tcont^nt with ^tvmg been the only woman ever to fly acro»» the Atlantic ocean, Amelia Earhart Putnam lew planning to add to her laurels by attempting a solo flight from Natal, Brazil, to Africa The darLiviatrix will probably follow the same route over which Bert Hinkler, British aviator, flew last November, ikler, the first man to make a West to East flight across the South Atlantic, made the hazardous crossing [twenty-two hours. The big hazard in the flight is the 1,660 miles of ocean that must be negotiated, but V Putnam has no fear of oceans, since she made the great flight from Newfoundland to Burry Port, Wales, ^1 the late Wilmer Stultz and Lou Gordon in 1928. Aviation experts still regard that flight as one of the |nt remarkable feats in aviation history, as 19 of the 20 hours consumed by the flight were flown “blind ’ jough snow, sleet, rain and fog, the intrepid trio being compelled to rely solely on their instruments for [formation as to direction, altitude and the hundred and one details that make all the difference between tand death. The plane which Mrs. Putnam will use on her South Atlantic solo is the l,orkheed Vega thsibeen flying for the past two years. It is being tuned and tested by Bernt Balchen, famous polar >, it the Teterboro, N. J., Airport and may later be used in the Lincoln Ellsworth antarctic expedition ibis Sumtnar

Dead-white her face, her Hair swept by the passing ever those haunted eyes

of hers scanned the slowly brightening desert to the south. As the stars paled in the breaking dawn a tall, gaunt figure stood in an upper window of the hacienda. His black eyes rose to the steep edge of the mesa, where the growing light cast in black outline the Cross of the Conquerors. Armed horsemen were circling up there, and even as he watched more men joined them, while still farther back galloping riders hurried on to the mesa’s rim. He turned his eyes to the south, wdtere from beyond the river, drawing nearer and nearer, came the dreaded Yaquis, their thick black hair streaming behind them, their almost naked bodies bent low over foatn-rtecked horses. , For a silent moment he watched those gray, dim figures of approaching horsemen, then smiled and called hack within the darkened room. The huge leader of his vaqueros joined him. and together they followed the descent of El Coyote's riders until they were lost to sight bene atb tbe

river bank.

Morales spoke. "Thos* vermin who come to avenge their leader may find a little surprise await Are all your vaqueros here'" “More than enough to heat back

these dogs.”

"Do not despise them. Itto mio" The Mexican made a gesture of rontempt. "\\ ithout then leader,

what can they do'”

Morales's long finger pointed to the river. "I hive seen well over hundred men descend out there. Ulind mad they are at the loss of their chief Beyond aie the N aqui with Anton at their head No. they are not to he despised -they are to he killed—every man. Bueno. Perhaps within an hour we shall know who is to he ruler of the border. Paco Morales or his peons. He looked down into the dark obscurity of the courtyard, then turned back

to the room.

"Meanwhile, should we not close accounts with the new owner of the Esperanza property H'' reached into the drawer beside him md drew out an automatic. But Jito shook his head. . "He is a brave man. seftor l et him live awhile. Besides a ghost of a smile passed over his dark face —"besides 1 may want to fight with him again.” ^ u u A little contemptuous laugh broke front Morales. “You stupid fool,

Adela loves him.”

"I know. But if I let you kill him I could never look at her again And so, in this one thing, seflor, let me for a time have my way." Once more the old man s eyes sought the desert “I overstay my dav on earth," he said at last. Adela, and now you. He straightened h.s shoulders. Again he had become the cold leader. "Do down among your men, lito. See that the gatea are well chained. Station men behind every corner of the building and on the roof of the hacienda Put your beat ahsta at the windows. Let t.'.caj

wait until those fools of Ed Coyote's attack, then shoot.” Again he looked out at the desert where, high >i> above them, the mesa caught I 1 -.* first sun ray. Screened by the steep hank of ‘hi river, El Coyote gathered his bai cl Nearly two hundred strong, thfv held among their number the be»‘ men of the border, and now they crowded around their leader, wno ted them for the first time unmasked With a frown Boh looked at the rapidly brightening desert. "I wanted to attack before dawn,” he sa’d quickly. “Each minute makes >t easier for them. Jito’s lacpieros are inside. They expect us to attack the gate and every rifle there will be ready for tt I want all but twenty of you to remain here Kill evety vaquero wdio shows himself on the hacienda roof The twenty men l choose will ride with me dose to the wall on the south -idc.

Then in you come, eveij man of you Enough words, com paneros. Let them feel lead and steel." His lips closed. His steel-grai eyes passed proudly over the met before him \V ith a thrill he saw on the face of each a fierce desire tc wipe out the domination of thosr past yeatv Quickly he chose the men to follow him. then he turned his horse and dashed for the ha.i enda wall. Almost at once flames began flashing from the upper windows. Tht barred gait - became a spitting sheit of flame.

"Adelante. amigo." he waved his rifle aloft, and together they Icsned forward. Already a dozen of his men stood in the shelter of the wall, and standing in their saddles, began springing over into that hell of shot and flame beneath.
