We ought to have a wagon load of the stuff." "Yes, we surely need it and if we get any more of that Madero lad on board we'll need to have a wagon go along with us." "Wonder where he is now," Frank mused. "He certainly was a great lad. He didn't look so bad at heart. He looked to me as if he had gotten into bad company and didn't know the way out." "He's a bright fellow, surely," agreed Jack.
It was a good evidence of the control that Madero exercised over his men that this fellow, although he must have known he was placing his life in deadly peril, advanced to within a few feet of the stockade without a tremor. Apparently, judging from his expression, he was astonished that no hostile demonstration came from within.
He's been very obliging and I don't want to overwork him without paying him for his trouble," Tom added sarcastically. "Hurray!" shouted Jack. "The very thing! And that may replace the one we brought from Mobile and gave to that other fellow, what was his name? I never was much of a hand to remember names." "I know Carlos de Sneakodorus Madero!" announced Harry.
"Budt come," urged the German, as he concluded his narrative, "vee hadt better be getting inside der stockade." He pointed down toward the miners' village, where men could be seen hastening about, as if preparing to take action of some sort. What that action was, they guessed too well. Acting in concert with Madero, they meant to storm the mine, and break open the specie room.
The breaking of the bonds of recognized authority releases all sorts of desires, represented in the state by separate groups, each of which sees no reason for accepting the control of another. All seek to seize the dropped reins. The inauguration of Madero, therefore, did not result in a new and popular government but in continued disturbance.
In contemplating the present situation in Mexico there is a tendency of late to deplore the Madero revolution and the overthrow of Diaz, and to overlook the fact that the Diaz regime itself not only made and forced, by its political abuses, the revolution that overthrew it, but, by its economic abuses, prepared the country for the anarchy now rife in it; and also that it is the very same ring of men who surrounded Diaz and finally rendered his rule unbearable who are now financing and fomenting the present rebellion against a Government not in sympathy with them nor subservient to their interests.
The rising against him in Mexico has the character of a national revolutionary movement, the aims of which, perhaps, Madero himself has not clearly understood.
As a matter of fact, Madero himself, far from overstating the benefits of the revolution led by him or making unwise promises of a Utopia impossible of realization, addressed these words to the Mexican people at the close of that conflict: "You have won your political freedom, but do not therefore suppose that your economic and social liberty can be won so suddenly.
If, on the other hand but none of the party concealed in the cave dared to think of that. On came the trampling, and now it was quite near. A few moments would decide it all. Voices could be distinguished now. Among them the boys recognized the quiet tones of Madero himself. "You say, Señor Harding," he said, using English, "that those boys came this way?"
"I'm Jim and here is Ted," responded Jack, his heart beating like a trip hammer. It was a daring game they were playing. "That's good. Now we all know each other. I think that Americans enlisted in this sort of service should be on good terms, don't you?" "I certainly do," rejoined Jack warmly. "Fine! I'll bet we'll make good messmates. And now here comes Madero himself.
