"No, not Echo Allen, but Echo Lane, for Dick Lane has redeemed his promise, and returns to claim you as his own." As he gazed upon the shimmering heat waves which distorted and displaced the objects within and beneath them, a group of horsemen suddenly appeared to him in the distance, and as suddenly vanished in thin air. "Rurales!" ejaculated Lane. "I wonder if they are chasing Apaches?
"Señor, the rurales!" he gasped. "How far behind?" "The railroad! They are ahead! They have shipped their horses to Magdalena, to Nogales!" "How do you know that?" "Pedro Salazar is dead. You were gone. They say it was you." "So they shipped their horses ahead to cut me off, eh? You're a good boy, Ramon, but I don't know what in hell to do with you. Your cayuse is played out.
The Government of the United States had occasion to accord permission for the passage of a body of Mexican rurales through Douglas, Arizona, to Tia Juana, Mexico, for the suppression of general lawlessness which had for some time existed in the region of northern Lower California. On May 25, 1911, President Diaz resigned, Senor de la Barra was chosen provisional President.
"And don't forget you're on the wrong side of the line," he added. The Captain of rurales and one of his men dismounted and followed the Americans into the cantina. The leader of the rurales immediately exhibited a warrant for the arrest of Waring, signed by a high official and sealed with the great seal of Mexico. The collector returned the warrant to the captain.
Me and Caligula Polk, of Muskogee in the Creek Nation, was down in the Mexican State of Tamaulipas running a peripatetic lottery and monte game. Now, selling lottery tickets is a government graft in Mexico, just like selling forty-eight cents' worth of postage-stamps for forty-nine cents is over here. So Uncle Porfirio he instructs the rurales to attend to our case. Rurales?
"But Dick is dead," expostulated Polly. "Dick ain't dead; I know it that is," he stammered, "I feel it in my bones he ain't dead. An' Jack feels it, too; that's why he's hurried up this weddin'." "But your own friend, Buck McKee, saw Dick just before the 'Paches killed him." "But not after it. An' Buck now thinks the Rurales may have come up in time to save him."
Why had she not done something thought of some way to save him? The ranger's guards led him to the military headquarters in the next street from the prison. He observed that nearly a whole company of Rurales formed the escort, and this led him to conclude that the government party was very uneasy as to the situation and had taken precautions against a possible attempt at rescue.
The man toppled from his horse, dead before he struck the ground. But when the cook reached him he was horrified to see that the man he had killed was a member of the Rurales, or Mexican border police. In his guilty terror he had shot the wrong man. He fled at once, pursued by a thousand fears. Late the next night he reached a Chihuahua village, after having been lost for many hours.
"Why, Bud, Dick never wrote all that dime-novel nonsense about the man who stood by him to well, not the very last, for Dick has managed somehow to pull through probably he was saved by the Rurales that were chasin' the band that rounded us up.
Meanwhile, he was horrified to learn that Dave Henderson, following hard on his trail, had been found bending over the spot where the dead soldier lay, had been arrested by a body of Rurales, tried hurriedly, and convicted to life imprisonment. The evidence had been purely circumstantial.
