A Flight
An Adventure With
Bandits In Mexico
By EVERETT P. CLARKE
Dudley Cauieron, connected with
producers of oil In Mexico, was sent 1
Bome forty miles northward from Tam
plco Into the state of Tamaulipas to
pay a man fSoru whom his employers
had bought some oil property $3,000
and got a deed for the laud. There
was no railroad to the place of his ;
destination, and he proceeded on horse
back. He carried the money In his hip
pocket underneath bis revolver.
This was when the Constitutionalists ;
were about to march upon Tampico.
Mexico has never been free from brig- ;
ands. and It was not to be expected
that In such troublous times the road
would be safe. But the property was
known to the purchasers to be very
valuable, and they were anxious to got
It into their possession. They were
willing to risk their funds and Cam
eron was willing to risk carrying them.
He would be largely the gainer if he
succeeded In paying for the property
ind securing a deed, because the com
pany that employed him was a very
large concern, and It was worth his
svhile to find favor with It
tie carried un provisions with him.
jalculatlug to get what he needed
ilong the way. He had made half the
Ustance when at evening he came to
in adobe house, at which be conclud
;d to stop for supper. Riding up to
the door he called to those within, and
the door was opened by a half breed
;irl about eighteen years old. She wus
)iilte good looking for a Mexican,
though dark cuuiplexioiied and with
joarse hair.
Cameron bad been In Mexico long
Miough to si>eak the language tolerably
veil and asked her if he could get some
nipper. She went back into the house
ind presently returned with n man, to
ivhom the traveler repeated tils re
quest. adding that he would like to stay
he night The man after looking him
jver scrutinizlngly assented. Cameron
ilsmounted, put his horse under a shed
ind entered the house. He found there
mother man besides the one who had .
■ecelved him.
Cameron did not quite like the looks
)f the men. As for the girl, she seem
?d to be in a condition of captivity. At
my rate, they gave her orders harshly,
ind she did their bidding apparently
because she could not help herself.
She cooked the supper, consisting of
tamales and tortillas, the latter thin,
light wafer-like cakes, being very de
licious.
After supper both the men left the
louse, and Cameron sat on the veranda
smoking his pipe. The girl was within
clearing the table and washing the
llshes. Presently she came out wiping
i plate and said to him:
"^enor, 1 would advise you not to
lodge in this bouse tonight"
"Why so?" asked the American,
starting.
"These men ore Danaiia. iney tuiieu
ny father, with whom I lived, and
Save since forced rue to do their house
ivork. 1 am awaiting an opportunity
;o return to the Klo Grande. I lived
)n tills side of the river, but If I can
:each it I will cross Into United States
territory. Then I shall fear nothing."
Dudley Cameron was a.chivalrous
fellow and withal at an age wherein
he greater the risk the greater Its at
ractlveness. lie was on his way north
ward. The girl also wished to go
northward, and he felt under obliga
tions to her for the warning she had
jiven him. To ride away into safety,
leading her to be tyrannized over by a
:ouple of bafodits, did not accord with
his sense of honor. As soon as she bad
spoken the last words she went back
into the house to finish her chores.
While she was doing so Cameron
thought over the situation. When she
tiad finished she came out and said:
"For the love of heaven, senor, do
not let them suspect that I have hinted
to you what they are. Do not say, '1
have changed my mind and will con
tinue my Journey tonight' At bed
time go to your room and pretend to
sleep, but Instead of doing so let your
self down from the window to the
frround—the distance Is not great
mount your horse and ride away."
"Why should these men trouble me?"
"The one who admitted you has seen
fou at Tampico and knows you are an
employee of the oil people. They do
not believe that you are traveling with
aut money, at least for your expenses."
Cameron made no reply to this. He
was thinking. How fortunate that
this girl was on hand to warn him I He
felt very grateful to her. Had she not
lone so he would probably have been
murdered and robbed during the night
Now, if he could not honorably ride
nway before the return of the men he
:ould at least stand on the defensive In
Ills room and beat a retreat through
the window. Then It occurred to him
that by taking the girl with him he
would be freed from the obligation to
^wait their return. Had he not so
much money with him he would risk
It. As it was. he did not like putting
In Jeopardy funds which had been in
trusted to his care. He wondered If
the girl would go with him.
"Have you a horse"—
"Pefita. My name is Peplta Gon
sales. There are horses In the stables
twlonj.lng to the bandits."
"At wbnt time cto they usually" re
torn 7" ,
"Theyrgo to n house n short distance
down the road, where they gamble nn<l
irink pulque nnd usually return late.
What they will do if they have de
signs on you 1 do not know. Quite
likely the.v will give you plenty of
time to get to sleep, come In late
stenlthlly and endeavor to take yon un
awares."
"Suppose you and I should leave to
gether. Is there not a point of safety
we could reach before they would
overtake us?"
After some thought the girl said that
If they could reach a city like Victoria
In time to secure protection all would
be well, but If they were captured be
fore entering the town the bandits
would surely kill the girl.
"1 am armed," said Cameron. "If
you were urmed also it would be un
equal fight"
"The men always carry their weap
ons with them."
Cameron did not like waiting for the
bandits to return and was equally
averse to leaving the girl under the
suspicion of having warned him.
There seemed no way but to take her
with him.
"If you are willing to take the risk
of going with me," be said at last, "we
will leave at once."
It was some time before Pepita re
plied. When she did she said: "I
would rather die than remain here in
captivity. Were it not for the times
I might invoke the aid of the law. At
present there is no law in Mexico.
But I will uot place you in jeopardy
on my account. I have suspected that
there are arms concealed somewhere
In the house. If I can find anything
with which to defend myself 1 will go
with you. If not 1 will remain. But
I will not ask you to remain also."
She vrciiLlnti) the house, where Cam
eron hearuher hunting. She had been
jjone some time when he heard some
thing give way. and In a few minutes
Pepita came out with a brace of .re
volvers. Cameron examined them and
found that they had been freshly load
ed. This-he knew from the fact that
the cartridge cases were not dingy.
Pepita had pried open a 'closet door
nnd found a Jut or arms and ammuni
tion.
Within (on minutes tne two were
riding away In tlio darkness. It was
about 9 o'clock, and the bandits wore
not expected to return till midnight at
least P.ut Pepita did not believe that
they would remain long in ignorance
of the flight. She suspected that they
might have set n watch on the house.
Besides, there were others of the gang
occupying here and there one of the
adobe houses along the road, any one
of whom might have been commission
ed to report any one hurrying by.
Their mute lay midway between the
gulf and the railroad leading north
ward through Victoria and Monterey.
The roads were mostly unpaved, so
that tbelr horses' hoofs sounded only
with n dull thud. Hoping to avoid at
tention, they rode for awhile at a
walk, then assumed n brisk trot and
finally broke into a gallop.
Pepita was right In assuming that
their flight would be reported to the
bandits. They had not been on the
way half an hour when suddenly Pe
plta's horse threw back an ear. In an
other moment the girl heard the tread
of horses coming swiftly, and lastly It
broke on the less sensitive ears of the
American.
"Now we must run for It," he said.
"We must direct our course to the
nearest town. How far is the house
we left from Victoria?"
"I've heard it said that it Is about
twelve miles." *
"We've come about five; that leaves
seven. We must turn Into the first
road we come upon leading westward."
The road forked a short distance far
ther on, the left hand road leading, so
Cameron believed, to Victoria. They
turned into it, but seven miles was a
long distance for a run for Jife with
men following on fleet horses. The
only comfort for the fugitives was
that their pursuers were doubtless full
of pulque.
Peplta's horse, as were all the horses
of the bandits, was fleet. Cameron
found It difficult to urge his mount
on to keep tip with ber. lie spurred
him and belabored him all to no pur
pose. Meanwhile the hoofbeats in rear
grew more distinct. At last Cameron
thrust his hand into his hip pocket,
pulled out his roll of bills and handed
them to Pepita. saying:
"Take tiiese and go on. If the ban
dits sparo my life 1 will join you In
Victoria."
"Is It money?"
"Three thousand dollars.''
She took it and, with a parting pres
sure of the hand, urged on her horse
and soon left Cameron far behind.
His horse was now staggering. He
dismounted and, slapping the animal's
haunch, sent him on. then took to a
thicket near the road. In a few min
utes the pursuers clattered by, to find
the horse, which they recognized as
the American's, standing exhausted in
the road a mile farther on.
Then began a search of the surround
ing country, which was fruitless and
enahled Pepita to reach Victoria.
There the two met in the street the
next day. Pepita handed Cameron the
bills, and he, after she had agreed to
remain where she was till his return,
completed his journey and the transac
tion upon which lie had been sent
The oil company paid Pepita a sum
equal to the one she had saved them,
and she went ti^live with relatives on
the other side of the Rio Grande.
Cameron gained a good deal of eclat
with his company by his feat, which
was added to since the property pur
chased turned out to be very valuable.
He was advanced to a prominent posi
tion and has the prospect of making a
fortune—
