The Honor of the Flag (1911)
Mary lived with her mother at the XX ranch, which was on the Rio Grande, just across from Mexico, and, as there was a ford there, it was easy for persons to cross from either side. One day, while riding on the Mexican side, she heard screams of distress and came upon Juanita, a beautiful Mexican girl, who had been insulted by Jose, a bad man of that vicinity, who commanded a band of guerrillas, who plundered and stole under the guise of insurrectos. Mary interfered and ordered Jose away, but the guerrilla was determined to possess Juanita, and next day crossed to the XX ranch, where she had taken refuge, and demanded her. Mary and her mother had just returned from a visit to the camp of the American troops, then patrolling the border, where they had witnessed the maneuvers and a friendly officer had instructed Mary in the wig-wag signals for communication. They were not inclined to deliver the girl to Jose and told him so, also flying the "Stars and Stripes," which he tried to tear down, but Mary was too quick for him and ordered him off the place at the point of her revolver. Jose returned to his men and they attacked the ranch house, which was ably defended by the three women. Finally it looked as though numbers must prevail, so Mary mounted the rood and with a handkerchief tied to a cane, she "wig-wagged" the American camp for help. An officer, with a squad of Uncle Sam's boys soon responded. The guerrillas were forced to salute the flag, which they had insulted and were returned to the Mexican line with order to stay there definitely.
