lives were at steak, and they knew
not how long they would be alone
The drag0on corporal turned his
horse to the right off the road to
ward the glare of distant fire, say
ing:
"Thls way"
Gabriel rode beside him and Cas-
sc Tete dropped behind to get on
the other side.
They had not gone three yards in
the new direction when there was q
dull thud, and the unhappy Russian
fell forward on his horses neck with
a groan, stabbed in the back by Gas.
sc Tete, who said as he drew out his
dripping sword:
Poor devil it's pity but it had
to be done, my officer. This is tick
lish work we're on"
Gabriel nodded gloomily. He
began to wish that they could get
out of the Russian lines without so
much bloodshed, but he and his
companion could expect no mercy.
Casse Tete put up his sword and
they rode away along the road as
before at a walk looking sharply
ahead and ready for dash.
Gabriel judged that having, pass
cd the picket safely they would have
no further trouble, unless the main
body of the calvary column was en-
camped on the road itself.
They walked their horses on for
some distance when they saw the
glare of more fires ahead and finally
rode into the midst of large camp,
with the fires smOldering away and
the lines of horses at the picket
ropes chewing their hay as they
stood while the ground was covered
with sleeping men.
They went boldly on taking no.
tice of everything, counting the
lines of streets as they went and
passing safely among the sleepers
till they were startled by the sound
of gallOping hoofs on the road be-
hind them, while some one was
calling out in Russian:
"They have found the dead dra-
gOOn," said Gabriel, hurriedly.
"Trot up, before the camp is alarm
ed"
They dashed off though the last
streets of the calvary, but not in
time to escape the alarm. The cry
of the approaching horseman was
caught up behind them and the
sleepers began to start up and run
out into the road to intercept the
two fleeing cuirassiers. firing pis-
tolls.
Then came a short exciting dash
in which Gabriel and Casse Tete
drew their swords and cut at the
men who tried to intercept them.
The result of it was that in few
minutes they had cleared the camp
and were out on the lonely road
again.
Not unpursued though.
The whole camp behind them was
reused and they heard the rapid
clatter of hoofs behind them as they
swept on, coming closer at every
stride .-..-
Presently Casse Tete looked back
and uttered cry OF angry con-
tempt.
"My officer" he shouted, sit is a
squad of miserable hussars that fol-
lows. Let them have a taste Of the
French cuirassier, for the sake of
the flag"
Gabriel turned his head and saw
that his companion spoke truth.
Four hussars on light fleet horses
were fast coming up with them un-
singing their carblnes as they rode.
"Keep your trot," he said to Cas-
Sc Tete. "They can't hit US at this
pace. Ifthey come near enough let
them have it, but they only desire
that we should stop to fight them.
1t will give time to clIirassier to
come up to their help"

WORK on THE CASAL--THE S32O,0CO ROB-
Berry ny THE DICTATOR OF GUAYAoUIL--
PEACE PROSPECTS IN PERU.
PANAMA, May 16.--The English steamer
TbornhilI has arrived at Aspinwall from
Philadelphia with cargo Of coal and &C.
ment, and towing three launches for the
canal company. The marine dredge No. 3,
built in Scotland, has also arrived at Aspin-
wall from the Clyde. This vessel proceeds
at once 10 dredge out the basin at the mouth
OF Fox river, which is to be the port at the
mouth OF the canal.
Great excitement reigns in Guayaqul
about the robbery OF $320,O00 from the
bank by Veintemilla. Most Of the money
belonged to foreigners. who are using every
effort 10 induce their governments to order
the Italian and English men-of-war to cap
ture the Dictator when he leaves and COM
pei him to refund the money. He is expect
ed to vanish at the first chance with all his
spoil. and once out OF the country moth
ing can be wrung from him. His men
begin to desert. The outrosts stationed at
any distance from the town uniformly
take flight. Alfaro's troops are en-
camped about five miles from Guaya-
quill. and from a hill behind the city
their huts are clearly visible. Against
Colombia the Dictator's adherents are IN
tensely bitter. The Colombians have q
horror OF ANYTHING resembling dictator
ship, and for this reason they strongly
sympathize with Alfaro, Sarasti, and the
other rebels. The Colombian consul ut
Gusyaquil recently had an alteration
with an officer, in which he received a
blow with a stick, fact that widens the
breach already existing between the two
governments.
Foreign merchants in Lima are loud in
their complaints Of the high business taxes
the GILLIAN army is obliging them TO pay.

come President of the whole country, and
IL ne gets rid Of the enemy he will be IN

people favor peace, but the Monteneros do
not want it. depriving them, rs it will, OF
