'.You had better get back to the
town as fast rs you oln." said Bernard.
..Ay. ay, sir" answered the youth.
"And your"
Never mind me-" said the captain,
with the daredevil. Indifferent air OF
man caring little what became of him.
Apeculiar expression Of pity passed
over the face Of tho youth. More. q
tear cleaned in his eye as he walked
of toward the town.
What Is there about that young
fellow which always affects me so
Strangely" mnttered the captain to
himself as he moved off. leaving the
two desperadoes lying side by side, still
senscless.
Then he returned to the town and
made the vigilantes (police oflicers)
acquainted with what had taken place.
Before nightfall party of these men
arrested the two, robbers, who were
brought before the authorities In tho
town. Captain Warren and William
Marvel. the youth whom he had
rescued. appeared against the prison
ers. The latter were sent to tho Gala
boose. sentenced to hard labor for
lifetime.
The name of Captain Warren became
from that moment. hateful one to tho
mountain robbers, who resolved to get
him. II possible, in their clutches, and
hang him upon some tree where his
skeleton. high up on n topmost branch,
might swing rs u warning to others
never to attempt to prosecute tho
band.
Tho captain. who never feared for
nor in fact cared for his life, contin ued
his hunting excursions.
On some days it was nightfall before
he thought Of returning.
One evening Il terrific storm burst
upon him, while on his way to the
town. The heavens were obscurcd by
black clouds. and tho noise of the wind
was like the roaring of the sea. The
tall trees shook as II about to give way,
their branches cracking with din
like the rafting vollcys of musketry.
Meanwhile the rain came down in
siantiDg lines. driving against the young
ipan's face with force which nearly
stiticd him.
The violence Of the gale increased
every moment, the streams and rivulets
in The travellers pathway swelling to
torrents.
On came the latter rushing along
with force which were near throwing
the sailor of his feet. Finally the
waters increased to such degree that
Bernard. to save himself from being
overwhelmed by them, sought refuge
in deserted hut halfway up the
mountain side.
In the hut there was "a pile of logs,
behind which, at this moment, crouch

Il. Iywas William the youth whom the

casion, and who on this day had also
followed him. reaching. by circuit
Gus route. the hut before Bernard. who.
he thought likely, owing to the direct
ion of his steps, would there seek
refuge.
During all this time William had re-

logs. evidently fearing the captains
displeasure should he make himself
known.
Bernard had not proceeded far when
he discovered that he could go no
farther, the water filling the hollows
and other spaces in the ground so as to
prevent his progress.
He returned to the hut. William,

some shrubbcry to hide himself from

when he started to follow. He had not
walked more than ten steps when he
noticed a party of men approaching.
The moon having now emerged from
behind cloud. revealed enough OF
these personages for him to perceive
that they were mountaineers.
They had long boards and high
boots; some of them carried carbines
slung to their backs, while others were
provided with long knives.
The youth, who understood Spanish
quite well, heard one of them say:

turn. and know he could not have
gone far in the present condition of the
roads"
You would know him. il you saw

Enough. If we only overtakc him.

FAY, we will hang him to the tallest
