muscles under that swarthy skin, and
the cleaning knife was clasped in
his appraised hand as, driving into
the ranch and out of sight of the
hated ''Gringos, he burst into
the room where sat his wife and
daughter, and raging aloud, through
that he leaped like a panther to an
other door, fastened on the farther
side, where one instant he stood be-
fore admission could be gained, and
through a panel in which there
warily peered a bearded face, swarthy
as his own. And then Sonora
Moreno hurriedly banged the shutter
and took up her guitar. Something
had to be done TO hush the roar of
blasphemy and imprecation, mingled
with the shout Of exultation that in
stantly followed her lords admission
to the den.
Nine o'clock came. Murphy and
his party were gone. The beacon
still blazed at the westward pass.
The twang of the guitar had ceased.
Silence reigned about the ranch.
Old Plummer, with anxious face,
plodded slowly up and down the
open space in front of the deserted
bar. Feeny, with three loaded car
bines close at hand and bis belt
bristling with revolvers, was divid-
ing his attention between the safe
and the still sleeping troopers. Every
once in while he would station the
major at the safe, which had been
hauled into the easternmost of the
rooms that opened to the front in
stead of on the corral, and revolver
in hand, would patrol the premises,
never failing TO stop at certain
window behind which he believed
Moreno to be lurking, to warn that
impulsive Greaser not to show his
head outside his room if he adidr
want it blown off his shoulders
never failing on his return to stir up
both reeumbeRt forms with angry
foot, and then to shower in equal
proportions cold water and hot i'm
precautions upon them. To Pedro
he had intrusted the duty of caring
for the horses of his FRUSTRATED
comrades. Every faculty he pos
sessed was on the alert, watching
for the faintest signs of treaehery or
hostility from within, listening with
dread but stern determination for
the first sound of hoof -beats from
without 1t must have been about
10 o'clock when, leaving Mr.. Dawes,
the clerk, seated in the dark interior
beside the safe, Peeny stepped
forth to make another round,
to look at Mullan and his
partner, now beginning TO twiteh
and moan and toss in their
drunken sleep, aud then turned to
seek the paymaster. Whatsoever
lights Moreno had been accustomed
to burn by way of lure or encourage
meat TO belated travellers, all was
gloom tonight. The bar was ST.
lenee and darkness. The bare east
room adjoining the corral was ten
anted only by the clerk and the
precious iron box of "greenbacks."
No glimmer of lamp showed there.
The western apartments opening
only one into another and thence
into the corral, were still as night,
and even when a shutter was slowly
pushed from within, as though the
occupants. craved more air no CLEAN
of light came through.
Don't show your ugly mug out
mere, Moreno" cautioned Feeny for
he fourth or fifth time, "and warn
any damned cutthroat with you TO
zeep in hiding. The man who at
empts to come out gets bullet
through him"
There had been shrill protestation

CHICAGO, May 22.-The press co ngress.
which assembled in this city this morning
mt the memorial art palace on the lake
front, is a famous gathering Of Lit erary
workers. Editors and writers from all
parts of the world are there. inc with them
are women, who, In their lighter sphere OF
literature and journalism, have done as
much as the men nav one In theirs.
Great editors, literary celebrities and
famous writer's are commonplace in Chi
csgo this week II number and variety can
make genius Commonplace. An elaborate
programme has been arranged for the
morning m evening sessions Of every day
during the week. 1t tlcfudes addresses
from dozens of men and women whose
names are familiar to all the American
newspaper reading public and addresses
from literary people and editors as dis
tinguished in their own countries as the
Americans are in this.
The opening ceremonies were held In
hall I. This was a public reception to
which all those in attendance on the con.
gress nae been invited. The reception
party consisted Of the president and off,
