the wild beasts would CLEAN where we
had reaped. In the next instant there
was an exclamation of surprise: Saint
Iago! 1t is woman!"
Interposing to prevent the intended
shot, I bent over the slight figure that
lay full in the moonlight. with loosened
hair streaming about the white face
and big eyes that shone like those OF a
tigress brought to bay. She seemed
to be beyond the power Of motion. but
there was no lack Of intelligence in that
glance. Sapportez had come near. and
with an oath exclaimed: 1T is the very
one: that is the witch herself"

soldiers said, that the insurgents were

the little figure to ascertain where her

flashed upon the speaker. Then / knew
that this was really the very crown Of

PARTI.

When the king was in his twentieth
year the campaign of the Aqua Alta
occurred. Upon resigning command OF
the army had promised Perpeta that
my fighting days were over, but from
the time that the first gun was fired
fretted and chafed. My oranges and
grapes no longer engrossed me, the rose
garden was untouched and the Henne-
Quin aloes went to pole unheeded.
From the veranda Of my house there
was clear view across valleys and for
ests to the mountains Of Aqua Alta,
and spent my time in contemplation
of that prospect till Pepeta herself
brought me my sword and bade me "a

In moment she turned her face to me
again. General! Gen. Maduro!" She
thrust her arm against my chest, nearly
forcing herself from my grasp by the
suddenness and fury of the effort. I
understood the hatred of the man who
had sent her husbands head as pres
ent to the king.
Not Gen. Maduro, my child. l am
Arroya." For though she was an enc
my she was also u woman, and I pitied
the little creature. At the name her
whole expression changed and she
looked at me with wonder and ques-
tioning: Arroyo? Arroyo who was at
the Chico?" she cried.
Eyes, am that Arroya."
"Save meas you are brave and mer-
ciful, save me-" she faltered. She
looked at the soldiers as though she
would have them further away. I'm
derstanding that she might have some
thing for my ear alone, I ordered the
men to retire a little way, and when
they had done so she spoke quickly,
though with evident pain.
do you remember Col. Poey, who
was with you at ChicO?"
"Poey my dearest companion in
arms; he died long since. I owed my
life to him once on the battlefield.
Why do you speak of him?"
Because I am Col. Poey's daughter"
The news stunned me. I could find
no words to express my astonishment.
AS though in a dream heard her say:
IT am mortally hurt. But would not
die without the consolation Of the
church of my religion. o. if you are
really that Arroyo that my father low
ed, get me a Padre that may confess
and receive absolution before die"
1t would not be difficult, I thought,
to do as she wished If l had but place
to leave her; for it was very evident
that an attempt to move her to our
camp would be fatal before we could
reach it.
"Is there no house or cabin near?" I
asked.
"There is a hunters cabin about half
a mile from here" she gasped. 1T is in
the footpath that turns to the left as
you go towards the river"
So we lifted her carefully and carried
her slowly to the hut she had indicated,
and in that rude and inhospitable shell
ter we laid our burden, who had tainted
from the loss Of blood and the pain Of
her journey.
"Quick," directed SapporteZ. "Go to
the camp; take a dozen men with you
for safety, carry this "a note scribbled
to the generaD and bring back your
Padre"
But Sapportez aid:"General.w we have
no Padre in the camp. We had two,b but
one died Of the fever and the other ac-
companied his body back to the city to
celebrate mass for him."
Here was a dilemma which had not
been anticipated. Just then Antonio
came up to me.
Antonio" asked, do you know El
Libertad?"
"As well as know your house, senior.

"Stay Sapportez. You will not go to

served me In the old wars as body serv-
ant, but would not have left me for
fortune The pickets passed us on till
we reached the headquarters of Maduro,
whose welcome was evidently dampened
by keen anxiety and Vexation. 1 did
not have to look far for the cause.
Among the fires the men stalked about,
meeting in groups, gesticulating eX-
citedly and paying no attention to dis
cipline. Their officers seemed to have
lost the power to control them and were
in despair. A soldier reads such indica-
tions as q physician knows the symp-
toms Of disease. He does not need to
hear any words; the murmur of sullen
voices is threat in itself. 1t means in
subordination.
turned again to Maduro, knowing
that he would have something to say.
He answered my look:
"You see! have used appeals and ar
guments in vain; they have been har-
raised by an enemy they cannot meet
cannot see-till they are exhausted.
For four nights successfully, in diff
fersnt camps, we have been attacked by
some guerilla band that hides and scat

capes us. The soldiers have grown
superstitious about 1t and exchange all
sorts Of supernatural stories. I will not
be able to keep them in the field long,
even with bribes."
"Your pardon, general" said !, in
terrupting his confession of weakness.
"Permit me to go down and talk to the
men,"
"Willingly," he responded, but added:
sit will be useless!'
stepped into the middle of them, and
standing on a little hillock close be-
side fire that knew would light my
face strongly, I called in the voice that
my veterans knew: "Who was with me
at Chico?" Surprise silenced every
voice, turned every head. There was a.
moment Of scrutiny and then some old
wardog recognized me and shouted:
"Arroya! 1t is the general" In an in
stant, 1t seemed, the cry was taken up

ing Of the faithful old hounds that led

themselves hoarse and worked off their
excitement that way, raised my hand
for silence and they fell to listening, as
docile as children.
"Yes, my comrades: it is Arroyo, who
has envied you your glory and could not
keep away. Your welcome has stirred

some one will be sure to want him."
The servant went. He stole back
in the shadow until he had gone far
enough to be out Of sight of the house
on the corner, then, emerging boldly
into the street, passed me running,
and so came to the PADRES door I
could hear their voices as they spoke,
parleying and debating until one of
them flung his cigarette into the street
and directly passed my hiding place,
guided by the invaluable Antonio.

my boldness, but made haste to say
that the wounded man was in his own

barely allowed the door to remain open
between us while I spoke. I was afraid
l should have to commence to use force

I might be seen carrying him across the
street and a rescue would be attempted.
However, I had another card in my
pack.
II was sent by his daughter, Padre.
Such a beautiful girl, who is all alone
and she will not be comforted."
The Padre reached for his hat.
'Why Of course: 1t does not become
my cloth to refuse to go upon errands
of mercy, but you see what time it is?"
1t was, indeed, one o'clock.

The attitude of the DemocraticS Senate
in holding in check the extreme meas
ures of the House Republicans as well
the "holding up''of some Of tue appoint
ments Of Governor, is beginning to grow
serions, aud no one realizes this state of
affairs more than the Governor. The
recent conferences held with some Of the

ciliating matters,and while the Governor
is disposed to recognize certain elements

his pledges To the people. Mr.. yelling

it is said, are opposed to this Cancellation
ON tie part OF the administration, and
here lies the ''bone Of contention.n
The Governor realizes the fact that
the deadlock must he broken: that the
pledges made To the people are iuviOlable
and must he kept if the republican party
expects To have the confidence of the peo-
pie, and in consequence, some of the
States that were first made 10y the Gov

They will, no doubt, use their influence
to defeat the Governors personal bills,
and will also oppose the civil service bill

Senators are already putting on their

the Governor right along and force him
to come to terms. 1t remains to be seen
how the political squable will end and if
the Governor will hold out or give in.
