THE RANSOM
BY CUTCLIFFE HYNE,
Author of "Honor Of Thieves"

~. -You Will have the honor now or

be pleased with the result"
"I suppose we shall find that out
Iatcr." said Methuen with yawn, "but
anyway l don't think much of your
hospitality. A cup OF wine now after
that ugly ride we've had to-day would
come in very handy. or even nip of
aguardiente would be better than moth
ing"
II fancy IL might be waste OF good
liquor" was the answer, "but you must
ask Garcia. He will see 10 your needs"
a guard of twelve ragged fellows
armed with carbine and machetc had
followed the earless man into the hut
and two of them, whilst he talked, had
removed the settings from our knees
and ankles. They helped us to our feet,
and we walked with them into the daz-
zling sunshine outside.
"I'll trouble some OF you for my hat"
said Methuen when the glare first blazed
down on him: and then as no one took
any notice of the request, he lurched
against the earless man with n sudden
slycrye, and knocked his sombrero- ON

The guerilla barred his teeth like an
animal, and drew a pistol. I thought
he would have shot my comrade out OF
hand, and by his look could see that
Methuen expected it. Indeed, he had
deliberately irritated the man to that
end. But either because the nearness OF
Garcia and fear of his discipline stayed
him, or through thought of finer
vengeance which was to come, the ear
less man contented himself by dealing
battery of kicks, and bidding our
guards TO ward us more carefully.
In this way, then, we walked along
a path between two fields of vine, and
passed down the struggling street OF
the village, which the guerillns had &C.
cupied, and brought up in little plaza
which faced the white-walled chapel.

Garcia sprang to his feet with q

over backwards. You foul advcn-

and then he broke off with n bitter
'Pah!" and folded his arms and for n

said, coldly, my country's wrongs may

"We will now," continud Garcia icily,
