Washington Irving has thrown over
this region a glamor of romance; yet
innumerable Potomac traditions, even
more stirring than those of which Irv-

mine.
When our great republic was in it's

wilderness was the scene of frequent
bloody conflicts between the adventur-
Gus white man and the Indian tribes,
whose imperishable names remain on

Here the unfortunate Sir Edward
Braddock, generalissimo of the British
forces in North America, led his gall
liant forces westward along the valley
of the Potomac, through unheard of diff

CHAPTER NNvf.
Another Battle.

II war quit. n journey To the hill.
and after Tempest had ,rudscd awhile.
he began to regret tina; he had allowed
the carib to take his horse. But. he
reflected. II the Indians story was
true. Lola WIS safe enough. and there
was no need to hurry. It was not as
II shc were again in danger and he
was hurrying TO her assistance.

several hours. TO sec the wooded slope
OF the hiii before him. and In his eager
hope TO ind Lola stiii unharmcd and
IN the EnElishman's care. he forgot
the fatigue OF tho journey and hurried
up the hill
Suddenly he was startled by hear
Ing sho, and shouts as of skirmlsh.
Another riac-sho,-two. three in quick
succession. and the Hhricks of wound
cd Zanhos.
An attack" said Tempest. THE
seoundrels have discovered the place
Of refuge. and have come TO rccapturc
Lola. wish l had n gun. but. gun or
not. mus, have hand In this.''
Armed only with tho knife. the gal.
liant American sprang up the hill
toward the sound OF battle.
The course he had taken brought
him M in front of the ruined temple.
and before his presence was dlseov-
cred he had ample opportunity OF Sec
ing what was going on.
lie saw n crowd of at least dozen
of the dirty horde under Mattaxudo.
led by that worthy himself. who had.
true 10 Lord Chugmough's prediction.
returned to recover his lost victim.
They hid themselves behind trees or
rocks. and shot into the open end OF
the ruin. now half barricaded with
stones and logs piled up by Lord
chugmough and William.
Behind this rude fertilization he
could now and then catch glimpse
of head. and the quick aiming OF n
rifle as one OF the Zambos showed
himself. thereby drawing upon him
the unerring fire OF the Englishmen.
liobs like that led by Mattazudo
lean mostly to guerrilla warfare. and
the brayest OF these followers OF the
half-brccd chose rather to shoot from
ambush than in a fair fight.
But. numerous as they were. they
were at a marked disadvantage when
pittod against the two Englishmen.
for the repeating rifles inside tho ruin
were aimed by men of nerve. whose
hands were steady and whose eyes
were sure. whereas. probably. not one
OF Mattazudo's heroes would have hit
n man in full view one hundred yards
away.
When n Zambo fired. he was COM
pellcd to show enough of himself to
give Lord ChuEmough something to
shoot at. and this mark was gener-
ally hit.
II did not take Mattazudo long to
discover that at the rate they were
going the Englishmep would eventu-
ally wipe his force out of existence.
II became necessary, therefore. to
boldly attack the ruin in body. The
Englishmen would no doubt kill n
few, but two men in hand-to-hand
fight must give way to overwhelming
numbers. and the lives of few
wretches like the Zambos were not to
be considered when the object to be
gained was the possession OF Lola
/ CARA.
So. keeping well under cover him
/ self-for the pleasure of possessing n
beautiful girl would be naught to a
dead mamie gave the order To
| charge.
With n shout the Zambos dashed
forward. two falling by the rifles OF
the Englishmen at the very entrance;
Rocky Ford enterprise., 1901-12-06

but Tempest. as he saw one after an.
other of the gang leap into the old
ruin, knew that the gallant defenders
OF the temple and Lola CARA were
doomed unless he. alone could ala
them.
Gripping his poniard tightly. he ut
tered wild yell. and. rushing for
ward, he hurled himself over the bar
ricade and into the very thickest OF
the fight.
Here's one for Medworth!" he
shouted, as he drove his knife Into
the heart OF fellow whose gun was
aimed ut Lord Chugmough's breast.
/. Here's another for Crespo and the
Republic!" he shouted again. giving
another Zambo his death-blow.
Take one In the name of Uncle
Sam while we're at it, he yelled.
and another OF the hends OF Malta
zudo bit the dust.
His sudden advent disconnected the
Zambos and gave Lord Chugmough
and William an opportunity to re-
cover. But even now they were out
numbered four TO one. and the fight
seemed hopeless.
Tempest seemed endowed with the
strength of seven men. With the
knife IN his right hand he felled one
after another. while his left was busy
hurlInS his enemies from him.
He felt a singing pain in his side,
and knew that he was wounded. but
still fought on. unmindfal of the hurt
