generalplled them outsideon the grass
beside the overthrown silver sentry.
Jack had handed up the last Of their
burden, and, still gasping for breath,
crawled up the steps himself. anxious
to again breathe the pure atmosphere
without. after having his eyes and nose
and mouth clogged with the fine dust
of ages.
Just as he reached the top hand
clutched his shoulder, and Barrajos
husky voice whispered Into his ear:
"Hushl Do not move arambal l
could swear saw figure fit through
yonder stretch of bright moonlight"
'tAhl that means"
"Ve have been followed"
''In spite OF our great caution"
Barrajo muttered few pet phrases
as though in this opening of the safe
ty valve he could allow the surplus
steam to escape.
There are some very sly dogs in
this world, senior, and we have our
share of them In San Jose. Yes, de-
spite the care exercised by one whose
long experience made him capable of
doing everything possible to throw
pursuers off the track. we have been
followed"
There can be no doubt OF their In
tentions." said Overton between his
teeth, as he allowed hand to steal
toward his weapons, for the Anglo
Saxon spirit was aroused within
him.
None at all They want this treas
ure, and If we hope to win we must
fight for It," came the stern reply.

Evidences that the general had
spoken the truth multiplied quickly,
for presently they heard signals, and
even caught a glimpse of dark figures
fitting from tree to tree.
Perhaps 1t was the first time on
record where white men made a rude
breastworls OF gold, but lying behind
the heap Of gold Images and vases
tnat Barraio had deposited upon the
ground they awaited an opportunity to
cut loose among the persistent
shadows that had followed from San
Juan.
1t was Barrajo who found the first
chance, and right well the old soldier
improved 1t.
AT least one thing was settled-the
imprecations in Spanish that followed
the report of his gun announced be-
yond any possibility of mistake that

but genuine, bonafide adventurers Of

II more evidence were needed they
had It when spiteful flashes of fire
punctured the dark spaces under the
trees. and the rattle of firearms fol-
lowed.
Some OF the bullets whistled over
their heads. while others nattened
against the novel defense behind which
they crouched.
"TiveT muttered the old soldier
when the scattering volley had come
to an end without doing any damage.
They had quite a little circus for
some time, firing back and forth, guild

They crawled away, keeping almost
fiat upon the ground and without in
terruption reached the spot for which
they aimed, where at the proper time
they could pour hot and dsadly fire
into the ranks OF the San Jose adj
venturers as they rushed forward in
closing upon their silenced enemies.
All this happened Just as Barrajo,
who knew the habits and tempera-
ments OF his fellows full we'll expect
ed, and the fusilade which they opened
on the advancing figures sent at least
couple of them to grass before they
realized the clever nature Of the STRAIT
agem played upon them.
The fight, being again open, ragged
along the whole line.
It was evidently destined to be 0

try the virtues Of these experimental
bombs, one that may never come

them.
Jack had Just turned his head mood
lily aside. ostensibly to look for enc
mics in their rear but in reality to
hide his emotion, when a sudden shout
electrified him.
AS he faced about he was Mortified
to see his sorely wounded companion
upon his feet and hurrylng with uncer-
tain steps toward the spot from
whence the last volley had come.
1t was too late to stay him, for all
ready the mad general was quarter
of the way over the Intervening
ground.
His cry had drawn out shots from /
those In ambush-Jack could see the
FIRE run the gamut Of three guns, and
at that distance he tremblad for his de-
voted comrade.
las he turned to look for Barrajo he
discovered that his worst fears were
realized-the old hero had gone down.
struck again by a merciess ball.
Then sudden fury seemed to pos
sess Overton-such feeling as may
make a giant OF stripling-lt was the
desire for revenge burning in his soul
and tinglIng to the very tips Of his
fingers, under the impulse of which
a man may do the most astounding
feats, such as might be worthy of old
time heroes.
In that second Of time he had
sworn an oath to slay those three
desperate adventurers or die himself
in the attempt.
He had even scrambled to his feet
with this stern resolution on his mind,
and was in the act of rushing forward
to hurl himself upon the ambushed
foe, when he discovered that Barraio
was once more rising.
Jack had a. pretty good idea as to
what was upon BARBADOS mind, SO that
he was not at all surprised to see him
draw back his arm and make ready
to cast projectile.
overton unconsciously came to a
halt and held his breath when he dis
covered that the general had actually
made the cast.
He had no time to speculate upon
the result.

One Yankee Racial Type.

A distinct racial type as marked al
most as that of any European people
has certainly been evolved in the Unit
ed States. but it does not bear any par
ticular resemblance to the Indian type.
It Is not difficult to designate an Amer
lean man or woman in Europe, and
Americans abroad are recognized not
only on account Of their clothes and
speech and external manner. but by
that something distinctive in face and
form and temperament which we call
race. It Is true that there are certain
superficial differences between eastern
and western Americans, between north
erners and southerners, but it is curl
GUS thing that in a country Of such
length and breadth and Of such diverse
climatic conditions, in country peo-
pied by descendants of so many branch
es of the Caucasian family. a national
racial type that is fairly uniform and
predominant should have been pro-
duced in few generations and should
be able to assi1nilate to itself the vast
horde of foreign elements which is con-
tinually being absorbed into it-Har-
per's Weekly.
