Julian Pindar, the English Minister. came
out. bareheaded. into the street and beck.
oned to Clay to stop.
AS our Minister was not here" Weimer
said, Il telegraphed to Truxillo for the
man-of-war there. She started some time
ago. and We have just heard that she is
entering the lower harbor. She should have
her blue jackets on shore in twenty min
utes. Sir Julian and 1 think you ought to
wait for them"
The English Minister put a OBTAINING
hand on .Clay's bride. IF you attack Men,
doZa at the palace with his mob he re-
monstrated. "rioting and lawlessness gen.
orally will break out all over the city. /
ask you to keep them back until we get
your sailors to police the streets and pro-
tect property
Clay glanced over his shoulder at the
engineers and the Irish workmen standing
in solemn array behind him. 'Oh. you can
hardly call this a mob" he said. They
look a little rough and ready. but I will
answer for them. The two other columns
that are coming up the streets parallel to
this are Government troops and properly
engaged in driving a usurper out of the
Government building. The best thing you
can do is to get down to the wharf ard
send the marines and bluejackets where
you think they will do the most good. I
can't wait for them. And they can't come
too soon"
The grounds of the palace occupied two
entire blocks: the Botanical Gardens were
in the rear. and in front a series of low
terraces ran down from its veranda to the
high iron fence which separated the grounds
from the chief thoroughfare of the city.
Clay sent word to the left and right wings
of his little army to make a detour one
street distant from the palace grounds and
form in the street in the rear of the Bo-
tanical Gardens. When they heard the
firing of his men from the front they were
to force their way through the gates at
the back and attack the palace in the rear.
Mendoza has the place completely barri-
caded," Weimer warned him. land
he has three field pieces covering
each of these streets. You and
your men are directly in line of one of them
now. He Is only waiting for you to get a
little nearer before he let's loose"
From where he sat Clay could count the
bars of the iron fence in front of the
grounds. But the boards that backed them
prevented his forming s.ny idea of the
strength or the distribution of Mendoza's
forces. He drew his staff of amateur officers
to one side and explained the situation to
them.
THE Theater National and the Club
Union" he said, face the palace from the
opposite corners Of this street. You must
get into them and barricade the windows
and throw up some sort of shelter for
yourselves along the edge Of the roofs and

u, rels of their rifles resting on the railing OF
the balcony. Their eyes had been trained
for years to judge distances and to meas
ure space, and they glanced along the
sights of their rifles as though they were
looking through the lens of a transit, and
at each report their faces grew more ear
nest and their lips pressed tighter together.
One of them lowered his gun to light a
cigarette, and Lansham handed him his

pugnance.

the man said. kindly. There's no use our
keeping your mines for you IL you're not
alive to enjoy them. Take a shot at that
crew around the gum"
Il don't like this long range business
Langham answered. Il am going down to
join Clay. l don't like the idea of hitting
a man when he isn't looking at YOU"
The engineer gave an incredulous laugh.
IF he isn't looking at you. he's aiming
at the man next to you. Live and let
live doesn't apply at present."
AS Langham reached Clay'S side triumph-
ant shouts arose from the roof-tops and
the men posted there stood UP and showed
themselves above the barricades and called
TO Gay that the cannon were deserted.
Kirkland had come prepared for the barri-
cade, and running across the street fas-
tened a dynamite cartridge to each gate
post and lit the fuses. The soldiers scat
tered before him as he came leaping back
and an instant later there was a rackIng
roar. and the gates were pitched out of
their sockets and thrown forward and
those in the street swept across them and
surrounded the cannon.
Langham caught 1t by the throat az
though it were human, and did not feel
the hot metal burning the palms of his
hands as he choked 1t and pointed its muz-
ze toward the Palace. while the Others
dragged at the spokes of the wheel. 1t was
TO suit even Langham. He found himself
In the front rank of it without knowing ex-
actly how he got there. Every man on
both sides was playing his own hand, and
seemed to know exactly what to do. He felt
neglected and very much alone, and was
somewhat anxious lest his valor might be
wasted through his not knowing how to nut
1t to account. He saw the enemy in chan
ging groups Of scowling men. who seemed
to eye him for an instant down the length
of a gun barrel and then disappear behind
a pun of smoke. He kept thinking that
war made men take strange liberties with
their fellowmen, and it struck him as being
most absurd that strangers should stand up
and try to kill one another, men who had
SO little in common that they did not even
one another's names. The soldiers
who were fighting on his own side were
equally unknown to him. and he looked In

The two supporting columns had already
started on their roundabout way 10 the real
of the palace. Clay gathered Up his reins
and. telling his men to keep close to the
walls. started forward, his soldiers follow
ing on the sidewalks and leaving the middle
of the street clear. As they reached n point
a hundred yards below the palace, a part
of the wooden shield behind the fence was
thrown down, there was a puff If white
smoke and a report. and a cannon ball
struck the roof of a house which they were
passing and sent the tiles .clatter,ng about
their heads. But the men in the lead had
already reached the stage door Ct the the
alter and were opposite one Of the doors to
the club. They drove these in with the
butts OF their rifles, and raced up the stairs
OF each OF the deserted buildings Until they
reached the roof. Langham was swept by

among the music racks in the orchestra. He
caught a glimpse of the early morning sun

palace gardens. swarming with soldiers and
white with smoke. Men poured through the
windows of the club opposite. dragging sofas
and chairs out to the balcony and upon the
ROOF. The men near him were tearing
down the yellow silk curtains In the lobby
and draping them along the railing Of the
oaicony to better conceal their movements
from the enemy below. Bullets spattered
the stucco about their heads. and panes of
glass broke suddenly and fell In glittering
particles upon their shoulders. The firing
had already begun from the roofs near
them. Beyond the club and the theater
ana far along the street on each side of the
palace the merchants were slamming the
IRON shutters of their shops. and men and
women were running for refuge I'D the
high steps Of the Church OF Santa Maria.
Others were gathered in black masses on
the balconies and roofs Of the more distant
houses, where they stood outlined against
the SOFT blue sky in gigantic silhouette.
Their shouts of encouragement. and anger

CHAPTER XIX-Continued.

CHAPTER XIX-Continued.
As they stood, drawn up on the three sides
of the plaza, he rode out before them and
held up his hat for silence. They were there
with arms in their hands, he said. for two
reasons: the greater one. and the one which
he knew actuated the native soldiers. was
their desire to preserve the Constitution OF
the Republic. According to their own laws
the Vice President must succeed when the
Presidents term of Office had expired or in
the event of his death. President Alvarez
had been assassinated, and the Vice Presi-
dent, General Rojas, was, in consequence.
his legal successor. II was their duty, as
soldiers of the Republic. to rescue him from
prison. to drive the man who had usurped
his place into exile. and by so doing uphold
the laws which they had themselves laid
down. The second motive, he went on, was
a less worthy and more selfish one. The
blanche mines, which now gave work to
thousands and brought millions of dollars
into the country, were coveted by Mendoza,
who would. II he could, convert them into
a monopoly of his government. If he re-
manned in power all foreigners would be
driven out Of the country and the soldiers
would be forced to work in the mines with
out Their condition would be. lit
tie better than that of the slaves in the salt
mines of Siberia. Not only would they no
longer be paid for their labor, but the peo-
pie as a whole would cease to receive that
share of the earnings of the mines which
had hitherto been theirs.
Under President Rojas you will have lib
erty. justice and prosperity" Clay cried.
Under Mendoza you will be ruled by mar
tial law. He will rob and overtax you and
you will live through a reign of terror. Be-
tween ~them-which will you choose?"
The native soldiers answered by cries of
.Rojas,' and, breaking ranks, rushed across
the plaza toward him. crowding around his
horse and shouting. Long live Rojas,"
Long live the Constitution" Death to
Mendoza" The Americans stood as they
were and gave three cheers for the Govern
ment.
They were still cheering and shouting as
they advanced upon the palace, and the
noise of their coming drove the people liz
doors. so that they marched through de-
serted streets and between closed doors and
pightless windows. No one opposed them
and no one encouraged them. But they
could now see the facade of the palace and
the nag of the Revolutionists hanging from
the mast in front of it.
Three blocks distant from the palace they
came upon the buildings of the United
States and English legations. where the
fags Of the two countries had been hung
out over the narrow thorcughfare. The
windows and the roofs Of each legation
were covered with women and children who
a sought refuge there. and the column
