CHAPTER VI.
GUESTS OR CAPTIvEs?

The girl was explaining to her peO-
NIe the incident which had taken
place just before their appearance,
and was pleading for the lives of the
white men who had rescued her.
Keith was sure Of this. and as he
watched the old mans face he gath
cred hope. It kindled with love and
pride as he gazed down upon the
Sneeling girl, and the young Ameri-
ian shrewdly saw that through their
Effort in her behalf they had reached
The old Indians heart II was proba-
bic that she was his daughter, OF
granddaughter. and there was little
wonder that the stern man loved her
Barbaric as was her dress and orna-
ments. Keeth was forced to admit
that he had never seen so lovely a
creature.
The color came and went in her
dark cheeks as she talked; her eyes
shone; every motion was grace itself.
The tightly fitting gown displayed
every rounded curve Of her form. and
although she was so petite. the ma
turity of her figure was evident She
was q true daughter Of the tropics
But the affair was too serious 10
admit OF much thought upon the
girls beauty. It was in her power,
Keeth believed, TO avert bloodshed,
and he prayeI fervenuy that she
might be successful The fierce look
ing men Hno were gathered in the
background could not be driven back
by one discharge Of The rifles. They
would fight tia the last. one dropped:
and if blood was shed and he and his
comrades should be finally captured.
Keeth knew that they would suffer
the greater punishment.
Finally the old man lifted TIE gfrl
to her feet With her hand In his he
advanced toward the three white men
aud again spoke 10 Keeth. The in
t0aation o. the language WAS pleas
ant 20 the ear; there were few harsh
sounds in l. But AS far as Keeth
was concerned it might have been

covered with markings in various
colored dyes, or inks. and they seemed
ike ancient manuscripts.
Suddenly the old man spoke, and In
stead Of the unintelligible tongue
which he had previously used, he
said, in the purest OF CasuIian, yet
with an accent which sounded strange
to Keeth, accustomed as he was to
the speech of the South American
Spaniard;
Senior, who art thou. and whence
contest thou? Why dost thou seek to
penetrate the Businesses of these
Sierras which have so long been the
refuge of my people2"

Yes" said Fitch. while You was
a-rfskin' your life for that 'ussie, we
saw one of 'em among the rocks up
there. We've got to run for HIT"
KeeSh picked up his coat and start
ed to put it on. But cry from the
girl caused him to look up. Out of
the timber before them came a crowd
Of men armed with spears and clubs.
They were Indians-of a lighter COM
pIexion than those usually seen in
Peru-and were dressed in all the saw
age magnidcence of an unciviIized
people,
They were clothed in little but a
short tunic and sandals, but there
were brilliantly coIored feathers in
their hair and their arms and ankles
were adorned with heavy bands of
gold. They We're fierce looking, keen
eyed men, and without noticing the
white mems superior weapons,
marched soIemnIy toward them.
Their huge spears were advanced
Overwhelmingly, and two or three had
already fitted arrows to their tow
strings. At their head walked an
old man with wrinzled, parchment
ike face, dressed in a long white rove
Of finely woven llama wool
Great Scott. Keith" calculated
Ford. We're in for It Shall we
fight or rum"
Fitch had already unslung his rife,
and raised il up to his shoulder; but
Keith reused himself in time TO strike
the weapon up.
Not on your life, mani" he cried.
"One of those fellows with the bows
would spit you like q dried Goldfish.
Keep still and let's see what they
want. It will be time enough to fight
when they try to disarm US"
But they'll surround Us in a min
ute" growled Fitch.
STAND back to the tunnel here
They can't get behind Us then" re
turned Keith Keep your eyes open
and don't let them get the better of
US by a sudden sally"
The Indians had halted a few yards
away, and the old man advanced a
step. He addressed some words to
the white men which none Of them
understood. Tt did not sound ike the
dialects of either the coast or the
mountain tribes with whom they had
previously fallen in.
What's that he's saying?'' demand
ed Ford Can you understand the
gibberish, Fitch?"
Not Hi Try them with Spanish,
AR Keith suggested the trader.
Most Hinjuns understand that"
Keith, thus adjured, exercised such
knowledge as he possessed in that
direction The Indians faces did not
show that they had understood him.
They waited in silence a moment and
than the old man said sor--thing to
his followers.
At once the spears were raised and
again the bows bent.
It's fight, I reckon" said Keeth.
between his teeth Get ready to
jump behind that wall yonder. If
we can once get under cover we can
wipe 'em out before they can send
FOR reinforcements- Be sure your
magazines are full"
But at this critical moment. when
It seemed as though hostiIities would
at once begin. the girl, who had
looked on in silence. suddenly darted
between the hostile parties. She knelt
gracefully at the old mans feet and
began to speak. He listened atten-
lively. and as she continued he waved
his hand to the men behind him and
their spears were lowered again. The

THE BOIL WEEVIL.

The Mexican boll weevil has
made its appearance in the cotton
at the Audubon experiment sta
ton. The weevil is on al, isolated
patch on that farm, far from any
other cotton crop.
The state entomologist, DR.. A.
h. Morgan has decided; TO destroy
by FIRE the entire cotton crop of
the farm, in order to completely
destroy the pest before IL slras a
chance to spread to other parts Of
the state. t aFSs rs !;
The appearance Of the boll WEE
vii in this state is q, serious ;1raA-
ace to the cotton planting interest,
and every effort should be made
70 completely annihilate the pest.
How the weevil got to audubon
looks a mystery as the seed used
on this farm have been on be
place for ten years, and this is tile
first year the weevil has been dis
covered at the station es
The planters IN the parishes
should make very Careful exa1nii-
alton of their cotton and keep a
close watch for this pest in order

collection of one dollar from each
one of the sports who frequently
visit the famous Bayou Alexan-
dre,' one of the finest fishing
streams in the parish. where fish
and crabs are always plentiful. The
money raised will be used to cut
ting straight road to the bayou,
and building tables, benches and

said will shorten the distance to
about eight miles.

who have a right to know, who is
going to be the chief deputy
