CHAPTER xv.-Ccntinued.
Smithers believes there is no fur
ther necessity for torturing the poor
devil whom the fortunes of war have
( thrown into his power. and is willing
to compromise the matter. So he sud
denly pushes the half-strangled guard
back into the compartment, and fnd-
ing a means of opening the door, pass
es inside just as the carriage ceases
to move.
All Sin has not been backward
about managing his share of the bust
ness, and he utilizes the piece OF iron
in his hand to such good purpose that
the car makes no effort to return to-
ward the bottom of the incline.
AS for Jack. he has his work cut
out also.
When the vehicle of transportation
ceases to move, he reaches the ground
alongside, and hastens toward the
compartment in which the party may
be found in whom he is SO deeply in
terested.
Now he reaches the door.
He is on the other side from that
selected by Smithers, SO that he sees
nothing of that worthy gentleman's
little engagement with the train guard.
=. why do we STOP guard?" asks
voice. and Jack readily recognizes it
as belonging to the very being who
fills his thoughts.
She is there within arms length of
him at the moment-what ecstasy the
fact brings to him-his Highland bride,
the girl who really bears his name;
and yet cruel fate compels him to
dissemble.
There has been an accident-a
coupling proved false, and the train
has gone on, leaving our carriage be-
hind" is what he says.
He hears feminine exclamations of
alarm, and the gruffer tones of mans
voice. Then out comes the white
head of the painter.
What is all this, guard? You say
we are left behind in the wilds. Cos
pita! this is, indeed, nice kettle of
fish,
Senior Roblado is evidently in tow
ering rage at being subjected to such
delay. He opens the door and springs
out into the night.
Immediately he makes discovery.
He looks at the disguised Squire
John as though something very singu-
lar has flashed into his mind.
"Carramba, you are not the guard
we had at the last statioE!" ejscu-
lates Roblado.
81 know It," replies Jack, simply.
'Then who are you?" demands this
fiery don. as If suspecting treachery.
"a passenger by the train. like your
self, senor, and one who is as much
interested in looking after our safety
rs you may be"
Roblado cools down little.
'What would you advise. senor?'
asks tue don. eagerly.
"a danger signal both up and down
the line, that we may warn them, no
matter from what direction they
come"
You mean lanterns?"
"If they can be had; but otherwise
fires will do Just as WE'LL"
"A splendid thought. congratu-
late you on your idea. senor. Let us
waste no time in accomplishing 1t. All,
who is this?" as All Sin comes creep
The Holly chieftain., 1905-10-27


the ladies may be defended" he says,
hastily, at which there is a general
showing of firearms that might appear
ridiculous in many countries. but
which is certainly not out of place in
poor, distracted Cuba.
Senior Roblado shows some relief
when assured that the revolver which
he so quickly brings to light is at once
matched by every one Of the others
present.
"Cospita! a brave collection indeed,
senors. With valiant men behind them,
am sure we need have little fear of
the result, unless"
The white haired artist and Spanish
diplomat never finishes that sentence.
While he is in the midst of it, there
suddenly salutes their startled ears a
heavy, rumbling sound. The very earth
seems TO quiver under their feet.
Thunder" exclaims Senor Roblado
on the spur of the moment.
Bah! look at the sky" echoes
Jack.
Not cloud Is to be seen; the sill
a brightness that has to be witnessed
in tropical cline in order to be ap-
preciateo.
you are right-it cannot be thun-
der, since there are no signs Of
storm. What, them" says the senor,
in no little excitement.
"Hark!"
AS Smithers utters the, one word,
they all strain their hearing. A gentle
southern zephy chances to be blowing,
and this brings to their ears faint,
faraway sounds that, while confused
at first. resolve themselves into shouts
and rife shots, together with all the
other various noises that signalize
battle royal.
Senior Roblado no longer gropes in
uncertainty after the truth. 1t has
leaps through space.
"Por Dios! listen to that senors.
Yonder men meet in deadly strife. And
that fearful explosion-I tell you 1t
was dynamite. They have blown up
the train those fiends incarnate who
fight against Spain!" he cries in
husky voice, that trembles in spite OF
the mans positive nerve.
Under those conditions it seems to
me our accident, then, has turned out
a most remarkable piece of good luck
for u.s." remarks Jack, with GOODNESS
that is refreshing.
"Quien sabe? At least we are alive.
and that is something to be thankful
for. But. gentlemen. have reason to
believe they seek me over yonder. and
upon learning the truth will come this
way in force"
That will be bad" declares Smith
ers, who has hard work to hide the
grin that causes his facial muscles to
twitch.
Very bad indeed. But. senors. If
they should come, that is no reason
we must give in like weaklings. my
self will set you an example. They
shall only enter yonder carriage.

Treasure Quest Abandoned.

After being engaged for seven weeks
under the auspices of the Duke of Ar
gyll, in diving operations to recover
the gold that went down with Span
ish frigate 81 years ago in Tobermory
bay, Scotland. the attempt has been
abandoned. The diver reported that
the exact position Of the ship could not
be found.

Sure enough Smithers comes hurry
ing to the spot, accompanied by the
guard, whom Re seems to have utterly
hypnotized, since the fellow shows an
eagerness to obey his slightest wish
that is really ridiculous to Jack.
