in one of the workings. Sellers was
again the victim. He was killed on
the spot. But Evans, the man whose
pick had tapped the flooded workings
previously, was also caught by the fall
ing rocks and was terribly injured.
They carried him to a hospital, and
there, before he died, he told strange
story. 1t appears that he and Sellers
and four other men had been in part

was Alleys, was caught by the l. d. B.

Evans had been delegated to carry 1t
out. He told how he had tracked Alleys
first to Tasmania, thence to Perth, In
Western Australia, and from there
back again, via San Francisco and Bos-
ton, to England, and finally ran him lit
orally ''to earth" in South Wales.
Several similar and equally strange
cases of long delayed revenge have
come to light during the past few
years, cases which for relentless per-
sistence remind one strongly of the
pursuit by the Russian general, Ouch
akoff, of his erring wife and the man
with whom she fled. Here is a very
strange one:

the verdict. So it was, but suicide
forced upon the unfortunate creature
whose nerve had failed him, when, in.
September, 1897, he had been ordered
by the chiefs of the Society of the Iron
Oath to fire the mine in the Nowy

at the time, but for five long years he
had been relentlessly hunted by the

he was tracked down in Londons

In January, 1908, two crushed hui
man bodies were found by a mule
driver at the bottom of the Barranca,
a deep ravine near MADRID. One was
identified as that of Colonel Blanco, a
Spanish officer lately retired. The
other was a brown-skinned man, whose
ankle was firmly grasped in the rigid
hands of the soldier. Plainly the ma
tive had pushed the other over the I'M
protected edge Of the path above, and
had been seized in his victims death
grip as he fell, so that murdered and
murderer had gone TO common doom
on the crags hundred feet below.
The brown man proved to be Phil
ippine from Luzon. Colonel Blanco
had served in the Philippines for years,
and had come home rich man. 1t
was notorious that his dealings with
the natives had been none too scrupul-
Gus. The true secret of the tragedy
remains unknown. But that it was re-
venge can hardly be doubted. If this
was indeed the motive, then the native
must have been following his intended
victim for nearly seven years. Colonel
