CHAPTER XIX.
The Flood.

The great storm had an influence
upon all the characters of this history,
and to this influence some of the stir
ring events which follow may be at
tributed.
1t placed a great barrier between the
royalists On the south and the repub-
licans on the north side of the swollen
Orinoco, and delayed the departure of
Philip of AragoE toward the capital.
But to nc one did it bring such dis
tress and danger, change OF plan and
disaster, as to the two young Ameri-
cans and the wife and daughter of
General SalvareZ, who had up to that
time been secure in their underground
retreat.
The first day Of the storm they were
content to wait quietly in their ap-
parently safe shelter, fearing nothing.
But on the second day, when the
roar of the rushing waters reached
their ears, they began to feel anxious,
not only for themselves but for Sal
yarez, for they did not know how far
he had got on his journey.
On the third day their anxiety for
themselves became so great that near
iy everything else was driven from
their minds. Toward night. on this
third day, the Coroni so far overlooked
its banks as to send a rushing. roaring
stream into the secret passage.
eve are lost" cried Dona Maria,
when the water began pouring in and
spreading out over the floor of the
caverns. "Once before there was a
storm like this, and the caverns be-
came filled with water"
"Is there any possibility of escape?"
asked Tempest.
Jacinta looked obviously from one
to the other.
"The fatboat!" cried Dona Maria,
suddenly. IF we could but reach it.
1t is strong-it a outlive the storm.
1t is not far from the entrance to the
secret passage, if it has not been car
ried away. Nothing could upset it."
''The very thing" said Medworth.
Remember, Jack. the large boat at
the wharf just above? We have seer
it often enough"
Good" said Tempest. Eve ought
to be able to go to it, ever If we had
to swim"
"Come on" said Medworth, now
thoroughly alert and alive to the dan
gers and possibilities of the situation.
He darted toward the entrance with
Tempest ~splashing along close behind
him, leaving Dona Maria and Jacinta
huddled together, fearing. hoping. ST.
lently watching and trusting their
brave companions.
The stream of water that poured in
through the entrance was about a foot
deep. and the roar Of the storm and
torrent about them was deafening.
There was NJ need for caution. The
night was dark, and so fierce was the
storm that no sentry was outside of
the castle or the soldiers quarters.

the portly passenger as he lighted an
obese cigar with a red and gold life

CHAPTER XV11I.-(COntinued.)
Who are you?" he asked in Eng
lish. AS no reply came he repeated
the question in Spanish.
Don't shoot, senor!." came a voice
in Spanish. Il am only a poor Carib.'
Advance, poor Carib, and give the
countersign," said Lord Chugmough;
whereat William, who did not under
stand Spanish, lunged forward to have
a good look at the intruder.
Suddenly both he and his master
were startled at hearing a low, sweet
voice, as of a frightened child, cry:
Save me! Oh, save mel"
Bless my soul" said Lord Chug-
mOugh. It's a grill"
"Ha young lady, me lord" said Will
liam.
Lord Chugmough strobe forward and
took the yielding form from the arms
of the c%ringing Carib.
"Who is she?" he asked. why is
she here?"
Alas, senor," vas the reply, "the
river has risen. and | fear the land
will be flooded, and | brought the
senOrita here for shelter. She has been
very i'll, senior, and in my care, and
must give her some medicine at once"
"Ah! You are a doctor, them" said
Lord ChugmOugh, looking down upon
the beautiful upturned face of the girl
he held in his arms.
Yes" replied the Carib. 81 am
Namampa. the herb-doctor."
OH" said Lord Chugmough, as if
he knew all about it. William, take
the panther and deer skins and pre-
pare a bed for this young lady. She
is i'll. She-'pon my word-she has
tainted"
mo, no. am ill-weak!" muir
INJURED the girl. That man is an en-
envy. He"
Fear nothing" said Lord Chug-
mough, in English. He cannot harm
you. Will you tell me your name,
SenOrita?'
My name is Lola Garza," she whis-
pered. And then, in truth. she
tainted.
She is ILL.," said the old Garth. Il
will give her her medicine. and when
the storm has ceased | will take her
away again"
Lord Chugmough tenderly laid the
slight form down on the skins that
William had spread. and then placed
his hand on Namampa's arm with a
grip that made the old Carib writhe
with pain.
Not till | know where you are TAX
ing her" he said. And. mind, if your
medicine doesn't bring her round fair
and square, I'll riddle you with lead"

Dog as Guest of Honor,

Shot, a handsome retriever, was the
guest of honor and the recipient Of a
testimonial at a dinner at Hanley on
Saturday.
While Mr.. Harold Goodwin, the son
OF a builder, was walking through a
quiet part Of his fathers works in De-
cember, a man flung a heavy piece of
jagged iron at him and stunned him.
Shot flew at the ruffian's throat and
kept him a prisoner until aid arrived.

Medworth took his knife from his
pocket and severed the rope
With a mighty rush the boat swung
down stream and across it, bringing
up with a crash against the opposite
bank, a short distance below the Sc
Ncret passage.
"Hurray!" shouted Tempest. "If we
can wind up forty feet Of rope we can
bring 1t to the entrance"
They entered the deck-house and
found that with only one mooring the
boat moved against the stream as
easily as across the current. Ten min
utes Of hard work brought them to the
mouth of the caverns.
Without h%esitating, Medworth leaped
off and made his way to the hole.
"Dona Maria!" he shouted. "Jacin-
ia! Come! We have the boat and are
waiting for you"
The voice of Dona Maria answered
him. and soon the wife and daughter
OF Salvarez were at the entrance.
Can you get out?" asked Medworth,
extending his hand to assist them.

Dona Maria, as, half by her own exer-
lions and half by Medworth's help, she
scrambled out of the hole. Jacinta fol-

Medworth found himself unable to
keep both women on their feet.

called.
Tempest leaped from the boat and
splashed through the water to Ar
thurs side.
"DOna Maria, your hand" he yelled.
The wife of Salverez put her hand in
his, and he led her to the boat, Arthur
following with Jacinta.
Now up" said Tempest. "A hand
here. Medworth."
Between them they assisted Dona
Maria aboard the fatboat and then
lifted Jacinta out of the water and
placed her by her mothers side.

an Love" and Lovinu,

Being lin love" is very different
from loving, and may be only a selfish
emotion which is the direct opposite
Of loving. Being in love without low
ing is bondage-sometimes pleasant
and sometimes painful, but always
bondage. True loving means freedom
freedom both for ourselves and, as
far as 1t is in our power to give it, for
all whom We love; for when we truly
love anothe rhuman being we love him
for the sake of his best strength, his
best use. and his best happiness, and
not at all for the sake of ourselves.

"Is there any danger of starvation

"Of course, if the storm continues
many weeks, or even one week, I fear
there would be; but I hope 1t will not
come to that. The waters subside
quickly after the storm ceases"
But the Orinoco?"
"Ah, that is a serious matter. I fear
it will be a good many days before we
can cross the great river. The waters
may subside here, but the OrinocO will
be a raging torrent for days to come.
I fear the ships that were on the river

After a few more words they left the
council together. Tempest lis
tened carefully to the %receding foot
steps and waited even after they had
died away, to learn if any one had been
left.
Hearing nothing, he cautiously slid
back the panel and peered inside the
room.
Finding no one there, he stealthily
crept inside and glanced hastily around
for a weapon.

pistol"
Then he CHANGED to look down at the
table.
There, lying upon a map that had
been stained by dripping blood, was
the knife that had been taken from the
dead sentinel.
"Ah, the knife" said Tempest.
We'll if this is all, i must be made to

through the aperture, closed the panel
carefully and went down into the I'M
foreground passage and out in the ter
rible torrent.
Above the storm he heard a shrill
scream as Of a horse in mortal terror,
and blindly following the sound as
well as he was able to locate it, he
o found himself at the stables.
The stables upon which he had come
were not the well-kept stables where
the family horses Of Salvarez were
kept, but the sheds of the artillery and
cavalry beasts. They consisted of lit
tie more than a long. peaked roof with
outreaching caves. supported by strong
posts. Under this roof the horses stood
led in rows.
Tempest plunged in among them and
holding the lantern to light his way,
severed the leather halters with quick
strokes of his knife, and set the horses,
one after another, free.
This took him some time. and his
arm was weary when he had finished.
When there vas but one horse left,
he flung himself upon its back, and,

And with an abiding faith in the sa-

CAN'T FIND GOOD WATER.
City Supply Is l~mpresnated With
AIkali.

The city of Fort Pierre is finding a
great deal of trouble in locating a
water supply for that place. Several
test wells have been sunk at differ.
ent points along the river. and, while
a plentiful supply of water can be Sc
cured, 1t Is all so badly impregnated
with alkali that 1t is not satisfactory
for domestic use. A flow of water
was found in a gravel bed on Bad
river, a short distance from that town,
and 1t was thought that this would
solve the difficulty, but an ~investiga-
ton by the city authorities shows that
this supply has the same defects as all
that found along the river. Just how
the situation will be met is vet a prob
lem to be solved.
