The Powder Mine.

"If this is our last match, shall we
use it now, or save 1t for another
time
Medworth had asked this question
when Tempest had handed him the
match in the underground passage
where the Americans had lost their
way in the darkness.
They felt along the moist, slippery
walls and slowly made their way from
one cavernous chamber to another, but
without success. After several hours at

And in fact. they had not accom-

The caverns in which they were We're
not under the castle of Salvarez. But
they We're not faraway from it.
From the entrance at the river bank
to the opening in the foundation walls
the way was crooked enough. One

to find mis- way.

Again they tried to find the entrance,
but did not succeed.
Meanwhile, what of Salvarez?
When he reiterated from the Zambos
he picked up his wife and daughter,
and withdrew to safe distance from
the castle to allow his soldiers time
to rtcuperate.
He remained here until ntEhtfall;

Fate of the Ole Presidents.

In the autumn of 1901 Mrs. w, of
Roxbury, spent a few weeks with her
daughter in Nova Scotia, returning
home shortly before President Nc
Kinley was shot, bringing her niece,
Bessie f., aged six years, home with
her. OF course, the child heard a
good deal of talk in the house about
the shooting of the president.
One day Bessie said to her aunt,
aunt Minnie, who is king of the
United States?" her aunt replied:
I'VE have 40 kings ein the United
States like you do in your British
country We have presidents. We
have an election every four years and
elect new one"
ooh, yes,' the child replied, land
then they shoot the old ones, don't
they?"

successful Cultivation.
3te long-continued effort to produce
Smyrna fig of commerce in Cali
f"rnis has been crowned with success.
The history of the experiment is in
feEeseing. 1t began over twenty wears
ago with Importation of cuttings from
Nsla Minor. Figs have been produced
from these and other imported cut
tings, but they were not the famous
white fig of commerce. The credit of
producing the latter in California be-
longs to George G. Roeding Of Fresno.
Until this summer every true SMYRNA
fig tree planted in California which
bore fruit failed to mature it; the figs
were unfertilized and withe.ed and
dropped. 1t was finally discovered that
the fertilization Of this fig depended
upon the service of the b!astophaga
wasp. whose habitat is in the capri.
or wild fig. The latter was imported
and thrived amazingly. hut the balsto-
phaga did not accompany it. Special
importations of the wasp followed, but
it thrived only for a season on the
capri fig and then disappeared. It was
assumed that it could not survive our
winters. Last year the department OF
agriculture took the matter In hand.
A fresh consignment was imported and
its care !ntrusted to Mr. Roeding Last
April the young insect colony emerged

CHAPTER Viii
At the Carib's HUT.


Salvarez.
The battle over, the victorious
troops had given themselves up to
feasting and drinking to celebrate the
defeat of Salvarez
The coronation of Philip had been
postponed. The battle had interfered,
and the troops were not now in a
condition to realize the glory of such
an event.
While the eating and drinking,
smoking and the singing of Spanish
songs went ON among the soldiers,
Philip sat alone in the library of Sal
varez, now called the council room
of the king.
His reveries We're Interrupted by the
entrance of Don Juan who burst in
upon him like a whirlwind.
Il am undone!" he cried. There is
an enemy among us"
Philip, seeing the frenzied look on
Garzas face, started to his feet.
What do you mean, Cara? Speak!
What has happened?"
Lola, my daughter," gasped Don
Juan unable to say more.
What of herr" demanded Philip,
pacing his hand on the hit of his
sword.
She is gone from the castle. Don
Juan walked back and forth nervous

ago. l found her door ajar She was
not there. l sought her everywhere in

picion of him"

81 do not know. have not seen
him"
Send for him let us see what he
has to say. If Gomez has taken her
away, he must die
'Yes-he must die-by my hand"
said Don Juan.
An orderly was called.
Request General Gomez to come
here at once said Philip.
The orderly saluted.
General Gomez is not in the castle,
your majesty" he said.
A quick look of intelligence dashed
between Don Juan and Philip.
''Do you know where he has gomez"
mo, you majesty. He left some
time ago. He ordered his horse, and
SAID nothing about his destination or
the time of his return.
did he go alone?'
Gle went alone"
Every we'll You may CO.
The orderly withdrew
What shall we do?" asked Philip.
Il must follow Gomez" said Don
Juan. Il would advise that you re-
main here, and act as if nothing
had happened. If Yea should leave
the castle, the alarna would in some
way reach Gomez. l shall ride out and
find him"
Go, then. and If you find he has
been traitor. shoot him"
Don Juan left the castle
Bring me horse at once" he said
to the orderly.
The horse was brought
do you know which way General
Gomez went from here asked Don
Juan.
He started toward the SOUTH" was
the reply.

CHAPTER Vl-(Continled)

Thus they talked, Gomez all the time
conducting the defense of the castle
against it's owner, and at the same
time keeping Philip and Don Juan
with him, and their interest centered
in the fight
An hour passed, and burned powder
on each side was the only result
achieved
Don Juan began to grow inpatient
"Of what use is this?" he exclaimed
The fools win play with those guns
all day and all night This kind of war
fare grows monotonous. When they get
weary they will depart, only to annoy
us again"
What would you advise, Don
Juan?" asked Philip.
ATTACK! Drive them! Cut them
down, 1t is only by destroying this
army of Salvarez that we can carry
our banners from this place toward
Caracas"
1T is so" said Philip, Gomez, why
not attack"
1T can be done" said Gomez darling

siegers away.
Savarez shouted out an order to his
soldiers. They had been impatiently
waiting for the time to come when
rifles and pistols could be used in the
defense of their country, instead of
cannon which accomplished nothing.
They rallied around their courageous
leader.
Fire." he commanded.

the men of Philip lay dead, and a score
wounded Yet the remainder did not
slacken the speed at which they adj
vanced.
They returned the fire.
Several of the soldiers of Salyarez
fell.
salvarez gave the command to fire
again.
The advancing enemy now, instead
of coming straight for Salvarez made
for the trees and found shelter.
Then began q sort of guerrilla fight
Ing, neither side gaining the advant-
age. Firing by volleys was out of the
question. Every man found tree and

1T is done. She is safe" he whisp-
cred in the ear of Gomez.
Gomez turned to Philip
1T has lasted long enough" he said
II will now show your majesty how to
deal with those who oppose YOU"
He gave the word to Mattazudo.
The two hundred Zambos under the
command of the rascally half-breed
swept out of the battlements, and
gaining the rear OF Salvarez, began an
attack.
Men of the republic fell by dozens
1T is of no use" said Salvarez Our
men canont hold out We cannot hope
to win. Another time, and the castle
shall be ours"
He gave the order to retreat
His men, being familiar with the
ground, melted away from before the
Zafnbos. and when there were no more
soldiers to pursue. the Zambos re-
turned to the castle.
Philip, Gomez and Don Juan stood
and watched the return of their army
from the scene of its second victory.
I'VE are invincible." said Philip
"You are king" said Don Juan.
