senior. If the half-breed follows me on
a horse he will surely overtake me and

"Are you telling the truth?" asked
Tempest

"By Jove! Well, old man, you came

Namampa, chuckling at his own
ready wit, mounted the horse, and
Tempest started off toward Carib Hill.

twenty-eight of its amendments were

seventeen amendments were redrafted

Senator Tillman, chairman of the

there it is safe to say it will be acted
upon by the house with the utmost dis

CHAPTER XXVI.
Another Battle.

1t was quite a journey to the hill,
and after Tempest had trudged awhile,
he began to regret that he had allowed
the Carib to take his horse. But, he
reflected, if the Indians story was
true, Lola was safe enough, and there
was no need to hurry. It was not as
if she were again in danger and he
was hurrying to her assistance.
He was rejoiced, after a tramp Of
several hours, to see the wooded slope
of the hill before him, and in his eager
hope to find Lola still unframed and
in the Englishman's care, he forgot
the fatigue of the journey and hurried
up the hill.
Suddenly he was startled by hear
ing shot and shouts as of skirmish.
Another rife-shot-two, three in quick
succession, and the Shrieks of wound

can attack" said Tempest. 'The
scoundrels have discovered the place
of refuge, and have come to recapture
Lola. I wish l had gun. But, gun or
not. I must have a hand in this"
Armed only with the knife, the gall
liant American sprang up the hill
toward the sound of battle.
The course he had taken brought
him up in front of the ruined temple,
and before his presence was discov-
cred he had ample opportunity of see
ing what was going on.
He saw a crowd Of at least a dozen
of the dirty horde under Mattazudo,
led by that worthy himself, who had,
true to Lord Chugmough's prediction,
returned to recover his lost victim.
They hid themselves behind trees or
rocks, and shot into the open end of
the ruin, now half barricaded with
stones and logs piled up by Lord
Chugmough and William.
Behind this rude fertilization he
could now and then catch a glimpse
of head and the quick aiming of a
rifle as one of the Zambos showed
himself, thereby drawing upon him
the unerring fire of the Englishmen.
Mobs like that led by Mattazudo

ambush than in fair fight.
But, numerous as they were, they
were at a marked disadvantage when
pitted against the two Englishmen,
for the repeating rifles inside the ruin
were aimed by men Of nerve, whose
hands were steady and whose eyes
were sure, whereas, probably, not one
nF Mot h0r0pC would have hit
man in full view one hundred yards
away.
When a Zambo fired, he was COM
PEELED to show enough of himself to
give Lord Chugmough something to
shoot at, and this mark was gener-
ally hit.
1t did not take Mattazudo long to
going the Englishmen would eventu-
ally wipe his force out of existence.
It became necessary, therefore, to
boldly attack the ruin in body. The
Eng1ishmen would no doubt kill
few, but two men in a hand-to-hand
fight must give way to overwhelming
numbers, and the lives of few

So, keeping well under cover him

With a shout the Zambos dashed
forward, two falling by the rifles of
the Englishmen at the very entrance;

but Tempest, as he saw one after an
other of the gang leap into the old
ruin, knew. that the gallant defenders
Of the temple and Lola Cara were
doomed unless he, alone could aid
them
Gripping his poniard tightly, he ut
tered a wild yell, and, rushing for
ward, he hurled himself over the bar
ricade and into the very thickest of
the fight.
Here's one for Medworth!" he
shouted, as he drove his knife into
the heart Of a fellow whose gun was
aimed at Lord Chugmough's breast.
Here's another for Crespo and the
Republic!" he shouted again, giving
another Zambo his death-blow
"Take one in the name of Uncle
Sam while we're at it" he yelled,
and another of the fiends of Malta
Judo bit the dust.
His sudden advent disconnected the
Zambos and gave Lord Chugmough
and William an opportunity to re-
cover. But even now they were out
numbered four to one, and the fight
seemed hopeless.
Tempest seemed endowed with the
strength Of seven men. With the
knife in his right hand he felled one
after another, while his left was busy
hurting his enemies from him.
He felt singing pain in his side,
and knew that he was wounded, but

Lord Chugmough managed to get
close beside him, and SO well did they
work together, with Williams calm
and experienced assistance, that eight
men were lying dead and dying upon
the earthen floor of the ruin, when
the others, panic-stricken and defeat
ed, fled from the place.
William" said Lord Chugmough,
calmly, with his usual drawl, as soon
as the last enemy had disappeared,
that was quite a little skirmish."
Then turning to Tempest, he said:
''And our success, sir, is due to your

brace Up! William, the brandy-he has
tainted"
Tempest, who had turned to speak
to Lola, who was covering in corner
during the progress Of the fight, had
reeled, staggered and would have
fallen to the floor had not Lord Chug-
mough caught him in his arms.
cit is Jack Tempest" cried Lola.
"Poor Jack! Poor fellow! Place him
here on these skins. There-make
him comfortable Poor Jack! How
nobly he fought"
HE is a good one" said Lord
Chugmough, working over Tempest
as he spoke.
In a short time Tempest revived
enough to open his eyes. He looked
up at Lola and smiled
"Ah-I'm-g lad-you're safe," he
whispered.
She knelt down by his side.
Brave Jack" she said. "Is Arthur

''My heaven!" exclaimed Lord Chug-
mough startled out of his iron COM
posture, ''the wound is bleeding
afresh!"
A gurgling sound in Tempest's
throat had choked further utterance,
and the poor fellows fingers gripped
Lord Chugmough's. He was conscious,
apparently, for he looked at Lola as
if ne wished to say something. But
the Zambo had struck too deep. In
few minutes the weary eyes closed, the
great chest gave heave, and the life
went out of Jack Tempest.

LAW is HELD VALID
CITY OF CHICAGO WINS FIGHT
FOR NATURALIZATION OF
STREET RAILWAYS.

Chicago, Sept. 15.-Judge Thomas
@. Windes, in the circuit court, has
decided In favor of the city of Chicago
In the Injunction suit based on the
Mueller law, which provides for the
issuance of SIS, 0OO, 900 worth of rail
way certificates by the city.
The law was declared constitutions,
by the court, who also held that subse
quent ordinances regarding the pur
chase and operation Of the street rail
ways, passed by the city, are in com
pliance with the law. The decision
was a complete victory for the city
the court holding against every point
advanced by the compliments in their
bill, which was dismissed for want OF
equity.
The court pointed out that it was
the evident purpose of the Legislature
and of the Chicago city council, in the
laws and ordinances passed by those
bodies, to give the city the right to
m%unicipalize the street railways.
