scarcely one of the legends attached to
his name but glowed with 1urid mani
festations of this quality. Besides, the
bandit appeared to be omniscient. None
ever lived to carry him false news twice
But true information was paid for with
terrific 1avishness.
Above all, Don Hugo could not forget
that the mans promises were always
kept; that he never failed to make his
acts coincide scrupulously with his
threats Uo in the Boca del Lobo, the
VOLTS Mouth, as the robbers valley was
called, all was going on as usual Don O.
remained in his cave issuing orders and
dealing out Justice according to his own
drastic code. But he was not idle The
task he had set himself was one Of enor-
nous magnitude and any small mistake
or slip could only end in supreme disaster
Don Q.'s plan was laid out very sub
tly, and with a minute precision of de-
tail, and he proposed to go down single
handed to smite his enemy.
When all was ready he called up Ro-
bledo and Gaspar to the cave
s'My children" he said. in his silkiest
tone, there is one under the mountain
with whom it is necessary that I should
deal, the governor of the prison Of
Castelleno."
A flicker of excitement lit up the dark
eyes Of the men. but the chief raised his
delicate yellow hand.
Il have nothing yet for you to do save
to secure the quiet of my musings. You
will bring my food as usual day by day.

Then Don Hugo. rising in his place, re-
ferred to the crowning offense Of which
the brigand had been guilty. He told. In
fact, with certain expedient deviations
from historic accuracy. the tale or his
wife's journey into the mountains. That so
beautiful a woman should have been kid
naped and half frightened to death stirred
the ready Spanish chivalry. and when
Don Hugo declared himself ready to ad-
minister an oath OF membership to So
ciety OF vengeance the idea was greeted
with acclamation and was about to be
carried into effect when servant dis
turbed the meeting.
A captain Of the civil guard was in
waiting below, charged to speak without
delay to the Governor on a matter OF the
highest Importance.
''You will be good enough to request
Captain del Pino to rest himself for few
minutes returned Don Hugo impa-
tiently.
Pardon. excellency. he bade me pre-

which some sentences were written.
The Governor glanced at 1t and uttered
an exclamation.
"Senors, Captain del Pine comes from
Madrid upon business connected with Don

A slender man in the uniform of the
civil guard was already bowing In the
doorway. His long blue cloak hung be-
hind his shoulders, and, as he raised his
-x-{&I hof-
assembly saw that he bore stains. not
only Of travel, but OF misadventure by the
way. His brow was bandaged and a spat-

She laughed again with an abandon OF

down the restraint Don Hugo had placed
upon his temper.

Spaniards, in spite Of their reserve. are
moved to excitement upon any subject
which touches them, nearly. The cabal-
leros of the district no less than the
citizens of the town appeared to hnd In
Don @. topic far from conducive to
calmness. However, his reputation stood
with the poor; the rich, whom he sent
empty away, bore him much Ill will The
room resounded with tales OF the mys-
terious brigand. Each man could supply
a different anecdote Of his annoying, II
not terrible, exploits. some OF which dated
back score of years. some Of yesterday,
but almost all stamped with that dis
torted humor which commonly bit too
deep for laughter.
The Count de Bermeja had told tho
story of Antonio's punishment by the
brigand, and another OF thu hidalgos had
spoken of a report that DON O. noped

should take the form OF an autobiography
and be enriched by q couple OF appen-

self. In q lonely gorge he found waiting
a horse saddied and bridled in semi
military fashion. During four days,
whether riding downward by devious
and little-known paths, or cooking his
meal at sunset, or lurking In thicket
to watch the passing Of couple OF
guardas civiles, or doing the dark
hours through rolled in his cloak, the
vision always before his eyes took the
form of the shapely ears OF tho govern
or of the prison of Castelleno.
He was engaged upon fantastic ex-
ploit. The difficulty of entering the
governors presence might in itself have
seemed insurmountable; but almost as
Don c. uttered the words OF the threat
plan formed in his mind
It was evening. On the roof OF the
prison beside a cluster Of potted palms
a couple of reclining. chairs had been
placed In the best position to catch the
cool airs from the mountains.
In one Dona Catalina yawned and
famed herself languidly, while the gov
ernor sat smoking cigarettes in the
moody silence that day by day was
growing upon him. Now and again he
lifted his eyes and gazed across the
white town and the tillage surrounding
it. to the tracery of peak and pinnacle
which beyond them climbed into the
pink evening sky. He had manifestly
lost flesh, and the frown upon his hand
some brows told of ruffied nerves.
A sweet. low laugh brought him to his
feet. He glanced angrily at his wife.

He was q strong man. mentally and

somber tint He would start at foot

He cursed his imagination, he cursed
Don O., he cursed his wife. but In his
heart of hearts he wished he had let
sleeping dogs lie.
He remembered hundred tales of the

him shudder. For Don O. was man Of

Then listen. The governor of the
prison of Castelleno was good enough
to declare in public that 1 have but one

Tomorrow you will take message from
me to his Excellency Don Hugo, your
husband"
But" she ventured, you promised to

"Tell him I have a little museum up
here in the mountains to which de-

"Tell him further that when / come

ROEBLINGS
DEFEAT ED.
Feature Of Game With Jersey
City Eastern League Team Was
Great Catch by 0'MeilI.

The Trenton Roeblings, most OF
whom are Perth Amboy Sunday play
ers, lost to the Jersey City Eastern
League team yesterday at Trenton
by a score of 10 to 3. Justice, Ben
nett and O'Neill, all of them favor
ties with the Amusement Park fans,
distinguished themselves at the bat
and in the field. O'Neill made three
safe hits, and Justice and Bennett
each made two. The only errors
made by the Roeblings were two on
the part of Wells, the first baseman
McCune, our catcher, was behind the
bat and did fine work.
The fielding feature of the contest
was a magnificent catch by Charley
O'Neil. Woods, the big third base
man, of Jersey City, landed on n OF
Egner's fast ones, and the drive had
'home run" stamped all I'VE it.
O'Neil, however, backed up against
the wire rope in left field, jumped in
to the air and knocked the drive
down with his right hand and caught
the sphere with his left as it was
falling to the ground. 1t was a great
catch and the auburn haired fielder
was forced to take off his hat in ac-
acknowledgement of the applause.
Thielman pitched for the Jersey
Citys and allowed the Roeblings elev'
en- hits.
