but Tempest, as he saw one after a.
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 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
zudo 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
still fought on, unmindful of the hurt.
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 little skirmish.' y
Then turning TO Tempest, he said:
"And our success. sir, is due to your

''It is Jack Tempest" cried Lola
"Poor Jack Poor fellow! Place him
here on these skins. There-nake
him comfortable. Poor Jack! How
nobly he fought"
'He is a good one," said Lord
Chugmough, working over Tempest
as he spoke.
In short time Tempest revived
enough to open his eyes. He looked
up at Lola and smiled.
"Ah-I'm-glad- safe," be
whispered.
She knelt down by his side.
Brave Jack" she said. ''Is Arthur
with you?"

CHAPTER XXVI.
Another Battle.

It 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, IL the Indians story was
true, Lola was safe enough, and there
was no need to hurry. 1t was not as
If she were again in danger and he
was hurrying to her assistance.
He was rejoiced, after tramp of
several hours, to see the wooded slope
of the hill before him. and in his eager
hope to find Lola still unharmed 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 af skirmish.
Another rifle-shot-two, three in quick
succession, and the 3hrieks of wound
ed Zambos.
IAN attack" said Tempest. "The
scoundrels have discovered the place
of refuge, and have come to recapture
Lola wish / had gun. But, gun or
| not, must have hand in this"
Armed only with the knife, the gal
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.

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 fortification he
could now and then catch a glimpse
OF q head. and the quick aiming of a
rife as one OF the Zambos showed
himself, thereby drawing upon him
the unerring fire of the Englishmen.
Mobs like that led by Mattazudo
lean mostly to guerrilla warfare, and
the bravest of these followers of the
half-bree chose rather to shoot from
ambush than in a fair fight
But, numerous as they were, they
were at 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
Of MattazudO's heroes would have hit
q man In full view one hundred yards
away.
When a Zambo fred, he was COM
PEELED to show enough OF himself to
give Lord Chugmough something to
shoot at, and this mark was gener-
ally hit.
It did not take Mattazudo long to
discover that at the rate they were
going the Englishmen would eventu-
ally wipe his force out Of existence.
II became necessary, therefore, to
boldly. attack the ruin. in body. The
Englishmen would no doubt kill q
few. but two men In . hand-to-hand

numbers, and the lives of q few
wretches like the Zambos were not to

the tawny sea and sighted the clumr
of cottonwoods in which his ranch
buildings sat, and two minutes later he
swept into the yard and up to the door

speak was Mrs. Scribbins, who *
claimed:

''That's what. How's Rob-"
"Quiet as mice; but l hope We brought

Barnett rose from his seat stiffy and
climbed painfully down, While Braide
seized his case of tools and hurried
into the cabin.

"Just a short rum" answered Bar
nett as he swung the shining red bulk
of the car into Mogalyon avenue, which
led directly east over the plain.
Beneath their feet the puff and click
of the piston and the pur of cogs grew
each moment more furious until all
sounds fused into a humming roar.
The keen air of the morning smote the
riders jovially. The flaming sunlight
slanted upon them with growing heat,
and backward, beneath them, the sod
swept like a tawny carpet, while Bar
nett, watchful, intent, composed, work
ed the levers and valves with the skill
of a practical engineer. When they had
crossed the two railroads II were
climbing the long, low ridge he casual

When they had reached the top of the

The first instance was that of Thomas McNally, an east side rag-picker, who was found dead in the street with twenty,nine bank books strapped to his body, representing de posits of about $45,000. He, together with his sister, had lived for years in

 It appears that McNally had inher- tied $30,000 from his father, who was a junk-dealer, and had scattered it about in several savings banks, adding new ones to the list when his various accounts passed the $3,000 limit for deposits. Yet, with all this money al command he is supposed to have iiv. ed--if it can be called living-on noth. ing but bread and water.
 The case of Maria Corsa is even more surprising. This woman, with fully S1.000,0 ,000, and with $200,000 in bills, gold and silver locked up in her secretary, actually died of starvation in the old family mansion on Morris
