Fastening with all possible speed
from the south, and with these two di-
visions Barado calculated that he
would be strong enough to defeat the
forces under BOstOs.
He was about ready to move across
the plains to a position which nature
had made almost impregnable, when
severe rains set in and continued for
days without cessation. Two streams
coursed to the sea between the
armies, and it was not long before
they were impossible. The rains had
resulted in dire hardships for the revo-
lutionists, and after the first down
pours hundreds of men fell i'll with
fever, which, though fatal to many,
was combated with reasonable sue
cess by the hospital forces.
Capt. Pilaro waited too long before
he placed himself under the care of
the nurses; and, in the middle of one
of the widest storms, he breathed his
last, with Capt. Jerry and Marina
kneeling at his side. Jerry was per.
mitted by Gen. Barado to assume
charge of Pilaro's funeral arrange
ments, and just before the wasted
body was prepared for removal to the
captains birthplace, hamlet about
100 miles southwark, he delivered, in
the presence of Barado and his staff
officers, funeral grafton.
Marina, much against the wishes of
the physicians, was present at the
simple ceremonies, and sitting within
few feet of Jerry, her poor body trem-
bled in sapping chill when the-speak-
er referred to "pity' as that to which
he owed his life. Pity! How that
word ranked in her bosom!
Before Jerry Chambers entered The
College he had spent three years at
q military training school on the Hud-
son, and his knowledge of military
tactics made him particularly valuable
to Gen. Barado, whose men knew very
little of the secret of getting the most
out of their strength and organization
Indeed, the general considered him
self fortunate in having such a cool,
steady, practical head at his side. The
weeks Of delay that the rains had
caused were busy ones for Jerry, who
brought all OF his military training
into play; many raw recruit became
as straight and soldierly in bearing as
patriarchs of the service.

CHAPTER XII,
The Fortunes of War,

Gen. Barado's army went into camp
IN the foothills of the Bermendes
mountains, about so miles southeast
The leader of the revolutionists,
spurred on by recent important vic
tories in the south and west, was pre-
pairing for the most decisive stroke of
the long and bitter struggle.
The western division of the revolu-
tionists, under the command of Gen.
Provoco, reached the foothills 5000
strong and in excellent condition. Gen.

CHAPTER X.
Capt. Jerry Chambers.

The horses responded so splendidly
that after the first mile of the trail
had been covered the whips and spurs
were unnecessary. The sterling black
charger bearing Pilaro and Jerry was
kept to the fore all the time, Marina's
handsome bay-Gen. Bostos' favorite
field housekeeping so close behind
that at times it's burning breath almost
reached Jerry's back. The trail was
that only one horse could have pas
sage. Pilaro knew the way we'll, and,
although the dangers were great, he
plunged ahead fearlessly and con-
fidently.
The Forest Of the Somber Shadows
was the largest and densest unbroken
wood in Urania, covering vast area
of unexplored territory. The first sug-
gestion Of light in the east marked
the trio's arrival at its edge.
A little spot free from the under
brush and vines afforded them the
first resting place. The horses, almost
dead from the performance Of their
valiant work, sank to the ground as
soon as their reins were Free Jerry,
kept up almost entirely by the excite
ment of the perilous ride, collapsed.
Marina, drawing upon her last bit of
reserve strength, spread out one of
the horse blankets for him to lie on,
and then sat by his side and gave him
q stfmulant. - Fl .sss
The three slept until the sun was
high. The captain had brought three
or four tins of meat and some coffee
and hardtack, and after very meager
meal he went to the edge Of the forest
to reconnoiter. Jerry fell into deep
meditation after the officer went away,
and Marina aroused him with:
"Do you know that 1t is after sun
rise?"5 5.3. b.

After the ~5und mad Deen dressed
she went to the grating and conversed
fully ten minutes with Pilaro. At
times their conversation, subdued al
most to whisper, was very animated.
Jerry strained his ears to hear, but he
could get no satisfaction. At last, to-
wards midnight, Capt. Pilaro en-
tered the cell, nervous and visibly ex-
cited. He whispered few words to
Marina, and then, to Jerry's great sur
prise kissed her and went out. That
kiss told Jerry a whole story.
capt. Pilaro, senorita Sis
your-?'
"Capt. Pilaro loves me-" she said,
With a little smile. Jerry's senses were
almost stunned when, a few minutes
later, she drew the package from un-
der the cot. With her back to the
grated door she opened the package
and took from it a black cape with
hood attached, bundle of surgeons
gauze five or six bottles, and three re-
volvers. She put On the cape and
drew the hood we'll down over her
eyes, and then knelt at Jerry's side.
"You are not to die at sunrise!" she
whispered. "You are to live!"
Jerry was startled into rising like
Z flash to sitting position.
"What-What do you mean?" he
gasped.
my captain and are to have your
life! Come, be quick; get up! Can
you stand on your leg for time-just
q little time?"
Jerry sprang to his feet, and so great
was his excitement and so startling
his full-born hope that he scarcely felt
the sharp twinge of pain in the leg.
"See!" he cried in a whisper; II
c2n stand on it! Are you going to
help me to escape?"
"Yes; but for Gods sake, make no
noise!'
Marina tiptoed to the door where
she stood in absolute silence for al
most five minutes. She sprang back
with start when there came to her
ears and to Jerry's a low whistle.
"Come!" she whispered, excitedly.
"Follow mel"
In another instant the door was
open and the two, his hand in hers,
were stealthily moving towards the
bushes that lined the bank of the lit
tie stream. When they emerged from
the underground they were within ten
feet of the waters edge. A few yards
away, behind a clump of small trees,
was Capt. Pilaro with two saddled
horses. They moved quickly towards
him.
"Quick, my captain!" she urged, in
low tone. "He, shall ride with you.
You lead and I shall follow"
Marina Bostos," the captain said,
almost fiercely, 'do you love me?"
"Yes!"
In another instant Jerry Chambers
was on the horses back, with firm
hold to Pilaro's shoulders.
"Where-where are we going?" half
cried Jerry.
ITO the Forest of the Somber Shad-
ows!" answered Marina.
At the captains word the horses
were whipped into the stream, through
which they splashed and struggled to
the other side. Just as the horses
reached the narrow path that was to
offer the course to the dense forest 20
miles away three shots rang out in
rapid succession at the camp.
"Fly-fy with your might, my cap
tain" cried Marina, and the officer
began to lay whip to his horses side
with merciless vigor

Morenci and Clifton Will Play.

During the past two weeks there has been considerable talk about the Clifton and Morenci teams. It will be remembered that Clifton took the last two games from Morenci and is now in condition to repeat the dose. However, whichever way the victory goes, it will be a good game, as both teams are strong. Quick and Bru- baker will handle the slab work for Morenci and on the Clifton side will be Brock, as catcher, and Baroldy and Smith, pitchers. The balance of the team will be lined up the same as in the last game. This will be prac- tically professional game and should not be missed by those who enjoy the game.

W. 0. W. PICNIC A SUCCESS.
Everybody Had Good Time in the City
 on the Gila.

Fully 300 people from Clifton and
 Morenci attended the Woodmen of
 the World picnic at Duncan last Sat
 urday and many of theu had such a
 pleasant time that they did not re-
 turn until Sunday evening.
 Many of the passengers had to stand on account of the lack of room on the train, although the railroad company added two extra coaches. They were met by a committee of the Duncan people, who exercised every effort to show the visitors a good time.. A grand barbecue was given by the progressive citizens of the valley city and it can truthfully be said that it was the best barbecued meat ever offered to a party of DIG nicers. The hospitality of the Dun- can people, together with the Wood men members, under whose auspices the picnic was given, was one of the leading features of the day. Tables were spread under the beautiful shade trees in the heart of the lit tie city and those who did not lunch at the regular grounds, found other desirable places near the city. In the afternoon the Hobbs hall was opened for dancing and those who so desired had a fine time tripping the light fantastic with the beauti- ful daughters of the valley and sur rounding mining camps. Those who did not attend the dance enjoyed the ball game between Duncan and Cliff ton, which resulted in a victory for the former by the score of II 8.
 Among the pioneer residents of the valley who took part in the picnic was Judge Geo. Cosper, who has one of the finest farms on the Gila river. He had a good time shaking hands with his many old time Clifton friends.
 The picnic resulted in giving many visitors an opportunity to see the wonderful advancement of the val ley city. They inspected the many new buildings, inc uding business houses, dwellings and a handsome new cement block Presbyterian which is now about com- pleted. An inspection of the farms near Duncan gave one an idea of what may be expected when the re- sources of that section are properly developed. Although this is a dry season, the farms are supplied with an abundance of irrigation waters from the Gila river and the crops are all doing nicely.
 The Ladies Aid of the Presby- terian Church served some of the finest strawberries and cream that could be secured. They also served ice cream, cake and other refresh ments throughout the day.
 A special train was run from Cliff ton Saturday evening and a large attended the grand ball, re- turning home on the F o'clock train.
 The picnic was indeed a success in every detail and the Duncan people, as we'll as the members of the local Woodmen lodge, are to be congratu- lated upon having furnished such a pleasant days outing for those who desired to attend. This picnic will result in other good times for the Clifton people if the railroad con- pany will assist by making excursion rates.
