Just outside of the windows. Graydon
could see his comrades firing at the
door from behind every conceivable
barrier. Without hesitation he dashed
down the aisle and into the thick OF
the fray near the door.
The struggle was brief but fierce.
The merciless fire Of many Mausers on
the outside opened way through the
small band Of defenders, and the rush
of the besiegers was successful
Through the door and windows they
came, swarming like bees. Many or
them fell to rise no more, but their
comrades took an eye for an eye.
Once confident soldiers toppled over
dead until but few were left. Banse-
mer led them In quick dash for the
chancel, hoping that the enemy would
not dare attack place so sacred.
Captain Groce and other officers had
fallen. Connell became the leader OF
the remnant. Bansemer stood squarely
In front of the altar and blazed away
at the horde of Fnipinos as they ad-
vanced. They shot at him wildly and
without effect. Bullets crashed into
the altaf decorations behind him. He

Behind him his comrades covered

girl urging him to protect her brother.
she was calling upon God and the
Holy Virgin to aid and shield him.
And he stood there with crazy Joy
In his heart. savagely pulling the trig-
ger Of the Krag-Jorgensen. Finally
the hammer snapped with no report.
AS he turned back in CONSERVATION a
small figure leaped to his side with a
fresh weapon.
He shouted a word of warning to
her and wheeled again to confront the
foe. Even as he raised the gun a great
shout arose above the noise of con-

seeing his amusement she said co.
quettishly:
"How could l possibly have known
that you were so nice? Besides, i
had always heard you Americans re-
ferred to as brutes."
Graydon laughed; then suddenly his
face became very grave. The realiza-
ton Of her terrible situation had
dawned upon him. A woman among a
crowd Of rough soldiers! Her brother
and protector dyingl And all sur
rounded by hordes Of savage enemies
who at any moment might kill them!
The thought dismissed all pleasantly
from his mind. Something must be
done, and at once Presently he asked:
"What is your manner"
"My father was Colonel Ramos Jose
Velasquez. That also Is my brothers
name, except that he is not an officer.
I am Teresa Fortune Velasquez. My
mother was English, a sister Of Sir
William Fortune. She is dead For
ten years we have lived In Manila"
"You won't mind II call the SER
geant, VIII your The girl nodded a
slightly bewildered assent as Graydon
moved rapidly toward the others.
Shortly he returned with the gallant
Irishman.

his forehead and assuming his most
polite manner, you are perfectly safe

with almost Chesterfeldian grace.
"But we are your friends"
Outside once more the Mausers were

parting. hastily took his leave. Gray

post, was prevented by the girl

recall that in The general excitement ii
was the boy who dragged him along
to the spot. And in spite of the solem-
nifty of the scene there was something
in his manner of delivering the insult
that amused rather than angered the
American.
''Plucky little devilr' he said half
aloud.
Again the sick man groaned. tried to
rise from the blankets and speak, but
only to fall back moaning. Connell
cautioned him against exertion and
promised that no harm should come to
either of them. While he reported the
discovery to Captain Groce, he had the
man carried to another part of the
church and there made comfortable.
For the first time now Bansemer began
to notice the pain in his arm. Some

caused him sharp pang of grief.
Both men turned their faces away for
a moment, and it was with a gulp that

as suddenly they were followed by ex-

the present situation with that which
they had anticipated. this information
had succeeded in !ntensifying their
modification
But notwithstanding his share of the
universal disappointment, a hasty re-
lection of preceding events convinced
Graydon that personally he had little
ground for complaint against the late
occupants of the convent, for uninten-
tional as undoubtedly had been the
act through which at the very point Of
death his existence had been pre-
served, there was no evidence to re-
flute the hypothesis that the shot which
had killed his assailant in the plaza

gents under cover.
