Captain Juan Torrejon's bandits GER
tainly loved baseball, and evidently
played it to the best of their ability
and as often as time and place al
lowed. The clearing in which the
camp was pitched had a rude dia-
mond laid out at its northern edge,
while the southern borders showed
much evidence of the tramping feet
of the outfielders. Sentinels guard
ed the boundaries of the camp with
hawklike gaze; some twenty or the
bandits frolicked back and forth upon
the sward, waiting for the practice to
begin. and the rest of the operatic-
looking brigands, with their leader,
lounged around the catcher's position
Juan Torrejon greeted his prisoners
with great courtesy, and asked II

There was little chance for the
fugitives, even had their lead been
twice as long, for the inexperienced
rider has small show against the man
who has lived from childhood in the
saddle 1t was only few minutes be-
fore the grim pursuers overhauled
them, swept alongside, and checked
their horses by strong hands upon the
bride. SOlano drew his revolver, and
then, quickly realizing the helpless
ness of his situation. calmly returned
it to its resting place. Brockett drove
his right fist, viCiously, into the face
of the nearest rider, but was wrapped
round with powerful arms before he
could strike a second blow. Then the
cavalcadc, escorting the prisoners,
turned, rode out of the little cross
road, and trotted slowly up the hill.
Descending the farther slope, they
rode on in the same dead silence for
perhaps an hour. Coming to thicket
beside the road, they wheeled into it's
dark stretches, threaded their way
along a narrow track in single file,
and emerged upon clearing. in which
a campfire bla2ed brightly, while
some fifty men were lounging round
the flames. 4 scntry's challenge was
given and answered; the horsemen
dismounted, picketed their horses, and
assisted the prisoners to the ground.
A big, superbly nodded fellow,
standing some ten feet from the
flames. seemed to be in full authority,
and the boys were led towards him
when he waved his hand. Richly
dressed, heavily armed, the freight

nance, he looked the part Of the op-

Receiving the boys with a smile that

them to seats upon two huge Mexican
saddles near by.

apologized "You-one OF yOu-spik

versation, interpreting sentence by
sentence to Brockett, who sat calmly
by. occasionally interposing pointed
comments which the Cuban rapidly
translated to their captor.

caballeros," ran the suave speech of
the big brigand, smiles ripping

sons for my pleasure in making your

Despite the misery of their situa-
tion and the apparent overthrow of
all their plans, the boys could not re.
strain their laughter. This brigand,
this land-pirate, this desperate, who,
on the morrow, might wreck the fu-
ture of great nations, asked for in
struction in the diamond game! They
could not keep from laughter-and
even as they laughed Brockett's very
soul thrilled with the flash of sudden
inspiration.

in the morning, and that we will do
our best to teach him what little of

1t is impossible to make distinc-

and the course Of our thoughts. But
both are subject to change, sudden
and unexpected. There are turning
points in our characters no less than
in our career, and often the two are
so closely related that they cannot
be considered apart. 1t is worth

their source our ideas and impress
