CHAPTER XXIX.-(Contlnued).
r. Baron Zollern glowered and growled
his statement that he had paid for the
letters, and that he. he alone, should
have first reading of the missives.
That operate brigand promptly found
refuge In his ignorance of the English
tongue. Loud language was heard;
the big German purpled in the face,
and the suave smile left the counte-
nance of Mr.. Yazimoto. Brockett, fas-
cinated by the faces of these two men,
whom he had thought removed from
his path forever, almost forget that
he was a prisoner, and completely for
got the dangers of his situation as he
listened to the quarrel.
Juan Torrejon stood by and smiled
humorously at the babel of tongues,
but finally seemed to tire of the up
"a He beckoned the young Mex
ican who had previously translated
his words to Brockett, and calmly
laid down the law to the contending
spies.

Torrejon, pleasantly. that 1 forgot
which one of you should have prece-
dence in your dealings with me. It Is
true, also, that ! did accept money
from you both. That money, how.
ever, was but q retainer, an advance

Baron Zollern emitted a snort OF

q capacious wallet from his inner
pocket-"iss ten tousand dollars more.

Juan Torrejon bowed with all the
grace of a true Spanish cavalier. 1T

other gentleman desires to offer still
MORE"
MI. Yaz1moto turned white beneath
his saffron skin.

honorable captain was a business

, Torrejon shook his head.
II fear" said he, that present op
portunities must be accepted rather
than future chances. Senior Zollern
permit me to present you with the
documents in question"
Grunting with heartfelt pleasure
