An hour later he was standing on

iced drinks and a bit of food to his
accidental guests, Annette Ilington
and her party.
Annette looked about her curiously.
There were things she wondered at.
"Senor," she said finally, even your

surrecto leader into the cabin and
locked the door.
First and foremost, senior general,
he said, money down."
The leader glanced at him suspic-
iously How do I know, senior, that
you can deliver" he inquired.
Hernandez shrugged his shoulders.
IF | do not" he returned, you will
cut my throat" He held out his hand.
Money" he repeated.
The insurrecto apparently satisfied,
counted out the cash.
Hernandez thrust it into his pocket.
"Senor," he said, opening the door
and giving vent to a low whistle, II

. Two figures appeared in the door
way and entered the room.
The insnrrecto gazed at one of them
In amazement. Then he turned to
Hernandez.
What will you throw in?" he
queried.
Hernandez placed one hand upon his
breast and waved the, other at his two
companions. MY own services-and

Hernandez didn't mention that he
had other motives than just to help.
He knew that ne cruiser Albany was
probably scouting around, headed
In the general direction of Dolores,
and that the cruiser would make II
uncomfortable for him. Nor did he
say further that, instead of aiding in
this lnsurrection, he expected fully
to lead 1t himself. lie merely waved
his hand again
"The oil stoves for Panama" he
exclaimed; ''let us on"

The scene was worth watching. The
insurrectos' camp was picturesque, to
say the least. In the center of it
and it lay in a veritable jungle-there
was a huge bonfire. Around this bon
fire collected several hundred insur-
rectos. They were a guady lot. Each
man was uniformed according to his
own ideas of warfare. There was no
order There was much disorder.
Into this scene, with huge bur
den ON his back, there stepped a
human giant-the Brute. He dropped

Tribute To German Courage.

London, Sept. 2S.-The new gene
raj offensive of the allies on the west
ern front has resulted in the gain of
additional ground, both in the Artois
region, near SoucheZ, and in the
Champagne, according to to-day's
French official statement. All the
heavy German counter attacks are
declared to have been beaten off.
The Crown Princes center made
furious efforts to counter in the Ar
gonne yesterday with the result that
all railway lines to the east and
north, according 10 French Informal
tion, were engaged last night in car
rying away German wounded.
French officers reckon that the
Grown Princes army lost 100000
men in this attack and previous as
saults during the summer.
The plan Of attack Of this army has
been the sending in masses Of two di-
visions, or about 10000 men at a
time against French works. These
engagements-each one equal in i'm
portance to some of the great battles
OF history-have been dismissed
hitherto with brief references in the
French official communications be-
cause the results were only negative
Germans captured recently testify
that the resistance of the French has
been as destructive as their offensive
and that their artillery fire, of deadly
effect year ago, has now attained
such intensity as to work demoraliza-
/ tiOn among their opponents.
in yesterdays attack the Germans
sent two divisions against the
| French lines after preparatory
I bOmbardment. The artillery fire did
not demoraliZe the French line,
which held everywhere when the Ger
man infantry charged. The two
German divisions broke, leaving the
ground dotted with their dead.
Three times the Germans renewed
their assault, making the attacks
with extreme courage. Each time
! they retired, leaving more dead.
! Many Of their wounded are still ly-
ing between the lines.
More Gains for French.
Paris, Sept. 28.-French troops
have made further gains east OF Sou
| chez and north Of Massiges. Prison
; ers taken included Germans recently
brought back from the Russian
front according to to-night's official
statement. The statement reads:
During the day Of September 28
| our troops continued to gain ground
foot by foot In the direction OF the
ridges to the east of Souchez. We
/, took about 100 prisoners, among
, whom were men of the Guard Corps

ties Of baggage which the enemy was
forced to leave behind. An inventory
OF this booty could not be taken until

Five Miles of Trenches Taken,

This attack was made in co-opera-
tion with the British, who attacked
on either side of La Bassce Canal.
The attack south of the canal was,
Field Marshal French reports, a COM
plete success. Trenches five miles in
width and about 1000 yards in
depth were taken at this point.
This push forward gives the Brit
ish possession Of the road from Lens
to LaBassee, which was used by the
Germans for moving troops and sup
plies, north and south, and threatens
to outfank the German troops which
hold the town of Lens.
Hill No. 20, one Of the positions
taken on the road, is less than a mile
directly north OF Lens, while HUI
luch, which also fell into the hands
of the British, is at the end Of the
road near LaBassee. 1t is only y
miles from Hulluch to Lille, the capi-
tai of Northern France.
North of the canal the British, al
though they fought all day yesterday,
were unable 10 hold the ground
gained and had to fall back to the
trenches which they had left in the
morning. The attack, however, ac-
complished one purpose, as, accord
ing to Field Marshal French, German
reserves were sent to check this
move, thus giving the British south
Of the canal an opportunity to con-
solidate their new positions unmo-
Tested.
A somewhat similar manoouvre
took place north and south Of the
Menin road, east Of Ypres, aud the
results we're the same. North Of the
road the British were unable to hold
the ground taken, but to the south
they gained about 600 yards of Ger
man trenches and consolidated the
ground won.
SO far rs is reported the British
took LOO prisoners, with eight guns
and several machine guns.
Some of the fiercest fighting Of the
campaign is in progress on the Rus
sian front. The Germans continue
trying to drive the Russians out Of
Dvinsk, while in Volhynia and Cali
cia the Russians continue to harass
the Austro-Germans, who had de-
signs on Kiev, from which town
they are now farther away than they
were a few weeks ago.
Gen. Ivanoff apparently is deter
mined 10 hold back the Austro-Ger-
mans, and his efforts are meeting
