tation down below"
The leader pondered. Il was bound
the other way" he said.
THE marines'll cut you off," re-
turned Hernandez, they're after our
guns-they're after us. You'll have
to go this way"
You are quite right, senor," he con-
ceded
Hernandez beckoned him to one
side. Listen, general" he whispered,
| Il understand mine host of the planta-
tion is very rich Am l right"
The leader nodded. He has much
gold somewhere hidden" he returned,
although we have tried in vain-by
peaceful means-to get it,
"He has," went on Hernandez, some
woman guests-Americans. If you find
the gold, senior, you keep it. If I find
it, I'll divide with you. But the Ameri-
can women-they belong to me-"
Early next morning mine host OF
the plantation approached his guests.
Come with me to the wharf" he
said. Il have marine glasses We
shall see what we can see"
Once there he handed the glasses
to Mrs Hardin. Sonora" he ex-
claimed, tell us what you perceive
in the dim distance"
Mrs. Hardin took one look and then
turned a radiant face upon Annette.
ITS the Albany-Neals cruiser" she
exclaimed.
Annette seized the glasses. "The
Albany" she exclaimed, incredulous-
ly. What is the Albany doing here
the last time we heard of her she
was approaching Martinique"
The planter beckoned to servant.
Horses for the party" he exclaimed.
"We'll drive along the shore and visit
them. ! am partial to Americans-l
get along with them"
But the horses for the party did not
arrive-and for good reason. Half an
hour before, a plantation hand, stroll
ing to work from his hut in the hills,
in the cool of the morning, was set
upon by half a dozen armed and
drunken insurrectos. Had they been
sober it would have been all up with
him. AS it was, he slipped nimbly out
of their grasp, leaving most of his
clothes behind him, and cantered yell
| ing down the trail.
He reached the wharf more than
half naked and painting for breath. He
fell down at his masters feet.
Observation-Disclosures" he ex-
claimed
The master started. Then it was
shots heard" he said. He turned to
his guests. Come" he commanded,
there is not a moment to lose. Follow
me at once"
He reached the veranda and blew
three shrill blasts upon a whistle. I'm
mediately half hundred blacks
rushed upon the scene, eyes wide with
terror, but ready to obey orders.
Everybody in" he commanded.
"My guests will seek the bedrooms on
the second floor"
Annette touched the planter on the
arm. Give me a gun" she said. I'll
do my part. When there's a fight |

Forbidden Fruit.

The captain of the Rio Grande found
just at the time when he was off the
coast of Dolores-that his engine had
uncompromisingly broken down, and
that he must put into the nearest port
for repairs.
While I'm about it," he said to
Hernandez, his secret passenger you
can land your oil stoves for the in
surrectos."
Hernandez nodded. Your legiti-
mate passengers-some of your crew."
he said. you'd best get them out Of
the way first-we don't want too many
witnesses-the rifle cases might break
open"
It's all right" said the captain,
simple enough. I'll land 'em in the
daytime. Wen land your cargo in the
night"
He glanced toward shore. Sudden
ly he caught Hernandez by the arm.
"Yonder, senor," he exclaimed, look
-.the flag of the insurrectos-it is
their camp
Annette Ilington, startled by the ces-
sation of the engines, glanced out OF
the window of her stateroom. She
woke her foster mother, Mrs. Hardin.

There was not only land-there was
village-there was big house

A tattered insurrecto crept up to
the leader. General" he exclaimed
in his native tongue, there is news
from our outposts on the shore"
What news?" queried the leader.
"A cruiser has been sighted-she is
at anchor, general"
"Of what nation?"

ing Central American gentleman.
At the captains invitation he
boarded the Rio .Grande and looked
about him. His glance was keen-he
seemed to see everything at once.
"You will pardon, senior captain"
he explained, "but-these are sus-
! picious times. We look for trouble
everywhere. You see yonder hill.
Somewhere in that forest turks a revo-
luton. All that they need is guns,
senior. Guns md ammunition. Hence
my apprehension as to the Rio
Grande."
MY stars" exclaimed the captain,
/ "if I'd known they wanted guns, blow
me, but I'd have brought few along"
An hour later the Central American
was standing on the veranda of his
large plantation house, experimenting
the serving of iced drinks and bit of
/ food, to his accidental guests, Annette
llington and her party.
Annette suddenly rose to her feet.

"look-she is leaving us

would say-into a quieter cove. There
she will repair herself. Meantime,

The captain of the Rio Grande was
clever enough to perceive that he
| would further disarm the suspicious
of the rich plantation owner by mov-
ing the Rio Grande down the coast
instead of up the coast-away from
rather than nearer to the insurrecto5
stronghold. He knew his business,
! did the captain of the Rio Grande
And If he didn't, he had good direc-
tor. the Portuguese Hernandez.
"Ah," said Hernandez that evening
! from the deck Of the Rio Grande, 'her
majesty the NOON"
AS If in answer to his exclamation,
dozen rowboats shot out of the shad-
ows and lined up alongside the Rio
Grande. The first of these made fast
"a swarthy looking insurrecto

monkey. Hernandez received him.
"Senor," he said, saluting.
The other man grinned. you have

For Panama, yes smiled Herman
dez.
This said the other, with another
grim smile, "is Panama"
First and foremost, senor general"
said Hernandez, money down."
The insurrecto counted out the cash.
Hernandez thrust it into his pocket.
"Senor," he said, opening the door
and giving vent to low whistle, Il
shall be glad to throw in something
else with the oil stoves for Panama"
Two figures appeared in the door

The insurrecto gazed at one of them
in amazement. Then he turned to

What will you throw in?" he quer-
led.

two companions. "My own services
and that of my good friend, Ponto-

We would take pot luck with you"
The insurrecto's eyes cleaned. DE

Hernandez didn't mention that he
had other motives than just to help.
Half an hour later the last rifle
case-the last chest of ammunition
had been safely slowed away in the
bottom of the last small boat Then
Hernandez, his companions and the
insurrecto leader dropped into a
launch and sped away.

Rorke, who served several years IN
New York in the service Of the Central
News Of London, distinguished himself
as correspondent in Mexico, landing
under fire with the marines IN Vera
Cruz and later escaping from Mexico
City when other correspondents were
thrown into jail. He reached the coast
in safety, giving the outer world the
first news of actual conditions in the
capital. The fate of his companions
was in doubt for several days.
Just before the outbreak of hostili-
ties he was ordered to Europe, and in
the early lighting in Belgium narrowly
escaped being shot as German spy.
Subsequently he took charge of the
Central News Bureau in Paris, relin-
gushing this post to join the English
army, in which he has two brothers,
one an officer Of engineers, the other
with territorial regiment.
The only other male member Of his
family, his father, Alfred Rorke, head
of the old London firm Of John Rorke

the special constabulary which guards
the city at night.
