CHAPTER VI.
The Death Game.

The faces OF the advancing revo.
~iutionlsts were grave. Two men had
come out OF the mesquit and had laid
the body of the dead man upon a sad.
die blanket, which they were carrying
slowly toward their own lines.
"A little while ago. Senior Upton"
said one OF the emissaries, a gray.
bearded old man. we offered you i'm.
munity II you would surrender and
thus save bloodshed. You refused.
I'VE now come TO tell you that we
now demand more. The nan who
was just murdered was Colonel Pes.
quiera, and demand. In the name OF
General villa, our commander in chief,
that the man who shot him be sur.
rendered to US. He will be accorded
treatment as q prisoner OF war and
will receive a fair trial by court.mar

Wilkes frankly laughed.
You call his death a murder! What
am do you give the attempt 10 kill
as. senor?"
"You have brought IL on yourselves,
senores: you have no business here on
the sacred soil Of Mexico. But when
you deliberately kill a Mexican citizen.
you shall have justice melted cut to
you.
III the mar who killed Colonel
Pesquiera is given up TO us, the rest
a go unframed. II he is not given
up-senores, we have sent for re.en.
forcements. We know that your sup

out longer. II is but a question OF

making war, | am not surprised at

surrenders will receive a fair and i'm.

with a conviction already settled
Or. Nothing doing in that line, thank
you, Come on. wilkes, II that's all

Upton strobe angrily of up the hill,
with Wilkes following. The " ex-
changed not a word until they once.
more entered the shelter u the house.
Then Upton broke the silence.

denying II, Wilkes What the dickens

When they entered the council cham.

spoke sharply, Il cant bring those

There's no question about that. TO
bring armed forces across tho line
will mean war to a certainty. That
man was shot by n OF us, Upton-I
mean by you or me; and | can't say
which TO save my life.
Not that IL matters. There can be
only one outcome from the quandary.
You can't surrender, Upton, even II

A Pretty Hot Story.

Chabert, the fire king. who was a
popular favorite in London over eighty
years ago, claimed to be able to swal-
low arsenic and other poisons with i'm
punity. Visitors to his entertainment
were requested to come provided with
phosphorus, arsenic and oxalic acid,
which he proceeded to consume before
their eyes, taking an antidote after
ward which was supposed to neutralize
their effects. Then, to show that he
was as impervious to heat as to poison,
be would take a raw leg Of lamb into
an oven heated to 220 degrees and re-
main inside until the joint was cooked,
when it was carved and handed around
to the audience. The performance
concluded by Chabert rubbing a red
hot shovel on his head and face and
allowing any one who wished to drop
molten sealing wax on his tongue and
hands.-LOndOn Mail.

A Princes Chilly Dip.

Prince Henry Of Prussia is an ar
dent sailor, says Pearson's Weekly, but
he is known among the bluejackets as
a great martinez. The following story
is typical Of his methods, and shows
that although he expects those under
his command to put up with all kinds
of hardships, he is by no means above
''roughing it, himself.
One day, when he was on board
warship In the North sea, he suddenly
gave the order, Cali hands to bathew
1t was bitterly cold day and the
water was like ice. The order was
so evidently distasteful that one of
the officers ventured to make a mild
protest to the prince. Without an
swering him a single word, Prince
Henry, although fully clothed, sprang
over the vessels side, swan out good
distance in the icy water and returned
to the deck dripping from head to foot.
After that the sailors took their bath
without demur.
