 But Marion was long past saying anything that could be- of even the smallest comfort. It was MT. Upton who said slowly: ~y .... ,oc.s.....

fight made by the prisoners he had left in his camp told plainly enough sthe source of the story. e- ; The article stated that, acting on in. formation received from a Mexican prisoner who had been outrageously abused by the army officer who had captured him, the Tarryville Argus had dispatched a special correspond. ent to the camp of the United States troops s -4;
 There he found Major Updyke, who with. visible reluctance had substan- tiated the story about the jewel.
 Kynaston swore and ragged impotent. ly up and down the little room. Ap- parently it was not enough that he should sacrifice his life itself; his very reputation, too, was to be torn to shreds.
 Hour after hour passed. He had a little tobacco, but one cannot enjoy smoking in the dark. So he set and thought and thought till the tiny stars came out like forget-me-nots in the wonderful Mexican sky. and the camp woke to renewed life in the coolness.
 Presently he was aroused by the sound of someone fumbling at the chain that fastened the door on the outside. The door drew open. In the shadow he heard voice.

 had met him.
 "Si-si! What is it?"
 "If you will come with me it will perhaps benefit you.''
 Kynaston fumbled in his bootleg to see if that flat automatic pistol still lay close to his leg. Fortunately. he had not been examined for concealed weapons; the Mexicans had taken for granted that man surrendering him. self would not be fool enough to bring arms into a hostile camp.
 Kynaston stepped out. The officer with two guards crowded their way with their prisoner through the fast gathering crowd to the house where the general lived. By the light of the two gluttering candles stuck in empty bottles that illuminated the dirty in terior Kynaston saw, seated beside the rebel commander, figure that he rec ognized at once-the blind priest of Trocanto, the guardian of the shrine!
 The general was the first to break the silence.

 Ask him, if he is your source of information" said Kynaston in dis guised voice. He could see the priest lean forward in an eager attempt to identify him.
 There has been a story come to us'-the general was in deadly earn est-"that we mean to look into. There was a stone of incalculable value in the South that we meant to use to buy arms and ammunition to help our cause. We got it; then our forces were attacked by three times their number of the accursed federalistas. and so the stone was taken. It was then that, pursued by our men, the thieves fled across the line and took.

CHAPTER VII.
A Contest of Wits,


 Dusk was slowly drawing down as in the camp of the attackers excite, ment was rife. Serious as was his predicament, he could not help speeu- lating on the cause of it. Anything, even the most trivial thing. might turn the scale in his favor, and he did not mean to miss the slightest chance,
 He knew right well that given the chance, Upton would get his party out and across the border to the place where the cavalry had camped. He also knew right well that the old miner woud leave no stone unturned to help him. If he could gain thirty six hours at most and then manage to escape, he might still win out.
 He was by no means hopeless, though well-nigh desperate, as he drew down from the higher ground to the camp, well sheltered in the valley. He saw that more men were coming in presumably the talked-of re-enforce- ments.
 They saw him as he came down the hill and entered the flat on which the camp lay. The horsemen, in a madly yelling crowd swept forward toward him, lariats circling, horses frantically caracoling about him, their riders striving to see who should be the first to get rope about the neck of the accursed gringo.
 Mercifully he forestalled their at- tempts by backing up against a tall mesquit bush so that the loops of their lariats could not settle about his neck. Seeing his intention they voiced their of yells. ,s
 Further designs upon him were pre- vented by the opportune arrival of an officer, who dispersed the crowd by the simple process of beating them about the heads with stick
 Have you come from the house wonder, senor?"
 Yes. And I claim proper treat ment from you, sir You can hardly claim to treat people in your power de- gently when your troops are as out of hand as that"
 T will take you to El General Obis- DO, senor," said the officer courteous ly. For your own sake, warn you, do not anger him. His temper is a trifie uncertain, owing to his having to undergo severe privations for the past week.
 A sentry slept in the doorway. From the interior lcame the smell of meal that had evidently just been served.
 Following his guide, Kynaston en- tered. Fl General Obispo, a squat little man, whose high cheek bones and full lips betokened his Indian an cestry, looked up from the supper which he was eating by the simple process of stufhng as much carne seco in his mouth as that organ would hold, and then cutting off the balance with a none too clean knife.
 Fl general growled out question. The officer explained who Kynaston was. In answer the general rose hast fly from the table, spat the meat from his mouth, and began such a furious tirade of scurrilous epithets as to be- come nearly epileptic. Kynaston stood silent

For a few moments Kynaston sat, tapping his teeth with his penholder, thinking over the situation, revolving in his mind what he wanted to tell Upton and how he should tell it.

WIDESPREAD Is SEARCH FOR
 PLOTTERS
No Abatement Had in Effort to Locate Persons who were Responsible for Attempt to Poison Banquet Guests.

CHICAGO, Feb. 15.-There is no abatement in the search for the per sons suspected of complicity in what is termed nationwide anarchistic conspiracy against established society which came to head last week in hon or of Archbishop Mundelein at which the guests were poisoned. Jean Crones, assistant chef. and charged with the crime, was searched for in a score of cities but there was no trace. His friend Allengrini, charged with conspiracy. attempted murder.
 Bonino Marco, the chef of a Milwau- kee Hotel. was arrested on suspicion but later released. He at first was be- lieved to be guilty of complicity in the wholesale poisoning. Among the ma ny fantastic reports reaching the po- lice headquarters were that Crones committed suicide.
 Clues in Nashville and Minneapolis and other cities were investigated. Many suspects were detained. Doubt of the existence of an extensive anar- chistic plot is entertained by Assist ant Chief of Police Schoetter. who said no connection had been shown be- tween Crones and the organizations.
