CHAPTER VI.
The Death Game.


The faces of the advancing revo-
lutionists were grave. Two men had
come out of the mesquit and had laid
the body of the dead man upon sad
die blanket, which they were carrying
slowly toward their own lines.
"A little while ago, Senor Upton"
said one of the emissaries, a gray
bearded old man. I'VE offered you i'm
munity IL you would surrender and
thus save bloodshed. You refused
"We now come to tell you that we
now demand more. The man who
was just murdered was Colonel Pes
quiera, and / demand, in the name of
General Villa, our commander I'm chief,
that the man who shot him be sur.
rendered to us. Ho will be accorded
treatment as prisoner of war and
will receive a fair trial by court-mar
tial-"
Wilkes frankly laughed.
you call his death a murder! What
name do you give the attempt to kill
us, senor?"
You have brought 1t on yourselves,
senores; you have no business here on
the sacred soil of Mexico. But when
you deliberately kill Mexican citizen,
you shall have justice meted out to
you.
"If the man who killed Colonel
Pesquiera is given up to US, the rest
can go unharmed. IL he is not given
up-senores, we have sent for re-en-
forcements. We know that your sup
ply OF water is low. You cannot hold
out longer. 1t is but question OF
time. l warn you that If we have to
take the place we will show no quar-
ter to anyone"
Knowing the Mexican manner of
making war, ! am not surprised at
that" commented Mr.. Upton. go on. y

with Wilkes following. The two ex-
changed not word until they once
more entered the shelter of the house.
Then Upton broke the silence.
"We are in a bad fix and there's no
denying it, Wilkes. What the dickens

When they entered the council cham
ber Upton lit pipe and strobe up and
down, his brow wrinkled in thought.
Look here, Upton" Kynaston
spoke sharply. II can't bring those
men of mine over here even IL could
get them. 1t would mean war
There's no question about that. To
bring armed forces across the line
will mean war to a certainty. That
man was shot by one of us, Upton-l
