While this was being done, the horses
were brought up and held outside the
hut where Liberty and Therese were
imprisoned.
Manuel had previously gone to his
fathers room and prevailed on him 10
get his things together and start for
Mexico City, where he would be safe
until everything was over. The old
man had needed his sons advice and
was busy packing up his belongings.
When Manuel returned to the horses

taken from the hut. They were stand

Mexicans who were binding them. Lo-

he said.
Now 1t happened that Liberty's horse
had stopped right beside the man, who
stood with his hand on the handle of
the detonator. Her courage rose. She
summoned all her reserve strength, and
with one mighty effort threw herself
from the saddle and landed on the
Mexican. The impact forced the mans
body down on the handles of the de-
tonator, and an instant later a terrible
report was heard, followed by a ire

The men had already mounted their

were headed In the opposite direction

and made an arrow on the sand. Then
she reached in her corsage and drew
out small American flag and dropped

In the meantime, Rutledge and the
Major had reached the hacienda and
found 1t In ruins.
After thorough search of the other
buildings, Rutledge returned to where
the major was standing with some of
the rangers.
They've taken her away" said Rut-

At that moment, Pancho, who had
been injured as he hurried out of the
