Zelaya and picked guard. So much
she had gathered from conference
at the bridge, when the cart paused
for further instructions; and more, she
had then learned that the cart was to
proceed with all speed to receiving
depot In the hills where Zelaya was to
wait with his prisoner till Joined by
the men he had left to guard the
bridge.
1t was high noon when at length the
cart lurched its last lurch and came to
a dead stop.
The complaint of its greaseless
wheels had barely ceased when Patria,
moveless beneath the straw. heard
voice she knew only too well. 1t was
Hurokis, ordering the driver to hasten
instantly to a nearby village and find
Zelaya, to advise him that 1t seemed
best to remove the prisoner instantly
to safer place: he-Huroki-wante
horses and guard for this purpose
without delay.
When the driver had gone, grum-
bling Huroki spoke briefly with an
other Mexican. ordering him to stand
guard over the prisoner pending the
arrival of the horses and the guard.
when he was to summon Huroki from
some observation point at no great dis
tance.
There followed three minutes of
quiet Then the girl took her life in
her hands and poked her head out of
the straw.
The oxcart was at rest before a
small adobe hut with an open door
She could not see through the door

way, but from the fact that the ragged
Mexican sentry stood close by under
stood that this hut was Donald's tenn
porary prison.
In the distance she saw Hurolli and
his creature, Kato, passing from view
behind a thicket, walking rapidly to-
ward what appeared to be the brink
of cliff.
There was no time to be lost. Hast
lily drawing her pistol, the girl
emerged from the straw and covered
the sentry, ordering him to drop his
rifle and put up his hands-which he
did with gratifying alacrity.
But he demonstrated more courage
and initiative than she had anticipated
of his kind. For when she left him
momentarily uncovered, while she
clambered out of the cart, the fellow
made an ill-advised snatch for his gun.
1t was necessary to shoot him or be
shot.
fastening by that twitching body in
the dust before the door. the girl en-
tered the hut, finding Donald there,
conscious but sorely battered and
bound to a chair.
1t was a matter of seconds only to
free him. But, once he was freed, the
riddle of the next step toward safety
loomed imperatively, its solution
thing of the utmost urgency.
Already Kato and Huroki, alarmed
by the shot, were hurrying back to-
ward the hut. Already the sounds of
hoofs approached from the opposite di-
rection.
There was q window in the back of
the hut; through this the fugitives es-
capped, even as Huroki and Kato en-
tered the ammunition depot by its door
way.
Then, skirting through underbrush,
they skullSed off as far as they might
under cover. When the pursuit Obliged
them to take to the open, they found
themselves hemmed in on three sides,
and under fire. The only way they
dared run was in the direction of HUI
rokis point of observation.
Two minutes later hotly pressed
they arrived on the lip of a cliff not
less than two hundred feet in height
commanding a wide view of the sur
rounding country.
AT bay. Parr turned and emptied
Patria's pistol at their pursuers, drop
ping two Mexicans and momentariIy
checking their rush.
Then-there was nothing else for IT
one after the other the lovers Ieaped
from the cliff.
A dense growth of foliage at the bot
tom saved them, breaking the force of
their falls.
Half senseless, bruised and scratched
and breathless, they lay on the ground
beneath that friendly screen of leaves
till the sound of hoofs and firing drew
them out, cautiously, to the edge of
the forest.
Along the road that skirted it tho
rear guard of the raiding party was
flying for its life.
In pursuit came a strong company
of the Claiming cowpunchers.

me that in view of this declaration,
which suddenly and without prior in

withdraws the solemn assurance given
in the imperial governments note OF
the fourth of May, 1916, this govern
ment has no alternative Consistent
with the dignity and honor of the
United tSates but to take the course,
which. in its note Of the eighteenth Of
April, 1916, it announced that it
would take in the event that the Ger
man government did not declare and
effect an abandonment of the meth
DDS of submarine warfare which Il
was then enjoying and to which it
now purposes again to resort.
Il have, therefore, directed the sec.
retary of state to announce to his ex-

that all diplomatic relations between
the United States and the German en-
