"A ladyl" she said, closing the door
behind her by way of caution. "And
a good thing for her she's not from

off you is a sin and a shame, and it's
not at home you're going to be to them

So K. had put on his coat and, with
out so much as a glance in Harriet's
mirror, had gone down the stairs. Car
lotta stood under the chandelier. and
he saw at once the ravages that trou-

promised horse. He leaped into the
saddle, and, an instant later was rid
ing through the canyon, with the camp
gradually being left behind him.
When he had gone, Liberty took up
the duty of sentry and paced back and
forth in front OF her tent. Presently
she saw another sentry coming down
the line. She hesitated as she watched
him approach. Stepping in the dark
ness, beside here tent, she waited for
him, and when he was Just about to,
pass she raised her gun and brought
1t down on his head. He fell to the
ground with a moan. Dragging his
body off the road. she left him and ran
to horse, belonging to one of the
Mexicans, which was tied In the
thicket, and jumped into the saddle.
Then she started off in the direction
of the desert.
Meantime Lopez went to Manuel's
tent and ordered him to muster his
men. AS he was returning he noticed
the tent where Pedro had been impris-
ored was apparently deserted, and GO
ing over he glanced in. All that he
| found was a sentry, half-dressed. seat
ed on the ground rubbing his head.
Where's your prisoner :" he shouted

tried to get up.

He left the sentry moaning with

rubbing his eyes.
Quick. Pedro :" she exclaimed. I'VE
must warn the aJor. They are going
TO attack"
In an instant Pedro was wide awake.
He listened as his mistress gave him
instructions TO get one of the horses
aud ride hard towards the troops. Then
she left him and returned to her own
tent TO make preparations to escape.
Pedro pulled back the flap of his
tent and hid In the dark shadows, just
inside, as he waited for the sentry to
pass by.
He had not long TO wait. For pres
emily the Mexican, his gun on his
shoulder, came strolling lazlly along.
When be reached the opening he hest
lated a moment and looked inside. AS
he did so Pedro leaped on him and
bore him 10 the ground.
Then the slave proceeded to strip
of the sentrys clothes, which he put
on himself. and taking his gun, he
stepped TO the opening and peered out.
The Mexicans were already beginning
to gather at the lower end of the
camp. Pulling his hat down over his
eyes, and shouldering his gun he step
ped out and began pacing up and
down, and. when nobody was looking,
he slipped into Liberty's tent.
He was surprised to find his mistress
already dressed as a sentry, and stand

Mexican. sprawled out on the ground,
In one corner, explained where she had
got the clothes.
"There is horse right In the rear

Pedro. who was anxious about the
safety of his mistress.

then, hurry"
With that Pedro stepped outside,
and following the shadows, made his
way slowly and silently TO the rear Of

Late September had come. The
