dirt. A long coll OF wire was brought
up and connected to each one of the
kegs, while one end was fastened to
the detonator which was placed some
distance away.
Alvira and Lopez superintendent the
work, and when everything was ready
they fastened to the servants quarters,
where they warned the Mexicans to
take their belongings and escape.
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 to
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
he found Liberty and Therese had been
taken from the hut. They were stand
ing outside, struggling madly with the
Mexicans who We're binding them. Lo-
PEE and Alvira stood looking on in grim
delight.
Then Lopez directed his men to put
Liberty and ThereSe on the horses
which had been brought up for them,
as he and Afvira prepared to mount
their own steeds. Seeing that the rest
of the men were ready to start, the
party rode some distance away from
the hacienda and stopped while Lopez
gave directions to the man at the
detonator.

the hacienda push the handle down"
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
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-
toaator, and an instant later terrible
report was heard, followed by ire
crash.
Lopez and his men turned and
looked. A great cloud of thick, black
smoke arose before them to a height of
a hundred feet, followed by blast after
blast as the dynamite exploded. send
ing the debris high into the air.
The explosion wrecked the hacienda
and some of the other buildings near
by, but it did not hurt the Americans
as they had not yet entered the danger
zone.
The leader was Infatuated as he real
lied that his trap had been destroyed.

He snatched his gun from his holster
and leveled 1t at the girls head Then
he changed his mind, but as he showed
il back again in his belt, he shouted !:
you'll pay dearly for this, damn you -
They had no time to lose now, for
the Americans could be seen descend
Ing the hill towards them. and after
Liberty was thrown back into the sad
die they retreated post haste
After riding hard for some time LO-
peg and his men arrived at a deserted
hut at the edge of the desert, where he
commanded the party to halt, Dis

recting Manuel TO follow.
Bring the American girl and Their

little later with Liberty.
"Therese is exhausted" said Manuel.
"She has fallen from her horse and is
lying outside"

Manuel and Liberty were now left in

for a moment. Then, as he slowly
walked towards her he said: Now

"And he's coming right here, too !"
Almost before he had finished speak

As the machine stopped the aviator
jumped out and RutIedge and the Ma

that individual as he put out his hand.

SEVENTH EPISODE
Diplomatic Negotiations.


The fierce struggle between Liberty
and the sentry looked as though it was
going TO end in a victory for the girl.
She had pushed him away from her,
and raising his gun. which she had
managed 10 wrest from him, was Just
about to bring it down on his head,
when two Mexican entered with
Therese. They caught her just as she
was about TO run through the gate.
Thrusting her into the hut with Lib
erty the three nen departed to inform
Lopez.
Fate had deCreed that Pedro was not
TO meet the terrible death Lopez had
planned. The wild horse had dashed
away madly and carried him several
miles, dashed to its back. Then, as 1t
reached a turn in the road, which as
cended rather lofty hill. 1t lost its
footing and horse and rider toppled
over the edge and rolled over and over
to the bottom. The horse had broken
its neck, but Pedro was unharmeC, and
managed to unloosen himself. He stag,
gered to his feet, somewhat dazed. But
he was too weak 10 stand and sank
down on the ground. Then. his
thoughts returned TO Liberty. She was
in danger; he must go on until he
reached Rutledce and inform him of
what had happened at the hacienda.
Again he tried TO lift himself, but, at
that moment bis gaze was attracted to
the crest of the hill. party Of men
were approaching on horseback, and,
as he strained his eyes he was able
TO make out the figure of Rutledge rid
ing at the head Of the column. He
sank back on a bowlder and waited for
them. As they rode up the captain dis
mounted and ran over TO the Mexican,
who told him what had transpired
since he left. With an oath, Rutledge
sprang into his saddle and, after see
ing that Pedro was given a horse. the
rangers dashed of to the rescue of
Liberty.
In the meantime Lopez. surrounded
ny several of his aides, including Man
tel, was planning terrible fate for the
Americans when they returned 10 the
ranch.

land blow these Americans 10 hell -
''What do you mean" asked Manuel.
Lead them into a trap" continued
Lopez We will undermine the hu-
cienda lure them into it ard then you
will see what will happen Then he
turned to one of the MexicGns. You
Chico. must handle this. See that the
place is buried in dynamite. Then get
the detonator and the wire"
At that moment the sound OF horses
hoofs outside the hacienda attracted
the attention of Lopez and his aides.
Every man reached for his gun ano
waited. The next instant the door was
thrown open and Alvira with two OF
his officers stepped into the room.
"Ah. comrade' said Lopez. as be
showed his gun back into It's holster.
All but Lopez and Alyira then LETT
the room. When they had gone, Lo-
PEI went over to the side Of his friend.
The gringos will be here in less than
two hours.g he grinned. when they
arrive. they will receive their first
lesson"
Then they both left the house. The
men had already started 10 carry out
their orders. and several Of them were

Anniversary of American
Naval Victory at Santiago

Two battered masses of rusty. iron
rising out of the sea of the Cuban
coast near the village Of Juan Con
zales are memorials of the victory of
the American fleet under command Of
Admiral Sampson over the Spanish
squadron commanded by Admiral
Cevera on July 8, 1898. The anniver-
sary of this victory will be particu-
larly keen in the minds of the Ameri-
can naval men this year, for once
more the fleet is ready for action and
prepared to defeat the foe. The bat
tered masses off the Cuban coast are
the remains of Admiral Cevera's fig
ship Viscaya and the cruiser Almi-
rante Oquendo. After crossing the
ocean on their disastrous voyage the
Spanish warships, consisting of four
fine cruisers and several torpedo boats,
sought refuge in the harbor of San
tiago. The imminent capture of that
city by the American forces under
General Shafter compelled Admiral

STOCK MARKET

New York, July 3-Opening-
Leaders were under further pressure
at the opening of today's stock mar
ket, the movements also embracing
many special and minor issues. United
States Steel was the only stock to
change hands in more than ordinary
amounts, 1000 shares being offered at
an extreme loss of half a point, At
lantic, Gulf & West Indies, Stude-
baker and Central Leather yielded
large fractions to more than a point
Railroads were rather mixed, frac-
tional recessions in coalers and Louis
vile & Nashville being Balanced by
equal advances in Pacifics and Balti-
more & Ohio. The market became
more irregular before the end of the
first half hour.
The activity of the morning was
accompanied by succession of rail-
lies and fresh declines. Many i'm
portant stocks fell to lowest QUO
tatiols of the current movement Chief
among these were United States Steel,
Bethlehem, Crucfb1e and Lackawan-
ma Steels, Union and Southern Pa
cific, Reading, Baltimore & Ohio, thu
prominent metals and American Su-
gar. From surface indications the
setback was mainly caused by short
selling and lack of public interest

which was defeated by the skill Of
the gunners of the American ships.
The Viscaya and the A1mirante
Oquendo sank after being shattered
by shells and otherwise damaged by
flames. The project of raising them
has been brought up several times. 1t
was found, however, that the condi-
ton of the vessels was such that sal
vaging them would be useless, as they
are today just so much junk. So for
g. years the seas have been allowed
to batter them. The only reminder of
war that the broken hulks still bear,
Is a turret, its guns sticking into the
air, which still def1es the elements.
This was one of the large guns aboard
the Viscaya. It was during the battle

to his death, said to his sailors, Don't
cheer, boys. The poor devils are
