Jacket was immensely pleased with
this idea, once he had grasped It..
"What could be better?" he cried. "The
mans spirit is evil enough to frlghten
people away and we will drop stones
upon him, so that he can learn the
taste of his own medicine. 1t suits me
exactly to think Of Colonel Cobo stand
ing on his head in hole in the ground
for the rest Of eternity"
O'Reilly was by this time suffering
the full reaction from the events Of
the past half-hour and he was nearer
exhaustion than he dreamed, but, con-
quering his repugnance for his unes-
capable task, he lowered himself once
more into the well. His arms were

them. Slowly, laboriously, the three of
them carried debris from the edge of
the quarry and bricks from the ruined
house; they scraped up armfuls of
leaves and trash-anything, In fact,
which would serve to raise the bottom
OF the shaft and conceal the entrance
to their enemy's resting place. 1t was
slavish work, but O'Reilly kept them
at 1t until they were ready to drop.

They were weak, sick, deadly tired;
they could barely shuttle a few yards
Mt time when they finally reached
Asensio's hut; nevertheless there was
hope in their hearts, for O'Rellly's rag
ged clothes sagged with the weight Of
gold pieces and the little metal box he
carried was heavy. Nor were they
greatly concerned about the safety of
the treasure they had left behind, for
the entrance to the cavern lay deeply
buried, and Cobo, the guerrilla, stood
guard over the chests Of plate and the
casks Of coin.

sight of the coin which was forced into

When Rosa Varona regained con-
sciousness sufficiently to understand
what had happened she proved herself
a person Of no little self-control. It
was she, in fact, who first voiced the
fear that Cobo dead was scarcely less
q menace than Cobo alive.
