the breathing Of the horses and the
creak Of saddle feathers as the riders
craned their necks to see over the low

cried:
Come! Tm-afraid it's our
house" Fear gripped him, but he
managed to say, calmly, perhaps
there has been an-accident."
Asensio, muttering excitedly, was
trying to crowd past him; for a few
yards the two horses brushed along
side by side. The distant point Of
light had become a glare now; it
winked balefully through the OPEN

But it was still a long way off, and
the eastern sky had grown rosy be-

the low ground.

distended yellow eyes, Of fiat, distort-
ed features; then Asensio was fairly
upon Colonel Cobo. The colonel, who
had dropped his burden, o tried to
dodge. Asensio slashed once at him
with his long, murderous: machete,
but the next instant he was engaged
with a trooper who had fired almost
in his face.
Cobo's men, led by the terrified PAN
cho Cueto, turned and fled for cover,
believing themselves in danger of an
Initiation. Nor was the colonel him
self in any condition to rally them,
for Asensio's blade had cloven one
full dark cheek to the bone, and the
shock and pain had unnerved him.
The field vas small, the jungle was
close at hand. A moment and the in
terlopers had vanished into it, all but
one, who lay kicking among the broad
malanga leaves, and over whom Assem-
sio kept squirting his terrified horse,
hacking downward with insane fury.
This was the first h%and-to-hand en-
counter Esteban's men had had, and
their swift victory rendered them fero-
cious. Flinging their guns aside, they
went crashing into the brush on the
trail of their enemies.
Rosa found herself in her brothers
arms, sobbing out the story Of the out
rage and quivering at every sound Of
the chase. he was caressing her, and
telling her to have no further fears ;
both of them were fairly hysterical.
Evangelina, thanks to her thick skull,
was not dead. In the course Of time
under Rosa's and Esteban's ministra-
tons she regained her senses, and
when the other men returned they
found her lying sick and dazed, but
otherwise quite whole.
Then, there beside the ruins of the
hut, was a strange scene Of rejoicing.
Asenslo recovered now from his burst
Of savagery, was fearful, compassion
ate; his comrades laughed and chat
tered and Dragged about their prodig-
lous deeds Of valor. Over and over
they recounted their versions of the
encounter, each nor fanciful than the
other, until 1t seemed that they must
have left the forest filled with corpses.
Esteban was grave. He had heard

shadows beside her human forms ma.
terialized. She screamed once,
twice; then a palm closed over her
mouth and she began to struggle like
a cat.
Evangelina, who had walked at the
first cutlery, met the marauders as
they rushed through the door. There
were shouts and curses, loudly bel.
lowed orders, a great scuffling and
pounding Of feet upon the dirt floor
of the hut, the rickety, bark-covered
walls bulged and creaked. Over all
sounded the shrieks of the negress
battling in the pitch-black interior
like an animal in it's lair. Then ONE
n set fire to the thatch; the flames
licked up the dead palm leaves to
the ridgepole, and the surroundings
leaped into view.
Rosa saw a swarthy, thickset, man
in the uniform of a colonel of vol
unteers, and behind him Pancho Cue
to. Tearing the hand from her lips
for a moment, she cried Cueto's
name, but he gave no heed. Rosa
shrieked his name again; then she
heard the officer say:
"Where is the young fellow? I
hear nothing but the sQueals of that
common wench."
Evangelina's cries Of rage and de-
fance ceased, and with them the
sounds Of combat. From the blazing
bohio ran two armed men, brushing
sparks from their clothing. A third
followed, dragging Evangelina by one
naked arm.
Rosa felt herself swooning, and she
knew nothing Of what Immediately
followed. After a time she felt her.
self shaken, and heard the colonel adj
dressing her.
"Come, comet" he was saying.
"Where is your precious brother and
that black fellow?"
Rosa could only stare DULY.

Cueto.
"More of your bunGling," Cobo
broke out at him, w%rathfully. "Fooll
