for the flies to punish. They will re.
mind him of his insolence."
Then the guests departed, and Este
ban staggered into the house and went
to bed.
All that morning Sebastian stood
with his hands chained high over his
head. The sun grew hotter and ever
hotter upon his lacerated back; the
blood dried and clotted there; cloud
of flies gathered, swarming over the
raw gashes left by Cueto's whip.
Since Don Esteban's nerves, or per-
haps it was his conscience, did not
permit him to sleep, he arose about
noontime and dressed himself. He was
still drunk, and the mad rage of the
early morning still possessed him;
therefore, when he mounted his horse
he pretended not to see the figure
chained to the window grating. Sebas-
tian'S affection for his master was dog
like and he had taken his punishment
as a dog takes his, more in surprise
than in anger, but at this proof of cal
old fellows breast, hotter by far than
the fever from his fly-blown sores. He
was thirsty, too, but that was the least
of his sufferings.
Some time during the afternoon the
negro heard himself addressed through
the window against the bars of which
he leaned. The speaker was Donna
Isabel.
"Do you suffer, Sebastian?" she be-
gan in tone of gentleness and pity.
eyes, Mistress" The speakers
tongue was thick and swollen.
"Can help you?'
The negro raised his head; he shook
his body to rid himself of the insects
which were devouring him.
"Give me drink of water" he said,
hoarsely.
''Surely, a great gourdful, all cool
and dripping from the well. But first l
want you to tell me something"
ga drink, for the love of heaven"
painted the old man, and Donna Isabel
saw how cracked and dry were his
thick lips, how near the torture had
come to prostrating him.
"I'll do MORE" she promised, and her
voice was like honey. ''I'll tell Pancho
Cueto to unlock you, even if risk Es-
TEXANS anger by so doing. VIII you be
my friend? VIII you tell me some
thing?"
"What can I tell yOu?"
"Oh, you know very well I've asked
it often enough, but you have lied, just
as my husband has lied to me. He is a
miser; he has no heart; he cares for
nobody, as you can see. You must
hate him now, even as hate him. Tell

Silence, ordered Esteban. go
about your business. What do you
mean by this, anyhow"
But Sebastian. daZed of mind and
sick of soul, went on, unneeding. "She
is my girl. You promised me her free
dom. [ warn you"
"Eh?" The planter sWayed forward
and with blazing eyes surveyed his
slave. "You warn me? Of what?" he
grOWled.
AT this moment neither master nor
man knew exactly what he said or did.
Sebastian raised his hand on high. In
reality the gesture was meant to call
heaven as a witness to his years of
faithful service, but, misconstruing his
intent, Pablo Pea brought his riding
whip down across the old mans back,
crying:
"Ho! None of that"
A Shudder ran through Sebastian's
frame. Whirling, he seized Don Pab-
los wrist end tore the whip from his
fingers. Although the Spaniard was a
strong man, he uttered cry of pain.
At this indignity to guest Esteban
flew into fury. "Pancho!'' he cried.
"Ho! Panchow When the manager
came running, Esteban explained:
"This fool is dangerous. He raised his
hand to me and to Don Pablo.'
Sebastian's protests were drowned
by the angry voices of the others.
site him to yonder grating" di-
rected Esteban, who was still in the
grip of a senseless rage. "Flog him
well and make haste about it,
Sebastian, who had no time in which
to recover himself, made but q weak
resistance when Pancho Cueto locked
his wrists into a pair of clumsy, oldz
fashioned manacles, first passing the
chain around one of the bars of the
iron window grating which Esteban
had indicated.
Cueto swung heavy lash; the
sound of his blows echoed through the
quinta, and they summoned, among
others, Donna Isabel, who watched
the scene from behind her shutter with
much satisfaction. The guests looked
on approvingly.
Sebastian made no cutlery. The whip
bit deep; it drew blood and raised
welts the thickness of ones thumb !;
nevertheless, for the first few moments
the victim suffered less in body than in
spirit. His brain was so benumbed, so
shocked with other excitations, that
he was well-nigh insensible to physical
pain. That Evangelina, flesh of his
flesh, had been sold, that his lifelong
faithfulness had brought such reward
as this, that Esteban, light of his SOUL
had turned against him-all this was
simply astounding. Gradually he be-
gan to resent the shrieking injustice of
it all, and unsupported forces gathered
inside of him. They grew until his
frame was shaken by primitive savage
impulses.
After a time Don Esteban cried:
'That will do, Cueto! Leave him now

his wrists encased in steel, and this
| time it was as if Don Pablo's head had
| been caught between hammer and an
anvil. The negro's strength, exceptional
at all times, was multiplied tenfold; he
| had run amuck. When he arose the
| machete was in his grasp and Don
Pablo's brains were on his knuckles.
| It all happened in far less time than
| it takes to tell. The OnlOOkerS had not
yet recovered from their first cOnster-
nation; in fact they were still fumbling
and tugp:ng at whatever weapons they
/, carried, when Sebastian came toward
| them, brandishing the blade on high.
| Pedro Miron, the advocate, was the
| third to fall. He tried to scramble out
of the negro's path, but, being an old
man, his limbs were too stiff to serve
him and he went down shrieking.
By now the horses had caught the
scent of hot blood and were plunging
| furiOusly, the clatter of their hOOfs
mingling with the blasphemieS of the
riders, while Sebastian's bestial roar
| hideOuS.
Esteban's guests fought as much for
their lives as for vengeance upon the
slayer, for Sebastian was like a gorilla
he seemed intent upon killing them all.
He vented his fury upon whatever
came within his reach; he struck at
men and animals alike and the shrieks
of wounded horses added to the din.
It was frightful combat. 1t seemed
incredible that one man could work
such dreadful havoc in so short time.
Varona and two of his friends were
dead; two more were badly wounded,
and Peruvian stallion lay kicking on
the tagging when Col. Mendoza y Lin
ares finally managed to get bullet
home in the black mans brain.
Those who came running to learn
the cause of the hubbub turned away
sick and pallid, for the paved yard was
a shambles. Pancho Cueto called upon
the slaves to help him, but they skunk
back to their quarters, dumb with ter
ror and dismay.

below came and went and the quinta
resounded to sobs and lamentations,
but of all the relatives of the dead and
wounded, Donna Isabel took her be-
reavement hardest. Strange to say,
she could not be comforted. Now, when
it was too late, she realized that she
had overreached herself, having caused
the death of the only two who knew
the secret of the treasure. She remem-
bered, also Sebastian's statement that
even the deeds Of patent for the land
were hidden with the rest, where ten
thousand men in ten thousand years
could never find them.

There was Mortified cry from the
other white men. Don Pablo Pea ran
forward, shouting. He swung his
machete, but Sebastian met him before
the blow could descend, and they went
down together upon the hard stones.
