CHAPTER TX.
Marauders.


The surprise was easily effected,
for Colonel Cobos men were accom-
,plished in this sort CT work. Rosa,
crouching upon her bench, heard
nothing, saw nothing, until out of the
shadows beside her human forms ma
'terialized. She screamed once,
twice; then a palm closed over her
mouth and she began to struggle like
q 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 n animal IN its lair. Then some
one set fire to the thatch; the flames
licked up the dead palm leaves to
the ridgepole, and the surroundings
leaped into view.
Rosa saw 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 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? 1
I hut ho Of that
common Wench."
Evangelina's cries of rage and de-
fiance 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 EyangeIina 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, come" he was saying.
"Where is your precious brother and

cit seems we missed them" said
Cueto.
"More of your bungling," Cobo
broke out at him, wrathfully. Fool
I've a mind to toss you into that fire."
He turned his attention once more
to Rosa, and with a jerk that shook
her into fuller consciousness repeat
ed: "Where are they? Speak to me-"
"Gone!" she gasped. Gone" She
struggled weakly toward Cueto, i'm
ploring him, "Pancho, don't you know
me?"
"Well, we've taught him a lesson"
said Cueto, grinning apprehensively
at CObo. "We've accomplished some

personalities play upon US, advised US,
scolded, bored, cajoled. Undoubtedly,
the sum of their influence went to
make US different from what we
should have been without it; yet often
the last thing we remember about
them is the facts they taught us. The

nue. bordered with trees, the stranger
hurried; then he sWerved to his left,
and when O'Reilly came to the point
where he had disappeared there was
nobody in sight. Apprehending that
he had made some mistake in the sig
nal, O'Reilly fastened down the walk.
Then at last, to his great relief, he
heard sibilant:
"Psst! Psst!"
It came from behind a screen of
shrubbery, and there he found the Gu
ban waiting. The latter began rap
idly:
"Our plans are complete. Listen
closely. One week from today, at ten
o'clock in the morning, you must be
in Manin's drug store. Directly across
the street you will see two negroes
with three horses. At fifteen minutes
past ten walk out San Rafael street to
the edge Of the city, where the hos
pital stands. The negroes will follow
you. There Is fort near by"

challenged if you pass it, so turn in
at the hospital. But do not enter the
gates, for the negroes will overtake
you at that point. They will stop to
adjust the saron of the lead horse
That will be your signal; mount him
and ride fast. Now, adios and good
luck"
With a smile and a quick grip of the
hand the messenger walked swiftly
away. O'Reilly returned to his hotel
At last! One week, and this numb
ing, heartbreaking delay would end;
he would be free to take up his quest.
But those seven days were more than
a week; they were seven eternities.
The hours were like lead; O'Reilly
could compose his mind to nothing; he
was in a fever Of impotence.
The day of days dawned at last, and
Johnnie was early at Manin's soda
fountain, drinking insipid beverages
and anxiously watching the street. In
due time the negroes appeared, their

Dogs Death Led to Suicide.

Mrs. Margaret Dugdale, wife of
Norman Dugdale, J. P, of Dutton
Manor, near Blackburn, was found
dead with bullet wound in her fore
head in a field near the grave of her
favorite dog, which had been de-
stroyed on account of old age. De-
preston caused by its loss was sug-
gested at the inquest as the cause of
her suicide, says Lloyd's News, Lon
don. When found she was grasping a
humane cattle killer, at her feet was
mallet with which she had dis
charged the weapon. and a loaded re-
volver was In a basket near her. She
had fixed a mirror to the fence, and
a note pinned to her dress gave direc-
tons for the disposal of her body.
Mr.. Dugdale said he thought the dogs
death, which his wife had taken great
ly to heart, was the cause of the
tragedy, and the jury's verdict was
that Mrs. Dugdale shot herself while
of unsound mind.

O'ReiIIy's Plans Fail.

OheiilyS FIdnS r dill.
In the days that followed his call on
Ignacio Alvarado, O'Reilly behaved so
openly that the secret service agent
detailed to watch him relaxed his vigil
lance. Manifestly this O'Reilly was
harmless person. But the spy did
not guess how frantic Johnnie was be-
coming at the delay, how he inwardly
chafed and fretted when two weeks
had rolled by and still no signal had
come. Then, too, his money was run
ming low.
AT last, however, the day arrived
when the man with the gray necktie
raised his hat and wiped his brow as
he passed the Isla de Cuba. Johnnie
could scarcely hold himself in his
chair. By and by he rose, stretching
himself, and sauntered after the fell
low. For several blocks he kept him
In sight, but without receiving any
further sign.
Without glance over his shoulder
the man turned into large, walled in
closure. When Johnnie followed he
found himself in one of the old Gene

WILSON'S PARTY
PLEAS RIDDLED
BY ROOSEVELT
President Urges Defeat of
Those Who Support War,
I. r. Points Out

New York, Oct. %. - Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt declared in an
address here last night that it was
the veriest nonsense that even par
tisanship can conceive" to state that
failure to return a Democratic Con-
gress this fall would be interpreted
by the Allies and Germany "as being
reputation of the war aims of
this country"
Speaking before the Republican
Club at Carnegie Hall to urge the
success of the Republican state ticket
here in New York and of the Re-
publican Congressional ticket
throughout the Union" the former
; President asserted that what we
need is an American Congress, a
Congress of straight-out Americans,
and not Congress of rubber
stamps"
I'VE Republicans pledge ourselves
to stand by the President so long as
he stands by the American people,
and TO part company from him at
any point where, in our judgment, he
does not stand by the people," he
! said. This is the peoples govern
ment; this is the peoples war, and
| the peace that follows shall be the
| peoples peace"
Quoting a press dispatch to the
! effect that Republican Senators, such
as McCumber, Nelson and Lodge,

ARE as highly thought of in France
to-day as are the American gen.
erals Colonel Roosevelt declared
that nine times out of ten this ad-
ministration has never led the peo-
pie, has been reluctantly forced
forward into action by criticism
against what it has violently pro-
tested" and has sullenly and some
times malfciously sought to punish
the men who by their truth telling
have forced it into action"
I'm a word" the Colonel said, "the
Democratic party, under the lead of
the administration, has carried parti-
san politics during the past eighteen
months to an extreme never before
known in this country in a time of
war as among loyal upholders of the
war" 1t has come dangerously near
creating a condition of one-party-
ism" he added.
Calls Test Purely Political
The test insisted upon has been,
not loyalty to our Allies and hos
tilities to Germany, but adherence
to the administration" he declared,
adding that President Wilson's re-
quest of October IA that citizens
should subscribe to the loan. but
leave to the government of the
| United States and of the Allies the
momentous discussion initiated by
Germany" could be interpreted as
meaning that they should both put
up and shut up"
Colonel Roosevelt asserted that "if
| the administration had used with
moderate efficiency the results of
! lavish generosity of Congress, our
] armies and the Allied armies would
have been doing last March what
! they are actually doing now in Octo-
! ber."
After asserting that this war must
! be put through Ito our last man and
! our last dollar" the Colonel declared
/ that we should accept no peace not
based on the unconditional surren-
| der of Germany and her vassal
! states"
He asserted that the Presidents
latest notes had placed him in such
position that he had either to
sacrifice America and humanity"
or to respond in such a manner as
TO stultify his own diplomacy and
repudiate his own implied offer"
'It was not a pleasant thing for
America that he should have put
himself and the nation behind him
in the position of inviting a PROPOSE
ton which, when accepted, he re-
pudiated," declared the Colonel. For
the very reason that 1 abhor Ger
many's trickery. treachery, and bad
faith, 1 am most anxious that Amer
leans shall not initiate her in these
matters"
Asserting that peace would be set
tied, not by the President alone, but
by the President acting in conjunc-
tion with two-thirds of the Senate,
the Colonel continued:
When it comes to the peace nego-
tiations, we should emphatically re-
pudiate the famous fourteen points
announced by the President last
January. One of them he has HIM
self repudiated, and the remainder
are either so mischievous that they
ought to be repudiated without fur
ther definition, or else we should
insist on having them defined in or
der to know exactly what they mean.
They have been greeted with en-
thusiasm by Germany and by all
pro-Germans on this side of the wa
ter. especially by the Gerr1anized So
cialists, and by the Bolsheviki of
every grade. and for this reason good
Americans should regard them with
suspicion"
