He ran to the window. The curtain

him that the vaqueros had risen to
Pedro's clamorous call.
Then he spoke to them all. swiftly.
with rising emphasis, calling upon
them by name, addressing them In
mixed Spanish and English, taking the
word which cnme first to him that
they would grasp.
"Gaucho," he called as a very tall,

A laugh floated out and down 10
him, rose fell. striking against his
cheek, there was the giimmer and flut-
ter Of mantilla among the vines. and
the girl had stepped back through the
window, closing 1t behind her.
She stood a moment, hesitant, her
cheek little pale. Then the thought
that even now Stairway was on his
way around the great house to the
patio drove her in haste first to her
mirror and the rearranging Of her hair
the rose vine had disturbed, then to a
quick descent OF the broad stairway
to the main floor.
The utter stiffness Of the drawing
room smote her as she entered. The
candles were like shimmering ghosts
De la Guerra was not In the room.
Immediately she was dimly con-
scious Of an unreasonable sense OF un-
easiness, even before she had the
vaguest reason for It,
And then the reason asserted itself.
A chair laid overthrown, little way
from the chair q rug was crumpled
and thrown back, the ink bottle which
had been upon the table lay upon the
floor.
AS her eyes say, her brain under
stood.
And as she stared, before her voice
had found its way to her lips. she
heard q sharp knocking at the front
door.
She ran to it swiftly, threw 1t wide
and whispered fearfully:

and did not heed, but there was anger
in his voice. l came down and-look,
he is gone! There was struggle

the ink spilled there!"
Stairway left her side, striding alb
ruptly to where the bottle lay.
There was dark smear on the car
pet near it. He leaned over it, stoep-
ing. seeing the candles reflected from
the dark surface.
And his face, too, was very white
as he Strengthened up, drawing deep
breath between his teeth.
