CHAPTER VIII.
At Three O'clock.

The questions perplexing Stairway
were these: 'Is there large force
of men backing Tore and Juarez? Are
they alone in the thing?" And there
was only one way to answer them.
As the afternoon slipped by and
dusk came down upon them, sweet and
warm, through the groves of orange
and olive trees, Teresa sent word to
the mems quarters for all, excepting
half dozen Of them, to come to the
house.
Those not coming in were to remain
on guard over the corrals into which
the saddle-horses had been herded, and
to serve as sentinels along the bor-
der. The guard over Tore and Juarez
was doubled; the two men were dis
armed and assigned to couches upon
the opposite side of the drawing-room.
Doors were fastened, windows
locked, shutters drawn, and the haci.
enda was like an old fortress in time
of siege.

way smiled into Teresa's grave face.
Surely the insurgents are not looking
for complications with this country.
But we are taking no chances. 1t would
take whole regiment of them to trou-
BILE us here tonight"
"But are we doing right?" she whis-
pered little fearfully. eff we gave
them the money-it is so small a part
of papa grande's estate-he would be
out Of all danger. And as it is"
ut is a bluff Of Torres, pure and
simple" he told her. eff anything
should happen to Senor de la Guerra,
Tore and Juarez would not last ff.
teen minutes with your little army of
retainers, senorita. They talk big,
both of them, but am not afraid"
But when she had given him her
hand and wan smile by the way of
"Buenas nOches," he was not content
until he himself had seen to the watch
fulness of the men stationed here and
there throughout the big house. And,
by the way Of final precaution, he saw
that another man slept that night at
Pedro's side, in front of the senorita's
door. and that both men were armed.
He had not again gone to where
Dempton fumed and worried in the II.
brary. 1t was his thought to leave the
lawyer to chew upon the cud of sus-
picion his own parting words had given
him, to make the night long and un-
eventful for him, so that his trembling
little soul might have time for thought.
1t was late when Teresa needed his
urging and went to her room. He left
her at the foot of the Stairs leading up
to her chambers; saw Pedro preparing
to spend the night at her doorway, and
then went to his own room, decided to
sleep until the stiller hours of the
night came; then to superintend In
person the watch which was being
kept throughout the house.
On his way to the wing of the build
ing which had been given over to him,
he passed through the drawing-room
for the last time.
Juarez seemed to be asleep upon his
couch. Half dozen of Gauchos va.
queros, all armed, were scattered
about the room. their quick eyes show
ing how alert was the spirit within
them. Tore, sitting at a table idly
turning the leaves of an illustrated
book Of poems, rose quickly when
Stairway came into the room and
stepped to his side.

CHICAGO, Nov. 3.-As a result of
the startling upsets Saturday in the
race for the Western Conference foot
ball championship, Ohio State is the
only indicated eleven remaining in
the spectacular struggle. If the up

Before Saturdays games few shrewd

would triumph over Wisconsin. Still,
the Illini and Gophers displayed a
brilliant brand of football that was
totally unexpected. Illinois 1O-to0 vic

Coach Zuppke's perfection of the close
