Stairway. rushing up the stairs. his
revolver in his hand. bestowed only
one look upon the unconscious Pedro

room.
The door was locked. He called.
There was no answer. Everything
was perfectly still. He knocked at
the door loudly. calling again. And
now. when silence answered him. a
great fury swept through him. his
brain seemed to be on fire, his voice
seemed to him to come from a great
distance as he shouted for an ak.
The ak came. but he had not waited
for 1t. A heavy chair had splintered
against the oak panels, but the panels
themselves were no obstacle to the
fury Of his attack. They burst at
last. his hand found the key in the
lock upon the other side of the door.

Nothing, nothing but emptiness and
wild disorder which told, had lie

That cry of hers had bespoken q

And Teresa was gone with nothing
behind to show whittier.
Stairway ran through all the rooms
of her dainty suite, calling. Silence
and emptiness were his answers. He
threw open the windows to her bal
cOny.
Horses" he shouted. "Gaucho,
run to the stables. They are taking
her across the border"
The vaquero. too, heard the thud
of running hoofs out there In the
darkness beyond the oranges, under
stood, and sped upon his errand.
Here is poor CelestIna, senor," said
Esteban. He was kneellng on the
little landing a few PAGES removed
from the spot where Pedro lay. I
think that he is dead. They have
struck him on the head. Jesus Ma
ria but 1t is a nasty blow, and from
behind"
Stairway scarcely heard the man.
He was looking for a ladder. seeking
to see how Teresa had been carried
from the house.
There was nothing.
He thought that there had been
many men here; that man below
had caught the girl in his arms as
she was dropped down to him; he
shuddered at the thought, and once
more was running. now down the
stairs, which he took almost at a
bound. through the dim corridors. and
toward the drawing room.
"The senoritaT' several voices were
clamoring at him. "Have they
harmed herr Blood of the Savior.
have they dared lay hand upon herr"
"She is gone" he answered crisply.
"Listen, companeros. This is the
work of Tore yonder. You know that.
But you must not harm him-yeti
There is time. See that he does not
escape. If he does not bring the Sc
norita back to us safe, unharmed-
then we shall know what to do. shall
we not, cOmpaneros?'
They answered him by silence and
the quick turning of black, fierce eyes
upon the man who had this second
thing to answer to them for. Tore
summoned his old bravado and the
smile which went with 1t.
Tore did not speak. but. turning
away. made a cigarette. Captain Ju-
arez, seemingly Just awakened. threw
his blanket aside and sat up on his
couch, his eyes rowing from face to
face, coming to rest at last upon Tor
res as though he were awaiting a
leaders move. His eyes were as
grave as Torres, his sense Of crisis
as clear.

Looking over the newest things in
clude that fair bathers object to get
ting wet and only go into the water to
get cool. or to be "in the swim" with
their sister bnthers. What they really
object to (unless they possess Venus
de Medlcl figures) is the way In which
bathing togs cling and stick and the
somewhat bedraggled appearance they
are likely to make when they come
out of the water. Nothing escapes the
notice of the keen manufacturers of
bathing togs and they have met this
situation with suits on the order of
that one shown In the picture.
Rubberized silk In rose color is used
to make the shapely and modest over
dress in this suit and 1t is trimmed
with black and white checkerboard
bands that give 1t lot of snap. The
long-waisted body is gathered Into n
wide fiat band with the fullness
brought to the sides and the skirt is
managed in the same way, so that even
bathing suits take note of the wider
hips that are indicated In styles for
fall.
The knickers for this suit are made
of black satin and vestee of the
same material in the overdress bears

shuttered window-"now something

Suddenly his hand shot out and

into many pieces. tinkling upon the
carpet. Torre put his face to the
opening he had 30 rudely made and
called out sharply, aloud:

"Jerk him back from the window"
While he was speaking he had
struck one of the candlesticks from
the table; Gaucho had understood
and had put out the other lights. The
room sank into swift, impenetrable
darkness.
Three of the cowboys had thrown
themselves upon Tore, dragging him
back. holding his arms pinioned at
his sides. Stairway, with no minute
lost. threw open the shutters. raised
the window and peered out into the
night.
1t was very still. He could see
little enough. but his straining eyes
ran back and forth along the wall Of
the house and were certain that there
were no lurking forms there. His
ears told him of the heavy breathing
of the men behind him, but brought
him no sound of men without.

Stairway closed the window and the
shutters. calling to Gaucho for a
light. The flicker of the match
showed him Tore in the grip Of the
three men. his face looking a little
pale. his eyes very bright.
"If we are attacked" cried the
rancher sharply. cit is Tore who has
given the signal. Remember he is
not to go free"

And then came the thing he had not

1t was scream-a woman's

sudden silence, telling of sudden, rude
awakening. Of blind, gripping terror.

Gated in communities over the va
