"Good night, Mr.. de la Guerra"
"BuenaS nOcheS. senior"

Good night. Mr.. de la Guerra"
"Buenas noches, senor."
And Lawyer Dempton, his horses
name and tail flying, was on his way
through the moonlight night, and the
old man, leaving Pedro to close the
door after him, had gone back to his
chair and wine and cigarettes.
''Los Americanos," he muttered when
he was alone again, ''they are all alike.
You cannot trust them. That Demp-
ton has the eyes of a rat, the face of
a liar, the manner Of convict. Amer
icanos on the one hand, Mexicanos on
the other! Sangre de Dios! I must
take Teresita away from them. Pedro ~
Isl, senor."
''Where is the senorita?"
''1n her rooms, think, senor."
'Bueno. Convey to her my affec-
tionate compliments, and tell her that
I shall be for the half-hour adding a
certain note to my American memoirs.
After that shall be pleased If she
will come to me.".
Isl, senor." Swift and silent, Pedro
went upon his errand.
Senior don Antonio de Ia Guerra,
pushing the will to one side, drew q
thick manuscript from the table
drawer, and, writing in a fine, schol-
arly hand, began to add certain highly
insulting commentaries to the chapter
dealing with the vitriOlic description
of the character of Los Americanos."
(The book he planned to print in
Spain.)
Meantime the SenOrita Teresa de Ia
Guerra, his demure granddaughter,
was not in her room but upon her
little rOse-twined balcony, and the
moonlight, bright about her, was not
more bright than the laughing eyes
she turned downward toward the ador~
ing face Of an Americano!

CHAPTER u.
Abduction.


The hacienda where Antonio de Ia
Guerra had lived for the f1fty-Odd
years Of his exile from his beloved
Spain, where his granddaughter had
been born and reared, WIZ! Ole Of the
landmarks which. linger IN in stately
white walls under dark red tiles from
the time of the Spanish occupation.
The old Spaniard was overload of
what had once been a grant from his
grandfather's king, the boundaries
carelessly marked in leagues instead
of miles.
He bred cattle and fine horses, in
trusted Gaucho Morales, his foreman
with the business details, and yet man.
aged, so large and fertile was his en-
pire, to go on from year to year swell
ing his wealth.
The wide-verandaed house with none
Of it's walls less than three feet thick
with great, spacious rooms, spread
out across a wide extent of the shaded
land among the olive and pear and
pepper trees. In the time of the IA
Their of Antonio de la Guerra there
had been fourteen rooms-now there
were twenty. No less could suffice
for the master of the estate and his
cherished granddaughter.
There was the patio with it's flower
ing garden and leaping fountain.
About it were the rooms, all on the
ground floor with the exception of the
three rooms added by the old man for
the use of Ia senorita.
Here at the southeastern exposure
Of the rambling dwelling, a wide and
winding staircase had been constructed
to lead upward to a spacious landing.
Then came broad doors, a deep win
dow, and beyond the senorita's private
sitting room. Her bedroom was high
ceiled, with much ornate embellish-
ment after the Moorish fashion, and
a lavish display Of gilt UNDER the
domed roof.
Upon the landing a couch where
each night Pedro lay across his mis-
tress' doorway.
And then the balcony.
Teresa must pick up her skirts dain"
tily to step out through the deep win
doWs to it from her bedroom, and
once there she was all but lost behind
the bank of Towering roses, swallowed
by dim dusk through which the moon
had difficulty in filtering, Tapped in
the perfume of the flowers which chung
about the balcony in the warm June
night.
And from here, while her scholarly
grandfather annotated his remarks
concerning the hated Americana, Te-
resa leaned cut, her beauty as soft and
delicate a thing as that of the rose
brushing her cheek, and talked with
one particular Americana.

retreated to the door which gave pas
sageway through the three-foOt adobe
walls from the drawing room 10 the
patio.
De la Guerra looked at him with a
curious smile.
"You are incomprehensible, you
Americanos," he said softly. ''You will
insist on riding dozen miles through
the dark when there is a warm bed
and bright candle light inviting you
to stay. Your business must be ur-
gent, Mr.. Dempton, to take you out
tonight-alone. Your ride is not with
out danger, and"
He put his hand again to the bell
cord.
Eat least, if you insist, you must
allow me to send some of my va

"No, mol" cried Dempton, already at
the door. 'It is unnecessary, Mr.. de
la Guerra. There is no danger"
GAS you will" Senior don Antonio
spread out his white hands and lifted
his shoulders slightly. "But you must
remember that we are only half mile
from the border, and that those ras-
cally Mexicans are a thieving, treach-
erous lot.

Again he spread out his hands and
lifted his shoulders.
Gin the daylight it is one thing
after dark it is another. I should be
glad to send some of my vaqueros with
you, senor."
Still Dempton protested. There was
a moon, his way ran across wide
open level land, and the rebels were
not looking for complications with
Uncle Sam.
De Ia Guerra, too courteous host
to insist, smiled gravely, rose and went
into the patio with the lawyer, direct
ing Pedro to have Mr.. Dempton's horse
brought up from the stables.
"Miss Teresa, did not see her, -
Dempton remembered to say from the
saddle. "She is well, hopper"
