property. You will accuse me of hav-

times are fortunately turbulent along
the border. and what has happened
may so easily be laid at the door
of the poor devils of insurrectos. You
can create suspicion. you can make
trouble. But then there is the viii,
properly drawn and witnessed, and
there is something else!"
"And that?" euriously, wondering
how far Tore would go in showing
his hand.
"There will be other witnesses of
whom you do not guess yet-witnesses
carefully selected, who will not be
shaken in a point they make. And
they viii swear that Senior de la
Guerra became very angry with his
granddaughter upon the very day of
his disappearance that he quarreled
openly with her; that he vowed he
would disinherit her, and that he sent
Immediately for his lawyer to make

to be the cause of the quarrelT
"Well?" asked Stairway.

them; that she defied De la Guerra,

"Why" gasped the rancher. Its

deepened upon Torres handsome face.
"But let us think not of the legal
morality of it but of the effect upon

"WhO then will appear in the light

busy over a new cigarette, "if the

Stanway's mouth hardened.
He saw that if Tore had made one
mistake-if Dempton were in reality

the young Spaniard had planned pains
takingly elsewhere.

He turned away with 9 short, ugly

that he was risking too much; that he

Torres voice which told him that the

ATS PERJURY!"

Svnopsis-Senor Antonio de la
c,lerra. a fine old Spaniard living
an his ancestral estate on the
American side of the Mexican bor-
der, is informed by his American
LAWYER, Dempton, that there is a
technical error in his will. He
tbereupon signs a new will, without
reading it. In the meantime his
adorable granddaughter and heir
ass. Senorita Teresa, is out on her
rcse-covered balcony. listening to
American love-making from Billy
stairway, owner of the Painted
Rock ranch. Teresa, going to join
her grandfather, finds him gone,
with the drawing room in disorder
and blood on the floor. The Amer
lean takes command of the situa-
ton. Senior Eduardo Ramon Tore,
a hated kinsman of the De la
p1erras, arrives. Stairway and the
he la Guerra ranch hands return
from vain pursuit of the bandits.
The new will disinherits Teresa and
makes Tore sole heir. Captain
Juarez. nominally representing the
bandits. appears and demands S20,-
600 ransom for-De la Guerra. Tore,
as heir, tries to assume control and
demands that Teresa produce the
ransom. Stairway detains Tore
and Juarez and his men kidnap
Dempton and bring him to the
ranch. Stairway demands a confess
sion from the lawyer.

CHAPTER vln.
At Three O'clock.

~ tuICC ~ St0GRs
The questions perplexing Stairway
were these: as there a large force
of mel backing Tore and Juarez? Are
they alone IN the thingT" 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
a 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 touches 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.
81 do not anticipate an attack" STAN
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 a whole regiment of them to trou-
BILE us here tonight"
But are we doing rignt?" she whis-
| pered a little fearfully "If we gave
them the money-it is so small a part
of papa grlnde's estate-he would be
out of all danger. And as it is"
at is a bluff of Torres, pure and
simple" he told her. "If anything
should happen to Senior de la Guerra,
Tore and Juarez would not last fif-
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 a wan smile by the way of
''Buenas noches," he was not content
until he himself had seen to the watch
| fuIness of the men stationed here and
| there throughout the big house. Ard,
by the way of final precaution, he saw
| that another man slept that night at
| Pedros 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-
pieion his own parting words had given
| him, to make the night long and I'M
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.

ing which had been given over to him.

ing how alert was the spirit within
them. Tore, sitting at table idly
turning the leaves Of an illustrated
book of poems, rose quickly when
Stairway came into the room and
stepped to his side.

SINCERITY SHOWN IN LIFE
Venerable Declaration That Faith Without Works Is of No Avail
 Remains True. -;

An author tells us that sincerity Is the supreme virtue; but that sincerity is not expressed in words-only in real life. The venerable declaration that faith without works is dead is true. And one will see an illustra- tion ofrthe fact on every side every day. The fact is the world does not live what it believes. We noted in a book the other day that there would be little, if any, controversy if men said what they thought and felt This is surely true. Men differ as soon as they appeal from the spirit to the intellect. This Is because the spirit deals with the fundamentals and the intellect with the details. Sincerity beltng to the former. It Is more than an opinion. It is bigger than a stand point. It is where sincerity gets it's Influence, which is the still, small voice that comes out of the whfrlwind that roars around every mans life. But we should remember that sin cerity is not concoction, but vir- tue, as real as a mothers love- They tue. as real as mothers love. And don't mistake sincerity for consis- tency. They may be acquainted, but they are not related.-Ohio State Journal.
