he sighed and put the thought from
him. 1t revived in him, however, for
the first time since he had left the
steamer, a memory Of John Stuart
Webster, and his promise to the lat
ter to report on the progress Of the
war. SO Don Juan sought Doctor
Pacheco in his headquarters and
learned that a signal-man, Telegraph
ing from the roof of the arsenal, had
been in communication with General
Ruey, who reported the situation well
in hand, with no doubt Of an over
whelming victory before the day
should be over. This and sundry other
bits of information Don Juan CLEANED
and then deserted the Sobrantean rev.

he had Joined it, to make his precari-

CHAPTER XIV.

Throughout the forenoon webster
and Dolores, from the deck Of the
steamer, watched the city. BY ten
O'Clock the sounds of battle had swell
ed to a deeper, steadier roar, and
refugees arriving brought various and
fragmentary stories Of the fighting.
From this hodge-podge Of misinforma-
ton, however, Webster decided that
Ricardo's troops were forcing the IS
sue with vim and determination, and
since the most furious fighting was
now we'll in toward the heart Of the
city. 1t seemed reasonable to presume
the struggle was for possession Of the
arsenal and palace.
At noon the deep diapason Of con-
fict began to slacken; by one o'clock
1t. had dwindled considerably, and at
two O'Clock Webster. gazing anxiously
cityward, observed Lebers launch
coming rapidly out from shore. At
the wheel stood. Don Juan Cafetero;

cerned-the survivors Of the garrison
the opportunity, he. Doctor Pacheco
desired to thank Don Juan Cafetero
for his life. Don Juan looked at him
amazedly, for he hadn't the slightest
idea what the Doctor was talking
about. He spat, gazed around at the
litter Of corpses on the arsenal lawn.
and nodded his red head approyingly
In an incredibly short space of
time the news that the arsenal had
been captured and that Sarros was
besieged in the palace spread through
the city. The sight of the red ban
ner Of revolution floating over the ar
senal for the first time in fifteen years
brought hundreds Of willing recruits to
the rebel ranks, as Ricardo Ruey had
anticipated; these were quickly sup
piled with arms and ammunition; by
ten o'clock battalion had been
formed and sent off. together with the
machine gun company, to connect with
the San Bruno contingent advancing
from the south to turn the flank of
the government troops. while the
equipping of an additional battalion
proceeded within the arsenal. AS
fast as the new levies were armed,
they were hurried off to REINFORCE the
handful Of white men who had, after
clearing the arsenal, advanced on the
palace and now. with machine guns
from the arsenal commanding all ave-
nues of escape from the trap wherein
Sarros found himself. were calmly
awaiting developments, merely keeping
an eye open for snipers.
Thus the forenoon passed away. By
enc o'clock Don Juan Cafetero-who In
the absence Of close-range fighting had

slippery with . gun-grease, dripping
with perspirat1on, and filthy with dust
and dirt "Begorra," he declared, "a

Emery; Is years you've wyted for
vengeance, my love, but tud'y you'll
get it."
She wadded out into the street and
held up her hand in gesture as au-
thoritative and imperious as that of
traffic officer. "Batter-r-ry 'alt!' she
croaked. She had heard the late En-
cry give that command often enough
to have acquired the exact infection
necessary to make an impression upon
men accustomed to Obeying such a
command whenever given. Instinc-
lively the column slowed up; some of
the Foreign Legion, old coast artil-
lerists, no doubt, came to halt with
promptness and precision; all stared
at Mother jerks.
Sow about art a dozen cases O.
good brandy for the wounded?" Moth
er jerks suggested. AN low about a
bally old woman for a Red Cross
nurse"
You're on, ma'am," the foreign
leader replied promptly, and translat-
ed the old lady's suggestion to DR..
Pacheco, who accepted gracefully and
thanked Mother jerks in purest Cas-
lillian. So a detail of six men was
told off to carry the six cases Of
brandy out of Ell Buen Amigo and
load them on the ammunition carts;
then Mother jerks crawled up into
the armored truck with the machine
gun crew, and the column once more
took up it's line of rapid march.
The objective Of this unsupported
force within the city was, as Ricardo
Ruey shrewdly suspected it might be,
poorly garrisOned. Usually a force OF
fully 500 men was stationed at the
national arsenal, but the sharp. saw
age attack from the west, so sudden
and unexpected, had thrown Sarros
into panic and left him no time to
plan his defense carefully. His first
thought had been to send all his
available forces to support the troops
bearing the brunt of the rebel attack,
and 1t was tremendously important
that this should be done very prompt
ly, In view of the lack Of information
concerning the numerical force of the
enemy; consequently he had reduced
the arsenal force to 100 men and re-
tanned only his favorite troops of the
guards and one company Of the Fiji
teenth infantry to protect the palace.
Acting under hastily given tele-
phonic orders, the commanding OFF,
Ger at the cantonment barracks had
detailed few hundred men to fight q
rear-guard action while the main army
fell back In good order behind a rail-
way embankment which swept in a
wide arc around the city and offered
an excellent substitute for breast
works. This1 position had scarcely
been attained before the furious ad-
vance Of the rebels drove in the rear
guard. and pending the capture of the
arsenal, Ricardo realized his opera
lions were at an impasse Promptly
he dug himself in and the battle de-
veloped into brisk affair Of give and
take. involving meager losses to both
