That afternoon the rosy-hued clouds drew
nearer, heightened, took on fantastic and in
credible mountain shapes, developed substance,

bow of the Rough Rider, saw the city of Ma

When the Rough Rider slipped around the
Capo headland and entered the harbor it be-
came evident that all was not we'll in Magella.
The sound of rifle fire was distinctly audible
sharp and dry a stick drawn along a
picket fence. Now and again puff of white
smoke blossomed in the hills, and those on
board the Rough Rider heard the dull explo-
sion Of big guns.
Rita became aware of a faint singing above
her head. She heard some one shouting:
"Out of the way! They're firing at us!'

trunks to the Rough Rider, and for number
of days were bumped, rolled, pitched and
kicked down steaming sea toward Magella.
The Rough Rider was dirty. She was top
heavy. Her narrow decks were exposed to
the witherng attentions Of an ardent sun that
popped out of the ocean before night was
decently finished and stayed in the heavens
until the stars came out. There was no shade
anywhere during those burning, intolerabe
days. Rita lay in her stuffy cabin and famed
herself and thought of New York-New York

The Fairchild mines lay behind the city Of
Magella in the cindery heart of the Santa

son, armed with Yankee faith in the irwin

building the railway, but had kept the oppos-

propped and reinforced by American dollars,
favored the Fairchild Company. The Nation
alists, opposed by nature to law and order
bit around the edges of the peaceful admin
lstration looking for an easy way in.
The Royalst forces were very we'll drilled;
when marching in holiday parades they flashed
and glittered and maneuvered with all the
spectacular elegance of West Point cadets on
review. But old man Fairchild's son-popt,-
larly called Signor Pug-knew that a pretty
uniform doesn't make soldier.
