She nodded her flashing eyes bent
In admiration upon the CORY grimy

she knew the outcast for one of her

in his fathers old room tonight" she
murmured softly. "And I would sleen
in mine"
They followed Don Juan down the
gangway to rhe launch and sped back
TO the city. The door of Leber's ware
house stood wide open; within was u
litter Of greasy rags and broken
packing cases, with Leber quite mys-
tilted, sitting on a keg of nails and
staring curiously at IL all.
Guided by Don Juan Cafetero, Web

Gale San Rosario. Occasionally n

west, droned azily overhead or
dropped with sharp metallic sound
on the corruguted-iron roofs Of. a

alone was in evidence. seated behind
the desk smoking in profound indif
ference.
In response TO Webster's eager in
front. the placid fellow shrugged and
murmured: "Quien sabey' Evidently
for him such stirring scenes had long
since lost their novelty; fhe bloom
was of the peach. as 1t were.
Webster went upstairs and helped
himself to another automatic and sew
cral spare clips of shells which he
had left in his trunk. On his return

very nearsighted person. indeed. would
have seen--to wit: that he was not
pleased to remain in the hotel and
with the spirit OF adventure strong
within him was DESTROYS of progress
ing still farther toward the firing, in
the hope of eiciting some favorable
news as to the progress of the fight.
She realized however. that he would
do his duty and remain with her in
the horel: so she said gayly:

could desire. and IL warfare should

slightest risk" he began. but she
pooh-poohed him into silence. took
him by the arm with a great air of
camaraderie. and declared they should
go forth to adventure-but cautiously.
Webster glanced at Don Juan. I'VE

AT the slightest danger wen turn

Don Juan Cafetero scouting the way
block in advance they progressed

Soon they passed a horse dead In
the middle of the street; a little far
Their on one of the machine-gun
company. lank Texan. sat on
the curb rolling cigarette with his
left hand. He had a bullet through
his right shoulder and another through
the calf of his leg and had received no
first aid attention; the flies were both
ering him considerably and he was
cursing softly and fiuently, like the ex-
mule-skinner he was.
Farther on another white invader
lay face down in the gutter; for him
the fight had ended almost ere II had
begun. In the next block half doz-
en- sandal-footed Sobranteans in the
blue and red-trimmed uniform of the
Guardia Civil, lay sprawled in uncouth
attitudes. where the first blast of q
machine gun had caught them as they
rushed out of the police station to re-
pei the advancing mercenaries.
Seeing that the main street of the
city would assume even a more grisly
aspect the longer they followed 1t, Don
Juan led Webster and Dolores cou-
pie of blocks down q cross street and
turned out into the Gale de Herman
DEE. parallel to the Gale San Rosario.
There had been no shooting in this
street. apparently; as they proceeded
not even a stray bullet whined down
the silent Gale.
Four blocks from the government
palace they found the narrow side
walks of this quiet street lined with
wounded from both Sides with q doc
tor and half dozen of Ricardo's hired
fighters ministering to them; as they
threaded their way between the recum-
bent figures they came upon Mother
jerks. brandy bottle and glass In hand.
