Senorita!” reached in a low whisper the ears of Senorita swung lazily In the hammock on the wide verandah. “Who is it?" she asked in Spanish. “Pablo!" came in the same low whis | per. A tall negro, showing in the slightly coppery hue of the skin the mixture of | Iadian blood, stole cautiously the open space between the house and the thick bushes, and almost crawling, reached the place where his young mis- tress was, “Well, Pablo, what BCTOSS news?" demanded the young girl, “All lost, senorital All lost!” “And Don Enrique?” “Out in de bush dar, hidin’ 'n canes,’ “But why don’t he come in? does he want to stay there for?” “Indians chasin’ of him--de Canca- | nos," answered the peon gravely. “What!” “Yes, senorita, And Don Enrique he say mountains now, quick.” “What does he want?” “Want some money, an’ an’ some clothes, senorita.’ The young girl hesitated a moment, and then said, sharply: “Pablo, go to Don Enrique, and tell | him to go to the old hut down in the | swamp.

Under circumstances he might have surrendered; bul when he beard that the dreaded Indians of the great Canca Valley had been placed upon his track, he knew there was nothing to do but fly. For these men are noted in the northern part of the fact that thes never give or take quarter, They are like human bloodhounds, there one idea is to kill. Don Eprique had good rea- son to make the most of his time with the Cancanos after him. Down in the cane swamp ordinary to stood an | right sticks split from the black palm, | and lashed to cross pieces, and the roof | Here, sitting on a | log in the shadow, was Don Enrique, a | young fellow about twenty seven, while | lying on the ground was the peon, Pablo. Suddenly the Peon raised his head. “Somethin’ comin’, senor!” The two listened for a minute, and then through the only path to the hut came a large mule, saddled and bridled, followed by another one, upon which was the senor.ta Don Enrique had the girl in his arms almost before the animal stopped moving, and the whispered words of endearment, the rapturous kisses and looks which the two gave each other, told the old, old story plainly, “Bat, dearest, why have you got your habit?” he asked at last, *“Because—because—— Oh "Rique, you must let me go with youl” she said, trembling as she spoke. “Impossible! You do not know what this trip means,” “Bat I must! To day,” she went on, with a blush, “would have been our wedding, and [ cannot-—I cannot-let you go alone!" “In great perplexity, Don Enrique looked at the peon for advice. Pablo had served his father as well as himself, and Pablo's forefathers had mrved the house, first as slaves, and then as freemen, ever since the first Gonzales had settled in the valley, In reply to the look, the peon gave a grunk “But but, Mercedes,” said the young man, turning to her, “how could you cross the mountains?” “Pablo can carry me—can you not, Pablo?” “Yes, senorita,’ the peon answered, “Very well,” he answered in ares igued tone. “But we've got to start now, Come on, Pablo.” Treaties tiniines, Placing the girl on her mule again, the peon, the party made their way out of of the cane into the main road. Once on this, they pushed ahead rapid- ly, Pablo keeping up without the slight- est difliculty, The road, which at first was good, gradually got wilder and rougher, un. til as they went up the mountains, the mules wo 'd stop and pant every now and then before beginning one of the frightful climbs, during which they had to almost spring from rock to rock. Still up, and up, the mules climbed, urged on as much as possible by their riders, j Suddenly Pablo, who had been look. ing baek, said “Look, senor.” And Don Enrique, turning, saw far below a string of what seemed like lit- tle brown boys, carrying long sticks, crossing an open space. “Eight, nine, ten,” he counted, ina “Well, if we loosening his revolver. “No fight here, senor,” peon earnestly, “No good here, Up “All right, Pablo.” And once more the mules were urged jut if the fugitives had seen their pursuers, they bad in turn been seen, and the race be. gan between The Wis them, road At one side the rocks towered above though they while, on the other hand, a hideous, yawning lLarranca, as crevices in the went then until It seemed as down sheer some six or seven hundred feet, More and more frightful became the pass until the young girl was forced to cover her eyes with her hand, unable tn look out any longer.

Tben camea pause, A moment afterwards a clond of little arrows, about eight inches long, each wrapped with a tuft of cotton, flew through the air, and then again there was quiet. “Can they reach us from above T"ablo¥” **No, senor; dis only place.” Again the Indians tried to steal round, and again Pablo's wiachele fell. But this time, wilat looked like a stick abour three feet long had been turned toward him by an Indian lying on his stomach, and as the peon was raising his arm to strike, he felt a little prick like a pin in the leg. The arrow fell to the ground, but Pablo, glancing down, saw the end of a splinter in the wound, Don Eangue at once attemp- ted to dug thas out, but both be and the peon knew It was no use, The curare poison had touched the blood, and in he met two of them at once. The one to the left he struck on the head, lay- ing the brain open; but a glance showed him that the machete of the one to the right was coming down. He just man- aged to spring out of the way when a deafening report just by his ear, and the leap of the Indian into the air, told him that Mercedes had picked vp the revolver where he had let it fall. To advance to the corner and strike down the man coming round was the work of a moment, and then with a gigh of re hef, he realized that he once more held the pass. The rest was but for 4 mo- ment though, Taking the revolver from Mercedes, and leaning cautiously round the rock, he waited in silence.
