about making her end of the work of that
auxiliary as successful as the whole.
Bhe and Doctor Baker gave a large dance
In Spring Lake In July for the benefit of
the auxiliary, and that Is but one of her
many arrangements to bring about the
success of her work.
There are numbers of people in the
Adlrondacks this summer, especially about
Placid and Saranac, and the swimming and
canoeing and water sports up there are
great. The Packards are at their camp,
and Mary Thayer, the daughter of Captain

" taken a cottage In Narracansett for
the remainder of the season. She was on
her way home to Bryn Mawr and intended
topping with her two children at Mrs.
Samuel's for a short visit. The children,
Xatharlne and Charles Snowden, were at
camp, and wheri Mrs. Converse went for
them they had contracted whooping cough,
and so instead of visiting Mrs. Samuel
(who, by the way, was a sister of Mrs.
Converse's first husband), she has' taken a
bouse In Narragansctt herself ,nnd her
trlbther, Mrs. William B. Churchman, has
tone down from York Harbor to stay with
her.
I hope the children will be well by Horse
Bhow time, for Mrs. Converse has a lot to

Which is to be a sort of side issue to the

CHAPTER V
Among the Man-Eaters
(Pcopv is made a captive of the Witch
of the Xlght, after having hcen made
ttiiv through a trick. Bhe defies the
Witch, who orders- her throtcn among
the Man Haters )
rVUM-ZUM-ZUM-ZUM-ZUM," buzzed the
-i Man-Eaters hungrily. "Wo're hungry.
We smell food We like tender young girl.
We'll drink her veins dry. Yum-yum-um!"
What could these bloodthirsty creatures
be? Peggy was losing her fear of the WltcH.
because she felt she was a crafty old fraud,
but the strange hum from within the cage
was nn entirely different matter.
"I like music with my meals," squawked
tho Witch. "I'll have ou devoured while I
eat my supper. Your shrieks will be sweet
strains to my ears."
Peggy straightened up. She'd not utter a
single cry no matter how terrible the Man
Eatets might be. She would dofy the Witch
until the last. Then she remembered hew an
noyed the Witch had been when she used the
word "looney." So on the spur of the moment
sho made up a silly little verse.
"There was a looney loon,
Who used to slyly spoon
By the light of the moon
With an old flirty coon.
And she said, 'Weil wed Boon
If you'll '"
I'eggy got no farther. Her verse had a
most unexpected effect. It seemed to drive
the Witch mad She whirled around and
around on her seat, while from her throat
came again and again the wild, weird cry.
The Night Herons flew up In a panic of
fear, each bearing In his bill a fish which he
dropped before tho Witch as If to appease
her. The Ravens left their work at the cage
and cowered before the Witch's rage.
Peggy was amazed for a moment and then
the Witch's mad flurry Btruck her as being
very funny.
"Ha, ha, ha I" she laughed.
"Ha, ha, ha!" laughed the Night Herons
nnd It.tvens, their fear abruptly changing to
mirth.
The Witch went wilder than ever at this.
"Roll thunders!" she shrieked. And the
thunder followed so quickly the' Birds stop
ped laughing at once.
"Throw this wretch of a Princess to the
Man-Eaters," tho Witch commanded. The
Night Herons and Ravens held back; shaking
their heads.
"Obey," shrieked the Witch furiously.
"Obey, or I'll bring winds- that will blow
down all the treea. I'll bring waters that will
cover the earth."
The Birds still held back, though they
trembled.
"Blow winds," shrieked the Witch. A
mighty blast swept through the trees
"Obey!" cried the Witch.
Night Heron stalked up to Peggy, and
seized her by her pajamas. The Ravens
opened a gap in the cage and thrust her
within. Instantly the hum mounted to a
high pitch. Great winged creatures flew
around her head.
Then Peggy saw what the Man-Eaters
were. They were monster mosquitoes, each
to her tiny eyes seeming as large as a bird.
Their sharp bills, as sharp as swords,
threatened to pierce her through and through
Half a dozen of them could eat her up and
here were scores and scores of them.
Peggy ran to the side of the cage to try
to break out. She found the cage was a
tough, unbreakable spider web. Huge spiders
were already patching up the gap made by
the Ravens. Outside, the Witch was begin
ning to gobble up her flsh dinner, evidently
expecting Peggy's screams to furnish the
music for her meal.
Buzzing loudly, the Man-Eaters started for
Peggy. She fought with all her might, ward
ing off their menacing bills. But she knew
It would be a matter of only a moment when
she would be overwhelmed.
Then came unexpected help. The cage ex
tended partly over the scummy water. Out
of this scummy water came popping a bunch
of Frogs. They leaped at the Man-Eaters,
snapping them up. Bullfrog whispered to
Peggy:
"Run, run," Peggy ran to the edge of the
scummy water and out over It. To her
astonishment the water seemed to hold her
Up. She found a small hole In the cage
through which she crept. Then she fled on.
on over tho scummy water, wondering why
she dldrt sink, until, looking down, she saw
that she was running over a living bridge
made by the backs of hundreds of hundreds
of Frogs. Behind her she heard the shriek
of the Witch. Her.escape had been discover

CHAPTER V ( Cont imic.n
ITrHnN the social gayetles of the capital
' ' were exhausted, he took up In earnest the
work he had planned to do, He bought a full
equipment of the best mining machinery and
hired a large number of laborers But tho
enterprise proved more difficult than he ex
pected The Spaniards, who had worked al
the problem three centuries before, were
bound to fall on account of their lack of
engineering machinery. To empty Lake
Guntavlla, they tried to cut through the
mountain which formed one of the containing
walls of that body of water. Under the
circumstances their partial success was amar
Ing. The V-shaped gash they cut through
the mountain Is a proof of their Industry,
even If It failed of Its full purpose But It
did lower the level of the lake although this
result was followed by an unforeseen catas
trophe. The sudden release of the water
through the channel opened for It left the
preelpltos shores of the lake unsupported.
These shores then caved In. covering what
ever treasure there might be In the center of
the basin with masses of rock nnd earth, and
thus placing a new obstacle In the way of tho
future miner.
David and Raoul took the problem from a
different angle. They abandoned the old cut
tings of the Spaniards and planned a tunnel
through the thinnest part of the mountain to
the bottom of the lake. In this way they
hoped to control the outflow of water, after
which, they calculated, the recovery of the
treasure would be a mere matter of placer
mining.
To do this they had boring machines and
dynamite modern giants, of whose existence
the old Spaniards never dreamed.
As a first test of the existence of treasure
In the lake, native divers explored some of
the shallow places near the shore. A few
ancient gold Images were thus secured,
enough to corroborate tho legend regarding
Guatavita. These Images were curiously
carved. One represented a small human
figure seated In a sort of sedan chair.
Another was a heart-shaped breastplate upon
which were embossed human faces and
various emblems. Others were statuettes,
rude likenesses, probably, of those who threw
them Into the lake as votive offerings.
These gold tokens spurred on the miners.
Work on the tunnel was rushed, and a sub
terranean passage, several hundred feet In
length, directed to a point Just below tho
bottom of the lake, was soon completed.
Then a peculiarly hard rock formation was
reached that the boring machines could not
p. i i "iv ci come It, dynamite was used.
'Since djiiamlle was one of the final
words In jour test," said David, In telling his
story to Lelghton, "jou know that Its ue
In our venture brings the climax of my
mining experience. How to explain this
climax to ou or to myself Is bejond me.
"When we decided to use dynamite In our
excavation, a long fuse was laid fiom the
tunnel's entrance to tho unyielding wall at
the other end. There this fuse was con
nected with a dynamite charge placed In the
crevice of the rock to be de.stroed. Itaoul,
waiting to set off the fuse, remained nt the
opening of the tunnel I was at the further
end, looking after the laying of the dynamite.
As I started for the entrance, I was a little
behind the others. The latter no sooner
gained the outer air than a muffled roar
shook the tunnel. The ground swayed, the
terrific concussion of air seemed to rend my
very brain, and I fell unconscious."
David's htory came nbruptly to an end.
Pale and listless, weaned by the effort to
give a coherent account of his experiences,
he looked hopelessly at Lelghton.
"Well," said the latter," what then?"
"If I could only tell you!" I
"Surely, you remember something there
Is some clue "
"Nothing ! Just darkness."
"Some faint flashes here nnd there
glimpses of people, scenes, a house, a street
the sound of voices, a word ?"
"Nothing!"
"Try to remember."
"No Use, I've tried It too often. It's all a
blank. I thought, for an Instant, that In
your psychometer test the veil would be
lifted. Instead oa Jou know I went to
pieces."
"Very well," said Lelghton reassuringly,
"let us go back to your story. You were In
the tunnel when the dynamite went off. You
were thrown to the ground; ou lost con
sciousness. What Is the next step In
memory?"
"Walt," said David slowly. "The ex
plosion was on the 9th of Mav The date
was Indelibly fixed In my mind; I have veri
fied It since. When I recovered conscious
ness "
"You mean your normal consciousness,"
Interjected Lelghton.
"Very well. When I came to myself, then,
It was on the morning of the 5th of August "
"Nearly three months afterward." rum
lnatedtthe old man, "you found jourself ?"
"Seated In a chair, In a room In a strange
hous In Bogota."
"Alone?"
"Raoul Arthur was with me , He was bend
ing over me. his eyes fixed on mine, making
passes with his hand before my face."
"You were In a hypnotic trance."
"I was coming out o'f one. apparently."
"It would be hard to define your condition
Of course, after the explosion you had been
picked up and carried to this house In Bogota,
where you had remained, suffering from a
severe nervous shock perhaps concussion of
the brain for three months."
"I had been In that house scarcely an hour
before my memory was suddenly revived."
"How do you know that?" demanded
Lelghton, sharply.
"The rainy season was on In August In
Bogota. I found myself In my riding dress.
My rubber poncho, dripping with rain, was on
the floor. My boots, the spurs still attached
to the hMls, were caked with, mud."
"And Arthur torn you r
"At first, I was bewildered, as one Is when
suddenly aroused from a long sleep. With
full return of consciousness. I asked Itaoul
how I came to be there. He Bald he dftin't
know."
"He must have given some explanation "
"Very little. What he said mystified me
more than ever He declared that a short
time before a messenger had conle, saying
that I was In the house, waiting for him"
"Whose house was It?"
"Raoul's. He had rented tt two months be
fore and was living In It alone with two
servants who were running u iur nim.
"And this messenger ?"
"An Indian, whom neither of us saw or
heard of again, although we Inquired high
and low."
"The servants must have had information
to give?"
"On being questioned they said I had
arrived that morning on horseback, with an
Indian, who left me there. The Indian was
nrobably the messenger who Informed Raoul
i. , arrival, and who afterward disap
peared. My horse was tethered in the court-
obliterated," remarked Lelghton sarcastically.
"But Arthur must have been able to shed
some light on the affair."
"He said that when he found me I did not
recognize hi in nnd wns In n sort of dazed
mentnl state Then he tried hypnotism. He
had often h.vpnptlzed me before that, and was
thus familiar with my condition while In a
trance. Well, as soon as he saw me, after
my long disappearance, he declared that I
showed tvery symptom of hypnotic trance.
So he nt once tried the usual method for
bringing me back to a normal condition
nnd with complete success"
"In his report Arthur emphasizes that
ns the singular feature of the case. Ills
account, no far ns It goes, ngrees with yours
It gives the facts of the explosion, how ou
were supposed tn be killed, how ou dis
appeared for three months, nnd how, when
jou werp found, you were In a trance from
which he awakened ou."
"Poes he say that, on coming out of the
trnnre 1 ,-ntilil remember nothing that
happened during t'i"se three months?"
'Ve,
"Well, there's the whole cpse You know
all that I do about It "
"All that Raoul Arthur knows?"
"11 that he savs. he knows"
"Ah. then yiMi have your doubts?"
"Just a suspicion I have a feeling that
he could tell more about my disappearance
than he chose to tell "
"Whv did vou leave him?"
"I left llogota the day after I earn out
Df tho trance My distrust of Raoul and
the horror that I felt for ever thing con
nected with my mysterious experience, made
my stay thorn more than I could stand.
But we parted friends, nnd I've sent him
money to go on with the excavations. How
he's getting on I can't tell you I've lost
mv Interest In El Dorado. I won't visit
Bogota ngaln."
For pome minutes Lelghton paced up and
down the shadowy room Then lie stopped,
with the air of one who has reached a de
cision. "Our course Is plain," he announced.
"I've tried everything: there's nothing to
be done," said tho other hopelessly.
"David, jou'vo mlsed the obvious thing,"
was the emphatic reply. "We must go to
Bogota."
"Go to Bogota !"
"You and I will face Arthur together. If
lu knows anything more about this mat
ter, he's bound to tell us. If he doesn't
know If jour suspicions are groundless
we'll solve the myt-tery of those three
months some other way. And perhaps we'll
stumble upon your Glided Man at tho same
time," he added with a chuckle.
"And Una ""
'She has a wav of deciding things for
herself For all I Know she may want to
o with us"
"Would sou consent''"
"There's no reason agnlnst It In a ghost
hunt a woman's wit may help"
"Very well, then,' said David, new energy
in his words nnd manner,
"You agree?"
"I am entirely In jour hands"
"Then weil take up our Interesting little
experiment again In the land of El pMtadn
and this time weil run It out to the end."
"Without a psjehometer, I hope," said
David.

llness that brought the Inhabitants of the
Calle de Las Montnnas together on this par
ticular morning.
An army of bootblacks was assembled in
the middle of the street. Bogota, ancient
seat of the Muyscas, City of the Mountains,
is, tor somo unknown reason, rich In boot-
blacks Hence, It was not surprising to ''
find a hundred or more knights of the brush
and bottle mustered here.
They were of varying age and size, clad it
In nondescript rags, over which protectlngly
flapped the ruana, or poncho, a garment In
herited from the Indians, and now uni
versally worn In Spanish America. War's
ordinary weapons were lacking In this tat
tered regiment. Instead of sword and
musket each joungster carried In front of
him, hanging from his nork, a rude box con
taining the bottles and brushes needed In his
calling. Ordinarily these weapons are harm
less enough ; but these volunteer soldiers felt
that they were adequately armed for what
ever adventure might be In the wind.
Patriotism and a ruana can start any
revolution. In expert hands, tho vicious
twirl of a ruana should bring terror to the
most stnlwnrt of foes and of patriotism
there was a generous supply this morning
In the Calle de Las Montanas.
Pedro Cavallo, a wlrj- youth, taller than
tils fellows, gifted with shrill eloquence, acro
batic gestures, and hence acclaimed the King
of the Bootblacks, waB the leading spirit of ,
the throng surrounding him.
"Viva Pedro! For la Patrlai Por la Patrlal'
Jiaja los puercos !" shouted first one and then
another In answer to his orders given with
all the assurance of royalty.
"Compadres '" he addressed them, switch
Ing his cumbersome box of blacking to one
side with oratorical cunning; "we will lead s. .
the way! We will march to the palace) 4
We will march to the coast, and then we will
sweep out the Yankees!" ""
"SI ! SI !" thej- shrilled In eager response.
"Por la Patrlal Por la Patria! Mata los
Yankees Puercos !"
A quizzical spectator, a, truo Bogotano,
robust and red-cheeked, swathed In an
ample ruana, echoed the enthusiasm.
"It is an army of emboladores I" he shouted
sonorouslj'. "Let the Yankee bull bewarel" "i
Now, "embolador," although It Is a-word J
familiarly used In Bogota to designate-' a i
bootblack, lias for Its first meaning "oneU 1
who puts balls on tho tips of a bull's horni,"
a thing not ensj to accomplish, requiring,
as It does, the conquest of a traditionally
warlike animal. Applied to this Falstaffian
army of bootblacks, the Irony of the term J.
was broad enough to delight tho bystanders,
nt the same time thnt It flattered the vanity
of those for whom It was Intended.
Distances meant little to the emboladores
No matter how far thej- had to travel, they t
vowed thej would keep going until they met t
"los Yankees." And, when they did meet y
them, they had no doubt of what,woutd hap-
pen. Confident In their own ability topat
the "usurpers" to flight, they had the syrn- ,
pathy of the peons surrounding them. i
