Bo at laut Carmela would learn the
truth. Salvador waa out there alone.
She would aoon Judge him. If ha were
Innocent aba would know. If he had
anerely bean made the sport of a de?
signing woman she was ready to for?
give. In a more amiable mood than
ehe had displayed at any moment since
her arrival at Laa Flore*, Carmela
hastened along; n dark corridor, crossed
a bars ball, passed through a porch
and searched the abadowa of the
pateo for the form of her one time
lover.
A voice whispered In French:
' Tome quickly, scnlmru. 1 pmy you!"
It startled her It lind San DtraTaflgS
talking French until It occurred to her
that Iris and he must ?QejpsjfOf in that
language or hardly at all. Tis?though,
wsa disquieting. The volcano stirred
"Senhnra, je vous prle!" again plead
ed the man, who waa on horseback
ander the trees.
She did not hesitate, but ran to him.
Without a word of explanation he
caught her lu bis art is, drew her up
until ahe was seated on the bolsters
strapped to a gaucho aaddle and
wheeled bla horse into a gallop. Filled
with a grim determination, ahe uttered
no protest Not a ay liable crossed her
IiP-* lest be should atrlve to amend bia
woeful bluuder. She noticed that tbey
were not going toward the camp, but
circling round the incloaed land In the
direction of the bills. Though the
flight waa dark, the stars gave light
enough for the horse to move freely.
Carmela'a bead waa bent.
But Sao Beuavldes wondered why
the cold Inglesa had surrendered ao
silently. lie expected at least a
scream, s struggle, an Impassioned de?
mand to be releaaed.
"One word, seubora." be muttered.
Ton must think me mad. I am not.
All la loat. Our army la defeated, in
an bonr Laa Flores will be In flames."
The girl quivered iu bis arms. A
gaoanlng cry came from ber.
**It la true. I swear It!" he vowed.
"I mean you no 111. 1 fought till the

"Salvador!" she said.
His eyee glared into hers. Ills freu

She was too distraught to note if his
heart was beating. It seemed Incredi?
ble that she, a weak woman, should
have crushed the life out of that lithe
aud active frame with one blew. She
rose and ran blindly.
Long before Carrnela reached the
flnca San Henavldes stirred, groaned,
squirmed convulsively and raised him?
self on hands and knees. He turned
and sat d<?wn. feeling his head.
?The spitfire!" he muttered. "The
she devil: And thst other! Would
that 1 could wring her neck!"
A sputtering of rifles crackled In the
valley. There was n blurred clamor
of voices. He looked at the sky, at
the black summits of the hills. Ho
stootl up, and his Inseparable ?word
clanked on the stony ground.
"Ah, well." he growled, Ml have done

CnAPTEH XVII.
A COW Or the NAPOLEONIC order.
CARMKLA went back to a house?
hold that paid scant heed to her
screaming. Dom Corrla was
there, bareheaded, his gorgeous
uniform bword slashed and blood be?
spattered General Ilusso, too, was
beating his capacious chest and shout?
ing:
"God's bones! Lot us make a fight
of it!"
A sprinkling of soldiers, all dis?
mounted cavalry or gunners, a few
disheveled officers, had accompanied
Do Sylva In his flight. With reckless
bravery he and Kusso had tried to
rally the troops camped at headquar?
ters. It was a hopeless effort. Half
breeds cau never produce a military
caste. They may fight valiantly Ifl
the line of battle?they will not face
the unknown, the terrible, the harpies
that come at night, borne on the hur?
ricane wings of panic. Unhappily
De Sylva and his bodyguard were the
messengers of their own disaster. The
cowardly genius at Pesqueira had
planned a surprise. He would not lead
It, of course, but in Dom Miguel Bar
raca he fouud an eager substitute. It
was a coup of the Napoleonic order.
An infantry attack along the entire
front of the Liberationist positiou
cloaked the launching against the cen?
ter of a formidable body of cavalry.
The project was to thrust this lance
into the rebel position, probe It thor
oughly, as a surgeon explores a gun?
shot wound, and extract the offender
In the guise of Dom Corrla.
The scheme had proved eminently
successful. The Llberatlonlsts were
crumpled up. and here was Dom Cor?
rla making his last stand.
He deserved better luck, for he was
magnificent in failure. Calm as ever,
he tried to be shot or captured when
the reserves in camp failed him. Run*
so and the rest dragged hint onward
by main force.
"They want me only," he urged.
"My death will end a useless struggle
1 shall die a little later, when many
more of my friends are killed. Why
not die now 7"
They would not listen.
* It is night!" they cried. "The en?
emy's horses are spent. A determined
stand may give us another chonce."
Hut if was u forlorn hope. As San
Benavides lurched into the puteo the
borses of the first pursuing detach?
ment strained up the slope between
the bouse and encampment.
Carrnela. all her tire gone, tho pallid
ghost of the . eugeful woman who
would have shattered her lover's skull
were the revolver loaded, was the tlrsi |
to see him. She actually croucued In
terror. Her tongue was parched. If
she Uttered some low cry none heard
her.
Dom Corrls. striving to dispose his
meager garrison as best he could, met
bis trusted lieutenant. His face lit
with Joy.
"Ah. my poor Salvador!" he cried.
**\ thought we had lost you at the
ford!"
"No." said San Benavides. "I ran
away!"
Even in his dire extremity De Sylva
Smiled
"Would that others had run like you.
my Salvador!" ho said. "Then we
should have been lu Pernnmbuco to
morrow."
The Brazilian looked around. His
eye dwelt heedlessly on the cowering
Carrnela. He was searching for Iris,
who had beeu compelled by Coke and
Ruinier and her uncle to take shelter
behind the score of sailors who still
remained at Las Flores.
"It Is true nevertheless," he said la?
conically, i knew the fa DM wus lost.
bo 1 came here to try to save n lady."
"Ah-our Carrnela? You thought of
her?"
"No!"
Then the spell passed from Carrnela.
Sho literally threw herself on her
lover.
"Yes. it Is true!" she shrieked. "He
came to save me, but 1 preferred to
die here?with you, father, aud with
htm."
Dom Corria did not understand these
fire works, but he had no time for
thought. Bullets were crashing through
the closed Venetians. Light they must

It was a < risis that called bu- rigor.
The ravulry lance was twenty miles
from ||s base, and there was no Know

to k"? i? its retMlearouj or this last des
perate Stand at Las Florid would have
proved a sheer Impossibility.
Bo the house must be rushed, no
matter what the cost. This was a war
of leaders. Let Dom Corria fall and
his most enthusiastic supporters would
pay Dom Miguel's taxes without fur?
ther parley. A scheme of concerted
action was hastily arranged. Simul
taneously rive detachments swarmed
against the chosen points of assault.
One crossed the pateo to the porch,
another made for the ?table entrance,
a third attacked the garden door, a
fourth assailed the servants' quarters,
and the fifth, strongest of all and In?
spired by Dent Miguel's presence, bat?
tered In the shutters and tore away
the piled tip furniture of the ballroom.
The Nationalist leader's final order
was terse:
"Spare the women; shoot every reb?
el; do not touch the foreigners unless
they resist!"
With yells of "Abajo De Sylva!"
"Morto por rovoltados!" the SSSS Hants
closed in. Neither side owued maga?
zine rifles, so the light was with ma?
chetes, swords and bayonets when the
first furious hail of lead had spent it
lelf. No man thought of quarter nor
ceased to stab and thrust until he fell.
When BOO desperadoes meet fifty of
like caliber in a hand to baud conflict,
when the 300 moan to end the business
and the fifty know that they must die,
fighting for choice, but die In any
event, the resultant encounter will
surely be both fierce and brief.
By one of those queer chances which
sometimes decide the hazard between
life and death the window nearest that
end of the room where the sailors
strove to protect a few shrieking wo?
men had not been broken lu. Here,
then, was a tiny bay of refuge. From
it the men of the Andromeda and the
Unser Fritz. Buhner, Verity, Iris and
such of the Brazilian ladies as bad not
fled to the upper rooms at the initial
volley looked out on an amazing butch'
ery. De Sylva, no longer young at: 1
uever a robust man. had been dragged
from mortal peril many times by his
devoted adherents. Carmela had
snatched a machete from the fingers of
a dying soldier and was lighting like
one possessed of a fiend.
Once when a combined rush drove
the defenders nearly on top of the non
combatants Iris would have striven to
draw the half demented girl Into the
little haven with the other women.
But Coke thrust her back, shouting:
"Leave er alone! She'll set about
y;>u if you touch her!"
Dickey Buhner, too, who was dis?
playing a fortitude hardly to be ex?
pected In a man of his years and hab?
its, thought that Interference was use

"l^et 'tr do what she can." he sala.
"She doesn't know wot is 'appenin'

But if Dicket Buhner's simple words

Into the wall behind them.
"Look out. unster!" he bellowed
"'Kre's a blighter 'oo wants to finis!)

B1BLEST?DIES
DEFEAT THROUGH DRUNKEN
NESS.
I Kings 20:12-21?March 19
"It is not for kivj* to drink trine; nor for
princes strong drink."- Proverbs Sl:!f.
CODAV's lesson recounts nn In?
vasion of the land of Israel by
King Benhadad, over-lord of
Syria, who had under hiiu thir?
ty-two kings of Syria and a large army.
Warfare In those days, of course, was
very different from what It Is today.
The numbers In conflict were fewer
and their weapons inferior. Their
motive was plunder.
Our day witnesses a considerable
advance along the lines of diplomacy.
Wars and Invasions now arc always
based upon some
p h 11 a n t broplc
motive ? to free
people from bad
government, or to
compel them to
pay their debts,
or to open up
their country to
civilization, or to
give them more
responsible a n d
rep re sentative
government. or
greater freedom
of religion. Rob?
bery and pillage.
Benhadad, king 0/ Fyria.
by an invading army, are reprobated.
Whatever is taken from the conquered
people must bo obtained by the levying
of an indemnity fund. All this speaks
to us of a higher moral sense, even
though much relating to it be hypoc?
risy. The very need for the hypocrisy.
Implies that with a considerable num?
ber, there are qualms of conscience on
the subject.
The Battle Was the Lord's, and of
Courso He Won
Benhadad sent his demands to Klug
Ahab saying, "Thy silver und thy gold
are miue: thy wives and thy children,
even the goodliest of thine." King
Ahab, recognizing the greatuess of the
army and his own unprepareduess for
resisting them, answered, "My Lord,
O King, according to thy saying. I am
thine, I and all that I have." But
when the invader broadened his de?
mand and included with it the wealth
of all the nobles of Israel, their wives
and their children, etc., resistance was
aroused. Thereupon the Invaders set
the battle army against the walls of
Israel's Capital? Samaria.
At this juncture God seut a Prophet
to Israel's King. Informing birj that
lie would deliver the- invaders Into bis
hand and give him a great victory.
The astonished Ahab asked by whom
would the battle he waged against the
host. The answer was that at the
Command the princes of the provinces
should fight under Ahab's direction,
supported by the militia. By this sig?
nal victory God would demonstrate
his power by protecting the nation
with whom he had made the Law
Covenant.
The Divine order was followed. Two
hundred and thirty-two princes, or
chiefs, of the people at noon passed
out of the gates of the city, followed
by seven thousand militia?a small
number wherewith to meet a host.
Apparently this was poor generalship;
but the Lord was the General and
overruled the results. King Benhadad
and his associates had been drinking.
The Syrians were ordered to capture
the men alive. But this they did not
do. Soon the Syrian forces were In
disorder and completely routed. Flu
manly speaking, the battle was lost by
Benhadad's o\ er-confidencc, and par?
ticularly by his indulgence In Intoxi?
cating liquors.
Lessons Which We May Draw
The honest, the holy, the reverential
of mankind, who seek peace and right?
eousness may be likened to Israel, to
God's people. Benhadad and his thirty
two kings nud their armies would cor?
respond to Satan and his various hosts
of unrighteousness. We may name
these hosts as we please. To some,
one portion, and to others, other por?
tions of these hosts are the more rep?
rehensible. Many of these kings may
represent various Trusts which, by
manipulation of life's necessities, are
attacking the welfare aV the people.
Others of these kings may represent
political grafters. Others may repre?
sent various vices which prey upou the
public, including intemperance. The
forces thus set in battle array against
the public are appalling, especially
when the wealth at their command is
considered.
The demands of the?se various "inter?
ests" come tirst upon the honorable
and well-meaning public sen-ants. But
-.^ when the de
ffn PV'v NAj manda broaden,
and It Is evident
that general pll
lstge ii the Inten?
tion, the voice of
the Lord should
be h e 0 r d and
b e e d e d, and a
stout resistance
should be made.
As with Ahab,

JUDGE POPE DYING.
Former Chief Justice Has But a Few
Days to Live.
Columbia, March S.?Seventy years
Old, Hon. Young John Pope, who was
Captain B. R Tillman's Lieutenant in
the reform movement of the early 'tO*s
and who retired two years ago from
the chief justiceship of the supreme
court, lies critically ffl at his frame in
Newberry. A letter received here to?
day says: "We have heretofore been
keeping out of the papers all refer?
ence to Judge Pope'? condition for
the reason that he insisted on read?
ing them or having them in a way
read to him. He has passed beyond
that stage now, however, and we no
longer see any use in it. In fact, it
Is now but right that his friends
should be informed. Poor fellow, he
is now permanently in bed and it is
too apparent that the end is not far
ahead. I scarcely see how he can
live for more than a short while. I
?say rive to ten days. The last stapes
of the disease have been reached and |
the doctors say that it could be a
month, but it may be at any- mo?
ment, or in a day or so. There is no
longer any reason for speaking quiet?
ly."
BAILEY CALLED FOUR-FLUSHER.
Texas Enemies say Resignation Was
Fraud Upon People.
Galveston, Texas, March 5.?The
action of Senator Joseph Bailey in
tendering ids resignation as the Texas
Junior Senator and then recalling It
within a couple of hours has revived
Balleyism in his home state.
I At a conference of the State as?
sociation, organized several months
ago to tight liaih y's re-election, and
Including in Its membership over 100
prominent Democrats, this last action
of the junior Senator was denounced
as a Bailey four-flush and never in?
tended sincerely?s collusion between
: Senator Bailey and Governor Col
qultt to bring out a big boom for
Baiby.
i The conference declares the res?
ignation plot "Is f. fraud upon the con?
fidence of a trusting people," and that
Bailey "was merely duping those who
followed him so as to cover up his
defense of a man who is said to have
bought his seat in the United States
Senate.
j Attention was dire* ted to the fact
, that the only protest against bis res?
ignation from Washington came from
Republicans who had voted with
Bailey for Borimer and that not a
message from any of the Texas dele
rat ion was sent, it waa also observed
I that the message requesting him to
withdraw his resignation did not
come from the Legislature, but that

in the legislative halls and summoned
