CHAPTER XV.
Throughout the forenoon Webster
and Dolores, from the deck of the
steamer, watched the city. By ten
o'clock the sounds of battle had swelled
to a deeper, steadier roar, and
refugees arriving brought various and
fragmentary stories of the fighting.
From this hodge-podge of inlslnfortua,,
. tlon, however, Webster decided that
Rlcgrdo's troops were forcing the Issue
with vim and determination, and
Since the most furious fighting was
now well In toward the heart of the
city. It seemed reasonable to presume
the struggle was for possession of the
arsenal and palace.
At noon the deep diapason of conflict
began to slacken; by one o'clock
It had dwindled considerably, and at
two o'clock Webster, gazing anxiously
.' Cityward, observed Leber's launch
coming rapidly out from shore. At
the wheel stood Don Junn Cafctero;
as the launch shot In under the vessel's,
side he looked up, searching for
Webster's face among the curious
throng that lined the rail.
"Who has won?" n voice called, and
another, evidently a humorist and a
- shrewd judge of human nature, replied:
"Why ask foolish questions?
The rebels, of course. That fellow's
Irish and the Irish are horn rebels.
Look at the scoundrel. He's black
wdth gun grease and burned powder
where he Isn't red .with blood. The
butcher 1"
"Faugh-a-ballagh!" he shrieked.
"We've got the dlvlls cornered now.
^ 'Twill be over two hours hlnce."
Don .Tuan tied up the launch at
the gangway and leaped up the ladder,
three steps at a time. "Glory be
to God." he panted and hurled himself
Into Webster's arms "I was In
It! I was. I got buck In time to catch
up wit* the lads at the warehouse an*
they were the fine, fightln' devils. I'll
Ramble you. Och, 'twas a grrand bit
6v a fight?whilst It lasted. They put
me In the motor-thruck, loadln' the
belts wit' cn'trldges as fast as the
gunners emptied thlm, hut faith they
couldn't keep me there. I got Into the
heart av the scrimmage In the yard
av the arsenal an' faith 'twas well for
that little Doethor Pacheco I did.
Twas wurrk to me llkln'. I'd a machete?"
"You bloodthirsty scoundrel!" Webster
shook the war-mad son of Erin.
"I told* you not to mix In It, but to
hung uiuujid on the fringe of the fight,
and bring ns early news. Suppose
, you'd been killed? Wljo would have
come for us then? Didn't I tell you
we had a dinner engagement In the
palace?"
"Me on the fringes av a fight?"
sputtered Don Juan, amazed and outPfl
ffA<1 "Tolro

There was nlver the likes av me hung
round the fringes av a fight, an' well
ye know It,"
"I'm amazed that you even remembered
your Instructions," Webster
rasped at him.
"Sure, our division had cl'aned up
nicely an' I had nothln' else to do,
God bless ye. They were beslegln' !
the palace whin I left, an' small
chance av takln' It for a couple av
hours; what flghtln' there was on the
outside was street shootln'?an' not
to me llkln'."
"Is It quite safe to bring Miss Ruey
ashore, John?"
'"Tls safe enough at the Hotel Mateo.
We have the city for half a
mile heyant, in the rear av them?an'
they're not flghtln' to get to the bay.
The guards an' some av the Fifteenth
lnfanthry reglmlnt are In the palace
an' the cuartel close by, an' thlm

we've took the palace we'll move on
an' <liirive the vagahones front hehint
up to that railroad enihnnkmlnt, where
Htnernl Ituey can hid them the time
it v day."
Webster turned to Dolores. "Do yon
wish to go ashore?"
She nodded, her flashing eyes bent
In admiration upon the gory, grimy
Don Juan Cafetero, for'she was half
Irish, and In that amazing meeting
she knew the outcast for one of her
blood. "I think my brother will sleep
in his father's old room tonight." she
murmured softly. "And I would sleep
In mine." j

In rmroonse to Webster's eager Inquiries

front, the placid fellow shrugged and
murmured: "Qulen saber* Evidently

to the lobby, Dolores saw what a
very nearsighted person. Indeed, would
have seen?to wit: that he was not I
| plensed to remain In the hotel and
j with the spirit of adventure strong
within him was desirous of progressing
still further toward the firing, In
the hope of eliciting some favorable
news as to the progress of the fight.
She realized, however, that he would
do his duty and remnln with her In
the hotel; so she said gayly:
"Suppose we walk out a little far!
ther, Caliph. Many of the side streets
i will be as safe and peaceful as'one
, could desire, and If warfare should
! develop In our vicinity we can step Into
some house."
! . "I do not like to have you run the
' slightest risk?" he began, but she
i>ui/,i-|nniiii'ii mni uuo silence, took
him by the arm with a great sir of
eamnraderle, and declared they should
pro forth to adventure?but cautiously.
Webster glanced at Don Juan. "We
can go a half or three quarters nv a
mile out the Calle San Rosnrlo, sor,"
the Irishman answered. "After that
'twill not be a pleasant sight for the
young leddv?an' there may be sotm*

afther the fight Is over, there'll be
scatterin' shootln' scrai>es all av the
night long, I'm thlnkln'."
| "At the slightest danger we'll turn
back," Webster announced, and with
Don Juan Cafetero scouting the way
! a block In advance they progressed
slowly toward the center of the disturbance.
j Soon they passed a horse dead In
the middle of the street; a little farther
on one of the machine-gun
company, a lank Texan, sat on
the curb rolling a cigarette w'th his
left hand. He had a bullet through
his right shoulder and another through
the calf of his lbg^aud had received no
first aid attention; the flies were bothering
him considerably and he was
cursing softly and fluently, like the ex.mule-skinner
he was.
I Farther on another white Invader
lay face down In the gutter; for him
the fight had ended almost ere It had \
begun. In the next block half a doz- I
1 en sandal-footed Sobrunteans, In the 1
blue and red-trimmed uniform of the '
Guitrdla Civil, lay sprawled la uncouth
attitudes, where the first blast of a
machine gun had caught them as they
rushed out of the police station to repel
the advancing mercenaries,
i Seeing that the main street of the
city would assume even a more grisly
aspect the longer they followed It, Don
Juan led Webster and Dolores a couple
of blocks down a cross street and
turned out Into the Calle de Hernnnde*,
parallel to the Calle San Hosarlo. j
There had been no shooting In this
street, apparently; as they proceeded
not even a stray bullet whined down *
the silent calle.
| Four blocks from the government '
palace they found the narrow side- j
walks of this quiet street lined with
! wounded from both shies, with a doej
tor and half a dozen of Rlcardo's hired
i fighters ministering to them; as they
| threaded their way between the recumbent
figures they came upon Mother |
[ Jenks, brandy bottle and glass In hand. .
I "doing her hit."
"Hah! So here you are, my lamb," >
she greeted Dolores. '4tlght-o. Just

The "young cockerel," a blond youth
' of scarce 20 summers, twisted his head
and grinned up at Dolores as she knelt
beside him to lift hint up. "Ilere, here,
sister." he mumbled, "you'll get that
\\hlte dress dirty. Never mind me. It's
Just a flesh wound, only my neck has
got stiff and I'm weak from loss of
blood."
Mother Jenks winked at Webster as
she set a glass of brandy to the stricken
adventurer's lips, "(live me a hit

Dolores looked up nt Webster. "I'll

Don Juan may run along If you wish.

They were. It would have been Impossible

to a steady outpouring of
sound. "We'll stay here where we're

For half an hour the sounds of a
brisk engagement to the west did not
slacken; then with disconcerting suddenness
the uproar died away fully 50
per cent. *

They passed the altar and Don Juan
g?iuflected and crossed himself reverently.
"I'll be nfther tonkin' me confession,"
be whispered to Webster.
"Walt for me, sor."
He leaned Ms rifle against the altar
railing, crossed the church and touched
lightly on the shoulder a monk kneeling
In prayer before the altar of the
Virgin; the latter bent bis head while
Don Juan whispered : then be rose and
both went Into the confessional, while
Webster found a bench along the wall
and waited.
Presently Don Juan came forth,
knelt on the red-tiled floor and prayed
?something, Webster suspected, he
had not done for quite a while. And
when he bad finished his supplication
and procured his rifle, Webster Joined
him, the monk unbolted the door and
from the quiet of the house of Clod
they passed ont Into the street and the
tumult of hell.
"I've been clost to death this day,"
Don Juan explained, "an) the day Is
not done. He the same token, 'tis long
since I'd made ine last' confession;
sure, until you picked me out av the
mire, sor. 'tis little thought I had for

From their place they could see a !
dor.en or more of Rlcardo's hired tight- j
era crouched under the shelter of the
palace walls across the street. "I think
we'll be safer there," Webster cried,
j?s a couple of bullets struck the stone
steps at their feet and ricocheted
against the cnthedral door. "That rifle
of yours Is making you a marked man.

"Smnll loss!" Don Junn retorted.
"I should hnve mourned you nevertheless,

"Would you that same?" Don Juan's
buttermilk eyes lighted with affection
and pleasure. "Would It put a pang In
the heart of you, sor, to see me
stretched ?"
"Yes. It would. John. You're a wild.
Impulsive, lunatic, worthless Irishman,
but there's a broad ve|n of nay ore in
you. and I want you to live until I can
develop It. When Mr. Henry returns
to operate the mine, he'll need a foreman
he can trust."
"And do you trust me, sr.r?"
"I do indeed, John. By the way, you
never gave me your word of honor to

today I've had to watch you?and I ,
don't want to do that. It isn't dlgnl- j

How about you John? Tlie^cantlnns j
will he open tonight, and fire water ,
will he free to the soldiers of the new 1
republic. Must I watch you tonight?" ,
Don Juan shook his reckless rod \
head. "I'll never let a drop of liquor .
cross my lips without your permission, I
sor," he promised simply. "I am the
man and you are the master."
"We'll shake hands on that 1" After
the western habit of validating all verbal
agreements with a hand shnke, I
Webster thrust his hard hand out to
his man, who took It In both of his
and held It for half a minute. He want* (
ed to si?eak. but couldn't; he could
only bow his head as his eyes clouded
with the tears of his appreciation. "Ah, ;
sor." he blurted presently, "I'd die for
ye an' welcome the chanst."
A wild yell of alarm broke out In the i
next block, at the north gate of the !
palace; there was a sudden flurry of
rifle lire and cries of "Here they come!
Stop them! Stop them! They're
breaking out!"
Without awaiting orders the hired |
fighters along the wall?some 15 of
them?leaped out Into the street, forming
a skirmish line. Just as a troop of
cavalry, with drawn sabers, swept
around the corner and aharired unon
the devoted little line. "Sarros must
he thryln* to make his (tet-ayny," Don
Juan Oafetero remnrked eoolly, and
emptied n saddle. "They threw >open
the hi? palace gate, 'an the guards are
clearln' a way for him to the bay." ,
He emptied another saddle.
In the meantime Rlcardo'a Are eaters
had not been Idle. The Instant the
guards turned Into the street a deadly .
magazine fire had been onened on I
them. They had already suffered heavily
winning through the gate and past
the besiegers In front of It. hut once
they turned the corner Into the next
street they had the fire of hut a handful
of men to contend with. Nevertheless
It was sufficiently deadly. Many
of the horses In the front rank went ,
dawn with their riders, forcing the i
maddened animals behind ta clear their I
carcasses hy leaping over them, which
some did. Many, however, tripped and
stumbled In their wild gallop, spilling
their riders. "Stay

Webster ordered. "There'll be enough
left to ride down those men In the
street nnd saber them!"
And there were! They died to s
innn. nnd the sadly depleted troop of
guards gnlloped on, leaving Don Juan
and Webster unscathed on the sidewalk,
the only two living men unhurt
in that shamble?.
Not for long, however, did they have
the street to themselves. Around the
corner of the nnlaee wall a limousine,
with the curtutns drawn, swung on two
wheels, skidded, struck the carcass of
a horse nnd turned over, catapulting
the chauffeur Into the middle of the
street.
"Snrrns!" shrieked Don Juan and
rnn to the overturned vehicle. It was
quite empty.
"Rully liny, Senor Snrros," Webster
laughed. "He's turned a pretty trirk.
hasn't he? Sent his guards out to
hack a pathway for an empty limousine!
That means he's hoping to draw
the watchers from the other gr.te!"
Rut Hon Juan Cafetero was not lis- ;
tenlng; he wa? running nt top sp,w1 ,
for the south gate of the palace
grounds?and Webster followed.
As they swung into the street upon
which ttyls south gate opened. Webster
saw that It wns deserted of all save
the dead, for Snrros' clever ruse had j
worked well and had had the effect of
arousing the curiosity of his enemies
as to the cause of the uproar nt the
north gate. In consequence of which
they had all scurried aroiiffd the block
to see what they could see, thus according
Sarros the thing he desired
most?a fighting chance and a half
minute to get through the gate and
headed for the steamship landing without
interference.
Webster and Don Juan came abreast
fhe high, barred gate In the thick. 20
'oot masonry wall as the harrier swung
hack and a man, In civilian Hothes,
thr ndered through on a magnificent !
hay thoroughbred.
"That's hlni. Shtop the dlvll !" j
acreamed Don Juan. "They'll do the (
decent thing: be me If I take him
alive."
To Webster, who had acquired the
art of snap shooting while killing tune
In many a lonely camp, the bay charger
offered an easy mark. "Hate to
down that beautiful animal," he remarked?and
pulled away.
The horse leaped into the air and
came down stiff-legged; Sarros spurred
It cruelly, and the gallant beast strove
to gather Itself Into its stride, staggered
and sank to Its knees, as with a
wild Irish yell Don Juan Cafetero
reached the dictator's side.
Sarros drew a revolver, hut before
he could use It Don .Tnnn tunned him
smartly over the hen<l with his rifle
barrel, and the man toppled inertly to
the ground beside his dying horse.
"More power to ye sor," Don Juan
called cheerily and turned to receive
Webster's approval.
What he saw paralyzed hiin for an
instant. Webster was standing beside
the gate, firing into a dozen of Sarros*
soldiery who were pouring out of a
house Just across the street, where for
an hour they had crouched unseen and
unheard by the Kuey men at the gate.
They were practically out of ammunition
and hud merely been awaiting a
favorable opportunity to escape before
the rebels should enter the city In
force and the house-to-house senrch
for snipers shopfd begin. They had
been about to emerge and beat a hasty
retreat, when Sarros rode out at the
gate, and with a rush they followed,
irninlnar the shtptvniu ir> tint,. ,? hn ma.
nesses to the dictator's downfall.
For a moment they hod paused, huddled
on the sidewalk behind their officer,
who, turning to scout the street
up and down, beheld John Stuart Webster
standing by the gate with an automatic
In his hand. At the same Instant
Webster's attention had been attracted
to the little band on the sidewalk
; In their leader he recognized no
less a personage than his late acquaintance,
the fire eating Papt. Jose Benavldes.
Colncldentally Benavldes recognised
Webster.

ster realized the issue was about
to be decided, that If he would i
have it In his favor, he should waste
not one split-second before killing the
mercurial Benavides as the lntter
stood staring at him. It was not a
question, now. of who should bent the ',
other to the draw, for each had already
filled his hand. It was a ques- 11
tion, rather, as to who should recover i
first from his astonishment. If Bonn- .
vldes decided to let bygones be bygones
and retreat without tiring u |
shot, then Webster was quite willing j
to permit him to pass unmolested; In- i
deed, such was his aversion to shoot- i
Ing any man, so earnestly did he hope J
the Sobrantean would consider that
discretion was the better part of valor,
that he resolved to Inculcate that Idea
in the Hotspur.
"Captain Benavides," he said suavely,
"your cause is lost. If you care to
escape aboard the steamer, I will see '
to It that you are not removed from
her before she snil^ if you care 10
surrender to me now. I give you my
word of honor you will not be executed."
Benavides might have had, and
doubtless did have, his faults, but
cowardice was not one of them. And he j
did have the Kliost of a sense of humor.
An evil smile tlitted over his j
olive features.
"Without tnklnp Into consideration
the bayonets at my hack," he replied,
"It strikes ine the odds are even now.
And yet you patronize me."
