A deafening report filled the hojise ; with thunder, and, an instant later. , anotli. r shot added volume to the din. • Senora Ybarra held to me for support. ' ••It, is murder,*' she gasped, "mur- J der . 7. My poor house!" I heard the'jhokin< cry of a man I in agony and the crash of a heavy j. body failing to the floor. T waited | for the sound of a voice, waited anxiously. Finally, It came: •T’oHto. ah. Mother Mary, Polito!" "You will notice, my sister,” said Poljto cisdly, "that It was not I who fired’first." ’ As 1 pushed through the portieres, the knocker clanged loudly on tiie front door. Dulce screamed at sight of me, for She must have imaginist that I was tin apparition, then she ran into my arms, x.i.hing and crying my J name. "Loren, ah. Loren-! Polito 4ms killed ; him. my brother has killed Ad<»’fo , Oyer the shining curls I looked at I Colonel Fuentes, who lay motionless In the sprawling posture of his fall, i •’A thitrc my own.*' I said ; "I’m , Iflo has only saved me the task of kill- * Dig ‘him." . < 1 loosed her aitd Lieutenant Lamartins proffered his weapon to roe. "I Will .be a prisoner, Senor—-eh ?" "Yes. Polito, for I fear there will I be .no cliunce for yifttr escape. Ihe j forces of Venezuela hold the city." As I stood over the prostrate man, ’ the pistol in niy hand. Colonel Pin! j appeared at the phrtien-s lie approached the Senorita and. cap In i hand, offered a deep bow before her. 1 "Maj 1 apologize for Manion. Senorita. for a madness must have possessed me?" "My mind Is closed to Marac-ay, Selior," she said coldly. Ah. what r-gal jHilse of her head, what limitless heights from which she looked down U|«>n him ’ He studied the still form of Adolfo. "Pretty quick work, major; you offer valiant service In aiding us to win the battle, of CSrabobo, and then you r .-h away to attend a few personal feuds that you have accumulated.- I congratulate you—a busier man I have never seen.’’ I was sure that Dulce would not tie safe In the city so long as th s man was commanding officer, for the rule of Valencia was martial law and <’<dom>l Pinl himself, for the present at least, was the law. I determined, therefore, to settle my affair with him . as quickly as’ possible. "Your word* X»f praise warm my heart, Colonel, for I have, as you Intimate. made a most excellent beginning; yet there are tnany important things that I must His eyes narrow cd "Who, rnny* I nA. Garde, will be the next t >n year list tiow that yi'j have vv.th the estimable Colonel FuentesT' "Not so." said Polftli. "Major Garde was not —" | "you will be her brother—no":” Pinl : laughed softly. f<>r there roust have j been a deal In this situation to please him. "One would Imagine that the Seitorlta laitnnrtina is well aquired." “Aye. so she Is. my colonel." I lied, j "and so shall she be. Ixvng ago Adolfo de Fuentes forfeited her Regard In J such manner as to render, a from me Imperative. As you can readily see, he has paid rojost griev- , ously for ttV It was my r;g! t. . Colonel." Dulce cried out In dismay and l’<> 'llto bent an astonished look upon me. , Nothing could t»e gained by charging ■ the lieutenant with the death of his commanding officer, and much, I knew might be lost. ‘‘The Lieutenant laimartlna,” I continued, "was anxious to take from me the honor of defending the Senorita. yet he was a prisoner, and I could not permit it; besides, a soldier may not attack bls superior officer—is It not so, my colonel?" "Os course." said Plnl abaentl.s "of course." His dark eyes considered J Polito, and I Imagined that I could • read the plan forming in his crafty ' brain. With the lieutenant as his prisoner he held a powerful card in his game of Woman that he doubtless Intended to play, for the Senorita*# ■ beauty had cast a sjwil upon him, and the love site bore her brother might be used. "This lieutenant prisoner of ours. Garde, must be taken to a safe place." “Aye, my colonel" "And I fear, almost, to give him in charge of a squad of Indian soldiers, for the men. of Venezuela patrol the streets of Valencia, and the life of Lieutenant Lamartlnß might therefore be endangered. If I may prevail upon you to escort him to the ealabozo and to deliver him into the keeping of Captain Ixtpex—?*’ \ "Assuredly." Pinl thought a moment *• You understand. Garde, that you will be held personally responsible for the prisoner?" "Have no fear, my colonel." There was apprehension In Dulce's eyes, and she whispered anxiously, as I bent over her hand: “Do you leave me thus. Loren?" “I must save PoBto," I said softly: •1 will return within the hour." I smiled reassuringly. “A little craft, my own. a little guile, and we have won." She gave me a divine smile, kissed her brother tenderly, and then we went out. leaving the Senorita and Pin! together. "Take hold of my stirrup. Polito," I said, "and walk beside the horse, as a prisoner should.”

We traveled two streets eastward and then turned north. "If*you are !* unfamiliar with the city of Valencia, Major Garde, I might tell you that the i, cjalabozo-lies southeast." •Therefore we go north, Polito, for I do not like ciihibuzos; and you must ! be very soon upon the road to Puerto ' Cabello." \ ' "Senor," he crt'efl, "you cannot do this thing! I cannot permit you ” “It is not that you permit, Polito—you are my prisoner. Your life is in danger, Polito, and because of. you,’ your sister, who loves you. Is in deadly danger." "Perhaps I am stupid," he said. "Don't' you see, my friend? Colonel Pini is at present commandant of Valencia, his word is law. If the fascinating colonel, whose amours are notorious over Venezuela, fails in his attempt to win the favor of the Senorita —as. indeed, be must—he will use, your life as a cudgel to compel submission on her part. She loves you, Polito, and. therefore, would save your life at any cost.'* “Must we purchase freedom at your expense. Senor''*' I laughed. No .harm will come to me. Clitsr up; I wiil’put you on the road to .Puerto Cabello. Then I shall return vvith all speed to Colonel Pinl, who tnay have other errands for me." Halting anon,, before a tiny fonda, I lifted the fat somnolent storekeeper out of a late siesta by' aid of a lusty yell. From him I purchased a simple. two-|>iece suit of blue, a wide sombrero. and a pair of alpargatas for my prisoner's feet. I helped him transform himself from a lieutenant in his majesty's service to a lowly peon. • We will look you up. Polito, some /lay. for peace will come to this unhappy country^now. Please rememlier tliat 'Major Garde has killed <’olonej Fuentes, so you may go back in s.sfetv.to y.<ur service. If the star of my luck does not forsake me 1 shall deal definitely with Colonel Pini before another hour has pnsstsl. Now-r---adios " He took my hand, tears in his eyes, then he turned and bent his stops toward the port of Cabello, I gave my horse Ids head and we nu-.xi through the streets of Valencia. t<> the .danger of all and sundry, for my mental picture of Pinl and the SettOrita was not a pleasant one. I had determined, nt last, to settle, my affair with the clever cohtnel. . • The Senora Ybarra let me in and. .•a j heard a murmur of voices from the chamber I stopped at the portal and. hidden by the rude |»oriieres. .llslvn.ll rhe xoiceof Colonel Pini was pleading, jiasslonate. Do m>t sjty my n.y lady." he erivd; -I was mad-'wirh wine that day In ' 1 for that I offer humble tU'ologles; Every hour since that moIm nt I have been filled with contrition Will you not. listen to my words Os pleilddlg. Seliorltii » I heard her frightened murmur, and Pint weiit on again: “I am a poor slave. Senorita. to my love for thee: I uni a moth burned In the flame of thy beauty. Slay . I ask—?" “No," she said, “no! Ah. Dios —always and for ever —no!" "When one is mad with Senorita. one might do regrettable things. The city of Valencia belongs to me. de.-irTlady : as commandant I hold the power of life and death over those within its limits. For only a small portion of your love that power of life and death will be put into your keeping.” “What do you mean. Senor." she gasped. “Will you tell me. Senor. what Is In your mind—ere I go mad?*’ ■ Assuredly ; your comely brother. Lieutenant Polito, whom you doubtless love with a sister’s sacrificing love, waits even now for the hour of his execution, for Spain has taught us how to deal with prisoners. It may be my desire, as commandant of Valencia, to save him." “Ah. Mother Mary!" she cried. "Is your design so evil a thing . . . can , a, man. pr<>f«-s>.iiig l»s hoe. harbor so v ’ stopped, her face flaming. sltth hands pressed against her tu»som. for I had stepped into the room. "I4»ren." she gasped, “ah, dear «—d Loren!" (TO VVXTISVED.) FORMER RESIDENT DENIES GUILT IN ALLEGED FRAUDS % 0 The following item from ’he Detroit Free Press was handed to the Journal office this week. It concerns a former resident of Syracuse: Asher L. Cornelius, attorney, pleaded not guilty Monday to chaiges of subornation of perjury in two aLegcd estate frauds before Judge Thomas M. Cotter in Recoidei s Court. Bail was set at 11,000 in each ca-e. He was arrested Sunday on a capias issued June 17 when he failed to appear. Two of Cornelius' clients who posed as the heirs ol unclaimed estates in Probate Court have been convicted of perjury. A Grand Jury indictment charges that Cornelius persuaded them to represent themselves as the heirs and commit the perjury. o The two big conventions being over, Chicagoans should have enough discarded planks to build several palaces for" the coming World's Fair. ’ • »
