We were his friends. I'onto hero and I his partners. v0 tried to save him. It was no use He was engulfed. He died a 'mrrlble death." "She una a small child then." said the in i "Yaw," said Hnrnandex. "Does -does aho remember her fa tlier -lllngton " Hardly.' aald Hernandet, "we've tried to make her remember but no she hardly does." The face of Inei Caatro waa still burled In her kerchief.

Hera." ba si- j claimed, 'here ara tha papers Lot us have a look." Inea straightened up. Hernandez and I'onto moved forward. So did the Urate. The audden movement aaeaed to startle the priest. He looked up hastily. He caught sight of tha blank face of the Brute. Ha rose "Who what Is that" he demanded. pointing toward tha Urate's blank countenance. "A aervant." returned Hernandet. "picked up from a shipwreck some three yesrs ago. He bad bean a long shoreman. He Is demented always so. thev told us. He Is devoted to us all particularly to Annette." Thn priest stared at the Brute and the Brute returned tha sture. "The eyes," said the priest. "I never forget eyes I've seen those eyes somewhere before.'' Ha tapped bis forshead. "Let me think when how" Finally ha shook his head. "It will come to me later." ha eiclalmed. The priest shook out an old and "sded parchment "Thle." ha Si delined. "Is ths grant the origins! grant." Hernandes In his eag'rneea. selied a corner of tha grant. Tha priest brushed hla band away. "Patience, am," ba said, "there ana be no delivery until I am satisfied This charge haa bean handed down to DM." Inaa pointed toward a paper on tha tsbls. -There'" aha eicUlasad. "Is my photograph and tha letter from tha governor of Martinique." Brother Anaelmo picked It up and looked It over. It was Annette's let t-r and It had been vlaed by tha governor of Martinique, and originally it bad been attached to the photograph of Annette lllngton. Now, however, gsnulna as the latter was genuine as was the guaranty of the governor of Martinique yet tha photograph waa tha counterfeit presentment of lnss Castro. "Ah. yes," he said, comparing tha picture with tha face of lnes aud tak ing advantage of the opportunity to aearch her very soul, "ah. yos. The Identification would seem to be com plete." "Then." said Ineg, "I may have ths ; grant?" The prleat folded up the papers and returned them to tha Iron box that bad contained them. Ha rose and smiled. "Notbiug In my life have 1 ever done,': he said, "without prayer and j sleep. This is an important mauer. It requires praying over sleeping over. Come on the morrow, daughter, and I shall then make delivery Until then adtos." CHAPTER L. Hlddsn Peril. I "Look." said Hernandez, catching ; Inez by the wrist, "the party has ar- . rived."

Thay will go to tha father of the mission ttllu Will UUthe men (mini "What difference does the grant make," she exclaimed, why take tho risk of getting It? Already that old priest suspects something.

"Wa need every advautage," ho said, "If wa have evidence within our hands, aha Grant -tha Original Grant" will have none. Without the grant without sll the evidence, we will not be believed. With It we will be taken at our face value. Let us get all wa can. Let us leave her without proof she will be help s then." Hernandes kicked Ponto with bla foot. Ponto sat up rubbing bis eyea. "Ponto," said Hernandez, "the party has arrived." "They will go to the mission and spoil It sll," said Fontn. "No," returned Hernnndoz. "thank our lucky stars the mission la a good two miles out of the village. They will flrat put up at the hotel later they will sturt out for the mlaBlon. It Ib then, on the way there, wo muat Intercept tbem you muat, I'onto. Vou and the Brute. Thla time ha will do hla duty or I'll flay hla hide. Wake blm up. You have no time to lose." Hernandez waa quite right. Annetta lllngton. even more eager than bad been bar encmloe, could hardly wait tha moment when she might stand be fore the fathers of the Sunta Maria mission and claim her own. Ponto woka tha Bruta with a vicli.ua application of the whip lash. "Spars him not, Ponto," said Her nandez." If he disobeys this time, cut his bids Into strips I give you leave." At a half run i'onto and tha Urate started acroaa the deaert, dodging bera and there behind little hillocks of sand. Finally tha village was cut off from their sight. "Now wa can run," Ponto cried, "make haste." No sooner had he anoken tba hjB foot slipped ho sank Into fl groun(i up to his waist. "Help." ba crle a qujckaand- nlr."
