"I haven! forgot It, and the general
shall know. Generul Bolivar shall
hear how he received that Injury.”
I stood aghast, for Pint, In the pres­
ence of witnesses, had given me his
promise that nothing of that unfor-.
túnate affair of Marncay should reach
the ears of the Liberator. Was he
mad, could he hope to gain anything
by thus breaking his word; would
Bolivar forgive him for that vital hour
of drunkenness that had cost us
Maracay? I did not think so, for the
Liberator was too good a soldier to
overlook so flagrant a blunder. I
waited.
“If there Is anything." said Bolivar
In a voice of cold menace, “which
should have been told to me that
either of you have refrained from
telling—”
“Tell him,” Plnl cried, “tell your
general about your arm; explain to
him how you were wounded.”
I Imagined the wily colonel assumed
that I would never mention the
¡ Señorita, which. Indeed, I had no In­
tention of doing.
“I am waiting,” said Bolivar.
“Colonel Plnl shot me, my general.”
Francisco, seated next to me, rasped
a bitter curse, and a sigh went around
the table. The Liberator leaped to
his feet. “Colonel Plnl shot you? You
Jest. Señor.”
“Not at all.”
"Was this at Marncn.v?”
“Yes, my general.”
“Plnl would doubtless hnve good
renson for doing such a thing.” He
turned a judicial eye upon the colonel.
“May I expect an explanation?”
Pint smiled. “Major Garde, I'm sure,
will make explanation.”
“I attacked him, my general.”
“Mother of G—d !” Bolivar gnsped.
“That Is." I dissembled, “my attack
upon him and his shooting of me came
so near the same instant that it would
be Impossible to tell which was cause
and which effect.”
“Was this—er—unfortunate affair In
any way related to the loss of Mara­
cay?”
“No, general,” Colonel Plnl lied; “It
was purely personal. We could not
have held Maracay with the force at
my command.”
Now Bolivar’s eyes questioned me.
It was not In me to explain to the
Liberator how Colonel Plnl had wasted
a precious hour In drunkenness and
In an unsuccessful attempt to win the
favor of the Señorita Lnmartlna; an
hour In which he might have made the
necessary preparations for successful
defense of Maracay.
“Colonel Plnl Is entirely right, gen­
eral ; that unfortunate affair was pure­
ly personal. I confess to having been
Insubordinate. I confess to having at­
tacked the colonel, my superior officer,
and I do not care to offer any de­
fense.”
Bolivar’s face was a study. He
must have known that. In service to
him and to Venezuela, I had given my
best; he knew that the Apure hat-
í tallón of three hundred Indians whom
I I had commanded was the best of his
native fighting force, for I had trained
them with the greatest, care. “Why,
then. Garde.” he questioned, “did not
Colonel Pinl make report of this on
his return to Tlnaqulllo?”
“That, my general, is a question for
Colonel Plnl."
Plnl must have realized that his
b"Tst of anger hnd opened up a dan­
gerous abyss for himself, for he smiled
and, assuming a pose of charity,
said: “One must make allowance for
a gallant soldier. General; our Ameri­
cano has been a bit Impetuous and I
did not report that hapless circum­
stance because I had no wish to Injure
him In your eyes. Our personal dif­
ferences will doubtless be settled as
time offers us opportunity."
Drunk, even, the sophist was al­
ways a good liar.
General Bolivar laughed, relieving
thereby an awkward tension. “I can­
not expect all my officers to love one
another; It Is not the way of soldiers,
for most of them are ‘sudden and quick
In quarrel’; neither can I afford to
lose one of them thus on the eve of
our greatest struggle. You will hnve
to postpone the pleasure of this con-
[ test between yourself and Colonel
Plnl until after we have won the bat­
tle of Cara boho."
“Aye, my general.”
So we drank again, and Monahan,
pinching my arm. whispered, “Any sol­
dier who enn dash a glass of wine Into
the face of his superior officer, and
get away with It, must surely have the
fairies working for him!”

Dawn came slowly as we rested on
our arms In the early morning of the
twenty-fourth of June, a day which
»light be termed the birthday of Vene­
zuela. We occupied the timbered
heights southwest of the field of Carn-
bobo, and watted to ring down the cur­
tain on the last act of the great
Colombian tragedy.
We hnd waited thus, six years be
fore, I remembered, nt Chalmette,
waited In Just such a silent gloom.
Brilliant victory hnd been ours, and
I offered up a fervent hope that I
might find myself again In a victorious
army. I knew that, upon the success
or failure of republican arms, rested
my success or failure In winning the
Señorita I^tmartlna. If we won this
Impending battle, then Venezuela was
open to me, and I could seek her out;
If we lost, I knew that I would go
down fighting among those Apure
bravos of mine, for I had taught them
to stand and fight until the last man
could stand no longer. Of my little
command, and of the British, I had no
doubts, but we were only a thouaund;
the bulk of Bolivar's forces was com
posed of llaneros, sambos, and of other
native troops. Some were good, and
some, I knew from sad experience,
were poor.
The sun glinted on the equipment of
the Spaniards, who were spread out In
battle array. They were possibly
eight thousand strong, which gave
them an advantage over us of two
thousand men; yet they were hireling
fighters, and our men were fighting
for their homes, for their funillles, for
the right to rule themselves.
General Paez, with tlft**«»n hundred
men, hnd been sent around to the
right on a flanking movenienL Gen
erais Bolivar, Cedeno and Plaza, with
a regiment of English rifles under
Colonel Mackintosh, occupied the cen­
ter, while m.v command anil a battalion
of llaneros were expected to hold the
right wing of the Spnnlsh army, which
looked to me to be composed of over
a thousnnd men—a task beyond us. I
knew, for we had scarce six hundred
soldiers.
The approach to the field was a nar­
row way, hardly wide enough to ad­
mit a file of men. The Spaniards
opened the battle. The approach of
the main body of our forces was In
full view of the enemy, and we lost
many men to their artillery fire be­
fore we reached the plain, where the
various units spread, each to Its task.
Under desultory fire of the right
wing of La Torre’s forces we advanced
slowly and took our station upon a
low ridge that commanded the plain;
where, according to my orders. I
placed my three hundred men In a
position which seemed to me best to
hold the rhlge when a general advance
of the Spanish nrmy might he made.
The Tiradores, and Vargas battalions,
and a brigade of La Guardia hnd gone
through the center to attack, with the
British legion under Colonel Mackin­
tosh following up.
The crash of contact filled the sur­
rounding hills with thunder, for Paez
and Cedeno struck—right and center
—at once. My men lny, their slim
brown bodies close agnlnst the ground,
and waited.
I heard murmured
prayers nnd oaths, and saw nervous
movements; so, while the air was full
o f the potent whine of bullets, I got
to my feet and walked slowly back
and forth In front of the men.
“Venezuela, my bravos," I said, "will
be watching you today; when the men
of Spain shall charge upon us—we
will hold."
I saw Bolivar's unit rench the plain
and close In behind the British legion,
which hnd already mnde formation In
the fnmous hollow square. As our
center, under Cedeno, broke before the
superior marksmanship and the great­
er numbers of the Spanish soldiers, as
Paez faltered and failed, I talked to
my men, urging, coaxing: “It Is only
the beginning, my bravos of Apure;
we fight today for liberty. To run Is
defeat and slavery; to stand Is vic­
tory and freedom. They will he com­
ing now; do not shoot wildly. Wait,
hold your fire until you can pick a
silver button on a Spanish Jacket—
and do not miss. For every silver
button you make your target a Spnn­
lsh soldier will offer up his life.”
With the aid of a glass I saw our
right wing, with reinforcements from
the rear, forming to offer battle to re­
gain the ground they had lost. I saw
fearful native soldiers of the center
retreating through the ranks of the
British legion, which, I knew, would
stand ns Britons have always stood.
I recalled that half of the eight hun­
dred men In the legion were veterans
of Waterloo, and I was sure the center
of the approaching Spanish line would
be strong indeed If It broke through.
Again the enemy met Paez, while
Cedeno reformed In the rear; and the
main body of the Spanish forces fell
upon the British legion, broke like
waves against a reef, and came on
again, while the right wing engaged
us. It was benutiful to watch the
grim silent Indians from the Apure
river. They held their lire until the
attackers were less than a hundred
feet way.
I recognized Adolfo, anil waved my
sword, and called to him to come o n ;
and my vole« waa drowned In a roar
of musketry. Then the bravoa leaped
to their feet and, yelling wildly,
charged with the bayonet. They
fought like tlenda—thrusting, driving,
hacking, shrilling weird wnrcrles, and
moving ever forwnrd until the enemy
broke and fled before us.
We took an advanced position upon
another lateral ridge, and prepared
for the next attack. Behind ua the
Held was covered with dead. I»ut for
every prostrate bravo there were two
of the uniformed men of Spain. Scarce
two hundred of our men survived, yet,
resting on their arms, they Inughed
and Jested among themselves, and told
one nnother how many Spanlartls they
had killed.
Then In one concerted movement the
Spaniards attacked all along the line,
hut Paez held, and the British legion,
though called upon to withstand the
shock of the bulk of Spain'« soldiery,
gave no ground; and the center of the
enemy line rolled back even as the
right wing struck us agnln.
The Apure bravos fired almost Into
the faces of the soldiers, after which
they leaped to their feet to meet the
Spaniards In hand-to-hnnd fighting.
There was a frantic heroism about
their ardor, a wild enthusiasm, a
maniacal luat for killing Hint inuat
have terrified the uniformed aoldlers,
who outnumbered ua two or three to
one, for they broke In dismay, leuvtng
ua ngnln In jMisseaslon of the tiny sec­
tor that we hnd been directed to hold
at any cost.
And the coat. Indeed, hnd been a
;rlevous thing, for lees than half of
aiy bravoa remained; I knew that the
next charge of our enemies would find
ua too weak to hold. I looked buck to
where Colonel Plnl, with more than
six hundred mounted men, waited for
us to full, and hatred for the man
.Hied my soul.
A body of soldiers disengaged Itself
from the British legion and, under
command of a captain whom* head was
swuthed In a crimson bandage, came
toward us on a run.
‘‘Monahan," I cried, "all honor to the
British legion!”
lie grinned. "That's the wny we did
the French nt Waterloo, son. They
charged and broke ngalnst our squares,
nnd charged and broke agnln, and old
Bony'a heart broke with them. It's
easy when you know how.”
He considered Plnl's force, a «cant
half-mile behind ua, and »wore softly.
"What’a the colonel waiting for,
Gnrde?"
“For the 'break,' my friend, then he
will gallop forwnrd nnd win a glori­
ous victory. These hundred men are
sent to me?”
“Sure; If you hadn't held their right
wing we could not have held the cen­
ter. Those bravos of yours hnve stood
like a rock, an unusual thing for na­
tive troop».”
“And have died,” I said sadly, "hold­
ing.”
“So Colonel Mackintosh offer» hl»
compliment»—and this hundred men—
nnd he direct» me to tell you that you
hnve put the white man's dogged hero­
ism Into the red man’s heart.”
This from Mackintosh, grlzzed war­
rior of many battles, was sweet music
to my ears.
The veterans of the British legion
hnd already been distributed among
my bravos, so, renewed In strength
and spirit, we waited for the next at­
tack. It came too slowly to suit us,
ao we went out to meet It—went
blithely, wildly, white nun nnd brows
—with eager cries upon our lips anft
the consciousness of Imminent victory
In our hearts.
After the first volley we met them
standing up, arm to nrm, eye to eye,
and the clatter of conflict filled our
little world with noise.
“We win. I think," said Monahan.
“We could not lose, my friend; yet
they move back slowly, In good order.
What we should hnve la a rout—an
overwhelming victory."
"In that case," said the Irish sol­
dier, “we need the mounted llaneros.”
That must also hnve been Bolivar’s
thought, for a body of horsemen, mov­
ing swiftly through the eenter, passed
the British legion nnd hurled Itself
upon the enemy, throwing the line Into
confusion. The six hundred mounted
llaneros of Colonel Plnl's commnnd
roared by us, nnd we waved our arms
and cheered them on.
"There he goes,” cried Monnhnn,
with a short laugh, “on to victory!”
The right wing of the SpnnlKh army
crumpled under the charge of Pint's
horsemen, crumpled and fled In wild
confusion. The desperate bnttle of
Carabobo, which removed for ever the
rule of Spnln from Venezuela, hnd be­
come a rout.
The wings of Bolivar's army, racing
acres« the plain, closed In to complete
the work of destruction, for nothing
less than complete destruction for the
Spanish would appease tlie Llbe.ator.
lie must have seen, at last, the golden
opportunity for a free Venezuela, and
he took no chance on losing. Few
Spaniards escaped, few prisoners wer«
taken; the rout had become a sin ugh
ter wherein the Indians’ lust for blood
was fully appeased.
Yet Spain hail taught them.
