CHAPTER II.
Spanish Gold.
The twins were seven years old when
Donna Isabel's schemes bore their first
bitter fruit, and the occasion was
particularly uproarious night when
Don Esteban entertained s crowd of
bis Castillan friends. Little Rosa was
wakened at a late hour by the laugh
ter and shouts of her father's guests.
She was afraid, for there was some
thing strange about the voices, some
quality to them which was foreign to
the child's experience. Creeping Into
her brother's room, she awoke hlra, and
together they listened. Boss began to
whimper, and when Esteban tried to
reassure her his own voice was thin
and reedy from fright
In the midst of their agitation they
beard some one weeping ; there came s
rush of feet down the hallway, and the
next Instant Evangeline flung herself
Into the room. I
She fell upon her knees before them.
"Little master t Little mistress I" she j
sobbed. "Ton will save me, won't you! ;
We love each other, eh? See then,
what a crime this 1st Say that yon j
will save me I" j
The children were frightened, but
they managed to quaver: "What has j
happened T Who has harmed your
"Don Pablo Pesa," wept the negress.
"Your father has sold me to him lost .
me at cards. Oh, I shall die 1 Sebas-.
tlan won't believe It He is praying. t
"Your Father Has Sold Me to Him!"
And Asenslo But what can they do
to help me? Ton alone can save me.
Ton won't let Don Pablo take me
away? It would kill me," I
"Wait!" Esteban scrambled out of
bed and stood before his dusky nurse
and playmate. "Don't cry any more.
Til tell papa that you don't like Don
Pablo."
Bosa followed. "Tea. come along,
brother," she cried, shrilly. "We'll tell 1
Don Pablo to go home and leave our
Evangellna." j
"Uy blessed doves I Bat will they ,
listen to you?" moaned the slave. I
"Papa does whatever we ask," they
assured her, gravely. "If he should
growl well oome back and hide you In 1
the big wardrobe where nobody will
ever find you." Then hand In hand,
with their long nightgowns lifted to I
their knees, they pattered out Into the
hall and down toward the living room, ,
whence came the shouting and the '
laughter.
Don Mario de Castano, who was fac
ing the door, stopped In the midst of a
ribald song to cry: "God be praised ! i
Whafs this I see?" I
The others looked and then burst
Into merriment, for across the Utter of
cards and dice and empty glasses they
aaw a dimpled gtri and boy, as like as
two peas. They were just out of bed ;
they were peering through the smoke,
apdbljnklng like two little owls.
SoT Ton awaken the household
with your songs," some one chlded Don
Mario.
"Two cherubs from heaven," another
exclaimed.
But the father lurched forward, a
frown upon his face. "What is this, my
dearer he inquired, thickly. "Bun
back to your beds. This is no place
for you."
"We love Evangeline," piped the
twins. "You must not let Don Pablo
have her If you please."
"Evangeline?"
They codded. "We love her. . . .
flngers. Although the Spaniard was a
strong man, he ottered a cry of pain.
At this indignity to a guest Esteban
flew into a fury. "Paacho I" he cried.
""Hoi Pancho!" When die manager
came running, Esteban explained:
This fool is dangerous. He raised his
hand to me and to Don Pablo."
Sebastian's protests were drowned
by the angry voices of the others.
"Tie him to yonder grating," di
rected Esteban, who was still In the
grip of a senseless rage. "Flog him
well and make haste about it"
Sebastian, who had no time in which
to recover himself, made but a weak
tWsUmee when Pancho Cut; to locked
his wrists Into a pair of clumsy, old
fashioned manacles, first passing the
ctuiln around one, of the. bars.px the

fron window grating which Esteban
had indicated.
Cueto swung a heavy lash; the
sound of his blows echoed through the
quiuta, and they summoned, among
others. Donna Isabel, who watched
the scene from behind her shutter with
much satisfaction. The guests looked
on approvingly.
Sebastian made no outcry. The whip
bit deep; It drew blood and raised
welts the thickness of one's thumb;
nevertheless, for the first few moments
the victim suffered less In body than In
spirit Ills brain was so benumbed, so
shocked, alih, ether excitations thai
She plays with us every day. , . .
We want her to stay here, ... She
belongs to us."
Accustomed as they were to prompt
compliance with their demands, they
spoke Imperiously ; but they had never
seen a frown like this upon their fa
ther's face.
"Go to your rooms, my sweethearts,'
Don Esteban directed
"We want Evangellna. She belongs
to us." they chorused, stubbornly.
Don Pablo shook with laughter. "So!
She belongs to yon, eh? And Tm to
be robbed of my winnings. Very well,
then, come and give me a kiss, both of
you, and I'll see what can be done."
But the children saw that Don Pab
lo's face was strangely flushed, that
his eyes were wild and his magnificent
beard was wet with wine; therefore
they hung back.
"Ton won your bet fairly," Esteban
growled at him. "Pay no heed to these
babies."
"Evangellna Is ours," the little ones
bravely repeated.
Then their father exploded: "The
devil! Am I dreaming? Where have
you learned to oppose me? Back to
your beds, both of you." Seeing them
hesitate, he shouted for his wife. Ho,
there 1 Isabel, my love! Come put
these Imps to rest Or must I teach
them manners with my palm? A fine
thing, truly! Are they to be allowed
to roam the house at will and get a
fever?"
Mere mention of their stepmother's
name was enough for Rosa and Este
ban; they scuttled away as fast as
they could go, and when Donna Isabel
came to their rooms, a few moments
later, she found them In their beds,
with their eyes deceitfully squeezed
shut Evangellna was cowering in a
corner. Isabel had overheard the wager,
and her soul was evilly alight; she
Jerked the slave girl to her feet and
with a blow of her palm sent her to
her quarters. Then she turned her at
tention to the twins. When she left
them they were weeping silently, both
for themselves and for Evangellna,
whom they dearly loved.
Day was breaking when Esteban
Tarona bade his guests good-by at the
door of his house. As he stood there
Sebastian came to him out of the
mists of the dawn. lie was half crazed
from apprehension, and now cast him
self prone before his master, begging
for Evangellna.
Don Pablo, In whom the liquor was
dying, cursed Impatiently: "Caramba!
Have I won the treasure of your whole
establishment?" he Inquired. "Per
haps you value this wench at more
than a thousand pesos ; If so, yon will
say that I cheated you."
"No! She's only an ordinary girl.
My wife doesn't like her, and so I de
termined to get rid of her. She is
yours, fairly enough," Varona told him.
"Then send her to my house. Ill
breed her to Salvador, my cocbero.
He's the strongest man I have."
Sebastian uttered a strangled cry
and rose to his feet "Master! Ton
must not "
"Silence!" ordered Esteban. "Oo
about your business. What do you
mean by this, anyhow?"
But Sebastian, dazed of mind and
sick of soul, went on, unheeding. "She
Is my glrL Tou promised me her free
dom. I warn you "
"Eh?" The planter swayed forward
and with blazing eyes surveyed his
slave. "Ton warn me? Of what?" he
growled.
At this moment neither master nor
man knew exactly what he said or did.
Sebastian raised his hand on high. In
reality the gesture was meant to call
heaven as a witness to his years of
faithful service, but, misconstruing his
intent Pablo Peza brought his rldlng
whlp down across the old man's back,
crying:
"Ho! None of that"
A shudder ran through Sebastian's
frame. Whirling, be seized Don Pab

he was well-nigh Insensible to physical
pain. That Evangelina, flesh of his
flesh, had been sold, that his lifelong
faithfulness had brought such reward
as this, that Esteban, light of his soul,
had turned against him all this was
simply astounding. Gradually he be
gan to repent the shrieking Injustice of
it all, and unsuspected forces gathered
inside of him. They grew until his
frame was shaken by primitive savage
Impulses.
After a time Don Esteban cried:
"That will do, Cueto ! Leave him now

doomed to fall ultimately, according
to Swedish press reports made pub

for the files to punish. They will re
mind him of his Insolence." .
Then the guests departed, and Kate
ban staggered Into the house and went
to bed.
All that morning Sebastian stood
with his hands chained high over his
head. The sun grew hotter and ever
hotter upon his lacerated back; the
blood dried and clotted there ; a cloud
of flies gathered, swarming over the
raw gashes left by Cueto's whip.
Since Don Esteban's nerves, or per
haps It was his conscience, did not
permit him to sleep, he arose about
noontime and dressed himself. He was
still drunk, and the mad rage of the
early morning still possessed him;
therefore, when he mounted his horse
he pretended not to see the figure
chained to the window grating. Sebas
tian's affection for his master was dog
like and he had taken his punishment
as a dog takes his, more In surprise
than In anger, but nt this proof of cal
lous Indifference a fire kindled in the
old fellow's breast, hotter by far than
the fever from bis fly blown sores. He
was thirsty, too, but that was the least
of his sufferings.
Some time during the afternoon the
negro heard himself addressed through
the window against the bars of which
he leaned. The speaker was Donna
Isabel
"Do you suffer, Sebastian?" she be
gan In a tone of gentleness and TIty.
"Yes, mistress," The speaker's
tongue was thick and swollen,
"Can I help you?"
The negro raised his head ; ho shook
his body to rid himself of the Insects
which were devouring him.
"Give me a drink of water," he said,
hoarsely.
"Surely, a great gourdful, all cool
and dripping from the well. But first 1
want you to tell me something."
"A drink, for the love of heaven,"
panted the old man, and Donna Isabel
saw how cracked and dry were his
thick lips, bow near the torture had
come to prostrating him.
"HI do more," she promised, and her
voice was like honey. "I'll tell Pancho
Cueto to unloek you. even If I risk Es
teban's anger by so doing. Will you be
my friend? Will you tell me some
thing?" "What can I tell your

It often enough, but you have lied, just
as my husband has lied to me. He Is a
miser; he has no heart; he cares for
nobody, as you can see. Tou must
bate him now, even as I hate him. Tell
me Is there really a treasure, or T
"Tell Me Is There Really a Trees
ure, or?"
The woman gasped; she choked; she
could scarcely force the question for
fear of disappointment "Tell me there
is, Sebastian. I've heard so many lies
that I begin to doubt"
The old man nodded. "Oh, yes, there
is a treasure," said be.
"Oh! Tou have seen It?" Isabel
was trembling as if with an ague.
"What is It like? How much Is there?
Good Sebastian, I'll give you water;
TO have you set free if you tell me."
"How much? I don't know. But
there Is much pieces of Spanish gold,
sliver coins in casks and In little boxes
the boxes are bound with Iron and
have hasps and staples; bars of
precious metal and little paper pack
ages of gems, all tied up and hidden in
leather bags."
"Tea! Goon."
"There are ornaments, too. God
knows they must have come from
heaven, they are so beautiful; and
pearls from the Caribbean as large as
plums."
"Are you speaking the truth?"
"Did I not make the hiding-place all
alone? Senora, everything Is there just

"Of course ! Yes, yes I But the Jew

"Tou would never guess I" Sebas
tian's voice gathered strength. "Ten

me."
German General Is
Clubbed to Death
COPENHAGEN, March 17. Gener
al von Arnim, former commander of
the German armies In Flanders, was
clubbed to death by a mob of infuri
ated peasants in Aech, Bohemia, it
was reported in dispatches received
here today. The murder of von Am
Ira followed his firing shots at peas
ants who trespassed on his grounds
Afterward the peasants " pillaged the
castle.
"I believe yon. I knew all the
time It was here. Well? W here is It?"
Sebastian hesitated and said, plte
ously, "I am dying"
Isabel could scarcely contain herself.
"I'll give you water, but first tell me
where where! God In heaven! Can't
yon see that I, too, am perishing?"
"I must have a driuk."
"Toll me first"
Sebastian lifted his head and, meet
ing the speaker's eyes, laughed hoarse
lj. At the souud of hit unnatural merri
ment Isabel recoiled as If stung. She
stared at the slave's face In amusement
and then In fury. She stammered, In
coherently, "You you have boon
lying 1"
"Oh no! The treasure Is there, the
greatest treasure In all Culm, but you
shall never know where It Is. I'll see
to that It was you who sold my girl;
it was you who brought me to this; It
was your hand that whipped me. Well,
I'll tell Don Esteban how you tried to
bribe his secret from me! What do
you think he'll do then? Eh? You'll
feel the lash on your white back"
"You fool!" Donna Isabel looked
murder. "I'll puulsh you for this; I'll
make you speak If I have to rub your
wounds with salt"
But Sebastian closed his eyes
wearily. "You can't make me suffer
more than I have suffered," he said.
"And now I curse you. May that
treasure be the death of you. May you
live In torture like mine the rest of
your days; may your beauty turn to
ugliness such that men wilt spit at
you ; may you never know peace again
until you die In poverty and want"
But Donna Isabel, being supersti
tious, fled with her fingers In her ears;
nor did she undertake to make good
her barbarous threat, realising oppor
tunely that It would only serve to be
tray her desperate Intentions and put
her husband further on his guard.
As the sun was sinking beyond the
farther rim of the Yuiuurt and the val
ley was beglnulng to fill with shadows
Esteban Varona rode up the hill. His
temper was more evil than evqr. If that
were possible, for he had drunk again
In an effort to drown the memory of his
earlier actions. With him were Pablo
Peza. and Mario de Castuno, Col. Men
doza y Linares, old Pedro Mlron, the
advocate, and others of less conse
quence, whom Esteban had gathered
from the Spanish club. The host dis
mounted and lurched across the court
yard to Sebastian.
"So, my fine fellow," be began.
"Have you had enough of rebellion by
this time?"
Sebastian's face was working as he
turned upon his master to say: "I
would be lying if I told you that I am
sorry for what I did. It Is you who have
done wrong. Your soul Is black with
this crime. Where Is my girl?"
"The devil! To hear you talk one
would think you were a free man." The
planter's eyes were bleared and he
brandished bis rlding-whlp threaten
ingly. "I do ss I please with my slaves.
I tolerate no Insolence. Tour girl?
Well, she's In the house of Salvador,
Don Pablo's cochero, where she be
longs." Sebastian had bung sick and limp
against the grating, but at these words
he suddenly roused. He strained at
his manacles and the bars groaned un
der his weight His eyes began to roll,
his Hps drew back over his blue gums.
Noting his expression of ferocity, Este
ban cut at his naked back with the
rlding-whlp, crying:
"Hot Not subdued yet eh? Tou
need another flogging."
"Curse you and all that Is yours,"
roared the maddened slave. "May you
know the misery you have put upon
me. May you rot for a million years In
hell. May your children's bodies grow
filthy with disease; may they starve;
may they "
Sebastian was yelling, though his
voice was hoarse with pain. The lash
drew blood with every blow. Mean
while, he wrenched and tugged at his
bonds with the fury of a manjac.
"Pablo I Your machete, quick!"
panted the slaveowner. "I'll make an
end of this black fiend, once for all."
Esteban Varonn's guests had looked
on at the scene with the same mild In
terest they would display at the whip
ping of a balky horse; and, now that
the animal threatened to become dan
gerous, It was In their view quite the
proper thing to put it out of the way.
Don Pablo Peza stepped toward his
mare to draw the machete from its
scabbard. But he did not hand It to
his friend. He heard a shout, and
turned in time to see a wonderful and
a terrible thing.
Sebastian had braced his naked feet
against the wall ; he had bowed his
back and bent his massive shoulders
a back' and a pair of shoulders that
looked as bony and muscular as those
of an ox and he was heaving with
every ounce of strength In his enor
mous body. As Pablo stared he saw
the heavy grating ccme away from Its
anchorage in the solid masonry, as a
shrub Is uprooted from soft ground.
The rods bent and twisted ; there wus
a clank and rattle and clash of metal
upon the flags; and then Sebastian
turned upon his tormentor, a free man,
save only for the wide Iron bracelets
and their connecting chain, ne was
quite insane. Ills face was frightful to
behold; It was apelike In Its animal
rage, and he towered above his master
Uka soma fublcd. cecal urfl. out of the
African jungle of his forefathers.
Sebastian's fhts alone would have
been formidable weapons, but they
were armored and weighted with the
old-fashioned, hand-wrought . irons
which Pancho Cueto had locked upon
them. Wrapping the chain In his fin
gers, the clave leaped at Esteban and
struck, once. The sound of the blow
was sickening, for the whole bony
structure of Kuteban Varona's head
gave way.
Col. D. II. Scott Dies
In New York Monday
NEW YORK, March 18. Lieuten
ant Colonel David Hunter Scott, as
sistant chief of staff of the Twenty
seventh division, died here Monday
from pneumonia. Colonel Scott, a son
of Major General Hugh L. Scott
commander at Camp Dix, N. J., was
ill when he arrived her on the Levia
than on March 6. He was a native of
North Dakota.
There was horrified cry from the
other white men. Don Pablo Posa ran
forward, shouting, Ue swung his
machete, but Sebastian met him before
the blow could descend, and they went
down together upon the hard stouts,
Again Sebastian smote, with bis mas
sive hutids wrapped In the chain and

Struck, Once.
his wrists encased In steel, and this
time It was ss If Don Pablo's head had
been caught between a hammer and an
anvil. The negro's strength, exceptional
st all times, was multiplied tenfold; he
had run amuck. When he arose the
machete was In his grasp and Don
Pablo's brains were on his knuckles.
It all happened In far less time than
it takes to tell. The onlookers had not
yet recovered from their first conster
nation; In fact they were still fumbling
and tugwJng at whatever weapons they
carried, when Sebastian came toward
them, brandishing the blade on high.
Pedro Mlron, the advocate, was the
third to fall. lie tried to scramble out
of the negro's path, but being an old
man, his limbs were too stiff to serve
him and he went down shrieking.
By now the horses had caught the
scent of hot blood and were plunging
furiously, the clatter of their hoofs
mingling with the blasphemies of the
riders, while Sebastian's bestial roar
ing made the commotion even more
hideous.
Esteban's guests fought ss much for
their lives as for vengeance 'upon the
slayer, for Sebastian was like a gorilla ;
he seemed Intent upon killing them all.
ne vented his fury upon whatever
came within his reach; he struck at
men and animals alike, and the shrieks
of wounded horses added to the din.
It was a frightful combat It seemed
Incredible that one man could work
such dreadful havoc In so short a time,
Tarona and two of his friends were
dead; two more were badly wounded,'
and a Peruvian stallion lay kicking on
the flagging when Cot Mendoxa y Lin
ares finally managed to get a bullet
home In the black man's brain.
Those who came running to learn
the cause of the hubbub turned away
sick and pallid, for the paved yard was
s shambles. Pancho Cueto called upon
the slaves to help him, but they slunk
back to their quarters, dumb with ter
ror and dismay.
All that night poople from the town
below came and went and the qulnta
resounded to sobs and lamentations,
but of all the relatives of the dead and
wounded. Donna Isabel took her be
reavement hardest 8trange to say,
she could not be comforted. Now, when
It was too late, she realized that she
bad overreached herself, having caused
the death of the only two who knew
the secret of the treasure. She remem
bered, also, Sebostlan's statement that
even the deeds of patent for the land
were hidden with the rest where ten
thousand men In ten thousand years
could never find them.
