CHAPTER X.
ITIIEKKIN CERTAIN I'EOI'LE MEET UNEX
PECTEDLY. SHIS enmo back from the void to
find herself lying ou a truckle
bed In n dimly lighted hovel.
Sho Riized up with uncompre
hending eyes nt two brown skinned
women bending over her.
Ono, the elder, was chaQng her
hands. The other, a lull, graceful
girl, wns stirring something In nn
earthenware vessel.
"Where am 17 XIow did I come
here?" Ilia naked.
Then she remembered, and memory
brought a feeling of helplessness not
wholly devoid of self reproach. It
was bnd enough that her presence
should add so greatly to the dangers
besetting her friends. It was far
worse that sho should have fainted at
the very moment whon such weakness
might well prove fatal to them.
Why did Hhe faint? Ahl A lively
blush chased the pallor from her
cheeks, mid a few strenuous heart
beats restored animation to her limbs.
Of cour-ie in thinking that she had
yielded solely to the stress of sur
charged emotions Iris was mistaken.
"What sho really noeded was food, A
young womnu of perfect physique and
dowered with the best of health does
not collapse Into nuconsciousuess be
cause a young man embraces her and
each nt the sumo uomeut makes the
blissful discovery that the wide world
contains no other Individual of su
preme importance. She hardly realized
how hungry she was until the girl
handed her the bowl, which contained
a couple of eggs beaten up In milk,
while small quantities of rum and
sugar caue Juice made the compound
palatable.
Whllo tho girl Manoela was furtively
appraising the clothing worn by Iris
jior mother was listening ever for
hasty footsteps among the trailing
Tlnos.
At last, with a muttered prayer, she
went to tho door and unfastened the
stout wooden staple that prevented In
trudera from cuterlng uubldden. Some
one approached.
"Is that you, Manoel?" asked Lulsa
Gomel lu a hushed voice.
There was no answer. The woman
drew back. She would have closed
the door, but a slim, active figure
prang across the threshold. She
shrieked in terror. The newcomer
was a Iirnr.tlluu officer.
"I think you are here, mademoiselle,'
he said in French. "I am come to
share your retreat for a little while.
l'erctmuce by daybreak I way arrive
at some plau. At preseut you and
are. la difficulties, lU.HJiijr --.
Iris recognized tho voluble, Jerky
(speech. A wild foreboding gripped her
heart until sho was like 'to shudder un
der Its fierce anguish.
"You, Captain San Bonnvides!" she
nHkcd, and her utterance was unnatu
rally calm.
"I, mndemolselle," he said, "and,
alas, I am alone. May I come In? It Is
not well to show a light at this hour,
seeing that the island is overrun with
Infuriated soldiers."
The concluding sentence was ad
dressed to I.ulsa Gomez In Portu
guese. Realizing Instinctively that the
man came as a friend, sho stood aside,
trembling, on the verge of tears, lie
entered, and the door was closed be
hind him.
"I am the only man who escaped,
mademoiselle. Tho others? Well, It Is
war, and war is a lottery."
"Do you mean that they have been
killed, all killed?" she murmured, with
a pitiful sob.
"1-1 think so."
"ou think? Do you not know?"
He sighed. Ills hand sought an emp
ty cigarette case. Such was tho cor
rect military air, he fancied to treat
misfortunes rnther as Jests. lie frown
ed because the case was empty, but
smiled at Iris.
It is so hard, mademoiselle, when
ono speaks these things lu a strange
tongue. Permit mo to explain that
which has arrived. We eucountered n
picket and surprised it. Having so-
cured some weapons and aceouter-
inents, we hastened to the uuny, where
was moored tho little steamship. Un
happily Bhe was crowded with sol
diers. They fired, and there was a
short fight. I was knocked down, and
what do you call It etourdl while
oue might count ten. I rose, ball:
blinded, and what do I see? The ves
sel leaving the ipiay full of men en
gaged in combat, whllo Just beyond
the point a warship is signaling her
arrival. It was a Hrazlllau warship,
mademoiselle. She showed two red
rockets, followed by a white one. It
was only a matter of minutes before
she met tho little steamship. I tell
you that It was bad luck, that a vile
blow. I was angry, yes. I stamp my
foot aud aay foolish thiugs. Then I
run."
Iris mode no reply. Sho hid her face
In her bauds. Sho could frame no
more questions. Sun Itouavldcs was
trying to tell her that Hosier aud the
rest had been overwhelmed by fate at
the very instant escape seemed to be
wlthtu reach. The ltraatllau, proba
bly because of difficulties that beset
htm In using a foreign language, did
not make it clear that he had tluug
himself flat in tho dust wheu ho heard
the order to tire given by soma oue on
board the launch.
. Then the lightning of a woman's In
tuition pierced the abyss of despair.
Surely thero were curloas blauks lu
this thrilling narrative. As was her
way when thoroughly aroused, Iris
stood up aud selxed au Benavtdes al
most roughly "by the arm. Her dis
traught eyes searched his face with a
pathetic earnestness.
"Why do you think that the launch
did not get away?" sho cried. "It was
dark. The moon might have been In
shadow. If the launch met the war
ship and was seen there must bave
been firing."
"Chere mademoiselle, there was
much firing," he protested.
"At soar
"I WOULD RATItEB
HAVE DIED."
The words came dully. She was
stricken agaiu even more shrewdly.
The gloom was closing In on her, yet
sho forced herself to drag the truth
from his unwilling lips.
"Yes. Of course I could not wait
there in that open place. I was com
pelled to seek shelter. Troops were
running from town and citadel. I
avoided them by a miracle. And my
sole concern then was your safety."
"Oh, my safety!" sho wailed broken
ly. "How does it avail me that my
friends should be slain? Why was 1
not with them? I would rather have
died as they died than live in tho
knowledge that I was the cause of
their death."
San Benavides essayed a confidential
hand on her shoulder. She shrank
from him. He purred amiably:
"Mademoiselle Is profoundly unhap
py. Under such circumstances oue
Hays things that nre unmerited, is it
not? If any one is to blame it is my
wretched coun
try, which cannot
settle its political
affairs without
bloodshed. Ah,
mademoiselle, I
weep with you
and tender you
my most respect
ful homage."
A deluge of
tropical ralu beat
on the hut with
a suddeu fury.
Conversation at
once became dim
cult, nearly im
possible. Iris
threw herself
back on tho tres
tle lu a passion of grief thut rivaled
tho outer tempest.
The girl, Manoela, weeping out of
sympathy, crept to Iris' side and gen
tly stroked her hnlr. Like her mother,
Bhe could only guess that tho English
lady's friends were captured, perhaps
dead. Even her limited experience of
life's vicissitudes had taught her what
short shrift was given to those who
defied authority. The republic of Bra'
ill docs not permit Its criminals to be
executed, but it shows no mercy to
rebels. Manoela, of course, believed
that the Englishmen were helping the
imprisoned Dom Corria to regain pow
er. She remembered how a mutiny
was once crushed on the island, and
her eyes streamed.
. Meauwhlle Lulsa Gomes was touched
by the good looking soldier's plight
"We must try to help you, Senhor
Capltauo," she said. "If the others are
dead or taken you may not be
missed."
He threw out his bands In an elo
quent gesture. Life or death was a
mutter of complete indifference to him,
It implied.
"We shall know In the morning," he
said. "Have you any cigarettes?'
"But listen, senhor. Why not take
off your uniform aud dress lu my
clothes? You can cut off your mus
taches aud wear a mnutllha over your
face, and we will keep you here until
there is a chance of reaching a ship.
Certainly - that Is better thuu being
shot"
