2fow the men ran to and fro aboat the
room, dragia aside tbe beds aad star
ing at the pietarcs on the walls as
thoagh they expected to see as there.
"They are goae." said Jose at length.
"That 'Indian. Igaatio. has oonjarcd
them away. lie is a deatoaio sad not a
man. I thought it from the first.
"Impossible!"' cried Dom Pedro, whe
wai white with rage and fear. "The
door has been watched ever since they
entered it, aad do living thing eoahl
force those bars. Search, search; the;
must be bidden.1
"Search yourself." answered Don
Smith sullenly, "they're not here. Per
haps they discovered the .trick of the
picture and escaped down the passage
to the chapel."
"It cannot be. said Don Pedro again,
"for just now I was in the chapel and
saw np signs of fLm. We have some
traitor amongus 'Ko has led them from
the house. By heaven, if I find him
ontf and he uttered a fearful oath.
"Shall we bring the dops?" asked
Jose, and I trembled at his words.
"They might smell their footing."
"Fool! what is the use of dogs in a
place where all of you have been
tramping?" answered the father. "To
morrow at dawn we will try them ont
siiis, for these men must be found and
killed or we are ruined. Tell those
rascals to give up the search and go to j
Deu; it is useless. inenuo you come
finiet to mv room, and we tvill visit the
Indian and his daughter. If we are to t
get their secret out of them it must be
done to-night, for, like a fool, I told
that 'Englishman the story when the
wine was in me, thinking that he would
never live to repeat it."
"Yes. yes, it must be done to-night,
for to-morrow we may have to fly.
But what if the brutes won't speak,
father?"
"We will find means to make them
jpeak," answered the old man with a
aideous chuckle; "but whether they
jpeak or not. they must be silent after
ward" and he drew his hand across
his throat and added: "Come."
An hour passed while we stood in the
aolc trembling with excitement, hope,
jnil fear, and then once more we heard
; racks, followed presently bv the sound
jf a voice whispering' on the further
tide of the panel.
"Are you there, lord?"' the whisper
aid. "It is I, Luisa."
"Yes," I answered.
Now she touched the spring and
Dpened the door.
"Listen," she said; "they have gone
sleep, all of them, but before dawn
;hey will bs up again to search for you
!ar and wide. Therefor you must do
jne of two things lie hid here, perhaps
!or days, or take your chance of escape
it once."
"How can we escape?" I asked.
"There is but one way, lord, throng:
!hc chapeL The door into it is locked,
out I can show you a place from which
Ac priests used to watch those below,
ind thence, if you are brave, you can
Irop to the ground beneath, for the
aeight is not great. Once there vou
:an escape into the garden through" the
window over the altar, which is broken,
as I have seen from without, though to
io so perhaps you will have to climb
upon each other's shoulders. Then vou
must fly as swiftly as you can by the
light of the moon, which has risen.
The dogs have leen gorged and tied
up, bQ, if the Heart is your friend you
may yet go unharmed."
iNow I spoke to the scnor, saying:
"Although the woman docs not know
It, 1 think it likely that we shall find
sotnpany in thl chapel, seeing that the
lndit.n and his daughter are imprisoned
there, where Don Pedro and Jose have
grone to visit them. The risk is great:
ihaU we take it?"
"Yes," answered the senor, after a
moment's thought, "for it is better to
take a risk than to perish by inches in
this hole of starvation, or perhaps to be
discovered and murdered in cold blood.
Also we have traveled far and under
gone much to find the Indian, and if we
lose our chance of doing so we may get
no other."
Now one by one we climbed through
the false panel, and by the light of tlie
moon Luwa led us across the chamber
to the spot between the beds where
Jiangs the picture of the abbot This
picture, which is on a painted slab of
wood, proved to be nothing more than
a cunningly devised door constructed
to swing upon a pivot.

it was a sword 01 great beauty, as I
could sec, but of hardened copper, and
having for a handle a female figure
with outstretched arms fashioned in
solid gold.
"The machete was given to me by a
friend," said the Indian. "I do not
knotv where he got it."
"Really," answered Jose with a, bru
tal laugh; "perhaps you will remember
presently. Here, father, warm the
point of the machete in the lamp, will
you, while I tell our guest how we arc
going to serve him and his daughter.'-
Don Pedro nodded, and taking the
sword held the tip of it over the flame,
while .Toc, bending forward, whispered
into the Indian's ear, pointing from
to time to the girl.
"Are you white men. then, devils?"
said the old man at length, with a
groan that seemed to burst from tht
bottom of hbi heart, "and is there nc
law or justice among you?"
"None at all, friend," answered Jose;
"we are good fellows enough, but timet
ire hard, nnd we must live. Now, onci
more, will you guide us to the place
whence that gold came, leaving your
laughter here as hostage for oui

"Never!" cried the Indian. "Bcttci

ny people should pass to such as you.'
"So you have secrets after all! Father,
a the sword hot?" asked Jose.
"One minute more," said the old man,
aiming the point in the flame.
This was the scene that wc witnessed,
tnd these were the words that as
xmished our ears,
"It is time to interfere," muttered
the senor, and, placing his hand upon
;he rail, he prepared to drop into the
church.
Now a thought struck me, and I drew
him back to the passage.
"Perhaps the door is open." I said.
"Are you going in there?" asked the
girl Luisa.
"Certainly," I replied: "We must res
me these people or die with them.
"Then, scnor, farewell. I have done
ill I can for you, and now the caints
must be your guide, for Jf I am seen
they will kill mo, and I have a child for
whose sake I desire to live. Again,
farewell," and she glided away like a

Extracts Prom a Letter From One
of Our Boys.
Bohemia Nugget is indebted to
a. m aa
j Mr. Alt Walter for the WMOWta-,
; extracts from a very inJerearing
letter from Henry Umte one of
the Cottage Grove boys now at
Manila doing Unde Sam duty over
the seas, tinder date of Nov., jo:
In the opening oftht letter Mr.
Laadess tdb his friend Mr. Walker
that be was much surprised to hoar
' from hira, but goes on to state that
he has been even more surprised by
two or three others.
Mr. Walker, in writing to Mr.
Landess, enclosed a remittance in
consideration of which he requested
Mr. Landess to send htm some
KeepsaKe iromine 1 nnippnt.
Re-
ferric to this the writer from Ma- '
nila drops a very valuable hint to
jj, who are desjrous that they
. "
procure something from the islands.
Mr. Landess says:
"I hardly know how to thank
vou for your generous remem
brance the V; and you are the
only one wanting some souvenir ,
that seems to realize that our wages j
are small, and every little
thing is
eagerly sought after, and we are!
soon busted. I have been trying j
for some time to get some of those j
buffalo boms for Dan Harding, ;
but can't send them by mail.
One horn a nice one is nearly
three feet long and seven or over
- , ,.,, c tna -c Tt
lnches through. So you see U I
can get them at all, I will try and i
, . , , ;
get three or four pair, and send
them and send them home by a
fellow by the name of Parker from
Pleasant Hill. His time will be
out in about six weeks, and be is
going Straight home, and
promises
periencing in looking forward to
the arrival of the Xmas boxes
speaks of the Ilollio trouble and of
some detachments preparing to go.
He speaks of the kindness of Mr.
Wooley in fending them a couple
of copies of bis paper, and remarks
that the Messenger failed to
put in an appearancs at all, and
adds that the letters sent home for
publication must have been highly
(?) appreciated.
Mr. Landess . speaks of sending
Mr. Walker a Hawaiian nut, which
he says takes a very high polish,
and makes the very prettiest of
watch charms, and which cost
after being polished and carved, all
the way from $5 to $20. Refeir
ing to an account of a naval battle
between Dewey and Augitialdo's
ships, of which he read in some of the
latest "home papers," he says it is
all "news" to them, as "Auginaldo
hasn't got a boat that will carry
one good gun, and he hasn't got
the gun if he had the boat, and his
men are leaving him right along.
Why, some Fillipinos have taken up
arms against him and have
captured three or four towns from
him." Speaking of the possible
benefits of the Philippine islands to
the United States, he says:
"I believe the retention of the
islands by the United States and the
construction of the Nicaragua canal
by the United States will mark one
of the greatest epochs in our
country's history, and the opening
up of the West."
