GHAPTKU IX. (Continued.)
The traveler looked at him fixedly (or
moment or two, tuj then laid hla hand
finuly on bit arm and pulled him toward
the table.
"Now, look here," he said to him curtly,
"I Intend to pa two hour In your hovel.
at all risks; I kno.v that between this and
Uven o'clock you expect a large party."
The landlord attempted to Kit a de
nial, but the traveler cut him abort.
"Silence," he continued. "I wlh to be
present at thla meeting; of course I do
not mean to be seen; but I must not
only ro them, but hear all they My. Put
me where you pirate, that ti your con
cern; bat as any trouble dcerrea pay
ment, here are ten ounce for you, and
J will tire you na many more when your
visitors lure rone, and I assure you that
what I nak of you will not In any way
compromise you. Now, l will add, that
Si you obstinately refuse the arrangement
I offer "
"Well, suppose 1 do?"
"I will blow out your brains," the
traveler mid distinctly.
""Hsng It, excellency," the poor fellow
auiswered, with a grimace, "I think that
I have no choice, and am compelled to
accept."
"Good! now yon are learning reason;
bat take three ounces aa a consolation."
The landlord, forgetting that he had de
clared a few momenta previously that he
Tiad nothing In the house. Instantly cov
ered the table with provisions, which. If
not particularly delicate, were sufficiently
appetlxlng. When their hunger waa at
length appeased, the traveler who seemed
to apeak for both thrust away his plate
and addressed the landlord, who waa mod
estly standing behind blm, hat In hand.
"And now for another matter," he
aid, "bow many lads bar you to help
jrouy
"Two, excellency the one who, took
your horse to the corral, and another."
"Very good. I presume you will not
require both those lads to wait on your
friends to-night?"
"Certainty not, excellency; Indeed, for
treat er security, I shall wait on them
alone."
"Iletter still; then, yon see no Incon
venience In sending, one of them Into the
Cludadr
"No Inconvenience at all, excellency:
what U the business?"
"Simply," he said, taking a letter from
bla bosom, "to convey this letter to Senor
Don Antonla IUIIier, In the Calle Mon
jterilla. and bring me back an answer,"
"That la easy, excellency; If you will
"hare the kindness to Intrust the letter to
-toe."
"Here It la, and four piastres for the
Journey."
The host bowed respectfully and lm
.mediately left the room.
"I fancy, Curumllla," the traveler then
aald to his companion, "that our affair
are going on well."
The other replied with a silent nod of
assent. The travelers rose; in a twink
ling when the landlord returned and re
moved all signs of aupper, and then hid
his guests behind an old-fasbloned coun
ter. CHAITEIl X.
The travelers had scare time to con
teol themselves ere several knocks on the
door warned'the landlord that the myste
rious guests be expected were beginning
tto arrlv.
The door waa hardly ajar ere several
iron burst Into the Inn, thrusting each
other aside In their haste, aa If afraid
if lielng followed. These men were seven
or eight In number, and It was easy to
nee. they were officers. In spite of the pre
caution of some among them who had put
on civilian attire.
They laughed and Jested loudly. The
door of the rancbo had been left ajar by
the landlord, who probably thought It un
necessary to close It ; the officers succeed
ed each other with great rapidity, and
their number soon became so great that
the room waa completely filled.
Aa for No I.usarbo, he continually
prowled round the tables, watching ev
erything with a corner of hi eyes, and
being careful not to serve the slightest
article without receiving Immediate pay
ment. At leogth, one of the officers rose,
"la Don Hirven here?"
"Tea, aenor," a young man of twenty
sat the most answered aa he rose.
"Assure yourself that no person la ab
sent' The young man boned and began walk
ing from one table to the other, exchang
ing two or three words In a low voice with
each of the visitors. When Don fiirven
3iad gone round the room, be went to the
jprraon who. had addressed blm and aald
wflth a respectful bow:
'(Senor colonel, the meeting Is complete
sand only one person 1 absent ; but aa be
did not tell us certainly whether be would
do ua the honor of being present to-night,
3 v
That will Uo," the colonel Interrupted ;
""remain outside, watch the environs and
let no one approach without challenging
Miu, but If you know who arrives Intro
duce blm Immediately."
"You can trust roe, colontl," the young
man answered, and, after bowing to bla
superior officer, be left tbt room and clos
ed the door behind him.
The officer then turned round on the
beaches and thus found themselves face
U face with the colonel, who had sta
tioned himself In the middle of the room.
Tfca latter waited a fw miaot till per
-
fect alienee was established, and then
spoke as follows:
"Let me. In the first place, thank you,
caballero, for ths punctuality with which
you bare responded to the meeting I had
the honor of arranging with you. I am
dellghtrd at the confidence It has pleased
you to display In me, and, believe me, I
shall show myself worthy of It; for It
proves to me once again that you are
really devoted to the Interests of ou
country and that I may freely reckon on
you In the hour of danger. You under
stand aa well aa I do that wo can no
longer bow our necks beneath our die
potlc government. The man who at thla
moment holds our destinies In his hands
has shown himself unworthy of his man
date. The hour will soon strike for the
man who has deceived us to be over
thrown." The colonel bad made a start, and
would probably have continued his plaus
ible speech for a long time In an em
phatic voice, had not one of hla audience
Interrupted him t
"That Is all very fine, colonel," he aald,
"we are atl aware that we are gentlemen
devoted, body and soul, to our country:
but devotion must be paid for. What
shall we get by this after all?"
The colonel waa at first slightly em
barrassed by this warm apostrophe; but
he recovered himself at once, and turned
with a smile to his Interpreter:
"I was coming to It, my dear cnptaln,
at the very moment when you cut acroM
my speech."
"Oh. that Is different," the cnptaln an
swered. "In the first place," the colonel went
on, "I have news for you which I feet
assured you will heartily welcome. This
Is the last time we shall meet."
"Very good," said the practical cap
tain. The colonel saw that he could no long
er dally with the matter, for all his hear
ers openly took part with their com
rade. At the moment when he resolved
to tell all he knew, the door of tb Inn
was opened, and a man wrappsd fn a
large cloak quickly entered the room pre
ceded by the Atferet Don Slrven, wbo
shouted In a loud voice :
"The general, Caballero, the general.'
At this announcement silence was re
eetaMIshed as If by enchantment. The
person called the general stopped In the
middle of the room, looked around him,
and then took off hla bat, let his cloak
fall from bis shoulders, and appeared In
the full drew uniform of a general offi
cer.
"lmg lire Gen. Guerrero," the officer
shouted as tbey Jose enthusiastically,
"Thanks, gentlemen, thanks," the gen
eral responded with numerous bows.
"This warm feeling fills me with delist;
but pray be silent, that we may properly
settle the matter which has brought us
here; moments are precious, and. In spite
of the precautions we hare taken, your
presence at this Inn may have been de
nounced. I will come at once to farts,
without entering Into Idle speculations,
which would cause us to waste valuable
time. In a word, then, what la It we
want? To overthrow the present govern
ment, and establish another more In con
formity with our opinions, and, above all,
our Interesta."
"Yes, yes," the officers exclaimed.
"In that cas we are conspiring against
the established authority, and are rebels
In the eyes of the law," the general con
tinued coolly and distinctly; "as such we
stake our beads. If our attempt falls,
we shall be pitilessly shot by the victor;
but we shall not fall," be hastily added,
"because we are resolutely playing a ter
rible game, and each of us knows that bis
fortune deend on winning.
"Yes, yes," the raptaln whose observa
tions bad, previous to the general's ar
rival so greatly embarrassed the colonel,
said, "all that la very fine; but we were
promised something else In your name, ex
cellency." The general smiled.
"You are right, captain." he remarked;
"but I Intend to keep nil promises but
not, as you might reasonably suppose,
when our glorious enterprise lias suc
ceeded." "When then, pray?" the captain asked,
curiously.
"At once, aenores," the general ex
claimed. Joy and astonishment so paralyxed bis
hearers that tbey were unable to utter a
syllable. The general looked at them for
a moment, and then, turning away with
a mocking smile, be walked to the front
door, which he opened. The officers eag
erly watched his movements, and the gen
eral, alter looking out roughed twice.
"Here I am, excellency," a voice aald,
Issuing from the fog,
"llrlng In the bags." Don Kehastlan
ordered, and then quietly returned to the
middle of tbe room. v
Almost Immediately after a man enter
ed, bearing a heavy leather saddlebag. It
was Cnrnero. At a signal from his mas
ter b deposited hla bundle and went out,
but returned shortly after with another
bag, which ha placed by the aide of the
first one. Then, after towing to hi mas
ter be withdrew.
Tba general opened th bags, and a
flood of gold poured In a trickling cas
cade on the table; the officer Instinctive
ly bald out their quivering bands.
When all th gold bad disappeared and
th effervescence waa beginning to sub
aide, Don Sebastian, who, Ilk th Angel
of Evil, had looked oa with a profoundly
mocking amlle, slightly tapped th table
to request silence.
"Senotvs," ho said, "I have kept nil
my promises, and have acquired tho right
to count on jiiu. We shall not meet
again, but at a future day 1 will let you
kt.ow my Intentions. Still be ready to
net at the first algtnl: In ten days Is the
anniversary festival of the Proclamation
of Independence, and If nothing alters
my plaua I shall probably chooso that
day to try, with your assistance, to de
liver the country front the tyrants who
oppress It. However, I will b careful to
hare you warned. So now let ua sepa
rate; the night Is far advanced, and a
longer stay at this spot might compro
mise the sacred Interests for which we
bar sworn to die.

Th Alameda of MexJco I one of th
most beautiful In America. It la situat
ed at ona of tbe extremities of the city,
and form a long square, with a wall of
clrcumvallatlou bordered by a deep ditch,
who muddy, fetid waters, owing to th
negligence of the government, sihals pes
tilential miasmas. At each corner of th
promenade a gat offer admission to car
riages, riders and pedestrians, who walk
silently beneath a thick awning of ver
dure formed by willows, elms and poplars
that border the principal road. The
tree are selected with great tact, and are
always green, for although the leave ar
renewed. It takes place gradually and Im
perceptibly, so that the branches are nev
er entirely atrlpped of their foliage.
It waa evening, and, as usual, tb
Alameda waa crowded; hanilsom car
riages, brilliant riders and modest pedes
trians were moving backward and for
ward, with cries, laughter and Joyous
calls, as they sought each other In th
walks, lly dsgre, however, th prom
nader went toward the llucarelll; th
carriage became scarcer, and by th time
night had set In the Alameda was desert
ed. A horseman, dressed In a rich Cam
preslno costume and mounted on a mag
nificent horse, entered th Alamedn along
which he galloped for about twenty mlu-
ate examining the side walks the clumps
of tree and th busbe; In a word h
seemed to be looking for somebody or
something.
At th moment when th traveler reach
ed the llucarelll tbe last carriage were
leaving It and It was soon aa deserted
aa the Alameda. It galloped up and
down the proratnad twice or thrice look
ing carefully down the aid ride and at
the end of hla third turn a horseunan,
coming fruca th Alameda, passed on hi
right hand, giving him In a low voice th
Mexican salute, "Santlsslma noch cabel
lero'" Although th sentence had nothing pe
culiar about It th horseman started, and
Immediately turning his horse round,
started In pursuit. Within a mlnut th
two horsemen were side by side ; the first
comer, so sooo as h saw that he wa
followed, checked hla horse' pace, aa It
with the Intention of entering Into direct
communication.
"A fin nlgbt for a ride, seuor." th
first horseman said, politely raising his
hand to his hat.
"It Is," tbe second answsred, "although
It Is beginning to grow late."
"The moment Is only the better chosen
for certain private conversation."
Tbe second horseman looked around,
and bending over to tbe speaker, said ;
"I almost despaired of meeting you."
"Did I not let you know that I should
come?"
"True; but I feared that aom obstacle-"
"Nothing should Impede an honest man
from accomplishing a sacred duty," the
first horseman said.
Tbe other bowed with an air of satis
faction. "Then," he said, "I can count
on you. No "
"No names here, senor," th other
sharply Interrupted hlra. "Casplta, an old
wood ranger like you, a man who has
lotig been a Tlgrero, ought to rememlr
that the tree have ear and th leave
eye."
"Ye, you ar right. I do remember
