Montana, with Mateo Fubri and Brother Pascual, plant to eteal the emerald crown of Our Lady from the governor of Duraya, who himtelf had etnlen it from the churrh. hinteo and Pat eual come tn Montana's room in the inn for a talk. They hip to return the crown to Bishop EmiHano. Chapter 18 CAREFUL PLAN ITTB NEED," a!d Montana, 'a 1 V man to hold our horses In the right place. Pascual will do It for is. Wa also need 'aoup.' Hava aome lynamlta boiled down during tha lay to get It, Mateo. Get the fuse ind the rest we'll need to blow r late, and sime yellow soap to run a nold." "What safe?" asked the bandit. "Up In the tower la the room of ihe governor, with hla office In front f It. And In a corner of the room there la an old ssfe, but a strong one." "Are the emeralds In that safe?" tsked Rubrlz. "How can I tell? But if they're lot In that safe, where would they be. friend?" "Very well. That Is one thing learned. What else?" "Here la a plan of the Inside of Ihe fort Every room and every gal- They paused, out of cry Is marked down. And all the lourts. And the sentry posts are Barked In red, you see?" "I see," said Rubrli, poring over Ihe plan. "All that we need, now, Is I pair of wlnga to fly over Ihe walls, nless the sentries are ready to Ihoot us out of the air." "Come to meet me, tonight. Just ifter dark, at this same place. Or wait here the rest of the day with Be," said Montana. "Pascual can let the horses, In the meantime. He ran keep them down In the willowi by the bank of the river. You know where the wlllowa are thickest, down there, Pascual?" "I know," agreed the friar. "Ay, but how to get Into the fort?" lemanded Rubrli. "That will be managed. I know I certain way to tap on a certain postern down at the bottom of the rail above the river. And my tap will bring out a certain sergeant with a smile on his (ace and his ands empty. If be leavea tha door pen behind him, can we trust our lelves to get Inside, friend?" p UBRIZ began to sweat. Ills face shone almost as brightly as hla lyes. "What lies Inside the door?" he isked. "A guardroom with two private loldlers Inside." "And these two?" "There are only two of them, Mateo." "Ay. but two can a!arm ten thou sand." "There was never any good plan without a little rlfk In It." an swered EI Kred, shrugging his shoulders. "Look! muttered Rubrli to Pas cual. "He Is a devil, eh?" "He does a work In the name of a kind God," said the friar devoutly. "And how do you know that the fool of a sargfnnt will opeu the door when you tap?"

He's only a mas In love." "Hal, brother! And you know the girl a little better than he knows her?" "Five hundred dollars worth bet ter. That's all." "It's a good bit of difference." "He's told her that If she ever comes to that postern and raps on It In a certain rhythm, he'll be out Instantly, and have her In his arms. It he should put his hands on Mateo tiuDnz, insieaa, mat woma dc uniy his hard luck, I'd say!" Down among the willows the light thickened earlier and there waa a tone of green added to the gloom. Here, as the day ended with Its sud den fires In the sky, Rubrlz and Mon tana met the big friar. Brother Pascual was gravely and deeply excited. He led his own mule, the great black stallion of Rubrlz, and that red-allk beauty, the mare of the Kid. As the darkness seemed to lift In a wave that closed at last over the walls of Fort Duraya, the friar said: "If I could go with you, friends, it seems to me that I should be happier than any other man in the world." "Three men can be teen where two might slip by," answered Mon tana. "And knowing that you're out here, waiting, will make us that much stronger if we ever get insldi the fort." WAIT for us till the morning,' ' said Rubrlz. "Then wait again, tomorrow evening. If we have nol come by that midnight, go your way and forget us. Give my stallion t the blBhop, If he's brave enough to ride the black horse." a common Impulse. "And take the red mare," aald Montana, "a good two days' march Into the mountains. When you come to grass and water, and no man's house In sight, turn her loose with out a strap on her back." "I shall do It," said the friar. "I swear uiyler the eye of Heaven. Brothers, give me your bands." They were given to him, and ha exclaimed In hla great deep voice: "We three are bound together. The warmth of our blood commingles and the breath of one spirit moves In us. There la more than the strength of earth In us. Bishop Emlllano prays for you tonight. Ba strong. Be patient. And 1 shall wait here and pray In my turn. If only I could fill my hands In this work. In stead of filling my throat with words!" When the honest friar had fin ished speaking, the quick dark of the night already had closed over the town, and Montana and Rubrli went up the slope towards the fort through the first blackness. They were close to the black and rigid heights of the fort wall when they paused, out of a common Im pulse, and looked behind them. All the stars were shining except to wards the east and south, where thick clouds had unfurled close to the horizon. Perhaps a storm was moving up from that direction. But all was placid and the nlgnt was so windless near by that they could see the thin faces of the stars In the shallows of the river loop near the wlllowa where the good brother Pascual was watting for them. "Now, 1 tell you this," said Rubrli. softening his mighty voice to se crecy. "It Is better to have the naked prayers of a fellow like that Pascual than a hundred strong men at your . back."
