PACE F5TX FYS'OPSJS: The llontann Kid end Mateo hubris, quixotto bandit, have gained entrunce to the tort at Duraya, expecting to Mteal back the emerald crown of Our Lady, uhich the governor had etolen in the flret place Irom the Duraya church. Ala Iflo ia teen, and forced to dance an a table to amuee eante officer, irho throw tnoncit ta him and diamine htm or a Mupld jirort. Mateo, hie pride crueificd, ie furiour 'TJA. Montana, kill me! I can't Tl live!" aald Rubrli. "To breathe lor ten minutes mora la too much torture! I am going back to kill them low." "Kill ono or two and bo (losged )o death by the rest?" asked the Kid. "I thought you were talking about revenge?" Rubric wiped hla mouth on the back ot hla hairy arm. So, gasping lor his breath, he drew himself back little by little towards calm. The Kid stood with hla back turned on the ugly picture. Afterwards he heard a murmuring rolce behind him: "You could have killed a few ot them. I would bare helped with the rest. Instead, San Juan of Capistrano, Da the day when I can put my hands on this gringo. Now wo work together, but after Kurds there will be a day!" "Are you finished" asked Mon tana, cnlmly. over his shovldcr. "0, to tie him In this chalrl" murmured Rubriz. Rubriz bit at the air like a dog, is though this last reproof cut doop ir than all that had passed before. But he spoko quietly whon he an swered, "I am finished for this night, gringo! And stepping past Montana, he actually took the lead along the damp little corridor to tht small door at the farther end. The aoot from the lamp had half-polsoncd the ilr; the foul sweet of It was I. the oostrlls of Montana until he bad o light to keep from sneezing. Rubriz, pushing the door open the lightest crack, pressed hla ear elose to the crevice In order to lis ten. After a long moment ha widened the fissure; he stepped right out In the apartments of General Ignaclo Estrada. And not a living soul was In them! It seemed to Moutana, as thu greatness of the relief poured ovor htm llko a soothing strfva o' warm TFuter, that therai hpd boon a pay ment made throitt the sufferings and the terrlKe shame of Rubriz, and that iow all would go smooth .y forward until they had escaped with the nrlze thoy sought 'TPHK guienior had done hla best. Hanging things pleased General Estrada. Ho had hanging lamps set about with the crystal of chandollera. Heavy red drapes ot velvet sep arated his bedroom from bis study. Two fold curtains swopt over the high races of the casements. And the four-poster bed was all gar landed about, as It were, with rosy and golden stuffs that might have brightened a bridal suite. There were other details that made Itubrlz scowl and Montana smile; a novo all. there was the chair of audlonce In the general's study, which waa In fact llko a throne, complete with a cushioned footstool for bis big feet. Rubrli locked the door a ad then went to the throne, where he sat down. Ills brown body, n. keu to the waist, lolled on a velvet-lined arm of the chair; his bare toes wriggled Into the softness of the footstool. TO PRESENT PLAY AT APPLEGATEiWILL OPEN STORE BIQ APPLEOATK.

"To tie him In this chair," mur mured Rubriz, "and then to bring hla eleven officers and to tie them up by their thumbs to that rafter, and to put fires under their feet, and to burn 'em one by one and let this Estrada keep tasting death for houra before he died do you aee what a beautiful thing that could be, Montana?" The study of the general was also used, apparently, as a private dining-room from time to time. The door of a cabinet waa open, and liquors of many colors gleamed from the bottles Inside. "But the aafe! The aafe!" ex claimed Rubriz. "All the Information is perfect except the one Important thing. Here I sit like a king a naked king and still we've not found the safe!" THEY went back Into the bedroom again. They awayed the curtalna here and there, vainly. Montaua bad given up hope when Rubriz pulled open a door and uttered a faint, moaning cry of Joy. It was a huge closet, large enough to be called a room, and It held only one thing, the tall face ot a safe, painted black and yellow. "It la here!" said Rubriz. "And we have the emerald crown, and then some angel or devil will show us how to get out ot this place and back through the postern after we've blown the sate door oft Ha binges. To work!" In (act, the position was ported, so that tt the explosion took place, the closet would confine part of the noise, and the greater part ot It; the rost might be muffled away by the pondorous walls and the strong floors of the "castle." But before Montana could set ."o work to run the mold around tht safe, a hand began to beat . j the door of the governor's outer room. Very clearly Montana could boar a voice bellowing: "Bxcollencyl Opel the doorl It la Sergeant Audrosl Thlovet bave entered the fort thieves or murderers! They have come In through the postern 1" "Rlsd softly be easy wltb the (tags!" said Rubrli, blttorly, to the Kid. "Now we are dead menl Why did I ever trust a grlngot You are all womon." It soomod the end to Montana, and as he-drow his guns he stared at the savage bor"v and faco of big Rubriz, and at the foolish luxury of the Governor's rooms, and thought that he could have f'tund a hotter place to die In. Thore were many mon with Ser geant Andres. They began to shake the knob of the door. "Ueat It down!" cried one of tht lot. "Beat down the door! Thoy have murdered the governor." Heavy shocks began to fall against the door. Boomln. tolBes echoed through the rooms, with the loud, qulc shuddering of the door apalnst Us hinges, In between. There was a noise ot cracking, splintering wood, but still the heavy pauels ot the door wore holding. And t: c away other sounds of running footfalls, shouting voices, strenmcd towards the tower from all parts 01 the cas tle. "There are the windows," said Montana. "Ay, ;f we had wings," said Ru brli.

THURSDAY, EXPLAIN TO MARTIN FOLLOWING REBUKE; ALBANY, Ore., Peb. 14 (AP) The appointment of Raymond C. Burkhart, democrat, to succeed the late Judge D. O. Wood worth as Linn county judge was recommended by the Linn county democratic central committee here at a meeting which j brought an explanation of the ac tion which aroused Governor Martin ; to declare he had never requested that the session be held. In a sharply worded letter to George Plnley, chairman of the dem ocratic committee. Governor Martin several days ago declared that con trary to publicity Issued by the com mittee, he had nothing to do with calling the democratic committee In to session for the purpose of recom mending an appointment which he, himself, must make. At yesterday's meeting A. S. Tuss ing, secretary, shouldered the respon sibility for the erroneous statement that the governor had ordered the meeting be called. Tusslng said he sent notices out in the belief the governor had requested the meeting, but said this was due to his misun derstanding of a telephone conver sation with Plnley who had confer red with Governor Martin.
