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

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 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. (Copyright, tHl, Harper 4 Brothert)

OREGON. 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.
Charley Hornbostel, Indiana uni
versity's great half-mller, hopes to
take up graduate studies in Boston
after the current track season.
Snohomish county, Washington, has
an annual rainfall of 160 Inches.
