Chapter 25 DISCOVERY! AND where did you come by ellk shirt?" asked another. "I lost my pass and my shirt danc ing for the offlcera," aald Rubrli. "Hal! Are you the one?" They both began laughing. But the common soldiers, their faces like wood, showed no wish to smile. Rubrlz set his teeth over a groan of rage. "Well, open the gate for him be fore the weight of the door breaks bis back for him." "The sergeant has the key. Ser geant, open the gate for Luis Lapas!" The sergeant came out ot the lit tle sentry-box beside the gate. He was a big, slow moving, rigid man. He looked like a foreign soldier, not like one of the bomely Mexican troops. He set the key into the lock and then gave his shoulder to the gate. It wavered at tbe top before It began to sag open, slowly. Rubrlz, turning his head awoy from the ser geant, holding his breath, thought that the gate would never open wide enough for blm to pass through. Suddenly the sergeant exclaimed: "Turn your head! Look at me! Vou. I mean porter, turn your head to me!" Well, tbe scar had been covored with deep stain. It would not show, and tbe little rubber pads that welled out the lips mlgbt be altera tion enough to deceive even a man like this sergeant Or would he remember that night in the mountains when he had been Impressed to act aa guldo throuRh the middle of a atorm, when the men of Rubrlz were fleeing from Rurales? So, slowly, Rubrlz turned his bead, keeping It bowed down low under the door that weighted his shoul ders. The sergeant jumped straight up Into tbe air. With one hand he caught at hla stomach. With the other he snatched out the revolver which was bolstered well down on his thigh. "p UBRIZ!" he shouted. "Rubrlz! Rubrlz!" Rubrlz flung the i' the ser geant and toppled h" . and one ot the officers. Tin .0 leaped through the wldenl:ik mp of tbe gate and straight Into column of three squads who were oomlng up to the entrance of the fort! He plunged through them like a bull through rushes. Certainly be would have broken away even then, except that the very smallest man of lhal Utile column, as he fell, grappled blindly and caught with both arms one of Rubrlz' legs. The bandit went down. When be rose again, twenty men were apllllni over him.

HOT ROMANCE BY EVAN EVANS anchored that one let which b could grab. Then the arms of Rubrls were mastered. That was bow the miracle happened beyond the belief of any man that Mateo Rubrlz was taken prisoner standing without a wound on bis body, without dealing the slightest damage to any man except for a few bruises. They tied bis bands behind his back. They tied each arm to a guard. They hobbled his feet In this fash ion they led him back through the gate. Tbs news had gone down tbe brief slope to the town. The noise of It could be beard passing like a wave all through Duraya. Mateo Rubric was captured! This day which bad dawned so brlgbt and which had closed In the double darkness of night and rain, this was the famous day, after all, of the capture of Mateo Rubrlz at last. It bad seemed that bis story would run on forever, but this was the ending of It In the meantime, officers were running. Squads of soldiers were coming up. There in the rain on the parade-ground they searched blm and found the little sack of gold, ten pounds of It Also, they found a small arc of goldwork set with five big emeralds, like the eyes of a cat! TpHAT same Major Luis Alvarez - who bad flogged Rubrlz and made him dance was the highest ranking officer among those who conducted the search of Mateo Rub- tiiniiiiK Rubrlz flung the door at the sergeant rlz In the rain. And tbe clever brain which was hidden In his narrow fore hoad above his narrow face waa struck through with an Inspiration the Instant that he saw the five big emeralds and the arc of heavy gold. The obvious thing wus to carry the treasure at once back to the good Bishop Emlllano. The less ob vious thing was to report the finding and deliver the Jewels to General Ignarclo Estrada. People had been whispering some odd things about him and the famous robbery of the Church of Our Lady. And no sooner bad Major Alvarez seen the treasure than be straight way pocketed It and exclaimed, loudly: "This Is stuff worthy of go ing before the gonernl. Hnve we found Ihe church-robber, at Inst? Forward march!" That was how be marched Rubrlz away In search of the genoraL The general himself was not In the fort, for the moment He was out on one of his big chargers, leading a search In person through the wet willows beside the river, though every Inch of the ground bad al ready been trampled over long he. fore this by the eager soldiers. The fury of the general was so great that It left htm calm. He wanted to order the Instant execu tion of all the officers In Ihe gunrd room by the postern gate. And then he would order that the postern It self should be walled up solidly. His fury was strangely quallfled, none the less. For he could not help remembering that It was through this same postern that he had led ten masked men, on a certnln night. Into the town and towards the Church of Our Lady of Guadaloupe. When Major Alvarez met him and saluted, with Information, the gen eral merely snarled: "El Keed tell me that you have him In chains or tell me nothing!" "No," said the major with the calm of one who cannot lose as the game Is being played. "I can only report that I have Mateo Rubrlz!" (Copyright.

The "Toreadors." as the name aiR niriea, is fip&nlah in character and contains much Spanish music and dancing. It Is set in a Spanish patio, constructed for the operetta by mem bers of the student body. Senor Dlctorio, the very stern father of twin daughters, wishes them to marry two toreadors whom he haa never seen. The real lovers of .the twins are very much distressed at the thought, and plan to deceive Dlctorto aa to the worth of toreadors. To do this, they dress two ragged beggars as toreadors representing Senor 8wateo and Senor Whakeo who really are the greatest Dull fighters in Spain. Beneta and Juanlta, the twins are disgusted with their father but they feel they must obey him. The situation becomes very hu morous when Senor Dlctorio arrang es a bull fight for the fiesta. Since they know nothing of bull fighting, Senors Swateo and Whakeo try to escape from the grounds. However, they are caught trying to do this, so tbe bull fight must be staged.
