He aald: "We thould nave met before. El Keed and Estrada have things to talk about. And, to be Quick and short. Rubrli was carry ing away from a place we know about, one-halt of a thing which we both had seen." As be aald this, be put his other hand, In an unconscious gesture, over his heart "Now, then." said the general, "what Rubric was taking was re stored to a man who better knew bow to use it What 1 want to talk to you about Is the second half! Yon can tell me where It Is!" "Not yet!" exclaimed Juan-SUva. "Not a word more to him, my son. I've named my price and I expect my money." Be began his cackling, husky laughter. "Twenty thousand twenty thou sand, and every penny ot It back unless he talks. Twenty thousand Is 1 fortune, Juan-SUva." "Thirty thousand," Insisted Juan SUva. "Thirty thousand, and not a peso less. Thirty Is what 1 need and what I must have. It rounds out It eompletes everything It makes me free man!" The general glared at him, his mustaches spreading and closing tike the whiskers of a walrus. Still with bis glance of hate fixed on the old man, Estrada said: "Yon have the money, Alvarez, and you have another part, Lascar. Put It on the table." Each of them picked up from the floor very heavy bags. When they were dropped on the table the heavy wood was shaken by the Impact "It Is here It Is true!" said Juan Ellva. "It need not be counted. I trust you, gentlemen. I trust you perfectly. Maria old fool witch tie up the bags again. Thirty thou sand pesos! Thirty thousand " "And every coin of It baok," said the general, "unless El Keed talks to na!" "An, but he'll talk," said Juan Bllva, "El Keed bas seen my little ways In tbe valley. He knows that I could persuade blm to talk!" "Do you think so?" said Montana, deliberately. He pointed at the other three. "You think, Juan-SUva, that I'll talk to them and tell them what . I know about the other halt ot the emerald crown T Juan-Sllva, you think that I'll talk and let them take me away, afterwards, to make sure that what I've told them Is tbe truth?" The old man held out his two handu. "You," he said, "are children. Per haps there Is no other person In the world who understands how to move the minds of men and their tongues as I do. But we try the soft way flrst Shall I talk with him?" "Alone," said tha Kid. "I could make an agreement with you but lone, Juan-Sllva." 'DB CAREFUL of him." broke In the general. "This sort of a gringo devil, If he's cornered, would have the pleasure ot killing you be fore he was killed himself." But the old man held up his band and smiled at them. "Go Into the other room. Show them the way, Maria. Give them drinks. My friend, El Keed, will talk with me alone. Perhaps we shall persuade or.e another to something worth while." The general, nervous, glancing over his shoulder, left the room, shaking bis head as he went Maria passed It with them rnd closed the door, her tray of drinks shivering with a musical tinkling. "Now?" said Juan-Sllva, waiting. "If I go with them," said Montana, "1 go to my denth. I want a price for that, Juot as you want a price for my talking." "What price do you ask?" Inquired the old man. "Rubrls and Brother Pascual." JuanBilva smiled. "El Keed Is a good friend," said he. "And If they are set free If they are sent out of the Valley of the Dead what will men say of me?" "You are leaving, yourself,"' an swered Montana. "You have the money there that rounds out your fortune." "True." said tha old man. "But the valley remains as the source and the back log of my fortune.

"After that I can say a few more words to you and perhaps then I can talk with Estrada. I can tell blm exactly where to find the thing hi wants." "Good," murmured Juan-Sllva. Maria bad come Into the room. "Call Emlllo," said Juan-SUva. She brought a guard Instantly ts :he farther door. "Get Rubrlz and the friar," com manded Juan-SUva "Knock off thelt chains and their steel collars, and bring them here." Tbe guard opened his eyes, backed through the doorway, and was gone. After that tor a long moment Juan-Sllva fingered tbe fat sides of the bags of gold. In bis bright eyes there was more life than ever. After this long pause there was a tapping at a door, and a guard ap peared to announce: "They are put In the next room, sefior. Both of them are there." The Kid stood up from the table. "I've heard that they're In the next room. Let me see them flrst, to make sure. Then I'll tell you the rest, Juan-Sllva " HE HAD turned his back while he was still speaking, when he heard behind him a rushing and a flopping noise, like the beating of wings, and a little rattling like the sound of dice In a box. He whirled to see Maria with her hands fastened In the throat of old Juan-Sllva. He was vainly beating at her face, tearing at her wrists with his claws, while as she shook blm the teeth rattled together In his gaping mouth. The Kid ran for the struggling pair, but before he reached the spot, Maria had Jumped back and run from the room, leaving the old man with his head fallen on bis neck and a bloody troth on his lips. He crumpled, small as the body ot a ohlld, bis head resting across his arms on the table. The Kid was certain that this was death, but as he leaned over tbe body he beard a last faint whisper: "And tha damned shepherds freeze their feet In the frost outside " The last thought of Juan-Sllva was, In his grim way, a happy one. Ha began to slip sldewlse In his chair, and when the Kid straight ened the body again, the bead tell loosely and dead, dim eyes looked up at Montane, with an abstracted amusement And then tbe Kid thought ot two things the carriage which waited In the patio with the four steaming white horses, and that singular ges ture ot Estrada towards his heart when he spoke of the lost emeralds of Our Lady of Guadalupe. He was Instantly at tbe door in the corner, and, wrenching It open, he looked In on Brother Pascual and Mateo Rubrlz. They leaped up al the sight of him. "I knew!" cried the friar. "I told Mateo that It was your work. I knew " "Peace, peace, Pascual I" ex claimed Rubrlz, and be raised his hand to command the silence, and waited for the words ot the Kid. "Juan-Sllva sits dead In the next room a woman was tbe finish ot him," said the Kid. "In the room be yond that sits Estrada, and Lascat and Major Alvarez beside him." "God," murmured Rubrlz. "has consented to All 'my hands! 1 shall die happy, today I" "Follow me." said Montana. "If 1 have halt the wits of a child, I know that the second half of tho crown ol emeralds la under the coat of Es trada, near his heart. We must have. It before we leave. Do you hear me, Mateo? Wipe the killing out ot youi mind. Think, man!" "Estrada only!" groaned Rubrli through his set teeth. "Let the others live, but give me Estrada." "Koep hlra back, Pascual," said the Kid "he's turned Into a wild beast and I'll go forward with this myself, alone." "No!" exclnlmed Rubrlz. "I shall be as a child In your hands. Do as you wish. Give commands and I obey them!" They entered again that big room, "I am opening the door yonder," said Montana. "1 shntl ask Estrada to come In, alone. Stand one of you on each side of the door. Mind, tha others must hear nothing, neither Alvarez nor Jack Lascar. But as Es trada comes through, make him speechless." tCopyrtoht, tH, Harper 3 Brother) Tomorrow.
