CHAPTER XVI. Continued.
"Bravo!" cries Jack; "such sublime
-rourago must always command my re
spect. I am at your side, senor. If
there are ladles to protect, every man
here, I am sure, will do his duty."
Jack undoubtedly meaiiB every
word, although he dresses his lan
guage In this bombastic manner In or
der to match Hoblado, who, Impressed
with the fact that his devotion to duty
as a Spanish gentleman has borne
fruit, eagerly reaches out his long thin
hand.
"Sir, I salute you. Such sentiments
of lofty courage must always bind the
hearts of bravo ineit la n common
brotherhood. There are four of us
nay, six to stand against the enemy.
Wo will be a match for all they can
bring against us."
"Tho battle, or massacre, whichever
It may be, still goes on," remarks
Spencer, who thus enters Into the con
versation for the first time.
"Then let us bo making ready
against a possible attack, for I am
strongly Inclined to believe some of
the rebels will find their way along
tho hack trail, looking for us, as tho
absence of my carriage from th6 train
3s sure to bo noticed."
Hurrying to the side of tho compart
ment, they proceed to do whatever is
possible In order to protect tho In
terior. AH work with a vim cushions
are utilized, tho guard brings various
articles from, his den, and In a very
brief spaco of tlmo quite a respectable
showing Is made.
"Come," says Jack, with consider
able satisfaction, when Smithers ap
pears with his arms filled with more
"truck" with which to fill the cracks
and crannies, "wo are doing nobly, my
lear fellow. But, honeBtly, do you
Imagine there Is any possibility of our
being attacked here?" lowering his
voice to a whisper.
"Well, it wouldn't surprise mo," re
joins tho other,slowly and seriously.
"But. If It should come they are
vour friends, you know would you
open flro on them?" continues Trav
el's, seeking to cut a Gordian knot by
tho most direct method.
"Not If they were Gomez and his
men. I know them well, and their bat
tle cry of Cuba libra is music to my
. -oars. But there are others, sir."
"Others! You mean the Spanish
soldiers may retreat this way?"
"Not at all. Havo you not heard of
tho guerrllleros tho men who fight
under no. flag, who war upon every
one they meet, robbing paclflco nnd
belligerent alike?" -
"Yes, I have heard of theso devils.
"Hut why should you fear that they
may descend upon us?" Inquires Trav
ers. They are standing Just outside
iho carriage, with Ah Sin and the
Kiiard near by, ready to enter at any
1lmo should It be necessary, and as
their conversation Is carried on In low
tones, tho chances of Its being over
heard are slight Indeed.
"These human birds of prey seem
to havo inside information as to when
a battlo Is about to take place, and
they hang round like dogs waiting to
Tilck up tho ci umbs from the master's
table. I only hope somo day both Go
mez and the Spaniards will turn round
and hunt these miserable go-betweens
"The guerrllleros arc herel"
3o tho death. If they aro In the neigh
borhood and seo us, wo must expect
io fight for our lives."
"Now I understand what you mean.
Tho fires will draw them."
"That Is a fact, sir, if they como
nt all."
"What wo meant for our preserva
tion may prove our ruin. Well.it often
hnppens so. Perhaps It might bo wlso
to extinguish them; and remain in the
tlark. Wo could havo them ready to
lipht If we heard a train coming."
"I should feel more at ease, sir. If
yon knew these guerrllleros as well as
I do, joii would bo fully as anxious to
avoid discovery by them, It It could
be done."
"Perhaps I am even more so, since I
have something to think of that does
not bother your mind, Smithers"
turning his thumb over his shoulder In
Iho direction of the carrlago, and tho
agent knows what ho means.
"Suppose we call Senor Roblado out,
then, and put him In possession of the
facta?" continues Jack. "Whatever ho
decides, that wo will do."

ply, and Jack notices that his com
panion appears to bo looking rarnostly
beyond tho fire, shading his eyes with
his hand In order that he may see tho
better.
"What hns struck you?" ho de
mands, quickly.
"I am afraid, sir, your suggestion,
though n good one, comes a llttlo too
late. Look ondcr at tho moving fig
urestwo, live, a dozen, twenty. Yes,
I am sorry to say we havo been dis
covered; the guerrllleros arc here!"
CHAPTER XVII.
"Guerra a Cuchlllo!"
Although SuiHlicrs' words aro star
tling enough to nlarni tho bravest.
Trovers does not show much indica
tion of such a feeling, as, following
the extended linger or his agent, he,
too, leadily discovers tho moving fig
ures. - ,
They appear to como out of tho
wpods In couples or llttlo squads. At
that distance, nnd with only tho fire
light to guide him. Jack can see that
they aro rough-looking men, some of
them negroes, carrying guns and ma
chetes; but that Is 'as far as his ob
servation goes.
How his companion Is enabled to
determine their Identity as guerrillas,
and not tho patriots fighting jinder the
banner of Gomez, Is a puzzle too deep
for Jock.
It Is a time for prompt action. They
will hn o to retreat to their rude fort
ress and mpet the expected assault
bravely.
"Where Is the guard?" asked Smith
ers. "And Ah Sin?" echoes Jack.
Both have, indeed, vanished tempo
rarily. Nor do they appear to bo In
side tho firo lines.
"We will havo to leave them out.
There Is hardly room for all Inside, at
any rate. Come, sir, let us enter."
At tho door they meet tho senor.
"What la wrong, gentlemen" ho
asks, quick to catch tho scent of dan
ger in the air.
"The guerrllleros havo come, senor.
I am afraid wo will have war to tho
knife," remarks Smithers; and Ro
blado, thrusting out his head, beholds
tho rough men already gathering about
the fire that Is down the Incline.
Ho utters a favorite ejaculation.
"Scnors, if looks as though wo aro
In for It. I trust you will not forgot
your promise to assist In tho defense
of the lodlos," the old Spaniard says,
hoarsely.
Several exclamations In feminino
voices from the dark Interior announco
that both Juanita and her stepsister
have heard what manner of danger
menaces them.
"You can depend upon us, senor,"
is tho quiet response Jnelr makes.
Tho two men enter tho comport
ment, and the door in barricaded. Ah
Sin and the guard 'will have to look
out for themselves when the storm
cloud bursts.
It has hardly needed the words of
Smithers to warn Travers of the des
perate business ahead of them, and
the only fear he experiences Is for the
s-afety of Jessie.
There Is a peculiar satisfaction In
being so close to this woinnn who hns
entered In nnd taken poshesslon of his
heart, although ho is under bond not
to betray his Identity. Jock rather en
joys the situation, or at least he would
If It were not for the deadly peril
which hovers over tho one he loves.
At any rate, ho Is deeply grateful for
the peculiar conditions that allow him
the privilege of standing up In her de
fence. Little Is snld wthln the enr; tho tlmo
for words has gone by, nnd action
must take their place. "
So far as they can tee, tho newcom
ers havo not as yet fully grasped tho
true Inwardness of the situation. At
tracted by tho light of tho fires, they
havo arrived at the railroad, to find a
carrlago standing there; but what that
vehicle of transportation actually con
tains is as yet but u Mirmise with
them.
Jack does not fancy their looks at
all.
Ho has been thrown in contact with
crowds of rough men during his life
on Texan plains and in Colorado
mountains, but never in nil his experi
ence has ho run across such a tough
looking lot as thosq assembling around
tho fire that was built for protection
and has betrayed its trust.
Fully half of tho guerrillas aro
blacks, and in tho firelight they havo
tho appearance of demons or gnomes.
As to tho others, the lenst said about
them tho better since their appearance
does not go far toward reasMirlng the
ladles when they venture to tuko an
observation.
"Do you suppose they will attack
us?" asks Roblado, with considerable
anxiety in his voice.
"I don't question It In the. least,"
replies Smithers, who develops some
of tho qualities of a loader in this
emergency.
"Then. If that ho so, wo should first
of all endeavor to piotecl the ladles
from flying lead. Col. Spencer, will
you kindly vacate that corner? Wo
can arrange It bo that they may bo
safe there." ,
Spencer, of course does so. Jack
Imagines tho man Is a trifle nervous
and scared. Perhaps ho has been
drinking hard, and Is not In good con
dition for proving hjs mettle. All tho
more fcaion, then, why those who
"i.te no such excuse should do their
hit
In nrranKlng tho cushions so as to
protect the two slrls Jack chances to
touch the hand of Josslo'Cnmoron, ami
tvHinrmid at the romarkablo thrill that
.seems to run over his whole frame,
Just as might a shock from a galvanic
battery.
"Come," he mutters to himself In
somo dismay; "I had no Idea It had
gouo ,ns far as that. This Is really
alarming."
Nevertheless, ho continues to carry
out his work, and Is rewarded by a low
'Thank you." that amply repays him
for everything.
"What aro they doing now?" ho asks
Smithers, who has been keeping
watch.
"Gntherod alout tho fire and talking
tho matter over, with mnny extrava
gant jestures. They seem a llttlo
afraid lest tho carrlago contain sol
diers, nnd that they may ralso a hor
nets' nest about their ears. But I atn
afraid the fiery orators who urge an
Immediate attack hnvo tho best of tho
bargain; for already somo of them aro
advancing, and, from tho way they
Is rewarded by a low "Thank you.'-
hold their guns, they mean business.''
It would bo strango Indeed If every
one within tho railway carrlago did
not In n greater or less degree feel n
sensation as If their nerves aro
strained to tho utmost.
Tho situation warrants It. Deadly
foes gather without foes against
whom ordinary methods of warfare
may not avail, and who will prove to
bo veritable demons once tho battlo is
on.
Quarter need bo neither asked nor
given, nnd tho result of the coming en
gagement must be a survival of the
fittest.
It is this fact that nerves the defend
ers of" the carriage to do their very
best.
Smithers Is quite correct when ho
declares tho most venturesomo of the
guerrillas are advancing to the attack.
The light of the flro discloses this
fact, and as the men at bay crouch
there beside the opening, wutchlng
this advance, they seem to llvo days
in tho few seconds that pass.
. "It would be folly to let them get too
close," sujs the senor, grinding his
teeth.
"You are right. Therefore call out
and warn them that they stand on tho
dead line."
Roblado is quick to accept this sug
gestion which Smithers-advances. He
raises his voice and sends out a hoarse
bellow. The guerrillas hear, and In
stinctively pause; but, as If realizing
from the tono In which they are ad
dressed that they cannot have soldiers
to deal with, they laugh his ponderous
threats to scorn. '
"Down!" cries Smithers, pulling
Jack with him.
Several shots havo sounded, and tho
bullets crash Into the woodwork of tho
car.

GRAIN RATES CUT
BURLINGTON GOES BELOW THE
EQUALIZING BASIS.
MEETS RATESJO THE SOUTH
The Evident Intention Appears to Be
to Make the Fight So Warm That It
Will Speedily Be Brought to Final
Determination.
CHICAGO Charges for carrying
corn from Omaha to the Atlantic sea
board readied tho lowest figure In tho
history of tho rate war. Lato In tho
afternoon tho Burlington announced
tho following tariff for export:
Cents.
Omnlin. to New Yoik, per 100 lbs..l4i
Omaha to Philadelphia ..,...'14
Omaha to Baltimore..... la
Omaha to New Orleans., ...11
Omaha to Chicago 8
Omaha to Bt. ,ouls 5
Tho Rock lslnnd nnnounccd through
rates 1 cents higher than these.
When tho warfare between tho llnoB
leading to tfio Gulf or Mexico and
those leading to tho Atlantic sea
board by way of Chicago started tho
Burlington tariff was 11 cents to Chi
cago. Tho through rato was 25
cents to Now York. After tho east
ern trunk lines hnd given authority
to their western connections to mako
figures to get tho business, tho Mil
waukee & St. Paul, Great Western,
Burlington and Rock Island issued
tariffs of 186 cents to Now York
from Omaha and 17 cents to Balti
more. Tho last shisii Is a full 4
cents and shows tho desperate char
acter of tho struggle In progress for
tho trnfllo of tho corn belt. Tho cut
Is Just twice ns deep as had been ex
pected. On Wednesday tho Missouri Pacific
reduced Its rates from Omaha to Now
Orleans from 13V to It cents. It
was expected that tho Chicago lines
would cut their figures to tho Atlantic
seaboard to correspond, but tho Bur
lington not only meets tho figure, but
goes Vi cents better.
At tho cilices of tho Chicago, Mil
waukee & St. Paul it was said that
the cut of tho Missouri Pacific had
not been mot. Considerable surprise
wns expressed when the freight ofll
cials wero informed of tho nctlon of
the Burlington. Prom the outset tho
fre'ght ofllclals of tho Burlington hnvo
been opposed to demoralizing rates on
account of tho attltudo of the Mis
souri Pacific. They believed the
troublo would blow over after a few
days, but when tho other lines made
a rato of 18& cents" In connection
with tho seabcarl roads tho Burling
ton followed. The 'ust cut of the Mis
souri Pacific caused numerous con
ferences nnd the reductions an
nounced lato in tho day showed that
tho Burlington people wero bent on
bringing tho contest to a close by
making It so extremely hot that every
one would be willing to drop.
