.A tie rili busters of Venezuela..! Or the Trials of a Spanish Girl. By SBWARD W. fiOPKINS. X Copyrighted 1009 by Kobert Dormer's Soni. CHAPTER XXIII. Paying a Debt When, on tho fourth day of tho great torm, the flood had climbed almost to tho eastle walla, n great anxiety arose among tho royalists, for surely It Beom ed that If the waters continued to rlso twenty-four hours longer the Castle of Salvarez Itself would ceaso to bo habit able. But when, on tho following morning, tho rains ceased and tho floods stopped rising, tho lowor floor -of tho castle was still dry. Tho relief that Philip and hla fol lowers felt nt this was very great. Philip at onco turnod hla attention to "his neglected plons, nnd whtlo Qomoz and Don Juan Garza resumed tho plan -for pressing forward to tho Orinoco, to cross it and extend their powor. They wero thus engaged on tho day hat tho waters had fallen away from around tho castle, when Francisco "burst In upon them, frantic in some new excitement. "Your majesty I" he crlod. "Gomez! Don JuanJ A traitor has again como ocar ust" "What do you mean?" asked Philip, starting up and placing his hand on Tils sword-hilt. "Has Salvarez ro Aurned?" "Nay, not Salvarez," replied Fran cisco, "and never will, I fancy, for where would ho have gone to havo sur vived tho flood?" "Then who? If not Salvarez, who is tho traitor of whom your Bpeak?" "I know not. Yet that somo ono has "been hero there is no doubt The liorscs aro gone." "Tho horses? Gone!" "To bo Biirc," said Gomez, with a gloomy smile. "Wo might havo ex pected Buch a loss, though not by tho hand of a traitor. Above, tho storm I lieard tho poor beasts shrieking in their fear, and no doubt they had broken bounds and stampeded through tho water to look for high ground and safety. Of courso they woro safe onough, for tho stables wero not flood ed by more than a few Inches of water. But they didn't know that, of course." "Such was my explanation when tho thing was reported to mo," said Fran clsco "but unfortunately there is proof that I waK wrong and you aro wrong, Tho halters have been cut every one of them." "Cut!" "Cut with a sharp knife. Every severed end is smooth and frco from tho ragged nppearanco of a break. The horses havo been set free" "This is a great misfortune," said Philip. "Tho flood has either drowned or driven off most of tho herds in thla vicinity, nnd we shall have difficulty in moving north." "There will bo more plenty of them," said Francisco. "On my own fields I havo two thousand, and there iB high ground enough to givo all my ' beasts safety from tho floods. It is not tho loss of tho horses concerns me. It la tho presence so near of an enemy, "That enemy must be found," said Philip. "The placo Is full of mysteries," said Francisco. "Do you remombor, your majesty, how oven your own knifo was secretly taken from tnis room auu con vcyed to the hand of Salvarez?" "True," replied Philip. "We found It sticking between the ribs of tho murdered sentinel. I brought It here." Ho disturbed the maps and papors on tho tablo in an absent way, as it to pick up tho knife. "BV tho holo saints!" he exclaimed "It is gono again! Is tho thing be witched?" "I knew a knifo ha'l been used," he Bald, "and now it would seem to have been your majesty s own." Philip strode to and fro excitedly. "Somo ono assuredly has access to this room," he said, "and visits it when none of us are present Tho matter must be investigated and that lmme dlately. Havo tho guards that havo been on duty at this door since the beginning of tho Mood summoned be- foro us that wo may hear tholr stato mcnts." While Philip, Gomez and Don Juan engaged in questioning tho frlEhtoned and bewildered sentinels lot us Bee what another member of the band was doing. When Lola Garza had been lying on her sick bed, attended only by her father, whose reports of her condition were anxiously listened to by Philip and Gomez, Mattazudo was as anxious ns elthor of them. When ho had been ordered to bring Namampa, tho herb doctor, a gleam of triumph had illu mined his ugly face. And when Don Juan was plunged in grief and Philip mourned tho loss of his queen, and Gomez cursed tho fato that had taken tho beautiful victim from his when ho might have succeed ed in getting her In his powor, Mntta zudo alono Mattazudo tho half-brood emllcd and was happy. And now, whllo Philip and his ofll cers were engaged in a long and fruit less task of trying to wring lnforma tion from sentinels who had none to givo, Mattazudo, having seen that miles of tho treeless plains were froo from water, quietly loft tho castle and took his departtiro toward tho south Ho mado his way through tho woods on the high bank of tho river, atrlk Ing path tnnt led off toward the hut whoro ho had found Namampa, the herb doctor. .s he approached tho snot whore tho Indian had had his dwelling, hla noart gave a great bound, and a sen sation of fear como to him. The hut of tho Carlb was gone. The' four posts which had supported It were there, having been sunk deop nougn in the earth to mako thorn Arm. But of tho house itsolf not a vcstlgo was left. Tho flood had torn it from its placo and carried itno ono could tell how far and tho faco of Mattazudo reflect closed llpa did not dare to utter. Whllo he stood gazing ruofully and anxiously at tho baro spot where once tho dwelling of Namapa stood, ho was startled at hearing n chuckling sound behind him, and his own name spoken in tho Indian volco. Ho turned, nnd bohold tho Carlb himself coming to ward him. iNamapa," no oxclalmed, "You aro safe, then! My heart stood still when I saw tho desolation tho flood had brought. I was in terror." "For mo7" asked tho Indian, with a knowing lcor. ics, for you, you old roguo; but moro for her. What havo you done with her? Trust you for a wily Carlb to defeat the flood of tho most precious prey of all. Whoro Is she? Where is she, I ask?" "Slowly." .replied tho Indian. "Your impatlcnco will get you nowhero." "Curso you! Why do you not speak and rollevo my anxiety? Havo I not borno enough? Was It all pleasure, do you think, to seo tho bcautlfull girl had sworn should bo by own lying ns if dead, and Don Juan and Philip nnd Gomez those fools! sniveling and groaning over her? Was it all pleasure to know that sho was burled In tho ground to wait far darkness, and that her fato depended upon you? If you failed to tako her out In tlmo, she would dlo of suffocation, oven if tho drug did not kill her. -And if you bungled or blundered, tho sharp eyes of ono of Philip's men would sec you, and that would end the thing for you and' her and all of us. Come, toll mo what I want to know. Whoro Ib tho girl?" The Carlb chuckled. "Only you and I know that tho body they thought was useless clay still hold tho spirit of the girl, and that I I alone had tho secret by which sho could be restored. And then at night, when tho crazy Boldlers of tho pretend er were drunk or woro at their endless games of chance, I stole to tho grave and dug her up and brought' her hero. placod in her mouth the powerful drug that brought the blood into mo tlon again, and in an hour she was a living, breathing, beautiful girl, unin jured, tho same as before, but without a thought of tho gravo into which sho had beon thrown, nnd demanding to know why sho had been stolen from her room whllo she slept. Hoi That was good. I enjoyed her talk. You choso woll sho is a beauty. But you wero to como and take her away. Why did you not como?" "You know why I did not como?" replied Mattazudo, roughly. "Tho flood prevented me. I havo been torn by anxiety to know how you succeeded whothor you saved her from tho flood as well as from Philip and Go moz." "And Bho Is safe?" said Mattazudo. You swear It? Take mo to hor at once. "Not yet, my impatient lover," re plied the old Carlb. "Sho Is safo onough, I swear; but there is a mat ter of business between us. I havo kopt my promise. How about yours?" "Cureo you again: You keep mo here at such a tlmo as this to talk of gold?" "You promised mo gold If I got tho girl for you. A man pays for what ho is eager to get. If I give you tho girl first, in your happinoss you may for got your debt Come, where Is tho gold that was to be mine If I saved hor for you alono?" With an impatient curso Mattazudo pulled a leathern pouch from his pock ct and flung it into tho Indian's hand "There is your gold," he said. "Now, whero is my sweetheart?" "Slowly! Slowly!" muttered the In dian, carefully emptying tho gold out into his palm and counting it. "It is good," ho said. "You have kopt your promise." ,v "Hang you!" roared Mattazudo "You havo your gold, what moro do you want? Whoro Is the girl?" "Listen!" said Namampa. "Do you know the ruin of tho anclont templo on the hill of tho Carlbs, whoro wo go onco ovory moon to worship the gods of our people?" "I know! I know! Tho old stone ruin on Carlb Hill." "The same," samo Namampa. "Go there. Go thoro at once. You will find tho girl there." "Safo?" asked Mattazudo again, starting off In tho direction of Carlb Hill. "Safo!" ropllcd Namampa. Thon, in a muttered tone too low for Mattazudo to hear, he added: "Safo! I think so. Safer than you could expect. Faro well Mattazudo my lovely half-breed. Wo shall not meet again. Namampa, tho herb doctor, movos northward to tho Orlnco; for If tho Englishman doos not kill you, it is certain that you will kill mo. Therefore, farywelH" CHAPTER XXIV. Mnttazudo's Reception. Without n suspicion o( the surprlsa in store for him, Mattazudo, the half breed, tramped on toward the old ruin, whoro ho oxpoctcd to And tho beau tiful daughter on Don Juan secroted and bound by Namampa for him. It will bo romombcrcd that Lola, upbn being taken from the Carlb by Lord Chtmgmough, fainted. When, un der tho Indian's caro, aho nt loat ro- vived, sho opened hor oyes, looked wildly about her and exclaimed: "Whero am I? O. my father! Is ho here?" Lord Chugmough ocnt over her, took hor hand in hla and said in a -'"thing voice: "Bo calm, scnorlta. You are in th hands of friends. I am on a hunting, expedition and was driven by thi storm to seek this placo for oholter. You wero brought hero by this In- dlan, who claims that ho brought you hero to escape the flood also. Rest a while, and whon you are stronger you shnll tell me your siory and I will re store you to your friends." "No, no, not to tho castlo!" sho ex claimed, growing excited and feverish. "Woll, thon, whatever you wlBh shall bo done," ho answered. "Bo calm now. Later wo will talk. Fear noth ing, for I havo a man with mo, aud wo aro woll armed." "Thank you," sho murmured. "I" Sho would havo continued, but Lord Chugmough had moved away from hor. Tho Englishman touched Namampa on tho shoulder aud tho Carlb know ho was wanted. He followed tho Englishman to the farthor end of tho old templo, whore thoro was a llttlo moro light coming in through tho entrance, and, sitting down upon a stono, stolidly watched Lord Chugmough 1111 his plpo nnd light It, also keeping a furtive watch on William, whose exact status ho did not understand, but whose stalwart pro portions were enough to mako tho withered old Carlb doubly cautious "William," said Lord Chugmough, when ho had lighted his pipe, "how is tho supper coming on?" "Quito ready, mo lord," was tho ro- nly. "Savory, sir, hand Juicy." "Very well. See that tho young lady has plenty. Encourago hor to cat Nothing llko a good meal to restore courage. William." Worry truo, mo lord. 'Ansomo lady, sir. Will you 'avo yours now, Blr?" "Not Just yet. I wish to chat awhile with our interesting friend, horo. Now, thon," he said, changing from his na tive tongue to Spanish, "my Indian friend, tell mo your side of tho story, and if T find you havo not told the truth, you'll bo a dead Indian, ns sure as you aro this minute alive." He puffed on in sllenco, whllo th Carlb told tho story, which waB latei on verified in part, by Lola Garza. On tho day that this happened Lord Chugmough was standing just outsld the ruin, when he saw tt swarthy, dirty looking ruffian coming toward him. "Hello! What do you want?" asked tho Englishman. "Senor is rude," replied the fellow. "In my country wo aro moro than po lite. I beg of you to let mo pass." Lord Chugmough stood aBldo and watchod him curiously as ho entered the ruin, keeping close at his heels. As soon ns Lola saw him sh screamed: 'That is Mattazudo! Ills presence here explains why I was taken from the castle." Mattazudo was much surprised to find Lola in such good company. He was moro surprised when ho received Lord Chugraough's clenched fist in hla faco aud went sprawling on tho ground with a' cut Up. Ho was still moro sur prised when, without a word of expla nation, Lord Chugmough picked him up and rained mows uko tnoso 01 a slcdgo-hammcr all over him. And his surprise reached its highest point when tho stalwart and irato English lord solzed him violently with both hands and sent him hurling through spaco to fall, terribly .bruised, somo ton feet or moro outside tho temple.

Tho excess of females in this .country is much smaller relative ly than in England. In view of tho great number of females In tho rlchor countries and tho Increasing dispro portion according to wealth, it is evi dent that the work aud dangers ot civ ilization aro unduly thrown upon men, a- fact the women suffrnglBts and "emancipators" Bhould ponder over.

Tho explanation glvon for Franco Is as cribed to tho unlimited division of land nnd tho demand of a dowry of all mar riageable girls. But back of this arises tho natural question why her peoplo demand tho division and tho dot. This brings out the fact that the ruling cause in such matters Is tho character of a people. American Medicine AN ODD TALE OF THE SEA. Bolllnc Copper Hlvet Wear Through Hottom of VcmcI. Somo years ago a vessel loaded with guano worth several thousand dollars caught flro In tho south Pacific and wan nbnndoncd by tho captain nnd crow, who canto ashore In tho small boats and reported the disaster. Ono of the consignees thought tho cargo could bo saved, as ho know that guano would not burn, and It was his idea that tho hulk of tho ship might bo found floating somowhero nt sea. He chartered a small English tramp ves sel that happened to be at Calluo. Peru, and started out bo search for tho derelict. After cruising Jar two or three weeks, ho found nbr, tt wood work burned to the wator's edge, but tho hulk sound ns a dollar and tho enrgo all right. Thoy started to tow hor to Cnllao, but tho day boforo reaching that harbor tho tramp vessel thoy had chartered began to fill rap idly nnd tho pumps could scarcoly keop her afloat. They narrowly es caped sinking with all on board. Tho leak was a mystery. Thoy managed to got her to Cnllao only by tho grcntcst exertion. When tho ship wont Into tho dock nnd wns examined It wns found that ono of tho plates about tho center had worn through. Fur ther Investigation demonstrated that tho damngo had been done by a little copper rlvot, which had been accident ally left In the bottom aud had rolled back and forth over the Bamo spot bo often and so long that tho Iron plate had been worn thin nnd tho pressuro of tho water had broken - through.

Whon quite young 1 wna only 7 years old then I lived with my parcntH nt a villa In Trlosto, Austria. For weeks and weeks I had tho Bumo dream, although not nightly namely, that In tho night tlmo I found myself at tho bottom of tho garden in my nightgown, scratch ing at a little heap of earth, nnd found copper, Htlvor.Miiul gold coins, and sud denly looking up, I found boforo mo, und watching me, tho sister of tho Inndlord of tho villa, an old, haggard woman, Hning drenmed this no often, I naturally related It to my mother, who repented 11 to hor frlonds. Thcso friends, who woro ot n superstitious nature, tried to luduco my father to buy tho plot of ground In question, but he would not listen to such absurdity, as ho was an unhollover in spiritual Ism. Well, Bomo yrnrs later the land lord had occasion to build n lodgo at tho bottom ot the gardon, and while digging for the foundation a largo Bum of money In coppor, silver nnd gold coiim was discovered. How Is it that a mere boy of 7, without any knqwledgo of tho placo or of tho his tory of the ownorfl of tho said grounds should havo such a dream, which turn ed out true? Spectator.
