CHAPTER XVIII. (Contlnuod.)
"Who are you?" ho naked In Enj
lisii. As no reply camo ho repeated
the question In Spanish.
"Don't shoot, Honor!" came a voice
in SpanlBh. "I am only a poor Carlb."
"Advanco, poor Cnrlb, and glvo the
countersign," said Lord Ohugniough;
whereat William, who did not under
stand Spanish, lunged forward to have
u good look nt tho Intruder.
Suddenly both ho and his master
wcro startled at hearing a low, sweet
voice, as of a frlghtonod child, cry:
"Save mo! Oh, savo me!"
"Mosb my soul!" said. Lord Chug
mough. "It's a girl!"
"Ha young lady, mo lord," snld Wil
liam. '
Lord Chugmough strodo forward and
took tho yloldlng form from tho arms
of tho cringing Carlb.
''Who Is sho?" ho nsked. "Why Is
she hero?"
"AIbb, senor," was tho reply, "tho
river lias risen, and I fear tho land
will bo floodod, and I brought the
sonorlta horo for shelter. Sho linn boon
vory 111, sonor, and In my care, and I
must glvo her somo mcdlclno at once."
"Ah I You arc a doctor, then?" said
Lord Chugmough, looking down upon
tho beautiful upturned face of the girl
ho held In his arms.
"Yes," roplled tho Carlb. "I am
Nnmampa, tho herb-doctor."
"Oh!" said Lord Chugmough, as if
lie know all about It. "William, tako
tho panther and deer skins and pre
pare a bod for this young lady. Sho
Is" ill. Bho 'pon my word sho has
fainted."
"No, no! I am ill weak!" mur
mured tho girl. "That man Is an en
emy. He"
"Fear nothing." said Lord Chug
mough, in English. "He caunot harm
you. Will you toll me your name,
scnorila?"
"My name In Lola Garza," she whis
pered. And then, In truth, she
fainted.
"She Is 111," said the old Carlb. "I
will give her hor medicine, and when
the storm has ceased I will take her
away again."
Lord Chugmough tenderly laid tho
slight form down en the skins that
William had spread, trnd then placed
his band oa Naraampa's arm with a
grip that Bade tho old Carlb writhe
with pain.
"Not till I know where you aro tak
ing her," herald. "And. mind, if your
medicine doesn't bring her round fair
and square, I'll riddle you with 'lead."
CHAPTER XIX.
The Flood.
The, great storm had an Influcnco
upon all tho characters of this history,
and to thin Influcnco noma of tho stir
ring events which follow may bo at
tributed. It placed n, great barrier between the
royalists on tho south and tho repub
licans on tho north aldo of tho swollen
Orinoco, and delayed tho rtoparturo of
rump or Atagon toward tho capital,
But to no one did It bring such dis
tress and danger, change of plan and
disaster, as to tho two young Amerl
cans and tho wlfo and daughter of
General Salvaroz, who had up to that
time been secure in their underground
retreat
Ta first day of tho Btorm they wero
content to wait quietly in their an
parently safe aholtor, fearing nothing.
But ob the second day, when the
roar ot the rushing waters reached
their ears, they began to feol anxious,
not only for tbcmaolvcs, but for Sal
varet, for they did not know how far
ho had got on his journey.
On the third day their nnxloty for
themselves became bo great that near
ly everything also wan driven from
their minds. Townrd night, on this
third day. tho Coronl ho far overflowed
Its banks nH to Bond a running, roaring
stream Into tho socrot pasBugo,
"Wo aro loBt!" crlod Dona Maria
when the water began pouring In and
nproadlng out over tho floor ot tho
caverns. "Onco boforo thoro was
storm llko thin, and tho caverns be
came filled with water,"
"Is thoro any possibility of escape?
asked Tempest
Jaclnta looked dubiously from ono
to tho other.
"Tho flatboat!" orlod Dona Maria,
BUddonly. "If wo could but roach ItJ
11 is strong u can outlive mo storm
It in not fur from the ontrnnco to tho
necrot passage, It It has not been car
rlod away. Nothing could upsot It"
"Tho very thlngt" Bald Medworth
"Remember, Jack, tho largo boat at
the wharf lust above? Wo havo scon
It often enough."
"Good I" said Tempest "Wo ought
to be able to go to It,' oven It wo had
to swim."
"Come on," said Modworth, .now
thoroughly alert and alive in tho dan
gers and possibilities of tho situation.
He darted toward the entranco with
Tempest splashing along close behind
him, leaving Dona Maria and Jaclnta
huddled together, fearing, hoping, si
lently watching and trusting their
brave companions.
The stream of water that pourod In
through tho entrance was about a foot
deep, and tho roar of the storm and
torrent about tbem was deafening.
There was no naed for caution. The
night was dark, and so fierce was the
storm thai bo stutry was outside ot
tne cr.tlle or the soldiers' quarters.
Medworth took his knlfo from his
pocket and Bovcrcd the rope.
With a mighty ruah the boat swung
down stream and across It, bringing
up with a crash ngalnst tho opposlto
bank, a short dlstanco bolow tho se
cret passage.
"Hurray!" shouted Tempest "If wo
can wind up forty feet of rope we can
bring It to tho entrance."
They entered tho deck-houne and
found that with only one mooring the
boat moved against tho stream as
easily an across tho current Ten min
utes of hard work brought them to the
mouth of tho caverns.
Without hesitating, Medworth leaped
off and made his way to tho hole.
"Dona Maria!" ho shouted. "Jacln-
ta! Como! Wo havo tho boat and aro
waiting for you."
Tho volco of Dona Maria nnswerod
him, and soon tho wife and daughter
of Salvarcz wcro at tho entrance.
Can you get out?" asked Medworth.
extending hln hand to assist them.
With your assistance." replied
Dona Maria, as, hnlf by her own exor
tlons and half by Med worth's holp, sho
scrambled out of the hole. Jaclnta fol
lowed her
To reach tho boat, which could not
be brought nearer than twolvo feet to
the mouth of the passage, they wore
forced to flounder through from ono to
four foot of water, tho depth Increas
ing as they drew nearer the boat, and
Modworth found himself unablo to
keep both worn on on their feet
"Como and holp me, Jack." ho
called.
Tempest leaped from the boat and
splashed through tho water to Ar
thur's aide.
"Dona Maria, your hand." ho yelled.
Tho wlfo of Salvercz put her hand In
his, and ho led her to tho boat, Arthur
following with Jaclnta.
"Now up," said Tempest "A hand
hero, Medworth."
Between thom they assisted Dona
Maria aboard tho flatboat and then
lifted Jaclnta out of the water and'
placed her by her mother's side.
Just then a terrific gust of wind
lashed tho water Into Increased fury;
the strain on tho ropo was doubled,
and it snapped. Tho boat waB hurled
away down tho Coronl, leaving Tem
pest standing in tho darkness, up to
his waist In the rushing waters.
CHAPTER XX.
. Tompoat'n Flight
"Hero'B a pretty mess I'm In," Bald
Tempest, when ho had realized tho full
extent of tho disaster that had como
upon him. "Tho wntcr rlBlng rapidly,
ground almost covered and tho rnln
coming dow harder than over, nnd
tho flatboat, our last and only hope,
gono and loft mo. What nm I to do, I'd
llko to know."
Ho raised hlB volco to Its full vol-
umo and shouted Modworth'B namo.
but had ho possessed twlco tho lung)
power ho could not havo made htmBolf
heard on tho boat that .was being rap
idly borno away In tho darkness.
Ho Bcrnmblod back to tho highest
point of land nlong tho river, the top
of tho sloping sldo that led down to
tho wator'B edge when tho river waB at
Us proper lovol, and horo, just abovo
tho Hood that waB rising to moct him.
ho stood a moment to collect his scat
tered senses. It he wished to live, it
waa plain that ho must think quickly
ana to somo purposo, and to act as
quickly. Hln flrst thought was to re
turn to tho Bocret passage It sudden
iy occurred 10 mm mat no nan no
weapon, llut In great emergencies'
when Tempest waB obliged to think
quickly, ho acquitted hlmsolf credit
ably. It was bo in this Instnnco, as It
had been In many othors alt over tho
world.
"First," ho muttered to hlmsolf, "I
will make His Royal Nlbo a vlnlt and
soo It I can borrow a gun. Then I'll
borrow, a horuo nnd got awny to u
higher country, for, If I nm not much
mUtakon, thin part will bo entirely
under water in twonty hours more.'
upon reaching this conclusion ho
did not hcnltnto, but plunged through
tho Increasing depth ot water that wok
pouring in through tho entrance to
tho enverns, nnd lloundnrcd through
tho swash toward tho lantern that still
hung high up whero tho water would
not reach It for a few hours at least
Ho hurried up tho Btono steps to tho
sliding panel.
Putting his car to this, he heard
voices. At first they wero low and in
distinct, and Tempest could not hear
tho words. Hut a heavy footstop
sounded, nnd then ho hoard tho well
known voice of Gomez.
"Hy all tho BalntH!" 'he exclaimed.
rniB is a wet Kingdom ot youra.
Philip."
"Is tho wntor still rising?" nsked tho
Spaniard.
"Yes," replied Gomez. "Reports
have come in from tho surrounding
country that nro truly disturbing. Tho
Carlbs at tho head ot tho Coronl aro
moving up Into tho mountains. Tho
IlanoH betwoon hero and tho Orinoco
are becoming complotoly submerged.
Cattle by tho thousundvaro being
drowned, nud thoso that has'b not yet
bo overwhelmed aro huddling together
on tho high points, and It the storm
keeps on forty-eight hours more they
will bo tak.n too."
"Ib this castlo In any dangor?"
"No. Francisco tells mo that onco
before they had n storm nearly as bad
as this, and the laud was covered with
wator for miles around, yet this cas
tlo, nnd Francisco's own houso, both
being built on high ground, escaped."
Is thoro any dangor of starvation-
hunger among tho troops, I mean?"
"Of courso, If tho storm continues
many weeks, or even ono week, I fear
thore would bo; but I hopo 't will not
como to that. Tho waters s'lbsido
quickly after tho storm ccnt.s."
"But tho Orinoco?"
"Ah. that is a serious iattor. I fear
It will bo a good many days beforo we
can cross the great river. Tho waters
may subside here, but tho Orinoco will
bo a raging torront for days to como.
I foar tho ships that wero on tho river
whon tho storm began are by now
swept out to sea."
Then the Turtle, with tho remain-
dor of our rifles and ammunition, Is
gono."
I fear so, but sho may outrldo the;
storm and return."
"Lot us hopo co, at teast," said
Philip. "But I seem to sec only dis
aster and failure beforo utt."
Aftor a few more words they loft the
council room together. Tempest lis
tened carefully to tho receding foot
steps nnd waited even after they had
died nway, to learn if any one had boon
loft
Hearing nothing, he cautiously slid
back tho panel and peered, insldo the
room.
Finding no ono there, ho stealthily
crept Insldo and glanced hastily nround
for a weapon.
"No gun!" ho muttered. "Not oven a
pistol."
Then ho chanced to look down at (ho
table.
There, lying upon a map that had
been Btalnod by dripping blood, waa
tho knlfo that had been taken from the
dead sentinel.
"Ah, the knife!" said Tempest
"Well, If this is all, It must bo mado to
do."
Hastily seizing It, ho crept again
through tho aperture, closed tho panel
carefully and went down Into tho un
derground passage and out In the ter-
rlblo torrent
Above tho storm he heard a shrill
scream as of a horso In mortal terror,
nnd blindly following tho sound as
well as ho was able to locate It, ht
soon found himself at the stables.
Tho Btablcs upon which he had com.
wore not the well-kept stables wher.
tho family horses of Salvarcz weri
kept, but tho sheds ot tho artillery and
cavalry beasts. Thoy consisted of lit
tle more than a long, peaked roof with
outrcachlng caves, supported by strong
posts. Under this root tho horses stood
tied in rows.
Tompest plunged In among them and
holding tho lantern to light his way,
severed tho leather haltors with quick
strokes ot his kulfc, and sot tho horses,
ono nftcr another, free.
This took him some time, and his
nrm was weary whon ho had finished.
When thcro was but ono horso loft,
he flung hlmsolf upon its back, and,
cutting tho halter, clung to its mano,
giving It perfect liberty to go whero it
would.
And with an abiding faith in the sa
gacity of tha beasts ho had llboratcd,
Tompost clung tenaciously to his posi
tion and was borno swiftly over tho
marBhy, storra-benton ground.

Will Canada Fall to sf
From tho London Speaker: Tho Ca
nadian census returns show that tho
rate of Increase In tho Dominion Is still
diminishing. From 1871 to 1881 tho'
population Increased by 839,049; tho
next ten ycarB It increased by 508,429;
tho Inst ten years It has Increased by
05.Q44. The population has not yet
reached five nnd a half millions. If
Canada cannot attract Immigrants at a
faster rate, In splto of her agricultural
advantages and a liberal promise of
land, what chnnco Is thero of agricul
tural emigration to South Africa And
while tho population of our colonies
remains so smull, what ridiculous cant
It Is to talk about Imperialism as u
necessity for our expanding popula
tions? If that argument Is pressed too
toutly Canada will fall to the United
States and Australia to China!
Otter Just "Discovered.
Way down In South America, from
Qulana to Argentina, there has been
discovered the arlranha, recognized ns
tho largest species of tho otter. It
grows to a length ot flvo foot.
Tho oddest thing about It Is that
Its skin seems to be much too large
for its body. In liveliness It surpasses
oven the playful seal. An nrlrnnhn
has been tamed and has n hound for
ts playfellow. At a certain hour tho
uptlvo goes to tho door ot Its cage
and thero whines and yells until
NEW SPECIES OF THE OTTER,
turned Ioobo In tho gardon, where It
rucheo around, barking Joyously.
It deftly catches tho fish thrown to
It, and skillfully prevents tho dog
from appropriating any of the dainty
food. Zoologists call tho strange ani
mal "Thoronura pnranensln Ruegger,"
but of course no offense Is meant to
the animal.

The End of a Long Controversy
Tho controversy raised by the late
Uov. John Jasper of Richmond, Vn.,
who declared In his llfotlrao that "the
sun do move," is at last In shape for
a final decision. The colored Baptists
of Mount Calvary church In that city
have since Jasper's death become sore
ly divided on this momentous question.
Tho majority have held flrmly to tho
orthodox Jasperlan doctrine, but a mi
nority, led by Brother R. D. Smith, de
scribed an "a leading member ot the
cnurch," have gradually grown bold
enough to assert that tho earth re
volves around tho sun, and not the
sun around tho earth. To restore pence

When tho two orators havo closed
tho argument tho congrogntlon will

Professor Tries' Poets.
Tho New York Times Review de
scribes Professor Trlgga as n "me
chanical engineer applied to litera
ture." Tho force of this phrase Is evldont
when ono rccalla Profossor Trlggs' de
finition of a poet as "a maker," "
generic namo for all who create." To
make hlB meaning still clearer the
university profesBor sayB: "A thous
and others besides Mr. Rockefeller
might bo mentioned as showing the
direction of tho social cnorgy," and ho
Instances as poets "Story and Mar
shall In tho .courtB of law, and Mrs.
Eddy In tho rcnlm of religion."
For his nuthorlty in the use of the
word poet, Professor Triggs opens his
biggest Greek dictionary and shows to
tho illiterate that the word "poot" or
rlglnally meant "maker," and that
Plato In his "Republic" speaks of the
poet of the bed, and Sophocles of the
poot of tho living, but oven among tho
Greeks tho word began to differentiate
In meaning nnd tho mnker of versos
was emphatically the poet, says a
Chicago writer.
An Instructor of English In an English-speaking
university, Professor
Trlggs is In duty bound to give to his
pupils tho latest and most' approved
forms of speech, not tho most antiqua
ted. It savors of pedantry to bring
out musty meanings und parade them
as applicable to the thought of today
when In reality there Is no possible
adaptation.
It would matter Httlo what Trlggs
thinks or what Trlggs says If It wore
not that he occupies a position of
trust nnd Is under somo obligation to
deal with his students In sincerity and
not according to Individual whim and
caprice.
