"They, too, escaped. Nothing has
boon heard of them."
"Then," sho said, turning to Lord
Chugmough, "thcro Is nothing to do
but trust this man and wait for my
father to bring a forco to rescuo us.
I think 1 understand what lorn peat
meant now. Arthur thought I was
dead, nnd having no reason for ro
malnlng hero longor, has assisted tho
family of tho republican General to a
placo of safety.
"Tho senorlta says," said Lord
Chugmough to tho Zambo, "that sho
will thank you to go at onco to hor
father and tell him sho Is here, and
have him como to rescue her. I will
pay you well nfter I seo tho face of
Don Juan. I don't pay In advance for
services In this country, but It you do
your errand well, tho pay will bo
large."
"I bollovo you, sonor," said the Zam
bo. "I will do as you say."
Ho took a good pull at a flask Lord
Chugmough hold out to him, and pull
ing himself togethor, limped out of
tho place.
"An honest manwhen It payB him
well to bo ono," said Lord Chugmough,
watching tho retreating figure.

CHAPTER XVL (Contlnuod.)
Lola looked at Lord Chugmough In
consternation.
"Is ho dead?" she cried. "No! Ho
cannot ho must not dlol"
"Ho la dead," said Lord Chugmough,
sorrowfully.
"Oh, what did ho mean? What did
ho try to say 7 Could you hear moro
than I?"
They moved nway from the dead,
hero.
"He well, ho mado a rcmarkablo
statement," said Lord Chugmough,
looking puzzled. "Ho said you had
died, you know."
. "Oh, ho must havo been wandering.
Death had sent him that relief tho
relief of unconsciousness boforo tho
end," sho said.
"I do not think so," replied Lord
Chugmough. "If ever thoro was a
conscious and rational dying man, ho
waB. I cannot fathom tho meaning of
what ho said, but ho know; of that
I am sure. Ono thing ho did say that
was plain enough. Your Arthur Med
worth, thinking you wero dead, has
gono oft with another girl In a boat."
"Oh, I cannot believe that," she said.
"And why should ho believe I was
dead?"
"Mo lord," called William from tho
top of tho barricade, "HI found this
fellow hon tho 'ill. E's wounded
pretty bad, sir. Shall HI kill 'lm?"
"No. Drag him hero," rcpllod Lord
Chugmough. "Ia ho conscious?"'
"Worry conscious, mo lord. Don't
you 'car 'lm cussing hln Spanish?"
William camo dragging a wounded
Zambo across tho earthen floor, and
sat him on a stone near Lord Chug
mough. Tho Englishman examined him, and
found that ho was seriously wounded.
"Look here, my flno fellow," he said,
"your wound Is a bad one, but with n
llttlo bandaging and a llttlo caro you
will bo all right If you will toll mo
tho truth about this thing, I will fix
you up and let you go. If you don't,
I'll put another bullet Into you and
make a better Job of it. Do you under
stand?" "SI, senor," was tho reply.
"How much do you know about this
rascality?"
"Tho fight, sonor?"
"No. I know a llttlo about tho fight
myself. Dut about this follow Matta
zudo, and tho old Indian, and tho sen
orlta." "The beautiful senorlta," said tho
Zambo, grinning, "has many lovers."
"Oh, I see you do know something.
Now tell me, how was tho senorlta
taken from tho castle?"
Tho Zambo grinned again.
"It Is nn old trick, sonor," ho said.
"Tho old Carlb la wlso, and can do
many things that puzzlo thoso who
look down upon his race. I havo heard
all about it from Mattazudo. The
king But my wound, senor it bleeds.
I will tell tho truth nil I know but
while I am speaking I bleed to death."
"I'll fix you up," said Lord Chug
mough, at onco beginning to bind up
tho wounds in a piece of William's
shirt. "Go on; you had got as far as
tho king."
"Tho senorlta has many lovers,
senor. Philip loved her, and wanted to
mako her his queen. Gomez loved her,
and wanted her for his wife. Matta
zudo looked upon her pretty face, nnd
sworo ho would havo her for himself.
Sho was 111, and old Namampa was
called In to eco hor and euro her. Mat
tazudo saw Namampa first, and prom
ised him much gold if ho would get
tho senorlta away without any ono
knowing it. Namampa first cured her
of hor fever, and then gavo hor a drug
that Btops tho heart for a number of
hours. They nil thought sho was dead,
and sho was burled. That night Na
mampa returned to tho gravo and dug
her up and took her to his houso,
whero ho gavo hor another drug that
brought hor to her senses again and
brought her up hero to escapo tho
rushing waters. You wero hero and
kept tho senorltn. Namampa saw
Mattazudo and told him tho senorlta
was here, but said nothing about you.
MnttazuUo camo hero, and you throw
hlra out. You wero very strong, senor.
Then ho came for us. Wo attacked
you; you beat us. But bewaro, senor!
Mattazudo was not wounded. Ho has
hundreds of men under his command
who will do his bidding. Ho will re
turn with plenty of men. You will bo
killed, and tho senorlta will fall Into
his hands again."
"Is thcro no way to get her to tho
castlo undor her father's protection?"
A gesturo of dissent from Lola mado
him look up.
"It Is best," ho said In English.
"You do not knot; whero Medworth
is."
"There is no wn, senor," said tho
Zambo. "Mattazudo's men aro all
around, and would not let you reach
tho castle. You aro safer hero. But
If you will pay mo well, I will toll Don
Juan Gnrza when I return, and ho will
soud a forco to recover his daughter."
Lord Chugmough looked thought
fully at Lola.
"It seems to bo tho only thing to
do," he Bald.
"First toll me," sho said to tho Znm
bo, "do you know anything of tho
other American?"
"No, senorlta; I know nothing. Tho
Americans escaped, and no ono know
where they went."
"And General SalT&rez? and hla
family?"
CHAPTER XXVII.
A Summary of Events.
In tho meantlmo our friends on tho
Island of tho Clouds wero making
thomselvos as comfortable aa circum
stances would ndmlt and awaiting
their rescuo which Is to tako placo as
soon as tho waters recede.
Tho wounded Zambo becomes fearful
and In order to savo his own llfo
goes to tho nearest plantation, which
is that of Pedro Francisco, where ho
met Sir Galloping Grace and tho other
members of tho party from whom
Lord Chugmough and other mombors of
his party had becomo separated boforo
tho storm. Ho arrives Just in timo to
toll tho story of Lord Chugmough's ad
ventures. This Is welcome Information for Sir
Galloping Graco, who subsequently
starts In pursuit. They depart for
Bolivar expecting to find Lord Chug
mough nnd William with tho yacht
Chcerway but find a desolated scono
instead. Tho Chcerway had been re
leased from Its moorings by tho sail
ing master Just at tho height of tho
storm, floating down toward tho Islo
of tho Clouds, whero It lodges as tho
storm subsides and Is tnken possession
of by Arthur Medworth and, tho wlfo
and daughter of Salvaroz.
In tho meantlmo Gen; Mattazudo
gets togethor a commando and at
tempts to rescue Lola from Lord Chug
mough. Hearing of this Philip ac
tuated by Gomez hurries to tho scene
of conflict. There they aro surprised
to seo Gen. Francisco with his BJnall
detachment, who, from tho story of
Zambo, believes that Jaclnta is held by
Lord Chugmough at Carlb Hill.
Tho lawless passions of Mattazudo
did much that day to provent tho mak
ing of history. With tho fair country
south of tho Orinoco nlroady in his
grasp, Philip had a brilliant prospect
before him almost tho certainty of a
throne. But God" In his wisdom ruled
otherwise, and Mnttazudo was tho crea
turo chosen by Him to undo all that
Gomez and Don Juan by their oxecu
tlvo ability and organizing power had
done. As tho half-breed, at the hoad
of his cut-throat gang, climbed up
Carlb Hill, ho saw Pedro Francisco,
at the head of his men, coming up
tho slopo in another direction.
Tho half-breed hurled curses and de
fiance in tho same breath, nnd Fran
cisco laughed to think how ho had out
witted Mattazudo,
Francisco was nearest tho stono
ruin, out of which soveral English
heads wero looking, greatly alarmed at
tho sudden appearance of tho enemy.
"Bah Jove!" said Sir Galloping
Graco, "wo aro attacked by overwhelm
ing numbers."
"Wo must beat them off," said Lord
Chugmough, quietly.
"Beat thom off! That's lllco you,
Chugmough," Bald Viscount Elsmere.
"But see how many thero aro."
"Wo aro Englishmen. Don't forget
that," said Lord Chugmough.
But now a new surprise was given to
the English party.
Francisco, who had got within a
hundred feet of tho ruin, paid abso
lutely no attention to tho persons In
side, but lifted hlK hat in tho air, and
uttered a shout of triumph at Matta
zudo. "You aro too late, you half-breed
cur!" ho yelled. "Sho Is mine! She
Is mine!"
Mattnzudo replied with curses and n
rifle shot. Frnnclsco's right arm fell
useless at his side.
"At thom!" ho yelled. "Kill the
curs! Down with thom!"
An answering cheer camo from his
men, nnd a volley or rlflo shots awoko
tho echoes around tho old utono ruin.
"Bah Jove!" said Sir Galloping
Grace. "They aro not fighting us, aft
er all. Thoy aro fighting each othor."
When tho day's fighting was dono
tho dead on tho Hold included Matta
zudo, Francisco, Gomez and Philip.
Don Juan joined his daughter and
Lord, Chugmough's party. .
CHAPTER XXVIII.
How It All Ended.
It has already beon scon how tho re
doubtable Balling master of tho yacht
Checrway pulled up anchor nnd re
treated before tho rushing flood, there
by saving Lord Chugmough a good
many thoua&ad pounds, and probably
tho lives of tho crew as well.
And It Is also known that when Sir
Galloping Graco and tho other mom
bors of Lord Chugmough's party
turned their backs on tho washed-out
city of Bolivar to return to Pedro
Francisco's hospitable plantation, tho
Chcerway was already plowing the
wators of tho subsiding Orinoco to re
gain hor deserted anchorage oft Boli
var. Two days later, on a beautiful clear
day, when tho hot sun was beating
down on tho decker, Captain Glover
stood on tho bridge his throno, and a
more sccuro ono than was tho ambi
tion of tho falso Philip of Aragon
with tho visor of his cap pulled low
over his eyes to Bhado thom from tho
glaro, watching, with consldorablo
wonder and pleasure, tho Bplondld
scenery of tho north shoro near which
ho was running, tho wonder being that
all naturo could bo so beautiful nnd
smiling so soon after tho tempestuous
exporlonco of a few days before.
Now and then Captain Glover rnlscd
a pair of classes to his eyes and swept
tno verdure-clad shoro, noting tho
many-colored flowers, which certainly
must havo bloomed slnco tho storm,
for thoy could not havo lived through
it.
"Ah," ho Bald to himself, giving a
characteristic grunt at tho same tlmo,
"now I know whoro I am. I romem
her thnt mountain. Now, that's i
queer placo for a mountain. It's al
ways been my opinion that n moun
tain Is necessarily n land animal. But
this Is square In tho river sort of am
phlblous mountain, as It wero."
And smiling at his own Jokot tho
captain continued to study tho bold
outlines and lofty cmlnonco of tho
mountain that had attracted him
which was no other than tho Island of
tho Clouds, which has already played
a not unimportant part in tho history
of Bomo of our friends.
Every mlnuto brought tho rapid
yacht ncaror to tho mountain, and
.after an hour or so Captain Glover
raised tho glass again to tako anothor
and closer survey.
Tho samo day ho rescued Dona
Mnrla, Jaclnta and their American
protector nnd tho Cheerway boro thom
up tho Amazon to Bolivar.
In duo tlmo tho yacht arrived at
Bolivar, and Medworth, seeing no sol
dlers of Philip near, mado bold to ro
quest to be sent ashore that ho might
mako Inquiries concerning Castlo Sal
varcz, and also put in a few sly ques
tions to seo It Jack Tempest was any
where about.
tho information no rcccivca on
shoro fairly staggered him with
mixed emotion part Joy, part grief.
Everybody in Bolivar know all about
tho battle on Carlb Hill, aud Medworth
listened with beating heart to tho
story of tho supposed death of Lola
Gnrza, tho crafty treachery of Namam
pa, tho meeting of Namampa and Lola
with Lord Chugmough on Carlb Hill,
tho subsequent attack by Mattazudo,
and tho final misunderstanding which
r faulted in tho total annihilation of
both wings of Philip's army. Ho also
heard with sorrow of tho heroism and
death of his old comrade, and tho Joy
over tho knowledgo that Lola was
allvo and well was tempered with
grief over tho death of his loyal
friend.

LIVED LONG pN THE EARTH. f
Evidence that Men Existed Before Date
Fled by Accepted Authority.
Fortunately thero is no chanco for a
religious controversy over recont dis
coveries that seem to upset tho accept
ed chronology of tho Bible, That
chronology is admittedly of human
origin and therefore liable to k falli
ble. Professor Flinders Petrle, in &
lecture rccontly dcllvorod In .London,
prcsontcd somo rather startling theo
ries as to tho antiquity of tho human
race that will doubtless give rise to
moro or less dispute. Tho professor's
proofs as to bis theories are said to
bo incontrovertible. Ho contends thai
thoro Is an unbroken chain of his
toric record going back to 6,000 B. 0.,
besides objects of art and Industry that
carry hlBtory back 2,000 years further,
thus making tho Indubttablo record
of human history cover 9,000 years.
Yot dates 7,000 B. C. do not tnko us
hack to tho beginning. Thoro aro
traces, ho says, of n civilization that
camo to Egypt from somo other coun
try. Tho earliest graves have figures
of a raco of bushmon of a typo like
that discovered in Franco nnd Mnlta,
suggesting that ono raco formerly ox-
tended from northorn Africa Into Eu
rope Boyond thoso bushmcn thoro nro
figures of woman captured from still
earlier races probably of tho palaeo
lithic age. Of this latter ago thoro
orp many evidences In tho elevated
plateau cast of tho Nllo, whero, In n
region nt present wholly uninhabita
ble, aro found the remains of many
settlements. Tho existence of a popu
lation hero Indicates that thcro was a
tlmo when tho cllmato of Egypt was
totnlly different from whnt It Is to
daywhen a rainfall fertilized lands
now deserts. Such a cllmato could
hardly havo existed unloss tho desert
of Sahara was then under water. A
rise of tho Saharan area, coinciding
with a ranking of tho prcsont bod of
tho Mediterranean, would explain tho
lndlsputnblo fact that tho fauna, flora
nnd racial affinities of northorn Africa
aro with Europo rather than with tho
parts of Africa south of tho Sahara.
Egypt supplies us, according to Pro

Cattle Tliero wm another liberal sup
