NORTH PLATTE SEMT-WEEKLY TRIBUNE. Spanish 3 1 4 s Doubloons i 4 4 (CHAPTER XIX Continued.) 2Z Plana were discussed for transfer ring the pirates from Uio cavo to the cutter, for Uioy were to bo taken to Santa Marina to meet whatever pun lshincnt was thought fit for their rath er indefinite ill-doing. They had not murdered us, they had robbed us of nothing but tho provisions they had eaten; they had, after all, as much right on tho Island, as ourselves. Yet there remained their high-handed con duct In Invading our camp and treat ing lis as prisoners, with tho throat of darker possibilities. I fancy that Santa Marlnan justice works mainly by rule of thumb, and that the courts do not embarrass themselves much with precedents. Only I hope tlioy did not shodt the picturesque Tony ugnlnst n wall. The power-schooner, manned by a crow from tho cutter, was to be taken to Santa Marina also. Senor Gonzales remained wlUi us for tho day us our guest, und on tho next tho boats from tho cutter took off tho pirates from tho iCavc, Wo did not Bee them ugaln. Through tho convenient elasticity of Santa Marlnan procedure, Mr. Tubbs was herded along with tho rest, al though ho might plausibly, If hypocrit ically, have pleaded that ho had com plied wltli the will of tho Invaders tin ker duress. Aunt Jnno wept very much, and handed mo Paeans of Pas sion with tho request that sho might novor see It again. Wo parted from Scnor Gonzales not without regrets. It was an Imprc islvo leave-taking Indeed, Senor Gon izalcs In his least word and gesture was impressive. Also, ho managed subtly nnd respectfully to Impart to mo tho knowledge that ho shared Titian's tastes In tho matter of hair. On his departuro ho mado a pretty lit tle speech, full of compliments and iloral specimens, nnd bestowed upon mo as being mlno by right, ho earn estly protested tha two bags of Span ish' doubloons. Slnco the above was written, Mr. Shaw una run ncrosa Many on uio Ban X'ranciB co water-front. Tony tells him that tlioy got OR with throo montlm' Imprisonment. The American consul Interested hlmnolf ana tho schooner was restored to her ilionca did not prosecute. Before tho dls chartmd prisoners loft tho ropubllo Cap tain Magnus was stabbed over a curd game by a native. Mr. Tubbs marrlod a wopiwy nair-caste woman, tho owner of a fine Wnntatlon, but a porfoctly irenu ino Mrs. Tubbs from Peoria turned nn Int. er, and the too much marrlod II, II. was obllrod to achieve one of his over-night CHAPTER XX. Tho Bishop's Chest. Wo waited nlno days for tho coming of tho Rufus Smith. During that tlino an episode occurred as a rosult of which I sat ono morning by myself on I tho rocks beside Uio sloop, on which such ardent hopes had been centered, only like tho derelict Itself to bo wrecked at last. It wns a lonely spot and I wanted to bo nlone, I felt abused, and sad, and sore. I realized tnat I was destined- to do'nothlng but harm In tha world, and to hurt pcoplo I was fond of, nnd bo misunderstood by ovoryono, and to llvo on If I wasn't lucky enough to meet with n premature and sudden end Into a sour, lonely, crabbed old ugo, when I would wish to goodness I hud married anybody, and might oven finish by ap plying to a Matrimonial Agency. 1 As I snt nursing theso melancholy (thoughts I heard a footstep. I did not I look up for I know tho footstep. I should linvo knowu It If It had trodden 'over my grave. ; "I tnko It you aro not wanting com jpany, you have come so fur out of the I way of It," said Dugald Shnw. , SU1I I did not look up. "Nobody seemed to want me," I ro I marked sulkily, after n pause. ' Ho I mado no reply, but seated himself up on tho rocks. For1 a llttlo "there was Kllcnce. "Virginia," ho said abruptly, "I'm thinking you havo hurt the lad." "Oh," I burst out, "that Is all you think or tho lad, the lad I How about mo? Don't you snpposo It hurt me, jtoo?" "No," ho mado deliberate unswor. "I was not Burc of that. I thought maybe you liked having men at your feet." .i "Liked it? Liked to wound Cuth bert Cuthbert? Oh, If only It had not happened, If wo could havo gone on being friend I It was nil my fault for going with him Into tho cave. It 'was after you had burled Uie skeleton, and I wantcdto hco poor liter's rest l lug-place. And wo spoko of Helen, and It was all frightfully melancholy and tender, und all at onco he ho said It And I meant ho novcr should I" 'In tho Eorcnoss of my heart I began ito weep. "There, lassie, Uiore, don't cry I" he isald gently. "Tho boy didn't speak of It, of course. But I knew how It must bo. It has hit him hard, I am afraid." "I suppose," I wept, "you would have had mo marry him whether I 'wanted to or not, just to keep from hurting him?" "No," ho answered quickly. "I did not say Uiat I did not say that would havo had you marry htm. No, ilAss, I did not say that." "Then" why aro you scolding me?" I asked In a choked whisper. "Scolding you? I was not. It was only that that I lovo tho lad and I wish you both so well I thought per haps Uiero wns some mistake, and It would not matter about me, If I could see you both happy." "There Is u mistake," I said clearly. "It Is a groat n)lstake, Dugald Shaw, that you should come to me und court me for somo one else." Thcro was silenco for n while, the kind of silence when you hour your heartbeats. When he spoke his voice wus un steady. "IJut tho boy bus everything to offer you his ancient name, his splendid unstained youth, a heart that Is all loyalty. He Is strong nnd brave and henutlful.- Virginia, why couldn't you lovo him?' "I could not love him," I replied, very low, "because my lovo was not mine any more to give. It belongs to somo ono else. Is 'liis name an cient? I don't know. It Is his, and ho ennobles It. Cuthbert hns youth, but youth Is only promise. In tho man I lovo I find fulfillment. And he Is loyal nnd bravo and honest I am nfrald ho Isn't beautiful, hut I lovo him tho better for his scars " After that I sat. quite still, and I knew It depended on the next half mlnuto whether I went all tho days of my life crowned and glorious with happiness, or burled my shamo and heartbreak under tho waters of tho covo. And then Dugald Shaw took mo In his arms. Dy nnd by ho said huskily: "Beloved, I had no right to ask you to Bharo such a life ns ralno must be tho llfo of n poor sailor." At this I raised my head from Its nestling-place and laughed. "Ask mo? Silly, I asked you I Of course you could havo refused me, but I depended on your not having Uio courage." "And Indeed Uiat Is a charge I'll not allow that I am so llttlo of a man as to let my courting bo dono for me. No, no, it was my lovo compelling you that mado you speak, tho words you did tho lovo of a selfish man who should havo thought only of shielding you from tho hardships of such a wan dering, homeless llfo as mine." "Well, Heaven reward you for' your selfishness," I said earnestly. "I am thankful you were not so noblo as to let ono throw myself at your head In vain. I hnvo been doing It for over so long, In fact, but It Is such n thick Scotch head that I dara say I mado no Impression." "Sweet Imp I You'll pay for that oh, Virginia, If I had only something to offer you 1" "You can offer mo something that I want very much, If you will, nnd nt no cost but your strong right arm." "It Is an arm which Is at your serv, lco for llfo but what am I to do with Dugald Shaw Took Me In His Arms, It now? And indeed I think It, Is very well employed at this moment" "But It must bo eraployod much moro strenuously," I remarked, mov ing a llttlo away, "If you aro to get mo what I want. Boforo you came, I was meditating possible ways of gottlng It for myself. I wanted It for a melan choly rollc a, sort of mausoleum In which all my hopes woro burled. Now its purpose Is quite different; it is to bo my brldo's chest and hold tho dowry which I shall bring to ono Dugald Shaw." "You mean tho chest tho chest that held tho Spanish doubloons Uiat lies' under Uio sand In tho sloop?" "Exactly. And now I sbull know whether you uro' tho true prlnco pr not, because ho always succeeds In tho tnBks ho undertakes to win tho prin cess." It was low tide, such n tido as had nil but lured mo to my death in tho cave. Ono could go and come from tho beach aloug tho rocks, without climbing tho steep path up the cliff. Camilla Kenyon COPYRIGHT TUB BOBDS-MERRILL COMPAKY It was not long before Dugald wus bade again with spade and pick. He tore off the shrunken, sun-dried boards from the cubln roof, and fell to work. It was not, after all, a labor of Her cules. The cabin wns small and the chest large. I watched with tho pride of proprietorship the swift ease with which the steel-sinewed arms of the Scot mntle the caked sand fly. Then the spade struck something which sent back n dull metallic sound through the muffling sand. I gave n little shriek of excitcnipnt. Hardly could I have been more thrilled If I had believed the chest still to con- tain the treasure of which It had been ravished. It was filled to Its brass- bound lid with romance, If not wltr- goiu. At length, kneeling beforo It, I raised with an effort tho heavy lid. "Empty, of course no more brown bags. But oh, Dugald, had ever a girl such a wonderful bride's chest ns this? 0 oh I" "What's wrong?" "Nothing, only there Is a crack In the bottom, running all the way along where It Joins tho side." "Warped n bit, I suppose. No mat ter, It can bo easily repaired crack? I say, IussIq, look here I" Under the pressure of Dugald's fin gers the floor of tho chest was swing ing upward on an Invisible hinge. Be tween it nnd tho true bottom waa a space of about three Inches In depth. It seemed to bo filled with a layer of yellowed cotton-wool. For a long moment wo held our breath, gazing at each other wlUi eyes which asked tho same question. Then Dugald lifted a corner of the sheet of cotton nnd plucked It away. At once all the hues of (ho rainbow seemed to be flushing and sparkling before us. IUibies were thero 'like great drops of Uio blood that tho chest and its trensuro had wrung from tho hearts of men; sapphires, mirroring tbo bluo of tho tropic sky; emeralds, green us Uio island verdure; pearls, white as the milk of the coconuts and softly luminous ns the phosphorescent foam which broke on the beach In Uie darkness. And Uiero wcro diamonds that caught gleams of all the others' benuty, and then mocked them with a matchless splendor. There were nine heavy bracelets, nil jewel-set; twenty-three rings, eight of them for tho hand of a man. Somo of these rings contained the finest of Uie diamonds, except for threo splendid unset stones. There wero numbers of clnborate old-fushloned earrings, two ropc-llko chains of gold adorned with Jewels nt Intervals, and several Jew eled lockets. Thero was a solid gold snuff-box, engraved with a coat of arms and ornamented with seventeen flno emeralds. Thcro wcro, besides tho threo diamonds, eighty-two unset stones, among Uiem, wrapped by Itself In cotton, a ruby of extraordinary slzo and luster. And there was a sort of coronet or tiara, sown all over with clear white brilliants. Ours7 Yes, for whether or not there woro nn InfecUon of piracy In tho very air of the island, so Uiat to selzo with the high hand, to hold with tho Iron grasp, seemed tho law of life, wo decided without a qualm against tho surrender of our treasure-trove to Its technical owners. Technical only; for ono felt Uiat, In essence, nil talk of ownership by this man or that had long ago becomo Idle. Fnto had held tho trcasuro In fee to give or to with hold. Senor Gonzales had had his chanco nt tho chest, and he had missed tho secret of Uio hidden hoard, had left It to Ho forgotten under the sand until in somo tropic storm It should bo engulfed by tho waters of tho covo, Moro than this, had ho not most spe cifically mado over to mo tho Island Queen nnd nil that It contained? This wns a title clear enough to satisfy Uie most exacting formalist. And wo were not formalists, nor Inclined in any quibbling spirit to question Uio de crees of Fortune. As treasure-hunt crs, wo had been her devotees too long. So nfter all it was not my scornful skepticism but Uio high falUi of Miss IIlgglcsby-Browno which was Justified by tho event, and tho Hnrdlng-Browno expedition left Uie Island well repaid for Its tolls nnd perils. Plus the two bags of doubloons, which wcro added to tho spoils, the trcasuro brought us a sura so goodly that I dare not name it, for feur of tho apparition of Senor Gonzales and tho Santa Marlnan navy looming up to demand restitution. Like true comrades, wo divided share and share nlike, and bo euro that no ono grudged Cookie the percentage which each was taxed for his benefit And now I como to Uio purpose of this story for Uiough well concealed It has had ono from Uie beginning. If Is to lot Helen, whoever and wherever she may be, If still of this world, know of tho fato of Peter, and to tell her that when sho asks for Uiem sho Is to havo my most cherished relics of the Island. Peter's journal and tho sliver shoo-bicklo which he found In Uie sand of the treasure-cavo and was taking homo to her. Only, sho must let tan keep Crusoe, please.

Uiat tho city of Nebraska City is entitled to Uio exclusive use of its 10-acro park, the Nebraska City SDeed and Fair nssocl- atlon bolng ousted Uiercfrom by the terms of Uio opinion.

The defendant claimed Uiat tho city was estopped from challeng ing Uie validity of its own contract but Uio court finds other-wise.

LAST OUTLAW CVllEF Pedro Zamora, Whose Band Captured Girls and Carried Them Off, Is Slain, and Amour Holds Secret of Loot. Mexico City. Pedro Zamora, Uio last of the leading bandits In Mexico, wns lured to his death by a woman ho had made captive, according to au thentic stories Just received here. Zamora was probably the most daring and picturesque bandit wlie over raid ed a town soutli of the Rio Grande. Zamora and his brother, Antonio, were orglnally vaqueros, or cowboys, on ono of the great ranches In tho state of Jalisco. Several years ago n favorable offer was made to any one who would run bnrro and mule trains to pack sup plies Into a mining district In the stnte, and Pedro and his brother gave up their ranch Jobs nnd became pack train freighters. ' They would havo prospered but for the many bandit crows then hnrasslng most of Mexico. They were held up and robbed times without number. Became Bandit Himself. Finally Pedro became enraged nnd decided to turn bandit himself. He gathered 40 or CO reckless men about him nnd started out on his career as bandit His band Increased with his Bticcess and soon he hnd 300 well armed, well-mounted, men nt his com mand. Like nil bandits, from the time of Robin Hood on, Zomora's crew not only robbed and killed, but It also made bandit lovo to the women of the territory through which It passed. Re sultant wrangles nnd Jealousies led Zamora, In Imitation of more famous outlaws, to decide on a bold plan. Riding down one day toward Uio beautiful little village of Autlan, he said to his men: "Below us ore the homes of many beautiful women. You dogs who are so amorous will take what women seem good to you, but I will have no qunrrels over them. For each man a woman, if he wants to be burdened The Attraction Was Mutual. with her on the roud." Pedro Zamora himself had no 'intention of taking a woman with him. He considered them ns beneath his dignity as a bandit chieftain. The Zamora band rode out of Autlan at sundown with 23 women captives and on that first journey Pe dro caught sight of Conchlta' Lopez, a nineteen-year-old girl of unusual beauty. Killed Her Captor. The attraction was mutual nnd Uiat night Conchlta stabbed and killed her captor that she might be with Pedro. From then on they wero Inseparable and when the federal troops began to close In on them, Pedro, nfter burying much of his loot, escaped with Con chlta, taking $20,000 In gold with him. The pair finally agreed to surrender on condition that they be sent to Durnngo and that they retain their loot. And then Conchlta disappeared. Zamora lenrncd sho wns In Mexico City with plenty of money, his $20,000, and that she was living like a queen. He broke his parole and went to tho capital to see for himself, was arrest ed, and assassinated In his cell. There are many who believe that Con chltn knows where Pedro's loot Is burled and that sho will go thero and recover It. Zamora, the last of the Mexican bandits, was scarcely twenty seven years old when he wns killed. And Conchlta Lopez, under another name, Is now the toast of Mexico City.
