I tmlled reassuringly. "A little craft, my own. a little guile, and we have won." She iiave me a divine smile, kissed her brother tenderly, and then we went out, leaving the Senorita and P1nl together. "Take hold ot my stirrup, Polito," I aald.. ''and walk beside the horse, as a prisoner should." We traveled two flltreets east'W ard and then turned north. "It you a:re un:tam1llar wlth the clty of Valencia, )[ajor Garde, I might tell you that the calabozo lles southeast." ..Therefore we go north, PoUto, tor I 4o not llke calnbozos; and you must be very soon upon the road to Puerto Cabello." "Senor," be cried, "you cannot do this thing I I cannot permit you." "It Is not that you permit, PolltoJOU are my prisoner. Your life Is ln danger, Polito, and because of you, 70ur sister, who loves you, Is ln deadly danger." "Perhaps I am stupid," be said. "Don't you see, my friend?

Then I shall return with all speed to Colonel Pint, who may have other errands tor me.n Halting anon, before a tiny fonda, I lifted the tat somnolent storekeeper out of a late siesta by aid ot a lusty yell.

He took my hand, tears ln his eyes, then he turned and bent bls steps toward the port of Cabello. I gave my horse hls bead and we raced through the streets of Valencia, to the danger of all and sundry, for my mental picture of Pfnl and the Senorita was not a pleasant one. I had determined, at last, to settle my aft'alr wtth the clever colonel. The Senora Ybarra let me to and. as I heard a murmur of voices from the chamber I stopped at the portal and, hidden by the rude portieres, llstened. The votce of.

Every hour since tbnt moment I have been filled with contrition. Will you not listen to my words o:t pleading, Senorita?" I beard her frightened murmur, and Pint went on again: "I am a poor slave, Senorita, to my love for thee; I am a moth burned In the flame ot thy beauty. May I ask-?"
