"Our property was in tho haads or a CHAPTER V. 1A on 8CH AHOKQ JTETAiS," torn, frJl of smokbig springs and siilfat-ara- s. Portions of the cliff wore green with a verdure o! oisoious acida. Some oaku of a peculiar toughness clung to the crannies of tho rocks, and down on the slopes, such as form a glacis at tho foot of precipices, could be seon, soattered sparsely, tall stems of organ cactus, like spears of the gods hurled down from tho sky. Wreaths of steam drifted out from the precipitous sides and occasionally formed a veil, shutting off the whole from sight. The guide led up, then down, in a very irregular way, and finally brought them to where the path eudod abruptly on a ledge with almost measureless altitude above and depths below. There was ab-solutely no possibility of going further. "What does this mean?" demanded Walter, sternly. The man, changing countenance, re-- "Does some old Aztec divini-ty then really exist in this lonely spot, and has ho choseu to show himself to lne, the greatest of .skeptics!-'- ' Sensible, even while this confused fancy passed through his mind, that the phenomenon would bo accounted for in some natural way, he could not free himself nevertheless from a definite awe and dread. Fe'lowing his first hasty impulse, ho detained a fragment of rock to throw down upon.it. "If it be some rare specimen," ho went on in his cogitations, "why has no nat-uralist made it the choist of his treas-ures? Why has no hunter made it the most remarkable of his trophies?"' His missila fell with a cranli beside it, but the creature did not stir. Thou he hastily whipped out his revolver and fired. Still, whether he had hit or missed it, oidy the same result. No faintest semblance of hatte or alarm; the same it, with so little to repay the trouble." Pablo, for his part, had no mor.j in-forming report to oiier. At tho first op-portunity, too, he left bis master en-tirely and Bought sorvie elsewhere, at which Don Walter, with certain now projects revolving in his h'ad, was not at all displeased.

A part of it was cut the solid rock. There were brooks forded where the swift water ran ; high on his horse, and places to imbed and descended more like pre-11- 8 stairways than a road. Now hen he saw some mild Indian Daph-imlin- ? cattle, or a peasant coming pliod, confusedly, "I have forgotten." He conld not be made available for any further service. They climbed back again, and ho escaped like tho other. But Walter, meantime, had had a glimpse of a place, perhaps a mile fur-ther on, where a practiced eye, arguing from continuous vegetation that found a foothold there, might infer that a path descended. Their way was hewn thither through the thick forest growth, and ho proved to be right. Over almost obstacles they at length en-tered the valley, strewn with the wreck, as it were, of another world. Tho cyclopean processes of nature, elsewhere discreetly hidden, wero here openly at work. The ground smoked from a hundred fumaroles and othor vents, and around them the fragments of rocks granite, sandstones, limestones and slate, brought up by the resistless force that had torn through them from tho lowest depths were crumbling in whitish flakes under the attack of power-ful escaping gases. A great sunken bowl which Walter proceeded to call at once slow, deliberate, gathering motion on the part of the Yellow Snake continued. Finally, steadying his hand securely--fur surely his aim must have been con-fused by the tremors of his heart ho fired once more. While he still watched keenly for tho effect the Yellow Snake suddenly swelled to its utmost bulk, moved rapid-ly down the smooth rock, nnd shot off like lightning into the boiling flood. No mortal creature could survive such a temperature, and yet the ancient tradi-tion was on record. Ho hurried down from his post, sought a new coigne of vantage, and saw tho appearance recommence. Again tho yel-low head peeping forth, again tho sinu-ous body, again the thickening and broad-ening. Had it crept back miraculously through somo crevico from the spring, or was this yet another Yellow Snake, and was a whole family of thorn about to pass before his eyes? Again it darted along the rock and took its wild plunge. This time it seemed to burst into a hun-dred scintillations as it touched the sur-- i U it out that bo did not k.p mncn lor mm-md-but lt it all in his pvulaUou; I believ that Ui th niual way.

In feverish hasto, the bold explorer laid hold upon anything at command to make a temporary footway. Some small cedars, of a tough variety flourishing even there, made a principal resource. Constructing with his blanket and some twigs a sort of buckler against the heat, he passed over to the flat rock. He tired at new materialization of the form even as he went. This timo it was sure-ly hit, for some bright splashes flew into the air, as if its very life blood, too, were shilling yellow. It was not a spot where one could stay long, but fortunately no long stay was needed.

The quaint, spacious establishment, nniting, like many others of its claim, peculiarities derived from tho Moors with a florid ronaissalicc. architecture, had been occyied by turns as a ware-house and barracks, and the main tower of its church was cracked by an earth-quake. In the cloister garden, for the most disorderly and even part overgrown, squalid, a small spot was cleared, where a stone seat was placed. This was bef ore deserves thin confidence?" she asked him.

It was the t promising place for negotiations, vever, and Don Walter left the horses re, and, with great difficulty, secured an improvised shelter. Next morning they began their explorations. Pablo- -a fat little man of no great character or stability-find- ing himself fairly inside the gorge und safe enough thus far, seemed less disturbed in mind than be-fore They ranged first down towards the iower end of it, where a difficult ac-cess could be had through a defile to a largo volcanic hike without.

Returning, confused by tho wreaths of steam circling round him, his foot dipped, and it was littlo hhort of a miracle that his toils had not onded then and there. But he bore away the peculiar yellow flakes for examination. He established himself in a place of safety by the cool brook, and proceeded to test them with acid, by trial of their weight, and other convincing means known to the assayer. What did he find? Ah, what indeed? The splashes of metal scattered oyer the rock by his fire, and encompassing his bullets, were pure gold.. Tho Yellow Snake was but a molten stream of the curest cold. a wall on which, by some good fortuno, two orthrre fragments ol what had once been extensive frescoes still remained. The plastered walls showed traces of target practice, or perhaps the fusilado of a siege. Some pious hand had lately put fresh carnations and roses in the pits left by the balls that had pierced a figure of Christ. I "Don Walter did this," said Dona Bea-triz. indicating the improvements. "How, Don Walter? Is he, then, of a religious turn?" "On tho contrary; or rather, like his father, he has tho relignm of tho Ameri-cans, which is different from ours, He has even given me somo books to prove Whatever influence I may have exerted upon her is apart from my own doing.
