Walter's cavalcade was d to the train of a large military force moving toward the roast It was sur-rounded with a peculiar consideration through the effort of Pen It wa supposed, somehow, to be especially des-tined for tho lilrator, whom tho eyos of his partisans were every moment ex-pecting in this part of tho country. In auy annoying or tedious situation it was oidy neowwiry to cry brusquely, "Anns for the general! Supplies for Iho gener-al!" to have room promptly made for it nml a commodious place opened to the front. There were plenty of wild spirits in the command, howover, upon whom it w:w necessary to keep an ever vigilant eye. They would have been glad at any moment to plunder the hacienda along the way, bnt such license must have re-sulted in disaster, and Walter reprewed it with prudent severity. A hot tiro of revolution began to flame op around the trcasuro train as it proceeded. It had to lie almost constantly in line of battle, for there wa no telling at what point the danger would break oat Puebla had expelled its garrison and declared for the insurrection; Tlaxoala wa in a state of siego; and more or les successful revolt was heard all along the line as far as Orizaba and even Cordoba. The lovely peak of Orizaba at length hove in sight, its snowy top showing above a rugged mass of rosy red amid a fortilo green landscape. At Uie station of Esperanta Walter overtook most un-expected friends. On. del Prado had Indeed got himself into trouble by hi abusive tongue. It appeared that the enterprising Capt. Carvajal had em-ployed bis leisure in a small operation on hi own account. lie had oicod tho railway train on one of it last down-ward trips, in spite of a between the contending parties that it hould beexempt from captnre, and held the passengers for ransom. Most of them were let go, but Ckm. del Prado and hi party were hold the general acting noon the theory that even the reticence of common prudence In his talk would be oonstrued as acquiescing in his appar-ent treachery. It required but a word from Walter to Carvajal, in the peculiar relation in which they now stood to each other, to have them released. It wa not yot too late; the American minister had not sailed, and they were annt en tohiin with some apologioa and a strong eacort to Cordoba. He was awaiting at that pleasant town, situated on high ground above the dangerous heat of tho Tierra Caliento, the departure of the steamer. Amy had again but a brief glimpse of Walter. 8he saw him, msolute, martial looking, leading his men, and wa im-pressed to the utmost with a sense of ber own feebleness at the sight of that strong Ciaaculin energy. Ever sine the had pt".ed la fa gnrdon ah had been think-ing, tM&ktng, thlaktng.

They were not completely surrounded, and the men worked strenuously with long poles to free themselves, but all this could effect nothing. The chinampas were formed of a nu-cleus of water plants closely interwoven. Upon this a thin soil had formed by de-composition. The mud of the lake, washing over them in storms, and the dust blown by the winds had added to it Then flowers, reeds and grasses had sprung up. The thickness varied from a few inches to several feet, and below them was deep water. Don Walter found himself condemned to pass the rest of the night listening to the frogs and watching the twinkling fire flies in the marshes. He was like ono in a nightmare, who feels the im-perious need of straining every nerve for flight yet is benumbed and cannot raise hand or foot Once a bluish flame i danced on the high top of the small cone shaped island of Le Copa which lay in his course. His fears made it seem some signal of the enemy, who he fancied had already got in his van, bnt he heard one j of the men say it was only "the witches' fire," a kind of natural that often burned there and indicated a breeze in the morning. When morning came, however, a gray mist hung ior a while over everything, which was a fortunate circumstance. Walter recalled the voyagers 6hut in amid the ice floes of the Arctic. The boat was surrounded on three sides, but on the other wore floating islands and irregular tongues and fragments, which, though numerous, still afforded prospect of escape. The men were got out and put in a kind of towing harness, and a mule also was landed, for the surface was sometimes strong enough even to support grazing cattle and the native huts. - But these assistants floundered painfully along one of the men being only saved from sinking out of sight by the personal bravery of Walter and very slow progress was made. Meantime, the boats had been put in as good a state of defense as possible. Suddenly the fog lifted and showed that this was a precaution by no means thrown away, for the enemy were ap-proaching. They had by some means secured three bateaux of their own, be-sides a number of small boats. Their large craft could not approach closely, it is true, for the same reason that prevent-ed Walter's progress, but no such limita-tion hindered the light proas and cha-lupa- s; these darted hither and thither at will. Corcovedo disembarked on the chin-ainp- a a large force, in charge of exper-ienced guides. His men avoided the weaker spots, screened themsolves in the tall rushes, and, when they had come within range, even crawled on their hands and knees. Don Walter's fore-most boat, making a desperate push under dread of impending capture, final-ly broke through her embarrassments and escaped into the open lake. Ho signaled her not to attempt to render him assist-- , ance, but to look out for her own safety. ' The Qombat could have only one pos-sible issue. Adversaries swarmed on nearly all sides in the light boats, and those on the land presently sprang up and charged with fierce yells. They en-tered at the bow, the stern and amid-ships, all at the same moment. If thrown hack, they were driven on again by the swords of their leaders, whom a taste of the treasure had made like ravening wolves. So this strange combat raged in ' the marshes, and many men fell in death among the fragrant flowers through which they bad crawled in their energy of pursuit. Don Walter recognized some of the vory men of the Third bat-talion of the line who hod made the in-solent foray into the garden the day he was' with Amy. Pablo drew himself stealthily to his feet among the bodies on the deck and attempted to stab him, but was cut down in the act, and thus that reveiureful servitor finally met his person had come out with another boat of small size and containing few men, but these were all that could be spared from Rio Frio. They put in to the little island of La Copa, a solid granite rock containing a cup like crater. The enemy could be seen transferring the bags of gold and their prisoners to one of their craft, leaving their unwieldy prize where it lay. Perex was for abandoning what they had lost, great as it was, and re-treating to save what still remained to them. "I regret it beyond measure," said he, "and I am the last man in tho world to give it up while a single chance offers, but I bow to the inevitablo, and there is not a thing we can do." "No, no! I will never give it up! I cannot give it up!" cried Walter, in an agony of protest. "It is easy for yon to advise, you who have nothing at stake. I will die first! it i) my life. Oh, why did I not die when I was so very near it?" Ho wished to fortify the island aud await attack there till Kaufmaim could be communicated with in the mountains and brought to join them in an offensive movement "They will not attack us," said Perez. "In my opinion they will go down the lake, content for thepruaeut with what they have, and will to&a.no more risks upon it" All the indications seemed to confirm what he said. Tho hamlet at the foot of the rocky peak was a peaceful place, with a couple of ancient pabn trees growing beside its small church, and the water off the shore deep and clear. Its prin-cipal industry was the making of mats from the rushes of tho lake. Walter saw an Indian girl go in a cbalupa and de-posit some of these in a canoa of a much swifter build than most of its class al-ready partly loaded with them. Instant-ly a daring new conception flashed into his craving mind. , "J-i- us lure them on," he proposed to Perea; "tompt them with the prospect of getting the rest of the treasure also. You and Gassol must pretend to fly and draw the others after you, and I in the swift boat will play the lame duck with Corcovedo and then fall upon him by surprise and capture him." "They will see through the trick," re-joined Perez; "they won't be taken in by it-H- e gave in his adhesion, however, to a plan of which he disapproved, and pre-pared to carry out his part in it with a kind of gloomy cheerfulness. He was right in his predictions. Corcovedo, flushed with victory, was in fact drawn after them by the surprising spectacle of the much weaker party awkwardly com-ing out as if to attack him. He baffled them by keeping his small flotilla woll together, however, and then they had really to fly. At nightfall, wholly discomfited, they reached the landing place from which they were to start for Rio Frio, But under cover of the dark night Walter made one last desperate unheard of attempt. With a picked crew, who could hardly have known how mad their enterprise was, and rowing with muffled oars, he pulled away and found Coroo-vedo- 's bateau at some distance from the others. He fell upon it with such valor and fury, born of Ids despair, that noth-ing could stand before him. Intheun-corteinit- y as to whom it was they had to deal with, the other boats fell into a panic and were unable to render any as-sistance. Don Walter, scarcely able him-self to credit so great a good fortune, found himself once more the master of all his treasures, together with the pris-oners who had been taken. No wild, un-reasonable enterprise was ever crowned with happier success. Senor Corcovedo unless drowned in the attempt had escaped to one of the remaining craft CHAPTER XVIL mi 1A8T OAXPAIOlf AND EMBARKATION. The tragio hostility dravyn out by Don Walter's expedition bad precipitated the revolution. .The hour had struck at Rio Frio, tne pronunclamlanto had been is-sued and the populace had ranged them-selves for the struggle. It was an ex-traordinary proof of friendship for Wal-ter in Perot's part to have absented himself from affair Of the greatest mo-ment at such a time, but he was found with his hands trebly full to compensate . forit "I had hoped to accompany you part of the way," he said, "but that will now be impossible. There is not, however, the least need of it. You have devel-oped the true military instinct. It is yon who ought to lead and I to follow." lurid stain of blood. But this mood was not of long duration; his indomitable courage reasserted itself. There waa hope in the fact that the force above, making their way by a route which they opened for the first time, progressed at a slower rate than his own. He urged on his command yet faster, doubling, and again tripling their pay as an induce-ment: but after awhile the enemy above disappeared from sight, and then the re-sult was only a matter of conjecture. In this march fell at last poor Trinidad Jose; and his faithful dog, who had been the cause of so much amusement, having stayed behind, pining over his master's body, came to be dispatched by a cruel blow from a saber. The canyon narrowed rapidly towards its termination. At this point, to which the mules were only got with great diffi-culty, extended across a formidable nat-ural mound or palisade. As Walter neared it he feared every instant to see the heads of foes appear above it from the other side, but he was not yet inter-cepted; The barrier was an excellent place behind which to withstand an en-emy either from witMn or without, but, naturally, could not be made available on both sides. He determined to hold it against the pursuers while awaiting the return of a reconnoitering party sent out to look for . the expected boats and aid Jr.n Capt Perez. Failing these, he would march on, and, if need be, perish on thy shore of the lake. From, the top a scene of peculiar beauty and grandeur presented itself. The lake, in a great crater ring, formed perhaps by the same agencies that had rent the grim Barranca through the mountain, spread out from a desolate alkali whiten-ed shore in front to vast mountains be-yond. A stepping stone as it were to the mountains, rose a green table land so high as to seem almost inaccessible, and among the peaks was one topped with snow of which Walter had some-times caught glimpses during his labors. The lake was not an unbroken stretch of water, for, besides a little rocky isl-and of conical form, it had frequent ex-panses of the extraordinary growth known as chinampas, a kind of amphibi-ous meadow more or less free from at-tachment to the bottom, and often so light as to be driven before the winds. Near the shore, irregular channels ex-tended among them, connecting one open space with another. - The crack of rifles in a new attack of the pursuers had already begun when the searching party returned. They brought back with them a gruff sort of individ-- nal in a fur cap, who proved to be an American named Barnley. He belonged to a command, chiefly composed of for-eigners, which was secreted with the runaway Kaufmann in the mountains, waiting to take part in the expected rising. Capt. Perez had communicated with Kaufmann, who had detailed Barn-le- y with perhaps a corporal's guard of men to assist in the matter of the boats. He had lately come down from the wind swept mining gorges of Pachuca, where a fur cap was not out of place, and he chose to wear his just the same in the tropics also. ' "A little time's been lost by my com-ing back with your men to see if you were the right parties," said he, "but that's better than making a mistake. CHAPTER XVL . BATTLES FROM CAMPO FLORTDO TO LAKE JORNADA. That revengeful tcrvitor finally met hU end. Corcovedo counted by a rapid pursuit, if not on capturing the fugitives, on forc-ing them to throw down their burdens, the securing of which was far more im-portant for him. But Don Walter-press- ing into the service, besides, all the - mules he could lay hands on along the way got an extraordinary speed out of his heavy laden men. He hurled great rock down into the path behind him, and covored his march with a small rear gurjd which kept tho enemy in continual dread of being ambuscaded. The district was practically deserted, the native laborers having fled for fear of being seized for military duty; all doors in El Jasmin were tightly closed, only a few dogs came out and barked at the heels of the retreating warriors. At night the rain came down heavily, and they went on in a soaked and sodden con-dition, often knee deep in mud, their fire-arms rusting even as they bore them. At midnight, overcome with fatigue, they camped at some deserted huts, but next morning an ample breakfast and the re-newed splendor of an unclouded sun re-stored their spirits. Retreating in this masterly manner, it was not till the hamlet of Huetongo was reached that they were overtaken by the enemy, and even then only be-cause Walter permitted it. He thought , best to make a stand at this point, and he fortified himself by leveling some of the small houses and throwing a barri-cade across the entrance of the main street, from the fond.l on one side to the parish church on the other. He felt the necessity of striking a blow and holding the adversaries severely in check, other-wise they would press too closely upon the expedition at the critical moment of - entering the Barranca, which could not 'trat liave a disastrous' effect Corcovedo advanced three times anil was as often beaten back, and when he finally made himself master of the pos-itionhaving at last adopted the policy of setting fire to the buildings and mov- - . ing by slow and cautious approaches-- he found it had been deserted some time .before.' Straight sticfis, simila ting mus-ket barrels, and hats stuck upon twigs had been arranged to mislead him. So enraged was he at the deception and at his loss that he brutally dispatched a few of Walter's wounded who had been left behind. , . ; ' ' with pUamre at la Mine moment.

When the young commander saw that no further shred of hope remained, he caused a white flag to be raised on an oar from behind a portion of the cabin which he had kept clear as a last refuge. Having taken this step in the hope of preventing the effusion of more blood, he himself , as in Bupreme despair, plunged overboard. Tha victors waited for him to come up, with pieces at their shoulders ready to fire. But he did not reappear at all, and they niade up their minds that in the disappointment of his utter over-throw he had put an end to himself. Don Walter, howevftr,a powerful swim-mer, having dived beneath the surface, had remained there so long a time that ho was all but bursting, and then came np among the sedge on the border of a piece of the terra inflrma many rods away. He presented bnt the merest frac-- j tion ef his visage to the upper air, and even then shots were being fired in his direction in an experimental way. i When his lungs were full once more, he dived again, thi time with an origi-nal, almofit incredik-le- plan. It was hi purpose to swim directly beneath the chinampa, as legend related that bandits had sometimes done when pursued after ; their attacks on commerce in similar lakes. It was naturally an undertaking full of great peril. He propelled himself swiftly through the dark and murky waters; vine like tendril and roots reaching nearly to the bottom caught him and impeded his progress; above could be dimly made out convoluted masses like the Gorgon's snaky locks. On first rising he bad miscalculated hi distance, his head touched something ' viscid and trammeling. Consciousness grew vague; surely now the end had come and so he had ended thus! the terrible drumming in his temples grew fainter, the suffocation less painful; his motions were weak. And then, and then with gasps that seemed as if they must rend a human frame asunder, he breathed again; he no longer strangled; he saw the dear mrt never had he i thought to look upon it more. j Lilies yellow and white, scarlet pop-pie- s, and the1 scarlet water pepper , pangled the surface on which he dragged himself out to rert his weary limbs, and the broken spaces of water reflecting the blue sky contrasted tenderly with the soft green of th vegetation; how could heaven ever permit lust of gold, suffer-ing and slaughter, in o smiling a pros-- When Don Walter wa finally received on board the remaining boat he wa more Hke one from the dead than a They had been about to turn away aaiabaodon the scene, believing not asoAitad escaped, when he am ' gwrssmatur. aod hailing them a Ug dis-taa-outtfrata th o called land. . Thia boat, commanded by Antonio Qanapl. htl it1" 1 Perez in ,.. . v. - t .You can have two canoas, one big one, pretty heavy and slow, the other smaller and medium fast, bnt they'll carry you, and they were the best we could do in these times. This end of the lake is pretty well skinned of boats, and it has mighty few at any time: so I don't seo how any one's going to follow you." "And yet we have no timo to lose," re-joined Walter. "Hark! there's the enemy's other division cheering now. They have heard the firing, and are prob-ably coming down on us. We may be even now too late to escape them." "They've got another division, have they?" "Yes; the principal one is above there." ' "I'm glad to kno-- that," said Barnley. "It would be mighty inconvenient for Kaufmann to have them come on him unawares after you've given them the slip. Til tell you what 111 do: if you'll take care of these I'll agree to stop the others with my own squad. If I can get to the Cajones the Boxes in time, I can hold them as long' as you please. Tha Cajones is the most elegant place to cor-ner a company you don't want to bother you. As like as not those parties won't get here before morning." "But we cannot acriflce you to our jonvenience." ' "Oh, don't you be afraid abont me. I know plenty of noles around tnere to hide in afterwards." Encouraged by the distant cheering of their friends, the pursuers made a new onset. There was another battle, many more lives were lost, but the rear guard stood firm as before, and under cover of its defense and the gathering dusk Wal-ter embarked with all his goods and chat-tels on the boats. There was no time now to think of unearthing any other treasure, and the portion he had buried on the shore was abandoned to wait til! who could say what distant day in the dim future before it should see the light . Snap! snap! from the pistols, and crack! crack! from the rifles of the baffled Cor-covedo, who was left in impotent rage on the darkening strand. The men, shel-tering themselves behind the piled up hags, plied their paddles with all speed. The canoas were clumsy but capacious flat boats of but a few inches' draught When the night settled down all lights were put out, that their whereabout might not be disclosed to the enemy if by any chance they were followed. Walter remained in the last and heaviest of them, which was the post of donfasr. Toward midnight, when trying to get a little leep in a low cabin amidships, he waa aroused by a dull thud and all pervading jar. "The chinampas!- - the - chinampasr called out the alarmed voicea of ths The wind had changed and insensibly inclosed them in the clogging embrace of this strange vegetation. A hail from the smaller boat in advance, almost im-- , tafediafcdy aftetrhowe4 Jisat H had met He came up with the retreating party anew at the borders of the Barranca. But, thanks to the stout defense at the breastworks, the greater part of the treasure was already at tho bottom of the trail. Again a skillful rear guard hotly contested the way. Here, too, a new subterfuge was employed. Mules . with mock loads of treasure and loudly tinkling bells were sent down by mis-leading paths and also through the jun-gle alonK the edge or the chasm. These were eagerly followed and served to dis-tract attention from the real movements. - The valiant rear guard, directed, by Wal-ter, having accomplished all that was possible above,' now plunged down tho steep descent They took refuge in nooks and crannies, and, aided by skill-ful Bharpshooling from below, still fired back with telling effect upon the aggress-ors. . Now and then one on each side fell in his tracks. Tho enemy rolled down huge fragments of rock, as in some battle of tha giapts; but these, after all, were more terrifying than dangerous. The train was well on its way again along the bottom of the Barranca before Corcovedo's men fairly entered it. As they formed and began to press forward, they were startled and given pause for a i while by a dire explosion. Walter had. concentrated all his remaining explosives at a single point, and now fired the mine. Its effect was to remove, the arti-ficial dike thrown up by the late earth-quake and allow the boiling stream to rush in over its old bed once more. The accumulated treasure was now safely hidden from every human eye. Up to this last moment he had cherished a lingering hope of being able to take out a still further amount Pablo, for his part, stared round the canyon with greedy and fearful eye, but nothing was as it had been on the occa-aionto- f bis visit with his master. The uperstition of the Yellow Snake still held good with his. companions, and tt was only with great difficulty that some of them we're urged forward. Those who had objected most strenuously were Joined tea body of reinforcements which had come up and were sent to skirt along he margin of the Barranca. What with the difficulties of the ground and he caution inaoired by the prowess of he pursued, the advance below was fceoessarily slow, but Corcovedo said, with savage glee: , "We shall take them presently liie rata in a trap." He counted on pushing them from nd while the force should cut them off on their exit in front Walter, too, saw this danger, and he began to be weighed down by a heavy depression. His men had effected prod-igies of valor, but as likely as not defeat and destruction finally awaited them.
