The room was quickly cleared, and we confronted each other In the center of it. Dulce stood by the ornate mantel, one hand upon It to support herself, the other pressed - jainst her face, her pale lips parted, nnd a haunting fear In the depp blue eyes. I turned to face her, and raised my blade In salute. "You will see me, dear one," said I In French, "win another contest with the sword." "Please God, Loren," she whis- pered.

His overconlldeiicc, because of the weakened state of my rigid arm, t ,ht, I imagined, be a handicap to him, so I permitted him to Leut down my guard In the first til he should tire, for greaut strength and greater endurance was mine.

I caught the Senorita's eye, and smiled reassuringly, yet she must have Been my helplessness, for there was no answering smile on her face only that expression of haunting terror. And a new and reckless determination possessed me. I would wiu because I must win, I would kill this man If I had to do It even after his steel bad found my heart. My benumbed arm grew weaker, so that I could barely feel the blows that I tried to parry. Had I not twisted my body lu swift, ridiculous gestures his point would have found me a dozen times. He cried out in vexation: "Do you fence, Senor, or do you thus take your afternoon exercise. Stand up and fight. Are you unfamiliar with the a word?" He attacked furiously, and 1 must needs retreat before his wild frenzy, keeping clear of the walls, and offering Ineffectual parry until my arm had lost Its vigor and my wrist its power to turn his blows. The weapon cluttered to the Boor, and Plnl drove at my chest. Realizing that I was unarmed, he drew back, waiting. "Pick it up. Garde, I do not stab a defenseless man." Yet I think, but for the presence of the Senorita, he would have done so. I knew that, as far as fencing might be concerned, my right arm would never save me, so I gripped the hilt of the sword with my left hand. My left arm and wrist would be, I wus sure. Inept, but they would lack no t it lie of strength, and strength might be, after all- -in a contest with as unskillful a duelist as the colonel sufficient. As his dashing charges became more deliberate, and the force of them relaxed, my confidence Increased, for the professional smile had left his lips, his dancing eyes grew somber, and a pallor of fear touched the olive of his face. Then I advanced In attack,- - slashing and thrusting with no skill but with a deal of power, for the blows that he parried shook him from heel to crown. "Had I one arm only, my colonel, you should have rue with ease but vanquished now " He gasped a fervent oath, and I "You would leave an continued: order for my execution eh, my sophist and Providence has orYou would sell to dered yours. the Senorita the life of her brother? A clever scheme, and worthy of you." "Carraca !" he gasped. He made one last, incautious lunge at me and missed. The Impetus of his falling body drove my point into his chest. He went to his knees, his fingers fastened around the naked biode. "That order of execution, sergeant," he cried, "you will see to it ; you will take him to the calabozo, and tomorrow morning as early as light as as . . ." early He crashed, face down, upon the floor, and the sword broke under the Impact of his fall. Now 1 felt the Senorita's arms around my neck,' felt the tender touch of her lips, and I heard her voice calling my name over and over again. CHAPTER XIII A Night of Madness. THE ancient calabozo of INlencia I stood the a rough-hew- n Va- upon edge of bunk and, holding to bars of the window, the iron watched a red sun go down behind the hills of Barqulsinieto. Alone and facing my last night of life, I lived. In fancy, through the swift passage of events that had filled the few short weeks since that night of moonlight madness In New Orleans. In actions, in emotions, in love and hate and fear, I had lived a long life in that brief I had met brnve and honspace. orable men whose friendship had proved a blessing to me; I had made enemies who had filled my soul with a passion for killing; 1 had seen patriotism In Its highest form, had watched a man win an empire; aye, had assisted, even, In the winning of It, and I had spent my life in the service of a lovely And I was carrying away lady. with me to another nnd surely more beautiful world the blessing of her love. Dulce herself had called my love a madness. Well if madness might glorify one's life with such emotional bliss, then madness was indeed a blessing, and sanity a futile thing. It had been born, I remembered, all at once that love for tlie Senorita. She had come, like an angel, out of the mellow moonlight, and love had overwhelmed me In an instant. My worship had brought me here, here to a gloomy house of horrors which I would leave at dawn to face the rising sun and a tile of armed soldiers. Yet I was glad of my service to the Senorlta. Her brother was safe, and free of tlie menace of Colonel Pint, she was doubtless safe. Pint I had vanquished, yet I'inl's dead hand reached out to crush me. How strangely doth fate direct our destiny, for, between two suns, the Senorita Lnmnrtinn should lose three suitors for her hand. I laughed aloud at the sheer absurdity of the thing, and turning hack to thp iron door, found thp guard standing thpre. tapping upon it. "Can you laugh nt such a time. Senor?" ... (TO BE CONTINUED.)

The flood waters of the Colorado, impounded behind the dam will first generate a million electrte horsepower, then supply water for Irrigation and other uses In southern California. The vote for a $220,000,000 bond issue proves the confidence of in their future and the early arrival of the seven million population, for which the new aqueduct will have sufficient water capacity. (Ml Ij Call-fornia- California's vote will give employment to ten thousand men for six years. The five billion dollar bond issue, advocated by W. R.

It may be absolutely necessary. Our Federal Reserve, admirable institution, unfortunately doesn't work well in a depression. It will discount for banks certain kinds of commercial paper, extremely plentiful In boom times. But in dull times the amount of that paper and Its discounting by the Federal Reserve dwindles. The Federal Reserve in that respect is something like a watch dog that barks until a burglar comes, and then stops barking. A way may be found to make Federal Reserve discounts more flexible, enabling those that have absolutely good security to get currency for it within reason. We need more money. Many will say amen to that. When New York City's seven million people turned their clocks back one hour on September 28th, each of them, if he got up at the usual hour next day, gained one hour's sleep. An Ingenious person calculates that the seven million hours amount to 799 years. New Yorkers thus gained in one night almost eight centuries of sleep. Americans generally would gain a thousand centuries In progress, if they could realize the Importance of sleep, and use wisely the energy that sleep brings. Millions that would not let an automobile battery run down allow the battery of their own nervous energy to be always below par for lack of sleep. One New York police story carries you back to ancient days. Mario Barrone, young, good looking, entered this country fron ttJy illegally. Then he entered the home of Mrs. Margaret Merola, aged 27, and stole her from her husband. The police found Barrone, tied to a bed fn an apartment house where he lived with the stolen Mrs. Merola. Barrone had been tortured with fire, and left to think it over. Mrs. Merola had vanished, and police believe she has been murdered. Italians take such things seriously, so much so that the new criminal code recently adopted in Italy, expressly exempts from any punishment a murder committed by an injured husband. The American Legion, demanding a referendum, that legislators may know what their constituents want, now suggests one way out. The American Legion sets a good example to some other Americans by voting against a new bonus proposal and new demands on the public pocketbook. The legion did not resent President Hoover's appeal to their patriotism and self denial. They appreciated his courage in making that appeal with 1932 so close at hand. New York State appoints a "Big Three" to spend twenty millions on unemployment relief. To avoid any dole, no money will be paid except for labor. No work, no cash.
