All that portion of the republic was in turmoil. I was engaged upon a peculiar mission, hence disguised. I stepped past her into the hall, lifted my hat and said courteously t "With pleasure. It is your apart* meat—a t your will,” and I heard the door bolted on the Inside and went, down te the lobby, applauding myself ’ for a kind deed. In a very few mo­ ments two men In uniform accompa* bled by a servant come bustling down the stairs and up to the desk of the hotel clerk, They were red, perspir­ ing, aafgry, . “We have not found herl” spoke one of the .i fflcers, "The Indy you describe* register name Hermosa Alivlna, was given room 41, this morning.” ’ “I t Is unoccupied .; we have visited Other rooms. She Is not to be found,. . One' apartment was bolted on the in­ side. It was 49,” spoke the servant.* “Ahl that Is your room, is-it not, senor?” interrogated the clerk, and,! arose and came forward. “Mine,” I,bowed with, alacrity, for I t4was not a time to falter or arouse suspicion. "I just left It.” I followed the group up the stair­ case, “Empty 1” pronounced the head offi: cer in a sour, disappointed tone as the barrier was forced, and, he darted a swift glance about Hie room, "Observe1” shrilly called out his compatriot, lifting a _ filmy* dainty dress from a,chair. “Again,” he add­ ed, and pointed to the open window, to a sheet twisted Into a rope dan­ gling Into the- shallow court below. The leader paused momentarily. to direct a scowling glance a t me. “I f I thought you were a party to this escapade—” he began. “Save your words,” I Interrupted calmly, with am' indifferent shrug of the shoulders. “I am,the loser, as I miss a salt of clothes." I took my loss philosophically. I had lost a good deal lately, Xand my partner,- back a t the mines, - . 1 have said that X was disguised. There was a reason. Briefly, my part­ ner and mytelf had just goto u r grant over on the range panning out great,, when the revolution came along. We held a concession from the cen­ tral government, . Fortunately, too, the government of the province had ap­ proved It, This would hold when pbace came around again, provided' It was filed, a t the capital. *' ■*** * • • # ' * 1v * ■ Xnoticed two of the coach passen­ gers—suspicious looking fellows whom I seemed to have seen before. I awoke from a doze, with the ominous words ringing In my ears: “Senor, alight l” One of the men held ,the driver a t bay with a revolver. The other, simi­ larly armed, marched me to the side of the road, carrying my satchel with him. He roughly burst it open, went. over ltd contents and arose to search me, “A certain document, a mining con­ cession—we‘know yon have^lt. Wo want it," he said. “Save. ypurself the trouble of a search," I told the baffled’spy, “The paper in question was taken with a -suit of clothes stolen from me, and doubtless cast It aWay as worthless.” I was allowed to resume my Jour­ ney. My partner joined me in the capital city a little later. We had abandoned all hopes as to the mines. One evening we were, seated in an outdoor cafe enjoying some really creditable music, When my companion touched my foot and whl&pered: ‘The lady a t the table to the left seems greatly interested in you.” I changed my position to view—my lady of the hotel episode l She was radiant with yont£'hcauty and happi­ ness. She arose, h distinguished young man In uniform h e r escort. “Senor, toy friend!” she cried spon­ taneously, clasping both bf my hands., "My husband, Colonel Mendoza. Allxe, It is my great friend, he whose— whose clothes I stole. Oh, slrl to you I owe a life’s happiness. I have sought to locate you—" •To exchange the appar$I in ques­ tion for a certain dainty gown I treas­ ure as * memento?” Xasked gallantly. She blushed divinely, and adderf: “And also to give you a receipt. The paper I found in your coat, senor—I saw Its Importance, a concession, It Is filed with the government,” • “How can I. ever thank you!" 1 cried, truly delighted. “Oh, senor, It Is I who am the debtor, Xand "Alixe.” Then she whis­ pered la her husband’s ear l “May XI" He bowed with an indulgent smile. And then the beautiful girl threw bttg arms around my ne tk -and IrisMdms. gl'SU*W!
