CHAPTER V.
The Came Begins.
Teresa de la Guerra’s face went red [
and white, and Torre, seeing, smiled.
She heard In the words.only an in-
sult to her beloved p.ipn grande, know-
lng as she so weft knew that or all j
men the old Spaniard hated his arro-
gant young kinsman most implacably.
“We don’t understand," she said
presently, turning her back upon the
man at table and addressing Stanway.
“Perhaps Captain Juarez’ call will
cleat matters for us. Win you come
with me, Senor Stanway?”
Torre’s face darkened as he watched
them go out together.
In the drawing room. In mnch worn
uniform bespeaking his rank, a very
broad, heavy-set Mexican, swarthy,
hard-featured, koon-eyed, was waiting.
He bowed deeply nfs they entered.'
“Senorlta,” he said briskly, his eyes,
disregarding Sinnway and resting
upon the girl’s face In a keen regard,
“It la on unpleasant duty which
brings me here.this morning.”
“Be seated,” she anid quietly, going
to a chair. "But tirst, Captain Juarez,
this Is ray ftiend, Senor’ Stanway of
the Painted Rock rancho.”
The two men bowed coolly. Stan-
way remained .standing near the girl’s
chair, while Juarez sat down.
“We of poor Mexico," said the cap-
tain shortly, "are fighting hard for a
dear cause. We sacrifice ourselves,
our hopes, our homes for the thing
we love mos^, senorlta.
“And that Is our country. We do
things which wc do not like to do
Simply because It Is our duty to take
any opportunity which chance gives us
to free the neck of our land from the
foot of tha, tyrant.” _
Teresa bowed.
“And you have called this morn-
ing; you have crossed the border—”
“At the behest of a Mexican’s duty.
-Senorlta, your grandfather is well and
semis his love to you.”
“fell me," she cried Impetuously,
“where Is lie?"
“Many miles beyond the border,” he
answered succinctly. “In the hands
of friends—If lie nccedes to our de-
mands,” significantly.
“And those demands?" curiously.
“I hnve not ns yet made of hhn," re-
turned the captain. “Allow me to ex-
plain, seuoritn. I know $enor de la
Guerra, if not personally at least very
well by repute. I know that he does
not love my Mexico, and'thnt he is
very stubborn.
“Our cause needs money and he has
It In great, unnecessary quantities.
“Had I made a demand upon him
for a note to you. stating that lie was
held for ransom and urging you to pay
It, I know that he would have refused.
So I come straight To you, without so
much as a word to him, Informing yon
that unless the money is sent immedi-
ately—”
He broke off, shrugging his shoul-
ders.
“You realize, senor," broke in Stnn-
w-ay coolly, "that this. Is rather an un-
usual sort of thing at this day? That
it is not without danger to you? If
the senorlta were not disposed to give
whut you ask, if on the other hand
wc held you for the crime jqu have
committed—•"—-
Again the captnia shrugged.
"It would mean imprisonment for
me, or perhaps death,” he answered
promptly. “Things-which a soldier
faces every day of his life anil grows
to think nothing about. And—pardon
me, senontip—it would mean the death
of the Senor de la Guerra.”
Again a Uttle shiver trembled
through the frame of the girl. Stan-
way, Ills eyes steady upon the Mexi-
can's, was silent a moment. Finally
he said, turning to Teresa:
“Before you give this gentleman his
answer, senorlta, may I ask for a few
words with you?”
“May I Interrupt again?” It was
Eduardo Ramon Torre, Insolent and
debonair, bowing in the doorway, a
fresh, unllghted cigarette between hia
fingers. «‘Bueuos dlas, Senor el Capl-
tan.”
Captain Juarez stared at him fixed-
ly, Ills hard eyes ns Insolent as those
of Torre, and made no. answer.
“I think, senor,” went on Torre In
mock courtesy, stm lounging In' the
doorway, “that It is with me .that you
wish to deal. Am I not right, prima
lata?" lightly to Teresa.
The girl’s eyes darkened. Juarez
looked from one to another curiously .to. 4"H» W
' “I .in,ik," he said ^D-x-nattonal president of the
Oita have buslness with no one except
la senorlta. She is the one to speak
In a case like this one, since the .old
senor is not here to speak for himself
and shg Is bis heiress.”
“Let your keen eyes rest on this.”
Torre drew the will from his pocket
and carelessly tossed It into Juarez’
lap.
The Mexican looked at It swiftly,
his eye ran down the written sheet,
and he started palpably when hi*
glance rested upon the name Eduardo
have^\een misinformed,” he
to his feet, "The se-.
"Rumor at times Is misinformed,’
Tdrre said smilingly. “You hnve the
will nnd testament Itself before you.
If It Is sufficiently plain that I and
not the senorlta,” with an apologetic
bow to Teresa, “represent my kina-
man ; I trust tliqt you will state your
errand concisely."
“It Is this,” said Juprez shortly. "El
Senor de la Gnerrn Is held by my
men for ransom. Twenty thousand
dollnrs will bring him bark to you
promptly, without a scratch on him.
A iTfusnl to pay will be a signal for
his death.”
"So,” remarked Torre coolly. “It Is
only twenty thousand dollars. You
are modest, senor!”
“American money,” Juarez added as
coolly.
"American money.” nodded Torre.
"That Is better than Mexlean pesos,
at any rate. It is at least less Insult-
ing to my kinsman.”
Captain Juarez made no reply. Te-
resa andJ3tanwny looked at each other
swlftft.
Torre, smiling ns though the whole
matter „ were merely amusing, ad-
dressed himself to the girl.
“Tergsltn,” and she flushed under
the easy familiarity, “perhaps the val-
iant captain has not yet breakfasted.
He has a long ride before him nnd It
would be better If hf should not carry
away a misunderstanding of the De la
Guerra hospitality. Also, while he has
his coffee, you and I might discuss
the situation?” a
"Yes,” the girl agreed slowly. "That
would perhaps be best.” Her hand
went to the bell cord to snmnion Pe-
dro. “We have just breakfasted, senor
eapltnn. If you will go with Fedro he
will see that you are servedv And Se-
nor' Torre, Senor Stanway and myself
con avail ourselves, of the time to
come to ar dectston.”
