He was conscious that his feet :
crunched upon gravel paths which :
wound in and out among shrubbery, !

against him. and once he thought it ;
probable that he was again within the
secluded garden of the Taeubaya gam- :

There was the yielding touch of soft
carpeting under his tread, and the
warm air was quite in contrast with
the chill without, lie was bidden cour
teously to wait one moment and was
left standing in the middle of the lioor.
lie heard the sound made by a closing
door, and after what seemed an inter
minable period, although it could not
have been more than a minute or two,
he attempted to relieve himself of the
blinding serape.
There -was no resistance, and upon
casting it aside he discovered that he
was aione. His conductor had disap
peared. j For a moment he stared around him
i in amazement. This was certainly not
, the sort of treatment he had expected.
I He began to think that perhaps they
I were not oanuits atter tul; tne sur- j
j round tugs of that moment did not surj-
gest :mch an explanation. The room
i was richly, even luxuriously, fnriiish
' ed, and his first quick glance told him
that it was the favorite living room of
a lady; the pictures on the walls, the
' chairs, the piano and the books that
i lit'red the table all assured him of
blhig house. She kent her face iuriu'd
away notwithstanding the fact that it
was concealed by the lace inaniilla.
But he had already seen it twice since"'
he came to Mexico, and he understood
the act to mean that she did not wish
him to address her. so he permitted her
to depart in s ilence.

easy thing to do, for he realized that
even Agramonte, Ids friend, would find
it hard to believe that he had been for

his second would lese no time in brand

according to tho code duello. Captain ;
Romero would have the undisputed
right to refuse another appointment.
In concentrating his mind upon these i
perplexities he also unconsciously con- '
cent rated his gaze upon a given point
among the shrubbery at a spot where
two paths parted at an acute angle, i
both to disapfsar in the darkness, and '.
suddenly at the apex of the two paths ;
he discerned motion. j
- At first he believed it to be an animal ;
of some kind, but it seemed larger, and
presently he decided that it was a hn- .
man figure stretched at full length
upon the ground and slowly, but sure

stood. Instantly his perplexities were
