In order to assure ,themselves of this help, a messenger was despatch- ed by a circuitous route to the Palms to ask the aid of the resident direc- tor,sent to the minandthr was and e es to work upon the feelings of 1 thgg eoldiers themselves. The officer wlho had been sent to the Palms to petition Clay for the loan of ;his sol- dier -workmen, had decided to remain until ,Clay returned, and another mes- senger had :been sent atter hien from the camp on the same errand. These two lieutenants greeted Clay with enthusiasm, but he at once in- terrupted them, and began plying them with questions as to where their camp was situated and what roads led from it to the Palms, "Bring your men at once to this end of our railroad" said. "It is still early, and revolt tionists will sleep late. They are drugged with liquor and worn out with excitement and whatever may have been their intentions toward' you :Last night, they will be late in putting them in- to practice this morning.

Otherwise I shall 'act independently of you and go into the city alone with my work hien," ',That is unnecessary," said one of the lieutenants. "We have no of- ficers. If you do net command us, there is no one else to do it. We promise that our men will follow you and give you every obedience. They have been led by foreigners before, by young Captain Stuart and Major Ferguson and Colonel Shrevington. They know how highly General Ro- jas thinks of you, and they know that you .have led Continental armies in Europe." "Well, don't tell them I haven't un- til this is over," said Clay. "Now, ride ,hard, gentlemen, and bri'ilg your men here as quickly as passible." The lieutenants thanked hum ef- fusively and galloped away, radiant at the success of their mission, and Clay entered the office where Mac- Williams wag telegraphing his orders to Kirkland. He seated mtmseif be- side the instrument, and from time to time answered the questions Kirk- land sent back to him over the wire, and in the .intervals of silence thought of Hope. It was the first ,time he had :gone into aotion feeling•the touch of a woman's hand upon his sleeve, and he was fearful lest she -might think the hadconsidered .her too light- ly He took a piece of ipaper from the table and wrote a few lines upon it, and then rewrote them several times.

Clay went back into this room and kissed the page of paper gently, flushing like a boy as he did so, and then folding it carefully, he put it •away beneath his jacket. He glaneed about him guiltily, although he was quite alone, , and taking .out his watch, pried it open and looked clown into the face of the photogrvph that had smiled up at ;himl from .it for so many years. He thuught haw unlike it was to Alice Langharn as he knew her. He judged that it must have 'been taken when she was very young, et the age Hope wasthen. ,fare • le little world she t b t1 t in had crippled - andn rrowed lived c f ed a .P her and marked her for its own.

He wondered if she had ever existed. "It looks atrore like Hope than her sister," he unused. "It Looks -very much like Hope." He decided' that he world lot it remain where it was until Hope gave him a ;better one; and smiling slightly he snapped the lid fast, as though he were closing a door on the face of Alice Langbam in forever. and lock[ it f e g Kirkland was in the cab of the lo- comotive thatt brought the soldiers from the mine. He stopped the ffirat ear in frost of the freight station until the workmen had filed out and formed into a double line on the plat- form. Then he ,moved the train for- ward the length of that car, and those in the one fallowing were mus- tered out in a similar manner. As the cars continued to come in, the f the double line men at the :head a passed on through the freight sta- tion and on up the road to the 'city in an unbroken column. There was no confusion, no crowding, and no :haste. When the last car had been emptied Clay rode down the line and •appoint- ed a foreman to take charge of each company, stationing his engineers and the Irish -Americans in the van. It looked snore like a mob than a regi- ment. None of the men were in uni- form•, and the native soldiers were barefoot. But they showed a win- ning spirit. ani stood in as orderly an 'array as though they were drawn up in line to receive their month's wages. The Americans in front of the column were humorously dispos- ed, and inclined to consider the whole affair as a pleasant outing. They had been placed in front, not because every South American thinks that every citizen of the United States is a muster either of the rifle or' the revolver, and Clay was countissg on this superstition. His assistant en- gineers and foremen hailed hint as he rode on up and down the line with good-natured cheers, and ask him. when they were to get their commis- sions, and if it were true that they were all captains, or only,colonels, as they were at home. They had been waiting for a half- hour, when there was the sou.n'd of horses' hoofs on .the road, and the even beat of men's feet, and the ad- vance guard of the Third and Reath regiments came toward them at a •quickstep. The ;men were still in the full-dress unifernts they had worn at the review the day before, and in comparison with the soldier-wrorkmen -and the Americans in flannel shirts; they presented so inertial a showing that they were welcomed with tumul- tuous cheers. Clay threw them into a double line en one side of the road, down the length of whieh his own marched until they ,had reached the end of it nearest to the city, when they book up their position in a close formation, and the native regiments fell in behind them, •Clay selected twenty of the beat shots from among the engineers .and sent them on ahead se a skirmish line. They were order- ed to fall back at once if they saw any sign of the enemy. In this order the column of four thousand men started for the city. It was a little after •seven when they advanced and the air was mild and peaceful. Men and women came crowding to the doors end windows of the huts as they ipassed, and stood watching tthesn in silence, not know- ing to which party the small army might belong. In order to enlighten them, Clay shouted, "Viva Rojas." And 'his men took. it up, and the peo- ple answered gladly. They h•sd reached the closely' built portion of the city when the skirmish line came running back to say .that it had been met by a detachment of Mendozna's cavalry, who had galloped away as soon as they saw them. There was 'then no longer any doubt that the foot of their coming was known at the Palace, and Clay halted him men in a .bare plaza and divided them into three columns.

They were, there with arms 'in their bands, he eaid, far two rea- sons: the greater Dole, and the one which he knew •actuated the native soldiers, was their desire to preserve the Cu.hstitutkon of the Republic. Ac- cording, to their own laws, the Vice- Presifleut must 'snoceed when the 1'res'rtlent'a term o£ office had expir- ed, or in ,the evemt df his dunih.

If he remained in power all foreigners would be driven out of the coursbry,• astd the soldiers would be forced to work in the mines without payment. Their condition would be little better than that of the slaves in the salt mines of Siberia. Not only would they no longer be paid for their labor, but the people' as a whole would cease to receive �tha't share of the earnings of the alines which -had hitherto been theirs. "Under President Rojas you will have liberty, justice, and prosperity," Clay cried. "Under Mendoza you will be ruled by martial law. He will rob and overtax you, and you will live through -a reign of terror. Between them—'which will you choose?" The native soldiers answered by cries of "Rojas," and breaking ranks rushed actoss the plaza toward him. crowding around his (horse and shout- ing, "Long live Rojas;' "Long live "Reath •to Men- the Constitution," ' Dia Men- dota." The Americans stood as they were and gave three cheers for the Government. They were still cheering and shout- ing as they advanced upon the Palace and the noise of their coming drove the people indoors, so that they march- ed through deserted streets and be- tween closed doors ;tad sightless win- dows. No one oppos,.d them, and no one encouraged them. But they could now see the facade of the Palace and the flag of the Revolutionists hanging from the roast in front of it. Three blocks distant from the Pal- ace they came upon the buildings of the United States and English Lega- tions, Where the flags of the two countries had been hong out over the n'arroo$ thoroughfare. The windows and the roofs of each legation were crowded with women land (children who !had sought refuge there, and the column 'halted as • Weimer, the Consul,, and Sir Julian P.indar, the English, Minister, came out, hare -headed, into the street and beckoned to Clay to stop. - I ' As -our Minis -ter was not here," Weimer said, "I telegraphed to Truxil- I to for the man-of-war there. She started some time :ago, and we have' just heard that she is entering the; lower harbor. She should have her blue -jackets on shore in twenty man-' utes, Sir Julian end I think you ought to wait for them." The English Minister put a detain- ing hand on Clay's bridle. "If you attack Mendoza at the Palace with this mob," he remonstrated, "rioting and iawiesaness generally will break .out all- over the city. I ask you to keep them back until we get your sailors to police the streets and pro- tect property." Clay glanced over his shoulder at the engineers and the Irish workmen standing in solemn array behind him. "Oh, you can hardly call this a mob," he said. "They look a little rough and ready, but I will answer for them. The two other columns that are coming asp the streets parallel to this are Government troops land pro- perly engaged in driving a usurper out of the 'Government building. The best thing you can do is to get down to the wharf ,and send the marines and blue -jackets where you think they will do the most god. I can't wait for them. And they can't come too soon" The grounds of the Palace occupied two entire 'blocks; the Botanical Gar- dens were in the rear, and 9n front a series of low terraces rim down from its veranda he the high iron fence which separated the grounds from the chief :thoroughfare of the city. Clay sent word to the left and right wing of his little army to make t9 M 1i41 r: - de Wulx�t Bots a kale. ztelliz';ar in wherelie watt ay soul ;; clew[ the barb' of We iron 4n+ea jrunt of the group -i.

The two supporting columns had already started on their roundabout way to the rear of the Palace. gay gathered up his reins, •and\\telling his Men to keep close to the wh.11s, start- ed forward, his soldiers following on the sidewalks and leaving the middle of the street clear. As they reaobed a point a hundred yards below the Palace, a part of the wooden shibld behind the fence was thrown dawn, there was a puff of white smoke and a re ort and nn na P a ca o bel•! struck the roof of a house which they were passing and sent the tiles clattering about their heads. But the men in the lead had already reached the stage -door of the theatre and were opposite one of the doors to the club. They drove these in with the butts of their rifles, and raceeeup the stairs of each of the deserted buildings un- til they reached the •roof. Langham was swept by a weight of men across a stage, and jumped among the music racks in the orchestra. He caught a glimpse of the early morning sun shining on the tawdry hangings of the boxes and the exaggerated per- spective of the scenery. He ran through corridors between two great statues of Comedyand ed and Tragedy, up a marble staircase to a lobby in which he saw the white faces about him multiplied in long mirrors, and so out to an iron balcony from which' he looked down, panting and breath- less, upon the Palace Gardens, swarming with soldiers and white with smoke. Men poured through the windows of the clulb opposite,. dragging sofas and chairs out to the balcony and upon the flat roof. The men near him were tearing down .the yellow silk curtains in the lobby and draping them along the railing of the balcony to better conceal their movements from the enemy below. Bullets spattered the stucco about their heads, and panes of glass broke suddenly and fell in -glittering part- icles upon their shoulders. The fir- ing had already begun from the -roofs near them. Beyond the ch b 'and the theatre and far along the street on each side of the Palace the •merchants were slamming the iron shutters of their shops, and men and women were running for refuge up the high steps of the church of Santa Maria. Others were gathered in black masses on the balconies and roofs of the more dis- tant houses, where they stood outlin- ed against the sett blue sky in gigan- tic silhouette. Their shouts of en- couragement and anger carried clear- ly in -the morning air, and spurred on the gladiators below to greater effort. In the Palace Gardens a line of Men- doza's men fought from behind the first barricade, while others dragged tables and bedding and chairs across the green terraces and tumbled them down to those below, who seized them and formed them into a second line of defence.. Two of the assistant engineers were kneeling at Langgham's feet with the barrel's of their rifles resting .pn the •railing of bhe balcony.
