McIa-ne is proud to be classed with
Stun Buxton as an American, even as
the latter would never be ashamed to
be taken for a Canadian, since those
cousins aerosS the border have a repu-
tation for bravery excelled by none,
This loarite cry seems to arouse the
Henan bandits io action. They
rush forward ane seek to close
with those they have been ordered to
destroy. It is one thing to•plan such
aetton and another to carry it out,
for the parties most interested have to
be consulted.
Since there can no longer bo any
doubt about the intention of the fellows,
Baron Sam does not hesitate Lo open
fire. He aims to wound rather than to
kill, not because he believes such remeals
do not merit death, but simply on ac-
count of certain scrupies of his own.
Besides, it is sometimes better to wound
than to slay—dead men cannot shriek
and get in ehe. way of the living—they
cannot do aught to clemcirelize an
attack.
Nor is McLane at all backward about
following the well set example of his
comrade. He has picked out his men,
and begins to blaze away at them as
soon as possible. •
During a brief hill in the firing our
friends hear that which startles them
—they catch sounds beyond the door—
the shriek of a terrified woman, fol-
lowed by a sharp report, as of a smell
pistol.
Sam Buxton has no difficulty in guess-
ing what all this means—he remembers
that Aileen confessed .she was armed,
and would not hesitate to use her little
revolver in case of necessity. That time
seemes to have arrived—undoubtedly
while the attack was being made upon
our friends in the .great hall of the
castle, others of the bandits, perhaps
under the lead of the man Sam had
vanquished in the duel under the walls
of the Hospice St. Bernard, had crept
around and managed to gain the interior
of the sleeping chamber by means of a
window or some other entrance.
This is an emergency that calls for
immediate action, and fortunate indeed
does it happen that these comrades true
are built upon a model that is not dis-
mayed by anything.
Sam chances to be farther away from
the door than' his conipanionS'ES turns
like a flash,. intending to hurl hie whole
.weight against- the door, which, if
strong, may nevertheless give way be-
fore such an earnest attack.
He finds himself forestaled, because
it happens that Dudley Inas ideas of his
own in this direction.
. When Sam Buxton turns he sees a
towering Canadian catapult rushing at
the barrier—a mighty power under
motion, which inust crush whatever
etands in the way—a trained athlete,'
who knows how to utilize every ounce
of strength in that magnificent frame
of his, and means to beat that door
to splinters, if he cannot otherwise force
a passage through—this is the picture
the American sees as he turns and leaps
in. tha same quarter, and filled with
intense enthusiasm, he shouts, oven as
he springs forward a paeo:
"Canada to the fore! Serike it hard!
Now!"
CHAPTER. IX.
.As Baron Sam utters the last word,•
the Canadian athlete reachee the door.
With his whole strength he has raised
bie body in mid-air and made a last
tremendous leap, clearing. a couple of
Yards and landing against the barrier
with 'both' feet, a trick learned in the
Montreal gymnashan, with no idea pro-
ba.bly that it would be used under such
peculiar eireumatances as theee.
A man thus trained can exert tremen-
dous force, as he succeeds in utilizing
the immense power that lies in the hips
ahd thighs, and Sam Buxton, who has
seen his athletic comrade (hammy won-
derful things in the past, has perfect
confidence in his ability to destroy the
barrier that confronts him.
Nor is this feeling misplaced for
when Dudley alights upon the door it
is with a tremendous crash, the strew -
tura giving way before him.
Door and athlete go down in a masa
of dust and broken boards, but the Can-
adian 'athlete does not••appear to have
received serious injury, Ile is on his
feet almost immediately, and evidently
ready to follow up his first attack, and
carry the war into Africa.
Sam is at his side—these comrades
true have on more than one occasion
stood back to back and fought a bitter
foe. They Melted into the room together,
eaget to discover the eatiee of Miss Dor-
othy's scream and the sudden pistol
shot,
No light Mumbles the apartment, and
unable to see where he is going, Sam
stumbles over the body of a, man lying'
up Oil the floor—stumblea, and falls
headlong,
There M stud', a thing as providential -
interposition. Even as Stint Buxton rolls
over the eharp report of a fire-arin is
heard, and a little spiteful chunk of Mod
cuts the space so recently occupied by
his figure; had he remained erect he
must eertainly have received the beim-
fit of it.
Dudley chances to be t3to.ring in the dir.
talon whence this shot comes at the
Very moment it is fired, and he sew
something that amazes him. There
stands the trine figure of the Cali•fornia
heiress, holding out her artne-it is from
the. Weapon ehe grasps the discharge
has come. Beek of her conies another
figure, that of Mise Derothy.
Fortituately the Canadian instantly
graelps the situation, and rails out in
time to prevent the independent young
woman from firing another shot, that.
might effeetually dispose of a certain
individuel of the MeLane family.
"Are you hurt, Sam?" he demands:

thing of the same force that character-
izee his assault at the (leer. They do
not realize his intention until he is upon
them, Tben such a ecreaming and
swearing arise, during which the silent
'Canadian gets in his work, He snatellee
a cudgel front the hand of the first man
through the doorway, and immediately
tests the virtue of the weapon on the
fellow's cranium with ouch telling effect
that the number of their assailantie
hnmediately diminished by one.
This is only beginning, for the Cana-
dian starts in to beat a lively tattoo up-
on the lazaroni, who endeavor to ferce
a passage through, the door. He has
them at his mercy, for they are over-
come by sheer forcer of nuinbers, being
so crowded in the doorway that hardly
an. arm can be raised to make a vicious
thrust with a stiletto in the direction of
McLane, who has little difficulty in par-
rying these poor lunges.
Meanwhile Sam Buxton has staggered
to his feet, He has struck the floor with
a concussion that is enough to drive
the breath temporarily from his body:
, and naturally dazes him.
A hand touches his arrn, seizes him, a
hand that has more power to still resiet-
ance his part than the muscle of a
man of steel. How the touch thrills him
—a voice sounds close to his ear, a voice
that might bring him back from the
border -land of death, he believes. •
"Baron Stun—oh, tell me, did I wound
you? Heaven forgive me, I thought it
was some of the count's miserable fol.
,lowers, Speake I begl" she cries.
He does not answer, for as 'yet he
has not had quite enough time to re-
cover his wind. The perfumed breath is
now clese at his ear and a soft•hand
feels hos face gently, as if searching for
evideace of a wound,
"Why don't you speak—I am almost
frantie with this awful suspense! 'You
saved my iiie—oh, have I basely repaid
that debt by taking yours? Baron Sam,
I beg of you to answer me—are you
badly wounded?"
He clasps the hand that clutehes his
arm, and kisses the one that in the
darkness wanders across his mouth.
"Bless, you, Miss Aileen, I am not
hurt at all. I fell over something just
about the „time you fired. My lucky
star is In the ascendant still. But if you
are safe, I must go to Dudley's assist-
wilieg remark he flies te the
,tloor and throws his weight upon the
pack. This is the last straw upon the
camel's back; and the Italians, dismay-
ed by the wonderful showing made by
the two men, break and run.
Of course they will not go far, but it
is eiinough for the present to know
that the coast is clear. They can, in
a measure, plan for the future.
Grouped together in the dark chamber,
with only a stream of light flowing
through the open doorway, they con -
(ma as to the best possible thing to be
done under the circumstances.
Rapidly Aileen tells how, warned bY
Sam, she remained awake even after
Miss Dorothy had thrown herself, fully
dressed upon the bed, and was deep in
slumber—of the fear that assailed her
when the awful clamor arose in the
great hall—how she realized that some
some was entering the room by means of
a secret door, and: as a light was struck
saw the count, preceded by a huge ruf-
fian, at whom she inetanty fired,
bringing about darkness and an imme-
diate retreat on the part of Tivoli, who
hardly cared to follow his minion te the
floor.
All this she tells in et breath, AO Sam
can thalerstand the brave spirit that
caused her to fire at one she supposed
to h'e a new enezny bursting into the
apartment, after perhaps murdering
those who.slept beyond the door in the
capacity of watch -dogs; nor does he
hesitate to declare his admiration for
the unflinching courage that eustained
her up to tho moment when she be-
lieved she must have shot the man to
whom she owed so nuieh.
What shall be done?
They have repulsed the first attack
of the enemy, but it is not to be pre-
sumed that the others will stop there.
Such men, having entered a .game, go
on to the end, and the notorious Fre
Diavolo has a reputation fox' pertinacity
that has carried him through many a
trying adventure.
Escape from the castle is now their
,tleeire. The ladies are even more urgent
than their male protectors in advising
this courae, although Miss Dorothy
declares that this must be an insurrec-
tion on the pert of the "dear prince's",
subjects—she will not believe anything
against Prince Rubini, thought lirif-eon-
vinted that the count is ex rascal.
Sans Buxton, being a man of idiot,
sets to work in order to effect their
cece.pe from this den. He keope in mind
several things, and among others the
fact that when the count and his man
entered the apartment it was terough
some other door than that connecting
with the great dining -hall, and which
Dudley so effectually demolished.
He makes an especial point 4o, dis-
cover where this .eame door is eituated,
Aileen can give him a few points toward
this end—Aileen, who easy' the light and
the men coining into the chamber from
what appeared to be a narrow passage.
In a moment Sam is in that corner,
busily engaged in searching. Ile has
high hopes of success, for, eoneidering
the haste with whith Count Tivoli
made his departure, it is hardly vela
able that he took time to close the
secret door aftet bine

of delight, he realizes his good leek.
Thies is the seoret door—what lies be—
vend is of course problematical, but it
has already been desirable to mime

Sam gives the eignal that brings the
others to his side, and they eeitielude to

what is, worth much more to the little,
party of touriets--even Sam'e life.
The lamp which served them Ste well
before now gives its favors to the other
Ade. If Sam venture*.inte the hall, its
light will reveal his preeence to the Rat-
iane—they are here, there and every-
where, seine nursing their wounde, Oth-
er in groups, talking . end eagerly gee,
tiettlating, as though figurine on the
beat possible way in which they can be

such serious work among them.

mood to be trifled wale Sane is well
mere of this fact, end although under
certaht circumstances he would not Ilea/ -
tate to do this mine thing, he eees
necessity for it now,
In his hand he holds oometlaing---it is
a revolver, and two shote remain out
of the six that originally filled the
chambere.
What does he intend doing with this?
It is the laenp that is hie worst enemy
at present, and surely Sam cannot en-
cresea in a duel with an inanimate object
like that?
Nevertheless it .is toward the lamp
that he now bends his atteution. Ho
raises his arm. and tame his weapon di.
rectly at the source of the illumination,
just as though he intended to vont hie
spite upon it.
Sane Buxton a wonderful &hot, and
it is no extraordinary feat for him to
enuff out a caudle at twenty paces. He
must have darkness In order to.seirY'
out his little plans, hence his attention
in respect to tha laMp.
A steady hand elevates the revolver
to the proper line, and then comes the
report. Darkness' instafitly falls upon
the scene, and with its comes a series
of shouts from the alermed bandits.
They no doubt have conceived a discreet
respect for the rapid firing weapons of -
the foreign comrades, and when dark-
ness comes with the shot, imagine they
are about to,be assaulted in turn.
Sam does not want to explain mat-
ters, or even give them a chance to
comprehend. He has nusde a good be-
ginning, and expects to follow up the
advantage thus gained.
Passing into -the great hall, he darts
toward the spot where the little pile
of luggage lies.
On his ava.y he runs across some one;
probably an Italian endeavoring to get
out of the place. The fellow, is au
ecstasy of fear, seeks to claep his un-
seen foe, perhaps hoping to get off with
less punithment if it is taken at short
range, much as the weaker cock in a
fight will try to duck its head under its
opponent's body.
Sam, however. strilces a lucky blow
with the revolver he holds in his hand,
and, reaching the fellow's cranium, lays
him out superbly.
Nothing now remains to block his
passage—he hides the revolver in his
poeket, bends over the luggage, picks
it up with both hands, throwing a rug
or so over hie shoulder, and then turns
to once more seek. the emaller chamber
and his friends.
There a new difficulty arises—he has
been able to reach the spot where the
luggage lay, because 'he took pains to
mark it before extinguising the light
in such a summe.ry manner, but as he
therm to retrace /xis steps, he is not so
certain with regard to the line he should
pursue.
Hesitation is not Sam's failing, how-
ever, and he movee forward, taking a
course as nearly right as he can judge in,
the darkness. Sealaden is he ewith
numerous traps he has seized upon -that
more than once only his agility saves
lam from serious fall. Then he comes
in contact with the wall—the opening is
only conspicuous by ite absence, and
he moves along to the right, hoping to
discover what lie seeks.
When it faile to appear, he changes
his tactics, and turm3 the other way.
The shouts of the Italian bandits have
materialized into something more posi-
tive by this time, and a light appears
on the scene in the rear of the hall,
where a loud voice calls upon the men
to organize.
Sam gets some benefit front this il-
lumination, eim though it may be—
discovere the opening he seeks close
by, and instantly darts through it. Pre-
sently he is with his friends; at the
mouth of the secret passage,' and, a
.mateli being struck, the luggage is divid-
ed, oath assuming a share, as the small
traveling -bags have straps attached for
shoulder eervice.

"The next thing to be done,"• re-
marks Sam after the Canadian has, at
a motion from him, closed the door lead-
ing dnto the apartment previously oc-
cupied by the ladies, "is to once more
get, into condition for business."
With that he draws out a handful of
cartridges, passes mine to his. .coxn•
rade, and extracting the five empty
shells, with it tingle movement, front

has not been discharged, he fine all the

eelf-esteem and those whom self-respect

himself, his view is quite different -from
that of the man who respects himself.
Self respect is a moral trait or disposi-
tion; self-esteem is not; it hao a tinge
of selfiseneee. A pereon who maintains
a 601f -respect is seldom a selfish per-
son, but generally if leo main quality
is selaceteem.
This difference • exists among peoplee.
The wa.r epirit may be attributed to
self-esteem. That• quality is always pre-
