TWO men, with chairs tilted hack and foot llglllllxb the protecting rail of the balcony, Were smoking their evening cigarettes. Both were young and of goodly presence. Western sons and winds had tanned their checks and burned in the red of youth to a rich tropic hue. Across the brow of one—a brow whose boyish contour moved women with mother instincts to sudden longing to caress—lay loose waves of soft, yellow hair. Beneath looked out eyes of dark gray, heavy with the long thoughts of those early, desperate (lays—days when a republic worked out in blood her long probation. The other hada fairer countenance, more lightsomo and full of happy promise. Supernddod tonight to his native exuber— ance was some foreign elimont of joyous- ncsa which seemed to master spirit and muscles alike. He was full of movement. Tossing away a half finished cigarette, he clasped his hands back of his curly head and broke the silence with sudden speech. “Nod, I am too happy to smoke. I am the happiest man in all this borderland. Nellie llcrndou has promised to be my wife. We a secret yet, but I couldn't keep it from you any more than I could keep my love from her.

At 2 o'clock of the same day the prisoners were ordered out and ranged in double line against one of the walls. The ofliccr in command then read the written decree of Santa Anna, president of Mexico, a decree which pronounced for these men ufate so ingenious in its tor- ture to mind and body that it might have been conceived in the subtle brain of a Herod. Every tenth man was to be killed, the decision to be made by lottery. Into a jar were to be dropped l70 beans-453 white and 17 black. Each man was to takeout a bean. Those drawing the black ones were to be shot before the sun went down; the rest spared death, but retained as prisoners. On March 26 the roll was called. As each hand was slowly lifted and poised for one single instant above the mouth of the jar lilo and death must have met and made salute. The game was for souls, and the did was a Mexican bean.

As he returned to his place. Harvey past-rod him, and Ned saw in the white drawn face of his friend no sign of fear, but the mental anguish of Giulisemanc.
