Believing he was acting for the best, the Major had taken his troops across the border. Later he had received in- structions from Washington to delay the invasion pending negotiations. He had disobeyed the orders because he believed the debt that Pedro made the night of the Discovery outrage should be paid in full, and the Biajor wanted to assist in collecting that debt. These men, whose bodies were now scattered before him, some of them torn and shattered and many disfig- ured beyond recognition, had believed it their duty to demand r payrnent from Lopes and his bel; and, when he had asked his company how many of them stood ready to follow him, every one of his men bad stepped up. True, they were young men, many of them, and they doubtless had wives, tnothers, sisters and sweethearts at home waiting for their return. Per- haps the world did have need for thetn .n the handling of Its affairs, nut their country had needed Ahem, too, and, true Americans. all of them, they had unflinchingly gone forward to avenge the wrongs that had been done to American men, women and chil- dren on the border. Instead, they had given their lives. But, out there in Diablo Pass, in the stillness of the night, surrounded by the dead, the Ma- jor made a solemn vow that the death of et , ery one of his troopers would he avenged. Lopez would pay for tills day's work, with his miserable life, and, unless the inevitable hand of fate prevented him, the Major world collect the debt and see to It that he was paid In full. These thoughta and the dishearten- ing spectacle before him, together with his wounds and long pgried pf _fasting, MiiidTof - the brave man. He managed to pull him- self Out of the pit dug for him by his men and staggered to one of the bod- ies. He stooped and taking the can- teen from the poor fellow, quenched his thirst. It refreshed him. But it did not ease his puzzled and tired brain. His wound pained him, and he was conscious of a peculiar feeling in his head. Strange objects seemed to appear before his gaze. They came quickly and departed as suddenly. Mys- terious visions seemed to haunt him, as he stood there helplasit and_ alone. It must be a sickness. Perhaps it was the fever. He had seen thousands of soldiers afflicted with this dreadful dis- ease; he had seen hundreds die with it. Just then, he would have wel- comed anything that would have re- lieved him from his pain. For some time he stood there won- dering In which direction to go. He 'knew the canyon'; for had he not led hiS troops to this very spot? But, his memory slowly failed him, and, though he racked his poor fevered brain he was at a loss to know which way to turn. Finally, dazed and delirious, he wandered aimlessly into the desert. * • • • • • • The poor slave Pedro, who had been dragged to the torture chamber by the Mexicans, had been tortured al. most to the point of death. One of the guards pressed a button, which re- leased one of the huge blocks in the wall. They picked up his body and threw it through the aperture. It struck a large opening, and then slid down between the walls into a pool in an underground chamber. It was the room where Liberty was being held prisoner, and, just as Pedro's body struck the water, she vras about to scoop up some of the water to quench her terrible thirst As the dark object struck the wa- ter she drew hick in terror. Then, as it rose to the surface, she was startled as she recognized the slave. He was too injured to try to save himself, and Liberty rushed to his aid and dragged him out of the pool, and as- sisted him to his feet. But, the next instant he fell in a heap on the ground. During this time, Rutledge and his comrades were out in the desert. searching for some signs of Winston's troops. The insurrectos had been completely fooled by the rangers, and it was some time afte.r Bob and his companions escaped before they real- ized the futility of their fire. At first the Mexicans believed they had wiped out the remainder of Rutledge's men, for their shots were not returned from the mission. Finally one of their number was sent out to investigate. He approached the ruins under cover of the Mexican volley, and, BA he neared the spot he dropped on MA hands and knees and crawled cautious- ly up. Slowly he raised his head above the ruined walls. It was a des- perate move, and he was taking a big chance of having his head blown to pieces. But, as he peered over the top all was silent within, for. nil that he saw was the Isodies of the dead rangers, and Rutledge was not among them. He hastily returned to his compan- ions and informed them of the way in which they had been baffled by the Americans. They were enrageji and the order WAS given immediately to start in pursuit. After searching for s'everal hours for Bob and his men the insurrectos gave it up and returned to join Lopez and his band.
