CHAPTER II— Continued
His comrade puffs a little at bis ci-
gar as It to give shape to his thoughts
“I saw you with the adorable Dora
aud knew you could not well remem-
ber lhat such a chap as Dick Denver
was In the universe so I concluded I
might as well make my way homo
The hour was late and without think-
ing of the danger I ran 1 look a short
cut through some narrow strecta but
poorly lighted
Tni no yarn-spinner my boy so you
must excuse me If I get at the busi-
ness In double-quick order I heard a
call for help In a woman's voice — I
tan forward and just around a corner
sa'r a cab which had come to a step
Several rough and ragged fellows 1?
blouses were gathered around one
held the horse another looked after
the driver whom I believed to be in
collusion with the daring footpads
else ho would never have driven a lady
through these dangerous streets at
this late hour
"Well there were four or five of
them but that was pie to me' you
know— such fellows are cowards the
world over whether you meet them in
the Mexican mines on the burning
sand of Egypt or In the Indian jungle
I was bent on having a little excite-
ment and here was the chance
"I bad taken about Ive or six paces
and half-covered tho ground when 1
heard tte tharp report of a small pis-
tol By Jove! tho olucky woman ln
the cb had opened fre on the rascals!
I caw them fall back in a panic then
spring upon the vehicle like mad
wolves
"Just then I let out a shout and
reached the scene of action 1 never
felt better In my life Bob old boy
than when I sailed Into those dogs
and I only wished you were there to
enjoy it Never mind how I did It--you’ve
seen me In action more than
once the cowards tumbled over each
other In their efforts to ecnpo and I
presently found myself shaking the
driver until bis teeth rattled and bow-
ing to a duseil handsome g'-l"
“Ten to one I can name her— It as
Miss Paulino"
“Ton to one you have hit It— yes It
was Mis Pauline of New York”
“Well — proceed !'m Interested"
“So was I When I saw her face I
recognized Miss Westerly although It
was some years ego whoa I saw her
at the mines with br father She
old not know me of course from Ad
am and began to think me it French
but when 1 spoke In good Fnglh she
looked closer and higgid m? pardon
for mistaking me for a Parisian
“Of course I escorted her to the luv
til She explained that she had bun
drawn abroad by a note that proved to
be forged— a rote that s'ated t lie on
the far of it she (lew as fat as a
esh could take her to the b :-j 1 1 a 1
named In the note’ to see her poor
Dora reported run over In the sfre-'t
by an omnibus mid likely to die — the
same Dora v ho at the same hour was
enjoying a waltz with the Mexican hi-
dalgo at the Jnnliti Bulller Sim roeld
fird no traee of the girl at ‘he Mai-on
la Clarlte and the officials grave- n-
formed lir It must he a mistake re
else a crue hoax had been played for
some purpose util now n
‘Tutting two and two together Miss
Pauline and mysetf ns we rode to-
gether to her hotel decided that this
whole business was a running plot I
Imagine bhehaa a pretty fair Idea as
to what it all means but to me It Is a
puzzle What you have said opens a
loop-hole — perhaps tho Senor Iopox
bad something to do with the business
These Mexicans and Spaniards are
great for schemes although I can’t
concelvo what he wanted seeing that
tho coveted paper was already In bis
possession"
The sheriff of Ferora county Is deep-
ly Interested In the matter but he can-
not advanco any plausible explanation
of the strange occurrence They talk
H over a little while and then prepare
to retire for the night which Colonel
Bob laughingly declares may bo bis
last on earth If tho wrathy little pro-
feasor has him out In the Bols de Bo-
logne on the following day for "satis-faction"

Nevertheless he sleeps well
hardly to much as turns over up to the
time He rosy beams of the morning
sun glance from the roof of the great
Notro Dame and enter their chamber
The colonel from New Mexico is Just
In tho act of securing bis necktie in
tho flowing negligee style that so be-
comes his free and easy nature when
a rap sounds on the door
"Ah! as I expected — the challenge"
be laughs still arranging his tie before
the glass and speaking as though It
were a note from his tailor
Dick unlocks the door an Immedi-
ately turns with a letter lu Ms baud
“ ‘For Colonel Robert Harlan Impor-
tant Ah! here we have It— coffee for
one pistols for two!” he cries
“Kindly open It my boy — this beast-
ly cravat Is trying to act like a prairie
broncho" say the nonchalant sheriff
as though a polite Invitation to a little
pistol practlco at ten paces were an
every-day occurrence in Lis life
"Listen" says Dick "here Is the bel-
ligerent Briton’s fiery summons:
"‘After the Insult of last evening
nothing remains for John Fitzsimmons
but to challenge Colonel Robert Har-
lan to meet him on the field of honor
the sooner the better The bearer of
tbls will set as my second and all ar-
rangements made with him shall be
faithfully carried out by
“Yours to command
" ‘JOHN FITZSIMMONS "
Colonel Bob does not laugh now
“Bless me there’s grit In that little
man anyway May I be roasted It I
unnecessarily harm the little bull dog"
“Hold on— there’s a line at the bot-
tom — wait until 1 read it"
"Fire sway"
"‘The stake Is to be the adorable
Dora"
At this the sheriff winces and then
grins
‘‘Of course that’s a settled thing
To the victor belongs the spoils I’m
going to have some fun out of this
business see If I don’t and It I can In
duce Dora to be an unseen witness of
the terrible duel so much the better
Where U the second he spoke of?"
Dick steps to the door and opens It
“Are you the professor's representa-
tive?’ ho asks
"I have the honor— Captain Arthur
Tyndall of Her Majesty's Dragoons
and w illing to accommodatb a friend
while on a leave of absence” returns
a voice from without
"Step In captain” and an elongated
figure enters that must present a start-
ling contrast when seen In company
with the dumpy professor
“My friend and principal Colonel
Harlan’
Tho soldier bows and gives one
keen look at the face of the New Mex-
ican sheriff
"A bad lookout for my fiery little
friend” he declares reading Dob's
character at once "I bog of you gen-
tlemen not to be too hard on him
lie's a quter genius I've found but I
Imagine knows about as much of firw
arms as lie h s of women aud that is
precious little"
Colonel Dob scribbles on tho note
"There" he says ”n:oet us jm-t be-
fore duk In that retired part of the
great ratk under the trees 1 shall
supply the weapons"
"What will they be?”
“Never mini as the challenged par-
ty I claim the privilege of selection
And captain?”
"Sir?”
"You might brlrg a surgeon along"
"Good heavens! Then you mean to
butcher him”
Capta!n a bag or large basket also
for gathering up the remains” pursues
the Imrerturhnble Bob
"You Joke sir"
“Never more serious In my life ft's

morning captain”
CHAPTER III
A Daughter of the Montezumas
Mies Paullro Westerly of New York
has Just returned from a shopping tour
to the Bon Marche and other temples
of fashion She has dismissed her car-
riage Rt the door of tho Grand Conti-
nental and assuming a liaudauiue t
gown reclines In the depths of an easy
chair in her private parlor engaged
with a novel and package of bon bon s
at the same time girl fashion when a
knock sounds on the door
This reminds her that Dora Is out
so half rising she calls:
“Entrcz!”
The door opens and to her surprise
a lady comes In— a lady whose gar-
ments are worn with the grace of one
to the manner born whose figure
though below that of the queenly
American girl Is wonderfully symmet-
rical Miss Westerly jumps to her
feet
Pardon" she exclaims blushing “I
thought It was a servant I would have
opened the door in person had I
hought ”
“No apology Is needed Miss Wester-
ly” replies the other In a rich music-
al volco that Instantly takes Pauline
back to the land of the Montezumas
And now the American girl has a
good view of her visitor’s face a re-
markably beautiful Spanish face
Pauline admits that she has never met
a girl more handsome — they form a de-
cided contrast these two the New
York blonde and the Mexican bru-
nette "I have met you somewhere years
ago— my memory must be defective—
I cannot quite recollect where It was—
probably In Mexico” says Miss West-
erly with a puzzled look
"I am Juanita Lopez" replies the
other
At this the blonde beauty from Goth-
am gives a start and looks her sur-
prise “The daughter of Senor Manuel Lo-
pez my most bitter opponent In the
management of the El Dorado Yes I
remember now we were both young
girls when with our fathers we met at
the mine Is this a visit of a social
nature or one of business may I ask
Senorlta Lopez?’
The girl from Mexico who can trace
her lineage on her mother's side back
to the Montezumas fixes her great
eyes upon Miss Pauline’s face— there
Is something solemn about her look
that makes the object of It uneasy—
she cannot reason why since she has
inherited from her father a brave spir-
it that can face danger without being
daunted
"It Is business Miss Westerly In
the first place I desire you to under-
stand that I do not sympathize with
my father in bis schemes for obtain-
ing control of the mine I am very
well satisfied with the way In which
you have managed it Therefore I
come to you to-day first with a warn-
ing and then to ask — a favor"
She waits a minute ts If to see what
effect her words may have on Pauline
who simply nods her head and smiles
encouragingly So the Mexican senor-
lta proceeds speaking rapidly and us-
ing the very best of English:
"My father thought he bad won
when he secured that paper — pardon
Miss Westerly but you see to what
even a noble hidalgo can stoop when
he la deep In Ignoble plots hut It
seems your ehrewd maid outwitted
him at any rate he declares she must
have taken It from his Inside pocket
while they danced at the Jardln Bul-
ller last night
"You see his heart Is set upon re-
gaining possession of the El Dorado
which was once In our family before
your father bought and he will stop
at nothing— you hear me senorlta
nothing— In order to further his de-
signs Since he cannot secure the pa-
per he hopes to find Senor Danvers
and failing In that he will make such
an Individual to order so as to regain
the mine”
"Would he dare do that senorlta— to
forgo a man as It were and palm him
upon the lawyers as the original? But
he has no ordinary woman to deal
with Miss Lopez I mean that difficul-
ties do not daunt me 1 am ready to
meet your father and demonstrate the
fact that American girls know bow to
take care of themselves — yes and
even manage silver mines that may be
left to them by their fathers I thank
you for this warning I would recipro-
cate your kindness If It were wlthlr
my power”
(To be continued)

"Yeth ma'am” said Charlc
The caller opened her card case
