Who will volunteer to go over the mountains with him ?” Brandishing their swords and shout- ing with loud acclaim, the great body of troopers pressed forward to the service. Alvarado, who knew them all, rapidly selected the requisite num- ber, and they fell in advance of the others. Over them the young captain placed his friend De Tohar as his sec- ond in command. “’Tis bravely done!” cried the vice- roy. “Now prick forward to the city. all.

T was nearing 11 o'clock in the morning when, after a hurried conference in the patio with the Viceroy and the others, Al- varado and De Tobar marched out with their fifty men.

Fortunate- ly they were not required to ascend such a path as that Alvarado had trav- ersed on the other slde, for there were not fifty men in all Venezuela who could have performed that tremendous feat of mounteering. The way to the summit of the range and thence to the pass was difficult, but not impossible. and they succeeded after an hour or two of hard climbing in reaching their appointed station, where they conceal- ed themselves in the woods unobserv- ed by Teach’s men.
