Who could help loving her, and much less a man in my position? For, in as far as was proper in a maiden, she has been kind to me since I was a boy. I cher- ish no hopes, no dreams, no ambitions. I locked my passion within my breast and determined to keep it there though it killed me.

Early as it was, the Viceroy and his encore, including, of course, De Tobar, were assembled in the patio to bid the travelers godspeed. While De Lara gave a few parting directions to Al- varado, Don Felipe took advantage of the opportunity and of his position as the publicly aflianced of Donna Mer- cedes to address her a few words in farewell, which she received with list- less indiflerence. The final prepara- tions were soon over. Don Felipe lift- ed Donna Mercedes to the saddle of her Spanish jennet; some of the other gentlemen assisted the Senora Agapida to the back of the sure footed mule which she had elected as her mount; Alvarado saluted and sprang to the back of his mettlesome barb, and, fol- lowed by a half dozen troopers who constituted the escort, the rear being brought up by servants with pack mules carrying the personal baggage of the two ladies, the little czn'nh-ade moved off, the gentlemen in the vice- roy's suit standing bareheaded in the doorway as they disappeared under the trees and began the ascent toward the The worthy Senora Agaliida with womanly shrenwhmss more than sus- pected the true state of affairs. in- deed. Mercedes, who loved the old woman. who had been as a mother to her, her own mother having died when she was a mere child, had smrcely taken the trouble to conceal her mis- ery, and the old woman's heart was wrung whenever she looked at the drooping figure at her side. She would fain have brought the flush of happi- ness to the face of the girl she loved by throwing her into the arms of Al- varado, but as a distant connection of the De Laras herself the worthy dame had her own notions of pride. and her honor would not permit her to do any- thing for which the Viceroy could properly fault her. She was mad with anger and disap- pointment. She loathed him; she hated him; she raged against him in her heart. Why had he not killed De Tobar where he stood, seized her in his arms, braved the anger of her father and galloped awayâ€"anywhere out into the mysterious southland where they could be together? Well and goodâ€"she would marry Don Felipe. She would as- sume a happiness that she could not feel and kill him with the sight of it. He had disdained her; he should suffer, suffer in proportion to his love, such torments as he had made her suirer last night-shame, disappointment, in- dignation. The soldiers, servants and muleteers were in high spirits. The day was pleasant; the scenery. though familiar. was at the same time grand and beam- tiful, and they were happyâ€"all, that is, exvept Donna Mercedes, the duennu and Alvarado. When Mercedes had met Alvarado early in the morning she had acknowl- edged his profound salutation with the curtest and coldest of nods. She was furiously and bitterly angry with him, for, between duty, honor, friendship and her love, he had not chosen her. She knew that he loved her. She had known it a long time, and, if she had the slightest doubt, the sincerity with which he had spoken the night before, the fierce, passionate fervor of the kisses that he had pressed upon her lips, his utter abandonment to his pas- sion, had more than satisfied her. Yet when she had offered to throw every- thing to the windsâ€"love, duty, obedi- enceâ€"if he would only take her away, he had hesitated. With her,_a wom- an who had all Venezuela at her feet, held in his arms, he had repulsed her, refused her! He had heard the open confession of her overwhelming love for him, and he had resisted her!

She closed her eyes with the thought, and her whole being was filled with ex- quisite anguish. He loved her, he was made for her, yet when he might have taken her he refused. ‘ De Tobar was indeed a brave and gallant gentleman. but his qualities were as moonlight to the sunlight compared to. those of Al- Alvarado, Whose wmte, haggard race showed that he had passed a sleepless night, rode at the head of the column.

Search had been made for his parents, but without success. The viceroy, finding none to claim the bright faced baby, had given him a name and had caused him to be brought up in his own house- hold. There was nothing in his ap- parel to distinguish him save the ex- quisite fineness and richness of the ma- terial. Thrown around his neck had been a curiously wrought silver cruel- fix on a silver chain. and that crucifix he had worn ever sizw-e. It lay upon his breast beneath 1‘: clothing now. It was the sole object which connected him with his past. Slnce he had reach! man’s estate he had thought of th-e things often and had prayed that 11 some way, at some time, the mystery might be 3017- ed, for the suspense was worse than any assurance, however dreadful. He had often thought with longing upon his father, his mother. He despaired at last of ever finding out anything. What mattered it now? He might be of the proudest and most honorable lineage in New Spain, a Sotomayor, a Bobadilla, even a De Guzman. It would advantage him nothing since he had lost Mercedes. In spite of him- self he groaned aloud, and the girl rid- ing a little distance behind him heard the. sound of anguish in his voice. Brushing her aside with an imperious wave of her hand and a threatening glance before which the poor dueuna quailed, for her ehnrge had never shown SUeh spirit before. Mercedes struck her Spanish jennet with the whip she carried, passed around the intervening soldier, who courteously gave way to her, and reiued in her steed by Alvarado's horse. So close, indeed, was she to the captain that she almost touched him. It was good to see the light leap in his eyes, the flush come into his pale cheek, as he became aware of her presence. Her heart, which had been yearning toward him with increasing force, was stirred Within her bosom. “Ride thou here," she- said suddenly to Senora Agapida. "I go forward to speak with Captain Arvarado.” "But, senorita, thy father”- “Is it not permitted that I speak with ihe captain of the soldiery who escort me?" "Certainly, it I am by.” “I do not choose to have it 80," re- plied Mercedes, with all the bought!- uess of her father. “Remain here. I will return. presently." There was such a passionate eager- ness in her voice and such a leaping hope for an affirmative answer in the glance she bent upon him that he could scarce sustain the shock of it.
