rode, the springs of his French Tie-
torla gave up tn despair.
In disposition Don Mario was prac
tical and nnromantlc; he boasted that
ha had never had an Illusion, never an
Interest outside of his business. And
yet, on the day this etory opens, this
prosaic personage. In spite of his bu'g
lng waistband and his taut neckband.
In spite of his short breath and his
prickly heat, was In a Tery whirl of
pleasurable excitement Don Mario, In
fact, suffered the greatest of all lllu
elons: he was In love, and he believed
himself beloved. The object of his
adoration was little Rosa Vsrona. the
daughter of his one-time friend Este
ban. To be sure, he had met Rosa only
twice since her return from her Yankee
school, but twice had been enough;
with prompt decision he had resolved
to do her the honor of making her his
wife.
Notwithstanding the rivulets of per
spiration that were coursing down
every fold of his flesh, and regardless
of the fact that the body of his victoria
was tipped at a drunken angle, as if
struggling to escape the burdens of his
great weight, Don Mario felt a Jaunti
ness of body and of spirit almost like
that 'of youth. He saw himself as a
splendid prince riding toward the
humble home of some obscure maiden
whom he had graciously chosen to be
hi mate,
His arrivM threw Donna. Isabel Into
a flutter; the woman cou'd scarcely
contain her curiosity when she came to
meet him, for he was not the sort of
man to Inconvenience himself by mere
soda! visits. Their first formal greet
ings over, Don Mario surveyed the bar
living room and remarked, lugubri
ously :
"I see many changes here."
"No doubt" the widow agreed.
"Times have been hard since poor Ea
teban's death."
"What a terrible calamity that was!
I shudder when I think of It" said he.
A shocking affair, truly 1 and one I
shall never get out of my mind."
"Shocking, yea. But whst do yoa
think of a rich man. like Esteban. who
would leave his family destltntet Who
would die without revealing the place
where he had stored his treasure?"
Donna Isabel, It was plain, felt her
wrongs keenly ; she spoke with as much
spirit as if her husband had permitted
himself to be killed purely out of spite
toward her.
"As If It were not enough to lose
that treasure," the widow continued,
atormlly, "the government must free
all our slaves. Tse I Tse I And now
that there is no longer a profit in
sugar, my plantations"
"No profit in sugar? What are you

didn't come here to talk about Este

: "So?" Donna Isabel looked up
quickly,
"She interests me. She ts more beau
tiful than the stars." Don Mario rolled
his eyes toward the high celling, which,
like the sky, waa tinted a vivid ceru
lean blue.
