Why did she faint? Ah: A lively

Surely there were curious blanks In

The girl, Jlauoela, weeping out of
sympathy, crept to Iris' side and gen
tly stroked her hair. Like her mother,
she couid ouiy guess that the English
lady's friends were captured, perhaps
dead. Even her limited experience of
ilft's vi.-is-siludes had taught her what
short shrift was given to those who
defied authority. The republic of Bra
zil does not permit its criminate to be
executed, but it shows no mercy to
rebels. Manoela, of course, believed
that the Englishmen were helping the
Imprisoned Iioni Corrla to regain pow
er. She remembered how a mutiny
was once crushed on the Island, and
her eyes streamed.

Capltano," she said. "If the others are
dead or taken you may not be
missed."
He threw out bis bands in an elo
quent gesture. Life or death was a
matter of complete Indifference to him.
It Implied.
"We shall know in the morning." he
said. "Have you any cigarettes?"
"But listen, senhor. Why not take
off your uniform and dress In my
clothes? Tou can cut off your mus
taches and wear a mautilha over your
face, and we will keep you here until
there U a chance of reaching a ship.
Certainly that Is better than being
shot."
