The general, after a secret conversation with his man of busi ness, ordered me to carry a letter to the Convent of the Bernardines.” "T o the convent?” Don Martial ex claimed. “ Silence,” said Valentine. “ Do you know the contents of this letter?” “ Dona Anita gave it me to read. The general informs the abbess that he is resolved to finish the m atter; that wheth er his ward be mad or not, he means to marry her, and that at sunrise on the day after to-morrow, a priest sent by him will present himself at the convent to arrange the ceremony.” "W hat is to be done?” the Tigrero ex claimed sadly. "Silence,” Valentine repeated. "Is that all, Carnero?” “ N o ; the general adds that he requests the abbess to prepare the young lady for this union, and that he will himself call at the convent to morrow, in order to explain more fully his inexorable wishes.” "V ery good, my friend, I thank you for this precious information ; it is of the utmost importance that the general should be prevented from going to the convent before three o'clock.” “ Do not be uneasy, my dear Valentine; the general shall not go to the convent before the hour you indicate." " I count on your promise, my friend ; and now good-by.” He offered him his hand, which the capntnz pressed forcibly. “ My friends,” Valentine then said, “ we have now arrived nt the moment for the final struggle which we have so long been preparing. We must not let our selves be led away by hatred, but act like judges, not as men who are avenging themselves. Blood demands blood, it is true, according to the law of the desert, but remember, however culpable the man whom we have condemned may be, his death would be an indelible spot, a brand of Infamy which would sully our honor.” "B ut this monster," the Tigrero ex claimed, "is beyond the pale of human Ity.” “ He may re-enter It to repent.” "A re we priests then, to practice for getfulness of Insults?” Don Martial ask ed with a fiendish grin. "No, my friend; there are men in the grand and sublime acceptance of the term ; men who have often been faulty themselves, and who, rendered better by the life of struggling they have led, and the grief which has frequently bowed them beneath Its iron yoke, inflict a chastisement, but despise vengeance, which they leave to weak and pusillani mous minds. Who of you, my friends, would dare to say that he has suffered more than I? T o him alone will I con cede the right of imposing his will on me, and what he bids me do I will do.” "F orgive me, my friend,” the Tigrero answered, “ you are ever good, ever great. Heaven, in Imposing on you a heavy task, endowed you at the same time with an energetic soul, and a heart which seems to expand in your bosom under the blast of adversity, instead of withering.” "Through my own sufferings, I can understand what yours are. I, too, often feel my heart bound with wrath and in dignation ; for, believe me, my friend, I have a constant struggle to wage against myself, not to let myself he led away to make a vengeance o f what must only be a punishment. But enough on this head ; time presses, and we must arrange our plans so as not to be foiled by our enemies. I went to-day to the Palace, where I had a secret conversation with the President of the Republic, whom, as you are aware, I have known for many years, and who honors me with a friend ship of which I am far from believing myself worthy. A t the end of our Inter view he handed me a paper, a species of blank signature, by the aid of which I can do what I think advisable for the success of our plans.’ "D id you obtain such a paper?” " I have it In my pocket. Now, listen to me. You will go at sunrise to-morrow to the house of Don Antonio R a lller: he will be Informed of your coming, and you will follow his instructions.” "And you?” "D o not be anxious about my move ments, good friend, and only think of your own business, for, I repeat, the de cisive moment is approaching. The day after to-morrow begins the feast of the anniversary of Mexican independence; that is to say, on that day we shall do battle with our enemy, and meet him face to face; and the combat will be a rude one, for this man has a will of Iron, and a terrible energy. W e shall be able to conquer him, but not to subdue him, and if we do not take care he will •lip through our hands like a serpent; hence our personal affairs must be fin ished to-morrow. Though apparently ab sent, I shall be really near you, that is to say. I will help you with all my pow er. I trust that you have beard and understood me, my friend?" "Yea, Don Valentine.” “ And you will act as I recommend?” " I promise It.” "Reflect that you are perhaps risking the lows of your future happiness." “ I will not forget your recommenda tion, I swear to y o n ; I am risking too great a stake in this game, which must decide my future life, to let myself be Induced to commit any act of violence.” “ O ood; I am happy to hear you speak thus; but havs confidence, my friend, I feel certain that we shall succeed.” “ May heaven hear you 1” “ It always hears those who appeal to It with a pure heart and a lively faith. Hope, I tell you ; and now, my dear Don Martial, permit me to say a few woras to our worthy friend, Belhumeur.” " I will withdraw.” ) “ What for? have I any secrets from you? You can hear what I am going to say to him.” "You have nothing to say to me. Val- *ntine,” tlie hunter said, with a shake of his head, “ nothing hut what I know nl- read.v; I have no other interest in what is about to take place beyond the deep friendship that attached me to the count and now to you. You think that the recollection I have preserved of our un happy friend cannot be sufficiently en graven on my heart for me to risk my life at your side iu as-nging him; but you are mistaken, Valentine, that’s all. I will not abandon you in the hour of combat; 1 will remain at your side even should you order me to leave you, I tell you that I swear, aud have taken an ■wtth to that effect, to make a shield of ray body to protect you, if it should be necessary. Now. give me your hand, aud suppose we say no more about it?” Valentine remained silent for a im>; rnent; a scalding tear ran down his bronzed cheek, and he took the hand of the honest, simple-minded Canadian, and merely uttered the words; “ Thank you, I accept.” They then rose nnd returned to their carriage, after Valentine had warned his faithful bodyguard, Curumllla, by a sig nal that he could leave his hiding place, as the interview was over. A quarter of an hour later the three gentlemen reach ed the house in the Calle dc Tacuba, where Curumllla was already awaiting them. C H A P T E R X X II . On the morrow Mexico awoke to a holiday ; nothing extraordinary. In a coun try where the year is a perpetual holi day. This time the affair was serious, for the inhabitants wished to celebrate in a proper manner the anniversary of the Proclamation of Independence, of which the day to which we allude was the eve. A t sunrise a formidable bando issued from the government palace, and went through all the streets and squares of the city, announcing with a mighty clam our o f bugles and drums, that on the next day there would be a bull fight with “ Jamaica” and "Monte Parnasso” for the leperos, high mass celebrated in all the churches, theaters thrown open gratis, a review of the garrison, and of all the troops quartered sixty miles round, and fireworks and illuminations at night, with open-air balls and feria. Don Martial, In order to throw out the spies doubtless posted round Valen tine's house, had left his friend in the middle of the night, and gone to his lodg ings. nnd a few minutes before day pro ceeded to the house of M. Ralller. “ You are welcome,” the Frenchman said cordially, on perceiving Don Mar tial ; “ I was busy with our affair. My brother Edward Is just off to our quin ta. whither my mother and my brother Auguste proceeded two days ago, so that we might find all in order ou our ar rival.” Although the Tigrero did not entirely understand what the banker said to him. he considered it unnecessary to show it, and hence bowed without answering. “ A ll is settled, then,” M. Ralier con tinued, addressing his brother; “ get everything ready, for we shall probably arrive before mid-day— that is to say, in time for lunch.” "Your country house is not far from the city?” the Tigrero asked, for the sake of saying something. “ Hardly five m iles; It is at St. A n gel; but in an excellent position for defense, in event of attack. Y'ou are aware that St. Angel Is built on the side of an ex tinct volcano, and surrounded by lava and spongy scoria, which renders an ap proach very difficult.” “ I must confess my ignorance of the fact.” “ In a country like this, where the government is bound to think of its own defense before troubling itself about in dividuals, it is well to take one's pre caution, and be always perfectly on guard. And now be off, my dear Edward, your weapons are ail right, and two res olute peons will accompany you ; besides the sun is now rising, and you will have a pleasant rid e ; so good-by till we meet again.” During this conversation the peons had put the horses in a close carriage. • “ Get in.” said M. Ralller. “ W h a t!” Don Martial replied, “ are we going to drive?” “ Do you think I would venture to go to the convent on horseback?” "B ut this carriage will betray you.” “ I admit i t ; but no one will know whom it contains when the shutters are drawn up, which I shall be careful to do before leaving the house. Come, get in.” The Tigrero placed himself by the Frenchman’s side; the latter pulled up the shutters, and started at a gallop in a direction diametrically opposed to that which it should have followed, in order to reach the convent. "W here are we going?" the Tigrero asked presently. "T o the Convent of the Bernardines.” " I fancy we are not going the right road.” •That Is possible, but, at any rate. It is the safest.” ” 1 humbly confess that I cannot under stand it at all.” M. Ralller began laughing. "M.v good fellow,” he replied, “ you will understand at the right time, so be easy. You need only know that in acting as I am now doing I am carrying out to the letter the Instruct Iona of Valentine, my friend and youra.” " I have no repugnant to obey yon, Senor Don Antonio,” the Tigrero an swered. "The confidence our common friend place* in you is a sure guarantee to me of your intentiona. Hence dispose of me as you think proper, without fear ing the slightest objection on my part.” "That is ths way to talk.” the banker said, with a laugh. "N ow , to begin, my dear senor, you will do me the pleasure CO LLEG E BROADENS W O R K . ■ I ished by the reclamation service and by the forest reserve policy of the govern- merit, w h ich is elim in atin g touch oi the range from pubiio nee. J. C. Lloyd, an extensive sheep grower of this county, estimates that not more than 25,000 iambs w ill be shipped to Eastern markets this year from the country between Elleneburg and Pasco, whtreas five years ago over 200,000 tiead were shipped y ea rly. Th is is partly due, however, he says, to the fact that more lambs are now shipped to the coast than a few years ago, a l though the total shipm ents there this year he thinks, w ill not exceed 50,000, “ The range is being so d im in ished.’ ’ said Mr. Lloyd, “ that none but those who own their land can afford to taise sheep in any quantities. Much o f the form er range is being converted into good fanning land through irrigation, an i the forest reserve policy o f the government is shutting the sheep raiser out o f a large part of the range. I should say that the elim ination of tills land by the government has cut down the number of sheep on that land by as much as 25 per cent. “ The sheep in this section are being raised as much for mutton now as for w ool, and there is a greater demand for good mutton than there used to bs. The price, too, has advanced, which makes it a profitable business to pur sue.’ ’ | j , t0 “ C han V 'eu " ed f e lr r : ' the Tigrero ex- Addi“ °"* ' '^ c u l t u r a l S p . C . l l t l . .
