“ Have you learned any important news
•inoe our last interview?”
"Only one thing, but I think It is of
the utmost gravity for you.”
"Speak, my friend.”
“ What I hnve to tell you Is short and
gloomy, senores. 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

“ 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

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

for good mutton than there used to bs.
