A profound bow. ard then y sileuo-
Then the ggas were re- losded ard fred:
and still bis exceilency did no. appear.

so Il will continue To 20 on for years,
eer.uries-long after you aud have
gone the great, great journey"
The secretary stopped. wiped bis eyes.
and waited for NJ. to answer. Bu. NJ.
meant business rather than sentiment;
and he ss. silent. still waiting for the
great minister
A. last the secretary looked up at the
clock. as it pointed towards ,nid day:
then he lazily arose. shuffied forward
once. pulled at bell till he palled a
small boy in lace and buttons into his
presence. handed card to the small
boy in lace aud buttons, and then sat
down.
The minister entered with a cigarette
in full srnoke. He was small, fat
man, aud moved slowly and with
great deal of assumed Importance He
putfed away like a little steam boat
against hard stream. and fairly blew
sparks from his smoke stack as he pull
ed and puited at his cigarette.
Yes. Signor NJ. shall have letters TO
my friend the commsndant at BARGE
Iona. He is my very dear friend, and
will do all he can for you. Mr.. Secre-
tary you will draw up letters TO that
effect"
The minister filled chair. after first
examining its legs. and back. and arms.
He shut his eys. rested, reflected, rolled
q cigarette. looked up TO the ceiling, and
went on
. But YOU see. gentlemen. you can
rot get into Barcelona now. Besides, I
you must be prepare "a not 70 find my
friend IA. e1f1tnussf Tho tys,.l -. h.

moves is leaders every few days. +
They waat new blood. you see. No, /
you cannot get into Barcelona now.
You had better 90 TO Madrid at once.
have sent great many gentlemen to
NJ Madrid."
And what can we do at Madrid.is", I, I" as
he others do. As fast as the officers
ire killed off, vacancies occur. You sit
iown there; you wait your turn. If
he war keeps ON, in a few years at fur
hest you will find yourselves at the
head of your regiments"
I'VE prefer to 90 10 Barcelona. When
'an we have our letters y
oh, in "A few days at furthest; and if
you are in great haste Ia depart. my
secretary can have them placed in your /
hands within the week"
We bowed before this little man
this decrepit representative of decrepit /
in the decrepit chair-and +
shaking the hand of the secretary, we /
went out. perfectly certain that we had !
no business In Spain.
