while her husband securely held her
to the floor. She was afterwards
closely confined to the room and
guarded either by the woman or her
husband. One night she was taken
by the pair to the woods, where
Yolva's dead body was found. Yolya
was lying on the ground securely PIN
ioned and gagged. She was forced
to be an eyewitness to the flendish
hacking Of his body with knives, and
when death ensued they covered the
remains with some underbrush and
returned to the village. Upon learn
ing that the police were to investigate
the matter, the couple decided TO fee
the country.
The unfortunate woman having COM
pleted her narrative fell into deliri-
um, in which state she died few
days afterward. Daring" Rivas'
dead body was subsequently, found
on the road leading to San Jose. An
autopsy revealed the fact that death
was occasioned by a large dose Of
strychnine. Who administered the
fatal potion was never discovered,
but suspicion pointed strongly to Sem
orita Fonseca, who was his compan-
ion in fight
Foiled in his plans the detective
decided to
HUNT THE WOMAN TO DEATH.
He tracked her to various points, and
at last came upon her in the City Of
Mexico. As she left the theatre one
night in company with her escort, the
detective followed her to her house in
q fashionable quarter of the city.
The man entered the house with her,
and, after short stay, left.
The next day the officer rsng the
bell of Senorita's house, and was
ushered into that lady's apartment.
"Senorita, l have come TO arrest
you as a murderess."
Il The woman stood before the officer
like lioness at bay. Tall, slender,
eyes black and fasing, she had the
appearance more of a queen than
, hunted criminal.

beauty.
"But I must, and wilI.' said the
detective, as he advanced forward to

! tone, ''to change my dress and send
. q messenger to friends viii you

"Willingly," said the detective.
''In the meantime / will await you

4 FESDIsH REVENGE.


One Of those romantic but at the
same time savage crimes which occa-
sionally come TO the surface, occurred
recently in that section Of the Costa
Rica coast washed by the restless
waters Of the Caribbean sea. The
village Of Matina, IN the northeastern
part Of Costa Rica, has population
composed largely Of fishermen. Some
two years ago there appeared in their
midst handsome young man, about
thirty years Of age, whose clerical
bearing at once stamped him as a
minister Of the gospel. His seeming
ly modest department and genial dis
position made him q great favorite
with the women, and in company with
the male portion be was not wont to
allow bis vocation to interfere with a
good dinner, q social glass or an in
teresting story. He gave his name
as Senior Yolva, and his mission the
saving Of souls. In the absence Of
the men he daily visited their families,
and by kind counsels soothed their
sorrows, changed their
GRoANs INTO HYMNS
Of gratitude, and invariably concluded
his pastoral call with a substantial
dinner, washed down by a bottle Of
choice vintage.
There lived in the villsge beauti-
full girl named Senorita Fonseca, to
whom Yolva was engaged in marriage.
Another beauty and inseparable COM
panion Of Senorita Fonseca was Sem
orita Sonsonate. The latter was be.
tiothed to q young man known as
"Daring" Rivas, from the fact Of his
many daring acts in the community.
The wedding day Of the latter arrived,
and amid general rejoicings the mar
riage was duly solemnized. About
three months later the young bride
gave birth to . baby boy. This sud-
den increase to the population of Ma
tina somewhat surprised the bold Ben
edict, and when his wife attempted to
explain the matter as one of those
freaks of nature which frequently
occur, particularly in climates like
that Of Matina, Daring Rivas
closed one eye and significantly re-
marked that he thought the new conner
too healthy an accident, and that he
did not particularly put any faith in
miracles nowadays.
The husband began to smell very
large-sized rat, and Immediately be
gan to hunt for the rodent. One day

Rivas and Yolva we're in bathing to-
gether, when the former noticed
A PECULIAR MARK
upon the shoulder of the padre, and
remembered that the child born to
him short time ago had an identical
mark, and in the same place. This
was a clew to work on, and Rivas was
not slow in taking advantage Of it.
By a species Of clever detective work
he satisfied himself that his wife was
unfaithful. Finally the young bride
confessed that for some time before
and since her marriage she had been
intimate with the padre, and the
wronged husband speedily accounted
for the three months baby on very
commonplace principles.
One day the startling news spread
through the village that the baby boy
had mysteriously disappeared, and its
whereabouts we're as deep a mystery
as its sudden exit. Sonora wept bit
terly, while R,vas limited at witchcraf'
and looked solemn.
Hardly had the excitement Of tht
sudden spiriting away of the chile
died out when it was discovered that
Pade Yolva had also mysteriously die
