One leap and he was down the steps

Plaza de Toros.
Suddenly, as be turned the corner OF
the Gale San Pablo, be ran against
young girl Of the Triana faubourg, whom
he had known since childhood, and who
was called La Chata. She was pale and
sad, and her great black eyes were full
Of tears.

Morenito stood pensive moment, his
luminous gaze plunged deep into the wet
eyes of the weeping Chata; then brusque-
ly he drew the white piece from his
pocket, the miraculous five peseta piece,
and pressed 1t into the hand Of his little
friend.
"Take it. nina mia, said he; 'stake
this money; it came to me from tho Vir-
gin de la Esperanza, and the bonita
madre will not be vexed If use it to
cure thy mother"
La Chata was SO overjoyed that she
did not stop for word Of thanks, but
ran without turning to the druggists
shop.
Truly it was written that Morenito
should not go to the Easter bull course
But as there are always compensations
in this world he did not on that account
pass less gay Sunday.
On that day Chata's mother was bet
ter, and the young girl came to the po-
sada court to find and thank him for the
service that he had done them. She had
also made for herself festival garment,
and with the rest Of the Blessed Virgins
money bought two blood red roses for
her raven tresses. and then she and Mo-
renito had gone to stroll along the Quad
