CRONICA
LA BRUJA

Siempre las classes populares Sc ali
mentaron de preocupaciones estdpi-
das, Y sabido es que en- otras epocas
los hechizoa estuvIeron d la orden del
dia. Pero a -nedida que los pueblos
sc han lido civilizando, las brujas y
los endriag faeron desapareciendo
del haz de ! terra, y mentira parece
que 4 fnc del siglo XIX a1n haya
pueblos ,ue Sc preocupen con una
carcajada mas Q menos ,njsteriosa.
En- Puerto-Rico, donde las classes
populares deian mucho que desear
por su cultura intellectual, no es ex-
trano que a1n subsistan infnidad de
preocupaciones ridfculas, que dan una
idea de la candidez de nuestras gen
tes.
Aqul hay todavla quienes Green en-
bytgas Y en- que los muertos salem de
s.ts t~mbaS a Ia media noche, para irse
de parranda por los sitios mas solita-
rios de la cludad,
En- noches paaadas Sc le ocurrio a
IN vacino satir al patio de su casa, V
lamar unas cuantas carcajadas que
sin duda le retozaban en- Ell cuerpo
Fran las ocho Y media de l4 noche. Y
como 81 4 osa hora no le fuese 4 nadie
permitido reirse, aquella risotada hi
20 fortuna.
mas cuantas coclneras que por
ALI pasaban, SO impresionaron hon
damente Y dieron Ia voz de alarma
Las risas continuation Ell numero
de curiosos era cada vez mayor. A
estos agregose una pareja de orden
p1blico que, armada de un valor inu
sitado, pen8tro en- el patio sable en-
mano, dispuesta 4 librar descomu-
nal batalla con la 1antasDao. Pero el
acero volvi6 virgen su vaina, por-
que la brega, segdn dice una c14et7a de
la Cantera, SO escape por los aires
cabalgando sobre una escoba.
Desde aquella noche, los vecinos
lie Ia casa nPlsteriosa, no tienen paz
nj aoslego, porque Sc ven rodeados de
un slnnumero de curiosos.
Y la imagination popular no cesa
de inventar historias l1gubres Y ra-
ras que atArrorizan 4 aquellas gen
tes
Quienes supopen que es un alma
en- pena quienes que Sc trata de al
gun aburrido que Sc ha ingeniado el
modo de divertirse costa de los zan-
ganos otros que debe ser algdn ca
sero que Sc ha propuesto lamar la
atenci6n sobre aqaellos sitios para
que sus propiedades adquieran mayor
precio; pero todas estas suposiciones,
mas . menos veroslmiles, Sc estrellan
ante la partinaz crAencia de Ia gente
del pueblo de que ALI habita una
byWa.
Anocha el escandalo lego a su
apogeo. Mas de quinientas personals
Sc congregaron frente Ia casa mis-
terioso, J hubo carreras, atropellos y
griteria.
i Ahi yiene Ia bruia!-gritaba
un ahusco, la gente corr1a despa-
rramandose por las GALES inmediatas.
Pasado ell susie, volv1an d agru-
parse, hasta que otra voz de alarma
introducfa nuevamente la confusion

Pero como el espectaculo rayaba
