Truth to tell. VIII Harcourt from the
time he first opened the door leading to
the Flores garden, had lived in very
hell Of torment. Possessed by an evil
infatuation for the beautiful singer. his
days were spent in remorse over his I'M
faithfulness TO Madeline-whose letters
lay unread and unanswered-and a de-
termination to redeem his lost honor
and free himself from the tolls of the
enchantress. But, no matter what he
might resolve, when night fell and the
silvery strains of her lutte came softly
through the adobe walls, he would
hasten TO the garden OF Amorita. In
her presence his doubts disappeared,
but only to assail him with redoubled
force when daylight came again and he
was forced to undergo the routine OF
his business.
The money he had carefully saved for
Madeline was lavished upon Amorita.

Gonzales's story, she weepingly denied
its truth. and at the sight OF her lovely
eyes filled with tears, Harcourt was
ready to kill the man who had traduced
her.
Time went on, until at last one day
VIII Harcourt awoke TO the fact that
he was ruined: 4 check given by him
at the Bank of Mexico. All the money

the Government seal was still on the

from this direction. and he heard It most

unused door, covered now by luxurious
rose vine. but which. he knew, connected
with the passage leading to the Flores
garden.
He stood still and listened. Soft and

every nerve. Something impelled him
to follow them. and he pushed aside the
