and again shaking his head fiercely to free
himself from the torment of the insects
which buzzed about it.
I looked upon him and wondered. l
looked again and knew. Suddenly there
rose before my mind vision of that
gloomy vault in Seville of woman, young
and lovely, draped in. oerements, and of a
thin faced, black robed friar who smOte
her upon the lips with his ivory crucifix
and cursed her for disappearing hereto.
There before me was the man. Isabella de
Siguenza had prayed that fate like to
her own should befall him. and it was
upon him now. Nor indeed, remember
ing all that had been, WAS I minded to
avert it, even if it had been in my power
to DO so. I stood by and let the victim
pass, but as he passed l spoke to him in
Spanish, saying:
''Remember that which it may we'll be

that of an Indian chief rejoicing at the
death of one of his Oppressors.

Remember the dying prayer of Isabella
de Siguenza, whom you struck and
cursed" I answered, mocking. Seek not
to know whence l am, but remember this
only, now and forever"
For moment he stood STILL needless of

CHAPTER Xxx.

ISABELLA DE sIGUENZA IS AVENGED.
For many years after the death Of Qua
temoc I lived with OtOmie at peace in the
City of Pines. Our country was poor and
rugged, and, though we defied the Span
iards and paid them no tribute, now that
Cortes had gone back to Spain they had no
heart to attempt our conquest Save some
few tribes that lived in difficult places like
ourselves, all Anahuac was in their power,
and there was little to gain except hard
blows in the bringing of remnant OF the
people of the Otomie beneath their yoke,
80 they let us be till more convenient
season. I say of remnant of the OtOmic,
for as time went on many clans submitted
to the Spaniards till at length we ruled
over the City of Pines alone and some
leagues of territory about it. Indeed it
was only love for Otomie and respect for
the shadow of her ancient race and name,
together with some reverence for me as one
of the unconquerable white men and for
my skill as a general, that kept our fol
lowing together.
And so the years rolled on, bringing lit
tie change with them, till grew sure that
here in this far place [ should live and die.
But that was not to be my fate.
If any should read this, the story of my
early life, he will remember that the tale
of the death of certain Isabella de Sig
uenza is pieced into it's motley. He will
remember how this Isabella, in the last
moments of her life, called down curse
upon that holy father who added outra:
and insult to her torment, praying that he
might also die by the hands of fanatics
and in a worse fashion. After the con
quest of Anahuac by COrtes, among others
this same fiery priest came from Spain to
turn the Indians to the love of God by tor
ment and by sword. Indeed of all OF those
who entered on this mission of peace ne
was the most Jealous. The Indian pabas
wrought cruelties enough when, tearing
out the victims heart, they offered 1t like
incense to Huitzel or to Onetzal but They
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1895-01-09

greaJ sorrows came upon me. Whether L
was right or wrong, who can say? Those
who judge my story may think that in this
as in other matters was wrong. Had
they seen Isabella de Siguenza die within
her living tomb certainly they would hold
that I was right But for good or ill,
matters came about as have written.
And it came about also that the new
viceroy sent from Spain was stirred to an
ger at the murder of the friar by the rebel
hous and heather people of the Otomie
and cat himself to take vengeance on the

rro1n Jneey''
Crying thus he staggered forward, say
ing: 20 God, into thy hand I commend
my spirit!'' May his soul have peace also,
for If he was cruel at least he was brave
and did not shrink beneath those torments
which he had inflicted on many others.
Now this was little matter, but it's re-
suits were large. Had 1 saved Father Pedro
from the hands of the pabas of the Oto-
mic it is likely enough that should not
today be writing this history here in the
valley of the Waveney. I do not know if
could have saved him. only know that

at least dismissed his soul to the mansions
of the sun. With the Christian priests the
thumbscreW and the stake took the place
Of the stone of sacrifice, but the soul which
they delivered from it's earthly bondage
they consigned to the house of hell.
Of these priests certain Father Pedro
was the boldest and the most cruel. To
and fro he passed, marking his path with
the corpses of idOlaters, until he earned
the name of the "Christian devil" At
length he ventured too far in his holy fer
vor and was seized by a clan of the Otomie
that had broken from our rule upon this
very question of human sacrifice, but
which was not yet subjugated by the Span
iards. One day-it was when we had
ruled for some II years in the City of Pines
it came to my knowledge that the pabas
Of this clan had captured a Christian priest
and designed to offer him to the god Tez-
cat.
Attended by a small guard only, passed
rapidly across the mountains, purposing
to visit the cazique of this clan, with
whom, although he had cast off his allie
glance to us, still kept up show of
friendship, and, if I could, to persuade
him to release the priest. But swiftly as I
travelled the vengeance of the pabas had
been more swift, and arrived at the vii
lage only to find the 'Christian devil' in
the act of being led to sacrifice before the
image of hideous idol that was set upon
stake and surrounded with piles of
skulls. Naked to the waist, his hands
bound behind him, his grizzled locks hang
ing about his breast, his keen eyes fixed
upon the faces of his heather foes in men
ace rather than in supplication, his thin
lips muttering prayers, Father Pedro
passed on to the place of his doom, now
