covered with moss. Even the grave
stones which mark the resting-places
Of the dead are dull and dark; the
names being almost illeglble. All is
quiet, all is sad, all is deserted, save i'll
one place, where, climbing on broken
arch glows in unwonted luxurance
the warm brilliance Of the passion
flower. A thing of life amidst the uni

the desoation. Quivering in the wind,
burning in the sunshine, whispering in
the moonlight. 1t springs from grave
apart from all the rest, grave scarcely
recognizable as such, save for the fallen
stone, upon which can be family traced
one word-a word which once drove the
city mad, name which lives in song and
story, the name "Chonita."
The people shake their heads over the

lightly touching their guitars, sing

Men died with her name on their lips.
Still she laughed and danced. Cruel?
Heartless? Yes. But, ah! the most
beautiful thing on earth.
The Young maids hated her, for their
lovers forgot them after one look into
her dark eyes. The mothers cursed her,
for love of her meant death to their
sons. The priests feared her, for. to
them, she WIS the very incarnation OF
evil; the devil who tempted their ans,
