garden.
Lay him here hear voices. Manu-
ella is bringing help from the house.
said the priest Now come with me, "
and laying his hand on the young mans
shoulder with an action which. though
gentle, was as firm as iron, he led him
away. Fausto made no resistance.
This unlooked-for ending to the scheme
of revenge which his jealous mad
ness had given birth to. seemed to
have crushed the life out Of him.
Three strong passions rule the Spanish
breast--love, revenge and religious
zeal; of these. the two first had turned
to venom in his blood. and he felt him
self passive in the hands of the last.
Rafael Velasco recovered, but he
never again appeared in the bull ring
of Madrid as Guapito the Espada. The
discovery of the kinshiU with Don
Christobal ended his career as torero.
That this would be the case he knew
when he eNacted VOW of secrecy from
his sister SO solemn that she dared not
reveal the truth even to the man she
loved. Now, however. that the secret
had come out by means of Fausto'S =
treachery, an explanation took place
between the lovers. and what the
jealous rival had hoped would forever
separate Manuela and Ramon became
the means of their union.
The morning after the encounter be-
tween Rafael and Ramon. Fausto set
out on journey with Don Gregorio.
No one knew for certain what became
of him. but in a Trappist monastery
high up among the Pyrenees a monk.
renowned for his austerities, was
found. and the flashing eyes which
cleaned through the covering which
hid the face of Brother Antonio from
