THE LUGO HOME

"Your uncle is dead and has left no
will; you are the only heir to his
princely fortune. I was his medical
attendant and have written everywhere
to try to find you'll"
providence has not deserted me
then!" cried Romero, and he almost
tainted with excessive joy.
All the surrounding country was
excited by the news that the heir to
the immense wealth of the rich broker
had at last been found. Juana Maria
and Martinez were married in a few
months after Romero's good fortune.
Her arbitrary father was as proud as
be was rich, and he Was delighted when
the wealthy young man, of a family
equal in rank with his own, offered his
hand in marriage to his only daughter,
Juana.
Romero was now an altered man;
stunning cards and drink and places
of kindred amusement. he spent his
time among his estates, leading q quiet
life. dreaming of his lost love; the only
star Of hope that had ever cheered him
was shedding her rays of happiness
upon another. In obedience to her
fAther'n wishes ahs had married. while

events! At last I have seen her once
more! And she is not hsppy-she
seems sad and pensive Can it be that
she is thinking of me?"
He was deeply moved and tears filled
his eyes unbidden, as he asked himself
this question; no doubt because he
knew how unworthy he was OF
thought from her, who was 80 beautiful
and good. Before he had seen her he
WAS hungry, but now he had forgotten
the pangs of hunger, and was absorbed
in thinking Of what he had seen and
heard. For he had heard that she, the
daughter Of Don Antonio, the richest
and proudest of all the Dons of Los
Angeles, was to give that evening de-
cisite answer to the rich young Mar
tinez. What would that ans wer be, he
feared to think.
Desperate and miserable, but uncon-
scious of his surroundings or his ac-
tions, he turned his steps toward the
casa and sank before the door in
swoon. Some of the servants discov-
cred him. and bearing him quickly
away, put him in charge of an officer.
When consciousness returned he
found himself in a damp and gloomy
cell, with barred and grated windows.
The herald., 1896-02-23

Romero, from whom her heart had
never turned. in spite OF his neglect
and dissipation, was yet on his bed of
delirium, because her hand was pledged
in marriage to Martinez. Nearly year
had passed since the date of Romeros
change of fortune, during which he
and Juana began to meet, at first in Sc
cret, and then openly at her fathers
house. Her husband was neglecting
her. He would leave her and her little
babe and rsvel for days in houses of
pleasure, which we're not always of the
best repute, and was losing heavily at
cards, his fortune rapidly melting
away. Juana's father saw this, and
daily his head bowed lower, his step
grew heavier and his dark hair began
to silver. The only comfort he had
was the company of his much beloved
grandchild, little Anita. He knew that
Juana loved Romero; he also knew that
Romero's life was bound up in hers.
and that by his selfish pride he had
driven them both to sorrow and DE-

principal thoroughfares, until they
reached house which was then con-
sidered magnificent. In the present
city Of Los Angeles the very house
still stands, witness to my story of
those good old days when the Spanish
held sole sway in Southern California.
The house is wonderfully we'll pre-
served and is occupied as a tenement.
Its tile roof has been replaced by one
of shingles, and the cement floors of
oldsn days are covered now with
boards, but the long, low porch still
stands at the front. It does not re-
vuire second glance from the curious
traveller of today ut the old house to
recognize the Casa de Antonio Maria
to which our friends repaired, from the
gambling hall, on that night in 1910.
The place WAS brilliantly lighted, the
sound of music echoed from within,
and the air around was ladened with
the perfume of the orange and the
odor of the flowers that festooned the
open easement.
The traveller followed the two men
until they entered the casa. He walked
slowly to the opposite side of the
street, from which point he attentively
watched the windows of the house.
Presently a group of senoritas ap-
proached an open door, and his eyes
fell upon one slightly older than the
others. Her cheeks were very pale and
her listless air indicated feelings by no
means in keeping with her gay sur
roundings. She was perhaps 20. but it
was difficult to guess her age, for her
face was one of those which changed
with every pass sing feeling. Her brown
eyes were mild and expressive. but her
countenance wore shade of depres-
sion.
"Ah, it is shew murmured the watch.

of the outer door and the loud and
querulous voice of Martinez speaking
to the servant in the hall.
Jusna sprang to her feet, and i'm
plored Romero, with clasped hands and
white face, to depart by the side door
at once.
"It's my husbandi' and the fright
ened woman opened the door of the
ante chamber. "rhere, there, for my
sakeg" said Juana, while he hurriodly
kissed the tips of her cold, trembling
fingers. As one door closed on the
lover the other opened to admit the
husband. The young wife was stand
ing with apparent calmness by the
window, pretending to be looking out
on the garden.
"What are you doing Juana?" de-
manded Martinez, as he entered the
room and threw himself csrelessly on
the couch that but moment before
was occupied by Romero.
II am simply admiring the beautiful
moonlit garden" she said in a languid
manner, half turning toward him.

tired Of it. A whimpering, puny wo-
man makes me disgusted," and he
kicked over chair which stood near.
She did not speak, but stood silent
and pale, with bleeding heart, longing
for death to give her relief.
The horrible life behind her and the
dark future before her, made her brain
real, the emotions which filed her
mind we're too much for support, and
nature giving away, she fell to the
floor.
The husband, coward that he was,
grew frightened to see her fall as II in

spondency. He watched as anxiously
as Juana for the coming of their faith
full friend, and Romero was always
kind and gentle to the poor old man
whom he had long ago forgiven. The
cruel husband, however, he could not
forgive. They often met, but never
spoke nor even recognized each other.
Don Antonio, frequently begged the
quiet young man to come and sit with
him at his home, and he did so, for he
saw that he was failing rapidly under
this heavy load.
The debauched husband was rapidly
squandering his fortune, and was GER
tain to leave his wife and children in
comparative destitution.
Juana's moist lashes and sunken
cheeks told Romero more of her suffer-
ings, than she had even told him in
words and his heart ached for her.
The old don grew more and more
confidential with Romero; he had
! learned to lean on him for support with
dependence almost childlike. One
day while they were seated alone in the
casa in Antonio's private room, the old
man suddenly turned to him and NOV
ing his chair closer, placed his wrinkled
man, as it lay on the back of the chair.
Romero knew that he was about to
speak of something important; for a
long time he had felt the old gentle
man had something on his mind which
gave him much distress and apparently
could not find courage to unburden
himself. He had lost confidence in the
world and seemed o. late to turn only
to Romero. This both pleased and
f1attered Romero, although he was
powerless to either assist or comfort
the father.
"Don Romero" said Antonio, look
ing searchinRly into the clear, dark
eyes of his companion, "can trust you
to keep secret which must leave
with someone? I cannot live much
longer-a few months, perhaps-and I
ask you again, can trust you, my
boy?" He looked suspiciously about
to make sure that no one could over
hear them, and satisfied that all was
safe, he again looked appealingly for
an assurance from Romero.
"Yes, certainly you can. Don Anto.

After his departure Romero had gone
to the house OF Juana's father.
As he crossed the plaza he deter
mined on q plan for the future. On
his arrival he found the casa in dark
ness, except for one little glimmer of
light from the don's room. Romero
raped gently and the keen ears OF the
old don recognizing the rap, he opened
the door, much surprised at seeing his
friend at such a late hour. 1t was then
past 10, and he was up much later than
usual that night, trying to draw COM
fort from his pipe while communing
with his thoughts.
When he saw it was Romero, he was
glad and gave him a hearty greeting,
but when the light fell upon his face,
hs saw that something unusual had
happened, and saw also that vengeance
was conceded in that dark scowl. He
drew back, as if in fear for moment,
and Romero dropped into the first
chair ne came to. They we're both
silent for some minutes, during which
Antonio Maria sat looking at him with
troubled. wondering gaze. At last
Romero said:

Scarcely had he time to collect his
scattered thoughts when a gentleman
entered, and looking at him kindly
seemed glad to find him better.
In answer to eager questions this
gentleman said:
"You we're brought here my good
man some six months ago, picked up
on the streets by an officer. in an un-
conscious condition, and since that
time have been q raving maniac"
"Please tell me where am then?"
with frightened look around him.
The man smiled pityingly and an

"Lunatics and prisoners!" exclaimed
the sick man, with shudder, "and
have been in this place six months?"
"Six months" repeated the doctor,
for such he proved to be. "Have you
any friends whom you wish to inform
of your situstion?"
"No! I have no friends. My con-

PARDONED, BUT DYING.
William Mugarrieta Has Only Escaped
San Quentin to End His Life
at Home.

There was sad scene at the Sausalito
ferries yesterday when the steamer that
connects with the San Quentin train
arrived. A convict who had been pardoned
by the Governor was on his way home to
die. Just as he was being welcomed by
his mother and sisters, violent lit of
coughing seized him, and few minutes
later blood was flowing from his m outh.
A violent hemorrhage followed, and for a
time it seemed as though he would die on
the wharf. The police ambulance was
summoned, but by the time it reached the
ferries, the man had partially recovered
and was driven home in hack which his
relatives had in readiness.
The unfortunate man is William Mugar-
rieta, and he was sent to San Quentin in
February. 1895, for robbery. Even at that
time he was in very delicate state of health
and his attorney made strong plea on his
behalf. The Judge was inexorable. how
ever, and gave him the full sentence.
Ever since his relatives have been trying
to get his term commuted. Governor
Budd would not acquiesce until last
Wednesday, when the prisoner had two
hemorrhages. Warden Hale telegraphed
the Governor that the man was dying and
recommended his pardon. The Governor
at once acted on the suggestion, and Mu-
garrieta was set free.
