While acting in bis judicial capac

with mercv. but it is sad he took q
keen pleasure in coloring it, when-
ever possible. with romance. And
that brings me to the story.
IL Havana. IN Tacou's time, there
was beautiful young Creole girl,
named Miralda Es,alez who kept
little cigar shop. Miralda was an
orphan, having lost her father and
mother before sh- was l6.
Though she was paid cor slant at.
ten'ion by her rich and gay young
patrons, she never for u moment
allowed her head to be turned by
their hatier,es from Mantanez, the
young boatman, who was her accept
ed lover
One of Miralda's customers was
Count Almonte, the gayest cavalier
in Havana. One day. finding her
alone, he took the opportunity to
declare his passion, beseechiI 6 her
to go with blm to his magnificent
mansion at Cerito, in the suburbs.
Miialda bade him never again Insult
her by EN-, ering her shop
On the following afternoon file
of soldiers halted at the door of the
little cigar shop, aud the Lieutenant,
entering, ordered the frightened girl
to follow him Immediately
"What fo,?' she asked. "Ey
whose orders?'
1.-The Governor Generals
Not daring to oppose such high
authority, Miralda closed her shop
and went with the lieutenant
She was not taken to prison, how
ever, but was conveyed to Almonte's
castle at Cerito. The Count, smiliog
triumphantly, assured her that she
would ba kept prisoner until she
acc4ded to his desires.
What was the surprise of the
lover Pedro, that evening, to find
the little cigar shop closed and
Miralda nowhere to be found. He
discovered where the girl was cen
fined
Then to make sure that she was
not there of her own free will, he
disguised himself as f,iar, and sue
ceeded in getting in and securing an
interview with his inamorata

and Pedro was only poor boa'm4n
Nevertheless, the young lover was
not discouraged. He had heard that

lis Miralda your siste,?" asked
the Governor, as Pedro finished his
story.
''She is my betrothed," replied
Pedro.
Tacon then bade him come rearer,
and holding up cruci6x, command
ed him, with look that penetrated
to his very soul, to swear to the
truth of what he had said. Pedro
knelt, kissed the cross and swore
Two hours later Tacon had the
Count and Miralda before him.
"Count Almonte," said the Cover
nor, "you adopted the uniform of
the guards for your own private
purposes upon this young girl, did
