ming at right angles to the plaza they
hailed cab, into which he Of the uni
form stepped, drew the door to and sat
down 10 wait.
The other, saunterin" over to the
plaza. took his station near a group Of
| palms. in the shade of which two or
! three carriages were grouped. And
| soon the old bells doomed, and the peo-
| pie streamed out. Among them were
| the two for whom our amateur detect
! i've was lying in wait, and as theNen-
tered one of the carriages he managed
to get near enough to hear the order
to Fort San Marco" After a moment
or two spent in perfunctorily gazing
at the memorial shaft by the fountain
| he joined his friend in the side street,
| and together they drove away
BY three o'clock in the afternoon the
fort was crowded with people. The
shady courtyard and the cool corridors
beneath the massive entranc" held
their quota. while others of the mcr-
curial crowd fitted up the stone stair
way to the ramparts above. Easter
tolettes bIussomed by the stern bas-
lions, and children'S laughter fillcdthe
embrasures whore cannon once guard
ed the honor of Spain.
Walking through this animated
scene, part Of il, and yet fore,gn toit,
were the young lady and the stout
gentleman. There was a third person
in the party now, a stranger with a
distinguished air and eyes into which
flames flashed as he talked.
There's a fine view for you, senior"
remarked Mr.. Maynall, the stout gen
tleman, giving his cane an outward
flourish as he spoke.
Don Miguel nodded a smiling assent:
he was too happy for words.
But a cry Of rage from Mr.. Maynall
broke in on his trance. Right I'M
der the sea wall, at the foot of the
eastern glacis, four-oared boat
rocked on the incoming tide. and as
Marian Maynall caught sight of it
she turned to her father and said,
with sparkle in her eyes: "They
are waiting for some one down there;
wonder who it can be-"
Yes. they belong to that gunboat
yonder | suppose some young naval
sprig out for lark, curse him"
"Father!" exclaimed the young girl
angrily.
II mean what ! say" reioined the
other. ~ hate the whole service be-
cause Of that impudent iackanapes
with whom YOU have been faucying
yourself in love. But that's all over
now, thank Heaven, and | suppose /
ought to laugh at him instead. What
have you to say, Miquel?" he con-
cluded. giving the Spaniard playful
poke with his cane.
"Oh, OH What is it. senor?" re-
piled Miguel, coming back to realty
with a start.
II say we will laugh at certain
person after vespers," answered Mr..
Magnall, testify.
The don's reply was a scowl, and a
gesture indicative of desire to ex-
terminate somebody. Then bending
towards the young lady he raised her
hand to his lips. He did not see her
look of aversion; he would not have
cared if he had. 1t was enough for
him that he was about to marry Il
great heiress, and so be able to pay
off his numerous debts; what the
heiress thought or felt about il was
of supreme Indifference to him.
As the three moved away tourists
guide stepped out from an embrasure
and walked ieisurely down the stair
way.
IF only my plan doesn't fail" he
said to himself. He wrote something
in memorandum book in his hand.
