half the youth of the village, till despised

And so the fame of little COncha went far

Yet when Rafael the alcalde's son. came
to the door on moonless nights Concha was
there. Hers was the full blood, quick run

For this he paid Manuela to afford him

cheeks and little Dolores wept for COM

Thus it CHANGED that this foolish Rafael
the alcalde's son, marched whistling to his
fate. His broad sombrero was cooked to
the left and looped on the side. His Cor
dovan gloves were loosely held in his right
hand along with his tasseled cane. He had
an eye to the pavemented street, lest he
should defie his lacquered shoes, with their

amined the lock of his gun.
He knew Of cleft deep and secret the
track Of an ancient water course, which
led from his cave on the Puig, past the
cliff, at the foot Of which was perched the
great and famous libbey of Montblanch,
to another and a vet safer hold among
the crags and precipices of Puymorens.
This none knew but his friend and
brother, dearer to lis soul than any other,
save little Dolores alone. Luis Fernandez

He was the groomsman, who even in those

Ramon waited till the mist was at It's

There was the same glad defiance in the
