Antonio Menzada. the dark-browei
spaniard. In vain the girl assured

zled jealousy he watched her CROWNS

warned her. in note after note, that
he would brook no rivalry. she
scorned TO answer. and babe the ser
wants refuse him admittance. When
she told Conrad. he laughed. as he
laughed at everything.
That very morning Antonios worst
fears had been confirmed. A mall
cious servant from the villa told him
OF viyions betrothal to the English
man. and then fed for life before the
demon he had aroused.
There was nothing generous or great
in Antonio at any time. and now his
whole being was concentrated upon
one idea-rovenge Antonio's stlletto
gllttored as he let tho sunlight fall
upon It.
He was the only son OF a rich coffee
planter, and had never known n wish
ungratlnod. To be foiled in the SUI
preme desire OF his life was more than
he could bear To tear the girl from
her lover was now his one thought,
and IL possessed his soul like a devil.
The bearer OF evil tidings was gone.
He stood upon the shore alone, A
little boat rocked idly ON the waves.

out like knotted iron. but their
strength was useless now. Slowly, re-
slstlessly. the boat was dragged back

Kissing roar became audible, and look.

fire rising from the very bosom OF the
sea and extending even to Krakaioa Il
self The ocean was pouring is
whole volume into the abymal fires
that yet were not extinguished. and on
the crest OF that awful and majestic
cataract his little boat whirled on to
doom. The covering wretch sank down
and hid his face. The tremendous
roar OF the waters drowned out his
frenzled prayers and curses. He
strove 20 make the Sign OF the cross
in the cold sweat on his brow.
In that inferno OF waters, his nov
