Casa Riego.
CHAPTER 1.


The strangeness and tremendous
ness OF what was happening came
over me very strongly whilst, in a
large chamber with barred loopholes,
| was throwing off the rags in which
l had entered this house. The night
had come already, and / was putting
on some of Carlos clothes by the
many flames of candles burning In a
tail bronze candelabrum, whose three
legs figured the paws of a lion.
Don Balthasar, understood, was ap-
pr1sed of my arrival. AS in a dream
| followed the old negro, who had re-
turned to the door of my room.t We
walked along the upper gallery; his
cane tapped before me on the tesse-
lated pavement; below, the water
splashed in the marble basins; glass
lanthorns hung glimmering between
the pillars and, in wrought silver
frames, lighted the broad white stair
case. Under the inner curve of the
vaulted gateway black-fa man on
guard, with a bell-mouthed gun, rose
from stool at our passing. thought
l saw Castro's peaked hat and large
cloak fit In the gloom into which fell
the light from the small doorway of
sort of guardroom near the closed
gate. We continued along the arcade
walk; double curtain was drawn to
guide stepped aside.
In a vast white apartment three
black figures stood about a central
glitter Of crystal and silver. At once
the aged, slightly mechanical voice of
Don Balthasar rose thinly, putting
himself and his house at my dispo-
sitlon.
The formality of movement, of voices,
governed and checked the unbounded
emotions of my wonder. The two la
dies sank, with a rustic of starch and
stiff silk, In answer to my profound
bow. 1 had just enough control over
myself to accomplish that, but mental
ly I was out of breath; and when 1
felt the slight trembling touch Of Don
Balthasars hand resting on my inclin-
ed head, it was as if l had suddenly
become aware for a moment of the
earth's motion. The hand was gone; his
face was averted, and a corpulent
priest, all straight and black below his
rosy round face, had stepped forward
to say Latin grace In solemn tones
that wheezed little. AS soon as he
had done he withdrew with a circular
bow to the ladies, to Don Balthasar,
who inclined his silvery head. His life
less voice propounded:
Our excellent Father Antonio. in
his devotion, dimes by the bedside of
our beloved Carlos" He sighed. The
heavy carvings Of his chair rose up
right at his back; he sat with his head
leaning forward over his silver plate
A heavy silence fell. Death lowered
over that table-and also, as IL the
breath Of past ages. The multitude of
lights, the polished floor of costly wood
the bare whiteness Of walls wainscoted
with marble, the vastness of the room
the imposing forms of furniture, carved
heavily In ebony, impressed me with a

dared hardly lift my eyes to the dark
and radiant presence facing me across
table furniture that was like a dis
play of treasure.
But did look. She was the girl of
the lizard, the girl Of the dagger, and,
In the solemnity of the silence, she
was like a fabulous apparition from a
half-fOrgOtten tale. l watched coVertIy
the youthful grace of her features.
The curve of her cheek filled me with
delight. From time to time she shook
the heavy clusters of her curls, and 1
was amazed, as If I had never before
seen Woman's hair. Each parting of
her lips was a distinct anticipation Of
great felicity; when she said few
words to me, / felt an inward trem-
bling. They were Indifferent words.
Had she forgotten she was the girl
What did that old man know? What
did he think? What did he mean by
that touch of a blessing on my head?
Did he know how l had come to his
house? But every turn Of her head
troubled by thoughts. The movements
Of her hands made me forget myself.
The gravity Of her eyes above the
alteration.
AT a given moment an enormous
iron key was brought in on a silver
salver, and, bending over the chair,
the gray-headed negro laid 1t by Don
Balthasar's plate.
Don Carlos orders" he muttered.
The old Don seemed to wake up;
little color mounted to his cheeks.
There was a time, young caballero,
when the gates Of Casa Riego stood
open night and day to the griefs and
poverty of the people, like the doors
Of a church-and as respected. But
now 1t seems"
He mumbled a little peevishly, but
seemed to recollect himself. 1.-The
safety of his guest is like the breath
Of life to a Castilian," he ended, with
a benignant but attentive look at me.
He rose, and we passed out through
the double lines OF the servants rang
ed from table to door. By the splash
of the fountain, on little round table
between two chairs, stood a many
branched candlestick. The duenna sat
-dewn opposite Don Balthasar. A null
titude OF stars was suspended over the
breathless peace of the court.
"Senorita," 1 began, mastering all
my courage, and all my Spanish, IT
do not know"
She was walking by my side with
upright carriage and a nonchalant step,
and shut her fan Smartly.
Don Carlos himself had given me
the dagger" she said rapidly.
The fan flew open; a touch of the
wind tanning her person came family
upon my cheek with a suggestion of
delicate perfume.
She noticed my confusion, and said,
Let us walk to the end, senior"
The old man and the duenna had
cards In their hands now. The init
mate tone of her words ravished me
into the seventh heaven.
"Ah,' she said, when we were out
of ear-shot, II have the spirit of my.
house; but am only a weak girl. We
have taken this resolution because of
our hidalguidad; because you are our
kinsman, because you are English.

Without question. Perhaps he fancies

coming he was ignorant, of course.

at TINS secret of my innermost heart
voiced by his bloodless lips-as if a
dream had come to pass as if a mira
Gle had taken place. He added. with
an 1ndefinable smile of an almost uh-
earthly usefulness:
Il would have married vonr sie+ar

He had on him the glamour of things
Engllsh-of English power emerging
from the dust of wars and revolution:
OF England stalwart and undismayed.
IKE a strong man who had kept his
feet In the lettering of secular edifices

something fine, something romantic.
just as for me romance had always
seemed to be embodied in his features.

he breathed.
We were constantly talking of

all our conversations, and when Carlos

nad stood on the point behind the very
battery OF guns which had swept Row
leys boats out of existence.
The narrow entrance faced, across
the water, the great portal of the ca
thedral. Rio Medic had been a place
of some splendor in It's time. The rU-
nous heavy buildings chung to the hill
sides, and my eyes plunged into broad
vista of an empty and magnificent
street Behind many of the imposing
and escutcheOned frontages there was
nothing but heaps Of rubble; the foot
steps Of rare passersby woke lonely
echoes, and strips of grass outlined i'm
paralelograms the flagstones of the
roadway. The Casa Riego raised it's
buttressed and lOopholed bulk near the
shore, resembling defensive outWork;
on my other hand the shallow bay,
vast, placid and shining, extended t.
self behind the strip of coast like an
enormous lagoon. The fronds of palm
clusters dotted the beach over the
CLASSY simmer Of the far distance.
The dark and wooded slopes Of the
hills closed the view inland on every
side.
Under the palms and green masses
Of vegetation concealed the novels Of
the rabble. There were three so-calIed
villages at the bottom Of the bay;
and that terrible man, Senior Juez
OBr1en could with simple nod send
every man in them to the gallows.
The respectable population of Rio
Medic, leading clustered existence
IN the ruins of old SplendOr, used to
call the thievish rabble Lugarenos-
villagers. They were sea thieves, but
they were dangerous.
Carlos thought that while Don
Balthasar lived, O'Brien would do
nothing to compromise his influence
over him. Neither could 1 take any
action; must wait and watch.
O'Brien would, no doubt try to re-
move me; but as long. as I kept within
the Casa, he thought 1 should be safe.
He recommended me to try to please
his cousin, and even found strength
to smile at my transports. Don
Balthasar liked me for the sake of his
sister, who had been SO happy in Eng
land. | was his kinsman and his
guest. From first to last, England,
the idea of my country, of my home,
played great part in my life then;
it seemed to rest upon all our
thoughts For Carlos it was the con-
crete image Of stability, with the
romantic feeling of it's peace and OF
Veronica's beauty, the Interchangeable
land where he. had loved. With Sera-
pima L talked Of it and its denizens
as of a fabulous country. 1 wonder
what idea she had formed of my
Sonora Dona Veronica Rooksby," she
called her-of the landscape, Of the
life, Of the sky. Her eyes turned to
me seriously. Once, STOPPING, she
plucked an orange marigold for her
hair; and at last we came to talk of
our farm as Of the only perfect refuge
for her.

1T seems as if nothing could restrain
the man." Seraph1na's voice went on by
my side, neither fear nor gratitude.
Senior, my English cousin, he even
dares aspire to my person.
The game Of cards was over.

whisper of calm resolution.
She dropped me a deep courtesy.

horror in my breast; and, turning
away from me, she sank low, bending

For centuries there had always been

World with the whole majesty of his

of noble adventures presented four
square to the night outside, standing
there by the seashore like a tomb of
war-like glories. They built their
houses thus centuries ago, when the
bands of buccaneers, indomitable and
atrocious, had haunted their conquest
with a reminder Of mortality and
weakness.
1t was a tremendous thing for me.

He must have counted, also, on my
youth, my stupidity, or my want of
principle. Finding out his mistake, he
very soon made up his mind how to
act; and Carlos, fearing that worse
might befall me, had let him.
But when the young girl had helped
me to escape, Carlos, who understood
fully the very great risks / ran in go
