CHAPTER XVIII.


Valentine, Dona Anita, NJ Rallier and
Don Martial got into the carriage. The
two Canadians and the chief followed
them on horseback, and they proceeded
at gallop to the chapel where the con-
demned man was confined.
All along the road they found marks
of the obstinate struggle which had del.
uged the city with blood few days pre-
viously; the barbados had not been en-
tirely removed, and though the distance
was in reality very short, they did not
reach the prison until nightfall, owing
to the detours they were forced to make.
Valentine begged his friends to remain
outside, and only entered with Dona
Anita and the Tgrero. The general was
impatiently expecting them, and testified
great joy on percciving them.
The young lady could not restrain her
emotion, and threw herself into her un-
cle's arms with an outburst of PASSION

great wrong; here is my hand, accept it
as that of man who has completely
recognized his faults, and sincerely re-
penis the evil he has DONE"
The Tigrero, more affected than he
liked to display, took step forward and
cordially pressed the hand offered him.

he tried in vain to render firm, this mo-
ment which never dared hope to see,
