While factions were fighting for the

There must have been some hidden

her. From becoming acquainted the
W. became companions. They were
frequently seen together in the streets,
and Cortina visited her.
People wondered when they met the
strange couple if this were not q case
of genuine love. under the influence
of which a mend incarnafe would be
transformed into Il loyable and loving
man. Soldiers who were responsible
for the mans keeping observed. but
said nothing. They had their orders
from the government and obeyed
them.
But underneath the people maryeled
to see one who was ostensibly waiting
for the government to fix n day when
the garrOte should end his career for
ever. giving himself up to the pleasure
of loving and being loved. without an
effort to avert the final tragedy.
One night Cortina's j~ailers met with
a surprise. The sunset and the pris-
oner had not returned. Perhaps he
had been belated. The twilight faded,
and yet nothing was seen of the pris-
oner. At dark he was still absent, and
the guard was turned out. Whether
it was called out under a pretense
or whether the orders were that they
should make an effort to find the pris-
oner and return him to Jail doesn't
matter. This man of so much unrecog-
nized Importance to the government
was missing. and it behooved the au-
thorities to show zeal in looking for
him.
The guard was about to start from,
the prison yard when n man staggered
up to the gate. threw up his hands
and fell upon his face. Against his
breast was the hilt of a s~tiletto.
The man was Cortina.
"Yes. | am late" he said feebly, 'but
| came. Love lured me to death. I
had been with her all the afternoon.
Then when it was time for me to
return here she begged me to stay
longer with her. When l came away
the night had fallen. We walked to-
gether to the door. | kissed bar good
by. 1t was dark. l felt the point of
a knife as it slipped into my vitals.
l drew the pistol you have permitted
me to carry. but she had vanished in
the shadow"
Cortina gasped and fell dead.
The beautiful Caribbean was not
again seen in the capital. The next
day the story of Cortina's death was
told among the people. but no one ven
tured upon an explanation. Some sup
posed that the woman who killed him
was one ON whom he had inflicted
crimes. Perhaps he might have mur-
dered some n dear TO her-might
have robbed her of her fortune. Others
who We're nearer the truth kept their
suggestions to themselves. The sti-
letto was a convenient method at the
time for silencing people who talked
too much.
But gradually Cortina. his singular
treatment by the government. the
manner of his taking off. ceased to be
the wonder of the day. giving place to
new sensations. Some years after,
when a new president came into pow
er, many acts of wickedness OF his
predecessor anne to light. 1t then be-
came known that the government
dared not openly execute Cortina be-
cause of his threats and those OF his
former companions In crime to reveal
the governments completely in their,
robberles. The beautiful Caribbean
had beer paid a large sun to becomel
his executioner.
