and the French were being driven from

Days more passed of fighting and
confusion and it was evident that the
end was approaching. Augustine and
Gabriel had not met in the horrible
disorder of the combat.
One day Gabriel saw Candida COM

But Augustine was not killed that
day-nor the next-though he exposed
himself recklessly. Neither did the
French take the city, and that evening
Augustine and his friends attended
vespers in the Church of the Virgin del
Pillar.

by an old serving woman.
Mariquilla was, indeed, beautiful. She

and a broad, low forehead

garden gap opened and the two men
entered. Augustine had insisted that
his friend should accompany him into
the garden.
The old serving maid received them
and took them to remote part of
the grounds where stood figure
wrapped in a mantle. 1t was Mari

low, saying that she feared her father

"Candolia is wretch--but what
fault has she? What fault have I-she
and I? None. 1 am going to try and
get shot today"
But shots seemed to avoid him, while
they caught many another brave fellow
who had not wished for them.
After the scene at Candolia's house
on the occasion of the seizure of the
flour, Augustine did not visit the old
garden for some days-though he knew
that Mariquilla walked there nightly
wandering for him.
But the bombs of the French had be-
gun to set fire to the houses in many
parts of the city, and one day Angus
tine saw a fire in the direction of the
house of Candida.

After the War

The Spanish defenders of Saragossa
were allowed to march out of the city
with the honors of war. 1t was pitt
full handful that made their way
through the gate.
Gabriel went with the fragments of
that weak and shattered army, but he
was so feeble from his experiences that
he had to be supported upon both sides
as he marched out.
Don Jose stayed in the city. The
French respected him and he found
powerful protectors, so that, in time,
his fortunes were restored.
But he was a broken man physically.

indian May Have Rum LIesnee.

An indian or q man Of Indian de.
scent cannot purchase liquor In the
state of Michigan. but provided he fills
other requisites necessary for the
granting Of license to sell liquor,
there is nothing in the state laws to
prevent him doing 30.
This is the gist OF an opinion rem.
dered by Attorney General Fellows at
the request of the authorities of Bara.
ga county, who. It seems. are confront.
cd with an actual case.
Mr.. Fellows holds that II the man,
though he be Of Indian descent. is a
citizen Of Michigan, and otherwise is
capable Of dispensing liquor. he can.
not be refused license on the ground
that he comes within the law regard
ing Indians and the liquor trade,
Another liquor question was solved
by the attorney general for the Bad
Axe authorities. A saloon keeper
there sold out just before the granting
Of the license. and the succeeding a>
plicant was refused red card. Mr..
Fellows holds that "a new bar Is not
created by change of ownership
where occupation for saloon purposes
10 continuous"
The attorney general also ruled that
Indebtedness must be deducted from
personal credits and not from exempt
property, when It comes to assessing
the valuation Of personal property.
A mixup on the state reward board
law caused the attorney general to
decide that the townships and road
districts may apply for single reward
on trunk line highways. and are not
required to improve those highways 90
as to claim double reward, unless they
choose.
