The prison physician demonstrated
with the shredding nut as follows:

CHAPTER II.
Spanish Gold.

The twins were seven years old when
Donna IsabePs schemes bore their first
bitter fruit, and the occasion was q
particularly uproarious night when
Don Esteban entertained a crowd of
his Castilian friends. Little Rosa was
awakened at a late hour by the laugh
ter and shouts of her fathers guests.
She vas afraid, for there was some
thing strange about the voices, some
quality to them which was foreign to
the child's experience. Creeping into
her brothers ROOM she awoke him, and
together they listened. Rosa began to
whimper, and when Esteban tried to
reassure her his own voice was thin
and reedy from fright.
In the midst of their agitation they
heard some one weeping; there came
rush of feet down the hallway, and the
next instant Evangelina flung herself
into the room.
She fell upon her knees before them.
Little masterl Little mistress 70 she
sobbed. you will save me, won't you?
We love each other, Ell? See then,
what a crime this, isl Say that you
will save mel"
The children were frightened. but
they managed to quaver: "What has
happened? Who has harmed your"
