A ND they salloped off with

: unpopular ministers.

these keys-the keys to your homes
and liberty--to your chosen presf-
dent. Shall VI deliver them to En-
rico olivarra's assassin, or to his
son?'
"Olivarra. olivarrar' the crowd
shrieked the magic name-men,
women, children and the parrots.
And the enthusiasm was not con-
fined to the blood of the plebes. Col
onel Rocas ascended the steps and
laid his sword theatrically at young
Ramon Olivarra's feet. -Four mem
bers of the cabinet embraced him.
Captain Cruz gave a command, and
twenty of Ell Ciento Huilando dis
mounted and arranged themselves
in a Gordon about the steps of Casa
Morena.
But Ramon ollvarra seized that
moment to prove himself a born
genius and politician. He waved
! those soldiers aside. and descended
the steps to the street. There, with
out losing his dignity or the distin-
/ guished elegance that the loss of his
red hair brought him, he took the
proletariat to his bosonn-the bare
footed, the dirty. Indians, Caribs,
babies. beggars, old, young, saints,
soldiers and sinners-he missed none
of them.
While this act OF the drama was
being presented, the scene shifters
lhad been busy at the duties that had
been assigned to them. Two Of
iCruz's dragons had seized the bride
reins of Losada's horses; others
formed a close guard around the
Icarriage; and they galloped off With
fa los
ministers. No doubt a place had
been prepared for them. There are
number of well BARRED stone
apartments in Coralio.

calmly lighting another cigar.
Captain Cronin had been intently
watching the vicinity of the stone
steps for some time.
Good boy" he exclaimed sudden

was going to forget his Kathleen
Mavourneen."
Young Olivarra had reascended
the steps and spoken a few words TO
| General Pillar. Then that distin-
guished veteran descended to the
ground and approached Pasa. who
still stood, wonder-eyed, where
DickY had left her. with his
plumed hat in his hand, and his med
ais and decorations shining on his
breast. the general spoke to her and
gave her his arm, and they went mp
the stone steps of the Casa Morena
| together. And then Ramon Olivarra
stepped forward and took both her
hands before all the people.
And while the cheering was
breaking out afresh everywhere.
/ Captain CrOnin and Mr.. Vincent
turned and walked toward the shore
where the gig was waiting for them.
"Therell be another 'presidente

Mr.. Vincent, musingly. "As a rule
