Runnels admitted the fact cheerfully, and at the same time noted how her partner's muscles swelled and hardened as Miss Garavel glided past in the arms of Ramon Alfarez. It gave her a thrill to see a real drama unfolding thus before her very eyes. To Kirk, Chiquita had never appeared so ravishing, nor so purely Spanish as to-night.
"I promised very faithfully not to tell, so-he is to be the next President of Panama." "Pres " Anthony stared at her in frank amazement. "Why, I thought old man Alfarez " "It seems your country does not like him because he hates Americans-see? This is the work of that Mr. Cortlandt. Think! Is it not wonderful?
"Look here!" Kirk showed the marks his assailants had left upon him. "Will you stand for that? I've been here two nights now without medical attention." "How about that, Alfarez?" The commandant shrugged his shoulders. "If he require a doctor, one shall be secure', but he is not severely injure. I 'ave explain the frightful indignity to the honor of my person, yes? As for me, pooh! It is forget."
Well, he followed Kirk that night after the supper to your husband, but Anson didn't dare call him to the stand at the hearing for fear this Alfarez would perjure more of his black-and- tans." He ground his teeth in rage. "By God! I'll get that Ramon, if it costs me a million they can't stand for such things even here. But I want MORE proof; I want to snow him under absolutely, completely."
I was torn by two great desires, one to remain what I am and have always been, and the other well, the other was the stronger, or would have been if you had allowed it. I never dreamed there was a way out of my misery, a way so close at hand; but somehow even before General Alfarez' voice on the 'phone told me what had happened, I knew, and I I felt "
Alfarez was dressed immaculately, this time in civilian's white linen, his ferocious little mustachios carefully pointed, his cheeks freshly shaven and talcumed, his slender feet encased in white canvas shoes. A wonderful Guayaquil hat, the creamy straws of which were no thicker than silk threads, crowned his sleek, raven locks. It must have cost a small fortune.
I never saw her so excited. Let me know as soon as you can which dance it will be. This suspense Gad! There they are now! Go to it, old man." Into the lobby came a mixed group, in which were Andres Garavel, his daughter, Ramon Alfarez, and the Cortlandts. Kirk's face was white as he went boldly to meet them, but he did his best to smile unconcernedly.
Those newspaper stories nearly killed me, but it wasn't that so much as the thought that you were suffering for my acts." "I'm very sorry. You never thought for a moment that I did what they claim?" "No, no! It has all been a mistake from the first. I was sure of that." "You heard what those two men testified?" "Bah! That is Ramon Alfarez but he can do nothing." "Nothing!
"You strock me wit' the water of the 'ose-carriage," repeated the other. "You 'ave assault the dignity of my country." "I didn't know who you were. I was helping to stop that fire when you butted in. Now, are you going to let me out, or do you want my people to pull this jail down around your ears?" At this threat Senor Alfarez restrained his rage with an obvious effort.
Cortlandt's body, it seemed, had been found about daylight by a Spiggoty policeman, who had identified it. Becoming panic-stricken at the importance of his discovery, he had sounded the alarm, then reported directly to the Governor, whose house was close by. It was General Alfarez himself who had informed Mrs. Cortlandt over the telephone of her husband's death.
