Then he rose, and as he came out of the pew a newly-married couple passed him, the architect, Herrera, and Isabella Coello, radiant in beauty. Ulrich clenched his fist, and the thought passed through his mind, that he would cast away good-fortune, art and fame as carelessly as soap-bubbles, if he could be in Herrera's place. What fame is Ulrich was to learn!

Philip left the studio, the court-artist accompanying him to the door. When he returned, the unhappy youth was still standing in the same place, gazing, panting for breath, at his condemned work. "Poor fellow!" said Coello, compassionately, approaching him; but Ulrich interrupted, gasping in broken accents: "And you, you? Your verdict!"

Instead of turning the ungrateful rascal out of the house, he, the dunce, had given him hopes of becoming her poor, dazzled, innocent daughter's husband. During the ensuing weeks, Senora Petra prepared Coello many bad days and still worse nights; but the painter persisted in his resolution to give Isabella to Ulrich, if in a year and a half he returned from Italy a skilful artist.

He who paints such Madonnas should drop his colors! His place is the stable among refractory horses." Coello could make no reply, but the king, glancing at the picture again, cried wrathfully: "A Christian's work, a Christian's!

During this storm, they parted company with Nicholas Coello, but rejoined the next night after.

This billet in a female hand Heaven and earth Calderon! What name is this? Beatriz Coello! Darest thou have crossed my path? Speak, sir! speak!" "Your highness," said Calderon, with a mixture of respect and dignity in his manner "your highness, hear me. My first benefactor, my beloved pupil, my earliest patron, was the same Don Martin Fonseca who seeks this girl with an honest love.

He gave likewise to the king a diamond as big as a large bean, and many other jewels; and two Persian horses of wonderful swiftness. Francisco de Albuquerque and Nicholas Coello, who left Cananor some time after Alonso, were cast away on the voyage and never more heard of. Pedro de Tayde was driven to Quiloa, where his ship was lost on the bar and most of his men drowned.

"What other can disclose, even on earth, such a glimpse of the joys of Paradise." When he left Sophonisba, he felt as if he were intoxicated. What still detained him in Madrid? Moor's zechins were not yet exhausted, and he was sure of the assistance of the "word" upon the sacred soil of Italy. He unfolded his plan to Coello without delay, at first modestly, then firmly and defiantly.

While we were melting more frozen snow and re-making the tea, we warmed up some pea soup and Irish stew. Tucker and I managed to eat a little. Coello and Gamarra had no stomachs for anything but tea. We decided to leave the Tucker tent at the 20,000 foot level, together with most of our outfit and provisions. From here to the top we were to carry only such things as were absolutely necessary.

The enemies perceiving our fleet approaching, fled towards the shore; but one of their rudders breaking, the men belonging to that ship escaped in their boats, and Coello immediately took possession, expecting to find it laden with rich commodities. Nothing was found however, except cocoa-nuts and a kind of sugar called melasus, which is prepared from palms or date trees.
