I was going north on a south-bound track I ran ahead of orders. I really do congratulate you, old man; Miss Garavel is well, I won't try to do her justice I had no idea. Please pardon me." "Certainly! Now that it's settled I'm not going to let any grass grow under my feet." "Why, say! Garavel is to be the next President! Jove! You ARE lucky!
"Of course not." "I understand you have not spoken of this marriage. Perhaps you might consent to remain silent. If by any chance you should be convicted of guilt, what satisfaction could you derive from injuring me and mine?" "None at all, sir." "I am rich," Garavel went on, meaningly. "If you are acquitted, I might, perhaps, arrange amply for your future upon conditions."
"Oh, I am sorry I ever entertained the proposal. To be defeated now would do me immeasurable harm, not only in my pride, but in my business affairs. My affiliations with the government are of the closest they must be, for me to live. To be a candidate, to make the fight, and to be beaten! What consideration will come to the firm of Garavel Hermanos, think you?"
Sincerely and respectfully, your friend, ANDRES GARAVEL. A sense of betrayal crept over him as he read. What the letter signified, beyond the fact that Mr. Garavel had changed his mind, he could not make out, and he resolved to go at once and demand an explanation.
Alfarez swelled pompously. "I 'ave many responsibilities." "It brings you very close to the Chief Executive, no doubt." "I 'ave indeed the honor to be his intimate!" "He's the tallest negro I ever saw," Kirk said, simply, at which the haughty Ramon seemed about to explode, and Miss Garavel quite shamelessly giggled. "That is funny," she exclaimed. "But you must not tease Ramon.
"Miss Garavel!" his wife echoed. "Thank Heaven you came!" "Quick, the music will stop! Judge, this is Miss Garavel you must marry us just as fast as you can." "I presume you consent?" the judge asked, with a smile at the girl. "I I want to be happy," she said, simply. Her bosom was heaving, her pansy eyes were fastened upon the magistrate with a look of pleading that drove the smile from his lips.
Perhaps the Colombian boundary can be settled. There also our influence might avail. Those two steps forward would make the name of Garavel as famous in Panama as it is in Guatemala." "Those are important issues for any loyal Panamanian," he admitted. "And you love your daughter you say your life is, hers. Your honor would be hers also.
As he filled in the allotted spaces, she said, in a low voice, "You are the boldest person! Did Mr. Garavel give you leave to do that, or " "Of course! Thank you." He made his way out of the press that had gathered and toward the open air. He was shaking with nervousness and cursed all government hotels where a man is denied the solace of a drink. Runnels pounced upon him just outside.
You are fickle, senor-or is it that you prefer dark people?" "I was looking for you. I thought it was you behind those curtains all the time." He began a flurried defence of his recent outrageous behavior, to which Miss Garavel endeavored to listen with distant composure.
As it is, the General withdraws and leaves the field clear, the two young people are reunited, quite as if you had never appeared, and you My dear Kirk, now what about you?" "Oh, I don't count. I never have counted in anything, you know. That's the trouble with good-natured people. But is it true that Garavel is practically elected?"
