All the other military men that they met, no matter how many bands and crosses they displayed, appeared to the doting father mere embusques, unworthy of comparison with his Julio. . . . The wounded men who got out of the coaches by the aid of staffs and crutches inspired him with the greatest pity. Poor fellows! . . . They did not bear the charmed life of his son.
She no longer evinced toward Julio the resistance of the first few days. Her training as a nurse was giving her a certain passivity. She seemed to be ignoring material attractions, stripping them of the spiritual importance which she had hitherto attributed to them. She wanted to make Julio happy, although her mind was concentrated on other matters.
He was captured last March, while severely wounded. There is a rumor that Gen. Julio Sanguilly has gone over to the Spanish cause and offered his services to General Blanco. It is impossible as yet to learn the truth of this rumor. The General, over his own signature, indignantly denies it, and begs his friends to deny it for him.
"Why, some day, yes!" replied Miss Dandridge. "When you've swum the Hellespont like Leander, or picked a glove out of the lion's den like the French knight, or battered down a haunted castle like Rinaldo, or taken the ring from a murderer's hand like Onofrio, or set free the Magician's daughter like Julio perhaps perhaps " "I must cast about to win my spurs!" said the younger Cary.
Kitty did pretty much as she liked at home, as regards being in or out, so all she would need to tell her people was that she was going to be with me that evening." "Well, I arranged it with Julio. He was a mischievous little rascal, and it looked like a good joke to him; and a couple of dollars was good pay for a joke. When the evening came, I called for Kitty about six o'clock.
Old Julio is a Spaniard at heart; Chiquito is a Cuban bird; his very soul do you doubt that a bird has a soul, when I tell you that I have seen it in his eyes, Marguerite? his very soul speaks for his country. If you could hear him cry, "Viva Cuba Libre!" The camp is on fire when they hear him.
This very day all will be over with me. Before I had sufficiently recovered from the shock to think of seizing Julio, he had disappeared. Probably, to-day " "Heavens!" exclaimed Simon Turchi, "I hear Miss Van de Werve." "For the love of God, not a word in her presence," said Mr. Van de Werve. Mary entered the room, looking around anxiously.
I was partly the cause of your bitter sufferings: I pushed you into the chair; I intended to kill you, the deliverer of my blind mother! Take pity on me! Let not your just malediction follow my poor soul into eternity. Pardon me, signor, pardon!" "Speak not thus, Julio. But for you, that yawning grave would now cover my corpse. Shall I refuse pardon to you who spared my life?
Julio had sought in drink the courage necessary to accomplish the work which fate exacted of him. He had thus drowned his senses, and had come now to slay his victim without mercy. The thought for the moment roused his fears; but he remembered that he had just offered to God his life in expiation of his sins.
Make haste, and possibly you may find me here. In all events I will wait for you this evening at the factory, and besides the two crowns, I will give you a whole bottle of Malmsey." "Agreed," said Julio; "I will do my best to please you." He descended the staircase, and when he reached the room where the horrible murder had been committed, he stood for a moment with his arms folded.
