Perhaps water, taken in large quantities, might deaden the effects of the poison and save Julio's life. At any rate, he had no other remedy, and as it was his only hope, he grasped at it as if it were an inspiration from heaven. Filling a pitcher, he ran with it to the cellar, and radiant with joy, approached Julio, who had barely strength to ask in a feeble voice: "Is the priest coming?
I have already exhausted myself; but the new spring is good, and in a few minutes I will have finished." Bernardo examined attentively the unfinished chair, and looked frightened.

"I do not wish to lecture you; but you have an unfortunate and aged mother who requires your aid.

Take pity on me! For the love of God, deliver me from this torture!" "Poisoned!" exclaimed Geronimo, hastening to Julio. "What has happened to you? The mark of death is on your face!" "Simon Turchi gave me last night poisoned wine, in order to destroy the witness who could prove your death by his hand. He made me pay Bufferio to assassinate you.
Darlés veered to the left, and ran up the grade of the Calle Siete de Julio with the speed of a hare. Some one threw a chair at him, from a doorway. It hardly grazed him, but tripped up his nearest pursuers. When the human hunting-pack, raging and giving tongue, rushed in under the archways of the Plaza Mayor, its menacing tumult echoed louder than ever: "Thief, thief! Stop thief!"
Garcilasso de la Vega and Juan de Saavedra were made captains of horse; and Juan Julio de Hojeda, Thomas Vasquez, Antonio de Quinnones, and another whose name I have forgot, were made captains of foot. So diligently did these officers apply themselves to raise men, that in five days Juan Julio de Hojeda marched into the city accompanied by three hundred soldiers well armed and appointed.
