Then he began to talk at the rate of fifty words to the second; like the rattle of a ticker in a panic: of Alvarez, the saviour of his country his friend! his partner; of the future of Moccador under his wise and beneficent influence, the Lighthouse being one of the first improvements; of its being given to him to erect because of his loyalty to the cause, and to the part he had taken in overturning that despot, the Tyrant Paramba, who had ruled the republic with a rod of iron.
These would generally refer to the dissatisfaction felt by many of the Moccadorians over the present government, one editorial, as near as I could make out, going so far as to hint that a secret movement was on foot to oust the "Usurper" Alvarez and restore the old government under Paramba. No reference was ever made to the lighthouse.
Started life as a coolie boss in a copper mine, became manager and owner, built the bridge over the Quitos River and the railroad up the Andes; is the brightest man in Moccador and the brains of the Paramba Government. One part of his duty is to keep the people satisfied, and he does it every single time; another is to divide with Paramba every dollar he makes." "But the lighthouse!"
When Paramba came back to power he was tried for high treason and condemned to be shot. He saved his neck by turning over the lighthouse papers to Onativia. As to Carlos Onativia, he is a product of the soil.
Most of us who have opinions of our own have been away from San Juan some for years. San Juan has not been a healthy place for men who believe in Paramba." "And do you?" "Absolutely. So do thousands of our citizens." "You don't seem to agree with Senor Garlicho, then. He thought your former president, Paramba, a tyrant. As for President Alvarez, he looked upon him as the saviour of his country."
Now it was all over Paramba was living in the swamps, hunted like a dog. When he was caught and they expected it every day he would be brought to the capital, San Juan, in chains yes, Senor, in chains and put to work on the roads, so that everybody could spit upon him traitor! Beast, that he was! And there would be other lighthouses the whole coast was to be as light as day.
