"I will protect myself in whatever way I can," said Dona Perfecta resignedly, clasping her hands. "God's will be done!" "Such a stir about nothing! By the Lord! In this house they are all afraid of their shadows," exclaimed Caballuco, half seriously, half jestingly. "One would think this Don Pepito was a legion of devils. Don't be frightened, senora.

As I take such an interest in you, last night, seeing Don Pepito having the hotel while I was there, I followed him " "And where did you go?" "To the Casino; yes, senora, to the Casino," responded the other, with some confusion. "Afterward he went back to his hotel. And how my uncle scolded me because I remained out so late, playing the spy in that way!

Surprised at this apparently uncalled-for act of caution, I inquired the reason. ''Do you not see Mr. Percival? she exclaimed, in Spanish. ''Who is he? Is that the man you said you dreaded? that melancholy-looking man, who is walking so moodily ahead of us? exclaimed Pepito. 'I must have a good look at him. ''Be cautious, I beseech you; if he sees me, all is lost.

''What! you here, General? I exclaimed. ''Why not? was the cool reply, 'I am in search of a deserter named Pepito, who, I was informed, was concealed here. I see he is not here; but doubtless by searching among the papers contained in this desk, I shall find some clue to him. ''Your search, General, will be fruitless.

''A man one man and he seeks your life; well, well, I should like to meet him face to face, exclaimed Pepito. ''Then, Señor, you promise to protect me at any risk? ''Protect you! yes, replied he with vehemence, 'I pledge you my honor, my body, and my soul. I will face the bravest of the brave, to defend you from injury. ''From my heart of hearts I thank you, Pepito, said Mr.

If we do not at once steal a march on him, then farewell forever to all our dreams of happiness, of wealth, or even of subsistence. ''Sir, said she, again addressing me; 'your honor alone has kept you in ignorance of our secret. You could easily have tempted and corrupted Pepito. We prefer you should learn it from us rather than from an accidental source.

'So saying, Pepito arose, took his traveling sword under his arm, placed his hat jauntily on his head, cast an admiring eye at the looking-glass, and then brushed off some of the dust that still clung to his left sleeve. ''The smile of Heaven abide with you, Señor, said he, with a most graceful bow. 'As for your friend's secret, do not be uneasy about it; I am not going to meet Pedro to-night.

Then he bowed to the bull. Then he bowed to Pepito. While he was bowing to Pepito's assistant the bull started to rush at him from behind. "Look out! Look out! The bull! You will be killed!" yelled the crowd. But the Doctor calmly finished his bow. Then turning round he folded his arms, fixed the on-rushing bull with his eye and frowned a terrible frown.

'After his friend's departure, Pepito sat silent; his brow was knit, and yet a mocking sneer played around his lips; he seemed to be pursuing two trains of thought at once; suspicion and merriment were clearly working in his mind. ''This is a droll affair, Caballero; I can't clearly see the bottom of it'

Pepito sprang forward and called to Don Enrique not to allow it, saying it was against all the rules of bullfighting. Polynesia chuckled into my ear. "It's like the Doctor's navigation: he breaks all the rules; but he gets there. Half the people seemed to be on Pepito's side and half on the Doctor's side.
