Some years since Sir Henry Englefield, Bart., obtained a premium from the Society of Arts for the discovery of a fine tint drawn from Madder, called the Adrianople red. It was found that it was to be obtained from a variety of the Rubia brought from Smyrna; and Mr. Smyth, our consul at that city, was prevailed on by Dr.
"Man! Let's get in until the rain stops." "Impossible." "Why? Are Rubia and Chata inside?" "What do you care if they are?" "Shall we give those hayseeds a scare?" asked one of the ragamuffins, whose ears were covered by long black locks. "Just try it and see," growled Cojo, seizing a rock. "Come on to the Observatory," said another. "We won't get wet there."

Then at last his defection unmistakable turned on him with furious demands for the truth. Felipe had snatched occasion with one hand and courage with the other. "Well," he had said, "well, it is not my fault. Yes, it is the truth. It is played out." He had not thought it necessary to speak of Buelna; but Rubia divined the other woman. "So you think you are to throw me aside like that.
Well, he answers to me for the dishonour." "Wait. Stop!" interposed Felipe. "Your name, senor." "Unzar Ytuerate, and my enemy is called Arillaga. Him I seek and " "Then you shall seek no farther!" shouted Felipe. "It is to Rubia Ytuerate, your sister, whom I owe all my unhappiness, all my suffering. She has hurt not me only, but one but Mother of God, we waste words!" he cried.
It was you who drove me to this quarrel, and when I have vindicated you what do you do? Your brother you leave to be tended by hirelings, while all your thought and care are lavished on your paramour. Go back to him. I know how to die alone, but as you go remember that in dying I hated and disowned you." He fell back upon the pillows, livid, dead. Rubia started forward with a cry.

They made their way to Cojo's cave; El Mariane proposed that as a punishment for his not having let them go in the day before, they should pile a heap of grass before the entrance to the cave and set fire to the place. "No, man, that's monstrous," objected El Canco. "The fellow hires out his cave to Rubia and Chata, who hang around here and have customers in the barracks.

Could it be possible he had ever forgotten her for such a one as Rubia have been unfaithful to this dear girl for so much as the smallest fraction of a minute? "You are welcome, Felipe," she said. "Oh, very, very welcome."
Kiss him, Buelna, and have done with it." Felipe gnawed his nails. "Believe me, oh, believe me, Senor Martiarena, it must not be." "Then an explanation." For a moment Felipe hesitated. But how could he tell them the truth the truth that involved Rubia and his disloyalty, temporary though that was. They could neither understand nor forgive. Here, indeed, was an impasse.
