"Do you see?" said Bruno, with indignation, to his brother, "if you had taken my advice to-day, we would have had one hundred pesos. On your account we are without a cuarto." Tarsilo did not reply, but, with wide-open eyes, looked around him as if in search of some one. "There he is talking with Pedro," added Bruno. "He is giving him money what a lot of money!"
He had to go down head first and remain under the water some time just like a bucket, except that a man is left under the water a longer time. The alferez went to look for a watch that he might count the minutes. In the meantime, Tarsilo was hanging, his long hair waving in the air and his eyes half closed.
And this split scale above this wide one, and this double one?" Tarsilo did not hear him, but went on examining the cock. The clinking of gold and silver came to his ears. "Now let's look at the bulik," he said in a thick voice. Bruno stamped on the ground and gnashed his teeth, but obeyed. They approached another group where a cock was being prepared for the ring.
Haven't they told you that Don Crisostomo is the leader? Didn't you see him walking with the Captain-General? What risk do we run?" "And if we get killed?" "What's the difference? Our father was flogged to death!" "You're right!" The brothers now sought for Lucas in the different groups. As soon as they saw him Tarsilo stopped. "No! Let's get out of here!
A gaff was selected, red silk thread for tying it on was waxed and rubbed thoroughly. Tarsilo took in the creature with a gloomily impressive gaze, as if he were not looking at the bird so much as at something in the future. He rubbed his hand across his forehead and said to his brother in a stifled voice, "Are you ready?" "I? Long ago! Without looking at them!" "But, our poor sister " "Abá!
"Do you know this man?" asked Father Salví. "This is the first time I have ever seen him," replied Tarsilo, looking with a certain pity on the other. The alferez gave him a cuff with his fist and kicked him. "Tie him to the bench!" Without taking off the bloody handcuffs, he was fastened to the wooden bench.
He saw the dead body of Pedro, with two others; one, his own brother, riddled with bayonet wounds, and the other, Lucas, with the rope still around his neck. His look became gloomy and a sigh seemed to escape from his breast. "Do you know them?" they asked him. Tarsilo remained silent. There was a whistling sound and the whip came down across his back. He trembled, and his muscles contracted.
"He's a rogue," observed the alferez to the curate. "He tried to run, but he was wounded in the thigh. These are the only two that we took alive." "What's your name?" the alferez asked Tarsilo. "Tarsilo Alasigan." "What did Don Crisostomo promise you for attacking the barracks?" "Don Crisostomo never had anything to do with us." "Don't deny it! That's why you tried to surprise us."
They approached Lucas. The latter saw them coming and smiled. "Eh! there!" said Tarsilo. "What is it?" "How much do you give?" asked the two brothers. "I have already told you. If you want to find some others to help us surprise the cuartel, I will give you thirty pesos apiece, and ten pesos for each companion you get.
Lucas scratched his head, pulled at his camisa, and replied, "Yes, I know you. You are Tarsilo and Bruno, both young and strong. I know that your brave father died as a result of the hundred lashes a day those soldiers gave him. I know that you don't think of revenging him." "Don't meddle in our affairs!" broke in Tarsilo, the elder. "That might lead to trouble.
