A Woman's Vengeance
, Late ono rninvnightntllio end ofSoptcm
bor, 1874, threo men sat, in tho backroom of
a Spanish enfo on Frcilcrick street, l'ort-au
Spain, speaking earnestly over liic.il: clioco'
latb oaiil cigarettes,. With one exception the
placo tyas deserted by all custemcrs but
themselves.
That exception was a handsome, slender
boy, shabbily dressed, who lay, to all appear
nuccs, asleep, on a bench in pno corner.
Tho proprietor of tho cafe himself was Im
dubitably sound asleep behind tho littlo
cpunler, as his stentorious snores attested
and tho threo wakeful customers spoko loud
,cr and with moro freedom than they would
ItaVo dono had they been suspicious of ob
scrvation.
" I tell you, Veramcndc," said ono, "it is
next to impossible) lo get off without tho
knowledge of ono of their, spies."
" And I tell you, Mnyorga, that I will
stako my life on doing it."
" You risk that anyway, for if Macliailo
Cicr finds liiswifo'alovcrin his hands rgain
l.o will not let him go a.cecond time."
"All right. .. I will risk that, for I havo
determined noxcrlobo'capturcd alive. How
ever, listen. Al nightfall to-morrow take a
boat, which you wil nnd at tho landing
stairs of tho quay. TI10 boatman will un
derstand what to do, and it will not be
lieccssary for.you to speak. Within half an
hour after you. embark you will bo on tho
deck of La Gaviata, under sail for Venezuela
and a revolution that will cither ruin us or
make our fortunes."
" Tho first fate i3 moro, likely lo bo ours,"
answered JIayorga gloomily, "but wo havo
undertaken Iho business, nnd must keep pur
words i ns for me, I'm going to bed now."
" And I."
" And I must seo our captain again."
As Voramcndo spoke ho dragged his heavy
cloak over his shoulder, threw n shilling 011
the counter for his share of tho reckoning,
and passed out, closely followed by his com
panions. Tho heavy door had scarcely
closed behind them When tho apparently
unconscious boy on the bench sprang to his
feet.
"You go to your doom," ho hissed, shak
ing a clenched, hand, whilo nnd fino as a
Woman's after the departing figures. "You
go to your doom, Ernesto Veramende, it tho
woman you wronged, and then spurned, can
send you there. Oh, you scoundrel, I would
givo ever day of my lifo after I seo you die
in pain to know what I havo learned to
night. You abandoned mo for Jlachado's
wife; Maclnulo shall have his revengo lit
last."
Tho Elcndcr llguioof the dirguifod woman
trembled with rage, but, commanding her
self w ith a violent effort, sho throw a rubber
cloth poncho over her shoulders nud Went
out.
Tho night was n wild ono, and the rain
swept down tho narrow sttect in heavy, fit
ful, gusts, tearing shutters and jalousies open,
and dragging signs from their fastenings
pvcrywherc. Tho spy faced all theso perils
fearlessly, however, pressing forward in the
very teeth ofthehowlinggalo aerobian open
snuaro to tho barred doorway of tho Trini
dad Club House, where she knocked heavily.
The door was instantly opened by a negro
servant, who recognized tho spy at once, and
withdraw asido to admit her,
Without n word sho passed him, and hur
ried into one of tho small private rooms de
voted lo mqmbcra of tho club. A tall, dark-
featured, handsome man sat at a table writ
ing. As Ehe entered, ho looked up with an
exclamation of pleasure. ,
" Couchita I" ho said. "So you havo come
at last."
" Yes."
tn n quick whisper, ns if sho feared that
even the walls might hear her, tho spy pro
ceeded to relate her discoveries of tho night.
An nnnod expedition was to leavo Ioi l-au-
Spain within Iwentyrfour hours, , bound for
tho Oriuooo river. Tho intention of tho con
spiratore was to inaugurate a revolution in
Angostura, scizo and executo President
Slachado, and proclaim a new ruler.
As tho Vcnczulean Consul listened lo this
revelation, his face darkened into a bitter
frown.
" Tho thing must ba stopped," ho said.
"Who is ot the head ofilt"
" Krnosto Veramende."
"Carracho! Ho is a fool to jenturo in
such a plot. If JIachado lays hands 011
him, he is worso than a dead man."
Couchitaj's, yes glislno al tho words, ,
" W hot do you propose .to, do ?" sho nskod.
' Let them go, but send word.Ufpro tho.m
and havo them peized in the, apt. , God help
them 1 Machado has not been nicknamed
tho butcher for nothing."
" Who will you send to inform him?"
" I don't know. I must think."
" That is not necessary. I will go."
"You!"
" Yos, and this very night. Givo mo your
steam launch nnd two men, and before two
days JIachado shall know all."
" Caramba 1 Yotl nro a bravo girl," said
the Consul, admiringly. "Do you moan it!"
" Yea."
The few words which followed perfected
the arrangement. As the clock atntok
tuclve a team launch puffed up to the quay,
ov r whu h tho tlTm-hHied waes of tho
bay broke in heavy sheets of spiiy, nnd took
on board CElighl; Cguro wrapped in a cloak.
Before mornlng'tho littlo.raflj had weather
ed tho rocks of Tunta ricdna,ond was cross
ing tho bar of Iho Jlacarco river. In an
other twentyfour hours Iho President of
Spanish G.uayara was 111 possession of all the
facl? of tho contemplated revolution, and
prepared to defeat it.
Four days passed quietly. On tho fifth,
at an early daylight, an innocent-looking
schooner caino to an anchor off tho city of
Angostura, and several jieoplo camo ashoro
iu a small boat. Later tv canoo containing
four or fivo moro landed. Directly tl)Cso
jieoplo reached tho shoro they separated, dis
appearing into tho different narrow streets of
tho town.
At noon that day quito a crowd collected
in the plaza between tho President's houso
and tho halls of tho Legislature. As Presi
dent JIachado appeared with his, guard a
single shot was fired from, this, group. Be
fore this evidently preconcerted signal was
obeyed, a deafening , roar , 0 cannon arid
musketry broko out on oycry housetop about
tho plaza i from 0vcry window and every
doorway cwarmed soldiers, . Tho largo win
dows iu fho cathedral, wcro planted vjifh
camion, and on all sides a death-dealing
fusilade was poured,, into thq ranks of tho
conspirators, which melted away liko snow.
Then an order lo charge was gi.ren( and
tho Iroopscloscd in about tho revolutionists.
Finding themselves surrounded, they fought
liko devils, but in vain. ,, After a furious
struggle, Euch ns survived Veramende
ninong thq )iumbcr lay heavily ironed in
Iho common jail. ,, ,
That night Veramende was aroused from
a fitful dozo by, tjio noiso of tho opening of
ins dungeon door.
"What Is it?" ho asked 1
Tho door swung heavily open and a file
of soldiers appeared,
" Yoaarp wanted," said tho sergeant,
"llywhom,?" , , , ,
"You will find that out Eooncr than you
desire. Seize, him." ,
Two men caught up tho shackled form of
the conspirator and dragged it into tho corri
dor. Incensed at such rough treatment,
Veramende offered Bomo resistance, nnd ono
of tho soldiers was about to elriko him,
when tho sergeant inlerfcrrod.
" Lay no hand on him," he slid t "ho will
bo punished in good timo." , h
In the guard-room, whither ho was con
ducted, on an clovatcd scat, tho gigantic fig
ure of President JIachado was perched, Be
sido him on 011s tide, was his wifo; on tho
other a handsome, slender boy.
" It is the prisoner, Senor," Iho sergeant
said. . ;
'"Ti? well. Release him ; but starid
ready for any resistance ho may offer, On
your lives, however, do him no bodily
harm." , ,
Veramondo'a blood chilled at tho dcibcr:
ate, deadly meaning iu tho speaker's voice.
What fnto was ho reserved for?
" Now, then, repeat the charges."
The boy beside tho President roso as ho
rpoko, and faced tho prisoner.
." Do you know mo ?" hp asked.
" Know you ?" said Veramende. "No'l"
, ' You shouli. You knew mo well enough
When you seduced 1110. You will know 1110
better still."
" Great God I It is Couchita JIartinez.
" It was. It your Nemesis. Listen,
Emqslo Veramendo. When you cast me off
lor a new love, I sworo lo bo avenged. I
followed you everywhere. I was in all your
secrccts. It is I who havo ushered you to
your doom, "x , ,, , - .
Sho sat down, and tho President, without
rising instantly took the word.
" Threo years ago," ho said, "I learned
that my bed was being dishonored by a man
who owed nio all his prosperity in life. At
first I refused to beliovo tub report, but proof
becamo so strong at last that I sworo to kill
him. Ho escaped mo then, but has been
fool enough to put himself in my hands,
itco lo faeo with tho victim he seduccd.with
tho wifo ho prostituted, and tho husband ho
betrayed and dishonored, ho shall meet his
punishment. Chingo JIachado has not
been called (ho butcher In vain." ,
Veramende had cowered lower and lower,
until, at the lift words, lie Mink in a heap
on tho Elono floor. Ho did not bog, for
mercy, for in tho steely eyes of his judgo lie
read tho uselessneas of such an attempt.
"Call the Eurgcon," tho President said.
A moment later tho Jimp form of tho pris
oner was raised and etretched npon a table.
His irons wcrp knocked off nud his feet nnd
arms firmly secured to Iho, legs of tho table.
Ho felt it all like a man iu u dream ; terror
had stunnod him.
All at once, however, ho saw something
that galvanised him into lifo with a terrible,,
shriek. A man, whom lie rnnguiiwl 04 Ihq
leading surgeon of Angpeturo, approached
the table, with his case of directing instru
ments under hit arm.
"GreqtGod! what nro you going to do
with met" ehriokod the prisoner.
"Go on with your work," commanded ,
the President, sternly. I
In a moment the hands of the soldiers had
torn the clothing from Venmwixie's )lv.
The turgeon baut over his naked and de
fence! laxly, knife in hand. Machado
and Couchita c.ed hini imm-iabl-. Tha
rrcudeni s wife buru-i hci fa. "i hi fctud-
nnd groaned ! "Sparo him I spare himt '
" Go on with your work 1"
Tho knifodcccndcd, nnd a piercing shriek
echoed through the vaulted room, Another
nnd another followed as Iho keen hlado pene
trated tho victim's quit cring flesh.
" Memy 1 merry I"
" Go on."
Tho work continued. Jlember nftcr mem
ber fell to tho floor,, nnd the blood .paltered
on Uic,iloor in a conont 4foaii). Tho sur
9on's figure was besjneared with it, nnd ho
faltered; but tjio stern vpicoof "Tho Butch
er" warned hm Iq go qn, until the mangletl
trunk of tho miserablo victim alone remain
ed. Veramende was, yet nlivc, liut his agony
enly found vent now in a hollow, awful
groan. . , , . , ,
''Now then! . His heart I',',. tt i.n,ii
A cry of horror escaped oven tho brutal
soldiers, and Madam JIachado fell fainting
at her husbands feet. Tho.Prcsident rose,
Ids eycsimmovably.,uxcd qn.lho dissecting
table. Couchita leaped , forward, with tho
glaro of madness in her fierce eyes.,
Thero was a second,1!! pause, and then a.
shriek so wld and piercing that it soundo
superhuman, escaped the tortured form
upon the table., The knifp . descended for
tho last time, and a gory heart, torn from
Vcramando's bosom, fell at tho President's
feet. , . , ,
"It is well," ho said, spurning tho still
quivering flesh from him. "Sweep that
carrion to the buzzards. Sec tho Senora
,Jfachado is taken back to tho, nursery at
once. Look to tho girl hero. Sho is ill." ,
III indeed. Couchita hod fallen back ,in
her chair with glazing, eyes, Her spirit had
taken flight with her accomplished revengo.
Sho was dead. .

Tho truths of science and progressiva
thought have always been compelled tobaU
tcr down tho bulwarks of prejqdico and .dis
belief, or remain forever unknown. Why
is it that people aro so reluctant, Jo .receive
facta that relate directly to tho phenomena
of their own. existence? Astronomers, upon
discovering a star, assign it a placo at onco,
and it is forever fixed. Thorulo by which
a mathematical problem is, onco solved be
comes forever an axiom ; but no matter how
clearly tho prenciplcs which govern health
and sickness be .demonstrated, some refuse
to believe. Dr. Pierce's Family Medicines,
which aro now so generally- used, and dor
servedly popular, were, in their early days,
very reluctantly received by tho people.
To-day, Dr. .tierce's Golden Alodical dis
covery lias outrivaled tho old-timo sarsa;
parillas, his Pellets in general use, in place
of the Coarse, huge, drastic pills formerly sd
much employed', whilo the Bales of his Dn
Sage's Catarrh llemcdy and- his Favorite
Prescription aro enormous. Where the skin
is snllow and covered with blotches and
pimples, or where there nro scrofulous swel
lings and affections, a few bottles of his GoK
den Medical Discovery will effect an entire
cure. If you feel dull, drowsy, debilitated,
have sallow color of skin, or yollowish-brown
mt 011 fnco or body, frequent headacho or
dizziness, bad taste in mouth, internal heat
or chills alternated with hot flushes, low
spirits and gloomy forebodings, irregular ap
petite, and tongue coated, you aro suffering
horn Torpid Liver, or " Bilimumca." In
many cases of " iiVcr Complaint'' only part
of theso symptoms, aro experienced. As a
remedy for all uch cases; Dr. Pierce's Gol
den Jicdical Discovery has no equal, as it
effects perfect cures; leaving the liver
strengthened and healthy. Debilitated fe
males who have undergouo all the tortures
of caustic and tho kiiifo, nnd yet suffer with
thoso peculiar dropping-dovn sensations and
weaknesses, catt have guaranteed to them
prompt nnd po6itivo relief by using Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription; whilo con
stipation and torpid liver, or "biliousness,"
aro promptly relieved by tho Pleasant Pur
gative Pellets, gold by all druggists.
