aro delighted. "Bravo, torol" they cry.
Another horso falls dead, tho third is
wounded and led out, the fourth killed;
but the Spaniards aro not satisfied in
their lovo of blood. "Mas caballost mas

steps forward, takes tho sword and tho

I turn instinctively toward Juanita;

fanning herself, her half closed oyes
scarcely convoying ouy expression of In

hand la as steady as a rock.
Tho hull charges; I drew a quick
breath; Sobastian gracefully, with tho
case of a practiced bull lighter, escaped
tho horns, A cheer rings out from tho
crowd, bringing a sudden flush to his
cheek.
Again tho bull charges, again and
again; caoh time Sebastian is unseat hod,
but as yet he lias lutd no chanco of kill
