" Ho 1" murmured she, with joy mixed, with fright, ""lrc!=1\liguel!" And she sank down upon the chair she had just quitted. "What ails you, Carmen ?" asked Rainon Moreno. "Are you ill?" "Why did you deceive me?" cried the young wife. "Why did you assure me ho was dead?

Well, Miguel -is not dead, since there he stands 1" And her -glance shot toward the stranger. Don' Ramon had no time to answer, for Miguel had quitted his place and was ad- vancing with a calm but resolute air. When he reached them he said, bowing re- spectfully to Carmen : "Madame, will you do me the honor to dance with me ?" She grew faint and put up' her hand to her heart as if to restrain its throbs ; then realizing that all eyes were fixed ,upon her and feeling her husband's arm tremble, but resolved `to have an immediate explanation with Miguel, she demanded of him accord- ing to the usage : "How much do you offer ?" • "A thousand piastres," replied he. "It is I, Senor, who will have the pleas- ure of dancing with my wife," replied Don Ramon, "and 1 do not believe I shall pay too much for that pleasure by giving to the poor two thousand piastres." "And I will give ten thousand," coldly -resumed Miguel. A sudden rage took possession of Don Ramon Moreno's heart. "You are .making this a personal affair,senor!" cried he. " So be it 1 I will give twenty thousand!" " A hundred thousand 1" said the impas- sible voice'of Miguel. The spectators could not repress a mur- mur of approbation. Don Ramon realised that by persisting further he would render himself ridiculous. Besides he was there and would not lose eight of his adyersary. What danger could there be in letting him dance with Carmen ? It was upon another field that he counted on taking his revenge. Hence he strove to compose his features and said in the most amiable tone he could assume "Indeed, senor, I should with ill grace deprive you of a satisfaction which flatters as ,muck a%It hMrigrs me.._ Your peraistenot would prove to-mie, were 1 not already aware of it, what value I should attach to the possession of a wife whom a cavalier - so perfect esteem sufficiently to pay a hundred thousand piastres for the mere favor of dancing with her!" Miguel drew a checkbook from his pocket filled up a cheek for a hundred thousand piastres, tore it out and handed it to one of the commissaries of the fete; then he offer- ed his arm to Carmen. During this colloquy the young woman had not made a movement. Faint, half dead, she nevertheless ha& the strength to arise and follow her cavalier. Miguel en- circled her waist with his atroug arm and the waltz bore them away in its whirl. "Ah 1 madame," nlurrnured the young man in Carmen's ear, "not only a hundred thousaud piastres, but all rey fortune, the millions I have amassed in order to lay them at your feet, my very life which henceforth has no charm for me would I have given for this moment! Not that I new attach the slightest value to the honor of dancing with you, but because I want to tell you that I despise you!" "Have mercy!" whispered Carmen, whose heart blend beneath the insult. "There is no mercy for a perjurer! Yen promised to. wait for me, to remain faithful to me until death,. and you have broken your baths!" "But, Miguel, you do not know—" "I know but wove thing, Carmen—that you are the wife of another and lost to ins. I am devoured by jealousy and wish to avenge myself 1" and demand your hand.
