STRANOE ROMANCE OF
MEXICAN MAID.

to Die with Hltu.
By tho green banks of tho river Ya
qui is a gravo baked and parched by
tho pitiless Mexican sun that dickers
mockingly over tho rough board that
marks the spot. Crimson letters traced
In warm llfeblood straggle over the
headstone. Alfredo and Lola arc the
two names 'that show darkly red above
a month-old date. In the town of Her-
raosillo, Mcxlco.thcy arc saying masses
for tho souls of theso two who Ho to
gether In death. There is wnlling in
tho city of .Mexico; thero is weeping
in tho Mexican colony In San Francis
co. Tho stpry of Alfredo 1'adllla and
Lola Alvcrcz is told und retold, punc
tuated with sighs and vain regrets. It
is a Btrongo tale this, n story that be
gins in tho foothills of tho stato ot
Conora, thence to convent walls in
San Francisco, finally to death where
rolls tho Yaqul river. Like a romanco
of long ago, Hko n tragedy of the yes
teryears, Is this story of tho short llfo
and sudden death of Lieut. Padllla and
Lola Alvarez.
Those two who now sleep tho sleep
that knows no wnklng, lived In neigh
boring houses In Hermosllloj they
wero sweetheart and lover loving
each other with that mad Infatuation
which Mexicans show. The father ot
Lola forbade her to rcceivo tho hand
somo Alfredo's attentions. Hut she
mnnnged to do qulto well In this direc
tion, for sho had ,hor younger sator,
Gabrlolla, also a beautiful scnorlta, to
help her. Scnor Alvarez suspected
that his daughters were not obeying
his commands, and he sent them to a
convent in San Francisco. Lola and
Gabrlolla were not allowed outside tho
convent walls savo with a sober robed
sister. Dut Lola saw Alfredo, and
Baw him alone. Parents and tcachcra
are powerless when schoolmates brim
ful of whlto fibs range themselves on
tho Rldo of tho transgressor. Thero
camo a day of discovery, a wretched
hour of confession to tho calm-eyed
mother superior. A noto of Lola's
written to Alfredo carelessly dropped
In tho hall had glyen tho clow. An
elaborate schemo of elopement was
Ing never a trace ot combat. Tho
mor.ilug of tho fourth day they camo
upon h band of peons. "Twenty miles
distant aro 60ino dead Mexicans," said
the stolid peon. Hopo fluttered fierce
ly in Lola's heart. Gabrlella, palo and
drooping from fatigue and poor nour
ishment, rould scarcely climb to her
mule. Lola, with bright red Bpota
burning in either check, and wlde.star
Ing eyes, seemed dead to every feel
ing but the maddening dcslro to And
Alfredo.
Ileforo another sun had set they
found him, found his body lying stiff
nnd cold, while tho dying glory of a
Mexican sunset bathed tho woods In
opal splendor.

ruthlessly nipped In the bud nnd Scnor
Alvarez summoned. Ho took Lola and
Gabrlella back to Hermoslllo and for
bade his daughter to over again write
to Alfredo. Alfredo was now a lieu
tenant on tho staff of General Hernan
dez. Lola managed to correspond
with him.
The Yaqul uprising turned her fath
er's impatience at her refusnl into
other channels. Ho had property In
tho heart of tho Yaqul country that
needed his attention. In the little
town of Ortiz lived a brother of Senor
Alvarez. Thither ho went, taking Lola
and Gabrlella with him, fearful that
In his absence Lola might escape to her
lover in tho City of Mexico. Ortiz Is
Ju3t west of tho Yaqul Indian country,
a typical little Mexican town, with an
occasional fandango or cock fight to
vary dull monotony. Yet Lola sang
for Joy at tho vory thought of going
thero. Was not Col. Juan Hernandez
in tho Yaqul country, and was not her
Alfredo on tho staff of Col. Hernandez?
Scnor Alvarez was called to Torres on
business, leaving tho girls under tho
watchful eyes of undo and aunt.
Weeks passed, Lola suffering exquisite
torture, living in a delirium of Joy
and fear. Twice Alfredo camo to see
her on his way to deliver Important
papers and messages. Now hopo, now
despair claimed her for Us own.
Thoughts ot Alfredo's danger stran
gled peace.
Two days after Alfredo's departure
from his last clandestine visit to his
sweetheart, a frightened peon mysteri
ously beckoned Lola Into the garden.
A soldier awaited her. The Yaquls
had attackod Lieut. Padllla's part?.
Thero was a rumor that most of tiie
Uttlo band had been killed. If Lie it.
Alfredo was among them, had the sen
orlta any commands to give him? Tho
scnorlta had but one wish to go at
onco to Alfredo dead or alive. Sho did
not listen to his arguments, but flew to
tho house to mako ready for tho Jour
ney. Gabrlella begged and Implored In
vain. Then she, too, bundled a fow
necessaries and tiptoed to tho stable,
saddled the mules and, In tho twilight
hour the three rode off;
All the next day after that they rode,
Lola, refusing to rest even for a mo
ment. At last they reached the spot
that rumor had marked as the scene
of the conflict. Thero Was not a ves

2oged the steep mountain paths, find-

detachment was following, the Yaquls,
sninll In number nnd short of ammuni
tion, had fled without mutilating their
victims. Whllo thu soldier silently
dug n grave and burled his dead com
rades Lola tried to caress into life her
lover. From his appearance he had
evidently lived some time after being
wounded. Thero were marks down to
the river where ho had crawled for
water. Life nnd death had evidently
fought a hard and long battle.
All night Lola whispered the sweet
endearments of her language into His
deaf ears and kissed tho sightless
eyes. At tho first streak of dawn the
soldier dug another grave this ono for
the lieutenant. Lola was calm now
a strnngc unnatural calmness that
frightened Gabrlella. "Poor Gabriel

and again. Then sho staggered back
to her lover. She stretched her sup-'
pllcatlng nrms to pitying heaven an
though beseeching forgiveness. There
was a quick, sharp report and Lola lay
dying at her dead lover's side.
Ileforo her tired eyes closed forever
sho smiled Into Gabrlolla's horror
stricken face. "I am going with Al
fredo, ml vlda," sho said brokeuly. Sho
breathed another soft, sweet "adlos"
to Gabrlella. smiling all the while life
ebbed away. And even In death's icy
chill she looked at them with tho same
frozen smile. The soldier burled them
together nnd marked their names In
