EES “Some Cuban Justice. No Governor General of Cuba stands out so prominently in the hi+tory of the island as Don Miguel Tacon, who held the reins of Spanieh gov-roment there from 1834 to 1838 While acting in bie judicial capac ity Tacon rarely tempered justice with meres, but it ia sad he took a keen pleasure in coloring it, when- ever possible, with romance. And that brings me to the story. Iu Havana, in Tacon’s time, there was a beautiful young Creole girl, named Miralda Estalez. who kept a little cigar sbop. Mirslda was an orphan, haviug lost ber father and mother before sh- wes 16. Though she was paid corstant ate tention by her rich and gay young patrons, she never for a moment allowed ber head to be turned by their flatreries from Mantanez, the young boatman, who was her accept ed lover One of Miralda’s custo:aers was Count Almonte, the gayest cavalier in Havana. Ove day, finding her alone, he took the opportunity to declare his passion, beseechi: g her to go with bim to his magnific-nt mansion at Cerito, in the suburbs. Miralda bade bim never again insult her by entering her shop On the following afrernoon a file of soldiers halted at the door of the little cigar shop, and th+ Lieutenant, entering, ordered the frightened girl to follow him immediately “What for?” she asked. whose orders?” “The Governor General's ” Not daring to oppose such high authority, Miralda closed her shop and went - with the lieutenant She was not taken to prison, how- ever, but was conveyed to Almonte’s castle at Cerito. The Count, smiliog triumphantly, assured her that she would ba kept a prisoner until she acceded to his desires. What was the surprise of the lover Pedro, that evening, to find the little cigar shop closed and Miralda nowhere to be found. He discovered where the girl wag en fined Then to make eure that che was not there of her own free will, he disguised himself as a frixr, and suc ceeded in getting in and securing an interview with his inamorata Almonte was rich and powerful and Pedro was only a poor boa!man Nevertheless, the young lover was not discouraged. He had heard that Tacon loved justice, and he deter- mined to go to him at once. “Ia Miralda your sister?” asked the Governor, as Pedro fiuished his story. “She is my betrothed,” replied “By . Pedro. Tacon then bade him come rearer, and holding up a crucifix, command ed him, with a look that penetrated to his very soul, to swear to the truth of what he had said. Pedro knelt, kissed the cross and swore Two hours later Tacon had the Count and Miralda before him. “Count Almonte,” said the Gover- nor, “you adopted the uniform of the guards for your own private purposes upon this young girl, did you not?” “Excelencia, I can not deny it.” Tacon turned to an attendant and seut him to the church near by for a priest, who in a few minutes entered. “Holy father,” said Tacon, “you bind the hands of this Count Al monte and Miralda Estalez together in the bends of wedlock.” “Excelencia!” exclaimed the Count in amazement; while the girl and her lover exchanged glances of conster- nation. “Not a word, Senor; it is your part to obey!” Count Almonte knew the C. vers nor too well to offer further protest, and he doggedly yielded in silence, Miralda and Pedro were directed to remain, and Almonte was command ed to return to his castle. For half an hour the parted lovers sat there, mystified, while Tacon went on quietly with other business, asif he bad forgotten their existence. | Pressntly the officer of the gu returned. “Is my crder executed?” Tacon. “Yes, Excelencis! Nine bullets passed through the Count’s body as he rode around the correr of the street you mentioned.” Tacon then turned to tbe priest “You will see that the and said: Ife.
