In the Palace of the King {Continued from page 45) little blind sister, the Princess Eboli, old but still full of a fitful fire when she looked up on the young Don John, all the fairest of the Court would turn their flower faces away from Don John and gravitate by the very order of the day toward Phillip, their King. Yes . . . the King rolled the sweet morsel of his brother's inglorious death under his tongue. His eyes shone with a sort of wet avarice. A distant glimpse of Dolores Mendoza walking with bowed head in the garden, like an incipient widow, did not change the King's mind. These silly women . . . with that valiant stripling gone he, Phillip, would teach them what a man's love was like. . . . "What is the condition of the Treasury?" asked the King, well knowing what answer his crafty Perez would give before the Court. "I have but told you, Sire, this very day, that the money is exhausted," came the expected answer. There was a murmur in the Court. It had to do with the men fighting in Granada, with the fact that the Court had held high revelry ever since the departure of the troops which accounted for the now depletion of the Exchequer and with the fact that surely moneys were never so sorely and honorably needed as when called for by the troops fighting for the glory of Spain. But under all the murmurs all that Phillip caught was the name of Don John. It seemed to his fevered suspicion that all the people were concerned with was the safety of their darling. Don John . . . Don John . . . Don John . . . damn him! The King shrugged his shoulders and turned away. He signified that such being the case it was unfortunate, but there was nothing to be done. Let the rabble rave and mutter among themselves. Once the young John was dead what could they do then. Weep over his flag-draped body. Inter him with trumpets and honors. And then forget him. Even Dolores would forget him. The young so easily forget. So very easily, as well the King should know. From the King, Cortez turned to Dolores, who had come near, and handed her a blood-stained note. It was a hasty, broken line of possible farewell should he never return, as seemed entirely possible at that time. Dolores placed the note in her bosom and walked away. Her father followed her. "You have made me the laughingstock of the Court," he said angrily, "all our world knows now by your one simple gesture that if he returns you are to be his toy, his plaything, and that you are willing to be." "Father," the girl said, wearily, "I have told you that you do not understand. If he returns, which may the good God grant, then I am to be his wife." General Mendoza made the sign of fhe Cross before he said, "God grant that he may never return to destroy your faith." But he did return. In the very teeth of defeat. Don John, unaided by the treasury of Spain, had turned that same defeat into victory by a brilliant attack at daybreak when the less subtle Moors were snoring and unprepared. The word came at nightfall, "Granada is ours. The Infidel has been conquered and Don John is victorious !" The Court fell into revelry then with its heart as well as with its body. Only 86 GE I
