129    1,   17|               like an enormous meteor.~Joam Garral and his wife, Lina,
130    1,   17|               an instant turned toward Joam as if he would speak to

137    1,   17|               Will you take me there?”~Joam Garral replied by an affirmative
138    1,   18|          question about obtaining from Joam Garral the dismissal of
139    1,   18|                which all, save perhaps Joam Garral, felt the gravity.~
140    1,   18|               without incident, though Joam Garral had advised them

149    1,   19|         calamity.~Torres stepped up to Joam Garral, who, with bowed
150    1,   19|                on his shoulder, said, “Joam Garral, may I have a few
151    1,   19|                conversation with you?”~Joam looked at Torres.~“Here?”
152    1,   19|               what every one felt when Joam Garral and Torres disappeared.
153    1,   20|                could see or hear them, Joam Garral and Torres looked
154    1,   20|             speak? Did he suspect that Joam Garral would only reply
155    1,   20|               the part of an accuser.~“Joam,” he said, “your name is
156    1,   20|            which Torres thus gave him, Joam Garral could not repress
157    1,   20|               slight shudder.~“You are Joam Dacosta,” continued Torres, “
158    1,   20|              murder!”~No response from Joam Garral, whose strange tranquillity
159    1,   20|             accusing his host? No! For Joam Garral made no start at
160    1,   20|               what Torres was coming.~“Joam Dacosta, I repeat! It was
161    1,   20|           question which Torres asked. Joam Garral, still calm, took
162    1,   20|                you want from me?” said Joam quietly.~“A reply,” slowly
163    1,   20|          escaped from execution; he is Joam Garral, whose true name
164    1,   20|             Garral, whose true name is Joam Dacosta.’”~“And so, Torres,”
165    1,   20|                  And so, Torres,” said Joam Garral, “I shall have nothing
166    1,   20|              Neither you nor I?” asked Joam Garral. “It is not with
167    1,   20|              What do you want, then?”~“Joam Garral,” replied Torres, “
168    1,   20|               is this proposal?” asked Joam.~Torres hesitated for a
169    1,   20|              to marry her!”~Apparently Joam Garral expected anything
170    1,   20|                to be the son-in-law of Joam Garral, and I will.”~“You
171    1,   20|       scoundrel, Torres,” quietly said Joam, whose coolness never forsook
172    1,   20|            each other.”~At these words Joam Garral rose, advanced to
173    1,   20|            become one of the family of Joam Dacosta, you ought to know
174    1,   20|                 you ought to know that Joam Dacosta was innocent of
175    1,   20|          Really!”~“And I add,” replied Joam, “that you hold the proof
176    1,   20|             his daughter.”~“Fair play, Joam Garral,” answered Torres,
177    1,   20|               dead.”~“Dead!” exclaimed Joam Garral; and the word made
178    1,   20|            with remorse. He knew where Joam Dacosta had taken refuge,
179    1,   20|             The man’s name?” exclaimed Joam Garral, in a tone he could
180    1,   20|            family.”~“And the writing?”~Joam Garral was ready to throw
181    1,   20|             refuse me?”~“Yes,” replied Joam, “but in return for that
182    1,   20|               Once more, Torres,” said Joam Garral, “you are a consummate
183    1,   20|               will be your ruin, then, Joam Garral. Everything accuses
184    1,   20|           Master as he was of himself, Joam could stand it no longler.

309    2,    6|               In fact he had seen that Joam Dacosta had said nothing
310    2,    6|               shouted that the life of Joam Dacosta depended on his
311    2,    6|             prisoner.~The door opened. Joam Dacosta saw his wife, his
312    2,    6|            Manoel enter the room.~“Ah! Joam, my Joam!” exclaimed Yaquita.~“
313    2,    6|                the room.~“Ah! Joam, my Joam!” exclaimed Yaquita.~“Yaquita!

315    2,    6|            Dead!—Torres!—Dead!” gasped Joam Dacosta. “My son! You have
316    2,    7|             otherwise? Ah! why had not Joam Dacosta told him all before
317    2,    7|              and that from the lips of Joam Dacosta himself. They knew
318    2,    7|                was saved by a miracle, Joam Dacosta might now be considered
319    2,    7|               The unexpected arrest of Joam Dacosta had revived the
320    2,    7|                these people believe in Joam Dacosta’s innocence, when
321    2,    7|               excited by the arrest of Joam Dacosta, and who could say
322    2,    7|                way to the innocence of Joam Dacosta. But it is none

325    2,   10|            would have been recognized! Joam Dacosta, restored to liberty,
326    2,   11|                to corroborate all that Joam Dacosta had said on the
327    2,   11|               such an ignoble price to Joam Dacosta? Was this material
328    2,   12|              contingency which neither Joam Dacosta nor his people could
329    2,   12|              lose an instant in seeing Joam Dacosta, they hastened on
330    2,   12|                of all that had passed.~Joam Dacosta took the document
331    2,   12|             our brains to unravel it.”~Joam Dacosta shook hands with
332    2,   12|              and then the innocence of Joam Dacosta will be palpable
333    2,   12|           establishing the identity of Joam Dacosta, the magistrate
334    2,   12|           contain the justification of Joam Dacosta, he felt all the
335    2,   12|            track, among others that of Joam Dacosta; and if he had anything
336    2,   13|              will be found the name of Joam Dacosta. Well, if the lines
337    2,   13|            been branded as guilty, and Joam Dacosta is to lose his life
338    2,   13|                this document refers to Joam Dacosta?”~“Who told me so?”
339    2,   14|              opinion on the subject of Joam Dacosta. To anger succeeded
340    2,   14|                of the guiltlessness of Joam Dacosta; and the hope that
341    2,   14|              not likely to be delayed.~Joam Dacosta had been arrested
342    2,   14|             gave the information about Joam Dacosta, that the document
343    2,   14|             any case, the situation of Joam Dacosta was most hazardous.
344    2,   14|                more in the interest of Joam Dacosta than for the satisfaction
345    2,   14|              so important to him? Then Joam Dacosta was born in 1804.
346    2,   15|             this crime, and exonerated Joam Dacosta? Would that give
347    2,   15|               Iquitos.~The attitude of Joam Dacosta was well adapted
348    2,   15|               had thus not produced on Joam Dacosta the impression which
349    2,   15|             guilty man, and exonerated Joam Dacosta. And so he put even
350    2,   16|           first verdict which declared Joam Dacosta the perpetrator
351    2,   16|             received.~Once more, then, Joam Dacosta would have to escape
352    2,   16|            window of the cell in which Joam Dacosta was confined. The
353    2,   16|         noticed before the day dawned. Joam Dacosta could get safely
354    2,   16|                length. “And now, ought Joam Dacosta to be told about
355    2,   16|               once on board, where was Joam Dacosta to seek refuge?
356    2,   16|          return to it as the fazender, Joam Garral, but as the convict,
357    2,   16|            Garral, but as the convict, Joam Dacosta, continually in
358    2,   16|              Brazilian frontier. There Joam Dacosta would be comparatively

360    2,   16|          convinced of the innocence of Joam, and would try to save him
361    2,   16|                to await the arrival of Joam Dacosta. To get back to
362    2,   16|            interior of Bolivia, and if Joam decided to leave his country
363    2,   16|           which they were engaged—when Joam Dacosta, once more free,
