CHAPTER VIIL mom= AND r mar. (Continued from last week.) , • The cold was still severe, andno one answered her call for wood. Isabel crouched white and shivering, over the -dying milers, and it was she who first • uttered the fear Antonia had roifused to admit to herself—" Suppose theservants are forbidden to wait upon us'' "I will bring wood myself; dearest." She Was greatly comforted by the word us." - She could almost have wept for joy of the sympathy it inclided. For thought is rapid ink& crucial moments, - and she had decided that even flight with her would be a kinder fate for Isabel, than the cruel tender mercies• "91" the Sisters and the convent. They could not talk much. The thought of their mother's anguish, and of the separation put between them and their household shocked and terrified them. 'Vainly they called for fuel. At dinner time no table ivas Iald, and no . preparations made for the meal. Then Antonia went into the kitchen. She took with ,her food, itaid cooked it. She brought wood into the parlor,' and .ncle , up the fire. Fortunately, her northern - education had given .her plenty of re- sources for such emergencies. Two or three savory dishes were soon ready,and the small table set upon a warm, bright hearth. • - • The Senora had. evidently not been in eluded in the ban, for Recite's, attended , with ostentationseare to her comfort, • but Isabel had rolled herself up in a wadded silk coverlet and gone to sleep. Antonia- awakened ' her with a kiss. "Come, queridita, and. get your din- ner." "But is it possible? I -thought Fray Ignatius had -forbidden it" vIlto cannot forbid me to wait upon you; my darling one. And he cannot turn the flour into dust, and the meat into stone. There is a good dinnei ready; and you are hungry, no doubt." "For three hours I have been faint. Ah !you. have made Me a custard also You are a very comforter." But the girl was still and sad, and An- tonia was hard pressed to find: any real comfort for her. For she knew that their only hope lay in the immediate at- tack of the Americanforce, and its suc- cess'and the did not think it while to hidefrom her sister the alternatives that lay before them if the Americans failed. i" I am afraid," said Isabel, "and so unhappy. A very sad. business is life. • I cannot think how any one can care to live." . - "Remember Luis; and our fatherand Jack, and Thomas, and our dear mother, who this morning stood between us and Fray Ignatius. - Will you let this priest . turn the sky black above you ?" "And also, men. fight. What for Who can tell? The Americans want so much of everything. Natur- ally they do not get all they want. What do they d�' - Fight, and get kill- ed. Then they 'go into the next ,world, and complain of peepte. As for Luis, I do not expect to see him again."' Tortunately, the norther moderated at sunset. Life then seemed so much more posaible. Adverse elements intensify adverse fortune, and the physical suffer- ing from the cold had also benumbed Antonia's spirits, and made her less hopeful. and. Jess clear -visioned. But when she, awoke at the gray dawn of the next day, she awoke with a _ different spirit. She had. regained herself. She rose quietly, end looked out towards, the city. The black flag fron:i the Alamo and the Miasions hung above it. She looked at the ominous standards, and then the tears sprang to her eyes;:she lifted her face and her hands to heaven, and "a few words, swifter than, Tight,: sprang from her soul into the ear of the. Eternal Father of Spirits. - , The answer came with the petition—. - came with the crack of rifle -shots ; pre- cise regular, unceasing. "Oh Gbd ! 1 thank Thee Lord' of Hosts* -Thou art ,great niultitude ! Isabel' Isabel' The Americans are at- tacking the city! Our father will fight his way back to his home! Fray Ignatius cannot come 0 -day. Oh, -I am so happy -So happy 1' Listen' How the Mexicans are shouting ! They are. cheering on the• men : What a tur- moil 1" " Jesu, Maria, have mercy V' died Isabel, clasping her crucifix and fallieg upon her knees. "Oh, Isabel, pray -for our father, that his angel Ma,y overshadow him with strong wings." _ "And Luis ?" "And Luis, and Thomas, and Jack, and Dare. There are prayers for them all, and <love enough to make them. Hark'. -there are the drums, and the trumpets, and the galls* of the cavalry. Comei dearest, let us go to our mother. To day, no one wilt remember Fray Ignatius." CHAPTER IX. TUE- STORMING OF WH13 ALAMO. ' "Nm -ii, hearts, Be ribbed with iron for this one atteinpt Set ope' your sluices, send the vigorous blood Through every active limb for our relief." . " New they begin" the tragic play, And with their smoky' cannon banishday." "Endure and conquer. God ivill soon dispose' To future good .our past and present woes: Resume your courage, and dismiss your care, Aa hour will come with pleasure to relate • Ybursorroats past, as benefits of Fate." The Senora was already dressed. She turned with a face full of fear and anger to her daughters its they entered her room— " These American diablos 1 They are attacking the city. They Will take it— that is to be expected --who can fight diabIos, And. what is to became of us' Oh, Antonia' Why did you prevent Fray Ignatius? We might novr have been safe in the convent," and RacheIa * nodded her head in assent, with an in- sufferable air of reproof' and tolera- tion. ,• Antonia saw that the time had not yet come for pleadingher own cause. She left Isabel with her mother. The Sen- ora's breakfast was waiting, and she offered to share it with her youngest daughter. Antonia went downstairs to prepare for hereerf some coffee.' She was surprised and pleased to find - it made. For a certain thought had come to Molly in the night and ihe had acted upon it— "Tlie praist is a strange praist, and almost as black as a nagur ; and I'd be a prior body, I think, to let him be med , . dling wid my work. Shure, z neve heard of the like of emirinterfering. i Ireland, nor in the States at mill" The turning to the Mexican- cook, - Manuel "You may lave the fire alone till I -bee done wid it." • A r "Fray Ignatius will not give you a solution if you disobey -him."." . ' "He can be kaping the same then ,There is an Irish praist at San Patrioi and 1,11 be going then for .my absole tion ; and I'll -be getting none anynei, er that an Irish soul will be a pin th better for I'll say that, standing in th church, to. the - saints themselves; an so be aff wid you and let .the fire alon -till I bees done wid it."

I 'She was smoking her pipe by th fire when Antonia entered the • kitchen and she neither lifted her eyes nor spok to her. - Against such unreasonable- isolatib Antonia, could not help a feeling of ' anger ; andahe heard with satisfactio the regular crack. Of the rifles. He thought was—" They will make thes people find their tongues also,. Ver soon." She wasexceedinglyanxious fo • infOrniation ; and, as she ate her roll and drank, her coffee, she was considerie how they 'meld :gain it. For --even t Tray Ignatius Were able to visit - them: his report would be colored by his prej udices and his desires, and could not b relied on. • • ' • Herheart fluttered and sank; she-Wa hot and cold, sanguine and fearful. She could not endure the idea of a suspense unrelieved by any reliable word. Fii the siege might be a long one. San -An- tonici was strongly walled and defended. -The 'Memo fortress stood in its centre. It hadIforty-eight cannon; and' a garri- son of is thousand men. Before it could be reached, the 'city had to be taken; and the inhabitants would in -the main fight desperately -for their. homes. As -soon as she was alone :with her mother, she pointed out these 'facts to her. !,‘-Let me write to Lopez -Navarro, mi mad,re. Ile is a friend." . . "OfIthe Americans!.Si." • "Oft freedom.

Just after sunset a letter arrived from Navarro:- Rachela lingered in the rooin to learn,its contents. But the Senora, having read them; passed the letter to Antonia( and Isabel; and Rachela saw with anger that Antonia, having care- fully considered it, threw it into ' the fire. - And yet the news it brought was not unfavorable: - _ . • ' " SzNoza Mama.
