ZARB. riimmiammort • WAFTER IX, THE STORMING OT THE ALAMO,, (Continued from last week.) • " Maria-SmitIssima I How delightful that will be, Roberto And as for our Isabel, shall We not make her happy ali6? Luis should have done as his fawn faniily have done; a young man tap against hiamother and his . uncles, that is yery wicked! but,ifwe forgive that fault, well, then, Luis is as good as good bread." • "1 think so. He began = the study of the law. He must finish it. He must finish it. He must learn the American laws also. I tun not a poor Man, Maria. I will give Isabel the fortune worthy of Yturbide or a,Flores—a fortune that will make her very welcome to the Al. vodka." • The Senora clasped her husband' hand with a smite. They -were sweet- ening their own happiness with .making the happiness of their children. They • looked first at Antonia. She sat with • Dare, earnestly talkingto him in a low i voice. Dare clasped n his own hand the dear little hand that had been prom - Died to him. Antonia bent toward her :lover ; her fair head rested against his shoulder. Isabel sat in a large chair, and Luis leaned on the back of it, stoop- ing his bright face to the lovely one which WWI sometimes dropped to hide her blushes, and sometimes lifted with flashing eyes to nswer his tender words. . A -"My happiness is se great, Reberto; I am eventired of happy. Call Radials. I must go to sleep. ; To -night I cannot even say an ave."' I ` "God hears the unspoken prayer in your heart, Maria; and to -night let me help you upstairs. My arm is stronger than Raohela's." She rose with a little affectation of greater weakness and lassitude than she really felt. But she wished to .be weak that her Roberto might be strong—to be quite dependent on his care and tender- ness. And she let her daughters em- brace her so prettily, and then offered her hand to Dare and Lehi with so much grace and true kindness that both young men were enchanted. "It is to be seen that they are gen- tlemen," she said, as she went slowly upatairs on her husband's arm.—"and hark! that is the singing of Luis. What is it he says" They stood still to listen. -Clear and sweet were the chords of the mandolin, and melodiously to them Luis was protesting—r • - "Freed= shall have our shining blades i Our hearts are yours, fair Texan maids I" CHAPTER Xi THE DOCTOR AND THE PRIEST.

In the afternoon it was some relief to see the confessor coming up the garden. He, had resumed his ester deliberate. pace. His hands were folded upoii his breast. He looked as the Mournful' Jeremiah may have looked, when hehad the burden of a heavy prophecy - to de- liver. The Senora sat down with a doggedly sullen n'ir, which Antonia understood very well. It meant I am not to be forced to take any way, but my two, to- - day ;"' and the wise priest understood her Mood as seen as he entered the room. He put behind him the reproof he had been meditating. He stimulated her curiosity; he asked her synipathy. Noinen, knew better than Fray Iglus - this, when .to assume sacerdotal author- ity and when to lay it Aside. And the Senora was never proof against the compliment of personal friendship. The fight; as it affected himself and his brotherhood and the convent; was full of interest to her. She milled at Broth- er Servando's childish alarm). she was angry at an insult offered to the vener- ableabbot ; she condoled With the Sis- ters , wept at the danger that the famous statue of the Virgin de Los Reme.dfas had been exposed to; and was alto. gether as sympathetic as he Could desire, until her own affairs were !mentioned. - "And ,you -also My daughter? ' The sword has pierced -your heart too, I am sure! To know that your hiviband and sons Were fighting against your God and your country Holy -Mother 1 ••.Elow, great must have been your grief. But, for your comfort, I tell you that the daints whehiiie suffered fiery martyr- dom stand at the feet of those who., like' you., endure the continual `crucifixion .of their affections." 'The Senora was silent, but not dis- pleased; and the _priest then ventured a _little further : Bat there is, an end to all. trials, daughter; and now abisolte you from the further struggle.

She let it fall When her Mother's pitiful, uncertain glance asked from her strength and counsel. She rose and went to her. • Never hact•the tall, fair girl looked so noble. A sorrowful ina- platy, that had something in it of pity -- and something of anger, gave to her . countenance, her movements, andeven. her speech, a kind of authority. - • "Dear mother, do as the beloved and kind-hearted Ruth did. Like you, she married one not of her race and' not of her religion:- Even when God had taken him from her, she chose to remain with his people—to leave her own people -and abide with' his mother. For this act God•bleesed her, and all nations in all ages have honored her." "Ruth!Rnth ! Ruth r What has Ruth to do • with the question?

The girl stood wit& burning 'cheeks gazing at the proud, passionate man„but she did not obey his order. "Senora," my daughter. See you with your own eyes the fruit of your sin. Will you dare to become a partner in Mich wickedness ?" "Antonia! Antonia Go at -Once and bring here this wicked book. =Oh how Yonr Saviour came not with gaudy show, Nor was His Kingdom of the World below. The crown He wore was of the pointed thorn ; , In purple He was crucified, not born. They who for place and high degree. Are not His sonst but those of Zebedee.". —DRYDEN. , The exalted state of mind which the - victorious men had brought home with ' -them did not vanish with sleep. The heroic atmosphere was in \.the- house in the morning. • Antonia's face had a brightness upon it that never yet was - the result of mere. flesh and blood. • When she came into the usual sitting - room, Dare was already there; indeed; he had risen purposely for this hour. Their smiles and glances met each other with an instantaneous underetand- ing. It was .the old Greek -greeting ".Rejoice !" without the audible expres- . mon. Never again, Perhaps, in all their lives would moments so full of sweet- ness and splendor come to them. They were, all the sweeter because blended with the homely duties that fell to An- tonia's hands. As she went about or- dering the breakfast, and giving to the table a festal air, Dare thought of thet old'Homerio heroes, and the daughters of the, kings who ministered to their wants. The bravest of them had done no greater deeds of personal valor thani had been done • by the little band of( American pioneers and hunters with he ha& fought the last four days. The princee amang them bed been wel-. corned by no sweeter and fairer women. than had welcomed his companions and himself. • And, though his clothing was black with thesmoke of the battle and tornwith the fray, never had Dare himself looked. so handsome. There was an unspeaka- ble radiance in his fair face. The clime, brown curls of his hair; his tall figure, supple and strong; his air of youthAnd valor, and victory; the love -light in his - eyes; the hopes in hi heart, made ham for the tinie really mein than a mere mortal man. He walked like the demi- gods he was thinking of. The most - glorious ideal of life, the brightest dream love that he had ever had, - found in this hour their complete reali- zation. 'The Senora did not come down ; but Isabel and Luta and the doctor joined the breakfast party. Iuie had evident- ly been to see Lopez Novarro before he did so ; for he wore a new suit of dark -blue velvet and silver, ;Cush of crimson silk, the neatest of patent leather shoes,. and the most beautifully embroidered linen. Dare gave him a little smile and nod of -approbation. He had not thought of fine clothing for himself, but then for the handsome, elegant, Mexican youth it seemed precisely.; tho right thing. And Isabel, in her scarlet satin, petticoat, and white embroideries and satin slippers, looked his. proper -. mate.. Iare and Antonia, and even the dootoi, ,watched their almost childlike devotion, to each other with sympathetic • delight. Oh, if such moments could onlyllast ! No, no ; as a rule they last long enough. joy wearies as well as sorrow. ..An abiding rapture would make itself a sorrow out of our very weskness to bear it. We should- become ex. hausted, and be irritated by the lim- itations of our nature, and our inabiligr to create and to endure an increasing rapture. It is because joy is fugitive that it leaves us a delightsome memory. Itis far better, then, not to hold the • rose -until it 2withers in our fevered hand. • The three woMen watched their heroes ,go batilitoto the city. The doctor looked veryllittf" Alder than his companions. He sid.hiiorso superbly, and he lifted can you make ',miserable mother who loves you solid& 1" ' ! - •- - - . In a few nionienti , Antonia returned with the objectionable book. „! "My ' dear grandmOthei gavel it to WO she "aid. "Look; 'nil madre, liere is the name in her -writing,.
