CHAPTER
A KAMM TRUCE, .
"If we are not disturbed in any wsy,
will keep very quiet, within my own
home."
" If Fray Ignatius attempts to inter-
fere with you—what then?"
-"I will fly from him, and takeIsabel
and_mi madre with me."
"That is your only safety. ' I shall
hear if the Americans desertthe city;
then I will send your brother Thomas,
if by any possibility it can be done, to
guard you to the eastern settlements.
But I may not be able to do thit—there
may be no time—it cannot be depended
* upon—Lopez Navarro will help you all
he can, and Ortiz. You may always
rel, on Ortiz."
My father, I cannot trust Ortiz.
Every wan is a master to a peon. He
would mean to do kindly,but his coward-
ice might make him false. ,
"Ortiz is no peon. Ile is a Mexican
officer of high rank, whom Santa Anna
ordered to be shot. I saved hie life.
He wears the clothes ei a peon—that is
necessary-; but he has the honor and
gratitude of a gentleman beneath them.
If necessary, trust Ortiz fully. One
thing above all others remember—Flight
before, & convent."
"Flight! Yes, death before It! I
promise you, father. When we meet
again, you hall ;ay, well done, An-
tonia.".
• it was now, about midnight. They
went back to the parlor. Luis and Dare
sat by the dying fire, They were bent
forward, close together over it, talking
in a low voice. They- rose when the
doctor Spoke, and silently kissed , An-
tonia.
"It -will be a hard ride, °now," laid
the doctor, and Dare answered, mechan-
ically, "but we shall manage it." He
held Antonia's hand, and she went with
them to the rear of the house, Their
horses were standing ready saddled.
Silently the men mounted. In it moment
'they had passed the gate, and the beat
of their horses' hoofs gradually died
away.
But all through the clear spacessof the
eltk the Christmas bells were ringing,
and thelerenaders -were musically • tell-
ing each other,

DANGER AND HELP.
A curious creed theiWeave,
And, for the Church Commands it,
All men Must needs baleen,
Though no man Understands it.
God loves his few pet Iambs, \ _
And saves his one pet nation;
The rest he largely damns,
With swinging reprobation:"
Thi. Church may loose and bind;
But Mind, inunortal Mind,
As tree as wave or wind, -
Came forth, 0 God, from Thee." '
—maxim
Dr. Worth had set his daughter a task
of no light magnitude. It was true,
that Rachel& and Fray Ignatius could
no longer disturb the household by their
actual presence;but their power to cause
unhappiness was not deatroyed. Among
the Mexican families loyal to Santa
Anna the dismission of the priest and
the duenna had been a source of much
indignant gossip; for Rachel& was .one
of -those women who cry out when they
are hurt, and compel others to 'share
their trouble. The priest had not there-
fore found it necessary to explain why
the Senora had called upon a new con-
fessor. He could be silent, and possess
his dignity in uncomplaining patience
for Rachel' paraded his wrongs as a kite
of set-off to her own.
Such piety 'Stich virtues ! And the
outrageous conduct of the Senor Doctor!
To .be sure there was cause for anger at
the Senorita -Antonia. Oh, yes! She
could crow her mind abroad! There
were books—Oh, infamous books!
Books not proper to be, read, and t
Senorita had them! Well then, if t
father burned them,
that was a goo
deed done. And be had almost been re-
viled for it—sent outaf the house—yes,
it was quite possible that he had been
,
struck Anything Was possible from
those American hereties. As for her
own treatment, after twenty years ser-
vice, it had been cruel, abominable, more
than that—iniquitous; but about these
things she had spoken, and the day of
atonement Would come. Justice was in-
forming itself on the whole matter.
Suoheonversations contlnually diversi-
fied, extended, repeated on all hands,
quickly aroused a prejudice agitinst_the
doctor's family. Besides which, s the
Senora Alveda resented bitterly the
visits of her son Luis to Isabel. None
of the customs of a Mexican "betrothal
had taken place, and Rachel& did not
spare her imagination in describing the
scandalous American familiarity that
had been permitted. That this familiar-
ity had taken place under the eyes- ,of
the doctor and the Senora only intensi-
fied the insult. She might have forgiven
clandestine meetings; but that the for-
malities due to the Church and herself
should have been neglected was indeed
unpardonable.
It soon became evident to the Senora
that she had Jost the good -will of her
old friends, and the respect that had al-
ways been given to her social position.
It was difficult for, her to believe thie,
and she only accepted the humiliating
fact After a variety of those small insults
which women reserve for their own
!ex.
She was fond of visiting; She valued
the good opinion of her caste, and in the
very chill of the gravest calamitiei she
worriedherher strength away over little
grievances lying outside the walls of her
home and the rest affections of her life.
And perhaps with perfect truth she
asserted that she had done nothing to
deserve this social ostracism. Others
had made her miserable, but, she could
thank the saints none could make her
Path
, The defeat of Coshed been taken by
the loyal inhabitants al a mere prelimin-
ary to the real. fight. They :were _very
little disturbed by it. It was the overt,
sat hich was necessary to convince
1016Xi30 that her clemency to Americans
was e mistake, and that the ungrateful
and impieus race must be wiped out of
existence. The newspapers not only re-
iterated this neceasity, but proclaimed
its certainty. They heralded the com-
ing of Santa Anna;the victorious aveng-
er, with passionate gasconading. It was°
a mere question of a few dews or weeks,
and in the meantime the people of San
Antonfo were " making a little profit
and pleasure to themselves out of the ex-
a dityln which they did not anticipate
their revenge in local military displaye,7
In dances. and illuminations, in bull-
fights, and in splendid religious proces-
SIMS. -
And Antonia found _it impossible to
1 combat this influence. It was in the
house as certain flavors Were in certain
foods, or as heat was in fire. She taw
it inhthe faces of her servants, and felt it
in their indifference to their duty.
Every hour she watched more anxiously
for some messenger from her father.
And as day after day went by in a hope.
less Sameness of grief, she grew more
restless under the continual small trials
that eucompsssed her.
Towards the end of January, General
Urres, at the head of the vanguard of
'the MOXICAll army, entered Texas. His
destination was La Bahia or Goliad, a
strong fortress garrisoned by Americans
under Colonel Fanning. Santa -Anna
was to leave in eight days after him.
With an artily of 'twenty thousand men
he was coming to the relief of San.
Antonio.
The news filled the city with the wild-
est rejoicing. The little bells of the
Processions, the big bells Of the churches,
the firing of cannon, the hurrahs of the
tumultuous, people, made an uproar
which reached the -three lonely women
through the closed windows of their
rooms.
"If only Lopez Navarro'would come ‘1
If he would send us some little message 1
Holy Mary, even he has forgotten us !"
cried the Senora in a paroxysm of up-
braiding sorrow.
At that moment the door opened, and
Fray Ignatius passed the threshold with
lifted hands and a muttered blessing.
He approached the Senora, and she fell
on her knees and kissed the hand with
which he crossed her.. ,
"Holy father !" she cried, "the angels
sentliou to A despairing woman."
y daughter, I have guided you
since your first communion '• how then
could I forget you? Your husband has
deserted you—you, the helpless: tender
lamb, whom he swore to cherish; but
the bleesed fold of your ' church stands,
open. Come, poor weary one, to its
shelter."
"My father—"
-
"Listen to me! The Mexican troops
are soon to arrive. Vengeance without
mercy is to be dealt out. You are the
wife of an American rebel; I cannot
promise you your life, or your honor, if
you remain here. When soldiers are
drunk with blood, and women fall in
their way, God have mercy upon them •!
I would shield even your rebellious
daughter Antonia from such a fate. I
open the doors of the convent to you all,
There you will find safety •,and
peace."
Isabel sat with white, parted lips
clasped hands, listening. Antonia had
not moved or woken. But with the last
words the priest half -turned to her, and
she came swiftly to her mother's side,
and kissing her, whispered:
"Remember . your .promise to my
father Oh, mi madre, do not leave
Isabel and me alone !"
I You, too, dear ones I- , We will all
go together, till these dreadful days are
past."
"No no, no! Isabel and I will not
go. We will die rather,"
The Senorita talks like a foolish
one. Listen again! When Santa Anna
comes for judgment, it will be swift and
terrible. This house and estate will be
forfeited. The faithful Church inay
lope righteously to obtain it. The sis-
ters have long needed a good home. The
convent will then come to you. You
will have no shelter but the Church.
Come to her aims ere her entreaties are
turned to commands."
"My husband told me—"
"Saints of God! you have no hus-
band. He has forfeited every right to
advise you. Consider that, daughter;
and if you trust not my advice, there is
yet living your honorable uncle, , the
bfarquis de Gonzags."
Antonia caught eagerly at this sugges-
tion. It at least offered some delay, in
which the Senora might be strengthened.
to resist the coercion of Fray Ignatius.
"Mother, it is a good thought. My
great-uncle will tell you what to de;
and my father Will not blame you for
following his advice. Perhaps even he
may offer his home. You are the child
of his sister."
Fray Ignatius walked towards the
fire -place and stood rubbing slowly his
long, thin hands before the blaze, while
the Senora and her daughters discussed
this proposal. The half-frantio mother
was little inclined to make any further
effort to resist the .determined will of
her old confessor; but the tears of Isa-
bel won from her a promise to see her
uncle.
"Then, my daughter, lose no time. I
cannot promise you many days in which
choice will be left you. Go this after-
noon,. and tamorrow I will call for your
decision." -
It was not a visit that the Senora
liked to make. She had deeplypffended
her uncle by her marriage,and their inter-
course had since been of the most care-
monious and infrequent kind. But,
surely, at this hour, when she was left
without any one to advise her steps he
would remember the tie of blood between
them. ,
He received her with more kinds
than she anticipated. • His eyes glittered
in their deep sockets when she related
her extremity and the priest's pro.posal,
and his small shrunken body quivered
with excitement as he answered:
"Saints and angels! Fray Ignatius
is right about Santa Anna. We shall
see that he will make caps for his soldi-
ers out of the skins of these infidel in-
grates. But as -for going into the con-
vent,1 know not. A miserable mar-
riage you made for yourself, Maria.
Pardon, if I say so much! I let the
word ellp always. I was !never one to
bite my tongue. 1 am an old man—
very well, come here, you and your
daughters, till the days of blood are
over. There ifiroom in the. house, and a
few comforts in it also. 1 have some
power with Santa Anna. He is Asreat
man—a great man! In all his wars,
good fortune flies before him."
He kissed her hands as he opened the
door, and then went back to the fire,and
bent, muttering, over it: "Giver of
good ! , a true Yturbide ; a gentle
woman; she is like my sister Mercedes
—very like her. These poor women
who trust me: as I am a sinner before
God, I am unhappy to deceive them."
Fray Ignatius might have divined his
thoughts, for he entered at the moment,
and said as he approached *him
"You have- done right. The soul
must be laved, if all le lost. This is not
a time for the friends of the Ch ;
of Mexico to waier. The Chiral is
suited every dty by these foreign 1, he
tics—" ,
"But you are mistaken, father, ; t

FIgnStius'emile.d, but there iWa
curious and crafty look of inquiry on
face. "The city is turbulent, Marcie
and there is undoubtedly a 'great nu
ber of Mexicans opposed to, pan
Anna." • 1`
"Do you not -know Mexicans i ye

I beg the Almighty; to consider in

The priest knew he was talking' for
irritation, but he wastoo politic to fiver
the mood. He stood en the _hearth
with • his hands folded behind him; and
with * delightful suavity turned the
conversation upon the country. rather
than the People. It was a glorious day
ID the dawn of Spring; The tenderest
greens, the softest blues, the freqiest
scents, .the clearest air, the most delight-
ful sunshine were everywhere. The
white old town, with its picturesque
crowds, its murmur of voices and laugh.
ter, its echoes of fife and drum, its lovas
and its hatreds, was at his feet; and,
lair off, the hazy glory of the mountains,
the greenness and freshness of Paradise,
the peace and freedom of the 7;vast, I, un -
planted places. • The old marquis ,iwas
insensibly led to contemplate the
whole; and- in so doing, to put upper-
most that pride of country which was
the base of every feeling susceptible to
the -priest's influence. - -
Such a pleasant city, Marquis, !
-Spanish monks' founded It.- Spiels
andMexican soldiers have defended it.
Look at its fine churehes, and mis-
sion.; lovely homes, and blooming
gardene." ,
"It Is also all our own, ,,father. i: It
was but yesterday I said to one of those
insolent Americans who was condescend.ing to admire .‘ Very good, Senor;
and, if you deign to believe Me, it :was
not brought froth New York. Such as
you see it, it WAS made by .. ourselvei
here at San Antonio.' Saints in heaven
the fellow "laughed in my face, iWe
were mutually convinced of each other's
stupidity."
"Ah, how they envy us the country!
And you, Marquis, who have traveled
over the world; you can imagine !the.
reason?" ,
"Father, I will tell you the reation
it is the craving in the heart' to find
'again the lost Eden. The. Almighty
made Texas with full hands. , When He
sets his heart on .a man, he is permitted
to live there." - 1
"Grace of God! '- You 'speak the
truth. Shall we then giveup the gift of
His hand to hqetics.and infidels ?" -
"1 cannot finegine it." -
Then every one must dO. the Work
he can do. Some are to slay the lun-
-believers ; others are to preserve' the
children of the " Church. . Your niece
and her two daughters will be lost tothe
faith, unless you interfere- for their Sal-
vation Of you will their souls be re-
quited." '
"By Saint Joseph, it is a duty no in
agreement with my desire! who
have carefully`abstained from the charge
of a wife and daughteryaf my own.".
"It is but a day or two, Marqnie,
until Ufa =Merl; arranged. The eon -
vent is the best of all refuges for women
so desolate." .
The marquis did not AUSWer. He
lifted a book and began to read; and

In the meantime the -Senora . had
reached her home. She was pleased
with the result of her visit: A little
kindnesseasily imposed upon this child-
like woman, and she trusted in any one
who was pleasant to her. '
"You may believe me, Antonia," she
said; "my uncle was in a ,teinper most
unusual. He kissed my hands. Be
offered me- his protection. That is
great thing, I assure you. And your
father cannot object to our removal
there."
Antonia knew_ not what answer to
make. Her heart inisgave her. Wby
had Fray !Ignatius made the proposal?
She was sure it WAS part of an arrange-
ment; and not a spontaneous -suggestion
of the moment. And she was equally
sure that any preconcerted plan, having
Fray Ignatius for its author, must be
inimical to them. " •
Her mother's entry had not awakened
Isabel, who lay asleep upon a sofa. The
Senora was .a little nettled at the cir-
cumstance. " She is a very , child ! A
visit of such importance! And she is
off to the land of dreams- while 1- am
fatiguing myself! 1 wJth indeed that
she had more consideration V' , Then
Antonia braught her chotiolate, and, as
she drank it and smoked her cigarito,
she chatted in an ;almost eager wty,
about the persons she had seen, °
"Going towards the. Plaza, I met
Judge Valdez. I stopped the carriage,
and sent my affections to the Senora.
%mid you believe it? He answered
me as if his mouth were full of snow.
His disagreeable behavior was exactly
copied by the Senora Silvestre and her
daughter Esperanza. Dona Julia and
Pifer de Calval did not even perceive
ine. Santa Maria! there are -none so
blind as those who won't see ! Oh, in-
deed I found the journey like ' the
way .of salvation—full of, huthiliations.
I would have stopped at the store of the
Jew Lavenburg, and ordered many
things, but he turned in when he ea*
me coming. Onceindeed, he would
have put his hat on the pavement for me
to treathipon. But he has heard that
your father has made a' rebel of himeelf,,
and what can be expected? He knows
-when Santa Anna has done With the
rebels not one of them will have any-
thing left for God to rain upon. And
there was a great ctowd and a great
tumult. I think the whole, city had ia
brain fever."
At this moment Isabel began to moan
ID her sleep as if her soul was in some in-
tolerable terror or grief: and ere An-
tonia could reach her she sprang into the
middle of the room with a shriek that
rang through the house. +
It was some minutes before the child
&Mid be soothed. She lay in her moth -
