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, - -"At t14 re willthe Child be born!" • ,• CH TER XIL 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 Church holds up her head, White happens. Even the vice -regal crown i not lost—the Church has cleft t ID m it r re as y. " 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 They would be opposed to Almighty, rather than confess they w well governed.- Bah 1 the ruins Mexico is mutiny. They „Scarcely lw a leader to move their madness. Th rebel on any week pretence. Th bluster when they are courted ;I th crouch when they are oppressed. Th are fools to all the world butthemselv I beg the Almighty; to consider in favor, that some over -hasty angell m placed my lot. -I should havebeenibo 'in --New York." ' • i 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 Fray Ignatius watched him furtively( • re - he ver is t.° is his is, m- ta t ? �d ere of int ey ey: 07 ey es. Ty is-- rn 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.
