Aatuzi OF SANTA ANNA,
(Oentinestireni lest wedc,)
Ohs prayed, sad exeleimed, and

bleu alined unendurable, and Thomas on
the Verge .of One of these terrifying
passions that mark the extremity of
babitualty gentle, patient MOIL
At My God, ° mother I" he exclaimed
with *stamp of his spurred boot on the
stone floor; "if you will go to the devil-
-to the priests, I mean—You must go
alone.. Kiss your mother farewell,
1. girls. have not another moment to
Wait."
Then, in a!passion of angry sobs and
reproaches, ihe decided to go. with her
daughters, and no saint ,ever suffered
with * more firm conviction of their
martyrdom to duty than did this poor
foolish, affectionate slave to her emo-
tions and her superstitions. But when
Thomas had gone, and nothing was to
be gained by a display of her sufferings,
° she, permitted herself toIte interested in
their hiding -place, and: after Antonia
had given her a oup 'of chocolate, and
'Babe -Abed petted. and soothed her, she
began gradually to allow them to ex-
plain their situation, and , even, to feel
some interest in its discussion.
• They 'sat in the °harmful, dusky
glimmer of starlight, for candles and
fire were forbidden luxuries. Fortunate-
ly, the weather was warm and sunny,
and for making ohocoleteand such sim-.
ple cookery, Lopez had provided a spirit
lantp, The Senora was as pleased as a
child with this arrangement. She had
never MU anything like it before. She
even imagined_ the food cooked upon it
had some rare and unusual flavor. She
was quite proud when she had learned
its, mysteries, and quite sure that choco-
late she made upon it was chocolate of a
inost superior kind.
The house had been empty for two
years, and the grist point was to .pre-
serve its air of desolation. No outside
arrangement was touched.; the torn
remnants of some balcony hangings were
left fluttering in the wind; the closed
windows and the closed doors, the &b-
eetles of smoke from the chimneys and
of lights from the windows preserved
the air of emptiness and loneliness that
the passers-by had been accustomed to
see. And, as it was on. the highway
into the city, there were great numbers
of kasere; mule -trains goilig to Mexico
and Sonora „.- cavaliers and pedestrians;
splendidly -dressed nobles and
dusty peons bringing in wood; ranch -
men, peddleritand the ° whole long liet
of a great '_city's purveyors and ser-
vants.
But though Some of the blind" were
hedf-olosed, much could be seen; and
Isabel also often took cushions upon the
fiatroof, and -lying _down, watched, from
-between the pilasters of the balustrade
surrounding it, the moving panorama.
On the morning of the third day of
what the Senora called their imprison-
ment, they went to the roof to sit in the
clear sunshine andthe fresh wind. They
were weary and depressed with the
loteliness and uncertainty of their posi-
tion,.and were almost longing for swine,
thing to happen that would push for-
ward the lagging wheela of destiny.
A, long fanfare of trumpets, a roll of
'drums, a stirring march of warlike
melody, etartled them. out of the leth-
argic tedium of exhausted hopes and
fears. "It is Santa Anna !" said An-
tonia • and though. they durst not stand.
up, they drew closer to the- balustrade
and watched for the approaching army.
Is there any woman Nyhe can resist that
nameless emotion which boat fires and
rends the heart in the presence of great
° military movements ? Antonia was
still and speechless, andwhite as death.
Isabel watched with gleaming eyes and
set lips. The Senora's excitement was
unmistakably that of exultant national
pride.
Santa Anna and his ataff-officers were
in front. They passed too rapidly for
individual natio°, but ,it was a . grand
moving picture of handsome men in
scarlet and gold—of graceful mangaa
and waving plumes, and bright.colbred
velvet capes; of high-mettled horses,
and richly adorned. Mexican saddles,
aqueras of black fur, and silver stirrups;
of thousands of common soldiers, in a
fine iunifordi of red and blue, with
antique brazen helmets gleaming in,. the
sun, andIong lances, adorned. with tri-
colored streamers. They went pastlike
a vivid, wonderful dream—like the vis-
ion dart army of mediaeval knights.
In a few minutes the tumult of the
advancing army was inoreased tenfold
by the clamor of the city pouring out to
meet it. The clashing bells from the
steeples, the shouting of the populace,
theldare of trumpets and roll of drums,
the, lines of churchmen and officials in
their grandest dresses, of citizens of
• every age,—the indescribable human
murmur—altogether it was a scene
whose sensuous splendor obliterated' for
a time the capacity of impressionable
natures to judge rightly.
•.„ But Antonia taw beyond ail this brave
show the ridges of red war, and, a noble,
perversity of ' soul made ker turn her.
senses inward. Then her eyes grew dim
smiler heart rose in pitying prayer for
that small band of heroes standing to-
gether for life and liberty in the grim
Alamo. No pomp of- war was theirs.
They were isolated from all their fel-
lows. They were surrounded by their
enemies. No word of sympathy could
reach them, Yet she knew they would
_stand like lions at bay ; that they would
give life to its last drop fort liberty ;
. and rather than be less than freemen,
they would prefer not to be at all. .
CHAPTER XIV.
THE -TALL DE THE ALAMO..
"The combat deepens. On, ye brave,
Who rush to glory or the grave.'
"To all the sensgal world prod-attn.;
One crowded hour of glorious We
Is worth en -age without a name."
"-Gashedwith honorable scars,
Low in Glory's lap they lie;
Though, they fell, they fell like stars,
' Streaming splendor through the sky."
• The passing hy. of Sante Anna and the
Mexican army, though it -had been. hour-
ly expected for nearly three days, was an
event which threw the Senora and her
• daughters into various conditions of
inentel elcitement. They descended
from the roof to the Senora's room,
where they could move about and -con-

When Ortiz was gone, Isabel had e
little fret of disappointment. Luis
might have found some messenger to
bring her a word of his love and life:
What was love worth that did not anni-
hilate impossibilities! However, it
consoled her a little to carry Jack's let-
ter to, his mother. The Senora had
taken her morning chocolate and fallen
asleep; .' When Isabel awakened • her,
she opened her eyes with e sigh, and a
look of hopeless misery. These pallid
depressions attacked her most cruelly -
in the morning, when the room shabby
and unfamiliar,. gave both her memory
and anticipation a shock, 1.
But the sight of the letter fluithed her
face with expectation. . She todk :it with
smiles, • She covered it with. kisses.
When she opened it, a curl from 'Jack's
head fell on to her lap. She pressed it
to her heart, and then rose and laid it.
at the feat of her Madonna: "She
must share my joy," she said with a
pathetic childishness; "she will under-
stand it." Then, with her artri around
Isabel, and the girl'sheid on his lihoul-
der, they read together Jack's loving
words: - • -
"Mi madre, mi Madre, you have
Juan's heart in your heart. Be
that in all this trouble I sorr
for you. When victory is wo
fly to, you. Other young: m
other loves; I have only . yo
mother. There is always -the c
heart for the kiss I missed whE
you. If I could hold your handto-night,
if I could hear your voice, if I could lay
my hesd.on your breast, I would say
that the Holy One had given I me the
best blessings He had in heaven, Send
to me a letter, madre—a letter full of
love and kisses. Forgive Juan `I Think
of this only, he ii -my boy 1 If I live, it
is for you,

and remember how often they have
clesped mine. I kiss your eyes, your
cheeks, your dear lips. Mi madre, re-
member me! In your prayers, remem-
ber Alen I" ' _
With what tears and sobs .Was this
loving letter read by all the women; =
and the Senora finally laid it Where she .
had laid the precious curl that had come
with it. She wanted "the ! Woma '
blessed 'among women" to share t e
Mother joy and the mother anguish in
her heart. Besides, she Wes I a little
nervous about Jack's memento of hiM.
self. Her superstitious lore taught her
that severed hair is a token of severed
love. She wiehed he had not sent it,
and yet she could not bear to lire itout
of her sight. -

"My dear mother, OM ,W0 do .any
good by exclaiming and weeping ?"
"Holy Virgin 1 Perhaps not; .but to
have a little human nature is More
Agreeable to those who are yet on the
earth side of purgatory."
"Mi madre," said Isabel, "Antonia

and plans for us, and even now has
everything ready for us to move at a
moment's notice. Our good angels

• "Mother, there are luindreds of

think this house a palace of comfort and
safety."
"Saints and angels! Is thatmy

Antonio, and always before I have been
able to make a little pleasure to. myself
out of the event. For the Mexicans are
not blood -thirsty, though they are very
war -like. When Bravo was here, what
balls, what bn11.fights, what visiting
among the ladies Indeed, there was,
so much to .tell, , the tertulie was as
necessary as the dinner. To be surer
the Mexicans are not barbarians; they
made a war that had some refinement.
But the Americans! They are savages.
With them itis fight, fight, fight, and if
Ave try to be agreeable,: aa. we were to

Dear mother, refinement in war is
not possible. Nothing can- make -'it -
otherwise than brutal ainThloocly,
"Antonia, allow that I, who am your -
mother, should know what I have sim-
ply seen with my_eyes. Salcedo, Bravo,'
Martinez, Urrea—are they not great
soldiers Very well, then, I say they
brought some pleasure with their armies;
:and you will !see that SantarAnna will do
the same. Ifwe were only in our own
home I , It !Mist have been the devil
who made us leave it." '
"How truly splendid the officers
'coked, mi madre. I dare say Senor
Valdez will entertain them."
"That is certain. And as for Dorette
Valdez—the coquette—it will certainly.
be a great:happiness to her." .
Isabel sighed, and the Senora .felt a
kind of satisfaction in the sigh. It was
unendurable to be alone in her regrets
and her longings. -
"Yes," she continued, "every ;night
Senora Trespalacios: will give a tertulia
and the officers_ will have -military balls

gay, so charming, so devoted, and in a
few hours, perhaps, they will go into.
the other, world by the road of the bat-
tle -field: Ah, how pitiful ! How inter-
esting! Cannot you imagine it?"
- Isabel -sighed again, but the sigh was
for the gay, the charming Luis Alveda.
And when she thought of him, she for-
got in a moment to envy Dorette Valdez
or the 'senoritas of the noble house of
Trespalacioe. And some sudden, swift
touch of sympathy, strong as it was oc-
cult, made the Senora at the sante mo-
ment remember her husband and her
sons. A real sorrow and a real anxiety
drove out all smaller annoyances. Then
both her daughters wept together, until.
their community of grief had brought to
each heart the solemn Strength of- a
divine hope and reliance.
"My children, I will go now and
leve me,
w only.

" GraCkfl a Dios !" she kept jaculat,

everything. I shall not forgive Thomas

possible not to love him fentirely.

If the good God will only Jgive him back
to me, I will say ir, . prayer et thanks
every day of my.life long, ,, Ohs,' Juan 1
Juan! my boy ! my dear .one !" •
Thus she talked to herself land her
daughters continually. She !wrote •a
letter utl of motherly affection and
loving incoherencies ; and if Jack .had
ever received it he would doubtless
pray," said the sorrowful wife and have understood and kissed every; word,
mother; "At the foot of the cross I and worn the white messenger close to
will wait for the hour of deliverance ."
and casting-hereelf on her knees, with
her crucifix in her hind, she appeared in
kinament to have forgotten everything
but her anguish and her sins, and the
-Lamb of God upon whom, with childlike
faith, she was endeavoring to cast them.
Her tears dropped upon theeivory image
of the Crucified, and sympathetic tears
sprung into Antonia's and Isabers eyes,
as they listened to her implorationi
That night, when all was dark and
• still, Ortiz returned with the wagon.
In the morning Antonia went to speak
to him. He looked wornout And sor-
rowful, and she feared to ask him for
news. "There is food in the house, and
I have made you, chocolate," she said,
as she pitifully scanned te man's ex-
hausted condition.-
"The Senorita is kind as the angels.
I will eat and drink at -her order. I am,
indeed, faint and hungry."
- She brought him ° to the table; and
when he refused to sit in her presence,
she said frankly, "Captain Ortiz, you
are our friend and. not our servant.
Rest and refresh yourself."
He bent upon one knee and kissed the
hand she offered, and without further
remonstrance obeyed her desire. Isabel
came in shortly, and with the t tact of
truelindness she made no remark but
simply took the chair beside Ortiz, and
said, in her usual voice and manner:
"Good morning, Captain. We are glad
to see you. Did you meet my brother
Thomas again?"
'‘‘ Senorita, God be with you I I have
not seen him. I was at Gelled.",
"Then you would see our brother
Juan ?"
"Si. The Senor Juan is in good
health and great happiness. - He sent
by my willing hands a letter.'
Perhaps also you 'saw his friend,
Senor Grant ?"
"From him, also, I received a letter,
Into your gracious care, Senorita, I de-
liver them."
"1 thank you for your kindness,
Captain. Tell us now .of the fortress..
Are the troops in good spirits ?"
"Allow me to fear that they are in

most of the men are very young. • They

his heart. But between writing letters
and sending them, there were in, those,
days intervals full of linpoesibilites.
Love then had to be taken on trust.
Rarely, indeed, could it send alsurances
of fidelity and affection. . . .
Jack's letter brightened the day; and
formed, a new topic of •conversation,
until Ortiz returned in the !evening.
His disgdise had 'enabled him to .linger
about the Plaza And monte table, and to
hear and observe all that ' wits going
on. -
"The city is enjoying itself; and
making money," he said, m re_ply to a
,
question from the Senora. "-Certainly
the San Antonians approve of 4' liberty;
but what would you do? In Rome one
does not quarrel with the Pope; in San
