He was within the room, but leaning against the 'open door, playing upon a mandolin: Robert -Worth smiled as he offered his hand to him. It . was impossible:not to smile at a youth so, handsome, and so - charming -a youth who had all- the ro- mance of the past in nanie,his borne, his picturesque costume; and. all the enchantinents of hbpe and. greet .enthu- siasms in his future. . . . "Luis, I am glad to see, you; and I felt year music as soon as I heard it." He was glancing inquiringly 'around the room at he spoke; and Antonia ans- wered the look: . • "Mother and Isabetare supping -with - Dona Valdez. There is to be a dance. I am waiting for you, father: - You must pet on your velvet vest." "And you, Luis r . ,. "1 do not go: I asked -the judge for the appointment. He refused me. Very . • well!

For, though the Americans were numer- iaallyfew,they were like the pinch of sat in a pottage -they gave the snap and savor to the whole community. Over this, Franciscan -Moorish :city the aun see with:am, incomparable glory one evening in i May, eighteen 1 thirty-five. The white, flat -roofed,_ terraced houses, each one ire its flowery court -end the dames and %takes of the Missions, with their gilded crosses, had 'a mirage -like beauty in the rare,. soft atmosphere, as if a dream of OM Spain had been ma- terialised' in - a wilderness of the New World. •' But human life in . all its essentials was in 4m Antonio, as iteeeas -and -has been in all ether cities since the world began. Women were in their homes, dressing and cooking, nursing their children an4 dreaming of their lovers. Men were inthe nia,rket places, buying and selling, talking of politics and an- ticipating War.' And yet in Rite of these fixedattributes-, San Antonio was ae city penetrated with romantic erg- ements, and constantly picturesque. On this evening as the hour of the Angelus- approached; the nerrow streets and the great squares were crowded With a humanity that assaulted' and Captured -the senses at once; so vivid and so varied were its component parts. A tall.. sinewy: American' with a rifle across his shoulder was paying some money to an Meiican in blue velvet and red silk, whose breast Was covered with little images of his favorite , saints. A party of Mexican officers were strolling to the Alamo; some in white linen and scarlet sashes, others glittering with color and golden ornaments. Side by side with these were monks of various orders: the„ •Franciscan in his blue gown and large white hat; the Capuch- in in his brown serge; the .Brother of Mercy in his white flowing robes. Add to these diversities, Indian peons in an- cient sandalg ; women dressed as in the days of Cortez and Pizarro, Mexican vendors of every kind, Jewish traders, negro servants, rancheros curvetting on their home, - Apache and . Camanche braves on spying expeditions; ond in this various crowd, yet by no means' of it, sinall.gronps of -Americans; 'watch- ful, silent, aimed` to the teeth : and the mind may catch a '`glimpse of what the the streets of San. Antonio were in the year of our Ziord eighteen hundred and thirty-five. 1 It was just before sunset that the city was'always et its gayest point. Yet, at the first toll of the Angelus, a Silence like that of enohantment fell upon it. As a mother cries hush to a nailer child, So the angel of the., city ' seemed in this evening bell . to -bespeak a minute for , 'holy thought. It was only -a minute, for with, the last note here was even an amens of tumult. The doors en -d windows of the better houses were to appear on the balconies, there was a /brown open, ladies began mound CI laughter and merry greetings and the. tiny cloud of the cigarette- in every direction. . But amid this sunset glamour of splen- • • another." •" Why did he refuse you " Who can toll?' bnt !Lute ehragged his shoulders expressively, and added, gave the office to Blas -Sangre." "Yes, it is so -naturally ; --Bias- Sangre IS rich, and when the devil of .money condescends to appear, every little devil rises up to do him homage." - "Let it Pass, Luis. Suppose' you sing me that last versdagain. It had e taking charm. The Music was like a boat rocking on the water." - - "50 it ought tosbe. I learned the words in New Orleans.

A sym- pathetic smile brightened her own face like a flame. :Then- he went sileptly away, and Antonia watched him dis- appear among the shrubbery. . - Come, Antonia! I em ready. mist not keep the Senor waiting too. long." I am ready alio,father." Her voice was almost sad, and Yet it had, a tone pf annoyance in it-" Don. Luis is "so im- prudent," she , said. "He is alwayts in • trouble. He is full of enthusiasms; he is as impossible as his favorite, Don Quixote.' "And I thank God, Antonia, thai. I can yet feel with him.

For many years theta had - never been any doubt in the mind of Robert . ,Worth as to the ultimate destiny Of Tee - 'as, though he WAS: by no Means an ad- venturer, and had come into the beau- tiful land by a -sequence of natural - and businesslike events. • He • was born -in New York. In that city he studied his profession, and in eighteen hundred and three began its practice in an .offieelnem- Contoit's hotel, opposite the City Park. One day he was iiimmoned.there to at - 'tend a sick man. His patient proved to be Don Jaime Urrea, and the rich • Mex - lean grandee Conceived a watip friend; ship for the young physician. ,At that • very time - France had just ceded to the United time, tlici• teed - tete,. of Louisiana, and its 'western boundary was a subject -about which Amereeans were then angrily disputing., They, asserted- that ib was the Rio Grande; but Spain, 3vho !naturally did not want Americans so Pear her own territory, denied the ' claim,and made the Sabine River the .dividingline. And as -Spain had been the original possessor of Louisiana, she voesidered' herself authority on the subject. ' ' • - • The cltiestiOn was on every tongue, - and it was but natural:that it should be • diecussed by Urrea and his physician. ' In feet, they talked Continually Of the disputedboundary, and : of Mexico. And Mexico was thee a ,name to conjure by: She was as yet a . part of Spain, and a sharer in all her 'ancient glories. She was . a land of romance, and her very name tasted on the lips, of gold, 'l and of silver, and of pre ous stoeee. Urrea easily persuaded the 'young man to return to Mexico with him. - • The following year there was a sus-, picioes number of American . visitors - and traders in Sen Antonio, and oiee of the Urrees was sent with a Considerable number Of troops to garelsoit the eiti. For Spain was well aware that, howevee statesmen mightsettle the question, the young and adventurous of the American people considered Texas United States territory, and would be well inclined to lake possession by force of ems, if'an- , opportunity offered. • Robert Worth, p.ocornpanied.
