' " Ah ! lie plays well -and he looks

They had advanced to where Den;
Luis was distiectlee visible. 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

arms, with that demonstrative air of in-
dependence, they call Ios American°.
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-

his shoulders expressively, and added,

"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

was almost sad, and Yet it had, a tone pf
annoyance in it-" Don. Luis is "so im-

is as impossible as his favorite, Don

"And I thank God, Antonia, thai. I

CHAPTER- II.
ANTONIA AND ISABEL.
He various changes of the World had known,
And some vicissitudes of luilnan fate, -
Still altering, never in a steady state: •
Good after ill', and after pain delight,
Alternate,Kke the scenes of day and night."
, "Ladies whose ttnght eyes-.
Rai influence."
"Bet who the limits of -that power shall trace,
Which a brave People into 111 can bring, -
- Or hide at will, for freedom combating •
By just re'aenge inflamed?"
..
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. General
Urrea to San Antonio; and the ' visit
was decisive as to his future life. The
cmintry enchanted him: - - He was smit-
e . .
ten with love for it, as men are smitten
with a beautiful face. -?.And the 'white -
indeeish cityhadone ipeeial 'chitin for '
him ---it seldom was quite free from .
Ameeicans. Among the medieval -
loungers in the narrow streets, it filled
his heart with joy to see at intervals
two or -three big men in -buckskin er.
homespun. And he ilia not muchiwon-
der that the Morisce Hispano -Mexican
feared these Anglo-Ameticani, and sus
pected them of an intention to. add
Texanto their names. - .'
His inclination to remain ine San *Ant.
