The bells in the steeple of the litt.
town of Meds had jut chimed mid

omcer was leaning on the parapet of the
long terrace which bordered the ardes
of the Chateau de Mends, seemingly
plunged in a mere prombund meditation
than was compatible with the mare.

seemed as thegh the gravel of the path

a woman. TZi hhead he erno

the xtrdnr qlo of the ocean,
and there, lI a beheld such a

silvery moonlight, a Beet of glit

tried to convince himself it was an op.
ticl deldioml wrought by the vagaries
of the waves and the moonligt.
At this moment a hoarse voice pro
nounced his name, and turning, he saw
the head of the soldier who had aoom
patled himto the chateau slowly ridnng
through the breach.
"Is it you, commander?"
"Yes, what is it?" he mid in a low
voice, warned to seerecy by some pre
sentiment of evil
"Those beggars there are wriggling
about like so many worms, and 1 have
hastened to communieate my observa- I

"By all means," :sid the mqor.
"I have just been following one of the
men aeom the chateau who proceeded in
this direction with a lantern in his
hand. Now a lantern looks devilishly
uspeious! This isno time of night for
a C(rtian to light up his tapers. 'They
want to make a meal of us,' aid Ito my
self and followed at t his bee. So, ma- a
jor, that is how I decovered a certain
pile ofghoets ona block not three yards
hem here."
A terrible cry whkh ranc through the
village hae interrupted him, and, as a
lurid glow suddenly illuminated the_
orm of his commander, the poor grena- -
dier fell with a hbullet in his head.
Not ten feet away, a pile of straw and
dry wood was fsminglike a onaeration. I
A deathly silence broken only by low
pgrom had replaced the laughter and
musreofthe fte. A the thunderof a
cannon echoed over the ocean's plain, a 1
cold swea starred on the young ofcer's I
brow. Standing there. swordless, he
knew that his soldiers had perished,and
that the English were about to land. 1
He mw himself dlshoored if he lived;
arraigned before a councdl of war; then,It
meaurlng with his eye the depth ofthe
rocky valley at his feet, he drew back
for the spring when Clar doe Ianesw

"Fly r" she cried, "My brothers are

As her slight hands phed him, the 1

The general took all necessary precau
tions for the safety of his troops, provid
ed for the safety of the country, and re
fused to lodge the soldiers in rivtea
houes. After he had encamped them
he secended to the chateau, of which he
" took military poemsion. All the mem
I bers of the De Leganes family, with their
servants, were kept in close custody,
f bound with strong cords, and imprison
ed in the grand salon where the ball had
i taken place the night before, and whose
r lofty windows opened upon the terrace
that overlooked the town. The staffwas
established in a neighboring gallery,
where the general first held counsel as
I to the measures to be taken in opposing
the debarkation of the fleet; then, after
having dispatched an aid-decamp to
Marshal. Ney, and established batteri
along the coast, they turned their atten
tion to the prisoners. Two hundred
s Spaniards, whom the inhabitants had
delivered up, were immediately taken
out upon the terrace and shot. After
this military execution, the general com
manded the erection of as many gallows
as there were persons in the salon, and
sent for the hangman of the town.
Major Marchaund, profiting by the time
which was to elapse before dinner, went
to visithe pisoers. Soon afterward
he sought the general.
"I hasten," he said, in an agitated
voice, "to ask a favor."
"Yon I" exclaimed the general, in a
I tone of bitter irony.
"Alas l" said Victor, "it is but a sad
grace. The marquis, seeing the erection
of the caffolds, has hoped you will

Dinner was served. The officers t at

had sharpened. One only of their num

the banquet. After s long hesitation he
entered theaslon where mourned the

Motionless soldiers kept guard, while

gave the order to release captives,
and went himself to release the cords

on Victor, as though to arouse anew in
Juanito's heart a hatred of the French.
"Have courage," said his brother Phil
ippe, "or else our almost royal race will
be extinct."
Sodenly Clarose. The group th"
had formed around Juanito parted, and
the girl, rebellious in her good aume,
saw, standing erect before him, her fged
father, who said, with st: solem nt:
"Juanmto, I command y"
Seeing the young count immovable,
the father fell upon his knees. Invol
untarily, Clara, Manual, and Philippe
imitated him. They held out supplicat
ing hands toward ham who was to save
the family from oblivion, and seemed to
echo their father's words.
"My son, will you be so lacking in
Spani'h courage and true sensibility?
Do you wish to keep me longer at your
feet? What right oave you to consider
your life and your suffterings?" Then,
springing to his feet, and fixing a terrible
base on the marquise, he cried: "Madame
is this my son?"
"He consents," murmured the mother
in despair. as she saw a movement of
Juanito's eyes.
Maraquit, the younger daughter, knelt
at her mother's feet, embracing her with
her slender arms; and seeing that she
wept hot, bitter tears, her little brother
Manel camhe and reproached her grave
y. At this moment the chaplain of the
castle entered, and, quickly surrounding
him, they led him to Juanito.
Victor, unable to endure the scene,
and reassuring Clara with a gesture,
hastened to make a last attempt on the
general, whom he found in the midst of
he tfeast, drinking with his oficers, in
the best of humors and holding high
revel
An hour afterward, a hundred of
Menda's most respected citisens were in
vited on the terrace, by the general's
orders, to be witnemsses of the execution.
A detachment of soldiers was Iplaced
near to maintain order among them; and
as they stood under the ibbets where the
marqui's retainers hd been hung the
pemsnt's heads almost touched the feet
of these m rs.
Thirty feet sawy the block stood, with
its gulktinn ife.
In a few momonts,through the most
prolouad silence, there wre heard the
irregular tread of several persons, the
measured march of a picket -guard and
the light rattle of their g The
dif ntsounds were mingled with the
joyous clamor of the officersfeast, as but
late the mulde of the ball-room had
drowned the _preparation of a bloody
treachery. Alleyes were turned toward
the castle, as the noble family advanced
with perfectself-poasession. Every brow
was calm and severe. One man alone,
tremblin and ple, leaned on the arm
of the priest, who lavished all the conso
lations of religion upon him-the one
who was to live.
The headsman understood, as did all
other, that Juanite had accepted his
office for a day. The old marquis and
his wife,Clara, Maraquita, and the two
brothers, knelt a few paces from the
fetal spot, to which Janaito was conduct
ed by tbe priest. When he reached the
block the es eutinerm tchang him by

"Spaiards, who tood firmly, with ne

Clara was the firstto spring toward her
brother. "Junito." she cried, "have

At that moment the hurried steps of a
man echoed through the silence, and

seemed appealingto theaword. A dead
