Indian horses nnd mules proceeding to

way. The two travelers had seated them
selves again at a corner of the table,
opposite one another, nnd were dumb and
motionless as statues. At length the per

-tmhalf nnd that of his companion struck
the table twice, nnd the landlord hurried
up nt this summons.

"That concerns Cifrumilla."

"In that case I am glad."
"Glad of what, my dear Antonio?"

Valentine smiled.

And under the weight of the deep emo
tion that crushed him, the hunter hung
his head down and stifled a sob.
"Koutonepi," said Curumilla In a hol
low voice, "remember that you have
sworn to avenge our brother."
The hunter drew himself up as if stung
candor nnd Innocence of youth, combined
with tne laughing expressions of n board
er spoiled by an Indulgent governess.
Dona Helena was standing n little out
side the nrbor, like n vigilant sentry care
fully watching lest tho conversation be
tween tho Mother Superior and her com
panion, shoilld be disturbed.
"Sister Redemption Is coining this way,
holy mother," Doun Helena said nt this
moment.
At a sign from tho Mother Superior,
Donn Anltn withdrew to the other end of
the bench on which she was seated, fold
ing her arms on her chest.
"Arc you looking for our mother, sis
ter?" Dona Helena asked n rnthcr elder
ly lay sister, who was looking to tho right
and left as If really seeking somebody.
"Yes, sister," the lay sister answered,
"I wish to deliver n mcssago with which
I am Intrusted for our mother."
"Then enter this nrbor, sister, and
you will find her roposlng there."
Tho lny sister entered tho arbor, ap
proached the Mother Superior, stopped
three paces off, folded her arms, and look
ed down nnd wnited.
"What do you desire, daughter?" the
Mother Superior asked her.
"Your blessing in the first plnce, holy
mother," tho lay slstor answered.
"I can give It you, daughter; nnd now
whnt mcssago have you for me?
"Holy mother, a gentleman of lofty
bearing, called Don Scraplo de la Donda,
wishes to speak with you privately."
"Remain here till the oracion, my chll
drcn; converso together, but be prudent
she said.
Then after giving Dona Anita a part
ing kiss, the Mother Superior went awny,
sorely troubled in mind at this visit from
a man she did not know, and whose name
she heard for the first time. When she
entered the parlor the abbess examined
the stranger with a hnsty glnnce. On
perceiving her he rose from his chair and
bowed respectfully. This first glance wns
favorable to the stronger, in whom the
reader has doubtless already recognized
alentine Guillois.
"Pray resume your seat, cabellero,"
the abbess said to him, "if your con
versation is to last any time; we shall
talk more comfortably while sitting."
Valentine bowed, offered tho lady a
chair, and then returned to his own.
"Senor Don Sernpio de la Ronda was
announced to me," the lady continued
after a short silence.
"I am that gentleman, madam."
"I am at your orders, cabellero, and
ready to listen to any communication
you may have to make."
"Madam, I am merely commissioned
by the Minister of the Home Department
to deliver this letter, to which I have
a few words to ndtL"
While uttering this sentence with ex
quisite politeness Valentine offered the
abbess a letter bearing the ministerial
arms.
"Pray open tho letter, madam," he add
ed, on seeing that she held it in her hand
unopened ; "you must be acquainted with
its contents to understand the meaning
of the words I have to add."
The abbess, who in her heart was 1m
patient to know what the minister had
to say, offered no objection and broke
the seal of the letter. On reading it a
lively expression of joy lit up her face.
"Then," she exclaimed, "His Excel
lency deigns to grant my request."
"Yes, madam ; you remain, until fresh
