women and prisoners; to whom might be ulded the Indians carrying the baggage and vamuaition, and laboriously dragging the yuns. Tne darkness and the rain beaten into he faces of the sufferers by the wind, made the keeping order impossible; at each step the between individuals and between the iivisions grew wider and wider. After cross- ing two or three of the bridges, a general con- egan to prevail; the officers, in dread failed to call out, and the sol- bending low to protect their faces, and .cir arms or their treasure, marched silence, indifferent to all but them- oon what was at first a fair column i ler, became an irregular procession; Here iwi of all the arms mixed; there a t

So, not a man in all the colamn—not af cavalier, not a but felt himself oppressed by the cir- cumstances of the situation ; those who, only that afternoon, had charged like lions along that very street now yielded to the indefinable effect, add were weak of heart even to timid-

ity. The imagination took hold of most of them, especially of the humbler class, and, lining the way with terrors all its own, re-

duced them to the state when panic rushes in to complete what fear begins. They started at the soughing of the wind ; drew to strike h other; cursed the rattle of their arms, the hoof-beats of the horses, the rumble of the carriage-wheels ; on the houses, vaguely de- tined against the sky, they saw sentinels ready to give the alarm, and down the intersecting streets heard the infidel legions rashing upon them; very frequently they stumbled over corpses yet cumbering the way after the day’s fight, and then they whispered the names of saints, and crossed themselves: the dead, always suggestive of death, were never so much so to them.

And so, for many squares, across canals, past palaces and temples, they marched, and nothing to indicate an enemy ; the city seemed deserted.

“Hist, Senor!” said Ducro, speaking with bated breath. ‘‘Hast thou not heard of the urmy of unbelievers that, in the night, while resting in their camp, were by a breath put to final sleep? Verily, the same good angel of the Lord hath been here also.”

‘‘Nay, compadre mio,” replied Cortes, bending in his saddle, ** 1 cannot so persuade myself. If the infidels meant to let us go, the going would uot be so peaceful. From some house-top we should have had their bar-

While there, waiting for the bridge to be brought forward, he heard from the lake to his right the peal long and loud of »# conch- shell. His heart, in battle steadfast as a rock, throbbed frster; and with raised shield and close-grived sword, he listened, as did all with him, while other shells took up and carried the blast back to the city, and far out over the lake.

In the long array none failed to interpret the sound aright; all recognized a signal of attack, and halted, the slave by his prolong, the knight on his horse, each one as the moment found him. They said not a word, but listened; and as they heard the peal multiply countlessly in every direction —now the first

The play of the wind upon the lake seemed somewhat neutralised by the density of the rain; still the waves splashed lustily against the grass-grown sides of the causeway; and while Sandoval was wondering if there were many, whe, in frail canoes, would venture upon the waste at such a time, another sound, heard, as it were, under that of the conche, yet too strong to be confounded with wind or surging water, challenged his attention; then he was assured ‘‘Now, gentlemen,” he said, ‘‘get ye ready; they are coming.
