cried that I almost lost use of my twines.
But a moment of quiet restored mo.
Tho rnftlans who had attacked the en

been called away to some other work of
destruction. H was a solemn scene
that I saw In the light of the moon
whoso brilliant disk was sometimes
covered with clouds and then throwing
a ray of light upon the white veils of
the sisters.
I was very anxious for my friend, and
ready to run all risks to rejoin her,
when some yolees foil upon my ears

I struck him a despairing blow. Tho
door onened Into a room where tho
biers, pick axes, stools, and all the In
truments of burial were stored. Tho
door of this somlor place was worm
eaten, and yielded, but my pursuer had
tlmo to see mo distinctly, and I saw
that, although I had closed tho door,
he would soon force an entrance and
seize me.
CIIAI'TEH VIII.
DKUVKKANC'E.
Though I feared that I should stumble
among the coffins, I hastened on, and I
saw a glimmering of light through the
cracks of a door at the extremity of tho
chamber. Having reached this door I
was unable to open It, and I was hImhiI
to abandon myself to the most terrible
despair, not knowing to what Insult I
should bo iCX pom d on the part of tho
man whom I hoard coming Uthtnd me
when I recognized Instantly his voice
as that of a well bred man, tl ough the
accent was strange, as he pronounced
these words:
"The lady with the kotted veil has
nothing to fear from hlra who would
speak to her."
"Heaven be praised who has sent mo
a liberator!", I cried, extending my
hand to the stranger with a feeling of
perfect confidence.
"A Ulwrator, mndame!" replied ho
"we ought notj to hoe for too much
How shall we got away froir this
place?"
lie struck the door with so much
force that It trembled but It did not
give way.
"That Is not possible," said ho; "If
only we could reach tho garden."
I propose d to return, and I tried to
find another way, expressing to hlra my
frightful argulsh for the safety of my
friend Pauline.
"He asiured, Madame, she Is in
safety."
mn ociore ne was atue to soy an
other word, the flame of a torch lighted
tho room, showing us the pick-axes.
spades, and some bones heapod In the
middle of the room, and a colli n whose
shadow reached even to us. Iiy the
same ray of light I saw the features of
the one who had found me In so slngu
lar a place, and I had no doubt he was
the brother of Clarbso. But I did not
speak to him about bis sister, for
could not mention this sad subject to
him; besides I did not have the time,
for suddenly he seized me by the hand
as he had perceived an opening at the
left extremity of the room, and a way
opposite to the one where we had en
tered and towards which he drew me,
We were scarcely in the shadow when

We did t.ot lUt n any h rgt r, and we
did net reuisln to sur Ives
helher tlu iivponltUn f firing the
bier had In en rxwntitl, but mounting
the statrea silently, we found our
mOvimi U-fore a grated window fselng
the wtunls siul above the large trin's.
' I know where w are, now," .ld
my companion. If we can Uave by this
window, we shall Im in the forest. I
know jHrfeclly all tho surroundings of
this hmiso too well U bodieelved, for,"
said he, "I have oftened examined
them. This window Is not so high
1hvo the ground as to prevent our
leaving this way, It Is the favorable
time for tho miserable ones to leave
this place.
Then lolztng the gratings, ho suc
ceeded after many efforts In tearing
them away, and he threw thera down
with many of the brick and much of
the mortar, making in this way an
otM-nlng Bufllclently large for us to go
out.
"Now, niadamo, some courage and
activity."
Saying this ho passed through the
opening and Bolzlng a branch of tho
nearest tree ho glided to the around; a
second after he looked up to me.
"Tho distance Is nothing, madamo,"
said ho. And ho showed me how I
could pass through the breach, promli-
lng to catch mo In such a way as to
prevent my falling.
"You aro light, inadnmo, have no
fear. Remember that, strange as your
situation may appear, you ore with a
man who holds himself hound to servo
you even to the laHt drop of his blood,
and to treat you with oil possible
honor."
There was no time to lose. I had no
doubt of his honor, and I trusted him,
and though I urn not able to toll just
how It was done, I found myself a mo
ment later upon the grass outsldo the
walls and supported by the brother of
Claiisse.
"A moment to get breath," salil be,
"and then we must hurry."
Offering mo his arm and seizing my
hond he drew mo through tho long
grass, thorns and bushes.
I was not able to speak I did not
have any strength; but h, accustomed
as he was to a life of action, was not In
the least fatigued.
"Unfortunately," said ho, "wo have
the stream between us and the rendeZ'
vousofour friends; but there Is atone
place a plank over which wo can crocs.
Meanwhile, let us keep In the shadow
of tho woods until we have crossed the
streotr, lest we should be discovered.
If they were to tlnd out tho way by
which we fled they would pursue us.
Take courage," he added, grasping my
arm firmly, "with God's help we shall
entirely escape them."
He consoled me thus whllo ho hur
ried mo on without giving mo a chance
to look behind me until wo arrived at
the place where tho plank was thrown
across tho stream. Tho path by which
we had come was overgrown with brush
and thorns, and so damp that my slip
pers were pierced andsoakrd. Ilutl
paid no attention to that. All my fear
was that, tho mayor might follow us.
Tho hill was covered with gross, and at
some distance from the plank had been
erected a chapel to tho virgin, orna
mented with an altar and a statue.
This building had formerly been very
brautlful, but for somo years it had
borne the marks of age and decay and
abandonment.
We found the door of this chapel
open; tho rest we hod noticed in climb
ing the hill. We hastened to pais
through, when all at once wo heard a
voice which seemed to come from tho
foot of the valley, on the other side of
the brook. We could not distinguish
the words, but we wero afraid of being
discovered if we ventured upon the
bill where the moon shone in all her
brilliancy, and soweentered the chapel
to await tho passing of a cloud over her
lum'nous disk. Tho arrangement of
the clouds at this time, was It the re
suit of chance? No! no! Docs any'
thing happen by chanco?
We kept silent, listening to the least
sound with the keenest attention; but
everywhere the most tranquil quiet
reigned. We learned after that the
furious populaco were at this time oc
cupied in examining the dungeons of
the convent and plundering the subter
ranean chapel; that Is why the sounds
did not pass outside of the walls. The
wind which groaned in the trees, the
murmur of the brook, the interrupted
cry of the owl, were the only sounds
which broke the silence. We saw con
tinually the rays of the moon resting
upon the threshold of the chapel, and

ore t had time to calm my fright,
which was more lively than I can tie-
wr If, a door opend In the floor, and
thiMv came from It light which filled
the w hole ehapr-1.
If 1 wero to say In that mom, nt, I
believed that bell had opened to swal
low me, the reader would bp aatonlshed :
hut will lie be lens astonished In learn
ing that Father Joachim emerged from
this opening, drawing af'er him, or
rather carrying a sister of the order of
Miserleorde? Ho was followed by the
Jesuit, disguised as a monk and carry
ing a torch. Surprise held us In our
place. The priests believed themslves
to ho alone. As the Jesuit carefully
closed the door. Father Joachim, hav
ing placed the sister, who had evidently
fainted, upon tho pavement, replaced
the wooden altar above tho opening In
tho floor.
All this occupied but a moment and
as the sister began to retrain her senses
andtorHlso herself, tho priest seized
her by the arm, and shaking her with
a barbarous violence, he cried:
"You have already cost us sufficiently
dear! Do not think to escape us now.
In the dun coons of the inquisition there
s no pity."
He was about to go on, when, drog-
glng herself to her knees, the poor sis
ter joined her hands, begging for grace
and beseeching him to execute her
rather than to remove her to the in
quisition.
I could not see her features as her
veil concealed them. but. I thought of
Aanes, not, doubting that it was tho
unhappy creature of whom I had heard
the blshoo speak. I turned my eyes
from thece horrible priests and rested
them upon my noble protector. I no
ticed that he trembled, not with fear,
but with ImpoMenee, while ho listened
to the words of the nun. Then bound
Inc from his hldln? place like a lion
from his den, he seized the Jesuit and
threw him to the earth, a"d extln
gulshed the torch, so that, It wos Im
possible for the priests to know the
number of their assailants. Tho fall of
the Jesuit was terrible; hlsbodv made
a terrlnio sound. I an not know
whether he recovered himself. My
companion then assailed the confessor.
I heard them exchanging violent
blows. This was a frightful experience;
but victory was finally decided In favor
of my noble friend, nnd Isnw the father
go away from the chapel, flying to tho
other side of the brldtro.
"Now!" cried M. Beaumont, "now let
us hasten! We must hurry to sove our
lives, for there are, doubtless, many of
these demons near here."
"Madame, follow me," said he to me,
and at the same time passing his arm
around the waist of the sister ho pressed
her forward.
She did all she could, fecblo she
was; nnd so he helped her toward the
summit of tho hill, whllo I followed
closely behind.
At length, having reached the sum
mlt In the midst of tho firs, our guide
called out in aloud vnlce:
"Is everything all right, Fdward?"
"Everything hs gone well," replied
M. Heaumost; "prepare the horses
William, and send somebody hero to
help us."
We advanced a llttlo farther, and wo
met somo rugged mountaineers who
lifted tho sister and carried her rapidly
to the right of tho rendezvous; it was
the cabin of a shepherd at the top o
the hill. I remained alone with Edward
Beaumont, for I was not able to follow
the mountaineers; tnen no askr a me
who that poor persecuted person could
be. "It Is not possible that it Is my
sister -it Is not possible!" he said with
a sigh.
'Alos! no!" I responded, "that Is not
possible Our sweet Clarlsso rests in
peace. But this woman is without
doubt Agnes.
ThoreuKn I recounted what I kaew
of this poor creature. He sighed deeply
and said: ,
"All Is certainly for tho Istst. But
when your friend told me this very
evening, that I could not hopo to seo
my Emily upon earth, I received In my
heart a terrible blow. I hope that with
time I shall become able to thank God
for the part that He has done in this
matter, without any mixture of bitter
ness which now fills my heart, and
which even diminishes the joy of hay
lng been able to deliver this unfor
tunate victim from their cruelty."
Some moments after I fell into the
arms of my well beloved Paulino, who
was transported with joy at seeing me
but she was impatient to know how we
found ourselves finally united, and from
whence came thU increase of our num

"Did you know Clarlsso, my sister?"
id Paulino to her.
She repeated tho name In a half tone
and then murmured : "I ought to know

"Where did you make her acquaint

The sister made no response,
"Was she with you in tho dungeon?'1
continued my friend.
"Who knew hor?" responded the sla
ter. "Who l able to tell all the hor
rible things which wero there? Death
is found there."
"Whore Is Clarlsso at prosent?" con
tinued Pauline.
"They told mo that she was in her
tomb under tho sod," said she. "Did
they not bury her?"
"What do they call you, my sister?"
said Paulino. "Aro you called Agnes?"
"I have no narno," replied the nun;
"they have torn my name away; they
have destroyed my memory."
She spoke in a low tone; then all at
once she gave a piercing cry, and clasp'
lng Edward's arm, said:
"0 my good sir! remove mo! they
wish mo to confess! they want me to
tell all! Tell them to tear away those
robes and veils. They have como to

"It Is useless," sold Edward, turning
to mo; "theso savages have destroyed
