Pr. BRONSON. CHAPTER 1. THE RUFFLED MARQUIS. ‘Tsay I will, count!” cried the young Marquis de Sorbano, to his companion, the Count de Perez, as they walked along the Plaza Real—the great nice or lounging ground in the good old city of Toledo. The margnis was in his five-and- twentieth year; an only son; very proud, very sensitive, very rich, post from boyhood up, very much accustomed to have his own way The count, his companion, was a bachelor, nearer thirty-five than thirty, with a bold. com- manding air, a moderately good-looking face, of modest fortune, and with a fine reputation as a soldier, having had the honor, with a small hand- full of men, of thrice rescuing the standard of his native city, in a single battle, from the Moors. He was a laughing, careless, good-humored gen- tleman, with no particular object in life except to amuse himself, and was wit! partly from na- ture and partly from experience, somewhat of a philosopher. ~ Tsay 1 will, count!" cried the marquis, who, as the reader will readily understand, was con- siderably excited. ‘+1 will call him out and run him through. My honor demands it!*? The count laughingly shrugged his shoulders *: O, if your honor demands it,”” he returned, ‘1 have nothing more to say. Still, | would like to urge one little thouzht for your attention.” ** What is it ?"* asked the marquis * This: What if Juan. who, as I can testify— for he gave me a sword-thrust once for treading incautiously on bis shadow !—what if Juan, I say, | who = as dexterous a rapier as any man in Toledo—* ~ Except Leon, the fair widow's interrupted the marquis. * Of course—always except Leon,”’ laughed the count. “But what if Juan should refuse to be ma through? He is proud, and, if you will take | pains to remember, not over apt to follow any | ndding. He is impulsive, high-spirited, brooks ither threats nor counsel, is wiry, supple, and quick of eye and har AS for 1 f, though I have seen s ser , and am considered to possess some skill the use of the sword, I | should be careful to fee a priest for masses for my | !. ere I voluntarily went out to match iny olade | with Juan’<"* } But my honor demands it!’’ repeated the 7 upon whom this gentle admonition had noefect. Juan must meet me'’? *O, you will not bave to ask him twice,” | langhed the count. ‘ But. seriously, now—vyou wonld not fight a nan about a weman who would consider it a blessed thing if seven-eighths of her | suitors—Juan and yourself amongst them—would | only kill each other. and thereby retieve her of | their importunities ?** i ~ No matte; said the marquis, proudly. “1 will fight him “Ere you do,” said the count, as they ap- | proac: a noted tavern, the resort of the + fast’? | cavaliers of the day, ‘let's in to the ‘ Lodge of eur Blessed Lady,’ and try a flagon of « Cadiz.’ Since nothing I can say will drive this thought out of your head, let’x see if the generous grape will not be more successful.” The count, followed by his companion, pushed his way throogh the garden, which fairly humimed with the voices of a gay throng. to an unoccupied | table near the fountain, and after giving an order fortwo flagons of his favorite «« Cadiz.”’ he ran his clear dark eye rapidly around to observe his immediate neighbors, and perceiving an old ac- quaintance smoking a cigarette in a brown stud and occasionaliy moistening his lips with a meas- ure of wine. he smilingly muttered-— ~ Poor Lopez! he is meditating upon the lee- | tare that awaits him from the gray mare, and shing himself a free cavalier once more '*’ Stay '’’ said the marquis. Something is | going on !7? | He made this remark on noticing that there was 4 general movement on the part of the throng to- | wards the entrance of the garden. Looking in } that direction, he and the count beheld a short, | stout personage. with a small round head, a sugar- loaf hat, a turned up nose, small thin lips, a re- treating chin, found choclaecs, and short arms, standing, in searlet trunks and hose, on a large table between two alguazils, one of whom held in bis right band a long narrow rod. emblematic of | his ice as a constable, and in the other a small band-bell, which, at a sign from the short, | stout individual, who was none other than the city erier, he now rang to attract attention. “- Hear, hear, all ye people '”’ cried the crier, in a wheezy voice. Then turning to the alguazil on his right, he commanded him to «sound; where- | im that worthy raised a long narrow trumpet to | hislips, and blew a loud, shrill blast which grated om the ears of the crowd with a sharpness that ¢ smned many to shrink back with every nerve on | edge The crier, unfolding a roll of parchment, from which dangled a large circular biue seal, held it | up,and cried aloud in his wheezy tone, which scarcely heard through the din : ~ Hear, hear. all ye people! In the name of his | mst Catholic Majesty. Charles the Second, by the grace of God and the Spanish Monarchy, King of Spain. give audience '* = “In the name of the King :*’ shouted the algu- azul with the trumpet, in a voice of thunder. Every voice was hushed and every hat off in an instant The alguazil smiled triamphantly and glanced at the crier to proceed. | The latter cleared his throat with an air of im- portance that provoked a general smile, and then Tead ax follows * Whereas it has been represented to us that Don Garcia de Vega, whilom of this court, is liv- | ing concealed under a false name in ont good city of Toledo. this isto inform all to whom this, our Proclamation shall come, that whosoever is cog- mizant of his abiding place shall reveal the same to the judge of the elty tribunal, who is here y charged to deliver him, bound hand and foot ff needs be. into our royal hand And if any per- “om Of person. to whom this proclamation shall come, be aware of the abiding place of the raid | Don Garcia de Vega, and shall withhold his | knowledge of the same from the officer aforesaid, | smh person or persons shall fore tall he ort ey | Possess to the crown and his or their bodies be Pablicly burnt in the market place.

Tam trying to think,”? answered the count; but for the life of Icannot. The name is ting dimly in my memory, like a wrecked Pp on the sea; but J am unable to make out when ere. or muder what circumstances I first heard of it.

He turned, and beheld a young cava- lier, = about his own age and size, eyeing him sternly. ‘* Juan de Mendoza!” he exclaimed, “I have a word for you.

Toledo is built upon a rocky hill, nearly envi- roned by the Tagus, and is encompassed by a wall flanked with xinall towers, built by the Moors. The streets are narrow, and sloping in their descent towards the river with a steepness that makes running up a task of fatiguing diffi- culty, and running downa_ matter of great dan- er. The summit of the hill is very extensive in readth, and is by far the fairest portion of the city. There are all the chief public buildings ; here the gardens and hanging-grounds ; and here dwell the noblemen ee, merchants and other opulent citizens of note; the descending streets being left to the humbler classes, who re- gard with mingled hatred and envy the inhabi- tants of the plateau above them. Behind the pla- teau, or summit, the dark range of the Toledo inountains forms an imposing back-ground, through which stretches a long, sinuous high- road to Madrid. On the afternoon of the day of the commence- ment of this story, the viceroy, a small, slender, elderly personage, whose brow was silvered by the cares of office, went ou’, after the siesta, which commences at two and terminates at four o'clock, during which BP bape in Toledo is supposed to be sleeping off the heat of the sun, to take his usual quiet evening ride. On his return, which was just as the sun was going down be- hind the mountain, the horses, startled by the | fi apping of the gray hood of a passing friar, took fright and became unmanageable ; plunging for- with indescribable fary and swiftness. wrenching the carriage almost in pieces; P ing the driver headlong to the earth, and whi ing the footman down a deep gulley, from which he w: ken out for dead hing the plaza, the count beheld it swarming with terror-stricken runners, who were speeding with loud cries in every direction to avoid an approaching catriage, without postillion or footman, borne threateninzly along by two cold black, high-mettled Arabians, whose flashing eyes and blood-red nostrils and foam reeking sides announced death to whoever crossed their path. On they came, with the fleetness of th wi their small, light hoofs scarcely seemin; h the earth, and yet speeding over it wit the rapidity of light; their manes waving, their necks arched, and their heads proudly tossing in the startled air. +: Make way ! make way !? shouted the throng. fleecing to the right and left, and when the vehicle had passed by, bringing up behind and following after, as they previously had done before it. poadealy acry of horror rose from the multi- tude. Having cleared the plaza, the coursers were plunging down the steep street leading to the river A few moments, and the steeds and carriage would be in the Serene cennea she Beloved, beyond human reach ! Suddenly, as if by common consent, the specta- tors held their breath. Horses and carriage had reached the foot of the hill, and only a few yards intervened between thei and the water’sedge. The people were tly- ing in all directio and the Arabians, blind with their wildness, were rushing forward, with their precious freight, (whose small form was seen tossing from side to side of the vehicle,) over the open space, to certain destruction. An instant, and all would be over. Many, un- able to endure the appalling sight, closed their eyes and turned aside their heads. A moment later, a faint cheer rose upon the air. Looking down, the bapahre, 3 beheld sweeping down a neighboring street, with the rapidity of fight, a solitary horseman, his hat flying far behind him, and his long, dark hair, like his short shoulder cloak, Sgt behind him, upborne by the passing breeze. He was evidently aiming to head off the fiying Arabians, whose swiftness scarcely walled that of hisown gallant roan. Both reach- the base of the hill together, and only a few yards were outspread between them. But these few yards were everything. The rider buried his spurs in the flank of his steed, whom he also urged on with shrill and exciting cries. But in vain; the few yards still stood between him and the Arabians, who, like himself, were springing towards the river. An instant and they were in, and. amid a cry of horror from the spell-stricken crowd above and below, horses and carriage went down beneath the glittering waves whose white foam closed for a@ moment over them and then glittered evenly as before. But they had scarcely settled when the horse shouting boat, varlets !’’ piunged like a diver after pearls, into the water. The two words he had spoken recalled the presence of mind of the crews of the adjoining vessels, and yawls were hurriedly let down from the ships sterns and sides, and the oars rapidly inserted in the row locks, and the boats them- selves well manned, and hastily drawn towards the spot where the young man had gone down. Moment after moment went by and he appeared not, and the hearts of the multitude on the height shook as if with a death chill The rowers in the yawls, carefully watching every sign in the waves, instinctively formed a large circle around the spot where the Arabians had sunk, and all breathlessly awaited the re- sult. By and by anair bubble was descried; and the boats slowly, yet cautiously, closed in; and a brawny pote leaning over the gunwale, was ready in each to clasp whatever might happen to come up. Suddenly, there was an agitation of the waters near the centre of the circle, as if Herculean ef- forts for life were being made beneath, by manor beast A moment later, aloud shout from the sailors and f om those on the surrounding piers, rent the air, and was caught up by the great throng onthe heights, till the arches of the heavens seemed to ting ; for the young man, pale as a winding sheet, appeared above the surface, struggling violently with the viceroy on one arm, and holding up the other as asign for help. The struggle for his own and another's life must have been tierce, for on being relieved of his burden, he gave a convulsive throe, as if the last spark of his expiring energy had been con- sumed, and then laid, like one dead, upon the water. He was lifted, with the viceroy, into the boat and borne ashore. The latter, though pale, still breathed, and evidently had become insensible ere the Arabians had reached the base of the hill. In fact, it was a question with the crowd wheth- er, on waking, he would be conscious of having been inthe Tagus at all Both of the bodies were conveyed away—the one to the palace, the other to a neighboring con- vent. where the young man was ‘oon restored to consciousness, when, at his own request, he, though weak and pale, was permitted to go forth | unattended. He modestly insisted on not giving his name, selected an unfrequented street, an quietly made his way home. {To BE CONTINUED IN OUR Next.) ———— 7 A letter from Bartlett, N.
