"The jealousy of the Spaniards, and the severe
penalties enacted against such of the eXles as should
return precuded Muey Hassam from all opportun
ties of recovering his treasure. He died, entrustng
the secret to his only daughter, who, having grown
up at Seville, was perfectly acquainted with the
spot under the charm. Fatima married, and
soon left widow, with daughter whom she
taught Spanish, hoping to make her pass for ma
tive OF our country. Urged by the approach OF
poverty, which sharpened the desire to make use
of the secret entrusted to her, Fatna with her
daughter Zulema, embarked on board a corsair
and landed secretly in costume of the pea
santry, and having assumed Christian names, both
mother and daughter made their way to Seville on
foot, or by any occasional conveyance which offer
ed on the road. To avoid suspicion, they gave out
that they returning from the performance OF
a vow to celebrated image of the virgin
Mogner. l will not tire you with details as to the
means by which Fatima obtained place for her
self and daughter in the family then occupying her
own paternal house Fatlma's constant endeayors
to please her master and mistress succeeded to the
utmost of their wishes the beauty and innocence
of Zueima then fourteen, needed no studied eff
forts to obtain the affection OF the whole family.
"When Fatima thought the time was come she
prepared her daughter for the important and awful
task Of recovering the concealed treasure of which
she had constantly talked to her since the child
could understand her meaning The winter cane
on the family moved to the first floor, as usual
and Fatima asked to be allowed one of the ground
floors for herself and Zuleima. About the middle
of December when the periodical rains threatened
to make the Guadalquiver overflow its banks, and
scarcely soul stirred out after sunset, Fatima pro-
vded with rope and basket, anXiously awaited
the hour Of midnight, to commence her incarnation.
Her daughter stood trembling by her side in the
porch to which they had CROPPED their way in the
dark The bell Of the cathedral clock, whose
sound you are well aware, has most startling eff
feet in the dead silence Of the night toed the hour,
and the melancholy peal of supplication (Plegarn)
followed for about two minutes. All now still,
except the wind and rain. Fatima unlocked with
some difficulty the cold hands of her daughter out
of hers, struck fnt and lighted green taper not
more than an inch long, which she carefully shell
tered from the wind in pocket lantern. The
light had scarcely glmmered on the ground, when
the pavement yawned close by the females
