of Ronla! He whose exploits wore rather the
semblance Of romance than the color of reali-

so sanguinary, that il was computed, from the
hour he devoted himself to ayenpe his broth

had been slaia by the bands he commanded!'
+ While O'Conner recollected the ruthless
character Of tho dreadful chief, all marvel at
the scene Jpon the bridge ceased; for to stab
an enemy who was in his way, would not be

Doubtless you are both hungry and fa,,gued,'
said the Solder, resuining his conversation
with the Guerilla; our bivouac is hard by, and.

Come, SAID the soldier; and leading the
way, he introduced tho weary Spaniard to the
hut, struck light, and placed before him The

Guerilla ate like one who had been for many
hours fasting, fnisasd flask of wine, and
then, apologsing for keeping his hos, from, his
repose, stretched himself beside the soldiers

ofsecurity. dropped into sound sleep. which
remained unbfokcn unit! the ieusiNee disturbed
the bivouac at day-break. One circumstance
struck O'Connor as being remarkable. Weari-

his cloak. he took a crIclfx ON his bosom,
and repeated his prayers devon,ly. A hand,

II was dusk. and the few hours while slept
had made frighlfuI change in the condition
and temper Of the soldiery. In the morning
they were obedient to their officers, and pre-
served the semblance Of subordination; now
they were in a state Of furious intoxica,ion,
discipline was forgotten, and the splendid
troops Of yesterday had become fierce and
rabble, dead 10 every touchof hu-

passion that can bru,aliso The man. The town
was In horrid confusion, and on every side
