the awful visitation had fallen with
crush 'ng weighs on the heads of those
who had been most eager for their
blood. The prisoners indeed, were for
gotten in the dreadful crisis. When
the crowd had dispersed the Marquis
of Elvas caught up LeOnOTa in his
strong aims, and bore her, by circuit
OUs route, TO the city, and, threading
his way through the Wild debris of the
city, eGched in safety, with his prC2i-
OUs burden, her fathers house, which
had in a great measure e~caped the
general wreck.

which the whole household WelcOm j

Cdly from tlf2 very jaws Of horrible
death. But their feelings of unRllOyed
pleasure at her deliveTence soon became
mingled with apprehension lest the Of
ficeT3 of the inQuisiti0n might institute
q search for the prosecuted victims who
had for a time, escaped their vengeance.
PreparatiOns were commenced for i'm
mediate flight. The Marquis, whose
situation was now as full of danger as
even that of i mora, WOS soon ready
for any road, no matter whore 1t might
conduct him, so it placed him outside

would also be attended by .Aithfrl
servant of the family, none Of her ful-
mediate relatives daring to bear her
company through fear of the C0rse-
quences that would attend such q step.
1t was determined to push rapidly
across the cOunt"y to the neighb ,ring
kingdom of Spain; and the Marquis
felt satisfi | that If they oor'd reach
the mountains in safety the danger Of
arrest would be slight. Should the au-
thoritiC~, however, be on the alert, he
new there would be great danger in
to leave the city.
Their situation, at best, was full of
peril. M withstand'ng the terrible
that had befallen the city,
and had so miraculOusly presel we'd Lc-
Onora l,Om the stake, iC was vain TO
SUI pose that the Church, fOiled in it's

fail to bring the condemned to the
flames il rearrested. While prepara-
tiOrs were going forward for their flight

terrible calamity that had visited the
city, and which he supposed must have
quite overwhelmed family SO terribly
afflicted by the dreadful fate of be-
loved daughter. He was soon ju-
formed of the escape Of LeonOra, and
Of the hasty preparations that were
mP king for their flight. 4 fer listen
ing attentlvely to the proposed arrange

and remained silent for q few moments, |
and then expressed IS fears lest the |
project would miscarry. " feel quite |
