Cadi arrested her Prince and charged
him With treason, the ramparts went

But this policy of the years passed in

it's animosities. Through the long
night which carried Esther upon SO

the bride path and .peopled the de-

The citadel of Cadi lies little way
beyond the ramparts upon the high
road to Barcelona. 1t was built by the
Moors seven hundred years ago upon
the summit of a precipitous cliff at
whose foot runs a tributary of the
river Ter. Styled impregnable for
many centuries it is now but relic Of
the Moorish occupation. of so little ac-
count in any scheme of nations de-
Tense that neither fort nor artillery de-
tends it. And yet the city is proud Of
this once goodly palace, and writers
descant upon the beauty of court and
fountain, and antiquaries delight in its
traceries. View it whence you will, it
dominates the valley, unlifting its
towers and battlements above the deep
abyss, and defying you at any distance
to say by what bride path horsemen
made it's gates in the days of long ago.

These fearsome sights Esther shut out
from her eyes with more than a wo-

with her husband defed all danger.
She had the will to run; the delay tor

him more sympathetic henceforth.
