wishes TO speak with you privately
"Remain here till the %oracion, my hill
dren' converse together, but be prudeue,'
she said.
Then after giving Dona Anita a part
ing kiss, the Mother Superior went away,
sorely troubled in mind at this visit from
a man she did not know, and whose name
she heard for the first time. When she
entered the parlor the abbess examined
the stranger with q haSty glance. On
perceiving her he rose from his chair and
bowed respectfully. This first glance was
favorable to, the stranger, in whom the
reader has doubtless already recognized
Valentine Guillois.
Pray resume your seat. cabcllero,'
the abbcss said to him. "if your con
versation is to last any time; we shall
talk more comfortably while sitting
Valentine bowed, offered the lady a
chair, and then returned to his own.
'Senor Don Serapio de Ia Ronda was
announced to me" the lady continued
after "A short silence.
Il am that gentleman, madam
II am at your orders, cabellero, and
ready TO listen to any communication
You may have to make"
Madam. I am merely commissioned
by the Minister of the Home Department
to deliver this letter, to which | have
a few words to add
While uttering this sentence with ex-
quisite politeness Valentine offered the
abbess q letter bearing the ministerial
arms.
Pray open the letter, madam" he add
ed, on seeing that she held it in her hand
unopened you must be acquainted with
it's contents to understand the meaning
of the words 1 have to add"
The abbess, who in her heart was i'm
patient to know what the minister had
to say. offered no objection and broke
the seal of the letter. On reading it a
lively expression of joy lit up her face.
''Thcn.' she exclaimed, His Excel
,ency dc!gns to grant my request"
YES, madam: you remain, until fresh
orders, responsible for your young charge.
You nave only to deal with the minister
in the matter; and" he added, with &
purposed stress on the words, "in the
event of Gen. Guerrero, the guardian of
Dona Anita. trying to force you into sur
rendering her to him, you are authorized
to conceal the young lady,"
"Oh. %senor.' she answered her eyes
filing with tears of joy, pray thank His
Excellency in my name for the act of
justice he has deigned to perform"

entine said, as he rose, 'and now that l
have delivered my message, permit me to
take leave of you, while congratulating
myself that I was selected by His Elk
cellency the minister to be his interme-
diary with YOU"
At the moment when Valentine left the
convent Carnero entered it, accompanied
by a monk whose hood was pulled down
