It was in the year 1847 when a small force was left to hold Puebla, that for tuee oast my lot to remain there fur gar rilon duty, while the army marched to deeds of valor and glory. I well remember how’ sadly we. watched the, losg blue lines disappear on the road that leads to the capital, and how’we de precated the necessity that compelled us to play behind to keep the rear open fop out* advancing comrades. We had no idea then that we should have plenty of fighting on our bauds, and be forced to stand a sslge that at one time looked as ■if It would be terminated by the heavy holy of Mexican troops (that surround ed!uB) swarming oyer hastily erected breastworks. , For some time after the departure of General Bcott we had , matters pretty luuch our own way, and were apparently m good terms with the populace. Many title courtesies were constantly passing between us, and we began to congratu late ourselves on our comfortable situa tion,, when a rumor ran through the garrison that a very large cavalry force of the enemy had appeared in a town to tho , southward, some fourteen miles distant. No one could tell from whence the re port .emanated, and tho fact that our spies (and we had an efficient corps in our pay,) had given the Colonel com manding no such Information, caused us, after a few days had elapsed, to doubt the rumor, and ultimately to banish it from our minds. Be we resigned ourselves to security, and went on with “kino and monte,’' smoking cigarettes and drink ing “pulque,” with as little concern aa If we had been at home In one of our own cttleß. I had k—- o‘Ok witu a low type of fe ver at Very Cruz, when I arrived in Pu ebla I had permission to live for a while at a private house instead of joining mess and taking quarters In barracks, Tho woman at whoso house I made my temporary home, was named Qarcfa, and had a husband at the time serving In the .Mexican ranks; but 1 was not aware of thefacl. Senora Garcia had two daugh ters, Antonia, the eldest, was about six teen years, and Carmen, the youngest, was six. She also had a nephew (oh her husband’s side) named Angel, who lived In her family. This young boy was ap parently twelve years old, and quite an Intelligent lad. It didn't take me long to make myself at, borne, and I tblnk I had tho good will of the family to the very lash In deed, as far os related to Antouio, she gave me the most ample proof of her dis interested friendship. Bhe was a frank, free girl, without a particle of prudery in her nature. She hue day laughingly warned me not to ■fail in love with her, as she was destined for convent life.. “I should have taken the veil ore this,” she.remarked ; “ hut this unhappy war ol yours determined me to stay v/ith my mother until peace cornea, then I must leave them all.” “ But why do you adopt this life, do you prefer it ?” I asked. “X cannot say that it is my choice,” she replied; “but then you seel made a Vow when in great peril, and X must keep It.”, “Oh! Is that it?" I answered. “Now, It seeme to me that you propose doing a very foolish thing, aud one too, that there Is neither merit nor necessity for performing.” “ Ah, Tenor, you are mistaken,” she replied, “ a vow is a vow ; if I was wrong, in. making it, who "shall absolve me 7-p Ho, I must keep my promise. Bsmctla slma Marla 1 what miserable creatures we should be If we all made vows and never fulfilled them.” “ i don’t say that we should make pro misees'to break them," I answered, •'“but only this, when one, through terror qr fanaticism, or anything that momeularl ly excites the mind, makes a rash, or hasty vow, It Is sometimes bettor to break it than perform It, Your own heart will toll you eo, though you. will not admit It.” j 1 " It tella me no auoh a thing,” she re plied : "If yon were a Catholic you would not'reason as you do.” What does that signify ?” I ana wer ed, “ What's the use of calling na'xies? I believe In the Trinity as well as your self. I'm n Cbristain, and when at home go to church and try to behave n lyself. .To be sure my religion don't call, upon me to bind myself with vows, nor 1 told me to them If I made them, but If I did I don’t think I should keep tip am If I made improper ones, and I In jaglno I should be none the worse for It. ” ' She shook her head Inoredm ausly, and then changed the conversation,. A few days afterwards Arigel Garcia came In the house wlthOls fa.ca pale. “What’s the matter, Angel?” we all oiled out at once. Tho poor boy was so agitated that ho could not reply Immediately, but alter a few moments eluted that be had seen some American soldiers shot down by Mexicans outside tho city Ihaltii, where they 1m licen straying. Putting ou my hat I went otit on tho piazza, but no ono seemed to have heard of the allalr. I, therefore, returned to the house and requested Auge 1 to show me the spot. To tell tho truth, I did not <3 lievo a word of tho story, bntilthongh that the boy had msf/WBed tbo*ocour rehce he professed to have seen. "Don’t go, Senor,” ho exclaimed, " you had better stay here.” "If you are afraid, I’ll go myself,” I answered, looking at him reproachfully, " I’m not afraid,” he replied, “though I don’t wish to he shot or see yod killed either." "Perhaps you. had better not go out, Henor,” said Antonia; “he content and remain where you are, “To show you how little I credit what Angel has seen,” I replied, “ I here bestow this upon you if I do not return,” and I took the gold wateh from my pocket and throw the chain over her neck. “ I will pray for you,” she said, as I turned away from the house. “ Angel don’t leave the Senor,” she cried. After some twenty minutes walk we came to the open country and Angel pointed a little way ahead, remarking, " That’s the place, though I don’t see any one now.” Scarcely had he uttered these words, ere I felt my arms pinioned.from be hind, and I was a prisoner. In an in stant there were a dozen lancers by my side. They had been secreted in the bushes, while their horses were conceal ed in a hollow near by. . Angel, poor boy, fled weeping pit eously, while my captors proceeded to bind my hands, and placing me on a horse bore me away.- I was fortunate in falling into the hands of Captain Vasquoz, an unusually humane Mexican, or I should probably have been traveling on foot tied to the tail of one of the horses. After a little, tho Captain himself rode up besidh me and entered into conversation. “ You are an officer?” he said, glan cing at my blue blouse which was de void of shoulder-straps. “ I am,” I replied, “ but was not on duty when yon captured me. I have been sick, and was recruiting my health before rejoining my regiment, which Is with the main body of the army.” “I’m sorry I had to take you if you are invalid,” he returned, but wo want some Information as to what is going on among your folks there," pointing (jack to the city. “ Let me give you a little bit of advice. You will be taken before General Ilea before long. I advise you to answer his questions promptly, for 11 may go worse with you If you hesitate.” “Thankyou,” I replied, “foryour intimation, but I shall reply to nothing that may prejudice the cause of my countrymen.” “ As you please,” he answered, and touching his. horse with his spur he rode to the head of his command. The sun was setting when we halted before a few houses at the outskirts of a village. ,l was immediately taken be fore a fat, swarthy officer, who an nounced himself as General Kea. “ How many troops have you in Puebla ?” he. asked in a stern tone. “ X do not know,” I replied. “What I” he demanded, raising his voice, "you don’t know ? Come, air, I have no time to waste; tell me at once, how large the American force is in Puebla.” “ I really cannot tell you,” I answer ed, “for I do not know.” “ How many pieces of light artillery have they?” he continued. “ I am an infantry officer,” I replied, “and don’t know anything about it.” "Don’t know again,” be said, making a memorandum with a pencil. “Do they expect reinforcements ? 1 so, when ?” “ I decline to answer the question,’ I replied. “ You do ?” he exclaimed. I shoot you ?” “ X shall endeavor to meet my fate ns a bravo soldier,” I answered. Hero Captain Vasquez, who was present, stepped to the General’s side, and whispered something. I only caught the words “an Invalid officer,” but I knew ho was speaking in my be half. 14 Take him away,” said the General I arose and was conducted out by a couple of soldiers and thrust into a. small room, scarcely live feet square, and lighted by an aperture only large enough to admit my hand. I soon saw .that the place was used as a prison, and a sentinel was lazily sitting before the door with his sabre dangling between his heels. He asked me for some to bacco. The door being opened, I was rudely shoved into this hole, containing only a rough bench and a brown pitch er, half full of stale water. For ten days I lived In this vile hovel, feeding npon a scanty supply of black beans and tortillas or corn cakes, and I was never permitted to go outside my pris on except upon cases of necessity, when I was always attended by a couple of soldiers. It was growing lato In the afternoon one day, when, as I-was peeping out of the apavture that served for a window, I saw a young man (as I supposed) talking to some soldiers directly in front of my den. The most remarka ble thing about him was a gold chain whl.ch ho wore. I was confident it was the, one I had handed Antonia the day of my capture. As I gazed I got a bet ter view ol the young man’s face, when to. my astonishment, X became satisfied tlaat it was Antonia Garcia herself In male attire. A thousand thoughts passed through my brain in that mo ment. Had she come there to effect my release, or to denounce me ? This last could not be, for she was too good to Ipjnre even an enemy; besides, she was In disguise. I called to the guard out side and asked him the time of day. “ A quarter to six,” ho replied, and then commenced smoking a corn-shuck segar as ho paced to and fro on his post. At lost it grew dark, and tho lights began to shine outside my prison. I was allowed none to cheer my gloomy hours, so I threw myself upon a bench which answered the purpose of a couch, and began to think of homo and kin dred. My confinement was making mo weak and morose, for I was far from hying strong when ,thoy captured mo, • While stretched' upon my bench, the door of my prison suddenly turned up on Us hingles, and admitted a figure and then closed again. ~ “ Bpeak low,” she said, for itwns An tonia, •• for X can only remain hero a moment; my father Is now oh guard at your door, that is the way X got In here. X can release you, but before do ing so, I wished to obtain you* Consent to' what I propose.' To-morrow night there will bo a sergeant on duty here, and I will arrange it so that there trill Oo a horse In waiting for your escape. To be brief, this sergeant of whom I speak will set you free, if I glvO him your watch and chain. Do you consent? Act as you please, and don’t let me in fluence you. If you had taken Angel’s advice and mine, you would hot n6W be here. X grasped her by tho hand and told her that I would freely give what she propos ed and even more. •* It’s enough,” ehe replied. “I don t know at what hour you will get clear, but my father is going to desert, and he will accompany you, and may the saints aid you.” She shook the door, which was im mediately opened, and I was alone. Oh, how sweet is the boon of freedom to one debarred from lte blessed privi lege! X slept bat little that night, and the next day feigned being 111. ■ Tbe’dpc tor came to m.o, but be prescribed noth- log, and left with the remark that I would bo soon better. How .wearily dragged those hours along as I watched the blue sky from my peep-hole 1 Even ing came at last, then it grew t . dark and got late. I heard the sentinels cry— “Aierto,” and then 1 knew that, fhe 'night was well-advanced. I could see the stars twinkle through my prison; window, and tile clangbf.myguardianfs, sabre every little while came to iny ear. Suddenly the door epepeci wide, and a' man spoke in a low voice: \ “Quick, Senor. follow me." I sprang out into the . night, and ran after him as fast os I could*', We.did not. halt until we came to the end of the village. There we found a Couple of horses in waiting. Without an Instant's hesitation I jumped into the saddle, and my companion did the same, 'When wo set off upon a hard gallop. "This Is dangerous work,” ho said, as wo tore along the road. ’ “If they should miss us our ,lives ; Would not be worth • c taco,’ " “ How far is Puebla off!" X asked f ter we had been riding for a long tim. . “ Scarcely more than a league," ho an swered. ; , ' . ' Just then .there came ,n sound from the rear that made me shudder. It was a dull, rattling noise, accompanied by a distant shout. “Heavens!" I cried, “we are pursu ed." My companion uttered something mat sounded like an oath. Faster and faster we urged our beasts, while 1 nearer and nearer came the clatter in What's that you have about your neok 7" asked Antonia. ; “My chain, of course,” I answered, “and the watoh Is here, too," , 1 “ Why, how la that?" asked her fa|b! er; "I thought Sergeant Torres bad It.” “So he did,” I replied, !• but, you see,, he Is lying out there on the road, and I saw from the way he was.taklng hlsrest that ho wouldn't need It any longer,"si) I took possession of It myself,” : j, “Ah, mel" returned Garcia, 1 “he promised to sell It to me If I would sepd him twenty dollars, and I was going'to, ash you for the money, seeing that I set you free.” “You shall have the money, my man,” I replied, " but I reckon I’ll keep the watoh myself.” AN Irish Jockey elated with his suc cess at winning a race exclaimed : ‘By my soul, I'm first at last, I’ve always l»en behind before.’ v 1 VOL 59-NO. 19.
