It.was in the summer of the year 183—, that, the peaceful inhabitants of a fertile valley in tine head of the mountainous dis trict of Cuenca, in Spain, were 'subjected to the depredations of a party of guerilla's, who, under the command of a ruffian by the name of El Patudo, spread terror and desolation wherever they appeared. bike most of the bands which, half robber,. half soldier, overran Spain .during the late civil 'wan:, they styled themselves Carlists t. but 1 this, did not prevent them from emptying thd pureei and- plundering .the houses of many' persons whose opinions were known to be favorable-to-Doirtarlos. • There be ing no troops in the neighborhood, and the I younger part of the male - population. being absent in the ranks of one or the other of. the two parties who then divided Spain; the. bandits, although met:numerous, met with I bnt little resistance.

' irf„ his feet he wore alpargatas »ar hempensan dals, and his knife and a brice of pistols were stuck in his crimson silk sash, the ends of which were fringed with silver thread. • His features were handsome, al though tanned a deep brown by exposure do the weather—a beautifully penciled moustache shaded his upper lip, and two silver rings ere passed through holes pierced in, his ears. his passing acquain tances saluted him by the name of Pepito, •and the 'free companions described above ackiowledged:him•as•their chief. • The mass---had—commencet4 - atut - iiTnii:: memos congregation of devotees ard idlers, had entered the -church. Nilo was about to follow their example, when an old man, whose, clothes were dusty and travel-stain ed, •and. whose gray hair and a bandage which he had - round his head were streaked with blood, laid a trembling hand 'on the arm of the gigantic guerilla. Pepito turned his head. "Father!" cried liejoy.folik i the old man arms. Two hours later the free corps of repito Melentlez had left Villasayas, and was on. its road t o' the province of Cuenca. So few and short were their halts, and so .touch ex pedition did they use, that on the evening of the secmul • day's march, they had ae : . eotnplished five-and-twenty long leagues, and established their 'bivouac in a ravine at a short distance - frow the valley -in 'which . Melendez's hpuie was situated. . About subset on • the sane evening, the band of El —paittild,were supping in the open air at the opposite . extremity of the valley. They were thirty-eight in number; including the chief and two. or three sub ordinate officers. , El Pattido himself was a bull-pecked; double jointed ruffian, duca -1 sily but strongly built, and with hands abd feet of so diaproPortionably large a size as to !rave procured him the soubriquet by which we have here designated hint. • On a well - wooded platform, about a mile in the rear of the revellers, arose the tur rets of ti•convent, which commanded one of • the principal entrances to the valley.— The Franciscan monks; who inhabited it, I were - rarely seen outside of its walls, with the exception of some half 'dozen, -who were' aCciistomed to levy contributions in 'the form of - alini, on 'the piously disposed. among the peasantry of the district. The convent was large, and hod formerly of-' forded ehelterto a'numerous community; but the inmates, nt,the period.tve write of,' were not supposed to exceed fortY ,or fifty.. The reserved habits of the brotherhood, were: the, cause that little was known of them,, even by %Wm who dwelt: Within sight of the walls.

"IXe may make up our minds to remelt'. idle to-night, instead of taking a merry ramble in the-moonbeams,!!--cried-he i :with a grin of disappointment. "Old Mclendez has been to show hie ears, or lhe place where they ought .to be, to.a son of his, who; it . appears, commands a free:corps- ' and he and his men will- reach the valley to , night 'or tomorrOw morning.

The'early morning breeze called out the fragrant odornof the. flowers and shrubs which had laid quelled and dormant muler the heavy night dew. - Pepito Mel endez and his corps advanced-rapidly and silently towards the end of the valley where the.brigands of .El Patudo were supposed to have their hauhts e t i ttmiae g h hgt Mingaftrreclinihlite walls assuming, in 'the uncertain twilight, the appearance of some huge Shadowy phantom. - Arriied within half a league kif the extremity of the valley,.Pepito and his men turned to the left, and' continued in that direction un til they *reached the foot 'of the monntain, at a spot where the bed of the torrent ran between two high rocks, on the summit of 'which a scanty layer of earth affinded nourishment to numerous creeping plants, which overhung and Shaded the dry water course bele 11) _this-. lAil.litlg_.plartt-111e themselves, whilst Pe- pito climbed 'the rocks and-etme_ ~,,, him self amongst somniiii - Sliii e ,fat an elevation which enabled him to have a full view over the upper part of the valle y. _ He had. .not been many - minutes at his postof observa tion, when he perceived a line of dark font's- - stealthily through the •treenwhich cloathed„ the ascent to• the 'convent, into which builifing they were admitted by a side entrance not generally used by the monks.• l'epito, for sit instant, could not helieize his eyes. lie gazed earnestly at the minor through which the 'men were pas sing, and which was carefully closed as soon as the last had entered. -The distance was too Anti for him to be mistaken ad' to the character of the ,persons thus admitted into the retreat of the Franciscans. He had erfectly distinguished their tireas aryl arms —which were those of El Pautdo and his band. Pepito had passed his youth in the valle,y until within the last three years. and he had been accustomed to reverence the inmates Of the convent as pious and inof fensive men. These early t.repossessions had not been effaced by the vicissitudes of his late adventurous life, passed among rude pertilans, , accustomed to think lightly of religion and io make a jest of its votaries. 'What he had just seen, however, left no room fora doubt that there was collusimi between the monks and the horde of ruf fians who had laid waste his father's dwel- ling. and dyed its peaceful hearih with the blood of his mother and .brothers. The . , numerous: instances of-monkish duplicity and cruelty which he had seen and heard of in, the course of the war, rushed across and,diSpelled any lurking' disin clination to credit the guilt of thos e whom, as a-boy ; lie .had looked up " to with reve rence.- These reflections occupied but a .few Se conds, and l'epito descended from-his-rock, fully decided - as to the line of Conduct pro - - per to belitirsued. lie - informed his men of What he had seen, aml led them_ umsrds the,convent by.the Moo covered ways, in Order to jivoid -being perceived by - tli oe they were in quest of.

They rushed to the cells—they were untenanted; to the Orwell—it was empty. Monks and brigands, all had disappeared. For an instant Pepito feared that his prey l ltad escaped him, when one of his soldiers exclaimed, "The vaults; they are hidden in the vaults!" • • - • The words were scaraely'uttered, when a dozen guerillas flew to the convent,ar den, and soon re-appeared with .ipadee and pickaxes.
