OR THE COUNCIL OF FRANCISCA:NE.
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. Emboldened by im
punity, theyedded attrocity to'pillage, and
frequently tnassareed the peasants whom
they -had at' firht centen led themselves with
plundering ! • Old 'Wien. and children were
murdered,"womcit dutrnged and carried off,
and.no man made .sure - of his life for the
space of a'single night; for it was usually
in the
.night that-.EI Patudo
. made his at
tacks. The band „rarely remained station
ary in any-village; occasionally they would_

desperate resistance offered by thO frantic

bound hand and foot to his house, to which
the robbers B,et fire in three different places.
Fortunately , the neighboring peasants ex
tinguished the flames as soon as.the depar
ture of the bandits permitted them to do so
with safety. - Melande,z uttered not a word
in reply to the consolation offer ed him by
his pitying friends Old acquaintances. lie
silently allowed a village barber to bind up
his head, froM which El Patudo had, with
his own hand, severed the. ears, and then

town of Villasayas,- in Castile, 'and -the

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.

As he spoke; the vvhite . rObe.cif a Fran ,

advanced down , a path which led from the
convent to thebivouac:Of 'the parlida. EI
Patedollastened to meet . the ,•new corner,
and after a short conference, returned to' his
comrades. .
"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. A spy
has just brought the intelligendelb the con
vent, and Ignacio hastened to, put tis on'our '

could - With Aierfect safety _remain , whete

turn-it was for sentry,took .up their must--
kets and repaired-tn-their posts, whilit the .
remainder, wrapping , themselves in their
cloaks and blanket's; turned their ibetin the
smouldering ashes of the fire, and were
soon asleep. -
The- herizon' was tinged with the gray.
streak which' announces the approach, of
day, and the huge outlinenofthemountaints
wernbedoming gradually visible against the
blue sky. 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

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
