CHAPTER XI. (Continued. )

The Christians took up their wounded, and carried them tenderly to the shade, for the sun blazed down from the cloudless sky.

Around Cortes gathered the captains, rest- ing themselves. ie The Tlascalans must hold the yard,” he said, well pleased, and with raised visor. ‘‘ That charge I commit to thee, Lugo.

Lugo bared his face, and said, sullenly :

“Thou knowest, senor, that lam accus- tomed to obey thee questionless; but this liketh me not. J——”

‘* By the love of Christ——” :

‘Even so, Senor,” said Lugo, interrupting him in turn. ‘TI feel bidden by the love of Christ to go up, and help cast down the ac- cursed idols.”

The face of the crafty leader changed quicly. 2

‘Kx, father!” he said. ‘‘Here is one mal- content, because I would have him stay Jind take care of us while we climb the stairways. What say’st thou?”

Olmedo answered solemnly:

‘* What ye have in mind now, Senores—the disgrace of the false gods who abide in this temple of abominations—is what hath led us here. And now that the end is at hand the least circumstances is to be noted ; for the wise hear God as often in the small voice as in the thunder. Doubt not, doubt not; the promoting of the good captain is from Him. Be this lower duty to the unassolized Tlas- calans ; go we as the love of Christ calleth. Verily, he who doeth this work well, though his sins be many as the sands of the sea, yet shall he become as purity itself, and be bless- ed for ever. Take thy measures quickly, Senor, and let ns be gone.”

** Amen, amen!” said the cavaliers; and Cortes, crossing himself, hastened in person to make dispositions for the further emprise.

The Tlascalans he set to hold the coatapantli from attack without. To the arquebuiers and cross-bowmen he gave orders to cover him with their fire while he climbed the stairways and was driving the enemy around the terraces. When the azoteas was gained, they were to ascend, and take part in the crowning struggle for the sanctuaries. The cavalry, already dismounted, were to go with him in the assault. To the latter, upon rejoining them, he said :

‘*In my judgment, gentlemen, the fighting we go to now is of the kind wherein the sword is better than axe or lance; therefore, put away all else.”

He took place at the head, with Alvarado and Sandoval next him in the column.

‘‘And thou, father?” he asked.

Olmedo raised his crucifix, and, looking up, said:

‘‘Hagase tu voluntad en la tierra asi como en el vielo.” Then to Cortez, ‘‘I will follow these, my children.”

“Forward, then! Christ with ns, and all the saints!” cried Cortez. ‘‘Adelanto ! Chris- to y Santiago !”

In a moment they were swiftly climbing the lower stairway of the temple.

Meantime Io’, from the azoteas, kept watch on the combats below. Two figures charmed his gaze—that of Cortez and that of the ’tzin —hboth, in their separate ways, moved for- ward slowly but certainly. Before he thought of descending, the Christians were in the pre- cinct of the coatapantli, and after them

streamed the Tlascalans.

As we have seen, the prince had been in battles, and more than once felt the joyous frenzy nowhere else to be found; but now a dread fell upon him. Did Malinche’s dream of conquest reach the gods? Again and again he turned to the sanctuaries, but the divine wrath came not forth—only the sonorous throbs of the drum. Once he went into the presence chamber, which was full of kneeling pabas. The teotuctli stood before the altar praying. Io’ joined in the invocation ; but miracles there was not, neither was there help; for when he came out all the yard around the temple was Malinche’s.

Then lo’ comprehended that this attack, unlike Escobar’s, was of method ; for the ways of suecour, which were also those of retreat, were all closed. The supreme trial has come early in his career. His spirit arose; he saw himself the stay of the religion of his fathers : the gods leaned upon him. Onthe roof and terraces were some two thousand warriors, the fighting children of the valley ; Tezcucans, with countless glorious memories to sustain their native pride ; Cholulans, eager to avenge the sack of their city and the massacre of their countrymen ; Aztecs, full of the superior- ity of race, and the inspiration of ages of em- pire. They would fight to the last man. He could trust them, as the ’tzin had trusted him. The struggle, moreover, besides being of special interest on account of its religious character, would be in mid-air, with the strang- ers and all the tribes and companies as witness- es. So with his caciques, he went down to the landing at the top of the lowest stairway.

A yell saluted Cortes when, at the head of the cavaliers, he appeared on the steps, and sword in hand and shield overhead, com- menced the perilous ascent. At the same time javelins and spears began to rain upon the party from the first terrace, Up they hurried. Half the height was gained and not a man hurt—not a foot delayed. Then, slow- ly at first, but with longer leaps and increas- ing force, a block of stone was started down the stairs, Fortunately, the steps were broad, having been built for the accommoda- tion of processionists. Down sped a warning cry; down as quickly plunged the danger, Olmedo saw three figures of men in iron fol- low it headlong to the bottom; fast they fell, but not too fast for his words of absolution; before the victims touched the pavement, their sins were forgiven, and their souls at rest in Paradise.

_ The stones and timbers placed on the land- ing by the ’tzin’s order were now laid hold of and rolled to the steps and hurled down. Thus ten Christians more were slain. Even Cortes, deeming escape impossible, turned his battle-cry into a prayer, and not in vain. From below the arquebusiers and cross-bow- men suddenly opened fire, which they kept so close that, on the landing, the dead and wounded speedily outnumbered the living.

‘The saints are with us. Forward, swords of the Church !” cried Cortes,

Before the infidels recovered from their panic he passed the last step and stood upon the terrace. And there, first in front of him, first to meet him, was To’, whom pride and zeal would not permit to retire,

The meeting—combat it can hardly be called—was very brief. The blades of Io’s magquehuitl broke atthe first blew. Cortes replied with a thrust of the sword—quick, but true, riving both the shield and the arm. A cacique dragged the hapless boy out of reach of the second thrust, and took his place before the conqueror.

THE LATE PROF. PHELPS.

above is a portrait of the late Prof. Bayard E. Phelps, M.D., LL.D., st Dartmouth College, He was a strong, om man, whostoodhighinthe literary and scientific worlds. It is not generally known, but it is, nevertheless, the truth, that Prof. ae the discoverer of what is known to the , edi- cal Profession and Chemists universally as Paine’s Celery Compound, are vr of the most valuable discoveries of this century. This remarkable compound is not a nervine, an essence, a sarsaparilla or any devised article, but a discovery, and it et a distinct step in medical practice and the treatment of nervous complications. It has been freely admitted by the best pone talent in the iand, and also by the leading chemistsand scientists, that for nerve troubles, nervous exhaustion, insomnia, debility, senility and even the dreaded and terrible Paresis, nothing has ever been discovered which reaches the disorder and restores health equal to this discovery of Prof. Phelps ie ine’s Celery. Compound is now being Giepera in eugatities: and can be procured at any reputable druggist. An attractive bunch of celery is to be found on every wrapper. It has become. specially popular among professional men, mind workers, ladies burdened with exciting social duties and fre- quenters of the leading clubs.
