The idea asat first seen by them was commonplace ; under his description it became heroic ; and struggling, as he suggested, to measure it each for him- self, all were dumb. **Good gentlemen,” said Cortes, smiling, ‘why so laggard now? Speak, Diaz de! Cas- tillo. Offer what thou canst,” The good soldier, and afterwards good chronicler, of the conquest and its trials, this one among the rest replied. ‘*l confess, Senor, the enterprise is difficult beyond my first thought. I confess, also, to more reflection about its necessity than its achievement. To auswer truthfully, at this time I see but one way to the end; and that is, to invite the monarch here under some sufficient pretence and then lay hands oa him.” ** Are ye all of the same minds, gentlemen?” There was a murmur of assent, whereupoa Cortes arose from leaning upon his sword, and said sharply : ; “To hear ye, gentleman, one would think the suynmer all before us in which to inter- change courtesies with the royal barbarian. What is the fact? At noon to-morrow cur hours of grace expire. A deat of drum, and then assault, and after that,” he paused, looking grimly round the circle—‘ and efter that, sacrifices to the gods, I suppose.” There was a general movement and outcry. Some gripped their arms, others crossed them- selves. Cortessaw and pressed his advan- tage. ** [ shall not take your advice, Bernal Diaz; not I by my conscience! Heaven helping me, I expect to see old Spain again; and more, I expect to take these comrades back with me, rich in glory and gold.” ‘Lhen to the otlicers behind him, he said in his ordinary tone of command, *‘ Ordas, do thou bid the carpen- ters prepare quarters in this place for Mon. tezuma and his court; and let them begin their work to-night, for he will be our guest before noon to-morrow. And thou, Leon, thou, Luge, thou, Avila, and thou, Sandoval, get ye ready to go to me with me to the ‘And I?” asked Alvarado. “‘Thou shalt go also.” “And the army, Senor?” Diaz suggested. *¢ The army uhall remain in quarters.” Never man’s manner more calm, never man more absolutely assured. The listeners warm- eg with admiration. As unconscious of the effect he was working, he went on : **T have shown the Gifliculties of the enter- prise; now I say turthe«, the crisis of the ex- pedition is upon us; if I succeed, all is won ; if I fail all is lost. In such etrait, what should we do between this and then? Let us not trust in our cunning and strength; we are Christians; as such,“put we our faith in Christ and the Holy Mother. Olmedo, father, go thou to the chapel, avd get ready the alter. The night toconfession and prayer; and iet the morning find us on our knees shrieved and blessed. We are done, comrades. Let the chamber be clesred. To the chapel all.” And they did the bidding cheerfully. All night the good father was engaged in holy work—confessing, shrieving, praying. So the morning found them. CHAPTER XL THE CMRISTIAN TAKES CARS OF HIS OWN. Hualpa returned to the city about the time the stars, which in that clime and season herald the morning, take their places in the sky, He had lightened his heart, and receiv- ed the symoathy cf a lover in return; he had told the great things done and promised by the king, and sorrowed that his friend could take no part in the events which, he imagin- ed, were to make the day heroic for ever ; and now, his enthusiasm of youth sobered by the plaints to which he had listened while travers- ing the dusky walks of the beautiful garden, he clomb the stairs of the teocallis. Before the day was fairly dawned, he was at his post, waiting, dreaming of Nentzin, and hearkening to the spirit-songs of ambition, always so charming to unpractised souls. And the Lord Cuitlahua perfected his measures, On all the dykes, and at the en- trance of all the canala, guard were stationed. The bridges nearest the palace occupied by the strangers were held by chosen detach- ments. Except those thus detailed, the entire military in the city were pent in the temples, And to all, including the lord stew- ard, the proper orders were confided. All awaited the signal. . And the king, early in the night, ignorant of the flight Nenetzin, had come from Chapultepec to his palace in thecapital. He retired as he was wont, and slept the sleep as restful to a mind long distracted by irreso- lution as to a body exhausted by labor; such slumber ag comes to him who, in time of doubt involving all dearest interests, at last dis- covers what his duty is, and,fully determined, simply awaits the hour of performance, trust- ful of the action taken, and of the good-will of the god or gods of his faith. Oa the side of the Christians, the preparal tion, more simple, was also complete. From mass the little host went to breakfast, then to arms. The companies formed ; even the Tlascalans behaved as if impressed with a sense that their fate had been challenged. To the captains, again convoked in the audi- ence chamber, Cortes detailed his plan of operation, His salution of each was grave and calm. Though very watchful, they heard him without question; and when they went out they might have said, The hour of trial is come, and now will be seen which holds the conquering destiny—-the God of the Christians or that of the Aztecs. From the council, Alvarado went first to Marina; fiuding that Nenetzin slept, he joined his companions in the great court, where, gay and careless, he carolled a song, and twirled his sword, and, in thought of smailing fortune and a priacley Indian love, walked complacently to and fro. And so wait, ready for action, the Christian lover and the heathen—one in the palace, the other in the temple—both, in fancy, lord of the same eweet mistress, At the stated hour, as had been the custom, the three lords came, in splendid costume, and with stately ceremonial, bringing the king’s compliments, and asking Cortes’ will for the day. Andthey returned with compliments equally courteous and deceptive, taking with them Orteguilla, the e, instructed to in- form the monarch that directly, if such were the royal pleasure, Malinche would be happy to visit him in his palace, A little later there went out parties of soldiers, apparently to view the city ; yet the point was noticeable that, besides being fully armed, each was in charge of a chosen sub- ordinate. Later, the army was drawn up, massed in the garden ; the matches of the gunners were lighted; the horsemen stood at their bridles ; the Tlascaians were stationed to defend the outer walls. De Oli, Moria, Maris and Monjarez possed through the lines in careful inspection. os Heard’st thou when the drum wag to enented ? asked De Oli, looking to the . ~ ong ol answered Marina.
