In the. midst of tins di- 1 lemma he was interrupted bv the arrival of a mes senger from his uncle, the prior of “a monastery j of Carmelite* in this neighborhood, summoning j the chief to an immediate conference, whieli Liektm did not delay attending to, knowing bis uncle who had already often assisted him with good advice during his .expeditions, to be a wise, good and patriotic mtiu. Hu found the prior in great excitement as to the fate of the unfortunate town. The tnonkcon jureil Leikem, by his Christian faith and his love for his country, now to show what enthusiasm the Hungarian was capable of in the defence of I his rights and Ins countrywomen. He then pro- i posed to him to go to the town dressed as a monk and there to agree upun a scheme with the in habitants. The first part of this proposal was easily effected, asa few hous previously, Dulo, the father of Irma had sent to the monastery for a priest to pray for his daughter whp was then dangerouaUntL Leikem waa for ttn<tment un thi Jpd information, Iffu violent • to . k feelingpwifd di his UNoness to comply wish of his urfsfer Tie hastily put on a cowl and left, the monastery mounted upon a mule. He had the good for tune to pass the Turkish outposts unremarked, and arrived at the dusk of the evening, accom panied by Uulo’s messenger, in Gyongyos. With the capuchin drawn over his head Lei kem entered Irma's room. She was much chang during the few weeks that had elapsed since he B *w her,jmd was so exhausted that the pretend-: e< * monk bad to bond over hei to catch her wliis-1 pored words. He could not long carry on his ] disguise, and was forced to exclaim with all the the^ fervor of his noble heart, “I am not a monk, Irma, hut thy warrior, and ® ra come to cure and save thee, for as I live thou sbalt not fall into the hands of the infi dels.” At the sound of that voice, the tone of which *ne had never forgotten, the girl thought she veampt, but again looking into hia trkthful, ®lk American Buioti. manly face, she saw that all was a reality, and she seemed to live anew. - - i lie guerilla chief likewise disclosed his secret and his intention to her father, who cheered by bis presence, instantly stole awav to others of his tried and brave neighbors, inviting them, to | meet at’ his house. The men came ‘As it was I supposed that the escort with the tribute, of the j town, on proceeding to,Huda, would’ halt lot the night at the fortress el Ilnfvan, halfway between j (iyongvos and Hilda, tit she proposed of Leikem j a daring plan was projected and resolved upon. J Two days after an order came to give up the i tribfite of mom v and women. The mayor bv ] I presents obtained permission of the commander j that the maidens should be allowed to remain ; veiled dmiug their journey, until they were intro duced into the presence of the I’asha of Hilda.— I -All happened as they wished. At the moment of their departure they were taken in closed lit ! tors from their dwellings, and left the town un i der a strong escort, accompanied by the fervent j prayers of the inhabitants for their safety. As | they |irocee.led very slowly, they did not reach ; llatvan til! lale in the evening, whereupon the * Aga resolved not to go any further that night.— j While preparations were making for the aceom | modation of the unusual guests, the cotnuamler lof the fortress attempted once or twice to pay la vi'it of ceremony to the maidens; but the* ’ matron under uliose care they were, an ener getic, Hungarian woman, remained indexible and ; after a short contest rescued them from the pres ence of a verv unwelcome visitor.
