It was in the year 1834 while the civil war be
tween Don Carlos and Queen Isabel was raging j 1
j in Spain, that I was sent on a secret mission
j by our government to that country. I had uot

j of this proof of the confidence reposed in me.
j There were many Fiench agents employed by
j our government to watch and report upon the •
j progress of affairs. These men, who passed !
i under assumed names, moved to and fro upon
1 various pretexts, never staying long at one
| place, but were always kept in coraraunicarion
with Paris by means of travelers, who, like
myself, were from time to time deputed to
meet them, as though accidently. You will
ask why they did not communicate with our
minister at Madrid. That might have laid
them open to suspicion. But by the system
adopted all dispatches or documents were dis
pensed with, and the traveler who seemed to
meet them casually at the hotel or in the dilli-
gence, giving the pasarsign, received their in
formation verbally, and carried it in his head
as well as he could back again to Paris.

that a mcsienger had been dispatched to the

passed, and 1 began to feel nervously anxious
as to my probable fate, when I was suddenly

name by which he was to be known
an assumed ope—and the character he was to
represent. My name on this occasion was to
be “Jean Brissot, agriculturalist,” the town
of my birth being given as my (dace of resi
dence. I was to be in search of a younger j
brother who was supposed to have ventured :
in one of the contending armies, but whose
immediate return to France was required most i
urgently, owing to the death of a near relative
possessed of much veajth. My passport duly
vised, set forth the necessary particulars. I
need not tell you that before starting 1 care
fully divested myself of everything that fiore
traces of my real name and address. My
clothes were all new, and my linen conspicu
ously marked with my adopted designation ;
not a scrap of paper or a note book of any
kind could attest my real name or avocation.
I was on the point of starting when a little
note from my mother, containing just her bles
sing and a prayer for my safety, was put into
my hand. I was yet reading it whpn a sum
mons cagje to attend the Minister to rpceiva
his last ingtructiop$. The little note was
crushed into ray breast pocket, aud there it
lay unheeded if not forgotten.
I had not long crossed the frontier when my
troubl.es began. A party of the Carlist gueril
las bad eetablislied themselves ou the road to
Madrid, and no conveyance would venture for
any money I could offer. So for a week, till
the guerillas were dispersed or had chosen an
other scene for their exploits, I was kept pris
oner at the little frontier town of F -.
At the same (lace was staying an old gen- [
tleman who entered warmly into roy professed !
object in visiting Spain, and gave me much
good advice as to the avoidance of ifie many
dangers to which an unwary traveler might be
exposed. I was certain, he Raid, to be watch
ed—efforts would be made everywhere to draw
me into conversation on political affairs; but
as I valued my life I must avoid all such
temptations. At the end of a week, I accept
ed the offer of a person who hired a convey
ance for himself, to proceed another stage or
two on my journey. While putting on my
travelling coat, that for days past bad bung iu

but when I put my hand in my pocket to find
it, lo! it was gone. This was altogether in

i was certain that since my parting interview
j with the Minister in Paris I had not setu it,—
However, it might then in my haste have beeu
dropped, and 1 tried to argue myself into a
sense of security.
But there was no doubt that I was watched,
j for surely, as the old gentleman had warned
! me, at no hotel did I stop but some communi
cative personage sought to enljgbteq me on
the state of public affairs, with the obvious
purpose of extracting some opinion of my own
thereon. I was so overwhelmed, however,
with the fate of my lost brother, and so eager
to discover that creature of imagination, that
I had no time for political cpntrovprsy. So I
avoided the snare thus daily set before me,
meeting in my course two of the agents with
whom I was to communicate, and by the appa
rently accidental character of our interview,
escaping detection, or, as I supposed, suspi
cion. I reached Madrid, executed one or two
official commissions there, and left again, in
tending after a slight detour to return once
more to Paris. On the third day after quitting
the capital, provided with a pass from the
commanding general that would protect me in
my search while among the rpyal foreps, I eDr
tered the diligence at the little town of S-,
mv face once more turned homeward. There
were three other passengers in the coach.—
One was an English officer of the Spanish Le
gion, summoned home suddenly and endeav-
oripg to leave Spain by this route. The others
had the appearance of military officers also
but were evideutly Spaniards, aud sat wrapped
up in their large cloaks ia perfect silence, as
though desiring neither conversation nor re
cognition.
One or two stages were passed without any
incident of importance. Night came on, but
we were to travel through the night, so it
caused no interruption to our journey. It was
pitch dark, and I feared the upsetting of the
crazy old diligence rather than any other ca
tastrophe, when, just as we were crossing a
bridge, the coach was suddenly brought to a
stand by a loud command to the driver to stop.
Then we were surrounded by armed men in
uniform, bearing lanterns, the door

examine me, and I gave him niy
■ilwiv- I stor - v as substantially as 1 could, dwelling
3 ! again with emphasis oq my earnest longing to
find the lost Francois.
When I had answered along series of ques
tions, the chief, v^riting away all the wh.le,
apparently inattentive to the proceedings, sud
denly looked up and ordered an aide to “bring
in the Englishman.” I was surprised to see
my late fellow-traveler immediately enter the
room. Don Carlos deigned, however, to no
tice him with, some degree of courtesy, and
the Engjislftnan, with a frank, easy manner,
returned his bow. Re t^as then questioned
as to his knowledge of me but as . I bad told
him the same story as I had just imparted my
self, nothing of an incriminating character
was obtained, and I began to hope tor the best.
But, alas! my hopes were soon dashed rudely
to pieces. As the questioning of the English
man ended, an orderly’, booted and spurred
and covered with dust, entered tlig pooty, and
placed in the liap.ds of the chief a smail pack
et. He opened it deliberately and glanced at
tito contents, took up one paper and scanned
it closely’. My heart beat violently, my knees
shook under me, I felt sick and faint and—
j must I confess it?—terribly frightened, for in
i that small sheet I recognized my mother's
! parting letter. Don Carlos turned toward me,
and a grim look passed over his dark face as
he saw the fright which confessed to my
knowledge of the fatal evidence against me.—
“To be shot as a spy,” seemed to be written
in his look, though for a few moments he said
nothing. Remember that I had no better
chance, even if I so far forgot my duty to my
country as to confess my true character and
errapd. The French Minister at Madrid would
not have known me, and had reference been
made to Paris, which was not possible, it was
quite certain that, for peasons of policy, my
business and connection igith the governmegt
would have been disavowed. All this oc
curred to me as the Don sat eyeing me with
the letter in his hand.
“You know this?” be said at last, holding
out the tiny sheet of paper.
I confessed frankly it was mine; a lie would
not have availed anything, and I felt too near
death for falsehood;
“ Your business in Spain? tell it!” he ad
ded, sternly.
But I was silent.
“ You are a spy,” he went on, “ or why this
concealment ?” ''
But by this time my courage had come back.
“I have business—secret business,” I said,
“but I cannot reveal it. My companion here
knows that I was journeying peaceably enough
on the h'gh road, and in a public conveyance,
(citbogt any atfeir.pt qt pqccgalment, wheq wc
were both captured.”
The Don sat a moment in thought, then
with “ Take him away,” turned to his writing,
and I was led out of his presence.
To my great satisfaction the Englishman,
with whom I could converse slightly in his
own tongue, was placed with me under guard.
We conversed together as to our CQoditign and
prospects, and lie pressed me closely to take
him into iqy ponfidence. As his manner jjq-
pressed me favgfahly, and he seemed to be
better in favor than myself, I went so far as to
avow a secret government mission, though
carefully concealing particulars.
He was summoned to the pressence of Don
Carlos in the course of the day. On his re
turn he told me that he had discovered that
there existed a strong suspicion unfavorable
to myself.
“ Here,” said he, “you are traveling under
a false name—your mother’s letter was ab-
stracted by an agent of the Cailists, who was j
employed to keep an eye on travelers coming •
from France by that route—and your descrip
tion bad been forwarded at once to headquar
ters, though the letter itself bad been sent to
another place, which you were expected to
visit, and where you would certainly have
been captured. Then you were.found ia a

whose fate I think there can be no doubt, and
