CLEVELAND, GA., SATURDAY MORNING, JUNE 12, 1880.
THE GYPSY'S WARNING
The little villago of San Papin, whieh
lies three leagues distant from Madrid,
was once the residence of many proud
and opulent families who have long
since passed away from the earth.
Among mulosteors, shepherds and wa¬
ter carriers, one would hardly look for
Spanish grandees, and San Pablo is
now only populated by an ignoble race.
At the period of which we
there lived in san Pablo, oao ~~ Count " Ro¬
drigo de Rivas, who claimed to be de¬
scended from that Rivas who was called
the thunderbolt of Spain, on account of
his military exploits, his
The count was in the 32d year of
age, had been educated abroad, and
only returned to his country at the
death of his father, who bequeathed of to
him vast estates iu the southern part
Spain, which made him one of the
wealthiest nobles in the kingdom. He
was tali, wol! formed, with a pleasing
countenance, with which was blended
great resolution. It was said of him
that he was never known to evince the
least trepidation under any circumstan¬
ces that ever occurred. Just as ho was
quitting Germany for his home, he
chanced to meet Senor Ruiz, who was
abroad with his family, ami bo almost
instantly became enamored with his
beautiful daughter Julia. For months
the count had impatiently awaited the
return of Sene Ruiz to Spain, and at
length he heard of the arrival of the
lovely girl whose image was so indeli¬
bly impressed on his heart.
The sun was shining cheerily, and the
birds were singing blithely along the
road side, as the count rode forward to
Madrid on his trusty mule, richly adorn¬
ed with silver trappings. As he came
to a turn in the road there stalked out
of a clump of bushes the figure of a
woman in strange attire. Her dress
Wiis so fantastic that he reined up his
mule suddenly and gazed at her in sur¬
prise. Her iaco was swarthy, and upon
her head she wore a yellow and red
turban, while her skirt which was green
and short, was rout in many places
She displayed a pair of bright blue
stockings, and her feet were encased in
V red morrocco slippers.
i "this is -Vo. Certainly ■ ejjafr* Wfetraage f
Cuuik, w<
iug,”
Before, however, ho could reflect fur¬
ther, the woman approached iiim, and
craved permission to tell his fortune.
“A gypsy V he cried.
“Let me see your hand,” said the
woman, without appealing to notice
his remark.
The count regarded her attentively
and then laughed.
‘Nay, nay, my womau I am no be¬
liever in these matters; but you, like
your race, are poor, I suppose; there¬
fore, take this,’ and he tossed a peso,
which she quickly picked out of the
dust. Turning to him she said.
‘But I would see the palm of your
baud, noble sir, even though you ridi
cule my calling.'
‘There it is then,' replied the count,
as he UDgioved his band and extended
it toward the gypsy. The darkseyed
hag gazed intently at the count's band
for some minutes, then looked up in hi3
face, and laughingly eaid: “Tts ever
the same with handsome and gay men.
Love, love, always love, I will tell you
that you canuot believe, bnt I warn
you, beware of tho raven,’ and before
the count could question she darted
among the trees, and he saw her tatter¬
ed finery disappear in the forest.
‘Beware of the raven,’ quoth the
count. ‘What raven'? What can the
creature meau ? Ah! it is one of their
tricks; it has no significance at all,’ and
he pricked his mule with one spur and
rode forward humming a ballad, all the
while tbiukiog of the beautiful Julia.
The sun was sinking behind the hnr
rizon as he gained tho suburbs of the
city, Suddenly his mule made a plunge,
and losing her footing, came to the
ground with her rider
‘A bad omen,’ muttered the count, as
he rose unhurt and gazed at tho mule,
which was almost iustautly on her feet
again. She had always been a remarka¬
bly suresfooted beast, and the count,
who was not without a certain tinge
of superstition, appeared uncertain
whether to proceed or retrace his way.
As he stood dangltDg his bridle in his
hand, his eyes caught sight of an old
public house by the wayside.
•We ll tarry here for the night,’ he
said, and leading the animal, he walked
towards the building.
The house iu question was of large
dimensions, the windows few and small,
and were set deep within the thickness
of the wall. Immediately over the por¬ "an¬
tal hung a weather-beaten sign,
nouncing the house as the Raven Inn.
For au instant the count hesitated, as
the gipsy’s warning came to his mind;
but the feeliug past off instantly, and
pulling the bell, be awaited the opening
of the heavy court-yard doors. The
count was tired and required rest, and
as he was determined not to enter the
city that night, one place was as good
as another to tarry in. Had he known
the reputation of the Raven ho doubt
less would have sought other lodg
ings. So long had ) been absent
from his country that many local
events had transpired of which he knew
nothing, and one of the most noted oc
currences had been the trial of Antonio
Hernandez (the proprietor of the Raven)
murder, and his .tcquittal of the
same. But, notwithstanding Hernandez
saved his life through the exertions of
his advocate, his character was entirely
lost and the business of tins bouse ai
most destroyed, for few people believed
in his innocence, and mothers pointed
him out to their children as a murderer.
Years before it appeared that a rich
guest had been murdered iu his bod,
and the landlord was suspected and ar¬
rested. Tho circumstances made a
groat stir, for tho murdered man was
well connected and widely known.
Every one who valued his reputation
shunned the socioty of Hernandez, and
his house became at last the resort
contrabandists from the frontier and
tho s low characters who infested the
city.
Impatient at the long delay in an>
severing tho summon, the count jerked
the bell rope vigorously, and at length
tho host, followed by a pale girl (the
only domestic in the house) showed
themselves.
With many profound bows and apolo¬
gies for the delay, Hernandez took tho
mule to tho stable, while the count fol
lowed the girl, whose name was Isabella,
to the interior of the place, There was
something so gentle aud interesting
about the girl that the count found
himself gazing after u- wherever she
went. He fancied there was a sadness
in her face, and her large eyes sought
his as if she would i • poken to him
But the appearance ionio Hernan¬
dez put a stop to tfaj ;that Issabel

not ing interpret iflrSTgmficance, and dur¬
the evening he saw her no more
A feeling of weariness at length over¬
coming him, the count arose from his
seat in the quaint parlor and signified
his intention of seeing his room.
Hernandez at onee secured a lamp
and escorted the count up stairs, usher¬
ed him into a large ghostly chamber, in
which every article of the cumbrous
furniture was deepened by ago to funer¬
al blackness. Two large mirrors adorn¬
ed the walls, and by their reflections
seemed to stretch out the dimensions of
the dreary apartment to a boundless
extent.
This was tho room in which the ter¬
rible murder was committed, and it
was never occupied, save when some
dark deed was to bo done. The land¬
lord placed the lamp upon the table,
and wishing his guest good-night, went
out and shut.the door. The count turn¬
ed the kev, and by then tbe dim light
ot the lamp surveyed the arpartraent.
It was so gloomy that he turned and
walked to atviadow, supposing that it
looked out on tbe street. He was dis¬
appointed to find that it opened on a
small neglected yard, filled with coarse
vegetation and some mouldering timber.
The moon was partially ebscured by
clouds, but ever and onon threw a flick¬
ering light upon tho desolate scene.
A vague presentiment of evil stole over
the count, and his mind became gloomy.
‘Beware of the Raven.' The words of
the sibyl kept recurring to his memory
Could the warning of a witch have been
prophetic? The count would have left
the room but for a certain sense of
shame the act would engender.
‘Pshaw!’ ho cried, and leaued out
the window to snuff the air.
as he did so he caught tho sound
a suppressed hiss. He listened
tively, and it came again. Casting his
eyes through the darkness, he endeav¬
ored to discover from whence the noise
proceeded, but ho conld see nothing,
and it was only wheD be raised his eyes
UDward toward a small window directly
over his head that he discovered the
figure of Isabella by tbe struggling light j
of the moon. |
the She was jesticulatmg towardHum, but |
moon was so frequently hidden be-1 i
hind dark clouds that he could not for
some the time guess her import. Suddenly |
great orb came out into tbe clear ;
sky, and the count could see the girl ,
him, plainly. and he She could was not two hear stories words above j
tbe
distinctly, for she spoke in such a low j
voice, and, after she had warned him,
she quiekly disappeared. 1
‘For the love of the Virgin, do not '
bed, senor,’she said go i
to ‘Antonio Her
nandez is my uncle, but he is a bad
man, and if you go to sleep, senor, you
may never see the light of the world
again. Don’t betray me, for ray uncle
would kill me if he knew I had spokeD
these words. Adieu!’
The count felt beneath his girdle and
instinctively laid his hand upon the
hilt of his dagger. Then lie walked
to his chamber door, turned the key
and unlocked it, intending to look out
into the corridor, but, to his surprise,
ho found it was fastened upon the out
side—and he was a prisoner lie tried
to force it open, but it resisted all his
efforts. He sat down, and leaning his
head upon his hand, began to meditate,
As ha did so the oil in the lamp became
exhausted, and the light went but. He
felt a strong conviction that some un¬
seen danger hovered near, and that
which was sospicion became a certainty,
Nothing remained now but to await
the attack, and sell his life as dearly
as possible. Tho thoughts of the beau
tiful Julia often occurred to nis mind,
It was to see her again that ho became
involved in his present condition. He
thought, too, of the gypsy, and won-,
tiered what order of being she was to
forecast the peril that should befall
him.
The clouds began to break away from
the face of the heavens and the count
was enabled to see more clearly about
the chamber. He heard the clocks in
tho city toll the hour of midnight, but
all deeiro for sleep had left him and he
was very vigilant.
Approaching the bed, ho pulled down
one of the pillows and disarranged the
covering, throwing it in sort of a heap,
as if a person was reposing there.
Then he walked over the room and
stood with his back to tho wall, watch
iog the chamber door, screened from
the immediate sight of those who might
seek an entrance there by a tall chair
which he placed before him,
While thus upon the alert, a largo
mirror close upon his right gave a click
like that of the lock of a pistol, and
then flow open at the touch of some
person behind it Tho heavy frame
work of tho antique ornament rested
against the chair and coacealed the
count from view. Notwithstanding
cold drops of perspiration stood upon
his tyow, he perfectly calm. In
mirror upon i*e.opposite wall the
d'-’J ue th» .....<S
the*landlord with a knife in one hand
and a lamp in the other, step from the
wall. Cautiously he approached the
bed and raised the weapon in the act
to strike, satisfied that he only had to
contend with a single adversary, when
the count rushed from his concealment
and sprang upon his enemy, dagger in
hand.
A brief but desperate strugglo en¬
sued, in which the count twice struck
the landlord with his dagger; but by
a dexterous movemeut Horuaudez olu
ded the grasp of the infuriated noble¬
man. and, jumping into the wall, pulled
the mirror after him.
For a moment the count could scarce¬
ly believe he had lost nis foe, and it
was only by looking at the mirror as
it fitted close to the wall that he could
realize that the landlord had escaped.
Ho went to the window and called for
assistance, hut there were few persons
abroad that hour of tho night, aud tbe
window of tbe room was far from tbe
street. He went to the door and used
all his efforts to force it open without
success. Exhausteu in tbe unavailing
attempt, he sat down to await tbe break
of day. Hoar after hour passed away,
and at length the welcome gray dawn
began to appear. Presently his ear
caught the sound of a light step, and
he heard a bolt fall from tbe outside,
then the door opened and Issabella
stood before him- She certainly looked
beautiful as she walked into the room,
clad in a simple white robe without any
adornment.
‘Thank you, thank you,’ cried the
count, ‘I shall not forget the service
you have done me, and if I crave a kiss
it is in token of the love which I bear
for one who has been the means of pro
paring me to defend my life.’
Isabella bowed her head and the
count kissed her on the forehead.
‘You know all that has happened ¥’
questioned the count.
‘Yes, senor,’ she replied. ‘My uncle
is seriously wounded, bat the contra
baudists carried him off to tho froutier
before daybreak. Senor. now that you
are safe and free to depart will you do
the favor to conceal this matter
You have dangerous y wounded my
unme, and I beard Jose, the chief
the contrabandist gang, say that if Au
touio reached Segovia alive he would
bo surprised.’
The count was thoughtful for a few
minutes, then he asked: ‘Why, my
dear girl, do you desire to shield this
wretch f Certainly, not because he is
your relation. You do not love him, for
last night you said be would surely kill
you if he knew you had betrayed him.'
‘Listen, senor, and I will explain,’
said the girl. ‘Antonio Hernandez is
the only brother of my mother. When

again, ami the water was full of sharks
too. Great sea monsters, senor. Cer¬
tainly he must have cared something
for me, or he would have allowed me to
be eaten up.' She looked up in his
eyes with a ploadirg expression as she
spoke, and the count drew her near him
aud again kissed her brow,
‘For your sake, I make tho promise,'
ho replied: ‘hut with this condition,
i I that your undo never returns to Ma
dri 1'
j of At spurs that iu moment tho court, there was and a a jingling call for
j Isabella. The descended
1 count the
stairway with her, and at. the landing
met a swarthy fe'low, with a face half
concealed in a slouch hat, who called
Isabella aside and spoke to her in a
low and rapid tone. This done he
jumped upon his mule and galloped
quickly away.
Tho girl stood leaning against the
doorway with her cheeks blanched and
hands tightly clasped, while great tears
rolled down her cheeks.
Divining at once the cause, the count
approached and said: ‘Y'ou have had
bad news, I fear ?’
‘He died before they reached the
mountains,’ she replied. Jose sent ine
word. Alas! alas!’ and she wept bic
teily.
Tho count endeavored to soothe her
grief, and made inquiries as to bor fu¬
ture life.
‘I am alone in the world now,’ she
sobbed.
‘I will see that you are cared for,' he
said ‘and will send a kind person to
yon before night. Conic, cheer up: all
will be well.’
That day Isabella was removed to tbe
convent of Saint Ursula, and placed at
the school under the care of the kind
sisters.
Count de Rivas sought the beautiful
i Julia and learned that, .by a dreadful
; aegident, -r.oftgalvd, she bad been horribly burned
■ ami and was then lying upon
-a bed.,iff ekkaes'H’-em wFjph she might
never rise again, The shock was so
great to him i hat bo started upon his
travels ouce more.
Six months later he was at Andorra,
on the Spanish frontier, when he came
across a band of contrabandists, who
we e coming down from tho Pyrenees.
One fellow, who bad a peculiar limp in
his gait, caught biseye, and he thought
there was something familiar in his
face. The man pulled his cap over his
eyes, aud was hastening by, when the
count sprang to bis side and put his
hand on his shoulder.
‘You are Antonio Hernandez, former¬
ly keeper of tho Raven Ion,’cried the
Count de Bivss.
‘And you aro Count de Rivas,’ was
the reply.
‘We won’t mention the past,’ said the
count: ‘but tell me why you sent word
to that poor girl that you wore dead P
‘Well, senor,’ replied the ruffian, H
was tired of playing landlord where 1
could gather no pesos. I loDged again
for my old life, and I didn’t want to bo
bothered with women. I know all you
have done for tho girl, senor. Little
passes in the cities that Jost’s gang do
not get correctly. Now- let us a iy adieu,
with tho itopo we may never meet
again,’ and tbe ruffian doffed his cap in
derision, aud hurried on after his com¬
panions
A sudden change came over the count.
He hurried back to Madrid, aud sought
the convene of St Ursula, where he had
a loDgiaterview with Isabella, and be¬
fore the orange buds bloomed again in
the garden of the de Bivas mansion at
San Paplo, Isabella became a countess,
and the happy wife of a man whose life
she had been instrumental in preserv¬
ing.
