The Frenchman was, in fact, deeply moved when all this united sorrow exploded in the cry: "O Nume d'Israel, Se brami in liberta Il popol tuo fedel, Di lui di noi pieta!" "Never was a grander synthesis composed of natural effects or a more perfect idealization of nature.

When he returned to the Spaniard, he found him asleep fatigue had prevailed over grief and resolution; Martin Paz was careful not to awaken him; a little sleep might do him much good; but, while he himself watched, resting the head of Don Vegal on his knees and piercing with his quick glances the surrounding shadows, he sent Liberta to seek below on the river some trace which might guide them at the first rays of the sun.

The canoe was hurried on with increasing rapidity and began to whirl. Suddenly a man appeared on the opposite shore It is Martin Paz! Beside him, are Don Vegal and Liberta. "My daughter! my daughter!" exclaims the father, kneeling on the shore. "My father!" replied Sarah, raising herself up with superhuman strength. The scene was indescribable.

"Viva la liberta!" they cried, pounding the tables in the café. "Come, comrades! We have plenty of money. Drink to the great country of America!" Vito and Antonio listened with envy. One evening the elder brother asked Antonio to come to walk with him. When they had gone a little way he said suddenly: "Toni, I think I shall go to this America. We need more money to make our mother comfortable.

And, followed by his domestics, he sprang out of the house. Martin Paz fled rapidly through the streets of the city. The negro Liberta followed him; but did not appear disposed to dispute with him the possession of the young girl. At two hundred paces from the dwelling of the Jew, Paz found some Indians of his companions, who had assembled at the whistle uttered by him.

He wore a short dark-coloured coat of coarse cloth, scarlet waistcoat and breeches, and black spatterdashes; his cap or bonnet was of black cloth; on the front of it was embroidered in gold letters viva la liberta, and on one side of it was a handsome blue feather and cockade, so that it had an elegant as well as a warlike appearance.

"Get quickly back to Gersau," she said to the boatmen, "I will not let my poor Emilio pine ten minutes longer than he need." "What has happened?" asked Rodolphe, as he saw Francesca finish reading the last letter. "La liberta!" she exclaimed, with an artist's enthusiasm. "E denaro!" added Gina, like an echo, for she had found her tongue. "Yes," said Francesca, "no more poverty!

"But we must cross this river, and we cannot lose time in constructing a canoe." "We will swim across." "Courage, then, my father! Liberta and myself will sustain you."

Suddenly her glance rested on a man who was gliding silently among the avenues of the magnolia; she recognized him; it was Liberta, her servant. He seemed to be watching some invisible enemy, now sheltering himself behind a statue, now crouching on the ground. Sarah was afraid, and looked around her. She was alone, entirely alone. Her eyes rested on the gardens, and she became pale, paler still!

She ascended them toward the bridge: numbers of soldiers, mestizoes, and Indians, were stationed at various points on the shore. Liberta had acquainted the young girl with the events of the night. In compliance with her orders, he interrogated some Indians leaning over the parapet, and learned that although Martin Paz had been undoubtedly drowned, his body had not yet been recovered.
