There was sharp skirmishing; a great part of the Moors were cut to pieces, but about two hundred succeeded in getting into the gates of Malaga. The santon took no part in the conflict, nor did he endeavor to enter the city. His plans were of a different nature.
With one finger upon her lip, her brow calm as the new day, she gazed upon Winnie, till gaining her eye, unobserved by Mrs. Santon she glided away. Instead of the rage Winnie would have poured forth, she merely said, "I will send you the keys," and left the room.
"She is evidently captivated with their people, or perhaps I may more properly say, with the only person she has ever met of that nation," said Mrs. Santon, with a mysterious manner. "To what or whom do you refer?" asked Delwood, in an altered tone of voice. "Mr.

And now, to the cry of "Spain and St. Iago," came trampling down the relentless charge of the Christian war.
But they for whom I toiled, and laboured, and sinned for whom I surrendered peace and ease, yea, and a daughter's person and a daughter's blood they have betrayed me to your hands, and the Curse of Old rests with them evermore Amen!

Forth came not from the crowd, but from amongst Boabdil's train, a well-known Israelite. "We disown this man of blood and fraud," said Elias, bowing to the earth; "but he was of our creed."
