He went alone; he could not assemble a mounted force sufft c:enty nurnerons to warrant him in attack I th brigands, owinj- to the hidalgo's vas tals. having gone to the Valencian camp, and: a weak force would only serve to at tract attention, and place Zurbaran on his 1 guard- The sun was declining . when he ; left the castle, and the cork-trees threw theif broad shadows across the read.

To be in the' hands j of the Infidel Moors was, to the mind ofInez,a fate as driadful as that fiom which she had been .'rescued ; Abdunaham was, in her appre- heriion, a being to be dreaded ras muc as Bodeilgo. But her lover was of a sanguine temperament, and saw in this change of eircumstances an interposition- of Provi dence in their behalf ; moreover, his mind had received the illumination of the sun of knowledge, and he shared not the horror With which the Moslems were generally, regarded. He knew that 'the! spirit of chivalry animated the Moorish! kings as fully ras the most illustrious knights of Christendom, .
