Nor Pelistes encountered so skillfully wielded a blade.
But the Gothic warrior had been hurt by his fall.
This gave Magued the advantage, and he sought to take his noble adversary alive.
Finally, weak from loss of blood, the gallant Goth gave a last blow and fell prostrate.
In a moment Magued's point was at his throat, and he was bidden to ask for his life or die.
No answer came.
On lacing the helmet of the fallen knight, Magwed found him insensible.
as he debated with himself how he would get the captive of his sword to the city.
A group of Moorish cavaliers rode up and gazed with astonishment on the marks of the terrible fight.
The Christian knight was placed by them on a spare horse, and carried to Cordova's streets.
As the train passed the beleaguered church, its garrison, seeing their late leader a captive in Moorish hands, sallied fiercely out to his rescue, and for some minutes the street rang sharply with the sounds of war.
But numbers gathered to the defence and the assailants were driven back, and the church was entered by their foes, the clash of arms resounding within its sacred precincts.
In the end, most of the garrison were killed, and the rest made prisoners.
The wounded knight was tenderly cared for by his captor, soon regaining his senses, and in time recovering his health.
Magued, who had come to esteem him highly, celebrated his return to health by a magnificent banquet at which every honor was done the noble knight.
The Arabs knew well how to reward valour, even in a foe.
In the midst of the banquet, Pelistes spoke of a noble Christian knight he had once known, his brother in arms, and the cherished friend of his heart, one whom he had most admired and loved of all the Gothic host.
His old and dear comrade, Count Julian.
He is here, cried some of the Arabs enthusiastically, pointing to a knight who had recently entered.
Here is your old friend and comrade Count Julian.
