• CHAPTER XV.
nOrain.
(Continued from last week.)
The man sat upon the floor with his
back against- the wall. The doctor
• stooped, over him. Antonia and Isabel
stood beside their father.
"We heard of threats approach at
Sin Patrioio. The Irish people of that
settlement welcomed lima with great
.rejoicing. He was 16.-. Cettholic—a de -
/ender of the faith. But the American
settler,' in the surrounding country fled,
and Fannin heard that eve hundred wo-
men and children, followed by the
enemy, were trying to reach the fortress
of Goliad. He ordered Major Ward,
with the Georgia battalions, to go and
meet the fugitives., Many of the of&
dem entreated him ..not- to divide his
men for a - report which had come by
• W5 y of the faithless colony of Zan,
Patricio;
• "But Fanninthought the risk ought
to be taken. He took it, and the live
s hundred women and children paired to
• be a regiment of Mexican dragoons.
They surrounded our infantry on every
side, and after two days desperate
_ fighting, the Georgia battalions were no
more. In the Meantime, Fannin got the
express telling him of the fall of the
Alamo, and ordering him to unite with
General Houston. That might have
been a possible thing with eight hundred
and sixty men, but it was not possible
with three hundred and sixty. How-
ever, we made the effort, and on the
great prairie were attacked by the
enemy lying in ambush there. Entirely
fineiroled by them, yet still fightieg and
pressing onward, we defended ourselves-
nntil our ammunition gave out. • Then
we: accepted the terms of capitulation
offered by Urrets, and were. marched
bach-to Gelled as prisoners of war.
Santa Anna ordered us all to be shot."
's But you were prisoners of war ?"
. "Urrea laughed at the articles, and
said his only intention in them was to
prevent the loss of Mexican blood. .Most
of his officers remonstrated with him,
but he flew into a passion at Ukeleles.
The Senor Presidente's orders are not
to be trifled with. By the Virgin of
Guade.lupe r he cried, tit would be as
much as my OWD, life was worth to dis-
obey- . •
"It gave the 'Mexican soldiers- pleas-
ure to tell us these things, and though.
we scarcely believed such treachery
possible; we Were very uneasy. On the
eighth day after the surrender, a lovely
Sunday morning, we were marohed out
of the tint on the pretence of sending
us to Louisiana, according to the articles
, of surrender, and we were in _high
spirits at the prospect,
"But I noticed that we were • sur-
rounded by a 'double row of soldiers,
and that made me auspicious. In A few
moments, Fannin Was marched into the
centre, and told to sit down on a low
,stool. He felt that his hour had come.
- He took his watch and his purse and
gave them to some poor woman who
stood outside lamenting and praying for
the poor Americans: I shall neva for-
get the calmness and. brightness of his
face.. The Mexican colonel raised his
sword, the drums beat, and the slaugh-
ter began. Fifty men at a time were
shot; and those whom the guns missed
-or crippled, were dispatehed ,with the
bayonet or lance." .
"You escaped. How?" .
"When the lips of the affair moved
to give theorder : Fire! Ifell upon my
face as if dead. As I lay, I was pierced
by:a bayonet through the shoulder, but
I made no sign of life. After the exe-
cution, the camp followers came to rob
the dead. A kind-hearted Mexican wo.
man helped me to reach the river. I
•found a horse tied there, and I took i. I
havebeen on the point of giving 'up life
-severer times, but I met a man coming
• here with the news to Houston, and he
helped me to hold. out."
The doctor was trembling with grief
and anger, and he felt A,ntonia's hand
on his -shoulder.
"My friend," he whispered, "did
you -know John Worth ?"
" Who did not know him in Fannin's
camp? Any of us would have been glad
to save poor Jack; and he had a friend
who refused to live without him."
"Dare Grant?"
"That. was the man, young lady.
Grant was a doctor, and the Mexicans
wanted doctors. They offered him his
life for his services, but he would not
have it unless his friend's lifejvlso was
spared. They were shot holding each
other's hands, and fell together. I was
- watching their faces at the moment.
There Wasn't a bit of fear in them."
• - The Senora rose, and came as swiftly
as a spirit to: them. She looked like a
woman walking -in ber sleep. She
touched the stranger. "I heard. you.
You saw Dere Grant die. . But my boy!
My boy I Where is My Juan ?" 3*
Maria, darling." •
"Don't speak, Roberto. Where
my Juan? Juan Worth ?"
'Madam. I am sorry enough, GM
• know, Juan Worth—was shot."
Then the wretched mother threwup.
her hands, and with an awful cry fell to,
the ground. It was hours ere she re-
covered censcioustess,. and conscious-
• ness only restored her to misery.
The distress of the father, the - broth-
er and sisters of the dead youth was
submerged -in the speechless despair of
the mother. She could ncit swallow food;
she turned away from the sympathy of
all, who -loved her. Even Isabel's °ar-
mies were received with au apathy-
which,waa terrifying. With the sev-
ered cull of her boy's hair in - her fin -
pre, she sat in :tendon, voiceless an -
gash. -
Poor Antonia, weighed down with the
double loss that had come to her, felt,
for the first time, as if their condition
was utterly hopeless. The mental
picture of her brother and her
lover 'meeting their tragic death
hand in hand, their youth and
beauty, their courage and fidelity, was
constantly before her. With all the
purity and strength of her true heart;
she loved Dare; but she did not for a
moment wish that he had taken a dif-
erent course. "It is just what I should
have expected from him," she said to
Isabel. "If he had let poor Jack die
alone. I could never have loved him in
the same way again. But oh, Isabel,
bow miserable I am ?" • - -
"Sweet Antonia, I can .only weep
with you. Think of this; it was on last
Sunday morning. Do you remember
how sad. you were ?"
was in what seemed to be an un- S
•
reasonable distress. I went away to
weep. Myivety thoughts were tired
With their sorrowful journeys up and
down my mind, trying to find out hope
and • only meeting deep*: Oh, my
dear Dare) what..a cruel . fate was
yours I"- .
"And. mi madre, Antonia? titter, in-
deed, that she will lose her senses.She
will not speak to Thomas, nor even to
me. She has not said a prayer since
.Tisok's death. . She cannot speak. *I am
afraid of her; Anlainia."
"To -night We Mr to move further
east; perhaps the urney may, waken
her out of this tranceof grief. I can
see that our father is Wretched, about
her; and Thomai matiders in and out
of the room as if his heart was broken."
"Thomas loved Jack. Luis told- me
that he sit with him and Lopez, -and
that he sobbed like a woman. But also
t
be mean* a great revenge. - None of the
men slept last night. They etood by
the camp -fires talking. Sometimes I
went to the door and looked out. How
awful they were In the blaze and dark-
ness la think, indeed, they could have
conquered Santa Alma. very easily."
Isabel hadnotmisjudged the spirit of
the camp. The news of .the massacre
at Goliad was answered by a call for
vengeance that nothing but vengeance
-could satisfy. On the following cl,ey
Houston addressed his little army. Re
reminded them that.they were the chil-
dren of heroes who foughtfor theirliberty
akYorktown, and Saratoeat and Bunker
Hill. He made a soil stirring review of -
the events thathad passed ;Ale explain- -
ed to them their situation, and the de-
signs of the enemy, and :how he pro.
posed to meet them.
His voice; loud as a trumpet with a
silver Sound, inspired'all who heard it
with courage. His large, bright visage,
serious but hopeful, seemed to sun the
camp.- j• They live too long," he -cried,
"who outlive freedom. And I promise
you that you ishall have a hill cup of
vengeance. 'For every man that fell
fighting. in the Alamo, for every one
treacherously .slaughtered at Golfed,
you shall be satisfied. If I seem to -be
flying before the enemy now, it for
his destruction. Three Mexican- armies
united, we cannot fight. We can fight
them singly. And every mile we make
them follow us weakens them, separates
them,- confuses them. The low. lands of
the Brazos, the unfordsble streams, the
_morasses, the pathless woods' are in
league with us. And we must „ „place
our-wdmen and children in safety. Even
if we have to carry, thein to General
Gaines and the .Vnited States troops,
we must protect them, first of all. I be-
lieve that we shall win our freedom with
our own hands; but if the worst cense,
and we hive to fall bacik to the 'Sabine,
we shall find friends and backers there.

be has provided . -it. And the -freedom of.

hours." .
mging shouts answered the sum-
mons. The camp ,was in the tumult of
preparation itnmediately ; Houston was
lending his great physical strength to
the mechanical difficulties to be. encoun-
tered. . A • crowd of men was around.
Suddenly a woman touched him on the
arm, and- he straightened himself and
looked at her. "You will kill Santa
Anna, General? You will kill this
fiend who has escaped from helil Bythe
mother of Christ, I ask it."
"My dear: madam.'"
He waseo moved with pity that, he
could not for a moment or two give her
any stronger assurance. For this sup-
pliant, pallid and frenzied with eorrow,
was the once *beautiful Senora Worth.
He looked at her hollow eyes,and shrunk-
en formoind worn clothing, and remem-
bered with a pang, the. lovely, gracious,
lady clad in Sethi and lace, with ajety-
ailed comb. in her fine hair and a jewel-
led fan in her beautiful hands, and a
wave- of pity and anger. passed like a
flame over -his face.
By the memory of my own dear
mother, I will make Santa Anna pay the
full price of his cruelties." .
"Thank you, Senor ;" and she glided
away with -her teirress, eyes fixed upon
the curl of black hair in her open
palm.

dependence, was drawn up with states-
manlike ability by David G. Burnett, a
native of New Jersey., a man of great
learning, dignity and experience; who,
as 'early as -1808, sailedlrom New York
to join Miranda in his effort to give
Spanish America liberty. - The paper
need not be quoted here. It gave -the
greatest prominence to the refusaof
-trial by jury, the failure to establish a
System of publieeduoation, the tyranny
of military law, the demand that the
colonists should give up arms: necessary
for their protection or their sustenance,
the inciting,of the Indians to massacre
the American settlers, and the refttail of
the right to worship the Almighty -
ac-
oordisg to the dictates of their own
consciences. Burdett was elected Gov-
ernor, and Houston felt that he could
now give his whole attention to military
affairs.
The seat of Government was removed
to, Harrisburg, a small place on the Buf-
falo 13ajrou; and Houston was sure that
this change would cause- Santa Anna to
diverge from his route to Nacogdoches.
He dispatched orders to the men scat-
tered up and down the Brazos from
Washington to Fort Bend--adhtance of
eighty miles—to join him on the march
to flarrisburg, and he struck hie own
camp at the time he had specified.::
In less than twenty-four boars they
reached San Felipe, a distance of 28
miles. The suffering of the women and
children on that march can never be
told. .Acts of heroism on the part of
the men and of fortitude on the part of
the women that are almost incredible,
marked every step ef the, way. . The
Senora sat in her wagon, speechless, and

ness. -4. i , .
It was on this - night that. Houston
wrote: "1 will do the best 1 cin;: :but
be assured the . fame of Jackson 1- could
never compensate me for my anxiety and
mental pain." And yet t when he was
told that a blind woman and her seven
children had been puled by, and did
not know the enemy were approaching,
he delayed the mareh until,. men had
been sent back to bring them to safety.
During these days of grief and pr*
vation Isabel's-nature. grew to its finest,
proportion& ' :Her patient, efforts- to
arouse her mother, and her cheerfuliest

About ten o'clock that night„ Doctor
• Worth was sitting with his' wife and
Children and Antonia in one corner of a
room in a deserted cabin. He had the
Senora's wasted hand in his own, and
was talking to her. She sat in apathetic
silence. It was impossible to tell wheth-
er she heard or understood him.
"1 wonder where Isabel is," said
Antonia; and with the words the girl
entered the room. She had, kiwi arms
a•little lad of four years old, suffering
the tortures of the croup.
"Mi madre," she cried, " yolii know
how to Oave him! He iedying Save
him I Listen to me! The ' Holy Mother
says -so ;" and she laid the child On. her
knee. - '

brushed 'down everything' else. In the
child's agony she forgot her own grief.

tonia encouraged her in her good Work,

relieved and was sleeping against her
breast; the Senorahad wept. The stone
.-,from her heart had -been rolled away by
a little child. Her own selfish sorrow
had been buried in a waveof holy, un-
selfiali maternal taffection. The key to -
'her nature had been fetind, and hence-
