I will weep no . more. They put my Juan's body in the grave, but they have not buried him." All day she was silent and full of thought, but her hop was smiling and hopeful, and she had the air of one waiting for. some assured happiness. About three o'clock in the afternoon she stood up quickly and cried,," Hark -I the battle has begun !" Every one listened intently, and after a short pause the old- est of the guides nodded. "I'd giv thereat of my life to be young agai ' he said, "just for three hours t young, and behind Houston !" "To•morrow we shall hear." The words fell front the Sen With a singular significance.. and voice werethe face a some glad -diviner, trium ing her own augury. grove of trees she walk • be a s lips er face voice of antly carry - rider a little until sunset, pegging the beads of h r rosary through her fingers, and mec anicany whisper- • ing the prayers appointed. The act undoubtedly qnieted her, but Antonia - knew that she la awake all night,pray- ing for the living or the dead. About ten e ock of the morning of • the 22nd, a horseman was seen coming toward the camp at full speed. Women and child ti stood breathlessly waiting. his appr ach. No one could speak. If a child itiojed, the movement was angrily reproved. The tension was too great to admit of a touch through any sense. Some, unable to bear the extended etraullsank upon the ground and cover- ed their faces with their hands. But the half-grown children, wan with pri- vations and fever, raggeol and barefoot; watched steadily horse/and its rider; their round, gleaming eyes full of °won- der and fear., "It is Thomas," said the Senora. As he came near, and the lest of the horse's hoofs could be heard, a cry al- most inarticulate, not to be described, shrill and agonizing in its intensity, • b:oke out simultaneously from the _ anxious women.- It was one cry from • many hearts, all at the last point of en- durance. Thomas Worth understood: it. He flung his hat up; and answered. with a joyful " Hurrah When he reached the camp every face was wet with fears, and a crowd of faces was instantly round him. All the agonies of war were on them. He raised Mins& in his stirrups and shout- ed out . • "You may all -go back to your homes!

Your husbands will join you at the Jacinto, • Then he dismounted and sought his 'mother and sisters. With joyful amaze- ment he recognized the change in the 'Senora. "You look like yourself, dear mother." be said. Father sends you . this kiss. He would have brought it, but there are a few wounded men_ to look after; and also I can ride quicker. An- tonia, cheer- up my dear 1—and Isabel, little darling, you will not need to cry. any more for your ribbons and mantillas and pretty dresses." "Thomas!You have not much feeP ing, I think. What I want to know about is Luis. You think of no one; and,and as for my dresses and mantillas, I dare say Fray Ignatius has sold or burne&them." " Queridita I. Was I cruel? -Luisis well.

"We will go back with you, Thomas. I am full of impatience. I remember my dear home. I will go to it, like a bird to its nest." • r In half an hour ihey.had turned the heads of the horses westward again. They went so rapidly, and were under so unIckexcitement,, that ,sustained eon, versation was impossible. And the Senora also fell into El soundsleepas soon as the first homeward ,eteps had 'been • taken. Whatever had .been • made known to her by Juan had received its fulfilment. She was assured and happy. She slept till they reached the victorious Camp, and her husband awakened her with a kiss. She answered him her with her old childish impulsiveness. And among the first _words she said, were: "Roberto, my beloved, I have seen Juan," He believed her. To his reverent•soul there was nothing incredible in the statement.- The tie between a mother and her child is not broken by death. Was it unlikely, then, that Juan should have beenconscious of, and touched by, the mental agony which his, untimely death had caused a mother so beloved 1 And ohl how different was the re- turn to the 'ground west of the Buffalo Bayou. The very atmosphere was .changed. 4 day or two of spring had brought out the flowers and unfolded every green thing. Doctor Worth took his family to a fine Mexican marquee, and among other comforts the Senora found there the chocolate she had 86 long craved, and some eigaritos of most delicate flavor. In a short time a luxurious meal was prepared by Antonia, and just as they were-sitting.down to it, Louis and Lo; pez entered the tent together. Isabel had expected the visit and •prepared for it as far as her limited wardrobe -per- mitted. And her fine hair, and bright eyes, her perfect face and form, and the charming innocence of her mannere, adorned her as the color and perfume of the roge make the beauty of the. flown. She was so lovely that she could dare to banter Luis en - the splendour of his attire. "It is evident, ini - madre, that Luis i / has found at hest the baggage Of a Mr the men who ha. its edge.

It was won. The great fact had been as much is they could could bear at first. The Senora wanted to sleep. Isabel wanted to gee Luis; Only An- tonia was anxious for details, and she had been busy in preparing the re- spectable meal which her mother had so long °reared. The apparent indiffer- ence was natural 'enough. Tho- assur- ance of good fortune is always sufficient for the first -stage_ of reaction from anxiety. When the most urgentper- sonal feelings have been satisfied, then ;clothes the demand for detail • and.dis- . cussion. So now, as ,they sat together,. the Senora said: "No one.has told me anything about the. battle. Were you present, Ro- berto ?" • . "I had that great honor, Maria. .I40. .pez and Luis were with the cavalryand -Ortiz aleo has had some satisfaction for - all his wrongs," "Very good: 1 But I ant impatient for the story; so is Antonia; and as for Isabel—bah! the little one is listening to another story.

Houston thought it prudent to clash their enthusiasm by uncertainty and waiting. But .at dawn,•. on the twenty:first, we heard the three taps of the dram, and the seven: hundred :sol- diers sprang to their lest as one man. Houston had been _watching all night. - He spoke to 'us with a tongue of tire; and then, while We cooked and ate our breakfast, he lay down and slept.The sun came up without a cloud, and itione brightly on his face. He sprang to his feet and, said to Burleson, AS he saluted him: Theeitin of Austerlitz has TiSell again." - - 'Some one brought hiin a piece of corn bread and broiled 'beef. He sat upon the grass and ate it—or rather upon the blue hyacinths that covered the grass; they are red now. ; -For many z weeks I had net seen his countenance SO bright; ailtraces of trouble and anxiety were gone. He called Deaf Smith -:.-the scout of seents—andquickly ordered .him. to cut down the only bridge acrogs! the bayou. ' ' • "At nine o'clock, General Cos jellied Santa Anna with 'five hundredandforty ineu, and for a moment 1 thought we had made a mistake in not attacking the enemy before his reinforcements_ came up.: But the knowledge that Cos was present, raised -enthusiasm to the highest pitch. Our troops -remembered his parole at the Alamo ;and the shame - fat manner in which he!had broken it; and there was not a man who did not long to kill him for it. . "About three o'clock in the afternoon Houston • ordered the attack. - The seven hundred Americans were divided into _three bodies. , los* Houston in the very.bentre of the -line, and*I have a confused memory of Milard and Lamar, Burleson and Sherman and Wharton; in front of their divisions." .1 "Were the Mexicans expecting the attack, father ?" , "_" They'aVere in perfect- order, An- tonia ;.and. when Sherman sheuted the : battle -cry 'Rember the Alamo! *Go•••'' lied and the Alamo!' it l'Avas Olken up by the whole seven hundred, and Such a shout of vengeance mortal ears never. heard before.

No time for reloading them,: We blab- bed our rifles till they broke, flung them away and•fired our pistols in the eye* of the enemy; then, nothing -else _remain- ing, took out our bowie knives from our belts and cut our way through. the walls of living flesh.". •-• . Lopez rase at the words, It was hp- • possible for him to express himself Suf- ficiently in atttitnde of repose. His eyeaglowed like fire, his dark face was like a flame, he threw up his hands. as he cried: . "Nothing comparable to that charge With- knives was ever made on earth! If I had seen through the smcike and vapor the mighty shade of Bowie leading it, 1 should not have been surprised." "Perhaps indeed, he - did lead it," said the Senora in a solemn voice. "I saw, yes, by all the saints of God!• I saw a great host with my jeam They stretched out vat, shadowy arms—they Made Me feel- whati Can never tell.

A little awe, a- solemn silence, answer- ed the earned woman. Luis and Isa- bel came close to her, and Isabel took her -hand. Lopez resumed the conversa- tion.
