"Secret service! I prefer those who
have the courage of their convictions);
• and who can stand by them publicly,".
"This is to be considered, • Senorita;
the man who can be silent can also
speak when the day for speaking ar-
rives." No one -opposed this statement,
It did not seem worth while to discuss
opinions,- while the terrible facts of the
position were appealing to every sense.
As the day went on, the conflict evi-
dently became closer and fiercer. °K -
VA went back to the city, and the three
lonely vroinen,knelt upon the house -top,
listening in terror.to the tumult of the
battle. About noon_ the firing ceased,
and an awful silence—a silence that
• made the ears ache to be relieved of, it-
- followed.
"Allis over i" moaned Antonia, and
she covered- her face with her hande and
sobbed bitterly. Isabel had already ex-
hausted tears. The Senora, with her
crucifix in her hand, was praying for the
gear, unfortunates dying without
prayer.
During the afternoon, smoke- and
flame, and strange and sickening odors
were blown northward of the city, and
for some time it seemed Probable that a
great conflagration would follow th
battle. How they longed for some on
to come The utmost of their calamit
would be better than the intolerab
suspense. But hour after hour went
past, and not even Ortiz arrived. They
began to fear that both he and Navarro
had been discovered in some disloyalty
and slain, and Antonia was heart -sick
when iheponsidered the helplessness of
their situation.
Still, in, accordance with Navarro's
instructionsg, they dreesed for the con-
templated journey, and sat in the dark,
anxiously listening for footsteps. About
eleven o'clock Navarro and Ortiz came
together. Ortiz went for tho horses,
and Navarro sat down beside the Sen-
ora. She asked him, in a low voice,.
what has taken place, and be answered:
• "Everything dreadful everything
. •
cruel, and monstrous, and inhuman!
.Among the angels in heaven there is sor-
fow and anger this night." His:voice
. had in it all the Pathos of tears, but tears
mingled with a burning indignation.
"The Alamo has fallen 1"..
"Senorita Antonia, r itsuld giro my
soul to undo this day's work. It is a
disgrace' to !Lexie° which centuriee
cannot wipe out."
"The Americans
"Are all with the Merciful One."

"I will tell you. It is right to tell

heard it from the lips of one wet -shod_
with their blood, dripping crimson
from the battle—my own cousin, Xavier
- He was with General Castrillon'a divi-
- sion. They began their attack at four
in the morning, and after two hours'
desperate fighting succeeded in reach-
ing &courtyard of the Alamo, -
* "They foind the windows and doors;
barricaded with bags of earth. Behind
these the Americans fought hand to
hand with despairing valor. Bemires,
• Cies= and Bares led the columns, and
Santa Anna gave the signal of battery
near the bridge. When the second
eharge was driven back, ho became
furious. Ho put himself in front of the
inen, and with shouts' and oeths- led
• - them to.the third charge. Xavier said
• that he inspired them, with his own
frenzy. They reached' the foot of the
wall, and the ladders were placed in po-
tation. The officers fell to the rear and
_ forced the manta mend them. As they
reached the top they were stabbed, and
the ladders °overturned. Over and
ever, and over again these attempts
were made, anti/ the garrison in. the
Alamo were exhausted with the strug-
gle." '
Navarro siaused a few minutes, over -
powered by his emotions. No oneiPoke.
' He could see-Antonia's face, white as a
spirit's, in the dim light, and he knew
that Isabel WAS weeping •andthat the
Senora had taken his hand. '‘ /
"At last, at the hour Of ten, the out-
er wall was gained. Then room by
room was taken with slaughter incred-
ible. There were fourteen Americans'
'in the hospital. They fired their rifles
and pistols from their patete with such
kxb
deadly lam that Milagros t ned a --can-
non, *hotted with grape an ' canister
upon them. They were blown to pieces,
but at the entrance Of the door they
Left forty dead Mexicans." •
"Ah Senor, Senor! tell me no . more.
Myleart can not endure.it."
"Mi matIre,." answered Isabel,. "we
niust hear it all.. Without it, one can-
-not learn to hate Santa Anna sufficient-
ly ;" - and her small 'white teeth snap.

Lopez with an -Imperative "Proceed;"
'Colonel Bowie was lielplese in, bed.
Two Mexican officers fired at him, and
one ran forward to stab him ere he died.
The dying man caught his murderer by
Abe hair i of his head, and plunged his
knife I into. his heart. They went to
'judgment at the iame moment."
"I am glad of it! Glad of it ! The Amer-
ican would say to the Almighty: 'Thou
gayest me life, and thou gayest me free;
dom .sfreedom, that is the nobler gift of
the twa. This manrobbed.me of both.'
And God is just. The .Judge of the
whole earth4ill do right.", . - •
"At noon, only six of the one hun-
dred and 'eighty-three were left alive.
They were surrounded by Castrillon and
his soldiers. Xavier says his general
was penetrated with admiration for these
heroes-. Ile spoke sympathisingly -to
Crockett, who stood in an angle of the
fort; with his shattered -rifle in his right
hand, and his massive knife," dripping
with blood, in his left. His face was
gashed, his white hair crimson with
blood: but a sabre of Mexicans, dead
and dying, were around him. At his
side was Travis, but so exhausted, that -
he was scarcely alive. -
- " Castrillon could not kill these he-
roes. He asked their lives of Santa
Anna, who -stood with a scowling, sav-
age face in this . last titadel of his foes.
For- answer, he turned to the .men •
around him, and said, with a malignant
emphasis: ' Fire l' It was the kat vol-
ley, Of the defenders. of the Alamo,
not one WAS left." '
• A solemn silence followed. For tt .few
minutes it was painful in its. intensity.
Isabel, broke it. She spoke in a whis-
per, but her voice was full of intense
feeling. "1 • wish indeed the -whole
city had been burnt up. There was a.
fire this afternoon ; r would be glad if
it were burning yet." ... .
"May God pardon us all, Senor"ta I
_That lea fire which does not go out It
will burn for ages. I will explain' I my: -
self. Santa Anna had the dead Ashen -
cans put into ox -wagons, and carried to
an open - field outside the city; There
they were burnt to ashes. The glorious
pile was still casting lurid - flashea,and
shadows as I passed it." f "
"I will bear no more! I 'will hear no
more I"' cried the -Senora. "And I will
go away from here. Ah, Senor, why do
you not make haste ?° In a few hours we
shall have daylight again. I am in ter-
ror. Where is Ortiz?".
• "The horses are not caught in five
minutes, Senora. But listen,there is the
roll of the wagon on the flagged court.
All, then, is ready. Senora, show now
that you are of a noble house, and in
this hour of. adversity, be brave, as the
Flores have always been." -
She waicpleased by the entreaty, and
took his arm with At composure - which,
though assumed was a sort of strength.
She entered the wagon With her daugh-
ters, and uttered no word Of complaint.
Then Navarro looked the gate, and took
his seat beside Ortiz. The prairie turf
deadened the beat of their horses'
hoofs; they went at a flyingace, and
hen the first pallid light o .t e morn -
g touched the east, they had left San
ntonio' far behind, and were nearing
e beautiful banks of the Cibolo.

"Grief fills the room up of my absent child;

- ;Near midnight, on March the ninth,
the weary fugitives arrived at Gon-
zales. - They had been detained by the
deep mod in the bottom lands, and by
the extreme exhaustion of the ladies,de-,
mending come hours' rest each day: The
village was dark and quiet. Here and
there the glimmer of a candle, now and
then -the call of a sentry, or the wail of
a child, broke the. mysterious silence.
Ortiz appeared to know- the grand
perfectly. He drove without hesita-
tion to a log house in which faint
threed of light was observable, and as
haapproached it, he gave a long pecu-
liar whistle. The door was instantly
thrown open, and as the wagon stopped,
.two men stepped eagerly to cit. In an-
other instant the Senora was weeping in
her husband's arms, and Isabel laughing
and crying and (immuring her sweet
surpiases into the ear of the delighted
Luis.. When their wraps had been re.
-moved from - the wagon, ()Ali 6ove
-away,leaving Navarro and Antonia
standing by the little pile of ladies' lug-
gage. k•,..
"I will take charge of all, Senorita,
Alas How weary you are 1"
• "It is nothing, Senor. Let me thank
you for -your great kindraies."

She had given him her hand with her
little speech of thanks, and he. raised it
to his lips. It was an act of hotnage
that he might have offered to a saint,
but in it Lopez unconsciously revealed
to Antonia the secret Live in his heart.
For he stood in the ,glow of light from
the open door,- and his handsome face
showed, as in a glass darkly, the ten-
derness and hopelessness of his great
affection. -She was tont:lied by the dis-
covery, and though she had A nature

and there was a bed in the.. Nom, and a

erty of. her surrounding/. She had her

Presently the ceffee-pot Wife boiling,
• and Doctor Worth and Litis brought out
their small store of corn bread and their
tin•camp cups, and theweary women
ate 'and drank, and comforted themselves
in the love and protection at their side.
Doctor Worth sat by his wife, and gave .
Antonia his hand. Isabel liana. her
pretty head againet Luis; and listened -
'With happymike to his low words:
, "Charming little One, your lips are.

. is there any woman Who cannot im-
agine Isabel's, shy glances, and the low,
sweet words in which she answered such
:delightful protestations? And soon, to
add a keener zest to his happiness, Luis
began to be a little_jealous.
"With MI is Made Bonilla. 2 Do you

- No one heeded this pretty; extrava-
gant talk. It was •a thing apit-rt from
the more !serious interests . dis timed by
Doctor Worth- and his wife/fa a eldest
daughter. And when Orta and Navarre
joined the circle'the story Of the fall of
the Alamo was told again, andiLuit-: for-
got his own happiness, and wept Itears
of anger and pity for the dead heroes.

"Houston.! That ii the nil , of vic-

"It is probable that the news of this
movement influenced— Santa Anna , -to

" It is his nature to be brute:Pr
' "True, Ortiz; yet I can imagine how
this proclamation would ' ince se him.
On the morning of the sixth, he cont' •

poor Travis - from the .Alamo. It was
of the most thrilling character, breath-
ing the very spirit of patriotism and
courage—and despair. In less than in
hour, Houston, with a few companions,
Was on his way to the Ilania. At the
same time he sent an express tol'annin,
urging him to meet him on the Cibolo.

- "Then he will learn -that all help Dr.

- But Houston had learned it in his

"The Alamo has. fired its laitt gun,"
he said, on rejoining his companions,

At Gonzales he heard the particulars.
And he saw that the news had exerted
a depreseinginfluence upon the i troops
there. He called them together. He.
spoke to thnn of the brutal tragidy;and
he invested its horrors with - the grand-
eur of eternal purpose and the eery of

He immediately sent off another ex-

fall of the Alamo; ordered him t bldw

Then he sent wagons into the suis ouna-
