Belfont wandered from town to town,

had no friends in England; but, at
last, remembering me, he made his
way toward my residence. AS he
crossed the bridge, the moonlit
waters seemed to him to offer him
peace and repose. A species of mad.
ness seized him. He could see only
those calm waters, and-but you
know the rest. e<-
The day following my interview
with him the poor fellow grew worse,
and modification supervened. Feel
ing he was dying, he prayed of me
to see Miss - and explain away
the terrible imputations under which
he had suffered; then. with almost
his last breath, he said: Crawford,
a good resolve should never be
broken. Had I manfully battled
against my passions, as against the
enemy, this misery had been spared

poor friend passed away. tl=

Concluded.

ccSoLUDED.
Nothing shall induce me to fight
a duel, he said, solemnly. ST have
promised, have sworn to one whose
beloved father fell in duel, and
whose love would be changed to hate.
To please woman, many man has
fought. To please woman, I refuse
to fight, woman who has suffered
in her deepest affections from this
cursed code of honor, and who, did I
break the pledge, would hold me
,accursed, and the meanest thing on
earth. Have I not O reason for my
refusal?"
Enough, my dear friend; and I
am not the less pleased to believe
that your refusal is, after all, less
based upon your promise than upon
settled principle, or amidst such
temptations as exist here you could
never have sustained it.
After this sad affair, Belfont be-
came an altered man, and, although
his brother officers endeavored by
every attention to show their entire
belief in his innocence, he became
dull and gloomy, was seldom to be
seen at mess, and never among the
billiard or monte players, where we
passed our leisure time. Indeed, his
health was becoming so visibly in
jured, that even Old Dragon, the
colonel, now thoroughly unpopular
from his sons conduct, besought
him earnestly to go to England upon
sick leave; but neither the entreaties
,,f frta do
upon him to leave the service before
the assassin had been discovered, or
until he had proved by his gallantry
in some well-fought field, that he was
not actuated by shameful motives in
his repugnance to dueling.
Atlength the opportunity he sought
for came. The terrible 9th of May,
when, by the cowArdice of the
Spaniards, who left the brunt of the
action to the English, the minority
of our officers were shot down like
partridges.
Throughout that day, Belfont
fought like madman; wherever the
cannonading was the heaviest, or the
fire of musketry the hottest, there
he was to be found, cheering and
leading on his men; the major, the
captains the lieutenants were all shot
down, leaving the command of the
decimated regiment to Belfont-in
fact, he madly sought death, but
seemed to bear charmed life. and
by his terrible bravery did no little
to. turn the balance in our favor.
After this action, he moved among
his surviving brother officers more
proudly, the fancied stain upon his
honor seemed to be wearing away,
and he might have regained his hap
piness, but for another insult that
wore into his proud heart. Many
were the decorations distributed for
that days work, but neither cross,
medal or promotion to the bravest
man in the service. The colonel had
been empowered to recommend to
the gena.a! a given numb oi officers
and men. Belfont was purposely
passed over, that decoration might
be given to Billy O'Dragon. This
was too much: his passion boiled,
the two met at mess, Billy wore his
decoration and covertly bullied Bel
font. The officers sided with Bel
font, warmer words followed-the
young scoundrel again accused him
