Each head was bent that way, and each
ear heard the rush OF Indians in that
direction. They rode as straight for
the dying man as if il had been broad

they had found him. but it was hardly

But they did reach it after days of
riding, starving and rthirsting, and the
order was delivered and Western Texas
saved from the horrors OF an Indian
war.
Before the wild winds OF winter swept
the bleak plains, solitary horseman
rode from Fort Territt at night. lodging
Indian scouts, and never minding the
gaunt wolves which galloped close be-
hind with their red tongues hanging
from terrible jaws. He crossed the
ravine, rode across the site of the Indian
village, and hating at spot half a
mile beyond, he dug hole in the soft
soil and firmly embedded a post and n
cross. In deep carved letters was the
legend:
q BRAVE MAN DIED HERE
Only that and nothing more, and the
records of the frontier forts show, from
information furnished by the Indians
themselves, that seventeen redskins
were killed and nine wounded in that
wild charge through the village.

tunes that had overw b elmed him
He professed to fear the unsex ed
Jury which was constantly pursu-
ing him, and declared that the only
possibility of escape lay in q re-
moval to the Pacific Coast. There
an old friend and fellow country
man, Col. Hinton, was in position
to help him to employment. The
only source out of which funds
could be gathered was the sale of
his poems, and there is something
pitiable in the terms at which he
offered to dispose of them. In his
letters to his friend in May last he
said:
| am weighted with burdens that almost
kill-that may kill soon.
Sometimes I fear that | am losing nv
grip on myself.
Do you know Of anybody in the city who
would give me one hundred or ono hun
dred and fifty dollars cash down for the

never thought to have breathed these
prlyaeiess to any living msn, but am in
agony OF apprehension and dread concern.
ing The immediate future of my family un-
less can somehow manage to sell my poor
verses for the sum have named. Iwould
sell them for a cket to San Francisco and
one hundred dollars, gladly.
His friend undertook the collec-
tion of the poems with a view to
their sale. He had many of them
preserved in his own scrap book,
but when the poet was asked to
furnish copies Of the others it was
found that he had nothing but a
roll of newspaper extracts in his
pocket, some OF which were worn
away in spots, leaving strange gaps
among the lines. These were care
fully arranged and pasted, and all
were then committed to Realf with
the design of having him supply
the deficiencies, which, in places,
covered whole stauzas. Ia the
meanwhilea pass to San Francisco
had been procured, aud he set out
In good hope.
He met with disappointm ent on
his arrival, but finally secured a
position. and for time wrote reg
ularly and transmitted money to
his wife, who had so far recovered
as to be able to leave the hospital. |
She had not heard from her bus-
band recently, however, and was
unaware yesterday of his suicide.
There is reason to suppose that he
met with a fall not long since,
which may have so far disabled
him as to overthrow the last pillars
or his fortitude. If so, he has
doubtless left something to explain
his f1nal surrender in the battle of
life. Those who knew Richard I
Realf best are disposed to believe
that his death was not designed, |
but was the result of an overdose OF
medicine which lie was accustomed
