THE YOUNG HERO OF TEXAS.
Thrilling Incident in the Fight for Independence
II. O.
Bu T. O. HARBAUGH.


Copyright. 1897 by S. s. Mcclure Co)
During the time Texas was making her
great fight for independence against General
Santa Anna and his Mexicans there stood
near the banks of ono of the fairest streams
in the Lone Star state a little cabin which
long ago gave way to the onward march Of
civilization
1t was typical home of those days, with
very little surrounding it indicative OF re-
finement back of 1t lay a vast forest with
tall trees whose tops seemed to cleave the
blue skies, while in front stretched an open
bit of country covered with wavy grass
which undulated in the wind like great
ocean.
The little family that inhabited this primi-
tive home consisted of three, the parents
and boy of 16. The boy himself was the
best known Of the trio, for he was renowned
as a real little woodsman despite his years,
and all the shooting matches knew him well,
and Kit Bcnson's sharp ears picked up good
deal about the struggle for Texan liberty
and her heroes.
He heard a great deal about General Sam
Houston, who had been appointed COM
mander-in-chlef of the Texas army, but he
had never seen the redoubtabe man who
had left Cherokee wigwam to fight for the
liberty of an oppressed people
One afternoon. while the sun hung low in
the western heavens, Kit walked from the
small town where he had spent a part of
the day and turned his face homeward
He had long trip before him. but he
hardly expected to reach home that night
having made up his mind to find secluded

To this conclusive defense of Barney the

voice near the house calling the girls

Edna started to her feet in alarm, and
Marsten also arose.
