TOO SICK TO KILL.
The coIoners Story Of the Last Blow
to a Consumptiye,s Courage.
no BE CONTINUED.

to a Consumptive's Courage.
A retired colonel Of the United
States army told this story between
halves Of that Carlisle-West Point
football game which was graced by
the presence of Prince Louis Of Bat
tenberg:
After the Fort Kearny fight with
the Indians I was sent out scouting
with my troop, rounding up band of
hostiles The week before we left
consumptive Englishman showed up
at the post. He was a friend Of the
coloners, and he was trying roughing
1t as a last chance. Ht was In a bad
way.
when my orders came ne asked to
go along. He was still strong enough
to ride, and we took him. although
rather against my judgment. OF
course such a thing wouldn't be al
lowed nowadays. but that was on the
frontier, where rules were lax.
He was one Of those hopeful con-
umptives-nothing the matter with
him-only a little trouble with his
throat-he was coming along fine.
We used to humor him and tell him
he was looking better every day, al
though you could read his death SEN
tence on his face. He was grit to
the backbone-took every hardship
just as 1t came and sat on his horse
when he seemed ready to drop of
at every jolt.
I'VE rode for a fortnight and never
found our hostiles. But one rainy
night they found US.
II remember that the Englishman
campfire when firing started from all
sides; and in ten seconds 800 Indians
were riding over us. They had MUIR
dered the outposts and sprung a sur
prise. We got together, formed some
kind Of a hollow square and drove
them back. We lost six killed.
when we had time to look about
for dead and wounded 1 thought OF
my English friend. He was nowhere
in sight 1 supposed, Of course, that
he had been killed, and started scouts
to look for his body.
They found him lying under g
brush. The trooper who saw him
first rolled him over and found thai
| that he was alive and unhurt, but
crying as though his heart would
| break.
What's the matter?' said the
trooper.
I'm a dead man. said the Eng
| lishman.
He wouldn't explain until 1 had
a session alone with him. 1t appear:
| that he had been sitting by the fire
! when a buck on horseback rose w
over him with his gun raised club
| fashion. The Englishman rose VI
and faced the Indian, ready to die
like a man. The Indian caught a full
view of his face in the freight.
| "'Ugh,' said the Indian in English
/ NO use. Dead man. and he lowered
| his gun and passed on.
There was no heartening the con-
sumptive after that. Two days later
we made a settlement and dropped
him off in charge Of the keeper of the
stage station, and in month he was
! dead"

Wont you give this all up for my

are in great danger"
Not so great as is the danger Of my
sister and mother and my sweetheart
1T Is a mans place to face danger

This violence can only lead to your
ruin and shame"
II am fighting the battle Of race
on whose fate hangs the future Of the
south and the Nation. My ruin and
shame will be Of small account II they

derly, you know that I have weighed
the treasures Of music and art and
given them all for one clasp Of your
hand, one throb of your heart against

You know me guiltless Of the vul-
gar threat against him"
yes, and yet you are the leader OF
desperate men who might have done
it. AS 1 fought this battle today, I've
lost you. lost myself, and sunk down
to the depths of despair, and at the
end rang the one weak cry Of wo-
ma ;.'s heart for her lover! Your frown
can darkea the brightest sky. For your
sake / can give up all save the sense
of. right. I'll walk by your side In life

you must not commit crime!"
Come sweetheart, you must not use
that word" he protested, with a touch
of wounded pride.
You are a conspirator-"
Il am a revolutionist."
You are committing murder!"
Il am waging war;"
Elsie leaped to her feet In a sudden
rush Of anger and extended her hand:
Goodbye. I shall not see you again
1 do not know you. You are still g
stranger to me-"
He held her hand firmly.

He rode to her side, bent close, and
whispered:

A little sob caught her voice, yet she
said slowly in firm tones:
IF another crime is committed ir

on the boulder, and his men gazed or
the flushed face Of Ben Cameron, the
Grand Dragon of the Realm.
He stood for a moment silent erect
a smouldering fierceness in his eyes
something cruel and yet magnetic In
his alert bearing.
He looked on the PROSTATE negro ly-
ing in his uniform at his feet, seized
the cross, lighted the three upper ends
and held 1t blazing in his hand, while
in a voice full Of the fires Of feeling
he said:
Men Of the South, the time fol
words has passed, the hour for action
has struck The Grand Turk will exc
cute this negro tonight and fling his
body on the lawn Of the black lieu
tenant, governor Of the state"
The Grand Turk bowed.
Il ask for the swiftest messenger OF
this Den who can ride till dawn"
The man whom Doctor Cameron had
already chosen stepped forward:
Garry my summons to the Grand
Titan of the adjoining province In
North Carolina whom you will find at
Hambright. Tell him the story Of this
crime and what you have seen and
heard. Ask him to report to me here
the second night from this, at II
o'clock, with six Grand Giants from his
adjoining counties, each accompanied
by two hundred picked men. In olden
times when the Chieftain of our people
summoned the clan on an errand OF
life and death, the Fiery Cross, extin-
tinguished in sacriicial blood. was
sent by swift courier from village to
village. This call was never made In
vain nor will 1t be tonight In the new
world. Here, on this spot made holy
ground by the blood Of those we hold
dearer than life, I raise the ancient
symbol of an unconquered race of
men"
High above his head in the darkness
of the cave he lifted the blazing en-
blem-
"The Fiery Cross of old Scotland's
hills! I quench its flames in the
sweetest blood that ever stained the
sands of Time"
He dipped its ends In the silver cup,
extinguished the fire, and handed the
charred symbol to the courier, who
quickly disappeared.
