hold the enemy until Houston was
ready. At first there was a slender
chance of rescue, but 1T disappeared
as the days went by, and the rifle
men quickly knew that the fate of
Texas rested upon them. There was
no talk of surrender, of safety of es-
cape. They knew that the world
would not hear of their prowess until
after they were dust; that there was
no gallery of admiring friends to
cheer them to their doom; the foe
outnumbered them 20 to / horse,
foot and artillery stormed, enfiladed,
rushed them. Hungry, famished and
without sleep, they crouched upon the
fiat roof OF the Alamo behind the
low masonry of the projecting walls
for days and nights, as cool as squirrel
hunters, as gay as boys in a SNOWFALL
fight, as patient and as relentless as
the vindictive Indian at bay. The fate
of Texas was in their hands, and they
knew it. But when, at last, their am
munition gone, and quick death at
hand. Colonel Travis asked them
how many wished to 'stay with him
to the finish,' only one man hesitated.
He had fought we'll for ten days. He
was brave, but he preferred to live.
| think it was Crockett who said:
"Oh, come on, Mr.. Rose; you've got
to die anyhow, some day. Might as
well die with us"
And he said it without recrimina-
ton, without sheer, just as he would
have said: "Be good fellow and take
drink with us!"
1t was early the next morning, after
Rose had been aided to escape, that
the Mexicans knew that the hour OF
revenge was at hand. The crack OF
the rifles from the roof became infre-
quent and then ceased. A thousand or
Santa Ana's men had already fallen
and were buried. Three thousand
more, with fixed bayonets, backed by
a park of artillery and equipped with

ladders, now surged to the final as
sault. Up they swarmed like angry
bees to be met at the summit by
the gaunt Texans, handful now, but
terrible in the last ecstacy of a sub
lime and superhuman sacrifice. The
awful Bowie Knife" dubbed rifles,
boards wrenched from the affairs OF
the desecrated church, such were the
weapons with which this forlorn gar
rison met and hurled from the walls
in two short hours nearly thousand
dead and dying Mexicans. And when,
by sheer weight of numbers, they
were at last forced, step by step,
from the embattled roof OF this house
of heroism, they descended into the
dark church to make last rally by
the cot where the wounded, fever
smitten Bowie lay, his pistols loaded
with a farewell volley. It was here
that Bowie died, transfixed by score
Of Mexican bayonets. Outside, with
in sound of his leaders voice, Crock

his back against the barred oaken
door of the church, smote with his up

fell beneath his thrashing fail. And
Travis. dying at his feet could only
cheer for Texas. And so they per-
ished. every one. And the con
ouering" Mexicans bore their bodies
to the Alameda, now part OF Con-
gress street, and built pyre whtch
was the beacon of Texas freedom.
The next moon saw the battle OF San

all their fountains were carved with a
lions head. The Greeks and Romans
copied this symbol and so it has come
