THE LAST
OF HIS RACE.
My Dear Horace I have just heard of the fail-
ure of the mines and write to give you back your'
freedom for of course 1 cannot hold you to your
vows now poor boy.
I shall not do either you or myself the injustice
to wreck our lives by a mad throw for love. You
will forgive me in the end and acknowledge that
I loved you as wisely as well.
I trust your fallen fortunes may soon retrieve
themselves. It is impossible for me to imagine
my "prince" a "pauper!" Forgave me and be-
lieve me. sincerely yours Marios.
lie tears the faintly scented gold mon-
ogrammed sheet across and across with
a muttered oath and then laughs. The
mirthless sound rings harshly through
the room. Then with an impetuous
movement he rises and striking a match
lights every jet in the great chandelier
until the light reflected back and forth
in the many mirrors that line the walls
fills the room with a golden blaze of
glory.
Seating himself at the desk he writes
hurriedly. The hands of the watch seem
to race the swift fingers faster! faster!
The stillness of the room is broken only
by the ceaseless ticking of the timepiece
and the incessant scratch of the pen. The
breeze that stirs the window curtains
brings with It the heavy enervating fra-
grance of jasmine bloom.
lie pauses at last and dropping the
pen folds the written sheets and ar-
ranges in neat packages the scattered
papers on the desk.
Kising he goes to the open window
and stands gazing upon the quiet moonlit
world.
His temples ache and throb as though
a sharp stiletto were piercing them
through. Bits of conversation faces al-
most forgotten voices from the past
crowd one upon the other in his brain
trifling incidents standing out with vivid
distinctness in the turbulent maelstrom
of recollection.
As be turns back into the room his eye
scans the pictured faces. Every detail
of costume every lineament of feature
seems to leap out from tbe canvases in
vivid distinctness.
Upon one at last his glance pauses
and rests a dark stern faced man. clad
in the gray uniform of a Confederate sol-
dier beneath which is suspended. ly a
broad faded gray ribbon a rusty sword.
Long he looks upon the face: then go-
ing over to a long French mirror he
gazes on tbe white hard couutenancc that
is reflected with moody eyes and white
compressed lips.
A distant clock strikes the half hour
after 11. Going over to the desk he
takes up one of tbe pistols and examines
it minutely. From a drawer he takes a
silver flask and drains the amber colored
contents.
The clock ticks on while be gazes down
on the swiftly racing fingers.
"At 12 o'clock!" he mutters between
his set teeth.
The verse of an old poem comes to
him:
Crash go the joy bells a-ringing.
Drowning the sob and the passionate cry I
Ah hearken awhile to their sweet sad singing.
Who love and suffer and .laugh and die I
But let never a pitying word be spoken
Or a tear be shed we would have it so.
We whose hearts were broken broken
Broken ever so long ago.
The farofi? clock strikes 12. The little
brass hands meet. He raises the pistol
on a level with his temple and takes de-
liberate aim. But simultaneously with
the report of the pistol there falls upon
the still night air the crash of steel strik
ing stone and something is hurled against
the steady tense fingers sending the
weapon spinning against one of the long
mirrors shattering it into fragments.
And be stands with tingling fingers
white and startled gazing down upon his
father's fallen sword.
Stooping he raises it while the swift
blood of shame mounts to his brow his
father's sword now dulled and corroded
by the tooth of time. When he bore it
upon the battlefield it was bright and
shining as his good name; now the blade
is rusty and the name besmirched. With
white working face the man gazes upon
the old weapon once borne so gallantly
upon the battlefield.
Away in the distance he can still hear
the whippoorwill plaintively calling and
the heavy fragrance of the jasmine seems
something tangible.
He can see the young lieutenant clad
in the gray gold trimmed uniform stoop
ing to kiss his little wondering child and
clasping his young wife in his arms in a
last passionate embrace.
And again another scene comes to him
of a day when they brought the young
soldier home to his weeping wife the
gray uniform torn and tattered the cause
for which he fought so bravely lost and
the proud face cold in death to lay him
down under the grass and the daisies in
the little family burying ground so soon
to be followed by his broken hearted
yonng widow.
And as the vision fades leaving bim
trembling the man's head falls upon his
breast and a cry goes up to heaven:
lather I have sinned!"
Not far from Siboney there is a solitary
soldier's grave on which the torrid sun
beats ruthlessly. On the plain wooden
slab that marks it is the name Horace
Byrd Faxon written by a surviving com
rade and beneath it the simple inscrip
tion:
"Here lies the last of a noble race who
died a noble death fighting for the liberty
of his fellow men. One noble deed biota
ont many 111 ones in the eyes of the an-
gels of God." Chicago News.
