I mounted my horse, and quit alone rode up the valley, noticing with stnuige prescience of evil tliat the road was overgrown, and, save for tlie music of till' waterfalls, the place silent as di'.atli. The kraals that used to be to the left of the road by the river had van ished. I rode towards tlieir site; the nealie lields were choked with weeds, ill' paths were dumb witli grass. Pres ently I i-e.-iehed the place. There, over- gvown with grass, wern the burnt aslict of tlie kraals, and there among the ashes, gleaming in the moonlight, lay tlie white hones o f men. No'v it was clear to me. The settlement had bi'en fallen on by some powerful foe, and its inhabitants put to the assegai.

Years before her death, said the cap tain, I became acquainted with the wo man wlio now lies buried yonder. Her name was Becky Paine, and her mother was at one period of her life a slave in the lioiisehold o f Gen. George W ashing ton. After the Revolution she married at Portsmouth a light complexioiied negro, who might ea.sily have passed aiiy- wliere as a Cuban or .Spaniard.

Just what dispo sition the old man vv-ould make o f his j)o,sses.sions was hardly known. I very mucli doubt whether he ever thought of ■such a tiling as making a will, -a.s no document of that cliaracter was ever found after his death. It is true that in presence of witnesses lie liad more than once promised his own children that the bulk of his proiierty would be left them at Ills deatli, and he also specified tlie amount lie desired to go to e.aeh individ ual. His wife, .wlio was an ignorant, good iiatureil soul, interposed no objec tion to this plan o f her husband, simply declaring that she was content to “ lib wid de cliillums.\ Some time early in tlie twenties old Paine died, after a painful illness lasting nearly a fortnight, A d:iy or two before his death the dying man called to his bedside the members of his family, the latter lijiving also summoned as wit nesses my father -and two other neigh bors, I, too, being present, Paine, in a clear voice, made known his wishes re garding the disposition of his property after his death, and I'or tlie first time it W.1S learned that he did not favor his daughter Becky's union with lier hus band, Jose Cienti. The latter appeared to treat lightly the fact that neither himself, his wife nor children were to receive any portion o f the wealth left by tlieir dying relative. Two years later George Paine, the only son in the family, mysteriously dis appeared from view, and was never afterward, to my knowledge, heard from. About tliis time Becky's hiis- Lher shiftless sort o to display more than ordinary activity as a farmer. He, too, in time, began to in some way accumulate wealth, and being now placed in charge of the Paine farm he was well compensated for Ids services, considering the amount of wages then paid to farm lielp.

News of the assembiing of thes reached Cienti's ears, who,' judging, no doubt, from the dislike to ids presence, as recently sliovvn in tlie action of tlie townspeople toward liim, tliat lie w; suspected of crime, suddenly disap peared. A few niglits later all buildings of the Paine estate were destroyed bv’ fire. Tlie country for miles around was faithfully scoured by bands of farmers seari-hing for the fugitive Cienti, who was believed to have added arson to his ot her crimes, but lie ultimately succeeded in avoiding capture. Tlie most remarkable part of my story rem:iins to he told. As I have already told you, I was wounded in the Iiead at Cold Harbor. Contrary to the predic tion of the suraeons I did not die, but lived to lie in tiim' removed to Frederick City and later to the Lincoln hospital, Washington. After a while I bee.aine convalescent, and was granted permission to board at a hotel, it being stipulated by the sur geon in cliarge tliat I .sliould report for treatment at tin' ho.spital twice daily.
