HUNTED TO DEATH
BY WILLIAM DALTON
- In the latter past of the year 184—
a duel was fought. in a neighborhood
,of London, between . a Lieutenant
Belfont and the head of a mercantile
house named Gray (for obvious rea
sons the names are fictitious) ; in which
thelatter was slat through the heart,-
and as, upon the examination 2f. the
seconds before the police magisfil7M,
foul play had been alleged on the part
of the victor; 'On't virtuous town rang
with indignation, the, seconds were
committed, afterward tried at the Old
Bailey, and I believe sentenced to
death for murder, although that sen
tence was afterward commuted to a
lengthened imprisonment with bard la
bor. As for the lieutenant; notwith
standing the government offered a
largo reward for his capture, he Man
aged to escape, and fortunate it was
for him; for had he been, taken, such
was the indignation of the public, there
can be little doubt but that his fate
would have been as ignominous death.
Some due after the trial of the
seconds, and while the metropolis still
feasted-upon the tragic topic ; I dined
with-my- friend Crawford, M.' D.,
formerly of the British Atixilary Le
gion, but then living in the immediate
neighborhood of Blackfriars' Bridge,
where by - advice gratis between 10
and 4; the appointment of parish doc
tor, and indefatigable attempt to es
tablish a general practice, Ile was en,.
deaVriring M gather siiffieient crumbs
to supply the daffy . Wants of a very
ladylike Crawford, and some half
dozen smaller •Crawfords; rising. in
hight A from two to four and. half feet.,
One item -of his praciice, and one'
which bears more particularly upon
my tale,
, Ntiras the recovery of those
half-drowned persons so frequently
dragged from, the filthy water-side
public house, where the drugs are
kept, it was my friend's duty to attend.
Now, as the duellist, Belfont, had
served in Spain at the same tithe with
my friend, the conversation after din
ner very naturally, turned upon' the
late tragedy, upon every point.of which,
being well "coached up" by the news
papers, and holding the general opinion
of foul' play, I modestly asserted that
,Belfont waS a murderous rascal, and
hoped - fie would soon be taken. To
-my surprise Crawford, 2 -ivith indignant
countenanced, exclaimed, "It is a lie,
a base lie. It is the old story, 'Gin's
a dog an ill name and hang Inn."'
'You speak warmly, my friend,'
said . L . •
'I do—and mean warmly ; for there
is not a quieter or more gentlemanly
fellow upon God's earth, than poor
13elfont.'
'You know him, then?'
I did, I do. We were in the *same
regimMit, indeed we are fellow towns
men.'
.then, must have. been a
strange history. It is not often that
men of the , character you describe are
confirmed, nay, professional duelists.'
'lt is a strange history, but listen
and_you will also - admit that it is both
cruel and sad.'
George Belfont (said my friend),
being _the orphan .son of a distinguish
ed Peninsular .officer; had from, his
-childhood beenied :to - expect a com
mission in the British service, without•
purchase. As however there' . were
hundreds awaiting the: same position_
who, if without equal claims; poSsess
ed 'superior interest, poor George at
twenty,-one years of age remained. still
an expectant.
Disgusted;.therefore,. with dancing
rittendanco,at the Military SecietarY's
levees, George, like main-, 'other- men
languishing for, eraploydient, rejOieed
at,the chancei3 of -active military life
offered by' the Britielt . Legion, . then
fighting'm , Spain for constitutional
government; and as it -wee to me.'.lffi
was 'indebted for the introdiffition
which led te,hie obtaining a commies :

never been "called out," for regarding
him as an insolent boy, who by his in
linen ce with -his father possessed much
power, to make them miserable, the
officers ridiculed, rather than took of

''Contrasted with, this whelp, peor g e
Belfont, whose good nature, gentle;

Who lost 'no opportunity of Offering

did so too, without much • apprehen
sion, for George had publicly declared
his abhorrence of dueling to — be, - so
great, that no insult should compel him
to go out,,except it might bp with the
quarter staff. ."
Taking.advantage of his resolution,
Billy accused, George of cowardice,
whereupon the latter, to prove the con
trary soundly belabored him in the pres
ence of several of' his brother officers.
The little fellow immediately 'challenged
him, and being refused, ran to his papa,
when the fire-eating old Dragon prais
ed his boy for exhibiting the family
pluck, and intimated to George that
after having grossly insulted his cub,
ho must either "go out," or "go 'off,"
i. e. leave the regiment. George ac
cepted the latter Alternative, and would
have resigned, but these was a chance
of fighting, the enemy were making.
advances, and so he remained till' he
should have proved before his brother
officers in, the field that his objection
to dueling was based upon principle,
and did not arise from cowardice.
Some weeks or so after this, we
were ordered to take ;,up a position in
a village not far from the town 'of Sim,
- Sebastian, - and_
as ill-luck would have
it, myself, Bellfont, and Billy were
billeted-at the house of the Alcalde,
with Gray at the next house, forming,
as you may imagine,_anything but, the'
happiest family party.
it was whine at this billet that an
event happened which led, to the ruin
of Bellfont. The'Alcade had a very
pretty black-eyed daughter with whom
Billy chose to fall in love, but who,
loving the British uniform generally,
rather than any individual wearer in
particular—at least, so I thought at
the-Aim—coquetted and flirted some
times with Billy, sometimes' with Gray,
and frequently; although I could see
greately to his annoyance, with Bel
font. As to the flirtations with dray,
thht wogthy, not wishing to offend
'Billy, for fear of getting out of the
colonel's good • books, carried on so
silly thatthe whole of Billy's jealousy
fell. upon the Man who had thrashed
him. Billy, therefore ; set to work with
'his papa, and got Belfont moved to the
headquarters of theyegiment in town.
It was late in the. evening,
.George
bad left the pillet, and I was pacing
before the door, meditating upon those
miserable pettinesses produce
the greatest miseries of life, when
Billy O'Dragon's servant ran against
me.

'What the duce do you mean, you

'Faith, then, it's all to do with the
master's honor, for he's just run after
Ali'St& BeWont, whose -done the dirty
trick of chating him out of his two•
booty black eyes.'
'Belfont run away with the girl !
pehaw, it was too absurd,' and-I turn
ed away to make enquiries about her.
First and foremost I . went to Gray's
billet; to my surprise I found hg was
absent upon night leave; however, the
story.pf the girls abduction soon prov
ed:true enough,. for the Alcalde, the
old , lady who filled the office Duenna
and the' servants. were running about
in the greatest excitement, vowing
vengeance upon the ravishers, Belfont
and Billy,loth of whom, for some un
accountable reason,' seemed alike to
sbair their thvecions. - As I could do
nothing in the matter, I turned in, and
after vainly endeavoring to unravel the
mystery, made up my mind to sleep
till roll-call..
Scarcely however had I closed my
eyes than I waS awakend by my servant
bellowing in my ear that tfn officer had
been found murdered -in the little
wood • outside the town. Hastily
throWing on iv undress. and. - cloak, I
mounted my, horse, Mid in quick time
was in . the torm, when,. imagine my
horror, a table surrounded by
officers laid the body of Gray pierced

-- 'I know it - Major, and would have
it so; yet dare not for an lions permit
this fearful charge to be believed by
you—at least without my denial;' re
plied Belfont; and he sternly added,
'Passing through the wood, I; heard
shrill screams, as from a woman, and
instantly, as it flashed across _my mind
that it might be some of our drunken
fellows offering violence to a female, I
proceeded in the direction of the cries

'This story seemed too mprobable

This, Belfont's known character, the
want- emotive for ssassinating a

and some hesitation iiipon,,_the part of
Billy sufficiently exonerated him; the
charge was dismissed!

Upon ,reaching the public housed
found the case .worse titan I had ex-
petted. My patient, when taking hi:
dread leap. bad fallen into, a lighter,
at that moment passing through an arch.
His frame seemed completely shatter
ed, and - he vups senseless. A minute's
examinationlold me the case was hope;
less; alas, it told me also that the at
tenuated, miserable being before me
was my old friend, George Belfont.
Fortunately, however, service •in the
field teaches one to act' first and feel
afterward; so on that instant I had the,
poor fellow taken to my own house,
and placed in the bed from which my
self and wife turned out, while he re
mained with us. -
Afraid of the shock that the sight of
an old friend might cause, I asked a
medical acquaintance to attend him:
He did so for a' week, when, although
his case still remained hopeless, it was
thought I might with safety see him.
I shall never forget-that interview.—
When I entered the room he was doz
ing—it Was the first sleep he had had
--'—and I eat down by his side.-- He
awoke. Seeing me, he passed his hand
across his eyes, as if to ascertain it was
not a vision. I placed my finger upon
my lips to enforce silence.
‘ The Lord in heaven-bless you,-my
dear friend!' were his first words, as he
placed his thin white fingers in my
hand.
Hush, George—your life depends
uptin your not hecoming agitated,' I
said.
' Agitated!—agitated I No, my ag
itation has now nearly passed. lam
calm. I can become but one degree
calmer—dead Then he started sud
denly, rose up in the bed, looked at
me sternly, ' Orawford, are the hounds
near? Tell me—tell me, like a man—
where am I? ' Are they saving my life
to hang me afterward ?'
Hush, George. Upon did word of
a man, your existence is not known
You are in my own house.'
Thank God; my friend !' arid the
borrowed strength,failing, he fell back
ward.
At length we succeeded in so far
mitigating hie pairiTthat - when - alone he
told me his career from the time of the
duel with 'Little Billy.' I will repeat.
this narrative as pithily as possible,
Passing.through-France to England,
Belfelit made -his way to the village of
where, as so noble and - gallant
a fellow deserved, ho was . rapturously
received by his betrothed, and for a
time all' seemed eoleur de rose. Bu
the remembrance of the duel with Billy,
alas ! cast a shadow over his future
It had bleu against his conscience'; 1 ,
hung upon his spirits like a cloud pro
phetic of a coming storm of retribution
He felt he was acting a lie to the wo
man he was about to marry in . the ap
.protiching spring. '
The spring came; Belfont being in
town was induced to drive to the Derby,
The day was spentae all Derby days
are spent; ho was returning home; a
vehicle' shot ahead of him, and in a
spirit
_of rivalry not Uncommon Upon
race, days, he whipped his horse; wheel
and wheel caught;`the vehicle of his
opponent; if I 'may use, the term, was
upset, and its owner thrown heavily to
the-ground. With the rapidity of
thought, Belfont alighted and went to
the assistance of the fallen man, who
had received a severe contusion upon
hie head, and enraged with • the pain s
- and, more than half intoxicated, com
menced A volley of abuse. To rah an
end to the 'scpno, Belfont gave him his
card with his address, telling him that
in the morning he would satisfy him by
making au ample apology to any, friend
he might send, and thought-no mote of
the matter till next day, while at break
fast, a gontlenum waited %Mit him.

Great Heaven! another complica

bad passion took possession of Belfont's
nnind. He felt' in the hands of an in
visible, destiny that - was dragging him
downward, downward to destruction,
and Could make but one answer—to
meet him. They met the following
day; but, thank Heaven! Belfont had
time to cool. They exchanged fires;
his ball passed through the rim of Bel
font's hat, Belforit'S fire was in the air.
Gray insisted upon another fire • Bel
font refused; he taunted him with cow
ardice, and again, the murder of his
brother. My friend could bear no

They fired; he fell dead, and from that
moment Belfont wandered about from
town to town, endeavoring to secrete
himself. He had no friends in tngland;
but, at last, remembering me, he mode
- his way toward my residence. As he
'crossed the.bridge, The moonlit waters
seemed to 'him to offer him peace and
repose. A species of madness seized
him. He 'could see only those calm
waters, anct--but-you-kndw-the-rest:

hold in our.enterprising borough:
In the - - afternoon -of that. day
Geary arrived here for the purposei ,
visiting the. Soldiers' Orphan &hem,
a privilege in which he seems . to.takd
great pleasure, and great benefits
doubtedly result from visits to those
institutions. .„
The citizens ot
s our 'town, having,
learned that the Governor would arrive,
resolved to sbcw him their esteem by
forming a procession to . meet him
at the cars and escort him to. the
school. The procession was -formed
by the Grant arid Colfax elrtb, the
citizens in carriages, and the teachera,
and boys of the school, headed by our
band. The.procession was a very
creditable affair, although gotten up
upon the spur of the occasion. Upon
arriving at the school, the procession
and - spectators assembled to hear en•
address which he made to them, and,
which was received with evident satis- , ,
faction.. Hewas_then taken, through .
the building, and shown the various.
departments of the School. He ex
pressed much satisfaction with the
excellent-manner in which it was con
ducted. But our citizens were too
anxious to hear the Governor speak
upon the political questions of the day
to allow the opportunity to pass;, and
therefore-called a meeting in the even
ing at the Republican "Wigwam"
which was capable of holding several
hundred people. :The Wigwam was
early packed as closely as people could
stand or 'sit together, a large portion
of the audience being ladies. Such
was the crowd that many were unable
to obtain admittance. The assembling

to hear His Excellency was a delight

the Governor •was -shown by ' the
shower of bouquets which be received.
Gov. Geary made one of the best
addresses we have heard during the
-campaign. two hours or more be
held the audience in eager attention, „
receiving responses in freqUent out
bursts of applause.
The speech • was onb of unusual
ability and power, and carried couvie
•tion-to the minds - of all present. The
Governor depicted in a masterly man
ner, the way in which the Remocratic,
party had been sold out and deliver
ed over- to the pro-slavery 'and traitor
leaders of the South. He also spoke
of the means used to deprive North
ern freemen of their political rights
through hand and perjury; and said
that he was determined to protect the
citizens of the Commonwealth in their
rightto:casttheir-thallots as-they-choose
The latter declaration was folloped
with tremendous applause.
After the - Governor finished this ad-
dress lie received the ladies; and - was
introduced to many of our Citizens, .
who pressed around him with: eager— Af
ness to take him by the hsrud: The
meeting finally closed with three
cheers for Grant and Colfax arid three'
for Governor Geary. "

Why Not Make it Unanimous P
As there can no longer remain a'
doubt that Gen. Grant will be the; --
next President, the democracy might -
rob Ins election of the character of
party`triumph by turning in and help-'
lug to elect him. This might be
,-
slightly annoying and mortifying to
the party feeling of some Republicans, •
but the more thoughtful among them
would be glad to see it take place, as
it would show- the murderous rebel
organizations 'Vhich have becM flour
ishing throughout - the South since the
meeting of the Pcinocratio national,
'convention; that the policy of peace,,
and of protection to - Union men which
will guide the new Administration, •isi
backed tip by the unanimous voice of,
the Northern people. Think what
moral - effect it would - have, not - only
upon the Ku-Klux and their sympa
thizers, but upon all the schemes and '
subterfuges for repudiating the public
debt, and for assuming the rebel debt„,
and for paying for the emancipated
slaves out of the national treasury, if f
instead of twenty-five, or thirty thOto •
sand majority for Grant. in Pennsyk.,..
vanity -we-should roll up a Majority of
five'or six hundred -. thousand! Imll

would not object to see everybody
