The next news was that he had started across Mexico to the Rio Grande alone, on horseback, Avith hi? saddle-bags, Bible, and hymn-book. Shortly after crossing the Mexican border, he fell in with a man who gave his name as McMauas, who told him he also was bound to Texas^ and offered his company. Stewart consented, and they rode on together in what proved to be the path of fate to both. On the third day that they had jour- neyed in company, they stopped in a lonely place under the shade of some ...trees near a spring of water to rest and eat. As usual, Stewart read a chapter or two in his pocket-Bible, and then took out his diary and began to write. McManus now saw the opportunity he was seeking. Seizing Stew^ art's gun, he placed the muzzle against his breast, and fired. He staggered back and fell, the life- blood gushing from his heart, and with a few gasps and moans he was dead. The last words he had just traced in his diary were these: "Lord Jesus, guide and keep me this day. " Providence has pre- sented to my mind no greater or sadder mystery than such a death for such a man.
