THE IMMORTAL ALAMO. 79 •'Why does he send messages to you?" she asked. "Because he fears me," Navarre replied eagerly. "He promises every boon I may ask if I will desert the cause of Mexican independence and join his force, probably in order to learn where General Houston's force lies." "Then there is danger!" Lucy exclaimed, in alarm. "Tell them," said Navarre, pointing at the revelers; "they will laugh at you. The courage of your men is not indifference to danger, but ignorance of it." Lucy regarded him with suspicion. "You are only trying to frighten me," she said, and drew away. Nevertheless she attempted to kindle recognition of impending peril and so far succeeded that Colonel Travis despatched secret messengers for help. Still there was no general alarm until a soldier broke in upon the scene of revelry with the astounding intelligence that Mexican troops had been seen in the distance by one of the outposts. Even then there was rejoicing, THE IMPORTANT MESSAGE.
