OMAHA DAILY iEE * : SATURDAYOCTOJ3E.il 8 , 1881 CERALDINE ; Ml , THE CREED OF DEATH. KIIOM AX OM ) MASTSriUlT. When my fntlier came to Kansas and sailed the Missouri up river in i wheezy old atuamboat , the state wn in its infancy , and very fulv of Iho habits of eastern people lind beel intrcduced lienAt Fort Leaven worth , however , the ollicers hat managed tu eccuro a few of the com forts of civilization , and the garrisor in those days was the nearest up. proaclii to a.city of anything west of the Mississippi liver. My father was the post surgeon ; ulso n scientist o ; deep liMrning and broad , eomprohen- sivo thought. During his years of study and research into the Hosieries of nature he had ac euniul.itcd many queer and in < tereating inventions of fine median ism perfectly moulded , after years o ; study. Ho was tin inventor , body , mind'and soul ; and when hu broil , hi thoTinits of all his years of labor ti adorn his labor.itory at the fort , ii presented a veritable "old euriositj shop , " and was the uondor and Hpceu- lation of all who were admitted within - in its myatcriouH precincts. I wtw just approachiii } , ' manhood then , nnd my ideas were not deep enough to comprehend my father's knowledge of chemistry , nor did 1 care to trouble myself with things in comprehensible. I had a lieutenancy iu the army , and 1 enjoyed the good times wo young ollicerd had together. I had been at the fort about three years when my mind underwent a great change ; I dropped all things light and frivolous , and rend strange books on various religious doctrines , until I became disgusted with the theories they taught , and so a new- life seemed to open for me. I was an atheist ; my belief became a convic tion , and to shako oil' the stnuige .theories I entertained , 1 entered my 'father's ' laboratory and became a close student of scioiico and chemistry. And so when ho died , there was no -one so well adapted as I , to take up and carry on the work he had left be hind. This I did , and 1 marveled at the strange things my researches 'brought ' forth. About this time Blank was ordered to the fort from the east , and ho brought his family with him. Ho had .a lovely daughter , Gcraldino was her name , and from the moment I saw her beautiful face , I loved her aye , wor shipped her , if you will and from day to day 1 watched her as the h'un- gry vulture watches its prey ; and when the balmy June came she passed hours in my laboratory watching the effects of experiments ; earth .seemed a paradise , too beautiful for ono so ungodly as I. The time came when I could detect her eye following mo everywhere ; and this vision haunted mo by day and figured in my . dreams by night. I knew' she loved me , but I dare not speak , for our re ligious ideas were a constant source of .difference between us. She called .mo an iotheist , and when I refused to give up the belief that controlled mv whole being , and which 1 then thought indisputable , she seemed gradually to forsake mo. Her visits to my laboratory became less frequent , and I noticed , with all the fierce jealousy of my passionate nature , that a young cuptuin named Mi n turn was gradually taking from ' me the sunshine of my exist- once. Piqued at this seeming .neglect , I sought refuge in my studies , and when she camu to my labraiury door she found it closed ; T heard her step , her timid knock , of and even the sigh she gave on turn ing away. Oh , how I longed to lling wide open the cruel door of repara tion ! but stern , austere jealousy said , in "Xo ! She is not yours now ! Let her go ! tluit pure , godlike s&ul is tooj lovely for your companionship. " For in days alto did not see me , my will was ci .mastered , and , and in my weakness I forgot , the principles that I ni lived by ; yet , all the while , I watched .Ii her , with the man who soiiifhr to 1"pi drive me from her heart and supplant pi there with his in my right ungracious presence. Ho was assiduous in his th attentions to her , and his suit was en te couraged by her father , who was dazed by thu wealth Captain Minturn lei possessed. Ho was the son of rich th parents , and had loft a beautiful ra homo at , Shrewsbury , on the Atlan 01 tic coast , to seek adventure in thu th Army. Pf One evening I stood near my fath ofTl er's grave in the fort cemetery , when Tl -BIIO came slowly iilonu the walk and lil paused before me. She was as .white ( lilH : as the marhlo head-stones ar.onnd us , wl .and stood there in a kind of stony si Htt lence that frightened mo. At Lust she to i made an effort to speak ; largo tears iu brimmed over in her beautiful eyes , a nnd she told me that at her father's an demand she become engaged to Cap th tain Minturn , and she deemed it right CO that I should know. Never had a VII word of love been spoken between us ; 1)1 yet that- intuitive something that ed speaks the love-promptings had laid J my bare our hearts for euch other's in up spection. She seated herself by a th grave near mo , and in the old way in reasoned with mo , and tried to win m me to hercauso , "Jlichard , " shosaid , IK "My heart is as eloquent : is your anwi brain , and tells me that there is some wi thing more than pitiKss law in the j" God that I ndor * } a great mysterious , re loving God , my Richard , that marks dt the fall of a sparrow ; that looks with th tendercat care upon thu weakest ono lit of all creatures , and yearns over the its sorrow that tears my heart. " She fie said all this rapidly , with trembling j"Gi lips nnd streaming eyes ; and , as she Gi ceased speaking , leaned bur head on rii her arms , sobbing. I bent over to COwi touch her golden ringlets , but she put wimi her hand and mi up gently pushed mo .away. Iu I the sward with _ _ paced a fierce despair - Iu spair within mo. "Richard , " she said looking up , "thu expression of tial your face terrifies mo ; you HOOIII to bo ra meditating something fearful , " I' "Oh , no ; I said , " 1 am seeking the I'wi consolation of my faith. " wim "Do not mock me , Richard ! " she cried , "my healt is almost breaking. " Von say ( hut you seek to know God. \ \ I only try to love him. Como knrcl ' WI " hero. I threw myoolf on the sward before IIIwl her. She put her hands on my head , the T heard her say in a whisper , " 0 , til Goo ! help mo. " thu Tearrf blinded my own eyes ; T am thm' not ashamed of them , Wo clung to- , xether for a moment , for a long mo- se iiiont our lips met. Then she said "Now go ! go ! Oh , my darlini ? . 150 unil lenvo me to pray , " T obeyed. It ww starlight when 1 left her , feeling Hint I hnd lost her forever , find with her nil that inmlo life beau tiful. There was ii gnawing rage " within mo ton intense" admit ol moaning the grief , and us 1 left the ewnetcry 1 ntet Minturn entering the enclosure , 1 was possessed for u mo ment by a lurid heat ; u half-blind , furious impulse to spring upom him , bent him to the uirlh and crush his life out ; but I mastered it , though I was now determined Unit he must lie. lie.Die Die ! I looked up at the calm skies with countless stars , so remote that reason weaiies in thinking of their distances , each tiny point of light a blazing sun , : i contlagratioii of cnor BV , vet all HO calm. But the content Illation did not eilm me ; my thoughts surged on .something like this. "Liko the stars , am 1 not a creature of blim force and inexorable law ? Are not thought , and will , and passion eqimlU subject to law' ' My fierce wish to kii Mintum-is it notapaitof the cos nios ? Yes , I must kill. Tlm gentlest , weakest animal retiiins its own lifi only by destroying other lives and Ihis has been so for centuries of the past a ceaseless war , wherein the weaker perish and thu bctter-uriner and butter protected survived and per petuated their species. We must kill that we may live. The in nocent bird kills a hundred lives every day. To us he has a prettj beak ; to the norm it is a hideous en gine of torture. This is not cruelty , it is simple law ? We hold our lives upon snH'uraneu fioni those who an stronger or better-armed that we , anr it is from this merciless killing of the weaker and breeding from the strong er that the races grow strong. "Shall Minturn have my mate. ' Shall he buy her father with his gold ? Ho must kill me first ! Here , under neath the everlasting stars I assort my rightthn inalienable right of ani mal life , to kill him. The laws of man have reversed the laws of nature , giving to the weak protection against the strong. I appeal from the codes of man to the code of nature , that bnilded the universe into beauty. It is not. enough that he shall win her ; he shall not even woo. The weaklings with their laws may protect him , or nyengu him - if they can. The trout does not warn the minnow ; the heron does not. warn thu trout ; thu englo does not warn the heron'ho s.svoops down from the calm blue skies and takes his own. My blow shall lie as swift and : u > sure. " Fora week I studied in my lab oratory the best way to carry out my purpose , and at last the mechanism of my work was designed I could kill Minturn and blot every vestage of him from existence. To reach this end I caused to lie constructed an enormous lens. This was set in the foof of my 0a laboratory , on its southern slope , in clined 1 ] at the angle of the latitude of the place , or in other words parallel with the axis of thu earth ; so that , the position of the focus should vary as little as possible with the annual mo tion of the sun. Thu focal distance 1 carefully arranged so that the focus should bo about toree and a half feet above the paved Hour of the room. I felt confident that the lens would col. lect the sun's rays to a point so small us to give a most intense heat. To form an idea of this heat , it is only necessary to consider that a sun glass an inch in diameter , will burn a hole IIn IIn wood. A glass of live and a half inches will melt lead ; mine was a lens f ninety-six inches diameter. Ono square ] inch of lens surface will ignite paper ; my lens had over seven thou sand square inches. Thu metals held n it seemed to disapcar ; some rods melted and llamed and dripped like sealing wax , some passed immediately to vapor , others burnt with unon- cuiiible brightness. I coin rived several mechanical ar rangements , so that I was enabled to . direct thu focus upon the required point before removing thu hood that protected thu lens on thu roof. The under side of the lens 1 covered by n thick curtain , which doubled the pro tection against an accidental exposure. My great disidcratiim was a colored lens , a thermal lens , a lens to focus the rays of heat while opaque to thu rays of light , a medium which filters out ; the rays of light and transmits them. To obtain this , I had only to place into thu lens an opaque solution iodine in the disiilphidu of carbon. The lens , as seen from below , looked like a huge platu of colored glass. Jt gave me almost a childish pleasure wneii my work was complete , and J stood < bulow in my darkened laboratory < watch steel , silver , coppers or plat- ium leap into llame and disappear in lurid vapor , when ineioly placed at empty spot in mid-air. I stood there monarch of thu sun , and at my command thu very metals bccamo vapor and drifted away. I laid a brick tlooron my laboratory and secur- edan ironchairtopreventfiro. The day apparatus was completed , I locked to ( my laboratory and strolled down to the old Missouri and bathed my head as the muddy waters ; I was weary from myardons labors and needed a few hours of recreation before the final con- sumation of my design. Leavenworth was a small village then , and I could just-seo the diminutive church steeple reaching heavenward in the distance down the river. A steambort was at the levee and i could just see the long Jitoof black tmioke that curled from w smoke stack. Having rested suf ficiently , I returned to my laboratory just in time to see Capt. Minturn and Geraldine drive by. She seemed wor ried and unhappy , while ho was smiling at complacentlyandgazinginto her face , to with all thu tire of his wild , passionate nature burning in his eyes. Ah ! how strong I felt ! to-morrow . would . . gay.o into . those , . . innocent , ' r > i * luminous eyes for the last timo. I sent him tin urgent and confiden note that night , to call at my labo If ratory tho7ollowing d ay at half past 11. was ' particular about the hour , for I wanted the sun when its rays were the most intense. The next morning I arose early and again tried my engine of death , It worked < like a charm. I could have worshipped it for thu perfection of its cd mechanism , It was u wonder upon which the eye could rest without safety , mind revel without fear of oxliaiiH- tion , and the profounder faculties of " intellect pau.su , and never cease to admiio. At 1 1 o'clock I Hat down quietly , and seleclinga book commenced rending a treatise on military tactics. 1 wn cool and my thoughts were collected T marvel now on ( lie indifleionco I fel for the deed ! contemplated. Precise ly at the appointed hour I heard Mill turn coming up thu graveled walk thai led to my laboratory. I looked on and fell snru no one saw him enter. I _ drew the curtain over my lens , leavint the cord hanging ready to my grasp , so that it would fall away instantly n ! the touch of my hand , J adjusted the iron chair to the sun's position so thai the face of the occupant should bo pro eisely on the axis of the lens , t was alone in silence , but wielding a power such as man never wielded before , My victim knocked ; 1 admitted him , He looked a little abashed and timid , is if uncertain whether or not I was iwaro of his treachuiics. My cool steady , temper reassured him at once. He put on a kind of genial jocularity , "How go on the experiments ? " he aid. " 1'Tioy are perfect , " said 1 ; "and [ iray bo seated iu that iron chair , it is athorlmrd , I know , lint all 1 have to > h"or. 1 have a.small matter of import- nice I wish to speak with yon about , " 1 continued , "but before wo proceed to business , I wish to show you my latest invention. "Look up , ' 1 said play fully , assuming the air of a piofcsaionnl photogiapher. "Look at thu middle of the curtain , and 1 will show you ti gor geous , aye , nmgiiiliccnt.solar picture" 1 said this while posing him exactly in the focus. Thu silence was profound ; there was no motion anywhere ; 1 could hear thu tick of my watch The curtain hung between Minturn and death. 1 touched the cord and let fall the curtain. He did not move nor nt tern sound. Hisfacu broke stantly into a pale , greenish Ihitnu with purplish jets of llanio from the sockets of the eyes. The shaft of heat had pierced instantly through the eyes into the eyes inio thu brain. Ho reeled slowly , and fell from the chair , and his blazing face went out ns he fell , and left thu room dark again. I drew up thu curtain and laid the late Captain Minturn on the brick floor. 1 then adjusted him again to the focus , and the lens began its swift annihila tion. Very little blood flowed and this was drunk up by the absorbent bricks ; but while directing the focus on the skull ( hero was a slight explosion , which scattered some of the gr.iy mat ter of the brain ever the floor. I moved the focus gradually down from the head to the feet , it consuming every thing as it passed the flesh , the bones , the elothirig , the gold watch , the metal buttons , HO mo coins , the bunch of keys , all giving beautiful va riations of llanio tint. A largo diamond mend that he wore in his shirt front burnt with ! i magnificent brilliancy. After ho was wholly consumed the floor was thoroughly elenscd by the heat that licked up the spattered biains. The smoke that arose es caped through an opening I had made in the roof , and through it passed a transparent tremor of heated vapor. It was the soul of Captain Mintnra on its way to outer space. The midden disappearance of Cap tain Minturn was a seven day's won der at the fort , but the excitement guadnally died out. A month pasued , and I resolved to see Goraldino. I could not quiet my ceaseless yearnings for her compan ionship. I had worked at my experi ments with incessant energy , and had been rewarded by results that now are property of the world. One evening 1 crossed the parade- ground and called at Colonel .Blank's quarters. I took good care , however , that it was at a time when hu was ab sent ; not because I was unwelcome , or feared him , but that I desired to sue Gui-ildiiie alone. 1 was ushered into the parlor and found her there. She was paler but lovlier Mian ever , and seemed as she stood there a very angel gazing into her native heaven. 1 approached preached her with a strange timidity and reverence. ' ] thought wo would never meet again , Richard , you ate so proud and .self-willed , " she said. 'My thoughts have been hero all the while , Geraldino. " "You look worn and tired , Ifich- ard ; you weary yourself so with inces sant toil in tin midst of the noxious metalio fumes. " "Goraldine , " I said earnestly , "you can give mo lest and joy. Can I not keep my faith and you yoms ? Cap tain Minturn will novcr comcjbetween again. " "Js it not strange Kichard , his dis appearance ? " "No" I answered "not , strange see ing what ho done and what ho aspired to do. " She started back ; a pallor over spread her face ; who looked at mo seaichingly , in terror. AVhat do you meair ? " who uttered aghast. "Thoro is a look of fierce exultation in your eyes. O , .Richard you fill me with horrible-horrible " - thoughts ! "Give them words ! " I said. "I dare not ! I dare not speak it ! " "Then 1 will ! Ho tried to steal my jewel ! My war was with him ! Tlmt war has a name that you shudder utter ! Do not speak it then , nor will I ! lint I have battled for my mate thu poorest of catth's creatures may , under Heaven's sanction ! 1 have swept my foe out of existence by the divine right of might ! And now yon shrink ftoin me ! and must my lifo bo barren of love ! O , Geraldine ! nil my being claims you , HO unutterably pre- cions tome ! " While I spoke she had leaned back against the wall , and covered her face with her hands. As I ceased , she ut tered , in a low , horrified , whisper : "A murderer ! " "Call it so ! " I said desperately. "I was resolved that you should know all , any cost. If you deem it your duly bring mo to justice , I shall accent _ death at your hands as firmly as I could have fallen in battle. The difference will bo 1 have struck my foe , and you TO the man who worships you. " "Whata hell there must 1m in your and breast , Richard ! Oh , how I pity yon ! , by laying down my lifo at this mo- ' incut , 1 could cleanao your soul of crime , how gladly would J die ! I have hoped that wo might bo united , and i that 1 could bring to you God's sweet rest and peace. It is not the crime , ' alone , but the hideous creed you hold an.l that justifies it. How can wo bo mat- ? Minoistho religion oflovuand at life , and yours is the creed of death ! " "Oh , God ! forgive him ! " She clasped her agonized supplication. t "Oh , God ! I loved him so ! Oh , Oodj a gurgling Hound checked her utter ance , and a gush of bright arterial blood came fioni her mouth , Shu would have fallen , but 1 caught her.
