CHAPTER I.
AN ANGLO-SAXON'S DEATH.
Gently the midsummer breezes rustled the green leaves of the giant oaks and
towering poplars that stood guard over the Dalton house, which, as though
spurning their protection, rose majestically above them and commanded a
splendid view of the Tennessee fields and woodlands, stretching far out on
either side of the leisurely flowing Cumberland.
The subdued whisperings of the winds, their elf-like tread as they
cautiously crept from tree top to tree top, tended to create the suspicion
that they were aware of the tragedy which their mother, Nature, was so soon
to enact within the walls of the house around which we now see them
hovering.
In a sumptuously furnished room of this magnificent structure, Maurice
Dalton, the present owner thereof, lies dying; battling heroically yet
losingly in that last, inevitable conflict which he had been summoned to
wage with the forces of decay. The head of this dying Anglo-Saxon rests, in
these its last moments, on the bosom of Aunt Catherine, an aged Negro
woman, who was his first and loving nurse in infancy, and has been his one
unswerving friend and worshipper in all of his after life.
