opened, through which thousand detached |
recollectlons rushed into his mind, and filled
II with the Hash OF their explosion-how SEN

ana adventure; how the sight of anything |
scarlet through the trees would excite her
and how she would ever listen, as with quiyer- |
ing nostril, to martial description or the mar
rative OF soldierly deed. All at that mo-
ment seemed plain to him, and he walked on
harsfly and mechanically as If by the side of
a stranger.
For several days the incident of the bugle |
blast could not be dismissed from his mind. II |
retained At first all the horrible importance |
which his thoughts had assigned it, but ere |
long he began to reflect how fantastic was his |
whole mode Of constituting such circumstance |
