were shrouded in an almost impenetrable
gloom, which lasted about five minutes. Many

A romance Of the late war was revived
In the Police Court here to-day. One day
in the spring OF 1866, when General Judson
Kilpatrick's army was marching through
South Carolina, an unusually engaging and
pretty little woman came to the roadside
and inquired for the General. To him she
said she was school-teacher from Ver>
mont, stranded by the war, and asked the
privilege Of moving with his army. She
was put into an ambulance, and subse-
quently occupied family carriage "for-
aged" by the soldiers. Onqalay there was
new officer on the Generals staff, a boy
ish-looking fellow whose face had never
yet needed a razor. He sat on his horse
rather awkwardly at first, and even after
many days was unable to arrive at the
easy gait of the veteran cavalryman.
"Who is that young fellow" would be
the question along the ranks az the staff
would sweep by on gallop.
"That's Captain Charley" would be the
remark with a wink. When the truth was
known some men sneered, others bit their
lips. All agreed II might have been ex-
pected. At any rate, 1t was no mans par

would provide for the girl when railroad

rode with Kilpatr ok through the Caro-
liDas. One day there was q stubborn fight
in which one regiment got separated from
the main body. It was necessary that
orders be sent IT, Nobody cared TO go, for
the valley was swept with grape, canister
and shells, but Captain Charley's black
eyes were blazing. Turning to Fitzpatrick
he said: "Let me go, General"
"Go, then. Take low ground there in
tho hollow and ride like the devil" All
watched the dayple-gray as she spun along
an unused wagon-trac in the hollow. A
redoubled roar Of artillery and the sharp
snap Of rifles told IL was no summer
shower through which Captain Charley
was riding. The rider disappeared and
cessation Of firing by the detached regi-
ment told that the order had been deliv.

the main road and a cleared field, their
sabers flashing In the sun. Captain Char
Icy essayed to come back and Join his
chief. Just ut tho moment when the aide
de-camp reached the last elevation In hii
perilous path, an enormous shell exploded
