fellow lsnearly at the end ofhis tether.'
Rose did not reply, but bent closely
over the sick man, hergaze seeming to
pierce his very soul. He returned her
look with one as earnest; | stood a
little back OF her, but now stepped
forward, when the man transferred
his gaze from Rose to me a moment
only he looked, when a CHASTITY smile
broke over the poor, thin face; askele-
ton hand and arm were extended
toward me, and a feeble voice said so
low that | had to bend to hear it.
Sister Elmer, don't you know me?
Thank God, Pm home again!"
Great heavens! Brother Will" l
exclaimed, shocked beyond measure,
and falling upon my knees before the
litter.
Poor Rose was forgotten, and when
thought OF her and looked around
Tor her, one OF the men was Just saw
ing her from falling as she was about
to faint.
Running to her. I cried: Don't,
Rose! don't faint; be q brave little
woman, noa, and help me to get him
home"
The brave little thing, by a strong
effort, recovered herself, and came up
to the litter, timidly extending her
hand and trying to smile through the
tears that rained down her face. Will
looked ut her piteously and hungrily,
as one starved for the sight OF a dear
familiar face.
A hospital ambulance was called,
and we were all soon at home, where
Will was quickly laid in a clean, cool
bed, u family doctor in attendance,
and the work of restoration begun.
When able to give us some account
OF himself, Will said, that during the
retreat from Bull Run, as
he, with some OF his comrades, were
attempting to preserve some kind Of
order and to rejoin their regiment, q
small party OF the enemy's cavalry
dashed i'll among them, and Will
pistols leveled at their heads, de
manded their surrender. AS the con.
federates were two to one, resistance
seemed hopeless, and they were
marched off.
They weretaken direct to Richmond
thence to Danville, where he, with
Others, had been kept confined unit
their exchange could be effected. This
was delayed by various circumstances
his illness once or twice inducing the
prison authorities to send him to the
hospital, and it was after one
OF these turns OF illness that
he was finally exchanged. HI
knew nothing OF the singular similar
ity Of names Of three members OF the
three regiments, but remembered tina,
a number of the I'd Ohio had been al
most cut in two by q cannon ball, fol
he stood near him, say him throw ur
his arms, and heard the cleam O
'gony.
To restore HIM to health was not &
work OF days or weeks, but ofmonths
and the war clouds had begun to dis
perse when Will was able to start
once more, on his quest for fortune
But before this he had obtained Roses
promise to be his bride when he haG
the nest ready, and on a bright June
morning, the following year, she was
borne from us, fearful and smiling, tc
a town on the broad prairies of Hi
nois, where viii had established him
self and made his homenest; and there
we leave them.

lie had telesraphed to the COM
handle OF the two Ohio regiments,
and discovered that there were two
William Marstens; one was reported
missing and the otherkilled; thelatter
had been seen to fail, but the body
had been lett on the field.
AS the northern army began to re-
cover from the decentralization of de-
feat my husband and myself thought
1t possible to obtain some definite
tidinss OF my brothers fate, and, ac-
~companied by my father, a physician,
we started for the battlefield, stop
ping at Washington to CLEAN from the
SURVIVORS such information as they
had to give. We learned that q vii.
ham Marsten had certainly been killed,
as n soldier had heard the scream
that followed the deadly ball, and a
Ghmrade had told him that it was a
William Marsten OF one OF the Ohio
renlmnutS. which ono ha ala
not remember. From the rolls
OF both regiments the two were
missing, But here very strange thing
appeared. The other regiment of the
brigade, the. I'd New York, also had q
William Marsten on it's rolls, and he
was safe. So it appeared that there
were three OF the name, one in each
regiment, and all three had met u diff
ierentfate. Had thename been Smith,
or Jones, or Brown, it would have ex-
cited no wonder, but we never consid-
cree Marsten & common name, and
yet here were three OF the name III one
brigade.
We went on the battlefield, but
amidst the debris Of the struggle, and
the new-made graves, we could tindno
traces OF our lost, and sadly we turned
homeward, my fatherlookinga aged and
broken. When my husband and
reached our home i'll Philadelphia, we
found poor Rose looking white ana
anxious, and to her mute appea! OF
inquiry, we could only reply by a silent
and sad shake OF the head. No words
were necessary.
