CHAPTER III.
A SURPRISE.

Amit the stirring scenes of 60 there
was nat much time for cavalry man to
indulge in romance, but Harry Winthrop
found ap opportunity to make a brief excur-
sion to ehe spot where he had been struck
down ny tho unseen foe, for he could not
disabuse his mind Of the belief that Kate
Frobi$ham's presence, had been reality and
not the phantasy Of delirium, as Gordon
Grey had maintained so stubbornly.
Ahs yes, caught upon a thorn on q bush
close by, duttered dainty little handker-
Gbief, stained and torn; but, when he read
the Initials K. F. on its corner, more
precious to him than the costliest one the
peasants of Belgium ever wove on their
swans down pillows, he was sure Of it.
So Kate was there after all, and this was
the mute witness that her love for him was
not deads else, why had he been so tenderly
treated, if her intercessions had not pre-
vaileda Night and day with a lovers fervor
he wore the dear relic next his heart through
many . month Of Wild adventure.
To Gordon Crews surprise he returned to
camp with the flush of health mantling his
cheek
"You look fresh as two-year-old colt,
sir" said the incorrigible lad.
"Any news, Grey?" Winthrop asked, as
he flung himself from the saddle.
tsNews! should think sol The best of
news. Fighting Joe Hooker has licked the
Rebs at Williamsburg and pursued John
stopeto within seven miles of Richmond"
"That is grand, indeed.''
"Ah, but I've q better story to tell you
than that. Stonewan Jackson and Eweu
are comming up the valley in force, and
we'll see some real fun before the snow
falls"
"That threatens Washington" said
Harry, gravely. 81 see Johnston's move;
he is doing this to save Richmond"
And it happened as Harry thought it

And lent to the day grace
That marks it day worth recalling

In the soufs solitary retreat.

Though its melodies rippled SO faint

And when the silence begun,

Tho song and my dreaming were one.
For the song had awakened an idyl,

where to dry, and ON box can of cold tea
and some bread and meat He ate and
drank, dressed and rose refreshed.
A beautiful panorama met his view as he
stepped from the tent into the open. Before
him lay the River Rappahannock, and on a
hill beyond the town of Fredericksburg.
He saw the dense masses of the Union
troops crossing pontoon bridges in long
gray lines; he saw the Confederates swarm
ing behind low stone wall, while the
heights above were crowned with artillery;
and he burned to have share in the glory
of the impending battle. At any rate he
could not stand still and look on, 80 he hur-
ried down to the bank Of the river. He had
hardly reached the spot than General Burn
side and his staff pressed by him. Taking
the smallest detail in at glance, he turned
to Harry and said in sharp, severe tones:
"You, sirl Why are you not with your
regimenta Forward, at the double Quick!'
The die was cast. Harry fought that day
at Fredericksburg.
Never in the history Of war was more
noble devotion nor more pitiable carnage
seen. Again and again the Union troops
hurled themselves against that terrible
stone wall, and again and again, like the
forked lightning of a thunder cloud, the
cannons belched their fury on them. Still
they fought and fell, and with wild cheers
Meagher's unflinching Irishmen charged
over the dead bodies in their ranks with
mad frenzy struggling for victory; but
of flame and crashed showers Of bullets,
till nature in mercy flung the black pail of
night over the CHASTITY scene.
OF Meagher's gallant heroes, two-thirds
lay dead within a hundred yards Of that
stone wall at Fredericksburg.

PECULIAR CREATURES.

Remaykable Appearance OF Fish That
Live Down Under tho Sea.
1.-THE absence of sunlight, the tremendous
pressure of the water at such depth and its
quiet stiffness are the causes which make
the vast physiological differences between
the fish at the bottom of the sea and those
near the surface, with which we are most
familiar" remarked prominent scientific
man to a reporter.
ssMany of the most wonderful pecul1arities
of the deep-sea fish are due to the absence
of sunlight" he continued, land some Of
them are totally blind, being absolutely
without eyes or having only rudimentary
ones, like those which are seen in fish which
inhabit the streams Of caves where the sun
never shines. On the other hand, there are
some varieties which have eyes of abnormal
size, in order that they may collect all the
rays of light that penetrate the deep.
Experiments show that the light OF
the sun can not penetrate the water beyond
q depth Of about two hundred fathoms, and
that just beyond that depth the light is but
a faint glimmer, while still farther down is
total darkness.
:" Yet these creatures, living far away
from the light Of the sun, must have some
means Of shaping their course in the
search of food, and nature has so well pro
vided for their needs that they are actually
q light unto themselves, like lanterns; they
have certain organs that emit q phosphores-

Some of them carry tiny torches in the

their heads, while others have little rows OF

broke in confusion for Washington.
On the 18th day Of September, when the
leaves Of the trees were already beginning
to be tinted with scarlet, Harry Winthrop
found himself in command OF scouting
party, feel Lees lines. The afternoon
was well advanced, and the horses heads
had been turned towards the Union camp
when the young Lieutenant, thinking he
heard the clatter Of hoofs in the rear, halted
his men and fell back to reconnoiter. They
were on the Haggerstown pike, and every
instant the sound became clearer. Sud-
denly it ceased, and Winthrop, moved by
curiosity, trotted his horse to a bend in, the
road which commanded q distant view. A
quarter of q mile away he saw a substantial
house, with a garden in front reaching to
the high road, and q troopers horse, tied
by his bride to the front gate, standing i'm
patiently paving the ground. To dismount
and quietly approach was the work of a few
minutes. Doubtless the rider was in that
house, and Harry was resolved to know
what he wanted there; and, the better to
secure that information, he hid. pistol in
hand, behind tree clese to the garden
gate.
Presently the door opened and young
Confederate officer and a girl stood IL the
porch. There was hurried embrace, one
long, passionate kiss, and the lady retired
indoors, while the rebel soldier hurried
down the path to his charger; but hardly
had he touched the horses bride than Har-
ry was upon him.

hoarse whisper. "One word to alarm the
