Clara gave him a push rom her, and said,
impatiently:
" DO let it alonsl"
"Clara !"
Walter looked straight at her, with search
ing eyes, but Clara was too busy TO look up.
He walked close to her, and took both her
hands firmly.

cause such q change in you? For some time

Still no reply from the young lady.

Tie woman he adored had grown jealous Of
one whom lie was bound to treat III the
future as he had in the past. He carefully

fully convinced that Clara had done wrong.
He was sure she would find out her mistake

Clara did find out her mistake before many

Clara stood in the hall when he passed out.

She longed TO speak, but her voice would
not sound she wanted to spring forward and
throw her arms around him, but her feet re-
fused TO move; and she saw pass out of the
vestibule n lonely and detected man.
Clara did not sleep any the rest Of that
night. There was u bitter g~nawing at her
heart which told her she would suffer for
this.

But two of that party were miserable

sung as gavly as any of the rest, and no one
ever would la Q suspected anything wrong.
When they drew up to the hotel, Walter

and up the steps alone.
She was sorry afterwards that she had done
so.
Walter asked her once to dance with him
she haughtily refused, and again was sorry.
When they started for home she found her

1t was bitter cold, and the rest of the party,
tired out, were doing under their warm wrap

watch over the other.
Clara was just thinking how the bells
seemed to shout, II love you'll love You"
when she suddenly found herself sinking
backward, and in an instant she was buried
in a heap of snow, buffalo robes and straw.
A chorus of shouts and screams arose, and
in the confusion Clara felt an arm raising her

III the June regattas the Larchmont Club
leads of Oh the 9th. the Atlantic on the 18th,
the Columbia also on the 18th, the Brooklyn
on the 10th, the New York on the. 2lst, the
Seawanhaka on the 23d, and doubtless there
will be other matches and what not sand
wiched in between these dates.
lu July the Larchmont again leads on with
tho annual regatta on the Fourth. This has
always been its date. There will be a half
dozen other yachting events on that day, but
this is the only one of general Importance;
This is the only fixture for this month thus
far, but no doubt there will be others. But
July is the month for cruising, rather than
racing, and the New York yachts whiten the
waters of the Sound for its whole length.
The Larchmont Club again leads off i'll
August with tho oyster-boat race. The day
is not fixed, but il will be early. And the
New York and Atlantic clubs have their an
nual cruises. There will also be many
matches during this month, the results OF
the seasons rlvalries.
IN Sept. ! the Larchmont Club has its fall
regatta, and this, as yet, Is the only Septem-
Der fixture. There is some talk of a fall
regatta of the New York Yacht Club, but it
is doubted if there is sufficient yachting
spirit left in the old club to make it anything
but talk. The New York Yacht Club has u
glorious past and is living on it,
Each year sees u great increase in the num-
Der of steam yachts, much to the disgust of
the true yachtsman... Among the events of
\ the coming soason will be the opening of the
new clubhouse of the American Club, Mt
Milton Point, near Rye, Westchester County,
and its annual regatta, the date for which is
not yet fixed. There may also be II challenge
for that S12. 500 " mug" offered by this club
if the steam yacht now building ut Glasgow
prove faster than Mr.. Gould's Atalanta, con-
fessedly the finest and fastest steam yacht in
the world.
Recently the usual dismissal of the crew
after q long VOYAGE and some distnuntling, i'll
order to prepare her for the season, gave rise
to the report that Gould was tired of yacht
ing and was desirous OF selling the Atalanta.
There is not the least probability of his doing
that so long as she stands at the head of her
to purchase anything that can beat her, and
then, and not until then, he will sell the Alta
lanta.
A race that will attract much attention Is
that which has been arranged between Mr..
Munro's Now Then aud q machine simi.

called the "Buz." The "Buz" has been
purchased by a member or the American
Yacht Club, who, it IS believed, is MIR. w. Z,

this type have a right to be considered a
yachts, but say that they are mere racing
machines. They ella. however. n speed OF

A Romantic Meeting

Two strangers met casually in
Langits saloon on Second avenue
about six weeks ago. Both had been
soldiers in the late war, but had fought
on opposite sides, as subsequent facts
brought out.
A young girl was there playing on
an organet for her own amusement.
She finally struck up the old familiar
Union song, Tramp, Tramp, the
Boys Are Marching"
That's right, my girl spoke up
nj of the men. "Play that tune. 1t
reminds me Of old times and l like the
air"
"But / don't like IT." interposed the
other stranger. II hate the song.
Don't play it. Play something else.
"But she shall play it, exclaimed
the first man fiercoly.
mo, she won't" was the determined
answer.
The child was frightened, and look
ing up into the faces of the men said:
40, sirs, don't quarrel. / will play
angels of Heaven Defend Us in
stead"
But the Union man was not salts
fed, and was determined to have his
song. The Confederate was equally
obstinate and the courtesies exchane-
ed were not according to the best
usages IN society.
."Who are your" asked the southeF-
ner in a rage.
"Men called me the Ptumed Scout

A LOYAL Parish .

l send you a Renaissance of the
reign of terror that existed in Gaia.
houla Parish, La, during the late war.
1t is a Union song, and was composed
and written IN 1863 by an old gentle
nan named James Graham, who was
living here then. AS a preface 1
would say that this parish was OPP
posed to secession, and many of us
determined that, let come That might,
we would never lift a gun against the
old flag. Among US was the author
of this song. Ostracised, prosecuted,
and expelled from society because of
our loyal sentiments, we naturally
formed associations among ourselves.
Mr.. Graham had nc home of his own,
but lived about among us, following
the vocation of a shoemaker, and at
night and other odd times when no
secessionist was present, would enter
tain us by singing his song to the air
of "Old Rosin the Bow" After the
passage of the conscript act by the
Confederacy seeing we could no lon
ger remain at our homes, we sought
safety in the woods and jungles where
we remained secreted for a great
length of time. The cOnscript hun
tiers finding themselves foiled sent off
and procured bloodhounds, with which
they began to scour the woods in
search of us. Then followed a gene
raj exodus Of us to the Federal lines.
at Natchez, Miss, and among us Mr..
Graham. On arriving there some Of
us took service in the Federal army,
others obtained government work,
while others went North. The last
that was seen of old man Graham he
was on board a Federal transport
waving his hat to us, as she backed
out from Natchez-under-the-H Hill
bound northward. since when we have
eve seen or heard of him. Those of,
us who survived the struggle returned
after it was over, to our desolate
homes in this parish. Many moons
have come and gone. and many chan.
ges have taken place here since the
old man last tuned his rough, though
patriotic, air among us, yet the few of
us left who weathered the storm still
fondly cherish its remembrance, inter-
laced as it is with the hallowed and
glorious memories that encirele it.
And now after we have lived to rea-
lie the hope expressed in the last
verse of the old mans strain we would
like to read his song, together with
his letter of explanation, in your loyal
and patriotic columns, and thereby
feel Virgil verified: "Haeo OHM
