ing on my door. / knew it was none

cluded was freed at last, but now, for
the first time. I determined to fight be-
fore surreudering. So, grasping my
revolver and taking a big drink of

me courage. / approached the door and
demanded why was being disturbed.
Let me in was the reply in a woman's
voice. This was astonishing, but it
only confirmed me in the belief that /

But answered as bravely as possible:
i know no woman who has any bust

closely as that of a soldier. l grasped
her hand, with a flood of questions
upon my lips, but she silenced all by

assisted me into the vehicle and We
were off.
Miss Cushman held my hand in her
lap during the whole of that long, rough
ride, which consumed the rest of the
night, for just as the day was breaking
we drove into Deckard's Station and on
to the depot, in front of which train
for Chattanooga was standing. A few
hurried words from Miss Cushman to

An Old Couples Reunion.

Thirteen years before the war of the
rebellion a negro man and wife, An
thony and Sally Edwards, lived with
their master in Pike County, Mo. An
thony was in.time sold to a Southern
planter, the wife and their one child re-
manning with the Missourian. Then
came the war, and Anthony and Sally
lost all trace Of one another, and after
the war each remarked. Anthony's sec
ond wife died, and he drifted to st. Louis;
and it so happened that Sally's second
husband died, and she and her daugE-
ter by the first marriage went to the
same city. The daughter, having re-
ceived some intimation that her father
was in the city, searched, and after
three years found him. These facts
came to the public when the old cou-
pie, now about eighty years of age
each, went the other day to the record
er's Office to obtain marriage license.
