LOVE AND wAE.

Half an hour later, Mrs. Armytage and
Mrs Dimmock were alone in the garden,
when numbering carriage rolled to the
gate. Col. Arnaytage, Of the Union
army, was the man who alighted. His
hair was white enough for seventy years,
but his skin was sufficiently ruddy and
smooth for fifty; and his age was fair
compromise betwixt the two-that is,
sixty. He kissed his wife and said,
ssYour color indicates some sort of emo
ton, and that is unusual in you.n She
replied, with perfect equanimity. that
wife ought to be pleasurably agitated on
meeting her husband after separation.
II have come to take you back to
Springfield" said he.
Mrs. Armytage was frightened, and she
fnrtively scanned his face for information
| of the reason; but there was no anxiety
betrayed ia her tone when she asked if
they were to go soon. There was more
feeling in the exclamation, II am glad, .
after he had said. Immediately"
ssFm not" said Mrs. Dimmocis.
The arrival of carriage was not SO
common an event as to be uninteresting,
and from the house emerged several SER
wants. As they came toward the colonel
he hastily said to his wife and Mrs. DIM
mock: ''Gen. Lyon has arrived at Spring
field. There is to be forward movement
We can't leave you longer in a Copfed-
crate household. Hush-they must not
hear"
May Willett came out, and Col. Army
tage was presented to her. She well
coined him gracefully; and being told
I that her visitors were about to go away
said that she was very sorry, which was
: lie that politeness required of her
Mrs. Armytage hurried the prepare
tons for departure with all her might,
because she hoped to avoid q meeting
between her husband and Oliver or Tu-
dor. She whispered her purpose to May,
who gave aid to its accomplishment.
Col Armytage went into the house for
a glass of water before starting May
accompanied him. The two wives were
waiting impatientiy in the yard, when
Oliver WiiIett and Tudor Bovine saun-
tered into it together. Mrs. Army tage
fled like coward into the house. Oliver
| attributed her withdrawal to displeasure
at his recent half made avowal of love.
From Mrs. DimmoclE he learned Of the
intended sudden departure, and he con-
nected it instantly with his previous
guess that his love making had given Of
Tense. Mrs. Dimmock made bold
stroke by saying:
''Col. Armytage is in the house--hel
father repeating the latter words SO as
to fix them in divers mind, land he
will take US away within five minutes.
Now, listen to me-" and she put her arms
carelessly through those Of the men.
.sIe says the condition of this section il
dangerous. He is Union officer, and the
folks around here are Confederates. Now,
if his identity became known be might
be treated roughly. So please avoid
mentioning lis name or his relation to
Miss Armytage."
Oliver did not answer. but Tudor said
"When you command, obey, and went
into the house with the able young falsi-
fer.
Mrs. Arniytage soon came out, wear
ing a hat and light cloak, in readiness
for the ride. On seeing Oliver alone shf
would have rstired had he not detained

not forgive that one fault. She was

At midnight Mrs. Anngtage was the
sole occupant Of a room in the second
story of the spacious house which Col.
Armytage and his staff occupied. The
windows looking out on the same large
garden from which Oliver Willett had
been taken 40 spy not long before, were
wide open. for the atmosphere was sui

The Bloody Wedding.

The bloody wedding is name given by
French historians to the marriage in 1872
of Henry of Navarro to Margaret, the sis
ter of Charles X. For many years before
a religious war ragged in France between
the Catholics and the Huguenots, but an
apparent truce had been patched up and
all the leading mobiles of the country were
invited to attend the wedding festivities
August is, 1872 was the day fixed for the
marriage, and six days later, while the
festivities were still in progress, general
massacre of the Huguenots began on the
feast of St. Bartholomew. There is his
toric evidence to show that the massacre
was carefully planned by Catherine de
Medici, the Kings mother, and that by
playing on the fears of the weakminded
King he was induced to give the order
He died twenty-one months after the fatal
day, from some mysterious malady, which
caused the blood to exude from the pores
of his skin. The number OF persons who
persisted in the massacres, which spread
all over France, is variously computed at
from 1000 to 100000, the most reliable
historians placing it at about 10000.

The Bottom Reached.

The tawdry fashion of giving a woman
her husbands title has spread from Wash
ington to Tombstone. 1t has changed our
pride into variety and shriveled up cour-
tesy while trying to expand it. The papers
are to blame for some of this, because the
bride of a chicken bone and a glass of wine
turns 'our special reporter" into Jenkins in
yellow plush livery, and with footman's
rapture he will tell us that "Mrs. Commls-
sioner Biggs gave brilliant reception last
evening, at which we noticed Mrs. General
Digs and the charming Mrs. Alderman
Figs, accompanied by her beautiful
daughter, Mrs. Senator Jiggs, who kept up
a lively conversation with Mrs. Repre-
sentative Riggs" and so down to the bot
tom of the stairs.

snobs, and SO are the people who accept
them. Trades, as well as offices, are titles

Kept Right on whitewashing. ;

For cool self-possession, or remarkable
display of Indifference in trying and ex-
citing times, the descendant of Ham,
when he wants to be, is hard to discount.
The fact was forcibly illustrated in an in
cident connected with the recent trial of
the Chambers case at Ironton. One of
the principal witnesses for the defense
was Frank Jenkins negro and an eye
witness of the tragedy. Frank was white
washing a chicken-coop only few feet
away when the shooting occurred. On
the direct examination he told his story
in a plain, straightforward way, and his
evidence was very material. The cross
examiner propounded the usual questions,
and made a strenuous attempt to tangle
the witness in giving his testimony. Con-
corning the facts Immediately preceding
and at the time of the shooting ques-
ton would be asked Frank, to which he
would give prompt reply, and then the
attorney would ask:
What did you do them"
a just went on whitewashing the
chicken-coop."
"But when the defendant appeared with
the gun, and it appeared as if some one
was going to be hurt, what did you do
then ?"

coop. 1t was none of my business, and

ciated this wonderful display Of disposition
to attend strictly to ones own afairs.-S.
