One at q Time, Please.

One dark and rainy winters night the
writer was ordered to carry food to the
men in the trenches. A team was hitched
up. and with a loaded wagon and driver
we started out. Every challenge was made
with the least noise, as the enemy was only
few rods in front. Halt! dismount, and
give the countersignp' came at every thirty
PAGES. 1t was rough on my teamster, who
was rheumatic and cold. However, we
made the trip, and halted at cavalry post.
Major -, a very Paladin for courage and
strength, had rolled into my blanket for a
snooze; he had driven the enemy with
slaughter that day. My Jehu began to re-
cite his annoyance thus, "Cuss the burned
infantry; they made me halt, dismount,
and give the countersign till was weary
and tarrify wild their foolishness." A roar
followed from the couriers- At this mo-
ment trim staff officer of a general, who
had lost an arm, put in his say.
II say, hold that noise; the general
wants to rest. Don't let me hear any
more of it."
Staff had hardly gone into darkness be-
fore Jehu began his old story. 1t was
folly to try to keep back the laugh. A
staff. Hang it, didn't l tell you to stop
that noise? Who is it? I'll have him ar
restedI'
Just then, by some strange accident, a
donkey put his demure snout in at our
fire, and Tapping his ears began his un-
mistakable bray. Jehu jumped to his
feet, and shaking his fist at the donkey,
said: "One at a time. if you pleasep'

A Woman's Answer.

"Why do I belong to the Woman's
Relief corps?"
"Well my father was soldier-a
strong, large man, with an iron vvnsti-
tuition, we thought, when he went into
the army. When he came home he was
thin and gaunt, with lines of pain on his
face and streaks of gray in his dark hair.
Uncomplainingly he suffered a few years
and died. An uncle, plain, kind and
generous man, left his little comfortable
home among the northern pines followed
soon by his son, the eldest of the family,
but scarce sixteen-tall, straight as an
arrow and graceful as the pine trees he
had played beneath.
1.-THE father, after lying in the hospital
for months, was brought home, and,
though still alive, has never seen one day
free from pain, is bowed and bent, a
helpless cripple from rheumatism. Yet
he was paid in full for his services, and
has never secured one cent of pension,
because some paper is wanting. The son
died in the hospital of fever.
"Another-the dearest and best cousin
of all-fresh from college, with the
promise of a bright career in life, entered
the ranks, was shot through the heart,
an6 his dead body brought home and
buried in the old cemetery near by.
"a playmate 1 had grown up with
from infancy, who seemed like brother,
lost a leg, and now hobbies around on
crutches.
'The man married was a soldier too,
and today suffers untold agonies of pain
from exposure to wet and cold while
bravely defending his country.
"These, my friends, are some of my
reasons for joining the Woman's Relief
corps, hoping in quiet way with these
loyal women to relieve some suffering
widow or orphan, or at least to offer one
word "e sympathy. And l never NEE,
I'll old soldier, poor, dirty and ragged
though he be, without thoughts filling
my mind of the suffering and privations
he heroically endured while serving his
country, and 1 feel like grasping his
hand in token of the friendship and re-
spect I feel for him."

she answered, and offered him roll Of
bills. She added that she knew a house in

was the house of I-oi0nist-where no
could go and be coneee.ed until the excite
ment over his escape had subsidized.
He did not understand this He could
hardly trust her, her who was so intensely
southern in her sympathies, so fiercely in
imical to the north. He frankly said as

your enemy? Why should believe your"
She tried in vain to convince him. He had
refused her aid absolutely, when. in par
oxysm of feeling, covering her face with
her hands and bursting into tears, she
cried, in low, passionate tone. "Why
should do this? Because I love your
Covering her face with her veil, and
pointing to the roll of bills she had thrown
on the floor, she walked rapidly out. This
he secured a moment before the official en-
tered to conduct him hack to his cage.
He no longer doubted Mabel darling
Mabel he called her in his own mind. Her
last words had revealed everything, like q
fash of lightning, and his heart responded
completely to hers. His life was now trebly
precious. He owed it to her to save him
self If possible. Was it possible? He
would do his utmost.
He succeeded in bribing the sentinel. He
was walking out of the main entrance of
the castle on a lowering, stormy night,
when the guard halted him. He ran at
once; he heard behind him the crack of the
muskets, and heard also the whiz of the
balls; but they struck him not, shielded by
the enveloping darkness. He sought the
place of refuge; he found it, and in fort
night he was with his comrades in the
Army of the Potomac. The following April
he was among the first to enter Richmond.
Everything had gone well with him. He
seemed to have been protected by the
providence of woman's love.
The story is told. But for the benefit of
those who insist on demanding the super
fuous, may add that dined only last
week with Mr. and Mrs. Northrop Lowell
(she is no less interesting now than she
was as Mabel Chalmer) and their two chill
dren, son of nineteen and a married
daughter of twenty-three. It was pleas
ant social occasion. We recited many rem
iniscences of the civil strife, to which the
young people listened with delight, regard
ing their elders curiously, as they would
have regarded US had we spoken of the
War of the Roses, or the invasion of Eng.
land by the Normans.

peared to be not the slightest probability
of his escape. His was one of many in
stances in which a mans life, innocent
though he may be, is sacrificed to public
clamor.
The colonel did not pretend to enjoy the
false position in which he was placed. He
was courageous and resolute; but death as
a spy, especially by hanging-a most igno-
minious mode of exit from the world-was
abhorrent to him. He had often expected
to be killed in battle-that might be the
fate of any soldier; but to be swung from
the gallows like common felon was
wholly different. He thought of it con-
stantly and bitterly; but stoical philosophy
at last came to his aid. II offered my life
to my country" he soliloquized, "when
entered the field. What matter how die
to serve it, Any manner of death in such
cause should be honorable. To be pun
ished as a spy does not make me a spy; and
my friends and all who care for me will
know how unjustly have been accused.
Whatever my fate, I will bear it as becomes
an American"
Northrop Lowell was but twenty eight,
New Yorker, the elder son of successful
merchant. After leaving college he had
gone into his fathers counting room to
time succeed to the paternal place. He
had been there three years; had made
many friends; life was opening bright and
beautiful, when the war broke out. Hav-
ing learned to detest slavery from what he
had seen of it in the south, he was one Of the
early volunteers in New York cavalry
regiment. He joined it as a private; was
elected first lieutenant after Bull Run, and
had afterward risen to colonelcy by gal
liant service. That was his brief career;
now the end was drawing nigh, and in the
shadow stood the hangman.
Such was his gloomy musing on May
afternoon. as he paced the dark wooden
cell on the second floor of Castle Thunder,
before which sentinel walked. A sub
official appeared from below, announcing
that lady, Miss Mabel Chalmer, wished
to see him. He remembered the name
not common one-vividly. It was that
of an attractive girl he had often met at a
friends house at home She had an elder
married sister living in New York, whom
she had visited several times, and she was
social fsvorite there. Lowell and she had
been very good friends; had had, indeed,
various sentimental passages, which meant
nothing, as she was considered q desperate
flirt and Northrop was not susceptible.
The winter previous to the firing on Sum.
ter they had actually quarreled because
she was so violently southern and he so
ardently northern. Could the .Aller possi-
bly, be she?
Lowell found that it was she, and that
she greeted him cordially. She was living
in Richmond; her father. brother, all her
surviving kinsmen were in the Confeder.
ate army, and, through their influence,
she had been allowed to visit the colonel
as a former friend. They were allowed to
converse freely and alone. She told him
that he would certainly be executed, though
she believed him innocent, unless he could
escape. That is impossible" he replied;
Il have thought it all over. l am con-
stantly watched
