How He Waited Tor n Baby Girl to Grow
Up.
Congressman Oates. of Alabama, with
his fifty-six years and only one arm. has
a romantic story that surrounds the loss
OF the other arm, says the WashiuEtOu
Post During the war he served IN the
confederate army, ard it was before
Richmond that he received the wounds
that necessitated the amputatiou Of the
right arm. At this time IL was that
Oates was obliged to lay OF On sick
leave while he recovered from his In
juries. He was received into the house
of southern family and nurscd by the
eldest daughter. When he pulled
through oates felt that his life had not
only been saved by her but his future
happiness was in hcr hands. The Young
officer told his story. but this young nurse
did not favor his suit-whcthcr because
she thought it was pressed simply from
gratitude or whether she did not return
his affection is not told. Oates was too
weak to return TO his command. and be-
tween fretting over his rejected suit
and at the delay in his return 70 the
front was in a most unhappy mood
One day when more despondent than
ever the mother looked up and said,
laughingly: Never mind, captain; you
just wait for So-and-so," pointing to the
baby. In the cradle she was rocking
"You can have her by and by" The
captain laughed. The baby began to
grow TO girlhood and Oates was inter

Of marriagsable age he reminded her
mother Of her old promise made over
the baby's cradle. There was no oppo-
sition to the match and the couple are
unusually happy. This accounts for the
difference In age, at which many people
have wondered. Mrs. Oates Is a pretty
woman, with southern grace and hos
pitality, and devoted to her husband.
