CHAPTER XVI.
A GLANCE BACKWARD.

After Johns departure from Texas the Gregory family settled down to the usual hum-drum of plantation life.
 Lanvale, crippled by his wound, re- mained an inmate of the house for six weeks, and being on his good behavior succeeded in completely captivating Janet. A few weeks after his recovery he rode up to the house one day and made a formal request of the colonel for his daughters hand The co'0nel had been prepared by his wife, wht. was cognizant of the situation, and they had long and anxiously conferred upon the matter. Neither Col nor Mrs. Gregory fully trusted Lanvale, but their daughters happiness seemed bound up in him; they knew nothing about him of positive character ex- cept his passionate temper. They were not mercenary people, and cared little for his financial standing. The result of their conference had been a reluctant conclusion to throw no obstacles in the way.
 The colonel met the young man pleas antly, had a long and friendly talk with him, and got from him a promise that he would make his homo with them, which promise Lanvale was in no way reluctant to make, as he quickly saw the solid advantage to accrue to him from the arrangement. There be- ing no apparent reason for delay, the marriage took place in two months.
 The young couple took wedding trip down to Galveston and the coast, spending a month or so, and during the trip Janet received several shocks, but in her then state of infatuation and blind fondness the impressions quickly faded away.
 They settled down on the plantation, Lanvale ostensibly devoting himself to his profession in the town, to which he rode daily, but in reality devoting his time to gambling, drinking and politics.
 In a month every negro on the place hated and feared him for his brutality and tyranny. And it was not a very long time before Janet knew that she was tied for life to an exceedingly com mon lump of clay. His fine appearance and showy qualities hid nature thor oughly coarse, overbearing and brutal. Like most women she undertook to make the best of a bad matter, and chung to him with a devotion worthy of a better cause.
 All A0ASSo PdSSCA GAAC 6CCCS- sion ordinance, war broke out and everything was excitement. Col. Greg ory, notwithstanding the earnest re- monstrances of his family, accepted a colonel's commission, Lanvale became a captain in the same regiment and Henry Gregory lieutenant in Lan- vale's company. The regiment was or dered to Virginia, but did not see much active service during the campaign of 1861.
 In the winter of 1881 the two lonely women were gladdened by the arrival of little girl, and in the joys of young motherhood Janet found much allevia- tion from the sorrows arising from the dreadful fratricidal war.
 In the spring of 1862, the mother and daughter after correspondence with the absent soldiers decided to pay a visit to Virginia, as their soldiers couldS not visit them; so May of that year found them comfortably domiciled in Rich mond and receiving occasional brief visits from the men of the family.

 About half-past three he reported to the general, nothing the worse for his tremendous journey.
 '1 see, young man, that these dis patches are dated noon of the 21st; this is the 2Sd. At what hour did you leave Gen. Lees campP"
 About two o'clock, general"
 "What is your nameP"
 'John Hewson, company B. - the Virginia cavalry"
 "Virginia born?'
 Alabama, sir"
 "Well, Private Hewson, you are . good rider, few men could have made the trip in the time. By the way, how did you come in possession of two extra horses, with federal equipmentsP''
 "Spoils of war, general; little slxirm- ish on the road, and here are some papers I took from the owners of the horses.".
 Living or dead?'
 "One dead, one insensible."
 "Ahl I see;" and, turning to a soldier ly-looking man near by, he said, in an undertone:
 "A gallant soldier, Col. Ashby."
 "Indeed he is," responded the lion- hearted Virginian, land would like the best kind to capture him"
 John caught this conversation and flushed with pleasure.
 The general read the papers hastily and knitted his brow. Turning to John he said: "I will need you again shortly. In the meanwhile, shall at once recom- mend you for promotion to a lieuten- ancy."
 "Indeed, general. am not seeking promotion"
 ''I presume not, men of your stamp do not seek it; in times like these it natur ally comes to them"
 John returned to quarters, awaiting orders.
 The general took Col. Ashby into his inner den, and held an earnest confer ence with him.
 'I see from these papers that these men belong to an Ohio regiment, which had supposed to be with the command in my front Evidently they are quiet ly detaching endorsements to their people in West Virginia. Now, could not you make a dash with your regi- ment and cut of these people, and thus discourage them from enlarging the ex- periment?"
 The black-bearded cavalryman's eyes sparkled.
 "I only wait your commands, general, and am eager for the fray"
 The general looked at him sadly, as if he saw the untimely ending of the heroic life, but said nothing. After few moments thought, as if his mind was made up: Gen Lee writes me that can retain this courier for the present, as he would probably not re turn in safety, the country becoming more dangerous daily. You will take him as guide and start with the dawn; reckon the distance at fifty-f1ve miles; by forced marching you might strike them about dark the second day, as they are not likely to move until the weather. clears. hope that you will be able to give them genuine surprise"
 Ashby went out joyfully to give the necessary orders and in few minutes all was hustle.

A Singular Answer to the Complaint @

A Singular Answer to the Complaint of
"Leading Lady,
In some respects the answer to the CON-
plant of Nine Franzeska Crosse Becker is
a singular one. She was the " leading
lady" Of the German theatrical company in
this city during the season from August l
to December, 1891. but after the close of the
same sued the management for $50 for
services rendered in appearing at stated
performance aud for some $685. for her pass
age from Europe and salary at $3.50 per
month.
The answer by the managers was filed
yesterday, and they comprise firm COM
posed of the lady's husband, Arthur Becker,
Alphopse Hirsch and George II. Kahu
They deny her several claims and assert
that the partnership was entered into with
the express understanding that the husband
should De the stage manager and receive
half of the profits, provided that madame
gave her services gratuitousIy as Heading
lady,"
AS regards the $40 claim, they answer
that she was recompensed on the occasion
by the gift of theatrical dresses.
