Story Of a Name--Capt. Han
cocks Romance.
From the Baltimore SUM-

From the Baltimore SUM-
Miss Title Russell was q young
lady of Winchester, Va. She is the
subject of the painting by Oregon
Wilson, "Woman's Devotion; or, A
Night on the Battlefield" Tue pic
ture represents the young lady seat
ed on the battlefield with her hair
falling around her shoulders. The
scene is Il field near Winchester in
1864. Lying on the ground is a
young Confederate soldier, Randolph
Ridgely, who has been seriously
wounded. The field surgeon left him
in charge of the young lady, telling
her that if he was allowed to move
it would be at the cost of his life
The surgeon left her with her charge
early in the evening aud failed to
return. All night she held the
wounded man in her arms, at what
discomfort she aloue knew. Her
shawl had been taken to use as a
flag of truce. In the morning she
was found still holding the wounded
soldier. Her care had saved his life.
The year following this episode OF
the war Capt. Richard j. Hancock,
who is a native of Bossier parish,
La, was brought into Winchester
badly wounded and prisoner. He
was lying on cot when be saw a
young lady looking in the door. To
Miss Russell, for she was the young
lady, Captain Hancock unfolded the
matter nearest his heart. 1t was his
love for Virginia girl and his hopes
of speedily marrying her. His hopes
he said, were blighted on account Of
his being a prisoner. Miss Russell
listened to his story and promised
then and there to effect his escape
Five weeks later, when he was con
valescing, she got information thai
he was to be sent to Fort Delaware
The night before he was to be trans
ferred she put hospital badge OF
his arm, gave him basket to Garry
and not only effected his escape
through the Federal lines, but map
ped out a plan by following which
he reached Ellerslie, the home of hi
sweetheart, whom he married on
month later.
