The average writer of fiction describes
every southern man as wearing long.
black hair, a wide brimmed hat and a
fierce mustache. The southern woman
is pictured as tall and stately, with
black eyes and raven tresses. Marian
Percy was a true child of the south, and
yet she had hazel eyes, brown hair and
was petite in figure. AS she passed the
ragged little darkies in the street they
looked after her ard called:
Golly me. but dar goes Miss Sun
shine again.'
OF sunny disposition, charitable in
thought and deed, respected by all, she
had dignity without haughtiness, was a
queen among girls without arrogance.
IF every other girl of the south was ar
guing for and enthusiastically applaud
ing the right Of secession and wearing
the toy Palmetto flag, Marian was the
exception. Not that the momentous
events were lightly passed over. but be-
cause she was weighing them and pom
dering deep.y. Educated at the north,
she had formed strong friendships and

CHAPTER Y.

1t took three days more to enlist the
men necessary to fill the ranks of the
Shenandoah guards, as the company
called itself, and while awaiting orders
from Richmond an election Of officers
was held. Only a few Of the volunteers
were surprised at Royal Kenton's en-
listment. They were men who had but
one political belief-state rights. They
were not looking beyond it to the south
ern c~onfederacy, but had enlisted and
were going to the front to fight for Vir-
GINA. Why shouldn't he fight for his
adopted state: So argued the captain,
so argued the rank and file and many
citizens Of the town, and, but for Duke
Wyle, Kenton would have been elected
second lieutenant of the company. When
he saw how things were going. he called
Steve Brayton aside and said:
"Look here, Steve, you fellows are as
blind as young kittens. If that Yankee
hadn't signed the roll, what would have
happened to him?"
"Tar and feathers and a ride on a
rail-" replied Steve.
"And he was sharp enough to realize
it. He enlisted as a blind"
"Shoo! How kin he un bluff that
way?"

81 can wait" he said to himself as
he walked down street. when the
news comes back here that Kenton has
deserted to the enemy, I shall have the
field all to myself"
The reception of Royal Kenton half
an hour later may not have been more
cordial, but his visit was more prolong-
ed, and he appeared to CLEAN more COM
fort from it. When the act of his non
election to position was incidentally re-
ferred to, he said:
Il did not seek for any position. In
deed, had it been left to me to accept or
decline, I should have remained in the
ranks"
"This is only the beginning" replied
Marian. Virginia has always been
ready to honor those who honor her.
Mother and l both feel a little disap-
pointed, but we know it will come out
right in the end"
Your mind is fully made up::'

Wyle's fling about desertjon.

I will see that he is promoted to the po-
sition he deserves. He is q private, is
he not?'
"Y-yes, SIR" stammered the lieute-
nant, confused and chagrined that his
rival should be thus honored. "Hls
name, sir, is Ike'--
It was on his tongue to rob Royal
Kenton of his laurels and transfer them
to Ike Baxter, but he could not do it.
t'It was a private named Kenton, l
believe, " he said as he lifted his eyes to
those of the general again.
"Thanks. He is a brave man, and
you ought to be proud Of him. Ycu
must not feel put out about it, lieute-
nant. All of us are new to war yet.
Goodness will come with experience.
have no fault to find with any of the
officers or men. That's all, sir"
The officer saluted and retired and
made his way back to his company.
But for one thing he would have sent
for Royal Kenton and offered him his
hand and his congratulations. Both
loved the same maiden. Even if both
had stood on the same footing in her es-
timation when the company left the val
ley events had occurred that day which
would give his rival the lead.
The first thing Lieutenant Wyle did
after reaching his lines was to send for
Ike Baxter. He was much of the same
mold as Steve Brayton-a small farmer,
shiftless and uneducated and having a
decided distaste for anything like hard
work, but far more bigoted in his Sec
tional feelings. He was not n Of the
handful Kenton had rallied and led
back, but was forced up with. others lat
ter on and had his musket been exam
ined after the battle was over it would
have been discovered that it had not
been once discharged.
"Ah, l am glad to see you, my brave
boy!!" said the lieutenant as Ike came
scufing into his tent. II want to COM
pliment and congratulate you on the
pluck and bravery you displayed in that
battle. I had my eye on you most OF
the time, ard T never saw a cooler man
in the face of danger
"Yo-yo' doan' mean it, lootenant!!'
gasped Ike, who fully realized that his
conduct was open to censure instead of
praise.
"Mean it? Of course l do! 1 am
proud to have such a brave man in the
