CHAPTER XVI.

Presently they knew that no firing
threatened them. All ways seemed
once more opened to them. The dusty
blue lines of their friends were dis
closed a short distance away. In the dis
tance there were many colossal noises,
but in all this part of the field there
was sudden stiffness.
They perceived that they were free.
The depleted band drew long breath
of relief and gathered itself into a
bunch to complete its trip.
In this last length of journey, the
men began to show strange emotions.
They hurried with nervous fear. Some
who had been dark and unfaltering in
the grimest moments now could not
conceal an anxiety that made them
frantic. 1t was, perhaps, that they
dreaded to be killed in insignificant
ways after the time for proper military
deaths had passed, Or, perhaps, they
thought it would be too ironical to get
killed at the portals of safety. With
backward looks of perturbation they
hastcned
They turned, when they arrived at
their old position, TO regard the ground
over which they had charged.
The youth, in this contemplation,
was smitten with n large astonish-
mcnt. He discovered that the dis
tanccs, as compared with the brilliant
measurings of his mind, were trivial
and ridiculous. The stolid trees, where
much had taken place, seemed incrcdi-
bly, near. The time, too now that he
reflected, he saw to have been short.
He wondered at the number of emotions
and events that had been crowded into
such little spaces, Elfin thoughts must
have exaggerated and enlarged every
thing, he said.
The men were gulping at their can
teens, fierce to wiring every mite of water
from them. And they polished at their
swollen and watcry features with coat
sleeves and lunches of grass. How
ever, to the youth there was a consid-
able joy in musing upon his perform
anccs during the charge. He had had
very little time, previously, in which to
appreciate himself, so that there was
now much satisfaction in quietly think
ing of his actions. He recalled bits OF
color that in the furry had stamped

The Newly Made Husband Not Yet
Accustomed to Think OF Two.
The wife Of a weIl-know New Yorker
told the Tribune man about an incident
of her wedding trip the other evening
as illustrating the forgetfulness Of
man who has only recently abandoned
selfish Dictatorship They had only
Just begun their bridal journey. On
that afternoon the train left the track
and began to bump along the ties. It
happened at that moment that the
newly made husband was walking
down the aisle Of the car away from the
seat where the bride sat. He knew
that knew that part of the railroad
very well, and he was terrified at hay
ing the train leave the track there,
for they were upon a bend on a steep
and lofty embankment. With thought
of nothing but the peril which threaten
ed the train he dashed madly for the
door. He was on the platform already,
careening and waving, and in another
instant he would have leaped, when,
unconseiously looking back at the dan
ger he was leaving he saw his wife,
Instantly he turned and dashed back
into the car. He was just In the nick
Of time to reach his wife, for already
the car was lettering.
Hold on for your lifeP he cried to
her. I'VE are going headlong over the
bend"
He had fallen in the aisle at her side
and. cIinging to the seat, he held his
wife.
Hold on for your life" he cried
again. "fOr we are going OVer!'
And they Gid go over several times,
and though the bridal couple were
cut and bruised terribly, they were
more fortunate than many others, for
the death list was a. long one.
But my husband" she said, in tell
ing the story, could not seem TO for
give himself for having forgotten me
for a second, while I could understand
it perfectly. He wasn't used to looking
after wife, and if you want to know
the truth" she added with asmile. Il
was glad that it all happened as it
did, for I don't believe that any man
who was caught in danger with his
wife would desert her. but it takes a
brave man who has got out Of danger
to go deliberately back into it. He
knew that danger better than anyone
else in the car, I suppose, and he must
have felt that we were both lost. Yet
he came back to me. and that was
how I learned, on our wedding day,
that my husband. if be was fOrgetful,
was also brave"

The Voice.

This man with a husky voice is never
sanguine. He is a pessimist, and
gazes with unexpected syss at the
progress Of events. Quick, sharply
defined tones denote the energetic
man, the originator of projects. They
characterize the man of the world,
the man of action, not of thought
The slow and hesitating speaker is
rarely quick in action. His mental
processes are tardy, though the pro-
duets may be of permanent value
Indecision Is his chief defect, and he
is never guilty of energetic resolve.
The man of great intellect aud good
heart has usually rich and pleasing
voice. In ordinary conversation it is
low toned, serene and distinct In
the heat of friendly debate it rolls
forth in loud but harmonious vibra-
tious.

she shook her fingers IN Grace's Hyid
face.
BE gonel she said, hoarsely. Hew
dare you profane the presence Of the
desdY' and Grace Denison, her face
flushing hotly, only stood sttl and
thought a second and then went meek
" from her presence.
But in that momentary hesitation her
plan Of mercy was conceived. With
the dead girls face stu bvidly before
her eyes, she hurried TO where they
were keeping her husband. At FIRST
when she saw him he was still the man
she loved, the man whose name she
bore and whose slightest wish it was
her only Joy to pamper. There were
tears in her eyes, tears In her voice
and tears In her heart wnen she asked
Of him the fatal question.
Charlie" she whispered fondly,
"sWear TO me it is not true, this hide
Ous story that they tell about you.
Tell me that I am stu your wife, that
You love me and that all this other
fiendish thing is but the wild coneeQ-
ton Of our tattling neighbors. Tel
me" she began again, but stopped
as she saw his guilty features.
There was fear In his eyes and guilt IN
his soul as he rose ut last and tried to
face her.
'It is all quite true" he said eau
tiously. "She was my mistress and I
killed her in a fit Of passion. ] have
wronged you and I have got TO die,
unless you forgive me and VIII try
to save me"
With a mighty scorR sinking In her
heart Grace Denison turned upon her
heel and left him there.
'Diew she muttered hoersely as she
walked away. Death is too good for
such as you, and it is what you have
given your innocent victim"
Then when she was alone once mere
she began to think about the future.
What was there left when love was
gone, what happiness could Soothe her
sorTow? To die was peace and blessed
rest, to live meant fierce, perpetual an
guish
Why should she be the only one to
live-she the most innocent Of the
three, so far as the opinion Of the
world was concerned. 1t was almost
more than she could bear, this looking
forward to her future.
She hurried back to her home, shun-
ming her neighbOrs on the way and half
afraid Of harmless strangers. Once
inside the door she pulled the ring
from her finger and threw It in a dis
tant corner, then jerking the Bible
from its place she tore to shreds that
precious page that proved her sacred,
legal marriage.
1t had occurred to her that in that
distant city no one would know the
truth and she might save the dead
girls name even at the price Of her
own sweet honor.
Was 1t not her place to undo her
husbands evil deeds, and make good
mis- theft Of a woman's reputation?
It was the victims mother that had
put it into her head, the fact Of her
having been taken for the guilty mis-
trpss.
To decide, was to act, and stil silent,
still soTOwtul, but brave in heart, she
left her happy home forever.
Two days later her husband was set
free. Grace DenisOn had sworn that
through Jealousy she did the wicked
deed and then sat meekly In her cell,
waiting with some impotence for the
fatal day which should bring oblivion
to her and condemn the man to per.
