Jack stephens, also Of Chicago, is not so
much given that way and very often
can't see any fun in Bursts nonsense
during the war. and while Burst is about
hve feet six inches in hight, Stephens is
pretty close to six feet in his stockings.
Burst was on the Grand Army of the
Republic national pension committee for
several years, and his duties in that line
brought him to Washington frequently.
On one of his visits he registered at one
of the uptown hotels with his friend Ste
phens, and after transacting some bust

the boys they retired for the night, occu-

Bill Nye was the cynosure of bad eggs
so to speak, in the town of Paterson, N
j., the other night. The famous humor-
list was in a very funny condition when
he went upon the rostrum in a church,
to deliver a lecture under the auspices
of the young mems class of the church.
The audience bore with him as long as he
was in the church edifice, but when he
went out to take the train they pelted
him with eggs and decayed vegetables
until the train pulled out. Some of the
missiles sent after the humorist were
all too accurately aimed, and extended
themselves over his clothes but he was
in such a good humor with himself that
he did not mind the plastering with bad
eggs and decayed turnips, but tumbled
into scat in the car and slept the
sleep the sleep of the booty. 1t is said
he occupied seat by himself, and in
fact could have had all of the seats with
in ten feet of himself if he had been so
disposed.

The picture Of this young border
princess was indelibly stamped upon
the hearts Of several of the younger
officers OF the garrison, yet none OF
them were suitors for her hand. They
knew how her father idolized her and
held her as q precious jewel set in his
crown Of life for him alone, and each
one felt that it would be almost sacri- !
1ege to attempt to pluck the gem from
its parent setting and transfer it to an
other. She. had, seemingly, no espe-
cial favorite among the young men OF
the post. The same sweet smile which
would set the heart Of a young officer
throbbing with delight would illunine
her pretty features while bending over
the cot of sick soldier in the hospital,
or while thanking the humblest phi
vate who had done her a favor She
treated all alike, and came to be looked
upon rs treasure which all might adj
n1ire but none need. ever hope to pos
sess-a devoted child whose father so
filled every nook of her pure heart that
there was no room there for another.
One lovely morning in the month Of
September, 1866, while returning from
gallop down the valley Of the Rio
Grande, Miss Sanford rode up gulch
j onto the mesa about a mile below the
fort As she came out upon the higher
ground she observed young soldier
sitting upon rock near the trail bnsily
engaged in sketching. She was. her
self clever artist and passionately
fond Of drawing from nature, and her
interest in the soldier was at once
aroused. He had not noticed her APP
proach, SO deeply interested was he in
his work, and she refined in her pony q
few yards distant from where he sat to
study him. There was pleased ex-
preston on her face when she noted
that he was handsome young man
with frank, honest face, neat and
tidy in dress, and wearing an air Of in

CHAPTER u.


The soldier artist resumed his seat as
Alice rode away, and sat, and watched
her until a bend in the trail hid her
from his eyes. He had often seen the
young girl at distance and had ad-
nired her graceful figure and light,
springy step, but had never before had
an opportunity to closely observe her
face. AS she sat on her pony bowed
over his sketch he had studied her
features, and he thought he had never
seen so beautiful girl. Her sunny
disposition flashed softly from her
laughing blue eyes, and the lingering
echoes Of her low, sweet voice re-
sounded in his ears in pleasing melody
long after s.-e had gone.
Il There was marked stir in the So
cial circles of the garrison when an

vanished at rebuking Thought.

..Those clear eyes of his mirrored q

with those who Turk in the shadow Of

SO handsome man, ind one SO intelli-

Thus she mused until she reached
her home. Throwing the rein to the
orderly in waiting she softly entered
her fathers sitting-room and awolSe
him from the half sleep into which he
had fallen in his easy chair by feath-

asked if l might look at his sketch

that he was an artist Of no ordinary
