Do sit up by the fire and talk with me,
May, dear. I've got fancy to tell you n
story about something that once happened
TO me. Generally speaking, we American
wcmen don't want to get confidential with
you English girls, somehow. You seem so
official; you kind of shut one up, as if one
were a coucertina. But you-you're differ
eni. From the moment / first saw you, L
felt like telling you almost anything, any
way.
It's Just about those Jewels of mine. Your
Poppa was talking of them. When he asked
me at dinner whether / wasn't afraid of ever
having them stolen, and l answered, oh,
my, no." you looked across at me quite
curious. And know l blushed. And you
wondered what / did it for. Well, that made
me want, somehow, to make clean breast
of il, and tell you all about my burglar.
1t was when was staying in the country
with Lady Cowperthwaite. Her husband
was in the Indian General way, fancy or
perhaps he was one of your Colonial Gov
ernors; | never can remember what each
particular person in your country gels
knlghted for. Anyway, Lady Cowperthwai'e
rs one OF those folks who advertise in the
Timos: " A lady of title, moving in the very
highest circles, would receive into her house
an American lady of good social position, as
n Paying Guest. References given and re-
quired. Address, in strict confidence, Lady
C., Jones's Governess Agency, 999 Piccadilly,
W." That's the sort of thing, you know.
She charges you 10 guineas a week for your
board, and introduces you for the change to
English society.
Well, was fresh from California then, and
everybody in England had heard that Poppa
was the richest man in the southern section

He seized my hand, took the jewel-box
ont of it, and-laid it back on the dressing
table.
Forgive me-" he said, very low but ear
nestly. "You didn't deserve it. l admit
you didn't. But do you really mean to say
you thought l was 10 take them"
"You came after them, you say?" an
swered.
"Oh, yes; came after them"
"Well, naturally. then, / thought you
wanted them. A gentleman doesn't try to
rob womans jewel-box unless he is in
strats-and / see you're gentleman"
Wanted them? Oh, yes; l wanted
them desperately" he cried. "But take
them-how could I? And you've behaved
SO wonderfully, so bravely, so generously"
"I guess you'll have to tell me now why
you wanted them so badly, then," said.
" Men don't generally require diamond
necklets for themselves. And as the nights
rather cold think Pll just trouble you to
shut down that window"
He shut it like lamb. 1 dropped in an
easy chair and motioned him to another one.
"Well, this is the oldest position" he
said.
nodded and smiled. "That's just what
like about it," answered. "That gives it

My fingers twitched. l couldn't bear to
see him grieved so.
"Look here" said "you'd better take
them, they'd set things all straight. guess
you've as good right to them as l have,
any way. My Poppa made his pile out of
gambling in silver mines. And they tell
me there are folks in California to-day who
are beggars just because my Poppa's rich !;

ways says, without another mans losing it.
He bought me these diamonds out of money

going to take them directly again from me.

you to take me in with your generous sOph-

diamonds, confess, and got clean off with
them if could; now, you make me wonder
how / could ever have been such vile,
wicked blackguard."
"Most likely" I answered, when it came
to the pinch, you wouldn't have taken them
at all. You're not that sort. You'd have
been struck with remorse and crept out
again quietly"
How good you are!" he cried, tears in
his eyes once more. Charity thinketh no
evil Well, you've taught me a lesson, and
/ mean to remember it. Henceforth -
and he rose as if he meant to leave me.
YOU'RE not going?" 1 said, quite anx-
iously, forgetting my costume; for he was
so nice-the incest man, my dear, I'd met
since came across to England.
"Yes, Pm going" he answered, in fixed
sort of way. "I ought to have gone half an
hour ago. For your sake, it would be wicked
of me to remain any longer. Just consider
how compromising if anyone were to find
me here!"

The total loss in killed and wounded

TO THE POWDER MAGAZINE.

What must have been the feelings of
this solitary soldier as he stood in this
dark charnel house where so many
wounded had died. The roof of sand,
eight feet thick, acted like a sponge TO
absorb be dampness of the sea air, and
now coHdensing, the moisture lets fall the
echoing drops on the board floor with a
wierd noise that suffices to make the
deathlike stiffness more palpable, Nature
weeping over this bloody and fratricidal
war. A cold chill thrills through the
veins and almost freezes up the heat of
life.

THE BLOODY GHOSTS

Of Shaw, Chatfield, Putnam, and Strong
arise TO come out Of the trenches on the
glacis, and seem to shrek for vengeance /;
the sitting fumes Of this subterranean
den have a loathsome air, smelling of
blood which oppresses and strangles the
breathing. The serried ranks Of those
slain on the 18th of July seemed to fit
like sheeted ghosts among the numerous
sturdy columns of huge pine trunks that
supported the heavy roofs. The bomb
proof was like vast vault, loathsome
with ill-yentilated air, smelling of blood,
of death, and of the tomb. Huguenin
says: The sight of the upturned faces
Of the dead lying about, and the terrible
solitude, all tended to make the moment
the most impressive one of my life"
He sets fire to the fuse, but Divine
Providence interferes, extinguishes the
slow-match, and the awful explosion Of
the powder-magazine and the lives Of
many men are saved.
A conflict so desperate and murder
Gus, and characterized by such indomi-
table valor on both sides, ranks the
defense Of Fort Wagner among the
sternest fights of the Secession or any
other war.
