Who then was the traitor? Suspicion
pointed directly to the husband of TIM
woman. He was arrested, but moth
ing could be proved, and upon thu
most solemn reservations of Innocence
and oaths of loyalty, he was released
Again the treason was repeated,
second time our councils were pc
trayed and our plans bailled. Inc
whispers of the secret chamber were
bluted in the camp of the enemy
disaster and defeat still followed.
| Now we were convinced Of what we
had before suspected officers were i'm
mediately dispatched for the arrest OF
the traitor, but he could not be found;
| Upon investigation it was discovered
that this perfidious knave had fled to
| Canada and that his accomplice and
and immissary was the woman who
stood before us this morning who by
night in disguise had upon both oc-
casions carried her i'll gotten informal
ton into the camp Of the enemy.
Mr.. Stanton paused awhile in
thought remembering no doubt the
disheartening delays the unexpected
failures, the waste of money, above all
the suffering and death OF loyal men,
caused by this woman's treachery.
Presently he spoke again. Was my
answer 10 this woman too severe?'
No was the prompt reply, you
could not have said less.
At that moment another card was
brought in by the waiter. pale,
sad-eyed woman followed, whose
rusty, travel stained garments and
timid manner marked her as belonging

cent poor. Mr.. Stanton went forward,
greeted her in friendly manner and
offered her chair. She trembled, her
eyes filled with tears, as in d broken
voice she faltered, MIR. Secretary.

charge.
There WAS no need to examine the
credentials that confirmed this story |
evidently She had known sorrow. he
had walked with her, oft supped and
broke with her the ashen crust.
The contrast between this woman
and the one who preceded her, the di-
yersity in dress and manner. and
above all in the nature Of the errands,
was very striking One, assuming the
mask of humility, bowed low and
'raved the clemency Of the power she
mated and had striven to destroy; the
pther transparent in honest purpose,
odd her story so simply, that the favor
VAS granted almost before the request
sas made No magic spectacles were
to read these characters.
Without word Mr. Stanton took
blank, wrote the boys discharge

Who speechless with emotion hastily

monter
Coy. Smith $ official relations with
the secretary of war were always
very agreeable, and the acquaintance
thus formed, soon assumed a social
and confidential character. When Mr..
Smith went to the war department he
was often invited to leave the ante
room and await his turn in Mr. Stan
ton s private office. After business
matters were completed. they would
converse unon other subjects of mutual
interest. Upon one of these occasions
the servant brought in card which
Mr.. stanton glanced at aud in a
changed peremptory tone said. "Show
the person in !" \ lady Of quite i'm
posing appearance entered whose clc.
giant dress and easy manners indicated
thorough acquaintance with the Ell

What is your wish madam? ~ said
Mr. Stanton in a stern voice

deprecating tone, . come to i'm.
plore your ceemency in behalf of my
husband. He is as you know an exile
in Canada, and ! beg you to allow
him to return to his home.
Mr.. Stanton paused as if formulating
words for an answer, and then said in
a tone not to be misunderstood or
contravertcd - Yes madam, your hus
band may return ! am quite willing
he should do SO and as soon as he
crosses the Iine-I will hang him."
The lady bowed and retired and Mr..
Stanton turning to Mr.. Smith, said,
Did not my answer appear to you
very savagc?'
lie replied that 1T did seem IN
necessarily severe.
1T will not appear so, - said Mr.
Stanton, "whcn | tell you the story

GRANDPA'S GLASSES.

My grandpapa has to wear glasses,
Cause his eyesight is not very strong
And he calls them his "spects," and hes worn
them
For ever and ever so long.
And when he gets through with his reading
lie carefully puts them away,
And that's why have to help find them
Bout twenty five times in u day.
But at night when We sit round the table
And papa and mamma are there,
He reads just as long as he's able,
And then falls asleep in his chair.
And he Sits there and sleeps in his glasses
And you don't kIow how funny il seems;
But he says that he just has To wear them
To see things well in his dreams.

A Timely Reminder.

Each season forces upon our cohsidera-
tion its own peculiar perils to health.
The advent of fall finds many reduced
in strength and vigor, poorly prepared
to continue the business of life. The
stomach and bowels, the great highway
of animal economy, is especially liable
TO disorder in the fall. The nervous
system has also suffered in the struggle.
Typhoid fever and malariain in particular
find in thief that combination Of earth,
air and water that mark this season as
especially dangerous. The falling Leaves,
the decaying vegetables contribute their
share Of contamination. Hoods Sar-
saparilla furnishes most valuable safe
guard at these important points, and
should be used in the fall before serious
sickness has laid YOU low.
