AS was talking with an old colored
blacksmith In front of his cabin at Chick
amauga u couple Of small boys drove up
with mule and cart and began to dump
out at the blacksmith shop II lot of stuff
picked up on the battlefield. There were
bullets, buckles, stirrups belt plates, mus
ket barrels rusty swords and bayonots
and in the lot was u loaded shell which
had been fired from heavy feldpicco
When the old man saw the shell, he said
"Iou git out wild dat yere foolishncssl
Didn't l dun tole you not to bring any

Ono of the boys threw tho shell aside,
and then the old man went with me down
the road to point out some sights of inter
est. We were gone about half an hour
and were within 100 feet Of the shop, when
there was a loud explosion. A great hole
was blown out of ono side and part Of
the roof was bulged up, and the two boys
came stumbling out through the smoke
and ran against us. Tho old man grabbed
one by the arm and whirled him around
and demanded;
Didn't dun tolo ye to let dat foolish

"Shc's 'splodcd!' gasped the boy

And he drew him to shade tree, broke
off a limb and tanned his jacket till the
boy yelled murder Then we entered the
shop and found it almost u wreck The
boys had placed the shell on an anvil and
struck it with the sledge, and the anvil had
been blown ten feet away. Miraculous as
it may seem, neither boy was injured in
the slightest.

flower beds on either side the well-kept

surpassed her fondest dream Of impos-
ing completeness. The striped yellow
awnings over all the windows on the

flowed with bloom; the verandas yield
ing glimpses of chairs and couches and
tall palms; and above all the flowers
and plants massed in every angle where
they could be placed in exterior dccora-
tion-scemed to Felicia incredibly en-
chanting. AS she sprang out of the
trap and looked around her. catching a
distant vista of blue sea at the end of a
reach of velvet sward, she was dazed
with excitement. She forgot that she
had been left standing there alone; and
her first fall from the clouds was caused
by the too easy manner and language OF
lady's maid who came TO escort her to
her room.
Felicia had nothing to complain of in
eXternals. certainly. 'rhe room that
was assigned to her, all white-and-rose
and green-stained furniture, with n
window looking upon the sea, was de-
lightfully cool and tempting. Tea was
served to her there, her little trunk was
brought in and unstrapped and upon
the table she found book or two,
should she wish to pass her time other
wise than by looking out of the flower
framed shaded window. But by and by
Il sense of loneliness set in, and to ban
it she stole out for walk about the
grounds.
Gazing from shaded bench upon
the cliff over the sea an infinite peace
fell upon her spirit. How long she had
sat there she did not know, until she be-
came conscious that u young man in
summer flannels had come along the
pnth leading to her cyrie, and was
searching for something he had lost.
II beg your pardon" he said, taking
off his hat; Il did not know anyone had
succeeded me in my iavorte haunts."
"Iou are looking for this?" she said,
holding out little compass of gold and
crystal she had picked up, then for
gotten.
Eyes. thank you. II represents the
economies of my small sister who sent
IT to me for birthday gift to-day" he
said, taking the triflc from her finger
tips. Il suppose you have just come,
and have not yet seen our hostess"
Checred by his cordial tone, Felicia
answered ms girls of her race and

lcssly, smiles playing around her rosy
lips and in her friendly eyes; and AZ

versation that proved, apparently. Ms

"To tell the truth. have found moth
ing but good in her" went on the lady,
"And now l think she is lucky as well as
good"
Thus Felicias episode as bread
winner in the circles of high society was
shortened in the fashion, varied, but
substantially the same, in all ages.
Soon after the memorable dinner, her
letters to her mother began to be in
fused with spirit that made that good
lady wonder and rejoice. And, shortly
after that, Mrs. Charlton and the Ken
nards were surprised by visit from a
gentleman, introduced through Il letter
from Mrs. Caldwell, that left them no
room to doubt of his right to cordial
reception.
In the autumn of that year, Mrs. Cald-
well lost her secretary.

satisfaction, that many approving
Slances were cast by the other men
present upon his charming little part
ner; for Felicia, forgetting her woes,
arose to the occasion royalty. Her color
deepcned, her eyes grew starry, her ami
nation was irresistible to look upon
and to share in. The man on her other
side, a maker of opinions in Newport,
even turned his back upon the CONVERSE
ton of Mrs. Mammon to enjoy this de-
lightfuly fresh and sparkling little new
girl whom Mrs. Caldwell had been 80
clever as to discover.
From exultant satisfaction, Mr.. Dun
can Moore retired more than once into
the silks when he found her attention
as freely bestowed upon her other
neighbor as upon himself. Then, each
time Felicia returned to him, he was re-
newed inhope.

Maud at school as kind, chattering,
but somewhat dense creature. had mo-
mcnt's hesitation about trusting to the
Judgment of her friend. But all night
long her dreams were roscate. A stu
alton as secretary, with salary that

lion, to breathe fresh. delicious at

to he true.
\ few days later note arrived from
Maud Branham, asking Felicia to lunch
con the next day; and when Felicia pre-
scented herself as desired. no time was
lost by the young lnatron in commune
eating her great news. Sally Caldwell
