istering to the needs of distressed con-
fedcrate soldiers, nothing could exceed
the loving assiduity with which all now
waited upon the household guests-who
had been battling, as they well knew,
in the interests of their own race.
"NIammy" Rose, the old family nurse,
aptly voiced the sentiments of the whole
staff when she said to Sylvia, that first
night: "Oh. Dress dc Lawd, honey, dot

For one whole week the young north
crncrs enjoyed the hospitality of their
southern friends, and during these happy
days it might have been noticed that
while Herbert generally paired off with
Sydney or Mrs. Temple in their walks
and boating excursions Fred Ainslic was
invariably found by the side of Sylvia
and, to judge by the bearing of the
singularly attractive pair no one could
have guessed that they had so lately
been sworn enemies.
May 22 and 23, there was held at
Washington grand review of the two
principal armics of the republic, and
very shortly thereafter 1.-THE boys in

to their homes, amid the grateful plaud-
its of their countrymen.
According to promise, Sydney Tenn
pie accompanied his old schoolfellows
on their homcward journey, which took
them first to Philadelphia, Herbert
Leslie, for some reason or other being
quite us anxious to visit Mrs. Ainslie as
was Fred himself. From an equally
unaccouutable motive, the goal of Col.
Temples desires seemed to be New
York, but he checrfully stayed for a
few days at-Fred's home and made the
acquaintance of his mother and sister,
who returned his own hospitality with
interest
Then he and Herbert. leaving their
friend to follow and resume his mercan-
tile life at leisure. went on to Gotham
and were received with rapturous de-
light by Mrs. Leslie, who insisted upon
her sons friend making her elegant
mansion his present home.
1t very strangely happened that when
the two young men arrived Miss Jennie
Glynu was spending the evening with
Mrs. leslie-a circumstance with which
both. and especially Sydney, seemed
rather pleased than otherwise, but, oil
course, only because it gave him an op
portuuity to see her safely home that
night and renew his acquaintance with
her mother!
