Miss Morton spent the day With her

Miss Morton spent the day with her
| friend. Il
Nothing had been heard from the ad-
LIutant. Miss Stella had asked him to
come 20 her and he had not come. That
was nearly two days ago and he had
not even answered. She had been, so
continent that upon receipt Of her mes
sage, day or night he would hasten TO
her side as fast as his speediest horse
could carry him. His silence troubled
her, palpably to the detriment Of her
health. She did not doubt his con-
stancy but feared for his person.
There was no telling what had befallen
| him. - ,,
After discussing the matter with Miss
Morton she photographed to Lieutenant
Doyle inquiring for the adjutant. That
message, too, remained unanswered.
The next day, however, cap1e 4 mes
| sage from the adjutant: - ;a-s,s.
Have been absent; Doyle with me.
This moment returned and for first
| time in four days see newspaper.

Last train gone till afternoon; come
IN saddle forthwith. God be praised
for your safety
In less than two hours after the re-
ceipt of the dispatch the adjutant gal
| loped up to the gate and Miss Stella
was standing there to welcome him.
There, at the gate, in the. sight Of all
| who chose to. see she 'iparalyZed pro-
| priety," as she afterwards declared,
| by throwing her arms about his neck
and kissing him over and over and
] over. ,s'
Together the lovers entered the
I house and went into the drawing room
whence the assembled family had Wit
lessed the scene at the gate. Standing
lust within the threshold Of the room,
Miss Stella's arm drawn within his
own, the adjutant said:
Miss Stella and / will be married
his evening; we would rather be mar
led here, at her home, in. the presence
