CHAPTER VIII.

| When l again passed the depot al
Sidington on my way home, there was
q lady on horseback talking to the
agent.
1t needed no second glance to tell me
it was Florence Morley. Her face was
turned toward the fellow, and SO she
did not see me. I drove along slowly
keeping my eyes upon her. and debat-
ing in my mind whether should stop
and address her or not.
1t was strong temptation. and only

The resolve to stick to my promise
was growing weaker since Sarah's COM
ment upon 1t. A word from Florence, I
knew, would cause me to break it, and
really was impatient for that word.
Soon the sound Of approaching hoofs
beating the hard road reached me.
Nearer it came and nearer. until finally
I caught glimpse, ont of the corner
OF my eye. Of a swayiny petticoat.
She pulled in her horse to q walk,
aad then turned my head and glanced
ut her. Ny heart was In my throat
when I looked, but the smile that greet
ed me dispclled my fears like mist be-
fore the morning sun.
But the smile was not all that told
me Of her emotion at again meeting me.

CAMP THOMAS, Chickamauga, Ca,
Aug. 2.-(Special.) - The Minnesota
troops are finally resigned to their
fate" as they designate their failure
to get to the front before the declara-
ton of peace. There is not a man in
camp but would prefer today to re-
ceive orders TO the front, but the grum-
bling that was heard each succeeding
day for quite a period is lacking, and
the more thoughtful are arguing with
the enthusiasts that the declaration of
peace within three months after the
beginning of hostilities is honor sutii-
cient for the American arms.
There will be one gala day in camp
perhaps tomorrow. 1t will be ushered
in by the arrival of paymasters, who
will gladden. the hearts of the troops
with money that is much needed by
many. Then there is the expedition

cherish the hope that they will be

A squad of Maj. Wilkinsons recruits
for the Third regiment of the regular
army, formerly stationed at Fort
Smelling, were sent South to Fort Nc
Pherson, Ga, last night, with the good
wishes of the women of ST. Paul, who
rendered them a reception before they
took their departure.
Shortly after the men assembled in
the rooms of the Commercial club.
where they sat down to a supper given
by a committee of ladies and the club.
President Condo Hamlin of the Com
mercial club, oficiated as master of
ceremonies. After neat address, he
introduced John w. Lane, who spoke
a few words of a complimentary ma
ture to the departing soldiers. There
was, he said, no regiment In the army
which bore prouder record than the
Third, and her men had proved them
selves to be noble, brave and true.
Mrs. Waters, in behalf of the ladies,
also gave the boys a departing word
of cheer.
Maj. Wilkinson, who is stationed in
the city recruiting for the Third, next
spoke to the men. He congratulated
the men on becoming members of the
old TLrd, and gave a bit of advice
as to army life, in closing.

One of the most unique and imposing drill
exercises that has yet taken place at Camp

this afternoon. 1t was the transportation drill
