just Before the Battle.

Just before a battle a person expert
enceS peculiar sensation. You don't
think very much about it until few
minutes before, and then it occupies
your entire attention. Your heart
seems to get into your throat and choke
you; your knees appear to be weak,
and every imaginary thought runs
helter-skelter through your mind. You
hope that you will get through the bat
tie all right but you are afraid you
won't. You wouldn't think about
turning back, but you hate to advance.
You know you are excited, but you try
to appear cool. | don't know whether
everyone has the same sensations l do
or not, but l will guarantee that those
who talk the bravest when we get
! home are those who needed felt shoes
to keep their feet warm. | have heard
old soldiers say that after they had
| been in a number of battles they didn't
dread to go into another. | have talked
to a representative number of soldiers
in the Philippines, and they say the
more battles they go into the more they
dread them. Now, some Of the old sol
diers are made out of different stuE
from us, or they haven't the moral
courage to tell the truth. 1t isn't with
| in my province to decide this question:
but have strong opinions about it. OF
course, if in after years should choose
to tell a different tale, what l have
written here doesn't count. When the
boys of Company D find out what
have written l will be severely criti-
cised. but you can bank on it that what
have written is the truth.-Private

versar1on with open display OF maps, let
tiers and valuable papers on the table be-
tween them. The arrest was made with
quiet dispatch.
Another low-spoken order, command
for forward march and the two COM
panies moved on. Not long after, Gen.
Washington took final leave of Sylvia and
her friends. With a last rousing cheer
for the heroine of the night and her val
orous young brother, they were left to
make the remainder of their journey un.
attended save by Mr.. Leland and Dave.
'And now, at last, may tell you that
I, too, am proud of you, Sylvia" the lat
fore, verify believe"
SIT was very fine and stirred my heart,
but I cannot yet understand why they
gave me so much praise. There was no
danger in what did, Any girl would have
done the same"
NAY, now, my child" said her father,
"every girl has not your quick eagerness
to act as the moment requires. You are
rightfully entitled to ali the commenda-
ton you have received, and you need not
disclaim it. 1t is a glad, thankful heart
I am carrying home to your mother to-
day, and hers will be filled with rejoicing
in our dear daughter
Sylvia leaned over toward him and said,
softly:
II care more for your praise than for
all the rest
He answered her with a smile, but his
thoughts were with the child so like, yet
so unlike, this one, equally fearless, equal
ly determined, but so sadly mistaken as
to her duty.
Come, Joseph" he called to the lad
tagging behind, 1--WE will ride on ahead and
tell mother the good news of your safe
arrival home"
The old white mare, urged by her riders
digging, pink heels, did her best to keep
pace with Mr.. Lelands spirited chestnut,
and Dave, after much not over-patient
waiting, found his opportunity for chat
with Sylvia.
It was but a few days afterward that
Dave rode again to Lexington from the
camp. This time he brought letter to
Sylvia. 1t was from Gen. Washington,
and read as follows:
Headquarters American Army,
Sept. "a, 1875.
10 MISTRESS sylvia Lelanu, Lexington:
Honored Madam-It will undoubtedly
be a satisfaction to you to know that the
service you rendered to the colonial cause
on the night of Sept. u is more important
than even then appeared. In addition to
the apprehension and capture Of two dam
gerous men, papers have been found in
their possession whose delivering to the
enemy would have wrought incalculable
damage to our efforts to secure our liber-
ties. Both Capt. Randolph and his, young
companion are in close Imprisonment and
will remain there for the present.
Permit me, most modest, admirable and
devoted daughter of this colony, to again
tender you my personal, heartfelt graft
tude for your unhesitating readiness to do

softly rufied around her forehead by the
lresn morning breeze. Her large hazel
eyes danced with pleasure. She had a
bright word Of recognition for many Of her
nelghbors, and now and then a laughing
aside for Dave, whose pride in his little
friend was unbounded.
She was the same artless, outspoken
girl he had left behind him in the sad DAYS
or the summer, and yet he could see that
she was grown more womanly. The new
responsibilities of her life were develop
ing the maturer graces of character with
out robbing her of maidenhoods innocent
charm. He had as yet found no time for
word alone with her, and he felt keen
disappointment when, soon after break
fast, the horses were brought around for
the homeward ride.
But her father said to hin:
Saddle your horse, too Dave. | have
here permit for you to accompany us to
Lexington for the day"
"'Twas kind indeed for you to think of
that. Mr.. Leland" cried Dave, reading
the bit of paper with the coveted sigma
ture. &c. Washington"
This has been a heavy night for your
mother. The sight of you will be her best
comfort. Besides but at this mo-
ment Sylvia came out of the tent and he
did not finish the sentence.
Little Joseph, feeling himself man
now fully grown by reason of his tour
about the camp under the care of half
dozen gunners, heard the sound of drum
and fife, as he waved his cap in farewell
greeting but neither he nor Sylvia dream.
ed that they were to be escorted for the
first mile of their journey by a hundred
men. The whole camp was drawn up in
two lines between which they passed, with
cheer after cheer ringing out right heart
lily. Sylvia blushed and bowed and smil-
ed, sitting proudly erect in her saddle.
'See, Sylvia, the soldiers are coming,
too," exclaimed little Joseph looking back
when they reached the open road. She
turned just in time to see an imposing fig
ure in handsome uniform on a fine charg-
err gallop toward them. Before she could
ask her father the question that was on

her lips, he was at her side. No need to
ask, then, whose the bcnignant face, the
grave, courteous demeanor, the melodious
voice She had heard and seen them both
the night before.
"Good-mornng, my little Maiden he
said smiling Il should perhaps have
asked your permission that l and a few
of your old neighbors ride with you for
some part of the way to your home. |
hope YOU slept we'll in our rough camp.
MY thoughts had too much to keep
them busy, sir. And them she added
after the least bit of hesitation, Il couldn't
help wishing that our brave soldiers need
not have TO lie on such hard BEDS"
She heard his laugh of amusement, and
saw her father smiling, but no one noticed
little Joseph's glance of disapproval.
Ills not mannerly to say so, Sylvia,
he declared, quite loudly, to the surprise
of ALL Il found not my fathers pallet
hard. Girls are not made to be soldiers.
Again the generals rare laugh rang
out.
In truth. good SIR" he began, address
ing Timothy Leland, you have a son
who but his attention. and that of the
entire company, was here attracted to a
body of men upon whom they came alb
ruptly at a turn in the road.
IF | mistake not" he said, in a low
tone to Sylvia, you are about to see
again my smooth tongued fellow-colonist
from Virginia"
He wheeled his horse and gave a quick
order. AS if by magic the escort was
drawn up in single line at one side of the
road, just behind Gen. Washington. Syl-
via and her party. The fife and drum
played the "Rogue's March, and all wait
ed the oncoming party of twenty mounted
men. with the four prisoners in their
midst.
Sylvia saw Capt. Randolph, who did not
raise his eyes, Harry Read and two 9th
ers whom she rightly supposed to be those
she had met on her way to camp. Sur
prise and dismay were plainly to be read
on Harry Reads handsome face as he rec
ognized Gen. Washington. Involuntarily
his hand went to his cap in salute. When
his eye fell on Sylvia he blushed to the
roots of his hair.
At signal from the commander-in-chief
the party halted.
Step forward" he said to the officer
in charge, land relate to this young lady

lawn. Such gowns of dotted pique are
very pretty and useful, and are made up
as carefully and as deliberately as silk.
This years fashions give general and
strong Endorsement for the gown compos-
ed of a skirt and bodice definitely harmon
izing. The princess and polonaise also
prevail, so that a costume with contrast
ing bodice is not a wise selection. To be
sure, women wear pique skirts and con-
trasting shirt waists, or a crash or denim
skirt and short waists that do match, but
1t is Just as we'll to have a bodice made
to 60 with the skirt that you intend for
wear with shirt waists. Nor is there the
slightest need in such planning Of being
confined to absolute severity. The next
gown of those shown here suggests the
possibilities in this direction. Its goods

WIND CITY is GONE.
Scourge of Scurvy DeDopulates an
Alaskan Mining Settlement.

Alaskan Mining Settlement.
The news was brought to Seattle,
Wash, by the steamer City of Topeka
that Wind City, on the Wind river, the
third south branch of the Peel, was
scurvy camp during the winter, and that
a score of miners have persisted. 1t was
late in January when the last report was
received from the pest camp by miners
crossing the Rocky Mountains on the
way to Dawson. These finally got
through with the news. They did not
have list of the dead but the following
were not expected to live when the mes
senger left: DR.. J. B. Mason, Chicago;
w. G. Ouch, San Francisco; DR.. Martin,
dentist, Chicago; Edward Harris, --
Mitchell.
All were very sick with the dread arc
tic disease. Harris had to have a leg
amputated from freezing, and Mitchell
was suffering from a broken leg. The
miners were the only ones left in Wind
City. They sent out an Indian to secure
assistance. He said the men were unable
to care for themselves, and that none ex
pected to live.
Wind City was started last september,
when about seventy-ive miners who had
been trying to reach Dawson over the
Edmonton trail gathered there and built
winter quarters. A number of substan-
tial cabins went up, and when winter
settled down Wind City became lively
place The whirl of social affairs was
varied and interesting. For four months
the miners at Wind City had just as good
a time as the miners in any other part Of
Alaska. Nothing went seriously wrong
until one morning several of the miners
were struck down with the scurvy. They
were followed by several others. The
pestilence seemed to strike the camp all
at once. Soon half of the seventy-fve
people there were stricken with the dis
ease. Then came the undoing of "

cabins over to the less fortunate Wfn
words of good cheer all round, parties set
off, one by one, over the snow and ice.
Death helped to depopulate Wind City
The scurvy seemed to be particularly
fatal. The medicine which Mr.. Mason
had was soon exhausted and when he
was stricken down himself he had moth
ing left to take. There were no vepeta
bles in the camp and no source from
which fresh ones could be secured. There
is graveyard at Wind City where the
bodies Of fifteen or twenty men lie in
testimony of the terrible price some had
to pay for gold. In the outlying cabins
several dead men have nothing but frozen
blankets for their collins They died af-
ter all the well men left the camn and
there is no one to bury them.

down with black. This same skirt will
be excellent wear with a shirt waist, yet
the gown as shown is quite as dressy as
anything one could reasonably expect
from it's materials.
Crash is almost ideal wear for summer,
and in common with other inexpensive
weaves is this year made up deliberately.
Last years fancy for trimming one sort
of wash goods with another still holds,
and crash benefits by the practice. The
most fashionable trimming for it is white
piQue, which is seen nowadays even on
cloth, where it does not seem out of place
as one might think. The crash dress in
this picture was the last of the three.
Both bodice and skirt had overlapping
bands of the pique, and with the inevita-
BILE yoke of white-tiny frills of null, this
time-the specifications are complete.
The round waist is very pretty, and
women have learned to dip the belt, to
narrow the bodice fullness and to dip the
back so that the round of the waist APP
pears tiny and the torso is much length
ened. All this, when height is restored
by train, is good, but it needs a hand
some figure. The average woman looks
better in a gown that allows q straight
line from the bust to below the waist, and
jackets cut round and short at the back,
with fronts extended in a pair of pointed
tabs, are very becoming because they
meet this requirement Then SO many Of
the other sorts of suits are worn-many
of them by women to whom they are not
we'll suited-that such a jacket is sure to
distinguish it's wearer. The suit Of this
order that the artist shows in the next il
Illustration was in electric blue poplin. The
trimming of its skirt suggested the polo
naise lines at the sides, while at the back
the severity Of the hip fit was modified
by the application of further fiat bands.
White ribbon slipped under black net was
used for the banding. The inside of such
jacket tabs are preferably trimmed to cor

coed that Of extremely low cut-outs to
evening gowns. In this specification the
gown sketched here was not immoderate.
1t was a green and white striped or
candle, with yoke of wash renaissance.
Its trick Of carrying the top ruffles of the
bodice under the arm was clever one.
It is always a difficult matter to fit a
summer gown we'll under the arms, be-
cause it will not do to have it cut too
closely.
Where the figure spreads upward nat
urally and gracefully a becoming empha-
sis may be given to the fact in the dispo
sition Of the fat trimmings so popular
now. The second of these pictured
dresses will point this. 1t was found in
pique of white ground and blue raised
dots, and was trimmed with bands of en-
broidered lawn. The collar revers of
lawn embroidered in blue to match the
bands, showed dicky of tucked white

respond with the outside. The front Of
white null was set on a fiat yoke of white
silk. A gown of this sort is suitable for
the street in town or at any seaside re-
sort, will be all right for an afternoon at
country club and is entirely suitable for
driving, though the woman who handles
the reins would better have something
more horsey.
Any woman who gets the idea that a
dress Of cheap material cannot be SO made
as to be pretty, and young women get
such ideas at times, makes a mistake.
Look at the middle one of these three
dresses, know that it was in print of
shell pink ground and darker pink figures,
with all-over wash lace for trimming, and
understand how complete that mistake is.
Lace of sorts suitable for such use comes
ridculously cheap and the pink muslin
for sash, yoke and frills was all the other
trimming needed. The costume remain

ing is illustrative of today's form of the
fancy waist and plain skirt get-up. the
skirt being double but free of trimming
the bodice ornate with lace velvet ribbon
and tucking. Gray sacking was the dress
material. All-oyer lace is used a great
deal in cut and applied shaped pieces. A
bodice belt of such lace, narrow at the
back and shaped at the sides, will give
jacket outline to bodice, creating tbo
little dip below the waist that is so he

Black ribbon velvet is a great deal used
on wash dresses. Double skirts are not
as popular as it seemed they were
going to be, but this one is among the
popular designs. The underskirt extend
ed only a little above the shortest point
of the overdress and was set on a sham
skirt of thin lawn.
