CHAPTER X.-CoNTINUED.


As Frances hurried homeward
choking and sick with her sorrow
she found herself caught in the whirls
ard eddies of a great crowd and borne
along helplessly past her street. Men
carried torches and were cheering
themselves hoarse, while horns added
their din to the confusion. Upon
every hat were the red letters "M. :"
&c was a demonstration by the ia
ulous "Minute Men" who rose in
every southern city as they had risen
nearly 100 years before when the
drums beat. Suddenly she was
5ammed against a carriage, the prog
ress of which had been stayed by the
crowd. It's sole occupant was a pale,
silent man. In the glare of the
torches his face exactly filled lines
5udeiibly fixed in her memory by the
brief fame of a match; it was the
face of Richard Somers, cold and inn
mobile. Upon the seat by his side
was q traveling-bag; his eyes looked
cut calmly, almost coldly, over her
head. He was not southern, he was
not Virginian and the hour awoke
sJveIy, and forgetting, she stretched
her hands upward, but memory re-
turned and checked the words that
rose to her lips. Only an inarticulate
cry burst from them, a cry low and
half smothered in the roar of voices.
Vet low as it was, it reached the oc-
cupaHt OF the carriage. Something
"a. that voice tone, a vibration,
touched a memory-cell. He turned
quickly and looked back; a girl hold
Sng desperately to the arm of an old
negress was being borne along by the
suuultuous human wave. For an in
staat only he saw her white face up
turned to his-the loveliest. saddest
face his eyes had ever gazed on, and
from her lips he heard come back one
word
"Farewell!" Forgetting all but that
he was leaving his life somewhere in
the fierce passions surging behind him,
he made a desperate effort to alight
from fhe vehicle, but so dense was the
crowd the door would not open. And
chen angry men seized the rearing
horses and forced them out of the

figures seemed to march, met his gaze

PARDONED INDISCRETION.
MagnanimOus Act of the German SUI
perior Toward IA Gallant
Soldier.
Frances, my wife.
Richmond, April 18th, 1861
ITO Be Continued

The late Field Marshal Count Won
Blumenthal, of Germany, once com
mitted an indiscretion that came near
running his entire life. In July, 1866,
Blumenthal wrote letter to his wife
from the seat of war in Bohemia, and
handed it over to the military post of
flee staff. The mail was seized by the
Austrians, and Bluementhafs letter,
which contained severe structures on
Moltke, Prince Friedrich Karl and the
crown prince, was published in the
Niennese newspapers, says a London
exchange. The criticism of the crown
prince, accusing him of unpunctuality
was particularly grave. The Austri.
ans, in thus publishing the letter, were,
of course, acting within their rights.
But the publication fell like bomb
upon the Prussian headquarters. The
crown prince, however, showed no re-
sentiment against his chief of the staff,
and Moltlle also acted with great mag
nanimity. When the letter was
brought under his notice he remarked
that "a third party had nothing to do
with what a man writes to his wife"
But the third person mentioned in
the letter was not of this opinion.
Prince Friedrich Karl found the
newspaper containing the unfor-
tunate letter laid on his writing table.
Without saying a word he ordered his
horse to be saddled and rode to the
kings quarters with the newspaper in
his pocket. On his arrival there. he
learned that the king could not see
him Immediately, as the crown prince
was with him. Prince Friedrich Karl
waited long time in the ante-room.
At last the door of the kings room
opened and the crown prince stepped
out, flushed and excited, but beaming
with salts faction. AS soon as he saw
Prince Friedrich Karl he went to him
and said: 81 can give you some infor-
nation which you will doubtless hear
as gladly as | give it to you. The king
has pardoned Gen. Blumenthal the i'm
prudent letter which he wrote" To
which Prince Karl made a wry face,
put in his pocket the newspaper he had
held in his hand, and walked off with
the crown prince.

CHAPTER XI.

Sorrow unmixed with remorse is the
souls education. The soul of the
woman who grieves in silence broadens
sad deepens. sending down into her
avn life far-reaching roots and un-
folding upward rare auxiliary bios
rsoms that fill the life about her with
divine breathings. Such was the ex-
perience of Frances Brookin. Thrown
back upon herself, conscious of inno-
renee, and feeling always the presence
of sorrow, the sorrow of a great dis
sgpofntment, she saw her girlhood
Slipping away faster than time itself;
1dr ft is true that age is the sum of
experience rather than years, and all
os life may be lived between the set
ting and the rising of the sun. But
with Fraoces this change was not the
shrinking of the soul into forgetful-
ness it was an enlargement of view
and perspective in which old headlands
assumed smaller proportions. New
imperative duties they seemed, arose
aud met her; new responsibilities pre-
'seuted themselves; she faced them all
aravely, hopefully, lovingly. The fine
quality of her soul proved itself in the
casting out of all the bitterness which
had in the first hours of her misfor-
tune stormed its citadel and raised
zosa6er banners there. The victory
Hs~sz seIf won by this frail girl was so
EnzGselously complete that no cynicism
suprEznted her innocent faith in the
AheraaI existence of truth and good
uess and their ultimate triumph over
evil Her touching acceptance of life
Ia rs 1ew aspect was not born in
day There were weeks of anguish;
Gaere were months of dull heartache
&ud loneliness; there we're tear-wet
iPitSowsand nights of crying out against
Ezte; for the death OF an ideal is the
.saddest death in all the universe since
Gas this there is ne resurrection. The

Frances delighted to lavish the tender
ness of her nature, now broadened and
deepened by its own ministry; and
something touchingly human carried
her among them, although she was not
conscious of it.
For this had come to pass: within
the heart of Frances Brookin there
lived fiction, the Richard Somers of
her girlish dreams: Richard Somers as
she had seen him face to face one night
under the burning match, his voice
ringing strong and true and tender
upon her hearing. Before him, smut
ting him into the sanctity of her room,
she had dropped a veil of iridescent
gossamer, and within that room, seen
only through the veil, the man lived
and reigned and had his kingdom.
Through this veil, too, stirred by the
breath of the suffering and the dying
of his own country, he spoke gently,
tenderly to her in the lonely hours of
her vigiis. The other Richard had
been dismissed, not harshly or hastily,
not in anger, but sadly-a man un-
worthy; a man at war with the truth
and nobleness of her nature and at war
with her people. No one knows how
such fictions come about, but the
hearts of most women carry them.
And time had helped Frances, for
looking back she re-established many
vital facts that lessened the sadness of
memory; the man must once have been
noble-his deeds of mercy and gentle
ness proved that; innately noble he
must have been when she met him, for
in the face of great temptat tion he
had kept his promise to his friend, even
to the extent of shutting his eyes
against the girl whose arms had been
about him, whose lips breathed love for
him. And somewhere. despite all the

Queen Victoria always made it a
point to keep the religious instruc-
ton of her children as much as pos
sible in her own hands. Once when
the archdeaco. of London was cate

credit for instructing you so thor

| How roseate then grew life for the
| girl. He rememb bered! He had kept
her words with him night and day.
He loved her; he had told no false
hood for the value of her fathers
wealth. AS she stood by the wounded
soldier, his eyes resting in sympathy on
her, her own seeing nothing but the
face in that half-lit room where her
shrine was raised, all that was left
of resentment vanished out of her
heart. When afterward she realized
| this she was amazed and troubled
One federal soldier at least in all the
hosts that fell into confederate hands
had no cause to complain of his nurs-
| ing. A hospital stretcher bore him to
the home of Frances Brookin and into
her room. 1t was her whim, and the
stepmother was induiging her whims
/ in those days. There Frances and
nanny, with William as a helper and
Brodnar as an occasional adviser, law
| shed on him such care and atten ton as
he had never dreamed was possible, for
he was one of those homeless waits to
whom war had promised nothing but
excitement and change. 1t was all
mystery to him, but he questioned not.
He accepted the girls simple statement
as to Somers, and was content to let
the sun of his prosperity shine on.
One day when the soldier was able
to limp about the garden upon his
crutches and sit in the shade by the
plashing fountain to read in the Dis
| patch of the great battles being fought
around the endangered capital of the
confederacy, Frances, bearing the
highest testimonials from surgeons and
| hospital officials as to the conspicuous
and devoted service she had rendered
went to the executive mansion and Sc
cured admission to the presence of its
great chief. Mr.. Davis courteously
read her papers, and, looking into the
earnest face of the fair girl sitting be-
side him, gave graceful expression TO
