Ho1bin had heard of Frances latest whim, the union soldier. He had not interested himself in the latter's well fare, but he. made his appearance in the wingroom on the day after Louise had been pacifed, and. finding only nanny there with the wounded man, he entered and engaged him in cheer ful conversation. He gave him the latest news from the front, and sup piled him with cigars. Responding to these attentions, the soldier readily told his story. When the name of Rich ard Somers, his former enemy, was reached. Holbin was visibly excited. Still, not for one instant did it occur to him to connect the presence of the wounded man in that room with the fact that Somers was his captain; and the soldier himself naturally took it for granted that the cause of his pres ence was well understood by all.
 Frances found Holbin there, and stood silently resentful upon the threshold until he had explained his visit.
 "I am told by the clerk in the de- partment,'' he said, that you had secured pass for your protege. and l wss Iepentant that you had been forced to ge there in person. l have called now to offer my assistance. There is something else to be done TOT 3 wounded man besides getting him a pass. He must have transportation and assistance generally"
 Il have been thinking of that" she admitted, troubled.
 If l may be allowed to do wound ed enemy a service,' said Holbin, q shall take him in my buggy to our outposts."
 1T am sure that he will be greatly obliged" The soldier expressed him. gelf grateful, and Holbin went away, making light of the service and with out further effort to trespass upon the girls rare mood. On the inner stair he paused in deep thought, his dark face savagely triumphant. His moth CT met him in the hall above and read excitement in his every move ment.
 "What is it, Raymond?" He hesi- tated and smiled wickedly.
 II am afraid even you would be shocked, mother mine. But trust me, when l do tell yos about it, you will not be ashamed of your cub"
 Raymond. how dare you?" The woman's face grew crimson, and then white as from sudden terror. He showed his teeth and disappeared be- fore she could stop him. Angry and uneasy, she sought her own room.

 sons of the same caste to carry a t1ocpse.

 Holbin returned next day and gave vivid account of his parting with the happy prisoner: and then he i'm mediately sought his own room; but not before Frances, little ashamed of herself, had thanked him warmly for his kindness to her soldier.
 Upon the same day the confederate relief picket found a federal soldier lying dead within thei, lines. He had been shot from behind with pistol held so close to his coat that it was burned by the powder. The affair afforded but a few minutes discussion, fer the explosion of fire arms was almost incessant at times, and dead men in June, 1862, were plentiful around Richmond. The only part of the mystery worth consider ing from the military standpoint was how the man got through the lines at that particular place. A watch taken from his body con tained the names of Capt. Richard Somers and the regi- ment to which he was attached, and also the likeness of an elderly wom- an. It was surmised that the victim of the pistol shot was deserter and robber: that he had been captured and Killed while attempting violence or an escape. The officer into whose possession the watch drifted was in charge of a burial party next day un- der flag of truce, and, learningi that Capt Somers was among the troops opposite, sent the watch to him with a courteous explanation. The. grati- fcation of Capt.f Somers was, only equaled by his bewilderment. Many weeks before he had intrusted ,sthe jewel to his faithful artilleryman, and this soldier, he had been assured, was left dead upon the bloody battlefield. His conclusion was that some one had robbed the body at that time and had been overtalcen by fate while en-. gagged in some other nefarious enter prise. But when Capt. Somers cas- ually opened the locket and found Therein long, slender, curl of red diah-golden hair and on the narrow ribbon with which 1t was tied the ,saspe ssFtago E z 2 IT. tpyp,ye ip

CRENATED UNDER WRECK.
FIREMAN. PINNED BENEATH WRECKED
ENGINE. BURNED TO DEATH

Westfeld " j.. oct. 1.-Two freight trains,
one of them made up almost entirely of oil
tank cars. came together tonight near the
Baltimore and Ohio junction on the Central
Railroad OF New-Jersey. One man, fireman,
was caught under the wreck OF the engine and
was burned TO death in the FIRE which envel-
oped the wreck a moment after the crash.
1t was densely foggy at the time. The trains
were both bound eastward, and were running
as special freghts. This sent them on to spe-
cial tracks and they not, for the time,
controlled by the block signals. The forward
train came TO a stop for some reason. and the
one following crashed into its rear. The engi-
neer jumped, but the irem an jerry Harris
ter of Elizabeth, failed TO get clear and was
pinned down under the wreckage. Within sec
ond after the crash the wrecked oil tanks burst,
and the OIL taking fire from the fire box of the
wrecked engine. enveloped it and the fireman
in flame.
Twenty tanks in all We're destroyed The only
building freight house. This was
destroyed by fire. The Central Railroad officials
telegraphed to this place and TO Plainileld for
firemen and apparatus, The departments of
both cities sent aid. They reached the scene in
time to keep the fire from spreading to points
where it would have endangered other buildings
The wreck blocked all the four tracks of the
Central Railroad. those of the Baltimore ana
Ohio Railroad and the trolley line from Eliza
