mers and lot OF us boys Gladys was
looking so perfectly ravishing. II she
did wear homespun dress, that I'd
been plotting for an hour to get her
out on the veranda to myself Just
as | had succeeded, and was in the
seventh heaven. my dream of ..iss was
rudely disturbed by Pete, Col. Bas-
CONS body servant. rushing across the
lawn and crying out:
" Git in de house, Miss Gladys, fuh
de Lawd's sake! De Yankees am a

II hadn't said a word that wosld
bind Gladys to me, or me to her; and
this was no time for wordy proposals.

diamond-studded gift from my mothar,
and slipped It in her hand. III | am
killed 1t is yours-if live 1t is ours
and, without another word, mounted
my horse, as did the others. We
escaped and made our way to our COM
mands across the Apponxttox. You
know the story of the days that fol-
lowed. Petersburg fell, Richmond fell,
Lee capitulated and-the end"
The two comrades seemed looking
backward through the mist of years
involuntarily they grasped each others
hands for an instant; then the speak
er went on:

man; but | couldn't hear a word A
couple OF years later some law busi-

His companion cleared his throat
ominously; but the speaker took no
notice.

forget that Virginia girl; but some
how her image wouldn't fade Ike the
others had. | don't know whether |
meant to make another effort to hunt
her up or not. | know something
seemed to draw me to Petersburg.
And, would you believe 1t. tha very
first man met as started out OF the
depot was Col. Bascom. A trihe gray
er, little more careworn, but the
same genial gentleman.
BLESS mel he cried, almost squeex-
ing my hands off, is 1t really you,
captain? We heard you were killed in
the fighting around Petersburg. Dear
me! How glad am TO see you. But,
wait a minute; I'm looking for Gladys.
Did you see anything of her on your
train? came to meet her.
''0f course, | hadn't seen her!
Just then someone touched me very
gently on the arm and voice-that
voice-said with note that was be-
tween laugh and tear:
"'Capt. Williamson. allow me to re-
turn your watch' And | knew in a
minute that hadn't forgotten-that l
couldn't forget"
An lncffable look came into the vet
eran's face and he paused.
"Well?" suggested the listener, rath-
er impatiently.

I've travelled the road. and they all
look alike at that period. Angel? Yes,

was said that the tour would begin at

turning again the pages of that Book
Of the Past, where soldiers love to lin
ger.
Love and war?-why not?" said
the captain; "the two are indissolubly
welded. There's something about a
soldiers life that makes love a neces-
sity. Many a time and oft I've heard
my general say that the men without
sweethearts or wives were easier TO
whip and easier to kill than the fell
lows who were tethered to life by
good strong affection. Why. man alive!
I've heard the echo OF Take Your Gun
and Go, John" so loud above the noise
of shell and shrapnel that l could have
sworn IL was the real thing; and

smile

We'll, you see," continued the cap
tain, I'VE had moved on to Petersburg
and were hoping-but what's the use
Of saying anything about our hopes?"

sigh that showed the kindred soul; "a
Confederate's hopes-in war, not love,
you Understandable things a fellow
must learn to forget. But when Cupid
was afield, that's another matter. You
were near Petersburg?"
Yes, but hang it all so were the
Yankees, and getting nearer every day.
We all felt that battle was imni-
nent and were waiting to see just
what turn to take. We filled in the
time OF waiting-why should we not?-
by getting acquainted with some of
Virglnia's fair daughters. Know any
thing about those Virginia women"
and the captain paused as IL the an
swer to this question gave the clue to
what was to follow.
MY wife's a Virginian," the other
answered succinctly.
''She is? oh, well, then. explana-
tions and amplification are unneces-
sary. You can easily understand that
crossing the Appomattox at night and
being shot at occasionally by Yankee
pickets was the jolliest sort of fun

to rally and her sudden decease was hard
ly expected. She was conscious until

at her bedside. The end came peacefully.

residence Sunday at half past two o'clock.
It is requested that no flowers be sent.
