Just IOrty years ago today when
the writer was lad of but 18 sum-
mers. we were forced by Generals Nc.
Causlan and Johnston, to abandon
New Creek as it was then called and
go south for our health or otherwise,
and it proved to be otherwise. These
hills appear about as rugged as they
did in 1864 when that episode oc-
Cured.
eff only the Courier reader could
have seen us at that time Robbed of
every garment except pants and shirt,
scared to the very limits of distrac-
ton, conscious of the doleful things to
come, we were indeed pitiable. Of the
heartaches there were at the parental
homes none knew SO well as the faith
ers and the mothers.
A Change in Forty Years.
Seeing the hill on which Ft.Lincoln
and valley of New Creek reminds one
of the ups and downs of life-now on
the summit, then in the glade, strug
Cling up and despairing down. To the
average man many changes take place
in forty years and we were no ex-
ception. Between 500 and 600 youths
were made, prisoners of war here,
most of whom were in tender years,
and many of those noble lads were left
in Richmond at rest until the final
judgment day, or SO spent in their
physical being that a few short years
filled with torture and misery ended
their earthly career We look at the
place and ourselves and wonder how a
few are spared to tell of its horrors
Every well kept military post had it's
gaurd house, and SO had New Creek.
Strange to say the building still
stands. Being made of stone, it has
endured the wear of the elements and
father time. 1t stands not far from
branch of the Potomac river. about
one-fourth of mile southeast of town.
1t is now the dwelling of an elderly
man and his family, and by the way,
it is the only thing left to remind the
old soldier of times gone long ago.
Now Prosperous City.
"The old fort on the elevation west
of the railroad depot is now the loca'
ton of a splendid school building, a
state institution. In 1860 to 1854 the
village probably numbered 100 inhabi
tants, today it is prosperous little
city of $500 we'll to do and peaceable
citizens. Verify the sword and gun
have been transformed into more use
full implements. The rocks and rills
continue to show just the same silent
reminders of the positions of the union
soldiers of those turbulent times. Nc
comrade here to greet me, no fos to
modest, hence we feel like a misplaced
relic.
I'VE occupied the ground where the
school house now stands for nearly 9
year and began to think we had some
interest in the place, when it was
brought to an abrupt close by our cap
ture and speedy adieu November %

disdainfully elegant in their graceiui
curves; deep blue eyes, so deep that
they were almost violet when filled
with feeling or glowing with passion,
and the whole framed in her midnight
hair: she was indeed a rarely beautiful
woman. The performance OF her ma
turity was indeed greater than her
childhood's promise had been. only
prophet might have seen the one in
the past, or a seer recognize the other
in the present.
A strange concentration of circum-
stances had brought the girl to New
France. After Grafton's departure
from the chateau de Josselin she had
dropped and faded. She was growing
too rapidly, thought the marquis and
those who advised him, who never
suspected the real reason for her i'll
health. She actually had pinned for
the young man who had left her be-
hind and yet had taken her childish

she said nothing. so the wise men con-
cluded that she had studied too hard,
had been too closely confined. and so
on. The physicians who were con-
suited. after the simple remedies of the
time had proved unavailing. finally

She was wildly, bitterly jealous OF the
woman in the locket, too, In spite OF
his assurances. although she really De-
lieved them, and she had never intended
this. She knew she could never De
anything to Grafton, Her reason, her
sense, told her that this was folly, buc
the determination of her mind was
abrogated by the feelings of her heart.
Perhaps because she knew there was
nothing beyond she gave way the more
easily to her emotions. The food

Besides all this, she had informed

very deeply upon Grafton's conscious

How blind he had been-a fool! He
forgot five years of separation and
grieved that he had lost one day! The
past faded away, the future lay in the
distance, the present was their own.
Presently, as the first fierce intensity
of her passion spent itself, she laid her
head upon his breast and listened In
sweet surrender to the beating OF his
