Gregg, and that Ewell would attack at
dawn" But even as he spoke came
confirmation of his words In the dim
light of the dawn, the guns of Greene
and Geary had suddenly opened on
shadowy gray lines, issuing from the
opposite woods, and Wadsworth sprans
for his horse. But the commander sig.
nailed Benton to remain. "You have
done a gallant deed. captain, and have
brought me most valuable informa-
ton, were his words a moment later;
ut shall not be forgotten
Yet Benton was surprised late that
afternoon when, after the din of the
most terrific cannonade ever heard on
this continent. and, after daring and
determined attack, Pickett, Ewell and
Stuart all had been repulsed-Pickett
with dreadful loSs-there came a mes
sage summoning the aide-de-camp to
Meade's headquarters. An orderly led
him toward rude wagon-shed beneath
which knelt four officers, surrounding
PROSTATE figure. "He asked for you"
said surgeon. briefly, and one glance
at the face of the stricken soldier was
enough. Benton threw himself on his
knees, and clasped the cold, nerveless
hand, feebly lifted to greet him. The
failing eyes lighted up one moment in
love then closed in agony, as a spasm
OF torment seized the fragile form.
"Paul-Paul-my God!" was all that
Benton could murmur, and surgeon
hurriedly brushed before him and held
little silver cup to the twitching lips
OF his patient Mortal, yes" was his
whisper, as the poor lad. exhausted,
lay for a moment in a deathlike swoon.
Then the stimulant seemed to revive
him bit. The dark eyes slowly opened
and fixed on Benton's quivering face.
"Bless you, old boy!"-and every
whisper seemed to come with a gasp
Il heard knew-you'd never give
up her letters. Observation-Disclosures ?"
And here the poor lad seemed drifting
away again. Benton thrust his left
arm under the fallen head and strove
to raise it, while once more the surgeon
placed the cup to the parted lips; and,
noting the name, a staff officer turned
quickly and said word to a waiting
soldier. 1t was another minute before
the Swoon1ng lad reopened his eyes.
Two other forms had joined the silent
group. Benton saw nothing but the
loved face. Then some one, we'll mean
ing, bent and questioned: "You asked
for Maj. McKinnon. Did you wish to
speak"
"McK;nnon!" whispered Paul.
"McKinnop?" and now shudder SEEM
ed to seize the wasting form. Tell
him for me know he stole my letters.
Tell him 1 told Rosalie-every word
he said of you was cowardly-lie"
And not until the dead hand in his
was cold and stiffening did Benton
know what caused the strange move
ment and sensation in that group as
Ladue's last words were spoken. AL
most inaudible, they had reached the
straining ears OF four who bent to
listen, and of one who, standing, would
gladly have been deaf to them.

THE UP-TO-DATE STYLE.
Something That Must Be Followed
by Preachers as Well as
Tai1Ors.

William Dean Howells was at Ok
ford, where an honorary degree had
been conferred upon him. He was
walking down the High street with an
aged fellow of Brasenose college, re-
lates an exchange. The talk turned
to the passing of one literary school
and the rise of another, and the OK
ford man said:
Il am reminded of an old clergyman
I used to know in Woodstock.
''He was very old. The only person
in his parish of equal age with him
was a tailor and the tailor and he
were great friends. They often called
on one another.
We'll, one evening the clergyman
sat in the tailor's shop. He was quiet
and thoughtful. He gazed into the fire
in silence for long time. Finally
he said with sigh:
"tJames, I can't tell why it is that
our congregation is getting smaller
and smaller. l am sure 1 preach as
well as l ever did, and ! must have
gathered great deal of wisdom and
experience since 1 first came among
YOU
tAh, SIR said the tailor sadly, old
parsons, nowadays, are like old tail
ors. I am sure sew as well as ever
did, and my cloth is the same, or bet
ter; but it's the cut-the new cut-that
beats me-
