"Was only to say good-by and ex-

found that the man was what he declared him
self to be-a deserter, and nothing less. He
was locked In the guardhouse to await trial.
and the waiting was not long, for a court-mar-
tial was convened and the result Of the off,
GERS deliberations was a sentence Of four
years in Fort Leavenworth for the prisoner.
Then it was that the deserter began to
think he had been a fool to give himself up
and he began to think Of something else as
well. 1t was just a week before Christmas
when the prisoner sat down in has cell and
wrote letter to Mrs. Benjamin Harrison,
White House, D. c. Afterward a fellow pris-
oner of the deserter said that he had been
allowed to read the letter before it was sent
to Washington and that it was such an appeal

was bright from the reflection Of happy faces

That deserter never was caught, and as far
as 1t is known he never again gave himself
up to the authorities. There was more than a
rumor at the time, however, that two enlisted

the tale of the deserter's deeds was sent to
the White House in order that the presidents
wife might learn that even woman and 4

CHAPTER TX.

The steamer on which Mrs. Dimes
arrived was three days belated, to our
great impatience, arriving only the
day but one before the wedding invita-
tions were to 60 out; and as the
bishop was away from town on a trip,
which annoyed and puzzled his sister,
It fell to my lot to accompany her to
meet Mrs. Dimes.
It had been years since I had seen
that lady and then but once and brief
ly, but knew her the moment she
came down the gang plank, so exactly
did she look as I had been sure she
would; large. ruddyish woman. in
an indiferently tailored cheviot, with
a mans keen eyes, woman's nose,
the copious chins of the bishops de-
scription, and mouth inclining slight
~ to gentleness, with firm jaw; the
brusque, direct woman that one finds
In q thousand. She had come easily
into success, as the bishop had said,
and one could see that If Anson Dimes
had not accomplished anything for
himself. she must have accomplished
It for him, since woman built in her
mold could not have been a failure nor
have allowed the man she married to
remain one.

moved to meet her and she stopped to
offer grayish cheek to her friends

She nodded briefly when was pre-
sented to her, declined tho arm I
