Frances Hook was ft young Udy whose parents had died when she was only two years old. She resided with a brother in Chicago w no en listed ia tbe Coth "Home Gaards." Frances was now alone ia the world, a'jd, uaable to stand the separation from her brother, she smuggled her telf into his regiment under the as sumed name of Frank Miller. She served with her brother three months and was honorably mastered out, without the slightest suspicions hav ing arisen as toner sex. i ranees wa6 a strong, handsome girl, and manv were tne remarBs made anoui tbe "fine young boy with tbe rosy cheeks," but no one suspected tbe rosy cheeks belonged to as an heroic, seet tempered gtrl, as good as God ever made. Wben their time was out ia the C.oth, Frances and her brother enlist ed ia the 00th Illinois, aad be was killed while she was taken prisoner by the rebels at the battle of Chat tanooga. She was fighting with fier regiment w hen a shot from the enemy hit her in tbe calf of one of her limbs and knocked her down. Fran ces, fearing the discovery of her sex mere than anything else, made every effort to escape, but was too badly wounded, and was finally overhauled by the rebels and captured Sae bad got cat oil and was lost wnen capt ured ; going to the rear of the rebels instead of toward the Union lines. She bad changed pirtsof ber uniform and hid in aa out-house or an old barn. Whea taken she was suspect ed of being a spy, and was conducted at once to one of the reoel generals The rebels who bad captured her wished to search ber person for pa pers, bat this she resisted so strongly nd begged so hard to be takn to headquarters mat ber wisbes were fiualiy complied with. Tbe rebel Lieutenant, on presenting her to bis commanding officer, said : "Here is a Union soldier who was cip ured uuder peculiar circumstan ces and is suspected of beluga spy. I ordered him la be searched for pa o r s, but he said be would rather die tnau have that done, and begged so bard to see you I inouthi I would bring him to you and receive your others ia the case." "What does ibis ineaa ?" sail the rebel General, lookiag bard at the liiile and handsome young soldier. "I i means, General," said the brave girl, "that I am neither ft spy nor a men, bat a Union girl, who has been serving ia tbe ranks with ber broth er, and who has unfortunately been wounded and captured. I was afraid of your soldiers, and feared if they discovered my sex I mignt receive ill treatmeat or be taken for a spy. I am now in the presence of a Confed erate General, wbose position assures me he i as honorable as he is brave, a id who will respect and protect ft poor, unfortunate girl." The gullant rebel General rose from bis chair aad lifting bis cap, said, re-pecifully : "Vou are right ; you are safe bere, end shall have the best care and treatment we can afford." Frances, who bad strained every nerve to keep cp, no sooner heard the assuring words of tbe brave Gen eral tban she felt a dizziness coming over her; her countenance became dea'.bty pale, she staggered and fell to the floor in a swoon. Tbe Gsneral had ber carried to a house near by, and sent bis staff sur geon to dress her wound. Fraucea w as badly hurt, tbe ball having pass ed through tbe upper part of the calf of ber leg end severed some of tbe tendons. It was ft delicate task at tending the fine Illinois girl and dressing ber wound, but Frances was cbeertut, and having a robust consti tution, recovered rapidly and was saon walking about.

Frances replied, thank ing the Confederate President for bis kind wo: da, and said, "1 have no home, no relatives, now that my brother has been killed ; but I prefer to be what I have been ft soldier for tbe Union, aid a-k only that I may soon be exchanged, so that I cau firbt again for tbe Stars and Stripes." Frances was soon exchanged and at tempted to rejoin ber regiment, bat was n U permitted to do so. Miss Hook is described as being rather tail for a girl, bad dark haleyes, brown hair, rounded features and a great leal of color ia ber checks. Her eyes were bright and ber voice 6oft and musical.

Fiualiy a young man and tbe girl to whom he was betrothed bet 200 fraaks that tbey could kiss 10 000 times in ten boars, providing tbey would be allowed to take an acca sional glass of wine "between." Two persons were appointed a committee to count tbe number of kisses, and tbe work began. Daring tbe first hour they counted 2,000 kisses. Dur ing tbe second hour the kisses were not pearly as numerous, for the com mittee only counted 1,000. After the third hour, during which tbey man aged to score but 750, further opera tions were brought to a sadden stand still. The lips of the young man were seized with ft cramp, and he was car ried off in ft faintiug condition. The girl, a few days later, was stricken witb brain- fever, wbicb nearly car ried ber off to aland where kissing under any form ia unknown. When the people wbo had won the bet demanded their money the parents of tbe girl refused to pay her share of it Tne matter was then taken before tbe coons, aad there it was decided that the bet mast be paid.
