The pretence inado herself my slave, Hither and Ihllher came nud went; ' All that she had poor kindness Rave, Till all was spent. She tried to soothe and make mo whole; Her touch was torment In my pain; It froze my heart, benumbed my soul, And crazed my brain. At last, her duty all fulfilled, She turned with cheerful enso away, Yet would have lingered, had I willed That she should stay. And Ul there, kncalt, where slio had stood. One, wistful as a rlilld might be. Who blushed at her own hardihood In helping inc. She said no word, she only turned Her passionate sweet eyes on mine. Until wllhln my sorrow burned A bliss divine. And In that gaze I woke once more To earth beneath and heaven above This was not kindness as before. Hut only Love. The Story of a Spy When IlallecV was besleslng Beauregard it Corinth, or, rather, dally approaching the Confederate lines by a system of de eiise, I whs in thojtrenches one afternoon lien the captain of my company sent foi no and ordered me to reoort to the colonel. The colonel ordered me to report at Gen. ilallcok's headquarters, and when I made "my Appearance th? cencrl said: "You have ione somo scoutlne?" "Yes, sir." "Will vou ro as a spy?" "Where to?" 'Into Corinth. I want Information which only a spv can secure. If you come back on shall be well rewarded; If jou are de ecled you will bo bung!" "I will try It." "Very good. Return In an hour and I ill give you Instructions. When can you set out?" "lly midnight." "That will do." 1 went away wonderlnc how on earth Icn, TIalleck had eyer beard of me, and V vas a month later befme I ascertained tin acts. One afternoon I was "showing off ' efore a group of soldiers, and tbo general nd his chief engineer baited on their round f inspection and becamo spectators unbe nown to me. Jn my palmy days I conlci tnltate any vplce I heard. I could put mj irn Into nlninst any shape; I could work my ears liko a horse, and could thrown hat off my he.d by workln; my scalp, and when I was only 24 yctrs old I could make my face look like that of a man of 70. As my face ws as beardless as a woman's I could dress In female attire and defy any oca to delect mo bv.my voicaor,S.U. .. -The main thins was to get into Corliith The geneial bad no suRsestlons to make on u.u poiLt, ami tho woik to be dono when nce Inside seemed easy enough. Tho wa nto Corinth by tho south and west wa till open, and milk, vegetables, bay am ther stuff were being received by eveij lizhway. When I set out Just before sun lown I had $300 In cold in my pockets and i bundle of clotlilncr In my hand. At-mid light, when I reached tho point aimed n i bow-backed old man of 70, lame, gray- mired and toothless, might have been seen Ittlnc In a fence corner of a highway tr twall tho passago of time. I was wliblr seven miles of Corinth, and my plan was tr ro In with some vehicle. Within ten mile1 f me were two great armies getting rcad 'or a death grapple; but just then the frog roakcd.the Insects buzzed and peace spread her mantle as In a grave-yard. Indeed I -vas In a drowse when I heard the rattling if wheels, and was on my feet, when a voung man driving ?. horse to an open bnggv amo along. ITa had sir lugs of milk In ilia vehicle and was bound for town. "ITey, vou!" I called to him. "Can' vou give an old man a lift to town? Mv hoy has run off r.nd joined the soldiers and t mutt see him Rnd try and get blm back." "Who are you?" "Judge Levlnglon, of Guntown: started to come by rail, but the engine broke down ind In trying to get ahead I've got lost, I reckon." "I should say you bad! You alnt any where near tho railroad." "Reckon not. Pretty hard on the old man but I feel as If I must get mv boy back." "Well, jump In. I suppose you've cot a pass!" "Oh, yes." lie was a kind-hearted, simple minded ottng man, and bad a pass, which enabled him to come and co at pleasure. We had not gone above half & nil when Isuddcnlt discovered th?,'. I hid lost the Important document which would admit me into Corinth. He stopped his horso while I parched anew, but, the paper could not be found. "And v ha will they do if I don't have a pass?" I asked. "Take you before some of the generals. and they may lock you up. They are very careful of latn." "And I may not get to sto mi boy?" "Perhaps not." I took on for about five minutes In a pa thetic strain, and when I saw that I bad enlisted his sympathies, I said: "My young friend I don't want to 1)6 delayed. You must help me. When we come to the picket post I am to pass as vour father, who has come to town to look around. Eyen an hour's delay may take my boy away, "Oh, but I wouldn't daral" "You'd dare a great deal for these," I aid, as I nut a couple of $10 gold pieces Into his band. "Why yes I I feel sorry for you, and I want you to get In. I might say you was my father, but" "I'll chance the rest.' I don't think he expected any trouhle.for the matter did not seem to trouble biro any When wo drove up to ttje first picket post be halted his horse and was fumbling in I . ... bis pocket for the pass, when one of the pickets said: "That's all right, drive on. Oh, bat who is that with you?" 'The old man. He fit in tbe Mexican war. and wants to see how things look in Corinth." "And if I was ten years younger I'd ahou'der a musket.' I added. it ally for your s Louisa wmror lour thoy were laughing s we drove on. Tlio Inner picket did not stop us at all and wo drove Into town In the gray of the morning. Although tba hour was early, everybody was astir and the streets almost blocked with army vehicles. During the l.'.st half mile of the drive the young man Inspected me very closely, and when I left him bo did not seem altogether satis fied as to my Identity. lie asked me se veral questions about Gun town, which I had to answer at random, nnd my account of bow 'my son' had left borne was not as clear as It might have been. My first move after losing sight of the milkman was to get to a hotel. There I boldly registered as John William Itlchardson, Mobile, and I dropped a hint to tbo clerk that I was furn ishing Beauregard with supplies. As soon I as I went to my room I peeled off my outer suit, removed wig and spectacles, took out three of my falsa teeth, which were on a elate by themselves, blackened my oje- brows, and in ten minutes I was in a new disguise. I went dovn to breakfast, and then slipped over to the other hotel and registered and took a room as Professor E. G. S. LaDue, New Orleans. I bad the French twist to my speech, and I also bad" a discovery relating to a new explosive. I had come to tho front to put tt in practice. It was about 10 o'clock when I started out, nnd who should I run against the very first thing but my friend of tho milk busi ness. Lie bad a sergeant and three pri vates with htm, and as they passed mo he said: 'Oh, I can tell him a mile off. Ills grav wig got rumpled up, and I saw light hair under It, but ho was off before I knew wli&l to do." I followed them to the hotel where I had first registered, and entered It just as they went up stairs to my room. They 'bought they had their man, but were doomed to disappointment. Two of tho men were left In the office, however, while the other two, accompanied by the milkman, went to look for mc on tho streets. This was on the 20th of May. Beauregard had concen trated ever) thing on the short line, and the Confederates believed they bad a sure thing In caso they were attacked In their ntrenchments. I picked up the acquaint- ince of a dozen army officers before night, 4nd tho subject of the new explosive proved nteresting to all. They pumped me for particulars, of course, but my reply was: 'In a day or two I hope to make a test and surprise the Yankees.' Through tbo Influence of a Captain John son, belonging to Manaaduke's command. md who had been wounded and carried his ngut arm in a sling, I secured a- pass to ctrry me about Corinth, and on tho second day of my arrival I posted myself in many details. Everything was excitement and hubbub, as everybody thought a great bat tie imminent, and nobody paid any atteo tlon to me. At my solicitation Capt. John son reported my errlyal to. Beauregard's adjutant, and asked permission for me to experiment. He came back and said: I found him upside down, and be felt ike ordering me under arrest for disturb ing him.' On the afternoon of the third day, while was returning from tho Confederate left, t provost patrol picked me up. My pass was all right and secured my llberatlon.but it gave me an uneasy feeling to observe hat the milkman was among the guard. He had evidently pointed me out for arrest, for I heard him mutter to the guard: 'I may be wrong, but I can't get shut of the feeling that he's the man. No two men could havo such eyes.' I knew I should be under surveillance now, and the first thing I did after reacti ng the hotel was to rcolace my eyebrows, part my hair In the centre aud give a new twist to my mustache, and as I descended to supper my left eye had a slight squint. After supper, as I sat In the office smoking, t observed the milkman moving about as if looking for me. I went directly up to him ind said: 'My friend, were yon looking for me?' No, sir,' was the prompt reply. 'Rut you were with tbo men who arrested mo this evening.' What! Are you the fellow we picked up near the depot?' I am. lie looked at me from top to toe, with a puzzled expression on his face, and I re marked: 'I overheard you say something about my eyes. Is there anything wrong with them? 'N-no. sir.' 'Rut why did you point me out to the zuanl? Indeed, why you are a civilian, tramping about with the soldiers? I pro sume you hold yourself accountable for any trouble you may cause a gentleman?' lie turned pale in sn Instant, and asking me to step aside, be explained: 'There was an old man rode in with me the other morning. He called himself Judge Levlncton and said he lived at Guntown. No such man has ever lived there. This man also wore a gray wig to conceal his natural hair, which was a little reddish.' 'Well?' Well, he told an affecting story, and I passed him in as my father. I believe he was a spy.' 'Yes ' And the soldiers believe it, and want to find him.' And I hope they will. Hut you, my friend, roust use more discretion. If you Insult a gentleman you mm t be prepared to give him satisfaction. I feel that 's iy, I'm sorry about this thing and 1 ho no you will let It drop. Come and have a drink.' I lipid on for a while and then bridged the pawning chasm, and when he was ripe for it I said: I have a brother here a citizen who Is just able to move about after a long ill ncss. I want to get him away before the battlo occ'iw. How far out do you live? 'About nine miles.' If I paid for it couldn't you take him for a week or two?' I'll take blm without pay and be only too glad to do jou a fayor.' I ii.., i ...i.ii I,,.. ii But I wouldn't have it that way. I bar gained with him that he should receive $10 for bis trouble, and that be should call a' tbe hotel the next evening. Nothing was said about a pass, but I intended to tee to that. The next day Marmaduke's captain helped me to tecuro It. K What I saw In Corinth sa'ijfied mo there would le no fight. While the Confederates were short enlnc their lines and Intrenching, and that Beauregard was aching for an attack, the railroad tracks told tba story. I saw thatbo was sending away guns and stores as fast as possible, and was likewise bring ing lit and sidetracking all the cars avail able. Scvoral extra locomotives bad come up, and I believed I had right for suspect ing a retreat from Corinth. This belief was strengthened on the last day of my stay by tho couOdenco of the operator, who informed mo that supplies for Corinth had been stopped down tho road. When evening cams I had seen all that was necessary, and balf an hour after sup per I disappeared. The man who took my placo was an invalid. lie was very pale, weak in the legs, and spoke in a hollow voice.
