Ml.! Allen l.viiiue, i ashtngleii, l. C.
This mnrrlngels tlie sequel teau unusually
romantic story. Oeorge Dawsen, a .voting
cnplalu In the onlederate army, lay serious
ly Injured lu 1m. I, a prisoner of war, in the
United .States hospital at Indianapolis. One
of the ladtfH who visited the hospital fre
quently and ministered allke te the woarers
ofthe blue and the gray was a Mrs. Lemen,
the wealthy widow el a Colen efUcer. In
these visits Mrs. I. union was usually accoui acceui
piinksl by her daughter Alice, then a llltle
miss of ten yearn. A fast friendship sprung
uplxjtween tlie young Conftslerale aud the
llltle t nlen girl, which contlnueil soma
months until the former was exchanged ami
eent back te his regiment.
Seven years age Mrs. Lemeii died, and
Miss Alice, through the ellerl of her Repub
lican friends, secured a clerkship In ene of
the departments here. Her health gradually
lalled, and last October she resigned her posi
tion and went West te reside with relatlvcs.
Thu announcement of her resignation was
printed In one of the New Orleans papers,
where It met the eye of Captain Dawsen,
new a dignified bichoter of uilddleagu and
ene of the richest planters en the Lewer
Mississippi. CapUlu Dawsen Immediately
wrete Mias Lemen and aiWed her if stie
was his llltle sweetheart of former years,
aud If se by w hat caprice of fortune she had
been thrown upon tier own reeurcr. Miss
l.omen answered thetcaptam detailing their
financial lesea at U10 tlme of the Jay Ceeko
tailure and the nitHquent death of the
mether. Captain Dawsen thereupon mailed
the lady a check for U,(KO, which he begged
her te accept as n slight recouipeuso for her
mother's klndneia te him whllua prisoner of
war. Miss Lemen returnrsl the check, say
ing that under no circumstances could she
receive It.
Captain Dawsen then came North te soe If
he could net personally prevail upon tlie
lady te accept his assistance, ile went te
Indiana, Intending te step only a ceuple of
dny a, but he remained a month, and when
be returned last weokhecurled with him a
Jiertlieni bride te grace his Southern home.
