A Soldiers Daughter.
Great was Charles Vane's delight to
liiid Eunice alone in the parlor. It was
at Col. Coppinger's house in tiratnercy
park. Eunice's father had recently died,
and she had come to live at Col. Coppin
ser's heeaiise that old warrior had liked
her parents and liked her. Vane knew
that she was poor. To this he paid little
attention, aud to Eunice herself he would
have paid wore had she not bad a way
of excusing herself and leaving him in
Alice Coppiuger's company every time he
Called.
Un thit occasion Alice was not at home,
aud there was no choice for Eunice but
tj n-iuain.
He saw an army sword upon the piano.
"What is the colonel's sword doinj;
down here?" he asked.
"It is not the colonel's sword," she an.
swered.
''Yours, possibly?" he fcaid, smiling.
"Yes, it was my father's. He gave it
to ine."
"I did not know you were a soldier's
daughter."
"1 am, and prouder of it than if an an
cester of mine bad been a member of Sir
Peter tuyvesant'a council." .She went
gracefully over to the piano as she spoke,
and, taking the scabbard in one hand,
with the other skillfully drew out the
blade.
''I like to hear you say that," he
said, going to her side. "It is the kind
of talk that puts fighting blood into men
when it & needed.
fc'ue had laid the scabbard on the piano
and w as holding the saber.
''.See! I have been polishing it. It
glintens as I Ltncy it did when my father
swung it at the hea l of bis men and they
hushed the rebel yell and broke the line
of the enemy."
She smiled as she concladed her little
speech, and he admired her more than
he did the saber.
"Most women would be afraid to han
dle such a weapon," he said.
In answer she gave a ht tie laugh which
plainly snowed she wasn't.
"6ee how sharp it is," she continued,
as she passed the saber over to him for
inspection. Vane ran his thumb along
the edge. It was keener than he thought.
A drop of blood fell upon the table.
In an intUut Eunice had wrapped her
handkerchief around the bleeding linger.
As she tightened the knot he wished he
had also cut the other thumb.
"There?" she exclaimed, "it is always
the duty of a soldier's daughter to bind
np a soldier's wounds."
"And why do yon keep it so tantali
zingly sharp?"
"My father did so. I love to do as he
did. Then, it isalways ready tor service,
and if there ever comes a time when it is
needed, I shall give it to the bravest man
I know, as he requested."
"I should like to be that man." He
bent very close to her. Shu was looking
down at the saber, w hich sue had placed
on the piano aain. As she felt his
breath upon her cheek she moved a step
away .
This step stopped what he would have
said, and he went on nonchalantly
"L'nder whom did your hither serve V
' L'nder Sheridan from first to last.'
He questioned more eagerly.
"What regiment ?"
"The Ninth Illinois."
"The Ninth Illinois," he said, seizing
her hands. "That was my father's regi
ment ! Why, this is like meeting an old
friend. You are Capt, Erdman's daught
er?" "And you are Lieat. Vane's son?" she
cried.
"Yes, yes. I know all about your fath
er. He was the bravest man in the regi
ment. He had five horses killed nnder him
in battle. At Chickaniauga he fell wound
ed near to death holding fast to the col
ors, and they made him a captain for it.
Father often wondered what had become
of him. He was never at any of the re
unions. " Y'ou see," he added, by way of ex
planation, "father went to Chicago di
rectly after the war. lie did well and.
when I was old enough 1 went to Yale.
I had just got to be able to show my
gratitude for what be bad done for me
when he died."
He did not ask about bet father ; he in
ferred that he, too, waa dead. She did
not tell him about their history. He had
not "done well," but he had done the
best he conld, and bad died in his oliice
chair, trying.
This rinding of new ties settled these
two young people's destinies. It was the
old story they were in love.
A month afterwards, while Vane was
in his office one afternoon, a. note came
to him from Vaughn, one of his wealth
est clients, asking him to m jet the presi
dent of the United Mexican Mining com
pany, limited, at the Fifth Avenue hotel
at 7:30 that evening, and to have all of
Lis wits about him. Ue ? tad arranged to
take Eunice to the theater that night, but
business was always befor e pleasure, with
this young American, and Eunice was a
rset

A7EDNESDAY, AUGUST JJ0, 189JJ.
sensible girl. He s?nt a note to her tell
ing the circumstances, and postponed the
visit to the play.
At 7:15 that .evening Vane met John
McCuliagh in the big corridor of the
Fifth Avenne. McCuliagh was a clever
man, who had written the play which
Vane and Eunice were to have seen that
night.
"I am going up to Col. Coppiuger's to
brine Alice down to see the last two acts
to-night," he said to Vane.
"If you are going to Coppiuger's, why
why," Vane responded, "will you take
a note up to Miss Erdman for me ?"
"Yes. Hurry up with it for I haven't
much time."
Vane had found that he would have
part of the evening to himself, and he
made np his mind to take Eunice to the
theater after all. He seizad a piece of
paper from the desk and wrote:
"I w ill be up at 'J. If you wish we can
get down to see the las: two acts of
Southern."
McCullagh's basentmindedness vied
w ith his forgetfdliiess. A friend rode up
with him, and in their taik till remem
brance of the note in his pocket had es
caped him.
When he reached Col. Copp'tnger'a he
found Alice sitting by the tire, reading
the Idler and nursing a cold. Site could
not go.
"Do you suppose I would sit for an
hour and be compelled, just because you
were wilhuie, to laugh at your jokes ?"
she said wickedly. "15 it Miss Erdman is
upstairs. She w ill be glad to go with
you, I think."
Within ten minutes Eunice and Mr. Mc
Culiagh passed out the door, he still un
consciously bearing Mr. Vane's note in
his pocket.
When Mr. Vane himself called, hail an
hour later, the servant, w ho was enter
taining a member of the jiolice force in
the kitchen with cheese and assorted
crackers from the Coppinger cupboard,
was in no humor to answer bells cheer
fully. '
So she told Vane abruptly that Miss
Erdman was not in, and closed the door.
Vane was angry itnd went oir growling
to the theater alone. He knew Vaughn
and his daughter would be there.
The blood rushed to Eunice's cheeks
when, just before the curtain rose for the
fourth act, she saw Vane walk into the
box where Mr. and Mrs. Vaughn were
feak-d.
"There's Vane in the Vaughn box,"
Mi Cul'mgh whif-'pcreJ. "Since lie got in
with Vaughn his practice hits trebled. I
phould not be surprised if he and Miss
Vaughn were a match. It will be a boost
for Vane, but he is worthy of it."
Theu the love making ou the stage
went on.
"I.-n't that the author hi, itself sitting in
the eighth row back, next to the second
circle!" asked Miss Vaughn, as she fo
cused her glass upon the audience at the
close of the fourth act.
"Yes," answered ane, who hJ al
ready discovered the presence of Mc
Culiagh and the identity of his compan
ion, staring blankly at the gallery. "1
wonder if he enjojn his own play ?"
"It is the same young woman I saw
here w ith him once before," continued
Mis Vaughn. "I suppose playwrights fall
in love the same as everybody else."
During the intermission Vane was very
attentive to Miss Vaughn. Rut he for-
got his gayety when he left her, for there
w as a very bitter look on his face as he
turned the key in his own lock at mid
night. The next day he was troubled in mind
and heart. When night came he con
cluded to goto Eunice, just to see what
explanation she would offer.
In the meantime McCuliagh had left
town, and the note was in an overcoat
pocket packed in the bottom of his trunk
When Vane reached CM. Coppiuger's
at S o'clock he found Medfor l and An
drews, w ho were members of the same
company of militia as himself, there be
fore him. They were talking. tbout a re
ception to be given by the co upany the
following evening, in which the officers
were to appear in uniform.
"I shall wear my father's old swerd,"
said Andrews,
"A nood idea," assented Vaue.
"Well, I can t" put in Medford, "ba
caate my father was not in the war."
' It is not right that you should be left
!," interposed Eunice. She hesitated
a waienL She saw Vane talking in: an
aside Co Alice.
"Ifcavea sword that you may wear.
Excct-e nje a moment." With this she
ran to her room .
Site took the scabbard down from i:s
place over her bureau and drew .the bhit le
out. A little red spjt showed itself in
the gaslight upon the steel a drop of
his blood.
Before she thought she pressed her ltp
to it. Then, angry with herself, eht
wiped it off with her handkerchief.
"Here it 'a, Mr. Midford," she sxii,
when she reached the little group down
stairs; "it has been in 20 battle: l"
Medford bowed bis politest oow and
suddenly became the most taikr.tive ma a
in the company.
Vane went over to the manU-Jpiece and
began seriously to study the pictures
there.
Eunice's hand trembled when she re
ceived the sword from Medford as thny
parted at the door the next evening. She
had been to the ball and had seen Vane
there with Miss Vaughn.
She cried herself to sleep. The next
morning she announced her attention of
visiting some of her relativ as in her fath
er's native town in Illinois.
While she was clearing out the last
drawer in her bureau in one corner she
saw something red. It was the blood on
the handkerchief she had used to bind
up Vane's wound when Le had cut his
finger upon the sword blada. She kissed
it, thrust it into her pocket and cried.
In the latter part of April McCuliagh
came bursting into Vane's office.
"My dear fellow, he exclaimed, "you
know I am the most absent-minded man
in the world, don't you?"
"Of course. It's the privilege of geni
us. Sit down."
"You remember the note you jrave me
to give to Miss Erdman T'
"Yes, I do," Vane cried, with quickly
hidden excitemenL
"I found it in my overcoat pocket to
day when I was unpacking. Awfully
sorry, yoa know. Now, if it's in my pow
er to make an explanation or "
"No; it's all right. I would not want;
to trust you witb anything important.
H I- Tv
however. Miss Erdman issotnewhere in
the west. I wish you would let me have
the note."
"Here it is. I am ashamed of myself."
After McCullah had closed the door
Vane wrote a letter to a young woman
in a little western town, which contained
a note written on Fifth Avenue hotel
stationery, a request for pardon and a
vow of love. He waited days, he waited
weeks for an auswer which did not come,
and then ue called himself au au and
became a bear.
Eunice as the daughter of the captain
of the brave Ninth, which w as Egle
stonV glory, received every attentijn
from the people of that little town.
Thomas Arnold was postum-ster of E
gleston and had been for years. The re
muneration of the office was small and of
little object to him, who waa twice a mil- i
lionaire, owned all the laud lor tminy
miles around, had mucti real estate in
Chicago which he had bought :J0 years
before, and lived in the handsome stone
house on the hill with two servants and
two great bulldogs. He was post in aster
because it served to tighten his grxspon
the town, and his love of power was in
ordinate. He bore his in) years well and
was a prepossessing man.
Eunice had heard her father say that
Arnold was a coward. In war time he
iiad refused to enlist, and when drafted
had hired a substitute.
Rut soon after Eunice' arrival Arnold
had begun to pay her attention. He
had taken her to ride behind the tinest
team of black horses in his stable. Of
the loneliness of his life, of the failure of
his wealth to !ring him happiness, he
had told her a'ain an d azvn. Often he
intimated he had wished he could lind
some object to whom be could. devote his
money and the remainder of his life.
It was a custom of Arnold's, although
b had a deputy to attend to all of the
business, to g down to the postoilice iu
the evening and assort the mails. lie
seemed to take pleasure in them looking
over the letters this millionaire. Sjme
times he sent the clerk out on an errand
when the post-cart arri veil. Oa a certain
night the name of "Charles Vane, attor-ney-at-laW,
Equitable building, New
York," on the upper left-hand corner of
an evelope, had attracted his attention.
The letter never reached its dertination.
That very night he drove over to
where Eunice was living, and an hour
later Eunice was sitting by his si le, and
tliey were spinning a'ong t wo miles of
town. The rush of tiie air made her
cheeks red. Like all women sin-loved
tos.t behind a spirited team ; she liked
things of luxury at her dispoal. Arnold
slowed the horses to a walk.
"Miss Erdman, I am an old man." He
said this with elrcct. The breeze had
brought life into his face, while he gate
his body a pose of commanding strength.
""No, you are not. line would never
take you to be a day over 40," she an
swered, frankly. Arnold felt the blood
tingle in his finger-tips.
"But I have worked hard for many
years," he went on, "and prosperity is
something of a reward. I admire vdu
more than any woman I ever met." He
paw it was time to strike and brought
matters to a point at once. "I have lived
long enough to know a noble woman a
woman worthy of a place of honor in the
w-ld, and I love you. Will you marry
me?"
The leaves of the tre-?s were grven ;
there were flowers by the roadside. The
horses pranced and shook the foam from
their mouths upon shining necks and
hips. Luxury, which makes up for many
evils, abounded everywhere. Eunice did
not answer for a moment. The scene
had much to do with framing her anwer.
This is very sulden, Mr. Arnold, and I
appreciate tne compliment ; but I should
f like to think about it for a time.
Certainly certainly. I admire you
Sot not wishing to take a hasty sup.
IVhen shall I know?" he asked breath
lessly. 'This isthe 10:h. Say Memorial day."
Very well. It is along time, bnt I
caa wait cheerfully," he said cheerfully.
Inwardly he cringed, for he did not like
the associations the appointed time
brought to his memory.
On their way back ne told her some
tb.it.jj of his wealth, of the house he in
tended to build in Chicago. He showed
the speed of the horses, as he sat erect,
holding the reias, he pies?nted the pict
ure of a man of power.
The morning of Memorial day found
Kit nice early at her father's grave, whence
she had carried a great basket of flowers,
aiming them a large bunch of violets.
Violets were Capt. lirdmuu's favorite
flowers. They wi re of the same coler as
the uniform he wore for four years and
the field of the II 'g lie loved so well.
Thither came Thos. Arnold, dressed iu
his best smile and a neat and well-fitting
coat of gray to inteirupt her devotions.
"Miss Erdman, you should have let me

iiheZ arranging the bou met of violetsat
th it'ad of the grave, and arose, stately
and 4autiful, her face flushed with becd
ing to iter work. "It was not heavy. I
rather rjoyel it."
"What a triumph," Arnold thought
If I could win her over her father's dead

"Tlii is the day when I am to learn
my fate." He went on, with a tremor in
Lis wcice.
S be did not answer. She was wrapt
in tl wught, and he waited upon her pleas
ure I o aix-ak.
Do fn in the valley the little town lay
at pea ce. Now and then a soft breeze,
comint,'fforii the west where the river
sparkle 4 waved the tope of the tall ma
ples. T he sun glistened upon the brus
dome of Jie quaint o'.a courthouse and
dully g'ea wed on the slate roof of the
great man on opposite, which Thomas
Arnold ow ed, on the slate roof of the
bank buila'iag which Taoaias Arnold
owned, and upon the piles of coal at
the south of the mines upon the bluff
on the other aide of the river, which
'Thomas Arnold owned.
At her feet were two graves, one of a
lieutenant, the other of hiseaptain, while
around her wtie many white marble
slat bedecked with flowers. At the
other end of tt cemetery wis a tall
monument bearing in great letters, "Ar-
nold," but there were no chisehed in-
1.JLU1
Bcriptions of brave deeds done, of flags or
or sabers or cannon balls cut upon i's
mab'e side.'
Under which should she be buried?
She heard the soft, unsteady voice of
au old nepro almost at her side, saying:
"Yes,s.th. Disbeah's de grav. Perty
loni tote f jr an old man, dat."
The few remaining members of the
Ninth had to-day formed in the public
square as they bad done years lefore,
w hen all were yoan and all were there.
The wind caujjht the (lag and unfurled it
to the air. The rap-rap of a drum beat
ng a dead march came Moating to Eu
nice's ear. Along the highway leading
up toward the cemetery a httie band of
men in faded blue were slowly moving
to the sorrowful music with feeble steps.
The veteran in front bore the battered
battle flag, which her mother's hand had
helped to fashion aud which was dyed
with her father's blood. Her head swam
and she saw only a blue speck upon the
background of the dusty road and green
fields.
She spoke almost in a whisper, but
w ith a decision and defiance which re
minded Thomas Arnold of bitter words
her father had spoken lonago.
"No. I will not marry you, Never!"
"Very well. I will wait. This is no
time to talk of it." Arnold saw that the
spirit of the day affected her and pnthiui
at a disadvantage. He did not notice the
young man coming up the walk.
Half au hour later all had been ex
plained s.nd Vane held her iu his arms.
"Now, there will be two swords over
my mantelpiece, and I can use them both
if our country needs me."
She rested her head u-mn his shoulder,
and then, looking up w ith tears in her
eyes, w hispered :
"lam twice glad you came. I came
near to doic; something unworthy of a
soldier's daughter.
A Tactful Life.
I know of a nice, tactful w 'man, hard
ly more than a bride, w hose husband did
uot come home one night. Rat he did
the next morning, and stammered apolo
gies about "business," "man from the
West" aud ether stp h matters that had
nothing to do with it. To his great sur
prise and intense relief she accepted his
explanations sweetly, unquestioningly.
Another night fell. Anxious to make
further amends for his tardiness, he came
in fairly early, expo-ting to be ir.ct w ith
the u-ual sect smiie of his wife. Rut
the snt et smile was not there ; neither
was the wife nor any word of explana
tion, nor did she return. An avtf.il niht
of it tl.at man spent, and when the little
lady returned the next morning he was
ready to heap scorn and anything eL-e
handy upon her apologetic head.
Hut she didn't apoIogUe not i-he.
Sweetly she bade him good morning,
went about her usual Uuties amiably,
but vouchsafed not the slightest expla
nation. The man went off by himself
and thought awhile.
When fie came bai k in an hour he
was a changed man. He told her so,
said she did perfectly right and he was
a brut. Then they made up in the
good, old-fashioned way. They said it
shouid never happen again, and it never
did.
The woman who keeps her temper in
spite of knowing and insisting upon
what she wants, gains her point. That
man is just as proud as he can be of his
"blight wife." f.'i-cioo Ti... .
The ran Ha Wanted.
The rather respei table tramp sidled up
to the business man's desk, and the bus
iness man thought he was a home mis
sionary or something, after a contribu
tion. " Hood morning," said the visitor.
" C.jod morning," responded the busi
n -SS man.
"Fine weather we are Laving," said
the visitor.
" Very pleasant," responde I the man
at the desk.
" Have you been to the World's Fair,"
a:-ke 1 the visitor.
" I have not," was the resjnse.
" Are you going?''
" I am not."
" Well, you are the very man I'm look
ing fr," said the visitor hopefjlly. "Ev
eryb dy I've struck for a beer fr two
months past has either been to trie fair

him have it.
She Took the Hint
A fcood Presbyterian woman in Foun
dry street had a tramp caller Friday and
she generously S;;t before him a glass of
miik, plenty of bread and a piece of pie.
Tiie tramp sat down and looked at it for
some time.
"Madam," he said, without touching
it, "are you a member of any church?"
She thought he was going to ask a
blessing.
" Yes," she replied, " I am a Presbyte
rian." " I am glad to hear that, madam, for I
am a Presbyterian myself."
"Yes?" she replied, not knowing what
else to say.
""Yes, madam," he went on, as he eyed
the food critically, " and I believe us
Presbyterians don't object to eating meat
on Friday, do we?"
Then it was her meek and lowly spirit
that hoisted itself in wrath, and the
next minute the tramp was flying tow
ard the gate with the dog after him.

Mental strain was something Aloysius
De Oughmp could ill afford.
Presently a beautiful little boy flitted
into the room.
The youngish party started eagerly
from his seat. There was a look of ag

" What did she sav r he demanded.
"She said," lisoed the child, "to tell

The youngish party could not repress
an exclamation of joy.
His face shone with satisfaetien.
" And is that all she said V he asked,

The child shook his hea l.
" What was it, Willie? Tell me her

having been stripped of trees, the sale of
planted specimens w ill become a regular
business. " Tere is plenty of land in this

for any other purpose than the growing
of trees. Such land could be purchased
for from f I to 1 an acre. Dr. James

The story was finished by the duke's

A Remedy Discovered That Is

The tn'M-rcit Uu-Mi were discovered by
I'rof. Koch, to be constantly present in
all cases of consumption. Where the
blood is impoverished or impure, there
results that constitutional condition
known as scrofula, which is characteriz
ed by the liability of certain tissues to
become the seat of chronic inflamma
tions and enlargements.
These troubles may start as catarrh ia
the nasal passages, throat or lungs, and
a the membranes become weakened,
the tubercle :ai-cilli enter, and multiply,
and we have, as a result, that dread dis
ease Consumption.
Find a perfect remedy for scrofu'a, ia
all its forms something that fti jic the
blood, as well as comw to. That, if it's
taken in time, will cure Consumption. It
has been found in Dr. Pierce's Cioldea

Names ot Nails.
The origin of the terms "six-penny,
"ten-penny," etc., as applied to nails,
though not commonly known, is involved
in no mystery whatever. Nails have
been made a certain number of pounds to
the thousand for many years, and are
still reckoned in that way in England, a
ten-penny being a tbcusauu nails to ten
pounds, a six-penny a thousand to Bix
pounds, a twety-penny weighing twenty
pounds to the thousand.
And in ordering, buyers call for the
three pound six-pound or ten-pound vari
ety, etc., until by the Englishmen's ab
breviation of "pun" for "pound," the
abbreviation has been made to stand for
penny, instead of pound, as originally
intended.

"We are turning them out as fast as we
