Xita, vith outstretched nrrn.t. fftrmr hcr telf iorwnrd to iiu:cl hiin. A grnt city ia draped in luoumin?. On ever' siJe, at half titaff. tlie nation::! flu;? bar.s limp anI lifeless in the uioit an J tiiMy air, as thongh of its own voli toia drooping in honor of the soldier dead. Under the sodden skies, through thronged yet silent streets, in long, long column chofen detachments of wjldiery are leading to its tiual resting place the shrouded clay of him who to such glori ous purjiose had led the Union blue in every field from the Mississippi to the 6ea, and w ho through long years of hon ored service ranked foremost on the rolls of the army forem.ist perhaps in the sreat heart of the peop'e. For d:tys, as though in sympathy with the widespread pritf, the heavens have ioured their floods upon the brown and leafless slopes. All nature 6eems plunged in wintry t'loom. The black smoke from a host cf stacks and chimneys has settled down upon the silent city, covering it like a palL From north and south, from east and west, battalions and batteries, na tional and state, have been concentrat ing to take part in the last honors to the illustrious chief, and dripping, yet dis ciplined, without the stir of martial music, the men have marched from the trains to the rendezvous assigned them about the town. At last the hour has come. The weep ing skies have checked their tears. The streets and sidewalks along the line of march swarm with citizens, whose hush ed voices and reverent miea speak elo quently of their sense of the national loss. From many a state'.y mansion and modest homestead out beyond the business section festoons of black are fluttering in the rising breeze, the flag i . twined with crape, the wiadows, bal conies and stej.13 are alive with spec tators. And, far out on the west ward avenue, ou a sheltered portico that projects from a solid, old fashioned res idence of cut stone and almost over hangs the street, there is gathered a lit tle bevy of fair forms and faces which ve saw together for the first time that Indian summery afternoon t-f the recep tion at Pawnee. The rapid tiot of orderlies and monuted iol.ee, sent ahead t. warn the Kipulacc off the street and b;:ck to the sidewalk, and the distant wailing of cavalry truinjiets far down tLe avenue, have told that uow tbe funeral column is approaching: and from the warmth of the cozy jiarlor, well wrapped in mautles and furs, the ladies have come forth into the chilly February day Mrs, lierrien, Mrs. Ilolden and her chil dren; Winifred, whose soft cheeks are aglow and whose dark eyes turn instant ly, eagerly toward the head of the ad vancing escort; ICiia Guthrie, pallid, lampiid when unobserved by her guests, yet brightening instantly, bravely, when ad.lresM.tl, and striving to be her old gracious, radiant self for the Kike of thftie and other visitors from Pawnee for the Twelfth has been detailed es iiocially to lead the escort of the great commander, and all the way from the frontier and only a few days home from the stirring scenes of its fierce campaign the regiment has been brought hither 1 y the orders of a general who knows thtir worth as well he knows their wrongs and whose soldier heart h; felt for them in all their trials. It was in his j-ower to give this honor " to others, but thor.gh Lis own old regi ment is within easy call, he menus that the people thail see for themselves wh;;t manner of men arc these whom press r.ud pulpit have assail .-d, and sgainst whose fair fame the shafts of blander have been hurled, only to fall blunted and broken or, like boomerangs, come hurlh.g back aliont the ers of the thrower. Vindicated by the verdict of Lis ieers, doubly vindicated by tho l-.ighest powers of the land, gray Laired Farquhar is chosen to command the es t ort, and, though the flower of the na tion's soldiery marches in the funeral train this day, the eyes of all the gath ered throng are strained to see and bail and honor the standard and the guidons of the men who bore the brnnt of battle only two short months gone by. And with the squadrons and the guns from Pawnee came such of the wor.nded officers as were well enough to le trans wrtetl hither, and with them half a dozen of the ladies of the garrison. To the huge delight of the old battalion, t wo of whose troops are cruelly thinned ia numbers now, the jovial major is per tained by Dr. Ilolden to mount "Old Glory" and take his position in front of the line. To the tremulons joy of Wini fred Berrien, Mr. Prewster has tele graphed from Washington, whither he was summoned immediately jTtor the elope of the investigation at the agency, bidding them bring Lis horse and equip ments, for even thongh he cannot draw salier he means to ride with "the black tr.v.p" on this day of days. She has n;t Been him since that wonderful morning when, like a young snow king, he burst throngh the fleecy Uirriers about them and stood before Iter rejoicing eyes their rescuer, her father's preserver, her lover, her hero; ar.d ever since in his pride hi has held aloof from her and all she holds dear. She can hardly hush the fluttering of Ltr heart as now, near at li.iud. she hoars the familiar strains cf tbe trumpets of theTwelfrh, still s mint ing the m-mmfal dead march. Other ladies of the Twelfth are lure Mrs. llazlett. Mrs. Gorham and Mrs. War ren; and smail wonder can there ls that their soft eyes Cll with tears. Ever since the brief and Lloo.lv camjiaign the sad. solemn tones have been their daily music. The crajie is tiot yet mating on the sword hilts of their lords, worn in honor of poor Thorie and Rand and Bnrrows, when it is renewed for the geueraJ in chief. And now the crowds Lttve drifted lack from the asphalt. The platoon of mounted police Las slowly clattered by. Then in long rank, boot to boot. innSed in their blue overcoats, the yellow lined capes turned back, led by their veteran chief and guiding their spirited grays with hardly a touch of rein, the trnm petersofthe Twelfth cover the street from curb to curb, the brazen bells up lifted" and pouring forth tneir mourn ful strains. A little space, and then, mounted on mettlesome bay in the rich housings of a general officer, there rides the marshal of the rade, followed by rank after rank of staff officers, all in tne somber dark blue of the service. The autumn frosts of a vigorous life havo silvered the strands at his temple and tinged with ruddy glow the cheeks of that firm and soldierly face, but the eyes gleam clear and clean as ver they 6hone a quarter century ago, when he and Farquhar spurred through the misty forest aisles aliont Pinwiddio and led the cheering troopers to the charge on Pickett's crouching line at the Forks, lie kuows the fair party on the Guthrie balcony at a single glance, and tonches the visor of his forage cap as he moves slowly by, then summons an aid, gives him a low toned order, and the officer rein" aside to let his comrades pass, then jogs back down the avenue to meet the column. And now necks are craning on every side, and a murmur runs along the crowded banquette, A murmur that fain would break feli In cheer but for the solemn occasion of their coming. Eyes gleam sud brighten; lips stir with inartic-Jte greeting; hands, kerchiefs and hats are waved in voice less acclaiin. Any other time and all the great city would burst into tumultu ous cheer, for here rides gray liaired Farquhar at the head of his staff, and jnst behind them, commanding the Twelfth, still pallid from his wounds, but erect and soldierly as ever, the se nior major, dear old Berrien, lowers his saber in acknowledgment cf the sa lute of the aid, bends Lis ear to listen to the message, glances quickly at the balcony into the smiling face of his wife, meeting Winifred's dark and glowing eyes, but shakes his head, mo tions to Dr. Ilolden, who is at his left rear, and ambles on. Ilolden nods ap preciatively n receipt of what seems to 1 a similar mesis.-'ge, reins out of column, followed by his orderly, dis mounts at the side street, and presently is standing by his wife's side, welcomed most cordially by Miss Guthrie to the now crowded balexwiv. In column of platoons stretching from walk to walk, cle:.r across the street, ranks carefully aligned, every man's head and eyes straight to the front, the leading troopjof the Twelfth are now clinging stej-.dily by. llazlett has glai-ced out ui the comers of his eyes at the lovely picture on the gallery, but, riding at attention as they are, and on duty, he makes no sign. Ilandolph and P.idgeway, Leading their platoons, strive to do two things at once look as though they saw and appreciated the fluttering greetings of hand and handkerchief and smiling eyes to their right, a"nd still look as though they did not see it at aiL The sorrels, the grays have gone by, the bay troop is passing, and now yonder conies Gorham over ou the other side of tho street, the nearest he can get to his regu lation position of four yards to the left of his leading platoon, and out from the sheltering screen of tree branches and in f rout of the center of the first sub division of the blacks, his saber arm still in its sling, his face pale with con finement and suffering, but tall and stal wart rides Curly. "Oh, there's Mr. Drewster! Mr. Brew ster! Oh. why doesn't Le look;" cries Miss Guthrie, as tho handkerchiefs be gin waving furiously, and fair, eager faces press forward in the effort to at tract his attention all but Winifred, who. though bravely smiling like the rest, is clutching with trembling hands the back of her mother's chair and shrinking behind her mother's form. It is impossible for Lint not to sec the flut tering signals. He half glances toward that thronging gallery, and in a second the light leaps t Lis eyes, a flush to Lis pallid check. Instinctively his arm twitches in the effV.-rt of the hand to reach the cap isor, and the instant twinge of shooting pain brings him to Lis senses. He Las one brief, fleeting look, Lowever, at the learning face Le loves, and Le Las just time for a half gesture with the bridle Land, a little nod, and then, as on Le rides, he feels rather than 6ees that one sweet face that beamed npon him has suddenly paled, that one graceful form is u-w staggering back into Holdeu's waiting and expectant arms. Only two platoons ia the black troop today, for the others sleep lieueath the wiutry sod or still lan guish in the hospital ward. Only two platoons. Brewster heais the first; a tall, dark eyed, dark tnustached ser geant the second. "There's Sergeant Ellis!" cries Mrs. Berrien, in her pride and pleasure, "And lie's shaved off his beard. Did you ever see Lim look so young and well?" Eut Mrs. Ilolden, too. Las turned, r.nd does not heed. Her watchful eyes, her attentive ears, have other work to do. Oliedient to her husband's touch, she has drawn close to his side. It is into Ler arms and Lis that, with one quick, gasp ing, stifled cry, JCiU: Guthrie Las fallen as though stricken by a ldt f rom Leaver. It is by these loving arms the limp and prostrate form is quickly Ix.rne withij ai: 1 laid upon the sofa, and Ilolden whispers to Lis devoted wife, "It is all clear now." That night, the long ceremwii.'sof the day concluded, a throng if fair women and brave men are gathered in the par lors and corridor of the great ImteL Down in the marbled court lielow some Italian musicians are playing soft, sweet music. Out in the street, under th? glare of the electric li.;ht. a fine regi ment of state troops has drawn np in long extended line and is standing at ease while its r-Sieers are bidding fare-w.-'i to a host of friends npou the walks h i; IL re and ubove are soldiers of a'i ir8:c!it! of the service, who with the i:i.-.r!:i::g"s snn will l.e scattering to thir stations again. Some are clustered in the broad vestibules and on the oflice floor. Others, the juniors mainly, are paying their resjiects to the wife of the commanding general and to the ladies of the Twelfth, for on the morrow they, too, with tho regiment, take flight for their prairie home. The hour is late, and several of those present Lave just come in from a some wLat subdued and quiet entertainment giv.-n in their Lonor at one of the lieaa tiful homes of the city. The solemn na ture of the duty that has called them hither precludes the possibility of any general gathering, but the dinntr ti which the Berriens and others were bid den Las lasted so long that Winifred lie pan to believe it would never end, and Mrs. Berrien has seen all too plainly that, though she strove to apjiear joyous and appreciative, her daughter longed to leave the scene and return to the ho tel, where, as was well known, many of the officers were to spend the evening. Not until nightfall Lad the Twelfth Kissed by on its return from the march to the distant cemetery, and as they jogged along at ease one or two of the troop or platoou commanders, in answer t joyous hail from the sidewalk, liad reined out of column by old Berrien's permission and dismounted under the K)rtic, Imt Brewstei, smiling, h.-id shaken his head and gone ou with his blacks to the muddy cantonment far down nt the southern verge. Winifred was already dressed fr dinner. SLe had hastened to Ler room as soon as they returned from tbe Guthrie., and Mrs. Berrien made no comment She well understood that the girl's oe thought was to be ready to welcome if Le should come. There was no telling at what minute ho might be announced. And though they were not to leave the Lot. 1 uutil nearly seven, Winifred was ready at four. The mother heart yearned over her child as she saw how the shadows deepened in her dark eyes when the col umn went on ont of sight in the wintry gloaming, Brewster with it At that moment she could almost f hare Ler hnbat:d's idea of bringing the j young man to nia knees then and there. : What business had he playing the indif ferent in this ntttrlv unsoldierl v fashion? How dare He treat Winifred with cold ness? She had done him no wrong? Xot since that night of the last Lop at Paw nee, the t.ight the marching orders came. Lad there been opiKntuuity for the girl to seak to him ut alL Of course tbe major had been brusque and repellent and had virtually forbidden his further attentions; but, heavens, that was not Winifred's doing, and both the major and herself Lad endeavored to show Lim, without unnecessary allusion to the matter, that whatsoever might liave been the suspicions or impressions aroused by the singular conduct of that middle aged married flirt at Pawnee, they no longer entertained the faintest 111 opinion of Lim. Indeed. Mrs. Berrien never liad. Blue blooded Lerself, Ler faith in bon sang was deep rooted. She Lad always liked Brewster, but she was a loyal wife and would in no wise act counter to Ler Lusband's wishes. It was now, when Mr. Brewster seemed allowing Lis pride and resentment to prompt him to this undeserved and cruel wounding of her daughter's heart, that Mrs. Berrien first felt any nukindliness. She could Lave made him suffer for it, but that she knew it would hurt Wini fred as welL WitLout a word, but just so soon as the last of the yellow cape linings disappeared from view, Wini fred had turned from the parlor and again sought her room. Mrs. Berrien sent a bell boy for Mr. Randolph, who, having dismounted at the entrance, was standing, the center of a group of friends, in the marble floored office be low, and Randolph came np with the next trip of the elevator. "Do you go with us to the dinner at the A s' tonight, Mr. Randolph?" "No, Mrs. Berrien; 1 believe only those who are so fortunate ae to lw the basbands of certain ladies of the Twelfth are bidden. We are going to Lave a lit tle gathering here to see Curly oft." "And where docs Curly go and when?" "Back to Washington by the first train, Mrs. Berrien. He's been offered a detail at the war department" "How delightful that is for Mr. Brew ster! Why, the Twelfth is getting some little recognition after alL Up to this moment the general's welcome home is the only word we've had from a souL Then you'll all be here tonight will you?" "Most of us. Rolfe's here, too," laughed Randolph, "but he sat in a deep window during the procession and doesn't mean to show in public yet I'm told he wants to make np with Curly before Le goes tonight, but Curly won't let Lim." And Randolph knit Lis brows. "I wouldn't if I were Brewster. Wouldn't it be odd if they took the 6ame train, thongh? 1 suppose he won't care to exhibit that new cheek of his to Miss Guthrie. Will she be here after the dinner?" "I doubt it Mr. Randolph. Miss Guthrie is not at all welL She had a sinking f poll of some kind this after noon during the parade, and has not left her room since. Say to Mr. Brew ster for me that wo shall hope to see Lim before Le leaves, will you? Well be lock about ten o'clock." But it is after ten, long after, that now they are gathered in the parlors, and music, laughter and the sound of merry voices ring through the wide corridors. Winifred, the wistful look gone from her dark eyes, a soft flush on her choek, is standing near one of the high win dows, the center of a group of ladies and officers, among whom at this moment is Brewster, his right anu still in its sling. Though she strives after her first flutter ing welcome not to glance at Lim again, just now at least she cannot quiet con trol Ler eyes. She cannot but mark with shy delight Low her father's broad palm is laid upon her hero's shoulder as tho veteran trooper looks into the younger soldier's face with an expres sion she is thankful to see. All around the big, stiffly furnished, formal room, with laughter and with gladness old friends are meeting again for the first time in years one at least of the joys of our nomad army life. Tbe bnzz of con versation, the remarks of "Mr. Ridge way, who clings to her side, and the sweet thrilling strains of "Rigoletto" floating up from tho rotunda, fall npon listless ears. Winifred is striving to catch his words, for now her mother has joined them, and Let cordial, kindly voice mingles with those about her. She cannot hear what is said except in mere snatches, a word hero and there, but she can and does see that, though thoroughly courteous, Brewster is dig nified, almost unresponsive. WLen her father makes some jovial allusion to his narrow escape at the Porcupine and would apparently refer to Brewster's rush to the rescue, the latter seems to waive it aside and turn at once to another subject Why will he be so so unlike Lis old self? Hark! From the street boi v the ringing call cf the bcgle! Randolph pokes his head in througii the other win dow: "Come out, all of yon. Come and see them march away." It is that hand some regiment from tho 'Jieru City. And in a trice, men and women, they are pouring out upon tho roof of the portico. "Come along!" shouts old Berrien. "Come along! Let's give Vm a cavalry send off." And away Le goes at the heels of the throng. Co:::. Bcrenga ria, yon want to see this r.-g:mcat, 1 tell you. It's a beauty. An.', sr-h a band!" But Berengaria holds liv.i an instant Winifred, dear, your wraps are not here, and I fear it is too chilly for you." "Oh, I'll throw my cajie over her," bnrsts in Ridgeway. "Just the thing! Come, Miss Berrien. Where's your cape, Curly? You bring Mrs. Berrien, will yon?" And, rejoicing in Lis finesse, Mr. Ridgeway offers his arm. "My cajie's down stair:-, in the office." answers Brewster, shortly. "Yes. and whatever you do, Firewsler. don't you go out in tho night air with out it," quietly remarks lr. Ilolden at this juncture, as he follows the p.irty. "Orders are orders," laughs Mrs. Ber rien. "Sorry for yon, Mr. Brewster, but you'll have to see them through onr eyes. Yes, thank yon, Mr. Ridgeway," as she jiossosses herself of tliat young trooper's arm, "1 shall le very glad of your cajie." And Ridgeway. with one stupefied backward glance, recovers himself and got-s. Winifred is still sfcindiiig by the cur tained window, half hidden by the pro jection of the chimney and its marble mantel. Very, very lovely she is in her dinner toilet, a simple gown, clinging in its soft, creamy folds hbout her slen der form, a necklace of rare carls, a beautiful quaint old heirloom, looped below l.er fair, rounded throat, its pendant risii.g and falling rapidly, un evenly now, tor Ler heart is throbbing hard. One moment Brewster hesitates, casts a quick glance around, then steps forward to Ler side. "Possibly, we can see from this win dow. Miss Berrien," he says, as he raises the shade. And together they disap ear iuto the curtained alcove. But they cannot see. This window, like the other, looks upon the roof of the Hjrtieo, and the backs of their numer ous friends are visible, but not the street not tho departing soldiery in whom snch interest is felt It is chilly here by the cold, glassy barrier. A bright coal lire is blazing in the grate. Both have leen warned not to take cold, yet neither seems to think of that fire. "N- I'm afraid we can't see them here," says Winifred, inanely. "But won't you go and get your cape?" "I saw them today, and 1 can see them again tomorrow." "Tomorrow? Where?" And now the dark eyes, full of trouble, glance quick ly n p. near those sounds from below! The shrill voice of the colonel: "Column of fours. Break from the right to march to the left" The inevitable boom. boom, br-r-ooin, boora. boom, of tbe drums. Loud plaudits and cheers from the crowd. Lively applause from the por tico. Low voice are indistinguishable here at the window. Brewster pnllsi down the shade; it may shut out .tho noise, thin as it is, and so loiigiwoue can't see irnythiiig, why have it np? "Where?" she repeats. "1 thought they went east, and that we" But she geta no further. The pear! pendant is rising and falling like m storm toxxed shallop. Her slender finger are nerv ously twisting and untwisting her filmy handkerchief. Tramp, tramp, tramp, echoing the drum beats, the column of fours is striding away down the ap plauding thoroughfare. Then, as the band clears the left flank of the line and opens out across the street, joyons, spirited, ringing, it bursts iuto martial song. Where had she heard that intro duction before? Surely there's some thing familiar. But she has no time to think of that now. "1 supposed you never cared for detached service," she falters. "But is it your wound?" ' He shakes his head: I "Three months ago 1 would not have left the regiment Now 1 Am better anywhere away from it" Oh, Curly, Curly! "What fools these mortals be!" You should have sense enough to see how utterly the situation has changed. You ought to know that something more than gratitude has prompted all old Berrien's clumsy ef forts at cordiality. Yon ought to see by Mrs. Berrien's unaffected kindliness that the cloud has been dispelled. Why stand in your own light, a victim to this bumptious pride, striving to persuade yourself that had it not been for the for tunes of war her father would have in terposed today as sternly and positively as he did before and she she would probably have as meekly, tamely sub mitted as she did that bitter uight of parting at the gate?
