Tliera were people enough to onvy
Millicptit Haii(;liton when she whs
married to Uadelille Gates, rilie was
only a district school itenehcry at so
much a month,. without home or par
ents. He was a wealthy banker, wno

but to indulge Ins whims and ca nines
to llieir utmost ben I , and tlie world in
general announced hii diotiem 'that
Millv Ilauchton "linn tiuiio uncom-
niouiv well for herself.
15ut Milly did not look hnppy upou
that golden July tnorfvin. with the
sutisl.iue streaming throdglr the oriel

Bho was dressed in ft loose, white
CBtnltrio yrnpvr, looped and buttoned
with i ue. ami a stncrle neari arrow
upheld the binning masses of her love-
ly auburn hair. Her eyes were ueep,
liquid hazel ; her complexioti us soft
and radiant as the dimpled side of an
early peach;. and the little kid slip
pered toot that putted the velvut otto
mau beneath was as perfect and taper
ing as a sculptor could have wished
it.
Mr. Gates from his side of the dam
ask draped table, eyed her with the
complacent gaze nf proprietorship.
She was his wife, lie liked . her to
look well, just as he wanted his horses
properly groome,t and Ins conservato
ries kept iu order; and he troubled
himself very little about the shaduws
on her brow.
I'm li earnest,
Radclifle!" she
said, with etnphusis.
"So, I suppose, Mrs. Gates, and
the husband, lei.urely folding his pa
per a simi that the news within was
thoroughly exhausted ; "so I supposed.
But it isurt at all worth while to allow
yourself to get excited. When I say
u. thing, Mrs. Gates, 1 generally mean
it. And 1 repeat it, it you need
money for any sensible and necessary
purpose I shall be most willing and
happy to accommodate you."
Millicent bit her tull, red lower up
and drummed impatieutly on the table
with her ten restless hiiEers. "And 1
am to come meekly imploring you for
every five-cent piece 1 liappeu to
want?'
Yes, Mrs. Gates, if you prefer to
put the matter iu that light."
t'Kadcnne, she coaxed,, suddenly
changing her toue, "Jo give me an al
lowance!, don t care how mile!
Don't subject me to the humiliation of
pleading fur a little money half a dor
en times a day. lou are rich.
"Exactly, my dear," nodded the
Benedict, "and that's the way J niado
ray fortuue, by looking personally af
ter every penny, and 1 mean to . keep
it up." '
"lint think how I was mortified yes
terday wheu Airs. Armour came to
ask me if I could subscribe fifty cents
toward buying a hand carriage for our
waxherwoiuan's lame child ouly fifty
cents and I had tu say; 'Must ask my
husband to cive me the money wheu
he returns from the city,' for 1 had nut
even fitly cents nf my own.
"All very right all very proper!"
raid Mr. Gates, playing with the h gc
rope ui gold that hung across, his
chest in th guise of a watch chain.
"Other ladies are are not kept pen
niless." "That rests entirely between them
and their huttbauds, Mr. Gates."
"I will not endure it," cried Milly,
starting to her feet, with cheeks dyed
scarlet aud indignantly glittering eyes.
, Mr. dates leaued back in hi vbair
with provoking complacency.
"I will have money I" laid Milly da-,
fiantly.
"How are you going to get it my
dear?" retorted her spouse, with nu
agravating biuile playing arouud the
corners of his mouth. "You hive
nothing of your own absolutely
nothing. The money is all mine, aud
I mean to keep t."r..
, Milly est down again, 'twisted her
pocket ' handkerchief around and
around. She was not prepared with
an immediate answer.
"And now Mrs. Gates," said the
banker, after a moment or two of over
whelmins silence, "if you'll be cooj
e.uouch to stitch that button on in
aY-
clove, I'll go down town. I have
ready wasted too much time."
rjo the verbal pasMge-at-arms ended
and Mi lv fx It that so far sue ' was
worsted.

aa eiegaut pewtiiirouehe,. drawn by
two lougtailed chestnut horse, all. -a
glitter with plated harness, aud turned
away, almost wishing that she was
Millicaut liaughtou once again, be
hind her desk iu the little red school
house. She looked around at. tha inlaid
furniture, Aubusson carpets and satin
window draperies, and thought, with a
passionate pang, how little all this
availed her.
,"U'W'-"'--' 1 ""IJSa
(A!
DECEMBER 10, 1871.
"It's sfj prnvoking i f Kadelifli)!'"
she murmurs;.!. "I've half a mind to
ga out to service,- or c'ressmaking, or
something -for I must have money of
my own, and I Will !" ' .
Just then a servant knocked at the
door with a basket and ay note.
"An old lady in a Shaker bonnet
anil a one-horse i wagon left it," anid
the girl, with a sparely disguised litter.-
"She wouldn't corae in, although
I invited her." .,.(.'
Mrs. Gates opened the note. It ran,
in a st it!', old-fashioned caligrnphy, as
if the pen were an unwonted imple
ment in the writers hand:
Dear Mili.y The strawberries in
tne south redder lot are just ripe,
where you used to pick, 'cm when yon
were a little gal; so Pe'n'olope picked
a lot, itnd we made bold to send them
to you, for the snkeof old times, ns
Aunt Arininta is going to the city to

Affectionately, vour I'riond,

The tears sparkled in the bride's
eyes. J? or nil instant it seemen to ner
ns if she were A merry child again,
strawberries in the tfolden rain of a
... . ,
July sunshine, with tho scent of wild
roses iu tho air and the to rule of th
trout stream- close by, and, as she lift
ed tho lid of the great hnsliet of crim
son, luscious fruit and inhaled the de
licious pei'l'iiine. a sudden idea darted
into her heau. ,
"Isow 1 will, have money of my
own I" she cried out, "money that I
will earn myself, and thus be-indepen
dent I"
Half an hour uflcnvord Mrs. Gates
came downstairs, to the infinite amaze
tnent of Kachel, the chambermaid, and
L.iuisn, the parlor maid, in a brown j
ginghatu dress, a white pique sun bon
net aud a bssiiet on her arm.
"Won't you have the carriage,
ma'am?" asked the latter, as Mis.
Gates beckoned to a passing omnibus.
"No, I won't," said the bauker's
lady.
And within the city limits she
alighted aud begau work in good earn,
est. ' ' , .
"Strawberries! who'll buy my wild
strawberries?" rang out her clear,
shrill voice as she walked along light
ly balancing the weight on her arm,
and enjoying the impromptu masque
rade as only a spirited woman cau.
Mrs. Prowler bought four quarts for
preserving at . twenty-five cents per
quart.
"Wild berries have such a flavor,"
said the old ludy reflcct:vely ; "and
'taint oIUjU you get .'em hers in the
city. I s'pose you don't come rouud
reg'lar, young woman ?',
".No, 1 don t ma am.
"Because you might get some, good
customers," said Mrs. IVowler. '
Miss tu'iiintlna Hall, who keeps
boarders, purchased two quarts; Mrs.
Captain Barhary took one; and then
Millicent jumped on the cars aud rodu
wearily dowu (own.
"I've got $1.7i5 of my own, at til
events,'' said the to herself.i f
"Strawberries! Nice, ripe, wild
strawberries! buy my strawberries!"
Her sweet voice resounded through
the halls ot th? great marble building,
on w hobo first floor tho great bauk was
situated.
It chanced to be a dull interval of
business juts then, and the cashier
looked up with a yawn.
"I say, Billy James," said ho to the
youngest clerk, "I have an idea that a
few strawberries wouldn't go badly.
Call in the woman ?"
Billy, nothing loth, flipped ofT his
stool with a peu behind his ear, aud
scampered out into the hull.
So Milly sold another quart.
. As she was giving change for the
cashier's dollar bill, the president him
self came in, bustling and brisk as
usual. . ,
"Eh? What? Now?" barked out
Mr. Kadclilt'e Gates. "Sliawherries?
Well, I don't care if I take a few my
self. Here, young woman, how do jrou
sell them?" - - -
Millv pushed hack her sun bonnet
and executed a sweeping courtesy.
"Twenty-live cenis a quart, sir, if
you please," purred tho with much liu
miliiy. The president dropped his paper of
strawberries on the flutir.
"Mia. Gates!" he ejaculated.
"The same, sir," said Millicent.
"May I venture t.. inquire" -
"Oli, yes!" said Milly, "you mayiu
quire as much as you please. 1 need
ed a little money, and 1 am earning
it. Pee how tiiuck I have already;"
aud she triumphantly displayed her
roll of crumpled stamps. "The straw
berries were all my own, sent to me
tUI0 llioilllli I'J UlU
and I'm selling them to get au income
of my own.
"ou. ma'am, leljing strawberries
through the streets?"
- Millv made a second courtesy,
"Extreme necessities justify extreme
measures. Mr. Gates," she said, sauci
ly. -"I earned my own living before I
4 . .1l

S2 PER ANNUM.
Mr. Radi liflTo Gates looked uneasily
around at the crowd of giping clerks.
"James,' siiid he, "call me a buck.
Mv dear, let me lake you home."
"Not nntil I have sold the rest of
mv Itrawhefrie.x," saucily retorted the
young wile.
" "11 take 'eirt at any price!" im
patiently exclaimed the hunker.
CihIi down?" '
"Yes; anything, everything only
come out of this" crowd." .,
So Mr.'' and Mrs. (fates went home;
and that evening the hunker agreed to
make Ins wile a regular nl.wwance .it
so much per week, to be paid iwn
every M:nday morning ut the' break
fast tuble.
- "Hut , we'll have no more selling
strawberries, said Mr. Gales nervous
ly.
"To be sore not," said Milly. "All
I wanted was a little money of my
own." i
And Mr. Rudeliflo Gates respected his
wife all the more because sho hud con
quered hi in iu a Ikir buttle. .
TEN YE A KM AV.O.
On the 13th ofOctohtr, 1803, the
Provost Marsha) of Williamsburg,
Lieutenant .W, W. Disosway, vnsshnt
dead by a Soldier, 'lumen James Boyle,
whom he had ord.Ti d under arrest for
disorderly conduct. The muiderer
was immediately seized, ironed,: and,
pending hi trial, confined in Fort
iMagrusler, an exlensive earthwork
about a mile below the town of Will
iamsburg. About this time word was brought
to the headquarters of tho Uui-m ar
my that Ivjcliinond was practically ile
feiiselesp. The regular troops, it was
said, had all been sent to the front.
and mily a few home guards kepi
watch nver the city.
An attack was immediately deter
mined on, nnd , the scattered truops
were drawn together for that purpose.
A brigade of infantry, three batteries
of artillery and four regiments of cav
alry comprised the expedition. They
wpre .moved .cautiously, and rendez
voused in the woods on the road lead
ing from Yurktowu to Williamsburg
Then llwy pushed on, a general order
having be. n read to the 1 roups inform
ing them that they were to move uu to
Kieh'iiotid.
There were the strongest reasons for
believnii that I'Y IicIiil' cautl nis, bold
and expeditious, the cavalry could en
ter Xtichmoud, liberate the prisoners
confined iu Lihby and Castle Thiinde'
capture. 1'ieaidcui Davis and l he offi
eer ol his government, seize the treas
ury, destroy the vust deposit of sup
plies, burn the bridges acrots the
James, and otherwise weaken the tie
lenses of the ciiy. Certaiu officers aim
equadroiis were assigned . to perform
certain portions nt the work ot da
strurlioti, and Capi:ol square designat
ed as the general rendezvous, when the
work should have been thoroughly
accomplished, On the 21 or 3d of
February? the murderer Boyle, wlmsi:
trial had heeu tor some reason delay
ed, escaped iu the night from his pris
oil at Fort Magruder, through the con
uivance of one of his guards.- Search
was immediately made in all iliieo
tions, and every possible ifl.irt made
tor Ins recapture, lsut all exertions
were fruitless.
In the meantime the expedition was
pushing ou' to the point of Its ilestma
tioti. In divsrt the euetnv s attention
General Sedgwick's cops had been
thrown across the Uapidun and had
engaged a large portion of Lee's or
mv. and (he raiders were uilmok-st
ed. At daylight on the morning
the 7th ot I'chruary the iniautry
reached Baltimore Cross Koads. where
they made a brief halt for rest. At
the same time, however, the extreme
cavalry advance hud reached Bottom
Bridge, wi'hin thirteen miles of Rich
luund. It was intensely dark when
they reached there, uud u careful re
coiinoissance showing that the bridg
had been stripped Its planking it was
resolve J to wait until daylight.- 'II
strictest orders were issutd again light
intr fires or making unnecessary tioise
and pickets were throwuoiit in all d
reel 10110. Tim condition of the bridge
caused the more siitrucioi.s nliicer no
little uirtasiiiess. They saw iu it an
evidence that the expedition hud bei
discovered,, iu which event surprire
was impossible and success doubllul
The army rested tin llieir arms lis i
tkiilly ns possible, waiting and watch
lut; for the tir.-t shimnieriiit: of d.tuu
full of confidence and hope. Bui alas!
by the dim liL'lit of the the coiniu
day the outer pickets discerned u ho,
line of shadowy figures filing (low
the road, on the opposite bank of the
stream, and taking position to oppose
the passage of the bruise. An old
earthwork, which hud bceu thrown up
by McClellau during the Richmond
campaign of the year prcvioui, soon
shielded them from view, and, a no
enemy could be seen through the mists
which hung over tho little valley, when
the balunce of the army came up the

reported discovery of the pickets was -not
believed.
The brigade was speedily mounted
nnd put in .motion. But scracely had
the ad snce guard trussed the brow
of (he .' little hill and commenced the '
descent toward the ruined bridge.when
a pull' of white smoke was, observed
beyond the idream, instantly followed
by the deafening boom nf a gun and
the wild shriek of a shell.- !'lhat can
non fell t destroy e. I in an instant all
hone of surprising Richmond ; and
being too weak .n numbers io hope, for
it anccess'iil assault, the expedition
was' reluctantly abandoned, and tho
troops, weary, disappointed and dis
heartened, returned leisurely .to- Wil
liamsburg. , , , ,, ,..
For it long tinie it was a matter of
profound wonder how the secret, of the
expedition was carried to Riclrnnnd.
Muii ot high rank were suspected, and
more than one staff officer was drop
ped from tho rolls because of a sus
picion "that he might have imparted
the information so valuable. At last,
however, the facts tame out; and here'
in is the really curious part of this
chapter-on the history of our late war.
Boyle, tha escaped nmnierer, hud ob
tained his liberty 'just as the expedi
tion was collecting ' Frini the guard
who connived al . his escape' he hud
learned the prevalent rumors of neon
emplared dash on' Richmond. , In his
flht which wns toward the threatened
city, he gained nrhre information, and
reached Kichinoml soon enough l
give timely alarm, uud strong detach-
incuts from Lice a army were hurried
forward to defeat thei movmeut. By
such a singular circumstance was
Richmond saved. Bovle enlisted in
he Southern service,' Init of his suhse-
cut life nothing ie known. It is
iswilile that he yet i lives, and mar
learn from this paper the injury he in
