A STORY OF THE BOODEB.
"The rebels are coming again, and this time
they will do as more harm, .I.am afraid " These
Words were spoken by an old man, m a Jew, trou
bled mice:.
"I'm not afraid, father. I enjoyed looking at
their brown faces and dirty uniforms last time they
were here.- A motley crew they were, but there
were some handsomefaces among them."
" You will never learn to look' at life seriously,
Annie. CEn my daughter trust those who have
ben faithless to the best government this world
efer knew t I despise - these traitors, and trem
ble when they enter our State. They will teach
us•yet that we should, for our
,own honor, have
kept them out. !Clod grant, my child, that they
may spare us the: little we have; it is not long I
shall want it." =
" Trouble comes room enough, father ; don't let
us borrow it. You look tired and anxious. Go
to sleep and forget these rebels; I 'don't believe
they are coming. and if they do they will pass our
store; there is too little in it to waste their time
upon."
The old man kissed his daughter, but left the
room with a sad, troubled face. Annie Brown..
leaned her head upon her hand, and seemed ab
sorbed in thought. They must have been pleasant,
thoughts for a smile lit-up her ; fair face and once
she laughed right merrily.
" Poor dear father. I wish he was not so help
less. Pm not afraid, but rather want to see the
dirty traitors again."
Annie Brown was a .fragile-looking girl, small
and very youthful in appearance, with soft!brown
_eyes, and a face whose beauty consisted in its ever
changing expression. She sat still for a longtime,
and gradually the smile faded into sadness, and a
weary expression stole over her face. She was
an only child. Her father was old and infirm--;
her anther's time was occupied in household du
ties hers in attending the little store that formed
their whole support. When Annie lay down that
night, it was not to sleep; a vague fear home over
her, and she lay thinking of her father's,. words.
Annie had known enough of the trials of poverty
to make her chug to ,the little they had; and she,
offered up as an earnest.prnyer that God would
'save that to them. She had sank into an uneasy
sleep toward morning, from which she was awa
kened by strong. yoice,a beneath tho anildow. - -
, Springing lightly out of bed, she gently opened the
shutters, and listened to the speakers.
- Demand five hundred thousand dollars, and if
they can't or won't pay it, the town must be burned
according, to the General's orders. Let us be
quick; it is an ugly job, and the sooner it is over
the better."
, These were the words which fell on Annie's
car. There was no mistaking them, and in' the
- early dawn she could distinguish that the speakers
all wore the uniform of officers. With-a heavy
heart she dressed herself, then quietly deecendiug
to the store below, she. tied all the money in the
Arawers into a small bag, and fastened it around
her, Then noiselessly she went about the house,
filling every vessel she could find with water, and
tarried them into the store. ThAvork was just
finished when her father entered!
"Why, Annie child, what are you doing!" he
asked, vainly trying to conceal kis alarm.
- "Preparir . ig for the - rebels, father," she ansvrer
ed smilingly, for no matter what sad and anxious
thoughts Annie Brown might have, her father al
ways saw a smiling face. It was a long time be ,
fore Annie should tell what she had learned,: but
her father's earnest questioning drew it from hew
and when the old man heard the ominous words
hope and strength seemed to leave him. His had
been a weary life of struggling and disappoint
ment—of little gain and many losses; and now,
in the sunset of life, whedhe had gathered a few
comforts into his little home, lie was to lose all.
Annie turned from her work to comfort her fa
ther. Gently she led hith intothe little back room,
and tried to infuse some of her own brave, hope
;Ml spirit inks- his, hut in vain. Old age cannot
look upon things with youth's - hopeful eyes.—
'While Annie talked, suddenly red lights glanced
in at the windows, and the atmosphere grew thick
with smoke. -She left her father, and hurrying
!to the door a scene burst upon her that beggars
:description. The whole town was blazing. As
far :lathe eye could see, it was tire—fire every
where. Through' the dense smoke she could dis
.tinguish hundreds of figures wildly running to and
fro. Them were heavy sobs—voices earnest and
pleading—there were wild shrieks, and children's
-screams of terror, mingled with the tramp of sot
dijrs and the crackling of the flames.
As the bewildered girl stood looking at - the fear
ful scene, three soldiers came and ordered her tee
leave the house. Sho.-fixed her dark eyes upon
;them, and h.t. , ,god, for her liither's sake, that their
- little home- might be saVed. They laughed at her
, pleading, and' at the tears that were coursing
down her cheeks. She saw that tears and words
were vain, and as they threw in the-burning torch
' es, slii!:sprang,to her buckets of water, and with
' a strength and courage that seemed superhuman,
she extinguished torclrafterierch.
The rude soldiers looked in so ouder at the brave
girl, and would have left her. in the house she had
so nohly saved, but for one more brutal than the
rent. Drawing a pistol from his brea.t. he ex
claimed with an oath.
"Put out another torch. woman, and your life
shall pa) for your boldness." 1;
•Annie neither saw nor heeded the pistol, though
it was pointed at her, and the fierce, angry face
of the soldier told that he was in earnest.
Another torch v• an flung upon the floor ; another
harket of water extinguished its red glare. There
wag a Wight flash, a loud, quick report. The
soldiers paused in their_ work to see the brave
herfall. But there she stood, her checks flushed,
her e 3 en glaring defiance, and reaky to extinguish
another torch.
"Pour on the' cluophene, bop, and let us burn
the fiend." •
The conunitod was oho ed, nod the lihite flame
spread over the store the brave had tried to
once.
"Leave this place, 'soldiers," said a voice of
authority, and a tall officer entered the doer.
"Too deserve your-home, brave girl," and,
heizing bucket after bucket, he threw tbo water
on the flamei that were* rapidly gaining head
way. . '
Some one to help her, Annie's spirits rose again
and together they worked, the officerunly-paus
ing to look at the bright eyes and limbed face of
the brave.and now beautiful girl. They worked
long and steadily, and saved the littlihouse, bat
the eontentA of the store were gone. Annie lean
ed languidly against the door, and gazed sadly,
around her. Bending over. the dreary girl, the
officer whispered.
"Tell me; your mime, noble girl ; mustge now,
but you shall see me again."
"My name is Annie Brown," she num/mod; and
who must T thank for saving my home 7"
"It-was a rebel, sweet girl, who you shall see,
again; he has saved your•life and honor, too.
Farewell."
'Annie could see the tall figure but a foment,
fur it was lost in the Wyk smoke that now cov
ered everything. Sh(!lturned from tha,bioo.

"The store is gene, de i tr father, but our house
is saved," she said, ehee
Tears ionia down the old raaji't cheeks, as he'
drew the little dreary to his heart -
And Annie felt more t ,
repai4,for herlabora,
when her father proudly smiled upon her through,
his heart.
A week of fearful suffering followed that day of
fire. Neighboring toms sent bread to tbe' firm—
ishing, and clothes to the naked. • -But thbuaanda -
were houselees and beggared who hadlived in lux
ury and taste. They- lingere,} among the rats,
hopeless- and helpless, clinging -to the blackened
walla, and :Loving them because -they had been
homes. • •
Annie Brown's home was • a refuge for many .
who kuew_not where to lay their heads; and the
little she had saved was freely shared with those'
who had nothing.
A week of toil, privation,' and suffering had
passed, ho: bravely- Annie Brown had borne it.
She had se ,, tbvil and comforted those aronadher ;
and had Lit tire cravings- of hunger that others
might LOt suffer. But even Juinie.s - courage and
bravery was commencing to fail. She sat upon
her little back porch vainly trying to cheek the
tears that would vane, and :thinking sadly and
hopelessly of the future. -
All were asleep within the 'low house, and she
satwondering what she could do to keep hunger
and wretchedness from those she loved so well.
A weary prospect lay before- her, and a prayer
met° her lipa that God would teach her *hat
to
The prayer- was scarcely offered, when she
heard a little, quick_ step, and looking up, she,
saw a tall form - beside her. She could scarcely
distinguish it in. the darkness, butes the fignre
turned toward her, the light from the windowfell
upon him, and Annie recognized the officlr who
had helped - her rave her house.
He put his finger to his lips and whispered: .
" I am alone, .Annie, and have risked every
thing to see you again."
She did not speak, and ho eat down beside
her.
" Are you glad to see me, Annie ?". he asked.
"You have saved my life;'rind all that' face I
owe to yon; but," she added, "that is vary little,
and God, only knows what we . are to do, It
would have been kind, -soldier, to have taken life
too, when all else were gone. We are beggars,
and you have made us Bo." „
He did - not seem to notice Annie's bitter words,
but drew her to him. At first, she resisted, but
his strong arm; was around her,and there Wa t i
something ih his manner that soothed the weary;
girl. He told her of his home—of its beauty, its
wealth, and luxury ;he said he had come to offer
it to her. He told her of his love; that .she
would be to him more thaw all else ; that he
would shelter had comfort her, and she should
never know sorrow, or trouble, or weariness.
Annie listened to the strange sweet words.—
Her life had been given to others. She had
borne her burdens alone and unmermaringly, but
life seemed often weary and fall of care. The
stranger knew this; for he could read woman's
heart, and he could whisper words that would
soothe and win.
Hour after hour flew by ; and still Annie listen
ed to his glowing descriptions, and low, loving
words. It was past nndnight, and the officer's
voice sank lower as be whispered:
" Annie, will you go with tee, trust me, and all
I have told you shall be yours."
" Where shall I go 1" she asked.
" To thg sunny South, and be my little, loving
bride."
He drew a glittering ring from his finger and
pat it upon hers. Ho turned, thatthe light might.
fall upon the diamond. it fell upon his face. It,
was a htuidsome face;. but as Annie gazed, there
was something the' re that made her tremble. She
knew nothing of that world beyond her home.—
'She had listened and believed the honeyedwords
that had been whispered. But there islittle affin
ity between purity and vice, and one look had
roused Annie from her dream °floe, and brought
back the realities of life. She drew her hand
from his, and taking the ring from heffinger, said:
" I cannot go.• God bless you, soldier, for what
you've done ; but I cannotgu with you."
The calm, decided tone surprised the lover, but
he did not quit his suit. Every art of persuasion
was used, but in vat;-. The more earnest he grew,
the more decided Amiie became, and when he
found persuasion Was of no avail, he resorted to
force:
Annie's brace spirit rose as the danger became
more imminent. Her hand was upon the door,
and in calm, measured tones she said :
" Soldier, yob have been kind: for this I thank
you, but I blush that I have listened so long to a
traitor—that I have trusted even for an hour-one
who believes neither in faith or in honor. Go
back to your comrades. and remember that weak
woman, alone, and in the dead of night dared to
say she scorned a traitor."
" You; shall pay for your scorn, proud girl: if
love is Sweet, reveng is sweeter."
• He drew a pistol from his breast, and fired.
Annie 8t0; his design, and moved quickly, but the
shot pa.isol through her arm. The noise roused
the houe, and they hurried to the•door.
Anniflwas alone. The traitor and coward was
gone. She was pale and faint from the loss of
blood, but it proved only a flesh wound. And as
i.he looks at it now, she tells those who come to
hear hoW she was saved, "that a traitor may be
kind, but he never can be trusted."
CAFTITHE OF HARRY OILXIOR
The dapture was made by Major Young, of
Gen. Shridan's scouts, who was in command of
twenty-five picked men. Major Young had been
out on a scout for three conhatious days , before
the capture-of Gilmor, tracking and capturing
Rebel soldiers enddifferent points.
Oa Sunday morning 'Major Young learned that
Barry Gilmer had been in the country, in the vi
cinity of, Moorefield, having received authority
from Gn. Early to Consolidate McNeil's and
Woo4lBoll'B Rebel guerilla companies with his
own battalion, witu the ulterior design of raiding
on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad during the
winter. and to take part in other operations dur
ing the ensuing spring. The consolidation did
net
. plewle the officers or men of the two nom
panics named. Their dissatisfaCtion was
ex
pressed to Gilmer, and at the time of his capture
he was On a visit to an influential person to get
his assistance in the inntter.
Major!Young tracked 'the wily guerilla chief to
a place near the South Fork river,. three miles
west of Moorefield. So accurate Was his infor
mation in regard to the whereabouts of Gilmor,
that it came down to the question elf which one
of the two houses he Was in—one occupied by a
matt named Randolph, and the other by a man
hamed Williams—each a short distance from the
other. Guards were placed on both, while Major
_Young in -person started to search Randolph's
house. As ho approached the stable he saw a lit
tle colorbd servant girl, who stopped on seeing
the officers. Re inquired of her whose horses
those were in the stable, and did 'they belong to
Soldiers? She replied that they were not soldier's
horses--they belonged to Major Gilmor. - This
answer Was satisfactory to Major Young, and he
at once Started for the dwelling house. and was
met at the door by the -landlady. To an inter
rogatory!put to her as to who was in the house 7
she said no person except members of our own
family. The answer tvas unsatisfactory, and a
search of the premises \Yeas commenced, when, on 4
reachingi a room on the second door, the door was
gently opened, when Major Gilmer and his cous

Major Young in an instant was at the bed aide,

and then asked Gihnor, who he was. He replied'
"Major Gilmor," ,wad then added to his confront - ;
