Here la a borne pawing our front steps, with a wounded officer clinging ronnd Lis neck," cried Ellen Carter, as she left the parlor windo wnere sue naa been sitting, ana ran hastily to the door, followed by her two old colored servants. "La Chile, what do it all mean? a horse actinir so hnman-like a knockin' dat way, I t'ink it muV lie one of onr own soldier boys, he is so shabby fled." They were none too soon, for the man apparently mortally wonnded, fell into a dead faint on the ground, while the blood was staining his well worn and tattered uniform. "Ob, he is dead!" exo'.aiineJ Ellen. "No, honey, I t'ink not, only faint like. Uncle i'omp and me will tote him in de house, and you, missy, take bis hoes ronnd to de stable. Good miss ing will do someting for de poo' yonug genelmen, I guess," said Mummy con solingly. Then the old couple gently picked up the stranger, and cnrrieJ him into t.ie front room, while Ellen led away the horse, who in spite of his evidently long run, and bad care, Hhowed spirit and breeding. After bis wound in the arm was dressed, and tied up, the man opened his eyes, and feebly inquired, "Where he was?" "With friends," he was assured, and some home-made wine was given him, which seemed to revive him a little, and enabled him to ask them to attend to his horse. "Dat ia-a genelman sho," -id uncle Pomp, "to tliink of bis critter fust, and dat is a mighty kuowin' boss any ways, to bring his poo' masHa to sich good quarters. 1 dun wonder what his name is 1 spec he one of the fuss famblies from some whar?" But the mystery of his identity was not to be solved for some time at least. The wonnded man again sank into un consciousness, which so alarmed Ellen that she begged uncle i'omp to take the horse, who had ere th s been fed and rubbed down, and go for the doc tor is the village close by. More anxions honrs, and then the verdict was pronounced: "Careful nursing, milk, and nourish ing food might bring him round. The bullet had evidently passed through his arm, shattering and breaking it A slight conenssion of the bruin was no donbt the canse of the fever, which with the exposure and loss of blood had rendered him very weak. lie might regain consciousness, he might never speak." The doctor would look in in the course of the week, but with the roads in the condition they were in, and the general uncertainty of things he thought they could manage without him. In fact, though he hardly admitted it to himself, he felt that a life more or less in. 'hose days haraly mattered. Hence this forlorn household was left with this fresh care. It was in November, 1SG4, and the war was drawing rapidly to a close. Poor Ellen Carter as it were, a waif of , a lost canse father, mother and two brothers had gone from her in the last three years. All the slaves had disappeared at the first proclamation of liberty, except faithful old Crecy and her husband Pompey, who were too mnoh attached to the family, de parted as their glory was, to leave them. Ellen's father had been killed at Bull Run in the very flush of victory; her mother always delicate had simply wilted under the shock, and when It g inald, the olt son va. borne home w'tlly wonnded from the fields of Front Koyal, she bad literally died of a broken heart, beeging with her last breath, that annt Crecy would not de sert Ellen and the youngest boy. Con rad had not then enrolled in the army, but carried away with the excitement of the times, and feeling thnt his ooun try needed all her sous, he joined Lee. Bloody Gettysburg was his first and last battle, and poor Ellen was bereft indeed. The old historic family place had imply been the cuniping ground for both armies, so with a few of their treasures saved from the wreck, Pcmp-y and Crecy brought their young Mistress and charge to this small old house, which years before had descended to the Carters from some departed rela tive. In this retired nook, near a dull vil lage these three remnants of a once lordly mansion, had spent the last twelve months. Uow they lived was a mystery to all nothing indeed, but the ingenuity and thoughtfalness of these old slaves, bad kept life in poor little Ellen. Piece by piece of family ailver had been disposed of for paper money, which mad'j jp in quantity what it lacked in qnality. Alas! even then it would not do to inquire too carefully into what the dishes were made of, which aunt Crecy Insisted upon calling "tliuner" and serving up in comparative style. Christmas now was nearly here, and till the unknown had made no sign of returning sense. a heavy slumber seemed to possess him, and only when he was aroused to take a little nourish ment, did he show any sign of life. His three devoted nurses were sitting in the parlor, appropriated for his bed room. Ellen was close to a half dead fire, wringing her cold bands, and wrapped in a thaw). He is pittin'real good lookin," mut tered Pompey, who was near the bed; "I dun t'ink he favors Massa Reggie." Why I do als ," said Ellen, glancing t the fair, high bred face With the brown wavy curls pushed off the fore head. "His eyes are jnst the color of poor Conrad's bright blue, if he would open them long enough to see them." "He gittin' fat too; it am the chicken sonp I guess, '" "Hded aunt Crecy. "Uh, auntie, I wanted to ask .you about that; where did you get th chicken?" "Neber yon mm' honey, uncle Pomp be tends to dat." , 'But, auntie, we must not steal, ana yon know we cannot afford any chickens, for they are a hundred dol lars a pair now." "Dat's no stealing, chile," said uncle Pomp; "what a body takes now, is only the war's approbation like. An de people, who brung old famblies like us, to dene here dome, mus' anser de consequenches. 1 ain't finis' no fanlt with dem Yankee folks. iHy meant well, no doubt, an' dey mus' sot mighty sto for us, a coiain' down, an' fittin' an' kilhn' to don make us free, but dey don' understas' dat quality pus eons don' like to be shot, an' have to sell dere pritty t'ings." "Tea," added aunt Crecy chiming in. "what dey wan' to free all de honory niggers for de Lawd'a sake? It makes some of dem too imperent like. But 1 dono sometime wonder Miser whether our sick solger ain't one of dem North erners in disguise." "Oh, auntie, don't," said Elien.shude during, for poor child, true to tho traditions of her time, and personally having suffered, and lost so much, it was only natural that she should feel very bitterly to what she considered the canse of all her tribulations. "Where am I?" again the weak voice asked from the bed, and for the first time reason shown in his face. They hurried to explain and the long lost name was discovered. "1 am Louis Randolph, Captain in the 23d Virginia Regiment." "Den," said Pompey, well up In the family history, "you am Missy's own third cousin. Your grandpas was brothers." "Ellen Carter," he exclaimed, "I saw you once when you were a little girl years ago, out why are yon here and alone?" "Never alone while I have Pompey and tjrecy, cried sue affectionately "Dut i am glad to see a relation once more. vvituionr ,peopie:so interested in each other, ther stovwas soon told, and Captain Rundolph then related his ad ventures, which bad all come in his memory now. in a skirmish, some six, or seven miles from the village, he had been wounded, and his men over powered bv a superior force, had scat tered. After riding awhile he had be come unconscious from the pain and loss of blood, and his horse with won derful instinct had brought him here. ne tuen eagerly inquired for his noble friend. Bnt although Louis Randolph nau no more relapses, lie was verv weak, i ue montns drilled on, and be was still unable to join Lee in Richmond as he had hoped. The Spring of "sixty-five" came. and with it, the hopelessness of the cause dawned upon all. Shock after shook tunned tiie country, and even pene trated to this remote little house. The terrible battles around Petersburg, the evacuation of Richmond, and finally the surrender of Lee's army, and the end had come. The war was over, but now in this most disastrous period of his country's uisiory, ijouis liandolpn could not be utterly miserable, for he had learned to love his gentle young nurse, and she too lelt that he was far more to her than any cousin. The faithful Pompey and Crecy saw with gladness a protected future for their darling child. They were married in June, as Louis was anxious to get back tu his home in Florida, where he hoped something had been still left to him. The old servants insisted upon accompanying mem, lor as tney understood freedom, it simply meant to serve tueir young mistress more faithfully. "Selma, the noble horse, also went with the party, as they each lelt they never could do without him. And so these cousins, who had lost so mnoh, had at least formd eaoh other.
