But neither ho nor tho Major's old comrade knew tho real reason of his last outburst against tho Guard in question; for that reason, in tho form of a square sheet of uoto paper, lay in tho Major's insi lo pocket, itud it con sisted of hastily written but eutirely earnest ollVr tor his daughter's hand in mnrriage. And tho young man who took such a liberty was nono other than tho First Lieutenant of tho Governor's Guards. Lieutcuant llalloway was not a dis agreeablo young man ; in fact, ho was quite tho opposite. Ho camo from tho South aud of a soldiering family, his father having lost his lifo at Cold Harbor during tho Civil War; ho was interested in a well established busi ness situated in tho heart of tho city; his family pedigree was a long one, and his own character and record upotlebs. "Ilo doesn't want my answer for n week, doesn't ho?" muttered tho old soldier, as ho marched on homeward. "Well, ho Bban't get it! I'll think it over, as ho ssks me to, and cot uiako a hasty decision, but I cm tell him right now what it will bo. No, em phatically 1" Had tho Major's good littlo wifo been living herself, sho would havo pointed out long ago tho possibility of of this contingency arisiug, and would have prepared him for tho blow, which must fall some day, aad leitvo him childless, whilo noma enterprising young man gained a wife; but Mrs. Major had died mauy years ago, and left tho Major with the pretty child to bring up alone. From a vivacious, headstrong, pretty little girl, Dorothy hud grown up into a beautiful young woman, with Per mother's sweet faco and her fath er's will and determination. Ko to-day, when he found the letter waiting fer him at the club, and to be forgiven for railing against anything, spoeially tho Guards, when it was re membered that one of them was tho vandal, bent upon robbiug the eld soldier of his daughter. Entering the open door of his baud some house, he culled a cheerfully as ho could I "Dorothy, daughter I" "Yes, daddy," came the answer from somewhere upstairs, aud tho nest moment tho face ho loved pooped over the banister and a stu'ill foreliuger was shaken wsruinglr at him. "Ton minutes late, sir," sho cried, trikg to be very sew re; "what does it nieab?" Then sho ria down tin stair;, her pretty face dimpling with happy smiles. "It means, little girl," repliel tho Major, slowly, taking her bright face between his two kindly old hand, "it means that tny daughter has gone" "Gone where, daddy?" said she, af ter one glance at him, for she felt what wan coming. "Over to the enemy," returned the Major. Then, na they went arm in arm into the library, ho added : "Dorothy, Dorothy, to Ihi-k of yon doaerting at thin time." "Hut I'm not deserting dear, I'm not I" buo cried. Then alio asked, slowly : "What what did ho say?" "Xothinq;," replied the Major, ahortly; "ho wasn't coldier enough for that, no ho wrote it." "It wns not hectnio he wasn't sol dier enough, papa, but beeaitso he didn't havo time. And now you cull him a coward and and ho'a up to where thoso wicked miners nro, and ho may bo killed " lint the rent was unfinished, for the tears had welled up iiito tho pretty eve, and tho next minute tho eotitritu Major was apologies and declarations of better behavior in tho future. "Ho in't a coward, daddy," mur mured DoroMiy from tho depths of the Major' Hhonlder, where tthc hud taken refuge npiili, "r.n 1 " ".My dear child, I didn't ray he was," rcmoiistrittod th harassed old Holdier; "and you lntHtu't cry any more." Hut all through supper, though she (hutted and laughed ho Illicitly, tho Major's old heart was still n trillo sore, for ho kejit snying to himself: "Only half her Iov) is mine, and tho rent belongs to a Governor's Guard 1" That tiixht, after tho evening had worn awiiv and tile daughter of tho house hi 1 gollO to bed, the Major cliiubod tho stairs, when he heard it putter of small bare feet coining along the entrv, and tbo next moment a white-robed littlo figure stojd beuido him. "You ann't antrrv with me, nro him lovingly, "mid you won't feel bally about it, will you?" "Of courso 1 won't," repliel tho Major, laughingly, "but run back to be I, my dear girl, or you'll catch cold. Of course, you couldn't expect me to feel very gay," ho ad led again, "when I'm about to lose a daughter now could you?" "Hut you aren't, she answered quickly; "you're going to !la 1 a sju Tom says so himself." Two days later tho Guards wero in the city again. The niht thiy reached the mines an attack hud been made upon them by tho dct-peruto strik ers, and thou.'h they were taken bv sur prise, their ofliccrs had not lost their head-. Using a row of salt bags as breastworks, they received tho charge and repulsed tho enemy. Thou the Guard had captured fifteen of their prmoipsl ruou, driven the rest back to their homes, and waited uutil tho Sec ond Hejnmeut arrived on tho scene to relievo them. Tho latter having ap peared at last, tho Guards were or dered homo with their prisoners. Tho papers were, of course, full of tho story of tho fight, and tho fact that Lieutenant llalloway was mentioned as ono of tho most efficient and col lected officers there, did not tend to harden tho Major against his would be son-in law. Ho had also received a painful, though not serious wound, in his left arm from tho knifo of a murderously inclined miner, which necessitated his carrying the arm iu a "ling Later in tho day nil sorts of rumors began to fly about tho town concern ing tho injured feelings of tho miners iu regard to tho imprisonment of their ringleaders, aud as night came on, tho report that they would como to tho city in force nud endeavor to tako their meu from the jail was gaining ground every minute. "That is nonsense, plain and sim ple," said the Captain of tho Guards when approached by nnowepapcr man on the subject. "The miners havo had n dose they will not soon forget. Tho only danger tho city now stands in is from meu out of work, who are more desperate by hunger aud want, aud who will take to robbing if they cannot find any other way to livo." And that very night tho Captain's words were proven. Tho Major and Dorothy had been to the theater and wero rotnruing home. The night was warm aud soft, and tho moon shono so bright aud clear that the old soldier and his pret ty daughter walked on another square beforo goiug in to enjoy tho night. Tho Major was about to say something about tho stillness of it all, whou from behind them there came a light trea I, and the next moment, without the slightest warning, tho kindly old sol dier was staggering forward from a stunning blow on his boa 1. With a little cry of terror Dorothy caught at him as he fell, but she was quickly graspod from behind, and a lioarso voice whispered in her ear : "Serouiu, an' I'll choke the life out o' ye!" "Go through his pookets, Jim," continued the fellow, who wan now niudiug Dorothy's arms to her sides; "he won't come to right away, but wo'vo got no time to lose." As ho spoke, he picked up tbo short, heavy stick he had used with such murder ous effect a moment before, and as ho stooped to do so Dorothy sprang away from him and dashed toward the cor ner. With a muttered oath th man rushed after her. Despite her clinging skirts and im prisoned arms, the brave girl had gained the corner and was just turning down it, however, while her pursuer was still several yards away, when she run plump into a tall, soldierly ycuug tnnn, who was coming tip tho street with a long, easy stride. "What why, Dorothy you I" he exclaimed, M ho looked down into her white face; but ho got no further, for the man was upon them. With an other fierce exclamation of disgust and anger, for he recognized the Lieu tenant as he turned the corner, and utterly dospcrate as to the conse quences, ho threw himself at tho young office. . llalloway stepped quietly aside as ho saw him coming; then, as tho footpad missed his aim and hurled himself past the Lieuten ant, the latter struck him a sharp, hard, scientific blow just bolow the car, and doubling up like An empty sack ho fell to thi pavement without a sound, Then tho young soldier sprang to Dorothy's side. "What iu Heaven's namo is tlio meaning of this?" ho cried, freeing her nr.us. "There nro two of them ho struck papa back there!" sho answered, pointing to tho spot where tho other highwayman was still bonding over tho Mijor. Without stopping to question her further, her lover ran quickly up the dark street, nnd rondo out the prostrnto form of tho Major nnd tho kneeling one of his Assailant. As he came upon them, tho latter sprang to his feet, nnd seizing his own club ho struck nt tho Lieutenant vic iously, but tho soldier was too quick tor him. Like a flash of light tho slender, tough sword leaprd from its scabbard, and us tho man's blow fell it was par ried neatly by tho oflicer's only weapon. Again tho stick wns raised nnd swung nboiit his head, nnd ns tho man moved his face camo into tho sin gle patch of moonlight that bhono through tho thick boiwhs above, nud llalloway laughod grimly ns ho recog nized his antagonist the mnu who had wounded him at the miues. "So it is you, is it, Scarry?" said tho olllcer. There was no reply to Hallow-ay's remark, but faster nud faster rained the blows of the frenzied man. At the fust clash of woo l nud metal tho Major had opened his eyes nud struggling to his feet ho leaned ngiinst one of the trees near by nn I watched the litllo battle goiug on be foro him. "I ntu sorry to hurt you, my friend," said Lieutenant llalloway, coolly, "but I really think you've done enough to-night ; nnd in order to render you harmlcst I'll have to " Ho did not finish the sentence iu words, but beforo the other could re cover from his last misdirected stroke ho was reeling backward with a sting ing blow from tho flat of tho Lieuten ant's sword. Tho Major, though still dazed, held out his hand to Tom, nud wrung it heartily. "I hopo that villain did not hurt you badly, Major," said ho; "and ns soou ns I find a policoman and got theso two pleasing individuals in the hands of the law beforo they come to themselves, I'll bo back t3 help you home, if you need it." And without waiting for an answer, he hurried down tho street, soon returning with n city ollioor whom ho met sauuteriug leisurely along in their direction. Then ho nud Dorothy and tho Major went homo. Though tho Lieutenant's sweetheart had kept back her tears nil along there was n suspicious moisturo iu her pretty eyes ns they passed into tho hall, but sho was smiling bravely, lieverthedess. As tho old housekeeper bustled olTto get something to put on tho Major's wound which luckily was not n serious one tho tnreo stood looking ut each other beneath the chandelier for n minute. Then tho Major took tho Lieutouaut's hand onco ngain, and put Dorothy's littlo ouo into it, with a kindly smile. "It wns ono of tho finest bits of fencing I ever saw, my boy !" ho said, with only n slight tremor iu his pleas ant old voice, "and a man who can handle n sword ns you can in these degenerate days, deserves anything another can givo him.

Now York Tribune. THE WOMAN DOCTOR. The woman doctor is Already An ac complished !sot, but as vet she has Ap parently made no considerable way in publio favor. It may be contended that there is somethiug in the art of healing in acoord with the primary instincts of a woman's uature. But it we look closer into the subjeot, it will be seen that there is more than mere prejudice and long-established custom to aooount for the exolusion of the female sex iu tho past from the prao t.ce of this calling. Have women the calmness of nerve the aplomb, ao to say tbo steadiness of baud and pulse for the work of the surgeon? Is it possible to suppose that a non-abnormal womau, with her more highly strung constitutional sensibility, oould amputate limb with the same imper turbability that we should look for in the mule operator? To this it may be replied that, grant ing a certain dsawbaok to women by reason of sex in the matter of surgical exfertness, the case is different with the "metier" 'of the physician, and that hero, at least, the sexes csn com pete on terms of perfeot equality. Yet, again, as a matter of plain fact, are the services of lady doctors much in request with their own sox nay, even in those branches of the thorspeutio Art dealing with specially feminine Ail ments? Moreover, ;if the Advanced woman's theory of exact professional equality And indifference as to sex if to be maintained, why should Any bar rier suggest itself to the consultation of medical women by men, any more than now exists to the calling in by women of the male practitioner? But is there no such barrier? Surely the mere statement of the case disposes of the parity argument. AVe have heard of a man here and there resorting to lady experts iu mas sage, but thnt men should go to women doctors nnd lny bare their bodily symp toms in the sarao way as women have done from time immemorial to thoif mule rnodical a lvjsers. wgubl Jig a pro cedure rcptignaut on both sideis and "not convenient" for obvious reasons.

Tho Scottish Review. FASHION NOTE. Basket-woven linon duck is much nsod for vests. Silks in solid colors Are invariably trimmed with rich jet and guipuro ef fects. The ncwost thing in crepon is semi- transparent. It is wool, and of very light weight. Surplice folds, those quaint garni ture! of our graudmothers, are moro popular than ever. Dolicsto pale green stationery, stamped in gold or silver, is ono of the present fashions. Picturesque dresses of chiffon-cro- pon show a sheer black guazo, held in full waves ou a black net ground. P.ibbons come in all colors, And often show brocado and laco-like patterns. They are of velvet, silk and satin. The material known ns drill will bo more popular than ever. It comes now stamped with a variety of bright and beautiful designs. Leghorn flats occupy a prominent place in fashiou's realm, ns do tho nu merous fancy white braids that uro to be seen at every baud. Black crepons nud grenadines have in a large degree usurped black laco in fashionable favor in the making of somi-diaphanous black gowns. One of the daintiest ribbon produc tions of tho season is the narrow satin stripe alternating with fine Valon- cienuos lace insertion and edging. Though wide and flaring at its cir cular edge, the fashiouablo oape, of whatever material, fits the neck aud shoulders as perfectly as a bodice. Some of tae prettiest waists Aro made of cream-white embroidered ba tiste, after the same models which are used for silk and moro vxpeusive ma terials. For full-dress occasions tho half -low bodice is eucirclod with a wreatty of Artificial blooms. This wreath usu ally, but not necessarily, heads a IJLi of rich lace. Some of the prettiest blaok gowns are of sheer matorial. Black mulls and orgitudies urb iu special demaud, trimmed with black thread laco or pointe d'esprit. Pure undyed silk with a weave re sembling cauvas aud rather ooar.so iu texture is called Arabiau silk. It is used for tailor suits for morning aud traveling wear. Striped crepons are very fashion able. Mauy of tho silk and satin crepous show flowered grounds aud Isoe stripes. Ihese goods are made up over taiteta silk. Black and white is moro fashionablo than it has ever boeu before. Black and white light-weight silks, very narrowly striped, ure among the sea sou's most popular fabrios. Black laco, ombroidere l with real straw, is uow used for trimming hats and bonnets. These embroideries. which give the impression of pule cold color, are extremely effective. This is a season of box-plaits. They are often made of passementerie and of rows of overlapping ribbon, which begin on the shoulder, cross tho bust diagonally and end at the waist-lino. Bleuder-waisted women and girls may wear ribbon belts fastened with silver bucklos, aud finished with long, streaming ends, but stout women must beware of such garniture, fashionablo though it may be. Several attempts have beeu made ti lessen the size of the sleeves. Pos sibly they may become suddenly fiat. It would be a pity, for pulled sleeves when not exaggerated give much elegance to the figure. Tailor-made suits of white and pearl-gray satin-faced alpaca and pique are included in very smart ward robes. They are made with short natty jackets and full skirts fit tin tightly around the hips. Traveling gowns of mohair are be ing made with the fulluoss of the skirt carried over each hip in a series of very tine pleats, stitched down flatly and visibly. With many of these skirts is worn a short cape, instead of Jacket or blazer. Crepele will be very fashionable. Some of them are extremely variegated and original. The shades most worn Are tuordore, violet prelut, blue gray, Venetian red, emerald and violine. The same fabrios Are made iu ailk And the weft of some bright color in wool. This produoes a transparent ami very pretty eflecU White crepons with spots or stripes and fauoy patterui ar also extremely pretty.
