beeffing down he btaaed them.
"I hadn heard frsm you in three)

dead," said Anns; "and now you sVs
here oh. Dsn, I am so happy,"
Latham gased at bis wife tenderly.
"And you ob.AnBel you are starr

face turned gray, and, reeling, ahe
would bare fallen had be not oaught
ber ia his arms.
Tbsnk Ood, there's some bscon left
in my knapsack," aoid Latham, placing
his wife io a cbalr.
In a few mtnotea tbe frying pan was
spattering on the fire and the frying
bacon filled the cabin with ita savory
scent, and a hurriedly-made boecaks
lay baking before tbe hot coala.
"Ob, Ben! how long is your fur
lough?" asked Anne, rnddeclj; as she
sat by her husband a aide, with the
color coming slowly back to hsr hol
low ehreka. Hunger and sorrow for
gotten in tbe joy of La tbtm's return,
tbe only mots tbat could mar her hap
piness wss tbs thought of a futurs
parting.
"Sever mind about tbe fnrlourt," re
plied Ben, moving uneasily in bia cha.tr.
nTe won't talk about it to-night. Aft
er s man's been fighting four years b
has a rfght to klaa his wife and children
without thinking about tbe dreadful
war."
"new long la It going to hvst Bn?"
Latham bad risen to his feet and
waa walking tbe cabin floor.
"God knows! But it cant last
mueb longer unless men learn to lire
wlthqnt food and clothes. It's got
mighty nigh to that pass mrw. W
can't hold out a year. It's two to one,
and we ain't bad any luck since. St one
wall Jackson was killed. Tbe men fight
aa well aa ever, but how they hsvo the'
heart to keep up la a wonder, with let
ters coming from, home telling of
wives and children tn woeful want."
Tie a Lattajn stopped a ad looked at
Ma wife with a reddish light shining
In his haggard eyes tbat ahnost fright
ened ber.
'TThe men are fighting for their, conn
try, Deo," ssld tbs wife, ensourag
birTy. "For ttefr cowwrryl" exclaimed
Latham. "What Is country to a man
wben wife and children are starring?"
Tbs senl meal was now ready and
tbe two eat down to eat. There wss
nosh ts bs beard and told In aaswes
ts her bssbatod's questions tbs wifs
gsvs tbs Stonp of her struggles and
makeeolfte. When abe bad finisbisd
Latham inquired how maoh food there
wns In the as bin, and Anne replied tbat
there waa enough s&ssl for two days,
but when' K waa goes there was no
more eons in tbe barn to bs grohnd,
snd tbs potatoee bsd all rotted. weeks
ago.
Then the msm aaht tbs country wss
fsfl of gante. thirl og tbs four years'
at rife between north and south there
bad been little hunting, with the re
sult thst tbs wild creatures, nrrharraed,
had multiplied almost beyond belief.
So that Latham told Anne he was sure
he osuld trap sssugh game to keep the
family tffl garden and field coukS yield
produce, and, furthermore, till the
truck grow ht sonld also weave fish
traps sf while osk splints and eatoh
fish in Stpsey rtver. Oh, bs eoold man

"But won't you have to go book to
tbe army before tbs crop's made?"
sld Anno.
Tbe Mfrle seppsr had been esten nnd
rtie woman wss now clearing tbe
table.
"Anne," attld Lstham, with a touch
of Impatience, Tre Jnet coime; don't
let ua tslk of my leaving."
"Vm asrry I spoke sf it. Bent 'but
I'm eo glad to bare you back again
the thought of your leaving keeps ris
ing before me like a ghost," replied tho
wife, with tears rn her sad, wery
eyes.
"Well, lei ghosts alons to-night. Tea
seen enough dead men," said Latham,
with a mlrthleoa laugh tbat sounded
dry and forced.
riushand nnd wife continued to talk,
but something aa Intangible aa a fhntl
ow marred all efforts at cheerfulness.
At laat Anne, after a ailenoo, ex
claimed: "How glad all tbe neigh bora will ho
to ae ygu, Ben. They'll bare a thou
rord quaetiona to aak. Tliere hasn't
been anybody borne from tbe army in
fix months."
"I don't wont to we any of the
neiphbors," said Latham, almont
shortly.
"Oh." Rcnl"
Anrie looked at her buabatxl in
jrrieved surprlee, ard tbe tattered sol
dier eoatlnued, as if by way of neces
sary explanation:
"I haven't time, Anne, for going
ahout eavlag bnwd'ye and slinking
liaods. That's for people with fat
barnvand smokthouaea. I mutt forage
for you and tbe rbildren. I thall be
away mot of the daytime hunting am!

Acne was trotttd. Krtnethlnp wa.
wror.rr Bnd the could cot fathom it. A
vatnie aprrelier.irlon of aome unseen
ev.l Imuated her. Kbe longed to fuee
t!on hr lrtibru:d in order to relieve
hf r miad of ti:xiet, but ahe kr.ew not
how to f'.rui hrr questions even bud
the not feared to ask them. Hen was
kre;;lr:g something from b'er, the waa
eure.
T!i lat'.er viewed his wife's aorrow
ful f -ice, and his conscience smote him.
He hissed her several times.
"Tliere. Anncj come, cheer np.

to think of anybody but you and tbe

The wlfs replied tk4 few. peopsa

wayfarers,
I'm glsd of thst," said Latham, ht
a tons of relief, resuming his seat by
the firs.
Thta remark, ao unlike tbs Ben La
tham of old, wss too much for Anne.
Bursting into tears, ahe threw her
arms about her husband's nsok.
"Oh, Ben, Ben, what ia it? Tm ao
frightened. You are not as you ssd
to be. Something dresdfut has hap
pened, or ia going to happen. Tell me
tell me what it ia?"
"Nothing is going to happen, Anne.
What nonsense! You've been ao much
alone yoTve grown notlony. What!!
happen ia that you'll be aeelng spirits
and ghosts if yon don1 rid your brain
of aueh fancies," aald the man, kissing
his wife and laughing. -
But the laugh was nervous and hol
low, and tbs next moment he started
to hi feet.
"TVhat's thst, Anne? Don't you hesr
something?"
Ttethlng but the storm," said tte
woman.
"Test there's soms one at the gate
-it's a man's tread be'a somlng to
tbe door. Great Oed," exclaimed La
tham exottsdly.
Startled by her butrbanrTk wfld look,
a dreadful tbonght came to Anne. Had
hardship and hanger turned his brain?
"Ben Ben." abe eried. wrlnirlnihei
hands, "nobody Is coming to harm u.
"Anne, I mustn't be seen," ssid La
tham, greatly agftotsd.
There was a knock at tbs door.
"Anne, wife," said the man, grasp
ing the womsn's arm; Tm a dseerter.
When I heard John Holmes' wife's le'
ter, I deserted. I ran off In the night.
I ctaldn't stay when I knew you and
tbe children were starving,
The knock came agatfl.
"It Fm seen I shall be dtasrraced,
and the punWbment fot desertion 14
death," whispered Latham hoarsely.
Anne Latham rooked at her hus
band. If he bad deserted, tt waa not
Ty reason ef cowardice, nor to go
over to the enemy, but for love other
nnd his ohildren. Patriotism is born
at the hearthstone, and man figma
and dies for it. THisi it country but
an assemblage of bottles? Tbora vat
aa enemy far from the front attack
ing fien Lathara'a home aa enemy
that only he eouid bottle with, and ke
bad aome hocne tattered and war
worn ts fight band-to-haod with hun
ger fsr these be loved. Tbess or sim
ilar thoughts same to Anne Latham
and v.Hh them a flood of affection for
her busbsad.
"Huah, Baa," abe aaM, "asd open
tbe door. Moat likely It U soms trav
eler who has lost bis wa, and doesn't
know you."
Ths knsck rang again for the third
time, sod ss Ben Lathaot epsned the
cabin door. a dripping man ia a cap
tain's uniform of confederate gray en
tered tbs room.
Anne Latham recognised tbe officer.
It waa Ben'a captain, and with a ory
of alarm she clutched ber busbanu's
arm.
"tiroat Hcotti Latham, Is is yon! I
was loet snd rods for tbe first light
Bt Jeve, It's a stormy night as bad ns
r!me we hd In Virginia, In lleavtxi's

What's fbe matter?"
Ben Latham stood, indeed, like a

"Who would have believe! vcu'd hava

fighting under Lira for four years!
Man, I'm ashamed Of you. Don't for

Still Bea Latham was silent, and the
captain looked at him astonUked.
"This ia your wife, I pretumo, and
these are your ehlldren." Tbt offloer
went to the bed and surveyed theUttle
deeper.
As he did so Latham. fell into a chair
and began to sob as he bad not douc
since he was a child. His wife stood
ovur biui filled with bewildered dis
tress. Phe turned to th eaptaln.
"Captain," she said; "you bave a fur
lough, and y os are going home to your j
family. Be merciful Vo a man wl)l
couldn't gat a fiurloagk. and hadnl
seen his wife and children la three
years."
"Why, I nevtir kuew tbatl If I bad

at Anne thoroughly luysliQad. "But
I tan't understand your husband's

"Captain-," continued Apr.e, "my
husband tuny have dor.c wrung, but be
couldn't help it. Ho bSard that his
wife and ch'Mrca were about to

"I've hurried, too. It hunu't been
more than ten days since Lee's surren

"Lee's surrendered!"
"Yes; and the war's over. H;nn't
jour hukhand told you?" asked tbe
captain.
Htm Laluim's aobs utaned, and he
aat like a man In a dream.
"ifra. Latham,'' said the cnptuiif,
kindly, "there waan't a braver man

QUEER KIKDS OF FOOD.

Kew World.
Japan is a heavy shipper of out
lenflbdi foods to the new world. It
ha a a practical monopoly of tbe nests
which are used in making bird's nest
soup, which, by the way, wben pre
psrsd by an American cherf, lathe moot
delicious fish of itsoLatnin the world.
It aiwo catches and dries armies of
devil flab, which are as popular in the
east a dried codfish in tho west. Iu
fact, the two sea foods are very much
alike in flaTor ami differ chiefly in
their texture, the floah of tho devil
flah being bard, compact and more
like murals than that of the familiar
cod.
Troe mushrooms and sen mushrooms
are two other famous Japanese edi
ble that come to u across tho raoific.
Thv resemble mushrooms In their
contour and structure, but iu noth
