THE UNEXPECTED, WHICII FREQUENTLY HAPPENS. ECRUITIXO at Sum merton went on slow- Jy in spite of our new efforts and of I'liil Hamilton's money. 0 There were many rea sons for the lack of recruits, and each new reason as we were brought face to face with it proved de pressing. First, It became evident that all of our fellow townsmen who really wanted togo to the war had already enlisted. Again, offers of bounties had increased so rapidly that men who looked at soldiering as a mere matter of hire and pay were waiting for high er offers to come. Besides, the old patriotic enthusiasm which had caused men to enlist at the first notice of a new call for volun teers had entirely disappeared, perhaps because an end had been put to the ear ly impression that the war would be only a sort of picnic, ending In the speedy suppression of southern mal contents. Worse still, Increasing taxa tion was causing a number of the ear lier hot blooded patriots to become very cool and conservative and wonder whether the north hadn't perhaps been too hasty and whether the disagree ment might not better be settled by words than bullets. Yet none of these depressing influ ences seemed to affect the class of men among whom Mick McTwyny was working, for Mick's list had crept along until he had a full dozen of men en listed and sworn in. They were the 12 worst characters of Summerton, and the natives rejoiced to learn that they were togo where they might be effect ively killed. I had my doubts as to their value to the Union cause, al though Cloyne said they would be as useful as better men In the work of stopping bullets and that a barroom loafer often fought better than an ac complished gentleman. As for Hamilton, Cloyne and me, we got less than a dozen men between us In the three weeks in which we worked at Summerton and its vicinity. Anoth er personal discouragement slowly worked its way after each trip that any of us made to headquarters in tho city. We found at the major's office from time to time about 25 quite tine fellows, all of whom were trying to get recruits, all hoping or expecting to be made ofllcers, yet the entire number of commissions, including the major's own, could be but 13 to the battalion. How were the conflicting claims to be adjusted and by whom? I asked Cloyne this question, and he replied sadly: "There'll be no claims to adjust un less the other claimants are getting more recruits than we." It seemed he was right. If Hamil ton's wild offer could not bring men to our office, how were poorer men to se- j cure recruits? Yet Mick McTwyny— ; ah, there was a mysterious, provoking, enraging, affrighting puzzle! When I hadn't my own disappoint ments In mind, I couldu't help worry ing over affairs at home. My father and mother grew more and more silent. Little Ned complained that there was no one to play with him, and my cous in May was becoming more deeply In terested in Hamilton and Bralnard. Which she liked best I could not dis cover—probably because May herself did not know. She wasn't old enough to know. She treated Bralnard as a schoolboy friend and Hamilton as an adult and gentleman. She was right in both cases, but I couldn't help see ing that both of my comrades were very fond of her, and I feared that when the time for partiug came one of them would have to suffer greatly. Which would it be? I could not for the life of me tell for which I would feel worst should he be the least fa vored. One day word came by mail that the major would like to see all of us at eeadquarters the next day about noon If entirely convenient to us. "That looks as if we were to have commissions in spite of our small suc cess at recruiting," said Hamilton. "Officers aren't in the habit of saying 'entirely convenient' to privates when they've any orders to give. Between ourselves, I've been asking my father to use a little family and political in fluence with the governor to get us commissions, either in our own regi ment or elsewhere, and this may be the outcome of it." "More power to his elbow then," said Cloyne, "if it isn't." Somehow we all were more hopeful for the remainder of the day, and I would have Mt entirely cheerful were It not for the thought that whether officer or private I should still be de prived of Bruinard's companionship for three years. Suddenly there came to my mind a plan which was irregular and shock ing, yet which made me wildly gleeful in an instant. The medical examiner had to see dally hundreds of different recruits of all ages, sizes and differ ences of appearance. His memory cer tainly could not recall Brainard's ap pearance were he again to see his name. Suppose I were to enroll Braln ard again, take him to headquarters, have his name put on the day's list of recruits togo before the surgeon and then, before that functionary were reached, substitute myself for Bralnard in the squad, answer to his name when the surgeon called for him and be ex amined in his stead? Then Bralnard could goon with the new squad, none of whom would know us apart, to the mustering officer and be sworn in. The plan looked deceitful enough to appear about as bad as treason, but I was equal to any wildness for the sake of having my old chum In the army with me. I did not tell Bralnard the whole of it, but I asked him to let me enroll him again and see if the surgeon might not find him n little taller and stouter than before. The poor fellow was willing, but lie had not much hope. Bralnard and I hurried to headquar ters very early the next morning. I had heard that the old sergeant who always was on duty there would do anything for $5, so I took him aside, told him of my plan and offered him a $lO bill to help me through. I was about to explain further how good a soldier Brainard had been and how much more useful I would be to my country if I could have my old friend with me, but the veteran scoundrel cut jie short with: "That'll do. The $lO is explanation enough." Then he made out the day's list, which didn't take long, as there were only three recruits besides Charley. He explained to me that with Brainard's name on the list ho was giving my height, age and particulars of personal appearance. Then he told me to hurry i myself into civilian's dress. I had not such clothing in town, but from some cast oft coats and trousers at head- Churley smiled sail I y and leaned against a duorcasiny. quarters I selected a suit, and away we went, Brainard walking beside me. When we reached the examiner's office, I I asked Brainard to wait outside a few moments while 1 could speak a few | words with the surgeon, with whom I | thought I might have some influence, j Charley smiled sadly and leaned | against a doorcasing, while I entered, i with my heart beating so violently that I feared it might burst before the sur geon could examine It. At last came the call: "Charles Brainard!" "Here!" I shouted. The surgeon looked at the list and I then at me, at which 1 began to tremble guiltily and wondered how soon I would be shot or hanged after discovery. But the surgeon went on with his examination, exactly as he had done three weeks before, and then s he marked the list and gave It to the I sergeant with the words: "All accepted." The sergeant dug his Cst Into my I ribs as we passed out. His fist was | big, and he used it with thoughtless j vigor, but 1 imagined there was much I more force in a similar familiarity I i bestowed upon Brainard as we rejoin ed hiin, and the old sergeant said: I "Come along." "Won't he even see me?" asked Char ley pitifully, as we marched toward the mustering officer's quarters. "He's changed his mind about you," 1 explained. "All you now need, to j be a soldier once more, Is to take the oath and be mustered In." "Hurrah!" shouted Charley, with a glad look which I thought absolved me at once of whatever crime I had for his sake committed. "Let's run!" ! There was no chance to run.the two offices being near each other. At the mustering officer's it was my turn to stand outside, but I got near enough to look through the door, and 1 wished all Summerton might be there with me to see how handsome and manly a lit tle, thin, flat chested, round shouldered i fellow could look when his heart was full of honest joy. And how glorious it was to help se lect a uniform for Brainard when he returned to headquarters! True, his trousers had to be turned up several inches to clear the floor, and the collar j of his jacket had to be turned down until none of the yellow braid could be seen, and the row of buttons on the front, which should have reached ifcily his waist, seemed to descend half way to his knees. Still, he was a member i of the Thirty-eighth, duly sworn and mustered, and nothing but death or tho end of the war could change the situa tion. How 1 did wish my brilliant plan had occurred to me sooner, so that Hamilton's father might have used his influence with the governor in Brain ard's favor also! After I got into my uniform again we sat and talked and planned as hap pily as if we were going Into posses sion of unexpected riches instead of to war and possible death. The wicked old sergeant strolled to and fro in front of us, smoking his pipe and eying us strangely. Suddenly he stopped In front of us and blurted out: "I never struck a couple like you be fore. I'll tell you what I'll do. I'll take you both out and get you drunk at my own expense." We declined, with thanks, explaining that we expected to be quite busy for an hour or two, as we had to mako some purchases and I had an engage ment at noon with the major, whom I didn't like to disappoint. "Oh, 110; of course not," he replied, with a grim grin. "I wouldn't keep the major waiting for anything If I were you. But. say"—here he drew me aside and pressed something into my hand—"you'll take back your $lO anyhow." I tried to decline, but he said that If I didn't take the money he'd light his pipe with it. He Insisted that he al ready had pay enough for his trouble, and when I replied that I couldn't see how, he called me a fool. He put n lot of uncomplimentary adjectives In front of the "fool" too.

As we ap proached headquarters from tho op posite side of the street we saw Ham ilton and Cloyne coming down, and Brainard stopped me, exclaiming: "Did you ever see two finer looking soldiers?" I said 1 never had. Each was tall, straight, well formed and carried him self with the grace and ease that came of military training long before they, with us, had joined Billy Beecham's company of the Ninety-ninth. Their cavalry uniforms had been carefully altered and refitted, so there was none of the awkwardness about them that made the volunteer soldier appear more shabby thau the average citizen, i<" wore a slouch hat and plume, like the regulation "dress" hat. only much finer, and they attracted more attention from passersby than any of the commission ed officers whom one met every mo ment or two on Broadway In those days. 1 wanted to tell Hralnard how much more distinguished they would look within a day or two when they had received the commissions, about which tlie major undoubtedly wanted to see them and me, but I hadn't the heart to speak of good fortune from which poor Brainard was to be ex cluded, so I said nothing. The two line fellows entered the stairway which led to the loft iu which our regiment's recruiting headquarters were, and I followed them. Quite a number of uniformed recruits were there in the back part of the room, so it seemed to me that other officers and would he officers must have been more successful than our trio nt Suinmerton. I was about to tell Hamilton and Cloyne of my luck with Brainard, but Charley begged me not to. He said he wanted to surprise them when we re turned to Summerton. Until then he would try to keep out of sight. I join ed them alone, therefore, and the three of us walked about together, amusing ourselves by observing the old ser geant, who seemed to be trying to And some one or count the recruits, we could not discover which. The major had not yet arrived. The lieutenant, who always seemed to be on duty as aid or assistant, leaned from the window as if looking for the major. Finally he withdrew his head, walked to the rear of the room and shouted: "Attention, men! Fall In!" "I wonder if lie is going to indulge in a squad drill?" said Hamilton to Cloyne, as both of them stepped aside, followed by me, in order to be out of the line which the men were forming by the aid of the old sergeant. "Fall in, men," eaid the lieutenant, approaching us. "Beg pardon," said Hamilton, salut ing gracefully, "but we've an appoint ment at noon with the major, at his own request." "Yes, I understand," eaid tho lieu tenant. "1 represent the major. Fall in—according to height." "If he meant drill," muttered Hamil ton to Cloyne, "why didn't the old duffer say so? Did he think we wouldn't obey orders, that he got us here by such unmllitary ways?" "Right—dress!" shouted the old ser geant, who had stationed himself at the right of tho line. Then he ran along the front, pushing some men back a little and pulling others forward. Finally he returned to the right and eliouted "Front!" Then the lieutenant looked at us as carelessly as if merely to see if our general appearance was fair. At last he shouted: "Atten-tion! Men, orders have come for all recruits for the Thirty-eighth cavalry to be sent to the regiment at once. You must remain here, there fore, until the order for transportation comes. We'll get off some time this evening. That's all. Break ranks march 1" The yells, roars and oaths that went up from two <jr three score of the men were worse than any I ever had heard. I couldn't blame any of the other re cruits, however, for I was as angry, shocked and frantic as they. "Get off some time this evening!" That meant I couldn't see father, mother or Ned before I started—couldn't see them in three years unless the war ended soon er. It was awful—it was worse than the worst thing I ever had imagined about war. Some of the more excitable fellows made a rush for the door to find there for the first time an armed guard, be yond whom at the head of the stairs were several more. They did not be long to our own regiment either. Then they dashed to the rear of the loft and "Fall in, men," said the lieutenant. threw up the window sashes, but two Infantrymen with fixed bayonets were in tho tiny courtyard below. Then Babel began again, while the lieuten ant resumed his chair, cigar and pen as coolly as If he were deaf or accus tomed to such scenes. "Can It be posslblo that this was what the major meant?" I asked of Hamilton and Cloyne. "Undoubtedly," groaned Cloyne. "I* Isn't a new trick by any means." "The scoundrell" hissed Hamilton, who was the picture of more kinds of discomfort than I had ever seen In one face before [TO BE CONTIXUED.I Tlie Punning of Courtesy*.

I can remember that on the night of his first appearance be was frightfully nervous and was anxious to proclaim the fact that the Duke of Buckingham was taken, as lie had been practicing and studying it for several weeks. The result was that he got the wrung cue and made his entrance before time, crying out: "My lord, tlie Duke of Buckingham Is taken!" Richard turned to him and in an un dertone said: "Get off! Get off! You're too soon." The actor left the stage mortified and more "rattled" than ever, s<> that scarcely was he In the before he again made the same mistake and again proclaimed that the Duke of Buckingham was taken. Richard turn ed upon him for the second time and told him to leave the stage. He also whispered, "Somebody take care of that Idiot and tell him when to make his entrance." The prompter grabbed tlio actor by the hum J anil when the proper time came 6ald: "Now is your time. Tell Richard he's taken." The actor rushed upon the stage, hes itated, looked at Itlchard and then in a wild tone of voice exclaimed: "We have him, by heaven, and we have him .sure!"

A I)ramittl<* Incident fit an Or»*nn Grove Eiperlenoe Meeting. It had been an experience meeting. Ten thousand people were assembled in the great auditorium by the sea. There had been the handshake, the waving of handkerchiefs, the hymn, the prayer, the word which told the spiritual history of many a soul. The bishop stood upon the platform In the aet of pronouncing the benedic tion. Emotion was at its height. It seemed as if a spiritual wave had swept over the multitude, wrapping it In a divine caress. At that moment a little child was passed up to the platform, and the bishop took it in his arms. "Lost child," were the whispered words. The baby put its dimpled arms about the bishop's neck and laid its head upon his shoulder, its yellow curls mingling with his gray hair. "Lost child," said the bishop in his deep, sympathetic voice. "Does any one In the audience know this baby or to whom it belongs? Will the father or mother come and claim it?'' There was silence, and the baby nes tied closer, and the women who sat near said, "Oh!" Then a man was seen making his way to the altar. It was the baby's fa ther. Instantly the child stretched out Its arms togo to him. Then as he gave It up the bishop said: "There are 10,(MX) lost souls in Ocean Orove. The Father's arms are waiting to receive them.

As you walk along certain parts of rails your attention is sometimes at tracted by the barking of a dog, and on sueh an occasion one of the queer est of the outdoor trades of Faris is seen. Near the water's edge, his black coat flecked thickly with soapsuds, stands the dog, and over him, en ergetically shampooing the soap into the long, hairy coat, stands one of the professional dog washers who haunt the banks of the Seine at stated spots j from the Font d'lena to the Font Neuf. These men lather and wash pet dogs while their owners look on from con veniently placed chairs. The fees range I from."> sous to a franc. When the soap ing operation is completed, the dog is dropped into the river and encouraged to get rid of the dirt and soap by a swim. Sometimes the pet will swim straight out, while the fair owner is In agonies of fear lest some swiftly passing steamer should strike it and end its bathing and swimming days forever. On more than one occasion the dog washer has been driven to plunge in and rescue the bewiideretL animal lest the infuriated owner slioußl claim com pensation for his carelessness. With some Farisiennes this weekly pet washing is a ceremony of importance. The dainty lady, alighting from her smart victoria, goes down the steps to the washing place chosen, preceded by her footman carrying or leading tho dog, as the case may be, and then, seated under a sunshade, she directs the toilet of Fill or Nero with tender solicitude. The toilet des ehiens at the fashionable spots includes warm, fleecy towels, a peignoir de bain while the dog's hair Is being curled, combed, Ringed or cut, and a length of ribbon of a selected color to tie round its neck at the finish.

FLOWER AND TREE. Heavy pruning of growing trees will check growth. Flowering plants should never be watered with cold water. It chills the plants. The Madeira vine is one of the best climbers, having a wreath of leaves equaled by few other plants. Repotting of plants becomes necessa ry at intervals for two reasons. The plant uses up the available fertility in the soil ami fills the pots with roots. The ink plant of New Granada is a curiosity. The juice of it can be used as ink without any preparation. At first the writing is red, but after a few hours it changes to black. In watering the primrose observe this: Water should not l>e poured upon the crown of the plant nor the pot filled so full that the water flows over into it. This is fatal to the health of the plant. To destroy aphides or plant lice dip the ends of the twigs into a strong tea mud** by steeping tobacco stems in hot water or syringe with whale oil soap suds, repeating the operation in six or seven days.
