7 v i (OOOeOMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOC SWEET REVENGE Captain P." MITCHEL, Author of "hBttnron(M,M "Chick ui,n Kto. Copyright, 1WT, br Harper Rrothers. Cnptnln Stniiforth wns soon cxclmng eJ nnd before lenTlng to Join tils regl nicnt wai united to Jniiuollne. The wedding took plncc nt tlio Rutlnml plantation. Tlio groom did nie the honor to request me to net ns Ills best man, Jmuellno doubtless having lull"- pneed his choice. I gladly accepti-il, hoping Hint, since Helen wns to serve ns first bridesmaid, our being throw n together might henl the breiieh be tween us. Ten minutes before the cere mony .Tnquellue wns strumming Uln ger's bnnjo nnd ten minutes after she hnd beeonie a bride wns stnndlng ou the rear gallery tossing presents to n rrowil of blnek people below, whose upturned fnees Indlented the ndorn tlon In which they held their young mistress. I wns disappointed In my hope tbnt tlio festivities would tlinw the obdurate heart of the womnn I loved. She re mained cold even when her hand wns laid on my nrm before nnd nfter the ceremony. Later, finding her npart from the others, I nppronehed her. "Have you not one kind word for me?" I asked. "Not one. I enn respect a northern soldier, not a southern man who wears the blue." "Re It ns you wish." Mounting my horse, I rode baek to camp with a heavy henrt. The advantages gained by our force at Shlloh nnd our own bloodless con quest of northern Alabama were not vigorously followed up. The enemy withdrew to Tupelo, Miss., where he formed a new army, which early In the fall marched under tho Confederate General Bragg through Chattanooga Into Kentucky. One morning In September orders came for us to break camp nnd march northward. Bragg wns advancing, marching on Cincinnati or Louisville, thus compelling the abandonment of the territory we bad acquired In the spring and requiring us to hasten to the protection of the threatened cities. After making my preparations for the move I left the command, Intending to join It on the march, and rode over to the Stanfortbs to take my leave. Jack son announced me, and I sat down In the little library I had occupied three months before while my wound was healing to await the appearance of my friends. I was startled by the voice of Buck coming from above: "Lib, doggone It, wnnr's my swearln book? I've lost that swearln book what Major Brandystoue tole me to git" A few minutes later he came Into the room. As he caught sight of me his face became radiant, nnd, jumping Into my arms, be hugged me like a young bear. The others soon entered. Mr. Stanforth, who by this time had openly avowed his affection for the Union, parted from me with regret, not un mixed with apprehension lest upon the return of the Confederates be might Buffer for his attentions to our troops. Mrs. Stanforth bade me adieu with motherly affection. Little Ethel put her arms about my neck and wonder ed. Buck for the moment In his affec tion for me forgot that he was a Con federate sympathizer and Insisted on going with me. Helen stood aloof and at the last moment seemed more bitter than ever. There was a flush upon her cheek and a bright spark In her eyes. "Goodby," I said, putting out my band to her. "Never to an enemy," she replied, turning away. There was a murmur of disapproba tion at her act, but I did not listen to It Turning on my heel, I left the room and the house and In another moment was galloping away. My regiment was moving on a road leading northward and to the east of the main pike, so I was obliged to ride across country to rejoin. Large armies necessarily move slowly, and, although In this Instance we had entered upon forced marches, I knew that I bad plenty of time. I was riding leisurely through a lonely road when I beard the so'iud of horse's hoofs behind me. X had become so used to being bunted by my old enemies that I Instinctively drew rein and my revolver at the same time and, facing about awaited the coming of friend or foe. My pursuer turned a bend In the road but a short distance from me and suddenly came in sight. "Helen Stanforth! What In the world brings you beret" She drew rein and sat with flushed cheeks, her eyes looking anywhere ex cept on me Her horse was restive, the two making a picture by do means quiescent "I am not satisfied." "With whatf "The manner of your leaving the country." "Do I take with me what does not be long to met" "Yoa are going with our enemies.1 I was puzzled. She knew that 1 was 'a Colon officer and that my duty lay with the departing army. Besides, to remain In the country after Its reoccu patlon by Confederate troops would be s much at my life waa worth. 1 was more than puuled; 1 was irritated, smarting as I waa under ber recent treatment "VJm la not what dissatisfies you," I r'J. "I spent my tlmercsculng a renegade." "I see no occasion for you to come after me to hurl that taunt anew. We pnrted half an hour ago, I supposed never to meet again. Now you must needs" She paused and bit her lip. I hnd often noticed a great show of picket firing on the part of an enemy just berore nbnndonlng bis lines. Some how the thought gave me an Inkling of what wns passing In Helen's mind. I rode up close beside her and, laying my hand on her horse's neck, stroked It for a moment till I had quieted him. Meanwhile my eyes were fixed on Hel en's, that were glancing about wildly, as If endeavoring to find some menus of retreat. Bending forward without a word, 1 put my nrms nhout her nnd drew her to me. Her head snnk slow ly, nt Inst resting on the embroidered leaves that denoted my rank. "Sweetheart I love you, and I believe you love me." There was silence, save for the run ning water of the ereek nnd the chat tering of the birds In the trees beside the roml. Tho touching of our lips. her henrt beating against mine, stray strnnils of her hair fulling over my wrist, the moisture In her eyes, bring a new warmth to my heart even today. At lust she suddenly dlsengnged her self and, os though ashamed of her surrender, turned her horse to move away. I caught her unci held her long enough for one more embrace, one long parting kiss, then I let her go. As she galloped down the road I called after her: "You forgive me for threatening your brother, for trying to compel you to beg for his life?" "No." "I'll come when the Union Is saved." "When the Confederacy Is acknowl edged," nnd she shot around the bend out of sight. "I believe," I mused, as I rode on, "there Is no Inconsistency, no Incongru ity, that does not enter Into the com position of womnn." We met ngnlu a yenr later, shortly before the Cattle of Chlcknuiauga. and again when Hood was marching against Thomas nt Nashville, but It wns not till nfter the surrender nt Ap- pomnttox that she consented to a un ion that wns to be simultaneous with the reunion of the stntes. One Important fact has alwnys re mained a secret between me nnd my wife. I have never ventured to confess to her that during the war I performed one net of secret service. In overhaul ing my papers she one day came upon a document got up In red nnd black Ink In the form common In the army. "What's all this about?" she asked. " 'Gnllant and meritorious services In the capture of Huutsvllle, Decntur nnd Stephenson Junction.' I thought that when the Yankees surprised Hunts vllle you were nt onr house." "That?" I said, taking the paper and pretending to scrutinize it. "Oh, that wns for capturing a rebel." "What rebel?" I hesitated, then prevaricated. "Don't you remember the scene In which your brother bore an Important part?" "Do you mean to call drawing your pistol on an unarmed man a gallant and meritorious act?" "Oh, they complimented everybody for everything during the war. But I deserved the encomium, for I captured another rebel more rebellious tha your brother." "Who was that?" I put my arms about her and kissed her. "My sweetheart!" Tim ClfD. Marriage Licenses. The following marriage licenses were Issued the past week by John D.
