JOHN KEDIHOND* IAHKRITANCK.
BT MARY MICHELLE.
They were all asaomuled in the study
nt the Grange, to hear the reading of
Gil'iert Redmond's will. His widow xat
in the Ibrge high-backed cheir opposite
tlie great square window. The sunlight
fell on a kind, and face, full of moth»rli>-
ness, although aliehad never known the
joys of maternity. Near her and lean
ing on the mantle-piece, stood her bus
bands' nephew, John Redmond, a tall,
Htrng-buiit man of thirty yearn, with
kindly, bright blue eyes, aui sunny
In-own I tail clustering over a forehead as
fair and smooth as a maiden's. His
tattle with lite had left some lines around
the firm mouth which in his boyhood
must have been singularly sweet though
never effeminate.
Seen now with that grave, set expres
sion, lie gtve one the imprersion of
strong, true manhood. But the power
of his face lay in his smile. . It was irre
sistibly winning. • '
Seated »t Mrs. Redmond's kne» was
her neiee. Winnie Barton, the adopted
daughter of the house. A slight, grace
fJl girl of eighteen summers, she was a
perfect picture of blonde beauty, remind*
ing one forcibly, in her grief, of the sor
rowful face of "the Ceuci." Her great
brown eyes were full of tears, but for
this she might have been carved In mar
ble, so motionless was she. *
With the addition of a dozen old ser
vants, standing in sad and respectful
silenoe at the father end of the apart
ment, my group is complete. They
were awainting i|ie coming of the old
family lawyer, Mr. Weston, and dreary
as the stillness was, no one cared to Break
»t.. y " , '>
Ten years ago, when Winnie was a
child, and John Redmond a yor°~ A
twenty, his unele had endeavored to in
duce him to give up the scheme of enter
ing a medical college, promising him a
liberal allowance, and to acknowledge
him as heir. But John refused to
sacrifice his independence, and the uucle
and n&ph»)W parted—with sad determi
nation on oue side aad a command
never ajain to enter the Grange on the
other.
"If you are sick or in trouble you will
send for me, uncle?" asked the boy,
wistfully, as he turned from the stern
eld man.
But though he returned no answer the
words rang in his memory years after
the bright yonug face had passed from
the grim old mansion.
John Redmond wou fame if not for
tune from tha world be had entered A
year before be died the old man sent for
him, and when he >canie could hardly
trace in the bronzed, bearded man the
boy be so well remembered. But he
was proud of him, and won a reluctant
consent that he would make the Grange
his home.
"It will qot be for 4ong, John. The
grave will otaim me soon," he said.
Aud it was so. One short year and
the restless heart was at rest forever.
Now for the laat time would be utter
the wishes that had always been as
laws,
Steps were heard approaching, and in
another moment the lawyer was bowing
gravely to the family# -Then without
further introduction, he read the will.
Like most other aetions of Gilbert Red
mond's life, it was eccentric. Towards
his end he had conceived the notion of a
marriage between John and Winnie.
Though never hinting hia reason to the
young people be had contrived that they
should be mnch together. His |>ro|ierty
was now |o be eaqually divided between
them in the event of their nnion. If
either, of the parties refuse to comply
with the conditions his or her portion
was to go to the other. In case of both
refusing the whole went to a distant
cousin. With sundry small bequests to
friends and servants this was the
stance of the will.
> The lawyer,, taking off his speetaolea,
approached Mrs. Redmond and com
menced a conversation with her in a low
key, kindly abstaining from noticing
Winnie, who, with burning cheeks, left
the room as soon as possible.' John's
face, too, was {flushed, and his manner
tinged with ejnbarrasment as he ans
wered the few questions put to him by
bis sunt, who told him they would look
for his answer in three days; then he
escaped to the library wilh his friend,
PercT Norton. There we will leave bim
and follow .Winnie to her room.
On entering, she had flung herself into
a wide, peep arm-chair neat the window.
The rays of the setting son touched the
bowed, golden bead and lingerei there,
lightening it into still brighter glory.
Sfasme, resentment aud wound jd pride
were struggling with softer feelings in
h*r heart. Kind as her unele hid always
been how oould he now be so inconsids
erate? How dared he fling her at any
man's head, and least of all John Red»>
mood's! John, who had been her hero
ever since they bad brought her home a
poor little motherless babe, and his were
the only arms in which she would rest!
Tliey had been firm frienda ever si no*,
and tbe greatest sorrow snd joy of her
abort life had been in bis exile and re
turn.
GRAHAM, N C-,
— ■ . . . - —„ .
" Perhaps," whisp«rs hope, ''be may
love jrou, end all will yet be right."
But the timid little voice «w silenced
■a memory brought buck a hoot of ac
tions, all kind, but not one loverlike,
tang did she ait there, and many i wild
scheme |wfu-$d through her head of ateal
ing away into ihe world add leering the
fortune to John.
'•What ia to be done mnat be done
qoickly," she Raid, "or he will be before
me in the rufuKal, and 1 must go awtfy
and lot them think me dead."
Then she rose, bathed her eyes and
stole down the garden* Her favorite
seat wan just outside the librarr win
dows, and it was here ahe went just in
time to hear John's voice saying,—
"Ye- 1 , we have always been fond of
each o'ber in a cousinly fashion, but I
tell yon, Percy, under the circumstances
I never can and never will ask her to
marry me; and, poor little girl! -to aave
for her that confounded money, 1 must
refuse her."
Gathering her skirts around her, Win*
itie fled noiselessly back to bur room, but
not this tinfe to think or weep. She
was cut to the heart, for, all uuknown to
herself, ahe loved lohn Redmond with
the full strength of her woman's nature,
and, woman-like, prepared to aacrafioe
herself for the man the loved. For an
honr she busied herself in settling the
conteuts of the varioua drawers and
boxes in the room, making up soma of
the plainer articles of olothiug into a
saiall bundle. She then aat down, and,
taking pen and paper, wrote the follow
ing note.'—
'DKAR AONT LOUISE:—Ere yon hare
read this 1 shall be lying nnder Hie dark
waters of the river. Tell Mr. Weston 1
absolutely refuse to comply with the
terms of my uuole's will. J could not; u
barrier greater than yon kuow exists to
his desire. Try and think kindly of me,
and tell John not to judge bis little sister
100 harshly. WIMNIK.'
'lt is better they should suppose "me.
dead,' she "aid. 'lf they knew my real
intentions they would never cease to seek
for me.' Then, stooping down, with a
foolishly tenderthougbtslie kissed John's
name where she had written if, and seal
ing the note left it where they would
find it.
Pulling on her hat and cloak she took
dowu troin a shelf her pretty garden hat,
and carrying that and the bdndle stole
Horn the room. At the door she paused
and looked back. She had i*een so hap
py here—so happy I But sliding her sobs
she fled down the old .»familiar avenue
and took the path to the river.
And now le> us go back to Ihe library,
(lad poor little Winnie Out come a mo
ment before she need not now be speed
ing away fi-om her home with such a sore
heart. John itedmoud loved her with a
love equal to her own, and Ihe words
that she had beard were spoken under
the belief that she loved him with onlv a
sisterly aflecliou, which lie was too noble
to play tt|iou by iiiduciug her now to be*
come bis wife.
Percy had to return to bis home, and his
friend determined to walk with him as
far as the station, as llio night had be
come cloudy and threatened a storin,
and the former wits unfamiliar with the
road. _ He was-now returning, and just
as Winnie's figure emeiged from the
gate be caught sight of it and at ouce
recognized lier.
'Where can the child be going at thio
time of night?' he soliloquized. 'ltseems
dishonorable to follow her, and impei li
neut to question, aud—good lleavens]
she must be walking iu her sleep, lu
any case, I must follow to protect her.'
A very little watching sufficed to show
him that she was at least wide awake, so
on they went, I lie young man keeping
in Ihe shade of the trees so that she did
uot discover him.
At last they roachcd the river, and
here she paused. A thrill ot fear caused
him to hasten his steps. But no, Win*
nie's was too noble a soul to dream of
%elfdestruction. It was now raining
heavily, aud lira flashes of Rghuniog
showed him the alight figure Mml over
the stream and drop into it |£' garden
bat which she carried, then torn away
toward a small bridge a few yards farther
down. He followed noiseles-l), almost
breathless from astonishment; the light
ning showed her standing on Ihe bridge,
which was stroek by the next flash, and
she a>nk beneath the waters.
It was the work of a second to spring
in after Iter, cursing himself for not hsvt
iug stopped her before, and seize the un
conscious form as it rose to the suface.
He was a good swimmer arid soon gain
ed the hank, where be laid bis uueou

shock. His professional skill enabled

'John will entertain yon, dear,' she said
as she closed ihe door on them.
For a moment ntilher spoke, for both

the pain aud sbaiue on the dear face went
over to her with the old wlnuing, tender

took both theoold, trembling little hands
iu his warm, strong ones and said, in the

Fifteen thousand people assembled at
the capital ot South Carolina on Tuesday
last the 18th lust., to witness tho unveil
ing of the monument to the Confederate
dead, which was erected by the ladies of
the Monument Association. Uosts of
people flocked thither from all seelions
of the oouutry, and the means of trans
portation wore inadequate to accommo
date all who wished lo attend. Military
companies from all parts of South Caro
tins, together with the Charlotte If. C.
military, made a display which was
grander than any ever seen In the State.
At 8 o'clock Ibe procession Itemed and
marched op Main street. The city oould
not contain the column, for as it doubled
itself and wheeled/ Its platoons behind
the bill abovo the post offlv, the year
was at Ibe State House yard.
The sight of the old battle flags and of
the survivor* who bore some of Hflj|
seemed to move and stir the people more
than anything, lu maay insianooo as the
tattered, torn and defaced emblems were
borne by drooping from tbeir stalls, la
dle* and men too, tamed aside to eonoeal
the tears that would come.
Ai 4p. m. Governor* Slirpeon, with
Gen. John 9. Preston, the orator of the
occasion, on bis arm followed by the
Rev. Ellison Capers and the Rev. Wil
liam Martin, ascended tlie steps leading
to the stand aud took the seats provided
lor them.
After prayer by Gen. Ellison Capers,
Gov. Simpson eame forward and in a*
eloquent address, introduced South Car*
oliua's most eloquent son, Gen. John S.
Preston, aa orator ol the day. Gen. Pres
ton's address was the grandest oration
ever listened to in the Palmetto State.
At the proper poiut in Gon. Preelon's
oration a oouimiitee of gentlemen came
forward, and through an avenue in the
crowd led four young ladies to the monu
ment, each one ol whom was statiwuod
at one of the oornera and held one of the
ropes attached to the covering. At a
given signal from Mr. Walton, who
sn|*rintended the nnveiling, Ihe ropes
were drawn, and, at If by mairfc, the
covering floated to the ground, and
the monument stood forth la all its beau-
