T' l ® occasion was a 'hop' given in honor of . ihe presence of a detachment ot 'Foi> cat's Cay airy,' the daring riders whose names are household words in SouilsejMi homes, Irom the mountains ol Teuues* see to the valleys ol the Mississippi. The ( young Jiady referrad lo was a pretty, . gruceiul girl, with dark', gray eyes, . waving hair, of a dark, reddish gold, ■ and Ihe exquisite complexion that aci companies it. , 'Who is she?' a6ked the .colonel's coni*- patron.

'Well,'said the brave little woman/'be shall be kept ! quiet, for 1 will stay just here aud not .lot him move.' And, by George, she did; she never stirred all night, aud iu the inorinug they carried hiin to the : ,nearest house, aud she nursed bim until he was out of danger .' 'That's a sweetheart worth having,' jaid Captaiu Barclay, with a glance of at the subject ol' their couvei katiou.

'How many?' he asjfed, quizziugly; 'more than one?' • '1 mean what I said,'- she answered, with a merry laugh and a-quick, bright blfish.: , 4 i have hoard from 'one' of them very recently.'
