CHAPTER VI.
The fire was hrili'ly burning in the
larc parlor at Trenham Park. Valencia
Trenhani sat idly before it, holding in
her liaiidn an open book, which, however,
received but a aniall proportion of her of
tention, so abstracted wcto her thoughts.
The chilly air of an early spring evening
made the lire particularly comfortable, and
drawing her chair nearer tho blow, she
laid the neglected book aside and gave
herself entirely up to tho sad thoughts
that memory invariably brought her now.
Four years have passed since the night
of Colonel Myddleton's ball, when her
bright glad girlhood so suddenly departed,
leaving n woman's heart, strong to suffer,
patient to bear, in place of tho timid', girl
ish one. The old radiant look baa left
her face, but it is more beautiful, now, in
its peaceful, purified expression. The
checks are only faintly pink, the eyes have
a deeper, softer look, instead of a brighter
and the tender red lips do not pait in
laughter as readily as they once did, but the
smihs that rest upon them are louger and
sweeter. To night the smiles are wanting,
for u new trial awaits her and she is en
deavoring to nerve herself to meet it. Hei
beloved country is gasping in the throes
of civil warfare. Theyouug Confederacy
is calling for men to defend their rights,
and nobly the cull is being answered. The
best and bravest hearts that bout with the
warm, true blood of tho South, are hasten
ing in rcspouse to that call to enroll them
selves among their country's defenders.
Yale eyes grow dim as she pictures ono fig
ure already ill the field of danger, that four
years ago had stood before her and with
manly courage and for the sako ofhonor
had renounced the dearest hope that ever
brightens a man's life. And, now, Joe
was to follow on tho morruw. How would
it all end! "Poor Joe!" she sighed softly
and as she spoke, he cutered the room,
und leaning agaiust the uiantlepiece, looked
dowu at the alight figure, in its warm, red
dress.
"I leave quite early in the morning,
Val," ho said gently, "so I came to you
just as soon as I could get off, I wanted to
spend as much aa possible uf my last even
ing with you."
"Do not speak of your last evening so
sadly, Joe. It is not the last evening you
and I will spend together. Oh ! I wish
you did not have to go in this cruel war,''
sho cried, the tears coming into the soft
eyea as olie looked at him aud thought of
the danger that awaited hiiu. He left the
position on the hearth and knelt by her
(iile, gazing earnestly into tho altered fane.
"Val," he said with a sigh, "I have no
ticed that yon huvo not seemed quite as
happy ihe last four years as in tho olden
lays when we rambled through the woods
together. Dear, are you fretting over some
trouble uf which I know uolhing?" "If
you are," he acid earnestly, "it is unkind
of you nt-t to let me share your grief."
Her eyes fell under his tenderly reproach
ful look. She could not slab his loving
heart by rove.ilin j the weakueaa of her own
No, aha wo lid crush this pain and loogin;
i hut iwnn-Uun'1 ahiiiat mastered hei; and
tt)n wbrn it wns all past, she would

raised hi r bead, aud looked bravely
hi. i-vi-e.
"You must not suppose that I have any
secret trouble, Joe. You know I have
tried to 6nd out something that would
throw a little light on the crime that dark
ened my father's life, and because my of
forta have proved fruitless it has worried
me and caused nic to fret a little, I guess.
I cannot help thinking thai grandpa could
help me if he would only tell me about it
all, but he is aa hard as flint. He will uot
hit uie mention poor papa's name, and
when I told him what I bad overheard the
night of Colonel Myddleton'a ball
thought his rage would choke Jiiin. I do
not believe my father forged that note, Joe,
nd I will never give up tho strugglo nntil
hii innocence is proved. And I do not
believe he Is dead. Do you remember
telling mo of .the man Aunt Oinny saw
four yea ago, and of her belief that it was

If he is living, Joe, be will join the South
ern army and I waut you look out for
him."
"I will, dear, and you must not fret
about him or me while I am gone. Keep
the roses blooming iu these thin cheeks
for my sake. They will be my sweetest
greeting when 1 conic home."
"All! Joe, it is a great misfortune, that
you should build all your hopes of happi
ness on such an unworthy object," the
said, turning from his fond eyes.
"Dearest, do you regret the promise you
gave me four years ago? You were only
a child then, and I have often thought I
did wrong to accept your promise. Tell
me to-night (hat tho thought may not
haunt me when I nm nway from you that
you are not unwillingly bound that you
will be happy as my wife?"
"You may leave mo quite satisfied on
that point," she said Boftly, laying her
hands on his sliouldcis as he knelt by her.
"I can never regret giving myself to you.
After all these years of tenderness and love
you have bestowed on me I regret not being
more worthy of you."
"You have made me very happy, dear
est," he said tremulously, folding his arms
about her and drawing the queenly little
head to his shoulder. "Remember, no
matter what happens to me you have been
my happiness, my light and joy, ond to
night you havo filled to the brim the
measure of my content. It is hard to
leave you, and it is even harder, when I
know how indifferent is your grandfather's
care. I wish I could leave you in a hap
pier home."
"You must not worry about me, Joe
really believe grandpa is growing fond of
Last night he patted my check when
I bade him good-night, the first caress he
lias ever given me. Then, too, your moth
er and Alice are near, and I shall be with
them much of the time. Our fair South
ern land needs you, Joe, and you must
not let thought of niv loneliness unnerve
you for the glorious work before you."
"I joiu Myddleton's company at once.
Have you a message for him, pet? '
"Only that I pray daily for you, him
and our beloved country. Tell him that
Joe."
I will, dear. It grows late ami I must
hurry back to see iny mother awhile
Darling, how can I bid you good bye!
said brokenly. She slood up, the tears
falling from her eyes, and she smiled sadly
as she met his gaze.
".nay Uod care lor you and bring you
safely back to me," she said, elaspiug both
arms around his neck.
He strained her closely to his bosom
pressed one long, warm kiss on the trem
bling lips, and without trusting himself to
utter one word left the room.
CHAPTER VII.
"Grandpa, are you asleep?" asked Val
one cold, rainy eveuing in November com
ing iuto the warm, fire-lit parlor whore her
grandfather was nodding over his after-
dinner pipe.
"No, I never sleep in the day time
Where have you been Iraipsiug through
the rain?" he asked gruffly.
"I went out to the quarters to see Aunt
Ginny'a husband. He is sulfcriug with
rheumatism as usual only a little more this
eveuing. Ho said he had a most "scru
shiatin' misery " in his back, and that "hogs
foot ile" did him no good, for there waa not
"a spot as big as a pin" on his body "'cept
it ached." I think I'll send him a little
brandy if you do not object, grandpa.
"Humph!" muttered the old man, sup
pressing tho Kiuilj that stirred his thin
lips at ihe girl's imitation uf tha old
ero's tone. "That is exactly what he
intended you to dj when he bjguiled you
into listening to the narration of his aches
aud pains. Do you not think it advisable
to send hiui dowu some blankets?"
"No, giaiulpa," was the calm answer to
this bit of satire. "Aunt Ginny is amply
provided will) iniilta. Rut can I a nd the
brand)?"
"If you waut to piny the fool you
.'o ahead, nltneu, niiil let the negroes
humbug you to their hearts' content."
Taking this gracious speech for permis
sion Val left the room to dwimtch a ser
vant with the biandy. When alio
turned she found her grandfather looking
uverthe mail, which i servuut had just
hmuelit fro a the village. Picking Olt
her weekly letter from Ji Iadey h
handed it to her and then opened a bulky
Iwikiiig package addressed to himself.
She had only read a few lines of Jo
letter when she started up wit Ii a glad rxclft.
nation, and looking towatds her grandpa
saw lb it his faca waa white and quivering
while trembling hands gratpod the pa
pers his tear-dituined eyes would not le
hiiu read.
"Uramlpa," she cried, running to him
aud throwing her armi around hia neck
you know all! lou know he did not
commit that dishonorable deed and the
real criminal, Eugene Nowel, has confessed
at last, and nana lives, grandpa. Joo has
found him for us, and he is coming home.
Oh, grandpa! speak to we and tell uie you
arc glad!" And, laughing, and crying,
she clung to him in her happy excitement.
The old man put his anus around hir,
and bowing his gray head on her shoulder
burst into the most bitter tears of remorse
and unavailing regret for the past that ev
er shook a man', soul, Soothingly, md
lovingly she quieted him at last, and then
together they road Eugene Nowel's death
bed confession, sent them by Joe.
"I found him mortally wounded by a
chance shot in one of the numerous skir
mishes which are constantly occurring, now
thi't the opposing forces are drawing so
near each other," wrote Joe. "Before
leaviug hi in at tho hospital he begged me
to write his confession and let him
svear to it bofiri a magistrate. I
wanted him to have his wound dressed
first, but he would nut wait, saying lie
knew he was (lying and had no lime to
lose. I lid as he requested, Val, and he
cleared your lathers name. Dear, your
father has been in Myddleton's company
from the first, but he would not let me tell
you of it until his innocence was proved.
Myddleton haB given him leave of absence
for a few weeks, aud you will see him soon.
Frank was bo delighted when your father's
name was cleared of dishonor. He has
been (ieorge Trenhaiu's warmest friend for
two years, since he first leained who he
was. It was your father old Ginny saw
Ho longed for a glimpse of the old place,
and wanted to see his child. He did see
you often, when you walked alone about
the old plantation, but he dared uot reveal
Iniiwell to you. ISut I will leave to nun
the telling of his wanderiugs. The mis
take about his deuih he kuew lo.Ii
ing ol at the time, and alterwnrds lie was
glad he had not revealed the fact of his
existence, for he could more safely visit
the home of his fathei . I wish 1 could
be with you and sec the glad light leap to
your dear eyes when you rcud the proof of
your father's innocence. But my country
claims me yet. May my sword help to
free her from those who would trample her
rights in the dust."
Eugene Nowel's confession was brief
and to the point, and Val had often to
brush away the happy tears as she read it
Icaniug over her grandfather's shoulder.
"Before I face my Maker a few hours
hence, I must undo, as far as in my pow
er, the wrong 1 onao iuflietcd on George
Trenham. I was employed by Colonel
Myddletou's father to act as his secretary.
While there I met a Miss Issley whom I
soon learned to love with a deep and
sionate lov. Hut she did not return my
affection, aud when I found out that she
loved and was loved by Gjorg! Trenham,
a rich planter's son, I grew almost wild
with jealousy. I tried to shake her trust
iu my successful rival by dirk insinuations
about his character, but she would never
listen to me. Ono ilay she turned ou me
in scorn and said she understood my igno
ble motive in maligning a noble gentleman
and that sho "utterly despised me for it.'
I think my love turned to hatred then, and
my only thought was of revenge. After her
marriage they went abroad and sh. novel
returned. Still her death did not change
my purpose to be revenged on the
who had supplanted uie, and I soon studied
out a way iu which I could accomplish my
wicked desiiu. I was an expeit in the
imitation of handwriting and was about
the same build as young Treubaui. Dic-
guising myself by means of wig and false
bjard, and dressed in a suit as nearly like
his as I could find, ono evening, about
dark I boldly entered the county bank
and presenting one of my employer's
chocks already filled out with George
Trenham 's nunc across it, asked to have it
cashed. I was not even questioned. The
money was ban Jed 1 1 me and as I passed
out one of the clerks wished good-night to
"Mr. Trenham." I soon left the village
and reached the woods whero my own
clothes were hidden. I returned to niywoik
and in a tew days tniorire lrenhnui was
arrested. Part of the money was found in
his room where I bad found an e.ii o rt n ni

tinned Valencia, as the close traveling car
riage made its way through the crowds
that struggled among the ambulances
S'relehers and nurses hurrying to the Cor.
federate camp. Only the day before she
had received that hasty penciled note
from Frank Myddleton telling of Joe'
fatal wound, and begging her to come
him.
They had hurried oft in less than
hour and had traveled all night, fearing
thoy would he too lata. Val shuddered
Ii she thought what that meant, Joe
lay dying, dead perhaps, and she bad been
happy with her newly found fin her
And now she was to lose her earliest
friend .
"Am I never to have a great happiues-',
but that a greater grief must follow?'' she
piestioned bitterly; but she slrugjed
against this rebellious thought; and at last
conquered it. "We are nearly there, are
we uot, father?" she repeated.
Yes, my child, we stop here. I sec
Myddleton waiting for us."
"As ho spuko Frank opened the car
riage door. Without speaking she gazed
beseechingly into his worn face.
"You are just in time," he whispered an
swering the unspoken request in the plead
ing eyes. "He is sinking fast. You must
control yourself for his sake."
"Do not fear for me, only take me to
him," she begged.
He led her to a tent near by, and rais
ing the curtaius passed with her to the in
terior. In one corner, on a low cot rested
the slender form of her lover, ono baud
hung listlessly dowu, the other pressed his
breast, from which tho blood was slowly
oozing. The slight noise they made in
entering moused him, and a swift
briuht smile lichted his countenance at
sight of her. He started up und
tended one orm. "Val! my dearest! It is
good of hand to come. Oh ! my love, I
have so long for you.' '
"You must hi quiet, Joe," she said
placing his head on her bosom, "or the
doctor will not let me stay with you," aud
bending she kissed the pallid lip.
" al, I know I have only a short tunc
to live, and you must not bid me keep
silence. It is my last iutervicw with you.
My dearest, you have been a light, a joy,
a glory to me, my first aud only love. It
is such a comfort to have you with me in
my dying hour." He raised his
wounded arm and drawing dowu her head.
kissed repeatedly, the sweet lips.
"Joe, you must not exhaust yourself so,
Try to sleep," she said in agonized toues,
seeing how weak he grew.
"I do not wish to sleep. I want to talk
to you tho few moiueuts I have to live,
You will te'l my mother aud A!i;c that I
fell where the enemy lay thickest, with my
feet to tho foe. No soldier can claim
more glorious death thau niine. It will
eomfoit my poor mother to know I did
my duty bravely as a soldier should. I
am sorry uot to seen her again, but sh
will soon meet me iu the spiiit-World, and
uutil then, I know you and Alice will com.
fort and cheer her. I am uot afraid to
die, my b.'loved. I feel sure of a resting
place in my Savior's kingdom. And one
day, you'll meet mo there. I once believed
wo would walk this life together, but God
knows best, His will be don:.' His
breath came pantingly and bo ceased from
xhaustiou.
Frank Myddleton saw h iw weak he was
growing, and immediately administered a
stimulant. The dying mull looked at him
gratefully, and taking his baud said rluwly,
Your faithful watch will soon be over,
dear I'rieud. You havo giowu worn ami

of a bidden grief, aud wheu ihe flowers
bloom on my grave I want you to tell Val
what the gift is that I havu left you
Raise me a little higher, Val; I feel as if

Tenderly she raised him, resting the
tired head on her shoulder.
He dozed a few moments, then opened
his eyes in a wide uuseeing stare. "Me
t'lellan is in full retreat," he muttered
How I wish this duel war was over.
He dozed agaiu, und the breath grew

lips tenderly to his. A smile irradiated
his countenance, a slight tremor shook tin
slender form, und all was over. The
"silver cord" was loosed, the "goldeu bowl

of Malvern Hill had parsed away.
The flowers had bloomed and fadi

Myddleton saw Valencia Trenham again
It was her wi-h th-it they should not until

munity, neeluded from the fret
and worry of the outside world.
They are widely known, how
ever, for their strict honor and
probity iu litmineasi.
The Slmkers believe that na
ture lias a remedy for every dis
ease. A few have been found
the rest are as yet unknown.
Many were discovered by acci
dent. Others came to light as
the result of patient experiment
and research.
Nervous Dyspepsia is a com
paratively ntir dihea.se, growing
out of the conditions of Modern
life. It is a joint affection of
the digestive organs and of the
nervous system. These two
were formerly treated as sepa
rate ailments, and it was left
for the clear-sighted Shakers
to prove that the basis of this
terrible and often fatal compli
cation lies chiefly in the disord
ered and depraved functions of
digestion and nutrition. They
reasoned thus: "If we can in
duce the stomach to do its
work, and stimulate the excre
tive organs to drive out of the
body the poisonous waste mat
ters which remain after the life
giving elements of the food
have been absorbed, we shall
have conquered Nervous Dys
pepsia and Nervous Exhaust
ion. And they were right.
Knowing the infallible power
of Shaker Extract (Seigel'a
Syrup) in less complicated
though s i m i 1 a r diseases,
they resolved to test it fully
in this. To leave no ground
for doubt, they prescribed the
remedy in hundreds of cases
which had been pronounced in
curable with perfect success
in every instance where their
directions as to living and diet
were scrupulously followed.
Nervous Dyspepsia and Ex
haustion is a peculiarly Ameri
can disease. To a greater or
less extent half the people of
this country suffer from it
both sexes and all ages. In no
country iu the world are there
so many insane asylums filled
to overflowing, all resulting
from this alarming disease. Ita
leading symptoms are these:
.frequent or continual neaa
ache ; a dull pain at the base
of the brain ; bad breath ; nau
seous eructations; the rising
of sour and pungent fluids to
the throat ; a sense of oppress
ion and faiiitncss at the pit of
the stomach; flatulence; wake
fulness and loss of sleep; dis
gust with food even when
weak from t he need of it ; sticky
or slimy matter on the teeth or
in the mouth, especially on ris
ing in the morning; furred and
coated tongue; dull eyes; cold
hands and feet ; constipation ;
dry or rough skin ; inability to
fix the mind on a;iy labor call
ing for continuous attention;
and oppressive aud sad fore
bodings and fears.
All this terrible group
Shaker Extract (Seigel'g
Syrup) removes by its pos
itive, powerful, direct yet
painless and gentle action upon
the functions of digestion and
assimilation. Those elements
of the food that build up and
strengthen the system are sent
upon their mission, while all
waste matters (t he ashesof life's
fire) which univmoved, poison
and kill, are exiielled from the
body through the iKiwels, kid
neys and skin. The weak and
prostrated nerves are quieted,
toned and fed by the purified
blood. As the result, health,
with its enjoyments, blessings
and power, returns to the suf
ferer who had, perhaps, aband
oned all hope of ever seeing
another well day. ........
