KEVENGED. T was about half an hour after sunset, but au orange liht still burned above the lonely southern val ley. The trembling evening star was sb1 haniuff over the irrt'Pn silenne f)f the fragrant Tennessee woods.- Vapor wreathed phantoms from the river course, ami from the dense thickets that skirted 1 the camp irruimd came ever and anon the mournful sound of whippoor wills, souadini faint and low, like the remem bered cchoe3 of a dream. Yet Wallaca Keene would have given well uiii all he was wortli to exchange its luxuriaut verdufe one moment only for the pine clad heights and salt winds of Maun, with russet winged robins chirping their familiar madrigals in the apple orchards below. "Two years ago I left home," mur mured Wallace Keene as ho gazed thoughtfully out where the purple sky seemed to touch tho waving woods. "Two years since youug Harney told me he never would give Marion to 4a com mon mechanic,' yet the wouud rankles sharply still." "Captain" "Is that you, Spicer? What now?" Captain Keene turned his face toward the opening of the tent, where Private Spicer'a head was just visible. "Why, sir,- our fellows have ju?t brought in that lot o' men that wa? hurt in that scrimmage across the rivar this morning, and some on 'em is wouncbl bad." "I will ba there directly, Spicer." There was a little crowd of men gath ered oh tho rivor shore ia the warm glow of the spring, but they silently parted right and left for Captain Keeno's tall ligure to pass through their midst. Six or seven dusty, bleeding men were sitting and lying around in various pas tures, their ghastly brows made still paler bjr the faint, uncertain glimmer of the young moon. Keene glanced quickly aroun1, taking in the whole sceno ia that one brief survey He stopped short as his ef ell oa a new face, half shadowed by iite green sweep of drooping alders a pale, b!ool streaked face with a gaping cut oa tho forehead. "This is not one of our men!" he ex claimed sharply. "How came he here'1 2io, sir," exclaimed Spicsr, stepping forward.. "I think he belonged to the Eighth. I'm sure I don't know how ha ever got mixed up wiih our fellows, but there he was, and I thought we'd better not wait for. their ambulance, but bring him straight here." "Right," brie3y pronounced Keene, stooping over the insensible tigur. "Let them carry him to my tent. Spicer." "I beg your pardon, captain to your tent!" "Didn't you hear what I said V sharp ly interrogated the superior o5xr. "Bruce, make the Others comfortable in . Lieutenant Ord way's quarters. There 1 " ' '-' M III -MM- .1,-..,,, M 11 I. II in rill b? plenty of room for them there." "Wei!, I'm beati" ejaculated SpScer five or ten minutes afterward as he came out of the captain's tent scratching his shock of coarse red curls. Meanwhile the dim light of a limp swinging from the I center of the little tent shone full on the singular group within its circling roas the wounded private lying like a corpse, still aud palp, oa the narrow iron bedstead, the young olficer leaning over him and supporting his head and the brisk, gray eyed little stugeoa keenly surveying both as he uo foldei his caso of phials and powders. "He is not dead, doctor?" "No; but he would have been in an other half hour. Your prompt remedie; have saved his life, Captain Keene. "Thank God! oh, thank God!" - The surgeon looked at Keene in amazemeut. "He doesn't belong to your regiment. Whv arc you so interested in the case?" 'Because, doctor," said Keene, with a strange, bright smile, "when I saw him lyiug under the alders, dead, as I thought, I rejoiced in my secret heart. At lirst only at first. The next moment I remembered that I was a man aod a Christian. For year3 I have carried the spirit of Cain in my breast toward that mai; now it is washed out in his blood." It was higli noon of the next day be fore the wounded man started from a fevered doze into the faint dawn of con 'iousness. ' "WWe am I?" he faltered, looking wildly around him, with an ineffectual eiTort to raise hii dizzy head from the pillow, ' "Now, be easy," said Private Spicer, who was cleaning his gun by the bed side. "You're all right, my boy. "Where arc you V Why in the captain's tent, to be sure, and that's pretty good quar ters for the rank and file, I should think." -The captain's tent? How came I hercj" - "That's just what I can't tell you you'll have to ask himself, I guess'. You ain't any relatiou to Captain Keene, be you?,J "Keene Keene 1" repeated the man. "Because," pursue ! Spicer, "IT you'd been his own brother born, ho couldn't have taken better care of you. His cousin, maybe!" "No! God forgive me, no!" faltered the wounded man with a low, bitter groan." "Here he it now," said Spicer, the familiar accents of his voice falling to a more respectfully modulated tone as he rose and saluted his oliiccr. "He's au right, captain as clear headed as a bell!" : ! 'Very well. Spicy; you can go." The private obeyed wit alacrity. When they weie alone together in the tent, Wallace Keene. came to the low bedside, 1 "So youre all right, Mr. Harney?" he asked kiofily. "Captain Keene," murmured Harney, shrinking from the soothing tone as if it had been a dagger's point, "I have no right to expect this treatment at your hands." "Oh, never mind,' said the young man lightly. "What can I do to make you more comfortable?" Harney was silent, but his eyes were full of the teir3 he fain would drive back tears of remorseful shame and he turned his rlu3hed face away let the man he had once sd grossly iasultei should see them fall. The next day he again allude 1 to the home subject. "Captain Keene, you askel m yes terday what you could do for me!" "Yes." "I want you to obtain leava for Mty to ome aad nurse me when I am trans ferred to the hospital." Captain Keene turaei toward the sick man a face white and hard a? raarhio and said in a strangely altered voice: . "03 you mean your sister 2" "My sister yes." "OI course, if you wish it, I caa ob tain permission, Harney. Bat "Well?" Ketins's cheek' c ol ore i, and he bit his Up. "I should not suppose she would bo willing to leava fcerushaai for the very uncertain coaifortsof hospital life,' Harney smiled, looking i-to his co panio2e face with keen, searching eyas. "May is no: minied, iptiia Keene. She has no such sppsa&i? a has bind!" "otIauried, "I know what yon thrixht. Sh? wis engaged and almoit marnei.

Keene had risea an ! wa Piug up an i down the narrow limits of the tea: with feverish haste.

"Harney you do no; mean to sy "I do, though, old feilo-w, ail, war. is more, I mean to siv that since 1're been lying in this teat my eyw have been pretty thoroighly ojeaei to m own absurd folly a?d impertinence." Captain Keene wrung his coupnioa4 and and hurried away, to mist ik th bootjack for the inkstand and t o li mit several pther no less inexcusibic a -surdities.

Twenty ThousarriPeople in a Crater. Thirty miles from the city of K i na mota, Jaoau, is the volcano Asa San. This volcano has the largest crater in tho world. It is more than thirty miles iu circumference, and peopled by U.),000 inhabitants. Think of walking for mile among fertile farms and prosperous vil lages, peering into schoolhouse windows and sacred shriues well within the shell of an old-time crater, whose walls rise 300 feet all about you. It gives one a queer feeling. Hot springs abound everywhere. In. one place I saw the brick-red hot water utilized to turn a rice mill. The inner crater is nearly half a mile in diameter, and a steady column of roaring steam pours out of it. The last serious eruption was in ISSi, when immense quantities of black ashes and dust were ejected and carried by tho wind as far as Kumaraota, where for three days it was so dark that artificial light had to be used. But what inter ested mo most was to learn that out of that old-time crater had come not only a stream of pure water aud m iuy kinds of farm products, but young men who, seeking a wider school and homo than the mouth of a vigorous volcano, ha 1 found their way to Kumamota, Kyoto and America, and wero now foremost among jthe Christian educators and preachers of Jap3a. Tne pulpit orator of Osaka, the principal of au English school at4vumamotav who is a graduate of Andover, aad one of the Doshisha prot essors at Kyoto, a New ltar?n uate, all came from that valley of death.
