It :'" was plain that .he was suffering from i nostalgia, or homesickness, a trouble A"'' far! more common in war than cow ' ardice,'. Could ,1 have, brought some member of his family to Urn I -fe reasonably certain' that It would save ' his life, but 1 dlOn'tkBow whom to ad - ' dress, and, well, to tell theSruth, be '' was not the only man in the hospital I had on' niy ''riilnd. and, I "didn't have '. . time to take any action., r .

The day of their ar- '' rival I was at work with a caBe so dis tresslng tbiit 1 placed a screen about 1 "the patient to sLut him off from the others. ' From behind this screen I he&M voices.' " . ' "Ifwas very good of you. Jenny, to , come down hire to take care of me, f' The' surgeon wanted to send for some i- dne I from home, but I wouldn't let . . him. You see, mother didn't want me to go to the war, and it would not be the right thing to have any one come -Vi to this Topbet on my account or even to ki' let you know I've been winged, for they'd do a lot of worrying, especially mother." ' 1 recognised Clifford's voice and look ed over the screen and saw one of the ' 1 nurses sitting by him. holding his band. ,. , j'ToU must keep up a good heart," she replied, "so that you may get well and go borne. i "That Til do very quickly now you're here.

' She told me that Clifford was a - trifle flighty and had mistaken ber for some one at home. Thinking that the : arrival of the real Jenny for as soon as Clifford came to himself the Illusion would, be gone might save the boy's 1, life, we concluded to send a message to ... that effect to his people.'. The nurse rouna letters in nis pocaew giving uuv ' desired address, and the message was ant. f Clifford when not delirious treat . ed the nurse as a stranger, , but when "delirious as "Jenny." Meanwhile, he ' was losing strength dally: One morning soon after the arrival ' of a shin from the north I-was to.d thst Miss'. Clifford -was on the. veranda and wished to ' see me. I went out there and saw a young woman in train c. ed nurse costumei , . t , ' "I have ome to take care fcf ; my brother," she said.; "though I am also ready for other work.

Ills sister passed her hand over bis brow and whispered a few words, and in a little while the boy fell into a doze. 5 ' Tbe tonic of this meeting was all that was required, and in a few days Eugene bad gained sufficient strength for his sister to do other work. Mean while I had observed that Mips Clifford possessed an administrative ability, a cool bead which she never lost and splendid nerve.

Justice Harlaa insy, ,f he .rhooieifc. nttn on full pay, bat fers to continue actively In the career in which he has so long been conspicu ous ' , All bis life Mr. Harlan has been ot v judicial turn of mind. His father was a lawyer, and be himself bean the name of the great chtef justice, John Marshall, whose' principles he has warmly espoused." Justice Harlan, who Is a native of Kentucky, studied and practiced law with his father and thus was early brought into -familiar inter course with Judges and lawyers of note ; in 1853 be was admitted to the bar and five years later was elected judge of the Franklin county court but held ,tbe office for a' year ohly, Removing to Louisville.' be formed a la W. part nership with the' Hon.

When the civil war was break ing out be organised and became colo nel of the Tenth Kentucky volunteer Infantry, one of the regiments consti tuting the original division of General George II. Thomas. At the time that be, took this active part in the support of tbe national government the loyalty of his state was doubted by many, and the action of every citlxcn was of mo ment " i - , it In I83,- having retired from the. ar my, he was elected attorney general of Kentucky and filled that office for four years. H was the Republican nomi nee for governor of Kentucky in 1871 and again In 1875 Although it was expected that he would, become attor ney general in the cabinet of President Hayes, he was offered instead a for eign mission, which he declined, pre ferring not to hold any office not con nected with his profession. ' " On Mot:' 29, 1877,' he was commis sioned an associate Justice of the Unit ed States supreme court In the prime of bis physical and mental manhood. being at that time but forty-four years old, be devoted all bis energies to, the work before turn, ana nu judicial rep utation has grown from year to year.

Suffice it to say that all the parties ex cept the husband of. the English girl referred to and Saf vet .Pasha are still alive, that I know them all personally and that I have simply altered their names f of various reasons: s V " '$..' Hussein Bey for so I shaJI call blxn was a Turk of the Turks, of the bSpeet blood that ever flowed In the veins of a Moslem. His father, was a pasha of areat distinction, bis mother the wo thy daughter of a worthy - follower of the prophet and Hussein as a lsd five times a day recited the Mohammedan' creed with a fervor which left nothing to be desired. ' In process of time Hussein developed artUtiC powers, which his parents were anxious to cultivate. "He must go. to raris," they said, "and learn painting of the giaours, who know more about these matters than the children of the prophet whom AUah keeps in bis eter nal rest - . ". -"i So Hussein's name was one day men tioned to the Sultan Abdul Asia, who was good enough to nominate him forthwith one bf the attaches to the Turkish embassy In Paris. ' At this time Hussein was about nine teen years old, good looking, smart im pressionable, and when he went off many a Moslem damsel who had hoped to marry lim Walled with a great For a couple Of" years' Hussein beU J bis appointment ;in the Turkisn am- hHRsador'a Suit Painting witn sucn sua cess under the care of a first rate Parisian master that at length bis pic tures, which were usually fronrlnanl mate nature.

In that family there was a comedy British maiden daughter of the bead of the bouse Whose long eyelashes. trlnPlne step. Silvery laugh and pleas ant conversation made a great Impres sion upon Hussein Bey; Gradually as the days wore on the Moslem youth, fell in love with this dainty damsel, got to worship the ground on which she trod, sighed to make, her his very own. And I grieve to saythat the young lady, who should have discour aged, these advances, smiled on his love. r ' 7 f ' ' ' . "i' - . , At last he "popped the question," was accepted and even received by ,the father or the family with a hearty, Wei,-, come. All he now bad to do was ".to speak to the ambassador a good bear- ed old pasha and tbe tning eouiq ue arranged forthwith,, for Hussein's fa ther , bad died leaving him moderate rich, and therrtteed be no delay of tijf nuptials. ' - "'j'', 'w Away went Hussein to his chief, Excellency,", he said as be bowed low and touched the ground in. front of tbe pasha with the back of, his band, fl love a rare and radiant maiden named Ellen, an English girl.. (,Glve me yoar consent and I will.be wd," ., i JA "Inshallahf Please God!) responded old Safvet Pasha. "Do you love this giaour gir) T" ' , ,-:. "Yes, with all my hearer was Hua- sein's reply. v fThen come here, this evening about 9 o'clock,? replied Safvet ,rWe must act at once." t - Hussein went away overjoyed. , The ambassador had not reproved him. In fact, a subtle smile, doubtless of satis faction, had played upon his face as he spoke. Hussein felt that all would be right,;.; c r ..".-." 1 t That night be went to the embassy, there to be seized, by-servants of the pasha, tied band and. foot gagged. sent off to Marseilles by the night train ln a reserved carriage, thence to be shipped off In a Turkish vessel to, Con stantinople, where be arrived lq due course a nd where - he married . forth with by cdmmand of the stem .Abdul Asia, who never allowed himself, to bp disobeyed, a Mohammedan damsel se lected for him by the sultan s, chief eunnch. , , , t am not going to describe Hussein's grief, for that I should require many columns, but , Hussein mourned for many, a year for his first love, who. by, the way. married an. Englishman andj went to live In a suburb oj Iondon. One day Hussein was sent by the, present sultan,: of s-Turkey, t Abdul Hamid, to London on a mission. . I met hinjifi, We spent many evenings together, and I thought he had forgot ten all about the British girl, when one night be asked me if, we could go and see ber. "Only a minute,", he pleaded. "and In .your presence.", I will not de tail , hew I arranged a meeting but they did see each .other;, she in the iqualid home of a man who earned lit tle and drank much: he, the wealthy favorite of a great oriental potentate. As I led him away, bathed In tears. be murmured: "I don't think I should have fait to sad bad I but found her happy." ' Oaatlaaa Thla Tiaa.
