'VnnM Kr. General of volunteers, was transferred from comparative peace and comfort, in one of our inland cities, to a remote military i station, west of the Rocky Mountains. This military station was named Camp Jenkins, after the com mander of a surveying expedition who established it. : It had been established because there were Indians in its vi cinity; the instant that It was estab lished the noble red man faded away like morning mist, with the exception of a few who did washing for their op pressors. . It was a lovely spot; it had cottonwood and willow trees standing on the banks of a rivulet of clear and sparkling spring water, and the parade n-ound was a magnificent lawn of vel vety grass. Around this parade ground Daisy as an adherent that must be won stood the auarters of the erarrison : at to her side. But Daisi would not ally. the head, four cottages belonging to the herself to either the Bullington. or the feminine ear is struck by the tones of a marm." said the man persuasively. "Women are scarce here abouts, and we7a like to have you ana your daughter mere to trot out a little. We don't want bo folks here that won' dance." - r ' In spite of the presence of General Bullington, pcor Daisy felt a little frightened. Slfe did not want to dance with a man whose pistol and bowie- knife were his tpiost striking features. Just as she was fitting there, perplexed and confused, hardly realizing what the various men about her were trying to say, the tone's of a man's voice, which sounded fresh, pleasant and manly, struck her ear. Now, when the officers and the surereon: while the barracks and the guard-room completed three sides of the triangle, the fourth being left open, and showing a wonder ful tilcture of rjurole mountains, barren and verdureless for thousands of feet, Daisy and Mrs. Crestl : were Crestle faction ; though; she was a great man's voice, the feminine eye turns to net with the General, and accepted look at the owner of the voice. The numberless little attentions from Col. voice said rvpstlp- i ,!. . - " Whv.

Outside of Camp Jenkins, for miles around, were deserts of sage brush ; inside was a natural landscape, that by contrast seemed a bit of a para dise. The inhabitants of this paradise were, at the opening of this story, in the Adamite condition as far as the absence of women were concerned. Mrs. Gen. Bullington had flatly refused to accompany , the General when she first heard the news of his transference to the West ; afterwards, finding that the General was placidly preparing to go without her, she determined to fol low, i Imagine, then, the scene as I have described it at Camp Jenkins, while Gen.

"Crestle I" cried the General to his Lieutenant, who was crossing the pa rade ground ; "look here, will you ?" said Mrs. Bullmsrton's piazza together, a Ser geant came up with a j message to the General, which he delivered and went away." i -Si ' "What a handsome-soldier!"

Daisy stood there, very pretty and slightly vexed, pull ing a bouquet to pi&ies, as the calm stream of Mrs. Bullin'jton's discourse " meandered gently bn. Again the Ser Lieut. Crestle, formerly a Lieutenant geant appeared, and stood before them. Colonel of volunteers, not only looked there, as the General requested, but came there, and stood by the side of his commanding officer. He was a handsome and soldierly-looking fellow, dear to Gen. Bullington because he was brave, honorable, a graduate of West Point, and a Philadelphian. "Crestle," said the General, "my wife is coming next week." "So is mine," replied Crestle.

"At least, you talk to me as I have heard other young gentlemen no, I don't mean that who are you ?" ' "Don't ask me, please, Miss Gil bert," said the Sergeant.

There will be miners and all jsorts of dreadful creatures there; and it's fifteen miles away from here. - Our going 'is quite ativeof Mrs. Joseph Curran, of Phila delphia a charming woman, and a very dear friend of mine ?" " I am her husband's nephew," said in the Mr. Harry Curran, with a bow. "Dear me!" said Mrs. Bullington; " I thought your face seemed familiar. General, how much he reminds one of DAisy, suddenly Joseph Curran." " Very," said the General. " You must take good care of Daisy to-night," said Airs. JJuJlington, bland seated in the ambulance, Daisy found she had forgotten her fan, and It was absolutely necessary to go back and get it. isut at last they reached tne camp, and Daisy broke the silence which had oppressed them with the words : ' " Quite safe I ' Oh , I'm so glad !" "Of course ' we are quite safe, you foolish child," said Mrs. General Bul lington. ; " You had better go straight to bed. You have been dancing too much.", And Daisy thought perhaps she had, though she did not say any thing, but went slowly, very slowly, to sleep. " To-morrow morning," she thought , " when he comes, as he probably will, to the General's cottage with some mes sages, he will not find me there, and that will disappoint him. And wnen he does see me he will smile from un der his mustache his mustache is cer tainly very becoming and I shall look very blank. How disappointed he will be!" And so Daisy besran to dream. The next day found Daisy very fret ful and disappointed. Cause her plans had been frustrated. In the first place he . did not come m the morning; in the second place, when he did come, in the afternoon, he did not smile from under his mustache, partly be cause his mustache was shaved on, and partly because, having flirted occasion ally in his life before, he was prepared for a feminine reaction on the part of Daisy from the graciousness of her be havior on the preceding night. But the next day General Bulling ton, who had made a pet in every way of Daisy, blindly became an instrument in the hands of Providence. " My dear," said he, " I have found a horse m the camp that will just suit you. Horse-back riding .will 'do you good." . ; " Oh I it will be lovely," cried Daisy, joyously ; and then, as an afterthought, added, " but 1 can't go alone, General.". " That is true," said the Genesal. "I have told Sergeant Butler to act as your escort. le is a good, honest sort of a fellow very trustworthy; and, while he rides behind you, you can feel quite safe." "I should feel safe, I know, Gener al," said Daisy, demurely : " but would it be proper?" ".Proper! Oh, confound it I" said the General : " I forgot all about that. I'll ask Matilda:" Matilda, on being asked, and on hear ing casually that Mrs. Crestle had said it would be improper, immediately ex pressed her opinion that Mrs. Crestle was a fool. "If it were with a Lieutenant," said Mrs. General Bullington, decisively, "objections could be raised. But what is a Sergeant? The idea is absurd." So it was settled ; and one pleasant morning in May, .Daisy and sergeant Butler started, together for the moun tains. ' The scenery was barren, the bliage mostly sagebrush; yet Daisy elt that she was going to enjoy her ride. She glanced furtively at the Ser geant, who looKed rigidly proper. le did not speak ; he was attentive, obedient, energetic : so Daisy herself finally made a remark. "I suppose General Bullington told you that you were to ride out with me whenever I wanted to go?" "Yes, miss," said the Sergeant. -"Now don't talk in that stiff way," said Daisy, "when you 'know I know better. Please don't be a Sergeant, Mr. Curran." "Very well, then," said Mr. Curran, becoming elastic suddenly, "if you are so kind as to let me be my old self." "Why, of course," said Daisy. Ser geants are not interesting." "Thanks for the implied compli ment." "Don't suppose that I imply any thing," said Daisy. "Only please tell me your story." "I have none to tell," said Mr. Cur ran. "Oh, very well, then!" said Daisy, and pouted. She could pout. "Well, really, Miss Gilbert," said Mr. Curran, "there is little to tell.

The General felt vaguely that there was a natural antagonism between Mrs. Crestle and his wife, and introduced them with the air of a martyr. I am happy to meet you, Mrs. Crestle," said Mrs. Gen. Bullington. "You are very kind," returned Mrs. Crestle. Mrs. Crestle was a small wo man, Mrs. Bullington a large one, but size is not always victorious in feminine contests. Msyour husband stationed here?" inquired Mrs. Bullington. t4Yes, Mrs. Bullington," replied Mrs. Crestle. "Colonel Crestle was trans ferred to this place by the same order that sent your husband here." "Ah !" remarked Mrs. Bullington, in a slightly surprised tone. "Is your husband a Colonel, then ?" - "That is his volunteer rank." reDlied Mrs. Crestle, sweetly, "just as Brigadier General by brevet is Captain Bulling- i ton's, you know.'? - The sJorxnisn tuna proved successful far Mrs. Crestle. Mrs. Bullington re alized it, and wondered whether that audacious woman, as she inwardly designated Mrs. Crestle, would ever dare to address her as Bullington." As for the Mrs. "Tf. i possiDio lor us to go, and I lor one should enjoy it. General, we will go, and will take Daisy With us." 44 Very well,", said the General sub missively. 1 M;M Now. Mrsi Gen. Bullington .did not wish to go to the ball at Porter's Gulch, and only the controversial spirit in spired her to do so. But, of course, it was impossible for her ;to recede from her position ; and so,; on the appointed evening, she and Daisyy together with Geri. Bullington and Dr. Gilbert, en tered the huge mountain wagon be longing to the canopy land started for Porter's Gulch. Just-as they entered that flourishing settlement, Dr.. Gilbert was recognized, and t carried off to at tend a sick person near; so that the Bullinsrtons and Daisy entered the dining-room of the Gulch House, w here the ball was to take place, alone. The dining-room wa$ certainly not an imposing apartment. : The ceiling was low and smoky ; the wralls, unlike those in most of the houses at Porter's Gulch, were papered,1 but with paper so hideous in its desigrif and color as to make the spectator regret that the laths and plaster (which had, t all events, the merit of simplicity) Afro lancing, and enjoys the picturesque el ement she finds among these people. Only the other day she quite went into raptures over such a common-place looking Sergeant at the camp said he was handsome; so ridiculous, you Know." The child upon this blushed vividly, and hastily said it was time for the next dance; upon which Mr. Curran checked the flow of Mrs. Bullington's conversation by carrying Daisy off. 44 Are you really Mr. Joseph Curran's nephew ?" asked Daisy. 44 Gertainly," said Mr. Curran. Daisy looked carefully at him. He seemed handsome; but she fancied his look had a little exultation in it. . 44 Do you know who the handsome Sergeant at the camp is ?" she asked, and had the pleasure of seeing a shade of doubt appear in his expression. 44 No, I do not," he said. 44 Has he a moustache?" 44 Oh no," replied Daisy ; 44 a full beard and taller and darker than you are. And I only said he was handsome to tease Mrs. Bullington." 44 Will you do me a favor?" asked Mr. Curran. 44 Perhaps," said Daisy. " What is it!" " When Mrs. Bullington is ready to leave, delay her little," replied Mr. Harrv Curran, 44 until we can start ahead of them,, and get back to the camp irtirriQ." Now, t& - this moment the wrath of Mrs. General Bullington was aroused. She sat and looked upon the throng, but mingled not with them. Now, be- "You can skin that." said Daisv. "Well, then," continued Mr. Curran, "I was engaged to be married by my uncle, who has taken care of me since my parents died, and whose fortune I was to inherit. Now it is a good thing to be engaged. My uncle and myself were agreed on that point, but we dif fered on another." 44 And that was?" asked Daisy. 44 And that was the woman to be se lected.

" " I r : At one end of the room the orchestra over, trie ueneral was seen with his fishing-tackle making his way to the trout stream. Two days after this, Mrs. Dr. Gilbert arrived ;and with her came her sister-in-law, Daisy Gilbert. Daisy Gilbert was uncommonly pretty. She had curls and dimples -and smiles fluttering around and across her face. She was lithe and CTaceful. thoucrh petit. ' She had considerable independence of char acter. Kne seldom asked advice, and the caller of the figures began to find vent. Accordingly he varied his calls from the dull and sterreotyped routine. Instead of " Lady forward, and swing opposite gentleman, and balance to fourth gentleman," he cried, 44 Lady forward, and swing the handsomest man in the room, and then balance to the man she loves best." This filled the bosom of Mrs. Gen. Bullington with disgust, and when Daisy and .My. Curran returned, she announced her wasn't it" said Daisy. . 4 4 Very," said Mr. Curran. So, after this, Daisy rode out fre quently with her Sergeant; and as peo ple generally mind their own business west of the Mississipi nothing was said, except by the private soldiers, who naturally envied their comrade's luck. But one July, when Gen.

They stopped;' They were -on the opposite side of ! the creek ; and the General was forced to elevate his voice slightly, so that the tableau was not entirely impressive. 44 What," said the General, sternly, "does all this mean ?" Then Daisy bei2ran to crv. and the a violin, a guitar, a cornet, and a base trumpet. The performers of these va rious instruments seemed to have va rious ideas of time and! tune, and con- still more seldom took it. She was, in tinually indulged in little departures sat in state, composed jpf a melodeon, intention of leaving " this disgraceful Sergeant tried to explain in a straight- a word, a spirited, little beautv. By the time of her arrival there was a distinctly recognized hostility be tween Mrs. Gen. Bullington and Mrs. Crestle. They'stili greeted each other politely enough ; but Col. Crestle did not smoke an after-dinner cigar, as formerly, on the piazza of Gen. Bul lington's cottage ; and a distinct boun dary line seemed now to be drawn be tween the respective, premises of the two gentleman. ' ! TIi2 arrival of Daisy Gilbert produc ed a marked eiToct on the camp. In the from the key in which, they were play ing. The blast of the trumpet was not sustained, but intermittent, when it did occur, however, it; was so powerful as to entirely drown everything else.
