CHAPTER XXXVIIv Continued.
"Hey, there, you gray-back!"
shouted, "hold on a bit!"
As I came to a pause and glanced
back, wondering If there could be any
thing wrong with my parole, be swung
bis cap and pointed.
"That officer coming yonder wants
to speak with you."
Across the open field at my right,
hidden until tben by a slight rise of
ground, a mounted cavalryman was
riding rapidly toward me. For tbe
moment bis lowered bead prevented
recognition, but as be cleared th
ditch and came up smiling, I saw It

tbe ground beside me. "I've actually,

For a few moments we walked
together In silence, each leading his
nurse.
"Wayne," be asked at length, gian-
cmg mruveiy at me, aa if to mark
tbe effect of his words, "did you know
that Mrs. Brennan was again with

"I was not even aware she had boen

"Oh, yes; sbe returned North Imme

nic pavilion. It is quite tbe fashion

of one of tbe division commanders

know."
There was much I J on red to ask
regarding her, but I would Hot venture
to f .a ha suspicions, la hope that I
r
J"
to become my wife while I continue
to wear this uniform. By the way;
Mrs. fireman was asking Cella only
yesterday if she bad heard anything
of you since the surrender." ,
"She is at Appomattox, then?" i'f
"No, at the headquarters of the
Slxtb Corps, only a few miles north
from here."
"And the Major r
Caton glanced at me, a peculiar
look in his face, but answered simply:
"Naturally I bave bad small inti
macy with him after what occurred
at Mountain View, but he Is still re
tained upon General Sheridan's staff.
At Mrs. Brennan's request we break
fasted together yesterday morning, but
I believe he Is at tbe other end of the
lines today."
We sat down upon a bank, and for
the time I forgot disaster while list
ening to his story of love and hit
plans for the future. His one thought
of Cella and tbe Northern home so
soon now to be made ready for her
coming. The sun sank lower Into the
western sky, causing Caton to draw
down his fatigue cap until Its glazed
visor almost completely bid his eyes.
With buoyant enthusiasm he talked
on, each word drawing me closer to
nlm In bonds of friendship. But the
time of parting came, and after we
had promised to correspond with each
other, I had stood and watched while
he rode rapidly bark down the road
we had traversed together. At the
summit of the bill he turned and
waved his cap, then disappeared,
leaving me alone, with Edith's fare
above the ashes of war Into great'
neas never before equaled. 1 feel
that now. In this supreme hour of sac
rifice, the men and women of the
South are to exhibit before tbe world
courage greater than that ot tbe
battlefield. It la to be the m-rvel of
the nation, and the thought and pride
of It should make you strong."
"It may Indeed be so; I can but be
lieve It a the prophecy comet from
your lips. I might even find courage
to do my part In this redemption were
you ever at band to Inspire."
Sbe laughed gently. "I am not
Virginian, Captain Wayne, but a most
loyal daughter of tbe North; yet If
1 so Inspire you by my mere words,
surely It Is not so far to my borne
but you might Journey there to listen
to my further words of wisdom."
"I bave not forgotten the permis
sion already granted me, and It Is a
temptation not easily cast aside. You
return North soon?"
"Within a week."
I hardly knew what prompted me
to voice my next question Pate, per
baps, weary of being so long mocked
for I felt small Interest In ber prob
able answer.
'Do you expect your husband's re
lease from duty by that time?"
She gave a quick start of surprise,
drawing in her breath as though sud
denly choked. Tben tbe rich color
overspread her face. "My husband?"
she ejaculated in voice barely audi
ble, "my husband? Surely you can
not mean Major Brennan?"
"But I certainly do," I said, won
dering what might be wrong. "Whom
else could I mean?"
"And you thought that.'" she asked
Incredulously. "Why, how could you?"
"How should I rave thought other
wise?" I exclaimed, my eyes eagerly
searching her downcast face. "Whr,
Caton told me It was so the night I
was before Sheridan; he confirmed It
again In conversation less than an
hour ago. Colgate, my Lieutenant,
who met you In a Baltimore hospital,
referred to him the same way. If I
bave been deceived through all these
months, surely everything and every
body conspired to that end you bore

my memory of defeat her face, fair,

other man's wife. .
CHAPTER XXXVIII.
My Lady of the North.
I walked the next mile thought-
luuy, ponaenng over tnose vague
hopes and plans with which Caton's
optimism bad Inspired me. Suddenly
there sounded behind mo tbe thul or
hoofs, while I heard a merry peal of
laughter, accompanied by gay ex
change ot words. I drew aside, lead
ing my horse into a small thicket be
side the road to permit tbe cavalcade
to pass. It was a group of perhaps a
aoxen tnree or rour federal officers,
tne remainaer laaies, whose bright
oresses ana smiling races made a
most winsome sight Tbuy glanced
curiously aside at me as they galloped
past But none paused, and I merely
glanced at tnem with vague Interest
my thoughts elsewhere. Suddenly a
horse semed to draw back from out of
the center of tbe fast disappearing
party.
I had led my limping borse out Into
the road once more to reaume mr
Journey, paying scarcely the slightest
attention to what was taking place,
for my bead was again throbbing to
the hot pulse of tbe sun. Tbe party
of stranger rode slowly away into
tbe enveloping dust cloud, and I bad
forgotten them, when a low, sweet
voice spoke close beside me: "Cap
tain Wayne, I know you cannot have
forgotten m.' -.
She was leaning down from tbe
saddle, and aa I glanced eagerly up
Into ber dear, eyes they were swim
ming with tear. .
'Forgotten! Never for one mo
ment" I exclaimed; "yet I failed to
perceive your presence until yon
spoke."
"You appeared deeply burled In
thought aa we rode by, but I could not
leave you without a word when t
knew you must feel so bad. jh, but
you. Captain Wayne, you have youth
and love to Inspire you for your
mother yet live. Truly It makes my
heart throb to think of the upbuilding
which awaits you men. of the South.
It Is through such as you soldiers
trained by stern duty that these
elated states are destined to rise
er Frank and Edith. From first to
last not one word has been spoken
by any one to cause me to doubt that
you were his wife."
"I recall starting to explain all this
to you once," she said, striving vainly
to appear at ease. "It was when we
were interrupted by tbe sudden com
ing upon us of Mr. and Mrs. Bungay.
Yet I supposed you knew, that you
would bave learned the facta from
others. The last time we were to
gether I told you I did not wholly un
derstand you. It Is no wonder, when
you thought that of me." ,
"I am going to tell you my story,
Captain Wayne. It Is not a pleasant
task under these circumstances, yet
one I owe you as well as myself. Tbl
may prove our last meeting, and we
must not part under the ahadow of a
mistake, however Innocently It may
have originated. . I am tbe only child
of Edwin Adams, a manufacturer, of
Stonlngton, Connecticut. My father
was also for several terms a member
of Congress front that State. . As the
death of my mother occurred whea
was but five years old, all my father
love was lavished upon me, and
grew up surrounded by every ad van
tage wblcb abundant means and blgh
social position could supply. During
all those earner years my playmate
and most Intimate companion was
Charles Brennan, a younger brother of
the Major, and the son of Judge David
Brennan of tbe State Supreme Court.
As we grew older bis friendship for
me ripened Into love, a feeling which I
found it impossible to return. I liked
him greatly, valued him most highly.
continued bis constant companion,
yet experienced no desire for closer
relationship. My position was ren
dered the more difficult as It bad long
been the dream of tbe beads of both
bouses that our two families, with
their contingent estates, should be
thus united, and constant urging tried
my decision severely. Nor would
Charles Drennan give up hope. When
be was twenty and I barely seventeen
a most serious accident occurred a
runaway In which Charles heroically
preserved my life, but himself re
ceived Injuries, from which death In
a short time waa inevitable. In those
last lingering days of suffering, but
one hope, one ambition, seemed to
possess bis mind the desire to make
tne his wire, and leave me the fortune
which was bis through the will of bis
mother. I cannot explain to you, Cap
tain Wayne, tbe struggle I passed
through, seeking to do what was right
and best; but finally, moved by my
sympathy, eager to soothe bis final
hours of suffering, and urged by my
rather, I consented to gratify his wish,
and we were united In marriage while
be was on bis deathbed. Two days
later he passed away.

eyes moist with unshed tears. Scarce
knowing It, my hand sought hers.

"His brother," she paused slowly,

man nearly double tbe age of Charles,

estate, to retain Its management until
I should attain tbe age of twenty-one
Less than a year later m.' father also
died. The final settlement ot bis es
tate was likewise entrusted to Frank
Krennan, and be was made my guard
ian. Quite naturally I became a reBl
dent of tbe Brennan household, upon
the same standing as a daughter, be
ing legally a ward of my husband's
brother. Major Brennan's age, and
his tnotiRhtful kindness to me, won
my respect and 1 gradually rame to
look upon him air est as an elder
brother, turning to him in every time
of trouble for tncouragement and
help. It was the necessity of our
business relation which first com
pelled me to come South and Join
Major Brennan in rami.; aa be was
unable to obtain leave of absence, i
was obliged to make the trip. Not
until that time, Captain Wayne In
deed, not until after our experience
at Mountain View did I fully realize
that Major Brennan looked upon me
otherwise than as a guardian upon bis
ward. Tbe awakening period pained
me greatly, especially as I was
obliged to disappoint him deeply; yel
I seek to retain his friendship, for my
memory of his long kindness must
ever abide. I am sure you will under
stand, and not consider me unwoman
ly In thus making you a confidant
"I can never be' sufficiently grate
ful that you bave thua trusted me," I
said with an earnestness that caused
her to lower her questioning ees. "It
has been a strange misunderstanding
between us, Mrs. Brennan, but your
words bave brought a new hope to
one disheartened Confederate soldier.
I must be content wltb hope, yet I am
rich compared with. thousands of oth
ers; infinitely rich In comparison wltb
what I dreamed myself an hour ago."
I held out my hand. "There will corns
a day when I shall answer your In
vitation to the Norm."
"You are on' your way borne?'
"Yes; to take a fre-' -old upon life,
trusting that sometime in the early
future I may feel worthy to come to
you." I ' ''
"Worthy?" she echoed the word, a
touch ot scorn In ber voice, her eyes

made by you?; Can you not conceive

Last week we were studying the fun
damental principles of this new king
dom Jesus came to establish. Today
our study presents another of bis
seeming paradoxes, vis., the blessed'
ness or tbe happiness of poverty, bun
ger and persecution! Spoken primari
ly to the twelve, Jesus intended these
words for all the people-.-preeeot nnd
prospective. Jesus is distinctly the
Door man's friend. He knew tbe mean
Ing of hunger and thrist of weeping
and mourning, and so contrasts the
Joy that shall be to these "happy ones'
with the "woe" that shall come to
those who from out of their Joy and
their abundance-fall to lespond to the
needs of mankind. ';
What It Is and VVtiy.
Tbe last half of the lesson Is Intend
ed to Illustrate tbe teachings of tbe
(list. Let us look at the Illustration.
A certain rich man.' lie waa not
of sufficient Importance even to men
tion bis name. How few rich men ever
succeed In really perpetuating their
names. Not one succeeds In any meas
ure at all except as In some manner
he emulates the life and teachings of
Jesus. How- few monuments really
perpetuate names. Character alone Is
what lives. This rich man. however.
did not lose out simply because be was
a rich man. . Verse 25 tells us why be
waa In anguish. His life had been that
of a selfish seeker anj he bad had
hlu reward. Now conditions have
changed. Once clothed In purple and
faring sumptuously, now be la the
beggar. Ignoring tbe cry of need at
his gate now he Is compelled to make
his cry afar off.
A certain beggar twined Laxarus.1
It Is better io be a beggar vainly
seeking a few crumbs and to rest in
Abraham's bosom than to live In lux
urious ease, ignoring tbe cry of tbe
needy and to live In bell hereafter.
Lazarus did not gain glory hereafter
because he was a beggar, but rather
because of bis character. Angels an
nounced the coming of the Son of
Man, angels welcomed tbe returning
of this son of mankind. Which of tbe
twain. Dives or Lazarus, really enjoyed
life? Eternity is a long time. It begins
wnere imagination ends. Tbe name
Lazarus really means "God-helps" and
God always does help the poor.
uaxarus had some friends for we
-ead that the dogs showed their sym
pathy, it is always true that those
poor as poverty are most ready to re
spond to the cry ot need, and out of
their penury will give .the most abun
dantly to relieve distress.
Leaves All Behind.
Tbe rich man died also." Thus
ended his life of ease and luxury for
shrouds bave no pockets. "How much
did be leave? He left it all." All ot
hla loved ones, all of bis hopes were
left behind. There is something ap-
palllnglxsad In the death of a rich
man who trusts only to his wealth,
having no faith in God. Millions for
moment of time. The sarcasm of
Jesus' words Is quite apparent, "and
he was burled." Only a clod tt earth,
no longer useful, of tbe earth, earthy,
bury him, get him out of sight But.
did this end all? By no means,
for when he reached the other side
ho did not lose consciousness nor
reason. No soul sleeping there. He
saw, he observed, he felt he remem
bered, he reasoned. Back upon earth
be had brothers who were following
his same mode of life. Here be was
suffering, crying for. "mercy," for an
alleviating touch of cold water, yet In
that cry there was no note of repent
ance. He and his brethren had lived
for the tongue and had pampered It,
now it, tbe seat of taste, of bold words,
etc., is crying for cooling relief. But
would those behind repent even If one
Were to rise from the dead? No, ex
cept that they might escape a like tor
ment The desires of tbelr beans
would be tbe same. Being out of
state's prison Is of Itself no particular
honor. Tbe message of Jesus strikes
deeper than outward forms and cere
monies. It is the heart motive where
by we are to be Judged. Dives sought
to excuse or to Justify himself (v. SO),
but Abraham tells him plainly that
both he and bis brethren had had suf
ficient light It they will not listen to
Moses (the Pentateuch) and to the
prophets neither will they repent even
though one care from the dead.
The disciples were poor In both this
world's goods and one of them, Mat
thew, adds that the happy ones are
those who are poor In spirit also. They
knew the meaning of hunger and of
privation and were ready to learn of
him. Jesus is not so much in this Il
lustration, trying to give us a picture
of the hereafter, of the future life as
he is to show the results of our living
in this present life. - He shows as
plainly that there are different states
over there and that theae states are
tbe result of our conduct In the life
we now live. Riches are a temptation,
a temptation to gain by fraudulent
means and to spend foolishly. Many
young man Is cursed by great riches,
all honor to those who overcome that
handicap. The temptation for men Is
to trust to the arm that secures the
riches and not to the strong arm of
God. "Corporate wealth is the su
preme peril of America;" so spoke
Judge of the Supreme court of the
United States. Why Is this so? Be
cause It tends to selfishness; It tends
to the abandonment of faith In God;
to the breaking down of any attempt
to live the golden rule. The strength
of America is not represented by the
dollar mark but It 1 In that true al
truism that U to e found only In the
hearts of those who are poor In spirit
That great mass of our population
who are not rich In this world's goods
but who "j rich In faJJ) and love.

Another
Common
Gender
Pronoun
Offered
. By A. B. Schuyler,
EdlaM Paek, III. -
Before the subject of common gender
proLouns is dropped I would like to offer
my suggestion.
Already several good ones hare been
proposed, but in each ' instance the new
word might conflict, in sound if not in
spelling, with other words already in use.J
I would suggest "heor," "hisor," "him-,
-or," in which case the other gender would
be understood, as it would take the place
of "he or she," "his or her," fhimotf her."
. ' And further, to make it mpre plain, the
words might be hyphenated, such as "he
or," "his-or," "him-or," and in this way
they could not possibly conflict with any other word.
