."Vim Bernard, I wish 30U to
understand distinctly that I hiu at
liberty to choose my o u company ,
nod I do not propose that j ou shall
dictate to me, either," aud KIleD
Gilbert gave br worsted hu cm
rbatlcjerk by way of emphasis.
"Bat, Ellen, this fellow is it
fctranger, and well I do not like
the look ol bia black eyes."
Yap spoke bis convictions, for il
Lis. feelings had not been hurt by
Lis CTideot interest in the maiden
lie loved, there was something so
forbidding about this elegant
ht ranger, who bad beeu spending
the aatomn among t he Ohio hills,
as to pat plain, honest Van on bin
guard.
"Henry Romans is a perfect ten
tleman, and understands how to
conduct himself iu the presence ol
ladies, which is more than could b
naidLof BOOie yoaiig men I knew,"
Lllen retorted, angrily.
Van colored at the thrust, but
managed to say, coolly :
You know, Ellen, how people
will . talk, for well, everybody
knows we are engaged'
"Engaged 1 Van Bernard, when
did I promwe to become your
wifet So far aa I cau recollect,
you have never yet asked me, and
it Is not probable that 1 should con
.sent to each a proposition without
some such intimation on your part."
While Ellen was speaking u
shadow crept over Van's honest
face, and leaving his chair be came
over and leaned heavily against
the mantel. Wbeu he could steady
his Voice, he said, slowly and sadly,
"Ellen, there Dever was a time
when I did not look upon you as
my future wife, though we have
neTer gone through the formality
of asking and answering that quen
tion, wo understood each other
perfectly. Is not the engagement
ring upon your fioger at thin very
moment t" Snatching the ring
from her hand she threw it towards
Lim, saying: "So perish ibe last
link that binds us together. Iam
glad to be free to feel that you
cannot bold me to a bargain ttiat
Tas sever made."
"Ellen, you know I do not wish
:.:y freedom, and yon are just as
m&dent that I would never try to
old yon to an engagement of
Lick you are tired. You are not

" ink over your hasty words you
ill decide differently."
'2feverf I despise yon, and hope
3a will never come into my pres
re again." Ellen flashed back.
Tan took his bat from the table,
i walked slowly ont of the door
y and down the path to the gate.
3 did not go home, but turning
a a . path that crossed the
adow, be wandered aimlessly
og until be reached a secluded
t, where he sat down to think

Ellen wa dateled 'by his
' "fpearanee, and enjoyed the
lances of her young eom-
but, although abei8hfed
$ not so old fashioned, she
ved him as well m ever
0ee or twice she was tempted to
call him back and tell him .that ahe
did not mean what she had said,
but calling her pride to her assis
tance, she determined to teach him
a wholesome lesaon.
, "Poor Van! It is too bad, for I
care more for him, rough and
awkward as he is, than lor this
handsome btranger, with all his
gold and knowledge of the ways of
tie world," ahe said to herself,
after trying in vain to find an ex
cose for her harsh words. "But I
will let him alone for a tew days,
for be must learn 'hat he cannot
dictate to a Gilbert."
Vau did uot come back the next
day aa thu bad anticipated, so for
bis special bent-fit she attended the
conceit in company with Henry
Romans. Van was there, but away
hack in a dark corner, where his
white face did uot haunt the un
faithful girl, and so heart sick did
be become at the careless remarks
of tno.--e around him, concerning
the turn things had taken, that be
fore the entertainment was half
over be slipped out, unobserved,
aud, stealing softly in at the cot
tage door, bought his own room ;
and there h-e spout the rest of the
nigbt iu contriving plans lor bir
mother's comfort, for be had fully
determined to offer his an vices to
the recrnitiug officer belore another
bua abould bet.
When, in the morning, he uu
loldt-d his plans to bia widowed
mother, silent tears rolled down
her withered clieekn, but not awoid
ol complaint did she utter. Other
uioihers were compelled to part w ith
their sous, and why hhonld she tie
spared the pxin ot separation 1 It
was soon airsnged that her sou
Ben should take charge of the farm
an 1 its woik, and, before the Mais
came out that night, Van hud taken

moihei's lips, aid had unncbed

bud uot spoken a woid concerning
Kllen's iiiilaltbtulness, but the
mother's intuition told bei some

When Ellen heard of Lei lover's
enlistment r-be wept bitterly, hut
her prida prompted her to conceal
her remorse by seeming care
less. After Van was gone she
Hilled de.s pel ately wilh young Ko
mans, aud lien's w ife did uot think
her duty accomplished until she
had repeat eid her opinion of the
girl's conduct to Van. So thorough
ly indignant was t he young matron
that she even contlded to him
Dame Rumor's report concerning
the wedding tbut was to take place
during the holidays. It might all
have been different had uot Van at
tnis juncture implored bis sister in
law not to mention Ellen Gilbert's
name at all iu the future. So he
went on believing that hlleu bis
Ellen belonged to another man.

the world, be

became reckless of
It was 011 Thanksgiving I )ay, '(i'J,
that Ellen drove him from ber!
preseuce, and when that festal day
came around again, he lay wounded '
and bleeding on Lookout Moun '
ta la's gory field. Early on that
memorable day, the color bearer
was shot down, aud it was Van
Bernard who aved tbe tattered
flag from capture, carrying it with
him right iii'O tbe thickest of tbe
tight. He was seen to fall amid
tbe storm of shot and shell that
darkened tbe air, and when the
smoke of battle cleared awav, his
comrades took up what tbey sup
posed to be his uiLtilated body,
and, wrapping il in the riddled flag
be bad borne, laid him tenderly in
the grave their own hands had hol
lowed.
But poor Van found a far less
restful bed than tbe one they bad
prepared for him, for wounded, ill
and in a Southern prison, the snn
beat down unmercifully upon him,
while bis friends in the North
thought bim safe with God. Hav
ing learned through a comrade
who had been brought into tbe hos
pital in a dy ing condition that bis
mother was dead, and tbat the
papers had been full of eulogies
concerning bis own heroic end, be
determined not to undeceive tbe
world, but, when the struggle was
over, to bury himself in Rome
secluded spot in tbe Sunny South,
and to let his old friends and neigh
bore go on. believing bim asleep on
tfie battlefield where be bad fallen.
He wus not exchanged until tbe
war closed, aud then among stran
gers, he began his new and solitary
life.
Though Ellen feigned indiffer
ence, she would bare sacrificed her
life to hare saved the noble one of
her lost friend. Eren while en
gaged in playiug the part of a co
quettd her heart was aching for one
word from the honest, sinsible man
she had sent from her so cruelly.
Week after week and month after
month she looked in rain for the
letter tbst she hoped be would be
bo forgiving as to write.
At times she was tempted to lay
aside her reserve and send him a
penitent letter, that she was cer
tain would bring a reply but Ben's
wife would say that Bne was conn
ing his favors because ibe city
fellow had' east her' aside. So - it
was that no explanation 'were ever
made, and trheo the nevs of Tun's
noble death eame, Ellen was almost
prostrated with grief. She went
around the house; pale and wan,
and at times her friend feared that
eiason itself would be dethroned.
Bat trouble Is not apt to kill, and
poor Ellen was destined to carry
her heavy sorrow many long, weary
days. Her brothers aud sisters
married, and in due course ol time
her parents went to join the sleep
ers ia the silent city of tbe dead,
sod Ellen was left alone in the
bouse that had once been bo fall of
soug and laughter.
Three days before the anniversary
of the battle of Lookout Mountain,
twenty years alter he bad been car
ried into eaptirtty, an uncontroll
able longibg to look upon borne
and familiar faces seised Van Ber
nard. Before, be had stifled all
such desires, but somehow he could
not quiet the heart yearnings ibis
time, so his valise was hurriedly
packed, and bis landlady was in
formed tbat be would be absent a
fortnight. An hour later be was
fly lug northward aud homeward.
Day was dawning when he
stepped upon tbe station of bis
native town. Isot wishing to
arouse Beu's family so eail, be
determined to take a stroll through
the graveyard aud down past the
old Gilbert homestead. There
were mauy familiar names cut in
the mouuinentrj in the cemetery,
but be only paused long enough to
read the iuscript ion ou his mother's
tombstone and drop a tear upon
ber grave.
The sun was just beginning to
tint tbe treetops when be halted at
the gale leading to the porch, where
he and Ellen had spent so many
happy hours. But little change
had taken pl-tce 111 the appearance
of (he old home aud its burrouud
ings since the day he went away,
jusilweuty years before. Opening
the gate be walked up (tie path,
aud was about to occupy a rustic
seat, which his owu bauds had
fashioned, when a woman who bad
been gathering Chlua asters and
autumn leaves came suddenly from
behind t lie old elm tree, and once
again Van Bernard and Ellru
Gilbert stood face to lace. Eleii
waa the Brat to recover her voice,
and there was a perceptible tremor
in her t'EC as she tattered :
'Van Bernard! Has tbe grate
really given up it dead, or is il a
Kpirit I address f
'It is Van hernard, flesh and
blood as of old, w ho stands before
you, Ellen hut I do not know by
what name 1 should address you
uow," Van replied, in a voice that
convinced bia hearer that it was no
suemaiural being who bad made
her snch an unseasonable call, but
that the real Van Bernard, whose,
face had baunfed her for more than
a score ol years, now stood in ber
presence.
' (.'all me Ellen. Ellen Gilbert, as

quietly.
'Hut 1 1 bought you were married
Henry Romans''
Is not, and never waa anything
to me.'' she answ.red. "But you
look faint. Come in and get a
mootblul of breakfast."
"3ot now, Ellen. Sit down and
let us understand each other."
Aud there, amidst tbeold familiar
socucR, the bleach of three times
seven years was healed. All the
long, doleful past was forgotten in
the new hoprs that had come so
suddenly lo them. ,An hour later,
when old Mrs. Goodman came in to
help with theTbanksgiviog dinner,
she found them still on tbe porch,
forgerful of their breakfast and
everything else except tbat they
bad lound each ether, and nothing
but death wonld ever separate them
again.
That was a real Thanksgiving to
them botb, and tbe quiet marriage
tbat was celebrated in tbe old
fashioned parlor that night was as
full of lore as if there had been no
gray hairs in tbe locks ot tbe bride
and groom.
