CHAPTEK III. "O happiness! To utter thee, in vain oar eyes Seek tears, and vainly all speech tries; This thing alone our king denies In Love's Inrjress." Helen Hunt Jackson. During the fortnight which followed the battle of Lexington. Desire Leland kr.ew little of The Intense excitement and indignation which it had aroused in the colonies from New Hampshire !o (Jeorjrin. She was living in a paradise whose boundaries were the four walls of the room where Gilbert Merridnle lay recovering from his injuries. Ou the fourth day after the removal of the miuuteinan's well-aimed bullet from his side, Mistress Salome deemed him sufficiently convalescent to grant his oft-re
pented request that ho might sec Desire, if only for a moment. He was by this
time able to have two pillows under hi;
liend, and to he partially propped up
against them. "Make me as presentable ns you can, dear Mistress Leiand," he begged, smiling rather wistfully, as she combed out the short, golden curls which clustered about his forehead, "lest I frighten "nr sweet little lady! I should Ik- loth to .111pose the sight of myself upon her in such
uncomely guise, were I not famishing for
a glimpse ot her dear face. It would lie only my jurt deserts were she refuse to come." Mistress Salome smiled at this transparent hint. She had no mind, however, to end his uncertainty by look or word. That she would leave for Desire's own giving. So she made no answer except by the deft touch of brush ami hand upon the drooping mustache, which matched the sunny curls in hue ninl but partially concealed his finely shaped mouth and chin, and by a soft kiss which she dropped upon his cheek when all was done to make him ready for his guest. "Close your eyes dear lad," she said, "and think it is your own mother who bids you godspeed in yonr wooing. Were Desire my own daughter a hundred times over, I conld wish for her no better fate than to be loved and won by Agues Merridale's son." Before be could reply to these nnlookedfor words, which sent the' blood racing
joyously through his veins, she had slip
ped away. A moment after Desire stood beside his couch. She was dressed all in white dimity, with a bunch of pink roses
on the bosom of her gown. She had come
in with a noiseless step, and he gazed at her for nn instant, ns on some lovely vis
ion which might glide away ns swiftly as it had come. Then lie saw only her face, all maidenly and modest, but withholding from the soft, clear eyes which m.-t bw so frankly nothing of the love and sym
pathy which overflowed her heart. Without a spoken word, the sweet story was
told. As the bine eyes looked up into the
gray ones, ns his hand reached out and clasped hers, the compact was made for all eternity.
'Desiree, he murmured, giving her
qnnint Puritan name its more imisicaM
French sound,, llesiree: greatly desired
and truly beloved! God be witness of my loyal fealty to my own, sweet wife and
make me more worthy hour by hour all
my life loug of her pure love."
With indescribable gentleness and a
shy, pretty gesture of command, she laid her other hand on his forehead.
"I promised Aunt Sulonie that you
should not talk," she said, smiling down at him.
She felt his clasp tighten and herself
drawn toward him. Blushing, trembling.
but with womanly grace and charm, she gave him the kiss he mutely asked.
'Now, sit by me, Bweetlienrt, aud let me
look at you! Do you know that it is five
days since I saw you last?"
'Yes, I know it very well," she replied.
with enchanting demurencss. And then
she found it necessary to repeat her
charge that he be absolutely quiet. For an hour Mistress Salmie left them undisturbed to tell each other the wonderful
truth that already seemed to have exist
ed always.
From that time on the hours flew bv all
happily fnr the lovers. No least hint of
what might lie in the future cast even a fleeting shadow over the present. Mis
tress Lelnnti, indeed, gave many nn anx
ious thought to the coming days, hut she
concealed her solicitude from them.
"All may turn out well; if not, the mem
ory of these days will sweeten all their
after life.
So, in the midst of her untiring care for
the invalids and the thrifty ordering of
all the complex Douschold affairs, she found time to arrange everything for the greatest pleasure of the Iwo who were as
iear to her as though they were her own.
Her husband, the portly merchant, heart
ily favored the match-making, as he called it. He, too, was fond of his nieces, and knew that no braver, truer gentleman
could be found ns husband for any one of
them thr.n Gilbert Merridale. Rut he
wondered sometimes how his brother
would swallow a British aristocrat for a son-in-law.
"Our pretty Desire will have need of all
the spirit which lies behind those stead
fast eyes of hers fo bring her father to
her way of thinking," he said once to his
wife.
A troubled expression crossed Dame Sa
lome's fair counjeunnce.
I would mere might he no occasion for
'heir wills to clash. In case of British
withdrawal from Boston 1 have honed

with us, making a short visit to Lexing

irancis Leland regarded his statelv
spouse in open-mouthed astonishment.
Hy heaven! 1011 use words straiigelv.

'Whatever has caused you to fancy that
his mnjesty will withdraw from Boston?
You must be dreaming or jesting lo men
tion a matter sr. little likely to come to pass. It will he wise for you to set n
iruard on your glib tongue. Such seiill-
uieiits sound not well from the lips of a loyal subject."
Mistress shrugged her plump shoulders
impatiently.
"1 marvel greatly that you and others
understand so little the nature of these
lankees,' and the real spirit which animates them. Will you never learn that
blood of good old English strains runs iu their veins as well as iu yours? How long, think you, would you submit to what you
deemed injustice or oppression from even our good king himself? How long was old King John able to withstand the united, determined will of his stanch barons?
I tell you plainly, husband, the shots fired
yonder at Lexington Green, not yet two
weeks ngo, will raise the echoes through
out the colonies, and many a long day
will come and go before the last of these

cerns of your own estate. We cannot iei.d 'l.e .' . .rjr dsy tn comfortable
ease under the roof we built with so much
pride And that I kuow right well." A somewhat quizzical expression appeared 011 Francis Leland's kindly visage. He 1 early loved to tense his wife, and I lioni.lit the opportunity a good one. "I think 'twill be easy to believe that anything astounding may transpire since Mistress Salome Leland hath espoused lhe cause of tie rebels." A laughty straightening of her buxom figure and nn indignant flash of her keen eyes was his lirst answer; then she tietect el his true meaning, and a sigh followed. " "I'is no tine for merriment, Francis. Heir en forbid that yon delay too long to realite the truth of what I say. These rebels wil'. never submit. From every
quarter of lhe thirteen colonies I doubt
not they are already flocking to the succor
of these who have made the first stout resis:nnce. Il Gen. (inge heed not sharp

"How can the yeomen hem in thousands of o lr skilled soldiery, Salome? You usual sound .indgment must surely have
gone wool-gathering to-day.
"How could these same yeomen repulse our s killed so diery, driving them in litter rout and strewing the fields and roads for miles with the wounded and dying?
They sprang full armed from each free and nush, and 'twas the courageous, reso
lute hearts under the coats rather than the bullets in their old muskets that lost ns the day,"
"Nay, litis! and, I am iu no manner of
sympathy with their rebellious manners.
1 wmilil aid or countenance none of their
strange notions. But 1 have -two good eyes iu my head and a lair share of woman's wit, ant I doubt nothing of their persistent, p-oloiiged defense of what they mistakenly call (heir rights." Admiration, not unmixed with respect, had succeeded Francis Leland's nstoiiished uuittsement. Accustomed lo follow the counsel of his wife in business matters frequently, tr to regret not having done so, it was not difficult for him now to see inor truth in her views than had at first seemed possible. He was willing to talk with her in ail earnestness, though still far from adopting all her opinions. "It will be no small loss to ns, wife, to leave Boston now and return to England. Think of the large sums we have invested in our ships, which are nt this moment on Iheir way to this port heavily laden with merclm udise. Years will be needed in which to build up again so fine a legacy for our sons." "Those nre true words and I rue the day when farewell must he said to our dear borne. Think not because I sfieak so easily that my heart is joyous. It is wrenched to the roots by the thought of wind must surely come. For the sake of the noble lnds whom God has given us, Francis, I would have you save the fortune yon have labored to bestow on them. I'nlcss we elect to cast In our lot with these fanatic rebels, we must seek a home elsewhere, tor Englaud will never conquer them." "Wrll, well, wifo," eftid Uvv huuliand, a trifle impatient of her persistent return lo this declaration; "there's time enough yet time enough yet." and with that- he put nu end to the conversation. When he came home to his supper that night he was iu tine spirits, for he brought great news. "You limy set your fears nt rest, Salome," he began before he finished serving her with a liberal portion of broiled bluefish; "there's no danger of the provincials wasting any more of their precious powder. Ships came in port to-day bringing Gen. Howe, Ge.i. Burgnyne and Gen. Cliu:ou, with large numbers of troops." He leaned back in his high leather-covered chair to watch the effect of this announcement. To his caagrin, Mistress Salome showed none of the surprise he expected. "We shall not need to go quite so soon, Iierhnps," was her rather unexpected comment. "Go where, mother?'' luquired the youngest ton, Grautley, "Never mind, lad never mind," his father answered for her, in some haste. "You'll hear in good time. Did any news
of the rebels reach town to-day, Bradford?" "Y'es, sir. Did you uot hear that the fortress rt Ticondoroga, with a large amount o' ammunition and supplies, has boon surrendered to Ethan Allen, a mountaineer?" "Thunder and lightning!" cried his father, fairly jumping from his chair. "Was there ever such an infernal shame? What
was Deliiplace thinking of to give up a fortress costing eight million pounds sterling, and no one venture to say how many lives? How long did he hold out ?" "That is the disgraceful purt of it, father. Not n shot was fired on either si.le. Allen simply demanded its surrender in the name of the Continental Congress aud the great Jehovah, aud it was his!" "Amazing! Astounding! Incredible! My ears almost refuse to believe such a thing! Was ever such a method employed before? In the name of the great Jehuviih! Well! Well! Who can judge anything of a people like these?" He glanced across nt his wife with a queer mixture of expression, but she was sedately occupied iu picking the bones from her fish, and took 110 apparent interest in the conversation. Later, iu the privacy of her own apartment, they held a long, earnest talk on the situation, not only of their own immediate family, but of matters in general. Day lifter day passed. Outside the town, over the blue bilk to the westward, the Americans were gathering their forces 11 nd organizing them in hat fashion they were able. Inside, the British seildiers and many of the ..Ulcers were chafing under the protracted delays which, to their way of thinking, prevented a speedy solution ot lhe whole trouble. Business had come to a standstill. Commerce was paralyzed. Ship after ship came into port, but many did uot even unload. It was about this time that an English oftlcer wrote home: "1 wish the Americans may he brought to a sense of their duty. Oue goad drubbing which I long to give them by way of retalitition might have a good effect toward It." The "good drubbing" was attempted ou the seventeenth of June ut Hunker Hill, and all the world knows whether or uot il worked as he expected it would. Among the minor results of this famous
encounter was Mistress Leland's resolve t no longer delay her proposed visit to tier sitter-in-law iu Lexington. Francis Inland had by this time openly declared himself in favor of the British. He was therefore ohle, after some little effort, to obtain permission for his wife lo leave the town in order to convey Desire to her father's bouse. A permit to enter the American lines was also ueceasary, and this was procured without trouble by friends of both families. Desiie read the rather formidable document with much eurioslty. It seemed strange to her that tueli minute provisions should be needed fur so simple a thiug us a ride to Lexington. "One would Imagine ns (0 be arch con
spirators, Undo Francis, rather than simple womenfolk," she said, as she folded the blue paper and handed it buck to him. A slight flush rose to Mistress Salome's lace. The girl's remark was truer than she expected. An arch conspiracy for openly abducting Timothy Leland's
daughters had been forming in her fertile
brain for the last few days. It was no
part of hsr plan to sail 11 way to Eugliiud in one of her husband's slout merchant
ships and leave behind her the fair girls of whom she wus so foud to be mnrried to
some of the country clodhoppers around
their home. Valiant, English-blooded men
they were, to be sure, but no silituble unites for maidens of gentle ancestry and remarkable beauty of both person and character. So she reasoned. She had little doubt of getting their mother's con-
seut to this arrangement, for Esther ura.
bam had been her own girlhood's most intimate friend, aud she knew her thoroughly. They had come as brides togeth
er to the strange New World, and she was
well assured that she coveted an easier, more elegant life for her charming daugh
ters. She felt sure, also, that Delight and
Desire would willingly accompany her tq her own stately Devonshire home, to stay,
at least, until affairs were in a more set
tied condition in the colonies. It was hei
strong wish to take Sylvia with her sis
ters, but she was not so sanguine of per
suading that outspoken, original young
person.
Such had been her secret thoughts and
schemes. Small wonder, then, that het checks reddened when her husband made
laughing answer to Desire.
"This is a difficult matter, niece, and one
far beyond my skill to decipher the out
come of the meeting of two such dames
as your mother and your Aunt Salome.
But what Timothy Leland moy say when you ask him for permission to take his
daughters to England and marry them to

The Uncertainties of Buttle Are Try lug to Interested Outsiders.
Two stories of the late war illustrate
the sad uncertainties of battle. Early
in the campaign It happened that an
officer of the United States artillery,
Capt. Capron, came upon n little camp
of newspaper correspondents. He fell
into conversation with them, and one
or them asked and was told his name. "What!" said the correspondent,
thoughtlessly, "any relation to the
Capt. Cuprou who has just "
Then the thought of what he was about to say came upon him, aud hu
stopped.
The officer tinned pale. "What do
you uieau?" he said; "for God'b sake
I have a son who Is 11 captulu In the Bough Klders- you don't menu to tell mc that anything bus buppeued to
hlin?"
The younger Capt. Caprou had been
shot ami killed that day.
"1 heard that be was shot," was all the correspondent could say, and the officer went away, to letiru the whole
of the sad truth later. The elder Capt,
Capron, too, gave, up his life by fever
immediately upou his return to the I'nlled States in August. The other story is from the Montauk hospital, 11 nd is of an opposite charac
ter. Corporal Finn, of a Massachusetts
regiment, had been reported dead at
Santiago, but in reality he was alive at Moutuuk uud recovering with good care. One day the womau doctor who
had him iu charge was met Ui the ward
by a young iuiiu of sorrowful appearance, who asked her If she could give any accouut of his brother's death; the
nuiue, he said, Is Corporal Finn. "Why," said thu doctor, "Corporal Finu Isn't aend." The young uinu shook his head. "Yes,
inaduui, he Is dead. Thu news came by telegraph. We wish to know how he
died." "Well," said the doctor, "I saw him
driuklug a bottle of ginger ale a iittlo
while ago." "You have made a mistake," said the young man. Insistently. This news was too good to be true, and the woman doctor might easily be Iu error. "Come with me and judge for yourself," said the doctor. They had hardly passed into the tent when n voice rung out, "Hello, Jack!" aud there was the corporal sitting propped up ou his pillows. The brother fainted with joy, and made the surgeons a great deal of trouble, but came around nfter a while. In two days the brothers started home together. Youth's Companion.

Vegetable Compound will relieve them." Mrs. Ida Peterc, MUan.Tenn., writes : Dear Mrs. Pinkham When I wrote to you the first time asking your advice I was a great sufferer. Menstruations were irregular, sometimes a week too soon and then a weekortwo late, and when they appeared were very profuse , great pain and tenderness in the bowels, pain in back and limbs, leucorrhtca all the time. I was weak and nervous aud had no appetite. Burning and choking sensation in my throat. I received your reply and followed aU your instructions and now I am cured. I owe my recovery all to Mrs. Pinkham's advice and her wonderful remedies." Mrs. Maggie P. Stine, New Berlin, Pa., writes: I have suffered with terrible backache in the small of my back for about seven years, and could never get anything to help me.

Nearly all the time for seven years I was confined to my room.
1 consulted the best doctors in irfw-'CJA, my town, and tried almost every- '"msSJI v'v'al thing I could think of, but &L ifl"
received no lasting benefit. My whole body was diseased, and the pains I suffered no tongue can tell. I believe there is not a pain that any woman ever suffered but what I have had. I was troubled with backache, nervousness, a burning and constant distress in the stomach, painful menstruation, leucorrhtca, and at times very bad headaches. At last seeing your remedies
so highly recommended I dee ded to try them, and to write to you concerning my troubles. " After receiving yout letter of advice, 1 followed your directions and have now taken four bottles of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, one of Blood Purifier, one-half box of Liver Pills, and one and one-half packages of Sanative Wash, and can say that 1 feel like a new person. I think I should not have been on this earth now, had it not been for your medicine. I cannot thank yott enough I or your advice to me and your wonderful medicine." Mrs. Georgia McDaniels.ViewfieldA, South Dakota. Mrs. Pinkham's advice is promptly given without charge to all suffering' women who write to her at Lynn, Mass. for aid. She has helped thousands may she not help you? More Than a Million Women Have Been
