Cam-

Slion, Fred Belton, and myself,«J«J» ..mill held together, aiid neitheroneofus in all the dangers to which ^ehadbeen ex nosed had even received a wound.

Our acquaintance antedated the war. We had been classmates in Harvard University. I remember we used to nickname^Camlion "Captain" ong brfoje the war of the rebellion was thought of. if was tall, strong and ^rene. with a

Hgnity about hun,.half boyish and half nanl loved mfued tbe heaviest oar in theUmvcr .rew*. No exertion tired him, and no provocation put him out of temper though I do not forget his encounter with Fred liclton. It was, indeed, the Iteirinning of their friendship. *red was a Virginian by birth, though he •iftertfard fought on the northern side he was full o? fun and humorous mis hief/but subject to ungovernable outbursts of passion. One day he undertook to play off a practical joke on Mrs. CJ»PDer.iour laundress, who was more than Huapectcxl of using chemicals in her wasliinc to tiie detriment of the fabrics committed to her charge. Fred, who was (something of a chemist, hit upon the inircnious device of saturating one of his shirts with a mixture which, when brought into contact with

mgredieut

Mrs. Clapper was accused of, produced an explosion which utterly upset her and her washtub, and, ljesides rendering the poor old lady almost Miotic with fright, injured her rather severely on tbe fml and hands. Fred related the incident with great gleo at the supper table that evening. We all thought it funny and laughed, all except Camlion.

You ought to beg the woman's pardon Belton," he said. Theresas an immediate silence when his low but powerful voice struck in, and everylxxly turned toward him as he sat with both hands resting on the edgo of the table and his face, which was the type of the young Grecian Hercules, slowly reddening. Fred laughed, fancying at first that Camlion was charting. But in a moment the latter added "It was a blackguardly thing to do."

Thereupon Fred jumped np, white

^"Will you take that back?" he called

""'I say it was a shameful and cowardly trick,was Camlion's answer. Helton snatched up a heavy breail knife that lay on tho table and hurled it with all his toreo at Camlion's face. It was a murderous act. Wo all rose confusedly to our foet, anticipating a violent semiel'

Camlion could have shaken

Helton's heart out of him with one hand, lie alone remained suited, however, pressing his handkerchief to the deep gash, while ho kept his glance hxed on nis assailant. ••of course that makes no difference Helton." he said, after a pause.

Helton, who was by no means a bad fellow, had no sooner done tho deed than lie was sorry for it, and said as much on tlio snot. ••I don't caro a rtg about swered Camlion quiotlyr'but, he added with tho grim tenacity which was a feu.i.. nillTnt tO

turo of 'his character, "you ought to make it up to Mrs. Clapper." The upshot was that Holton vleldccl ,m«l presented Mrs. Clapper with*i-jaitd a handsome apology. Hut the incident rousel a good deal of discussion, and opinion was for a whilo somewhat divided as to Camlion's behavior. Some declared that ho ought to have sent the Southerner a challengo but most of us felt that a duel would have been a gratuitous nlwurditv for a man likotam^|»llon and it was a sign of the general E conhdence felt in him that no one venfl tured to Intimate that the fact of Bolton if U'ing a notoriously dead shot had anyI thing to do with the-*paciHc termination

of tfie art'air. Camlion himself never alluded to it in any way, but, as I have said, the two men afterward Ixniimo firm

lteloiigcd to tho fast set, gradually menden 1 hislPvavs under Camlion inlluence, and joined the athletic, party. not her follower of Camlion's—and he had manv. though his intimates were ,W_w.UH Frank Capel, also ftontherncr, and a well mannered, pleasant I follow enough.

In short, she was the ideal of all that woman can or might 1*?, ami we looked forward with interest to her promised appearance on our class day. "We'll introduce Camlion to her, and he shall make her an offer of marriago said Belton. with a chuckle.

The joke of this suggestion las in the fact that the else heroic Cam Lion waa :4afraid" of voung ladies that is, he could seldom got to open his mouth in the presence of any woman who was not over thirtv and married and if brought to bav.' he would stammer and Mush like a sohooUxoy, and stand twjst-

But ital enough to think that some of the eamxixing which she had doubtless admin&tered to her slaves at home might lave been wholesomely returned to her irn defiant head. Fred Belton, op the Kher hand, considered her "diyiae," and 'squired her about most ineratjy she accepting his homage in rhing pait, and laugi "ibly. ral

MeanUS it may be remarked that she and abn did not make their appearance at |vard Hall, where Fred waited for thqintil his patience was exhausted. On? contrary, they kept together by theflves all the rest of the day and and it was not until tho illumi&ns were over, arrd most of the me|nakers had dispersed, that Belton caiocross them, wandering arm-in-

Hkler the trees at the outskirts of tho lege grounds. They met his ratfcliscomfited greeting very composj. 'fought you two must have decaio for good!" he exclaimed, with a repiiful look at the lady. "You knjjMiss Capel, you were engaged to daiite first waltz with me at the Hall, ancbrward to come to my spread an|" nd better emplovment," interruptMiss Capel, with a glance of supeisolence. liite hands, which Belton noticed whdmgloved, were clasped over Cari's mighty am, aud now she loolip at him, in the bright moonlighfth what seemed to Belton an expfcn of secret intelligence.

that" terrible series of battles in the Wilderness which ushered in the close of the rebellion. Meanwhile, there was an ominous quiet in our neighborhood the only exception beinga rather annoying one in tne shape of a sharpshooter on the Confederate side of the river (which was there about three hundred yards wide), who unerringly picked off any one of our men who ventured to show so much as his elbow on the Federal bank. As he had established himself opposite the only spot in a couple of miles where it was practicable to water our cattle, his presence was particularly inconvenient and we expended an apparently disproportionate deal of trouble ourfefforts t« dislodge him, but nothing had any effect. As ill luck would have it, there were no guns available at this point and it was in vain that we peppered the place whence the deadly shot proceeded with our rifles. Eveiy day several valuable men were lost, until at last the question, what was to be done, became a serious and pressing one. The unknown marksman never was known to miss and all that any of us ever saw of him was the puff of smoke from the muzzle of his weapon.

One afternoon Fred Belton came to my tent (I was surgeon to our company) in a state of manifest discomposure that at first I thought either the Colonel had been killed or the mysterious sharpshooter captured. It turned out to be quite another matter, however. "WThat do you think?" he began, in an excited undertone. "Whose house do you suppose is a mile off there, on our left?" And without giving me time to hazard a guess, he went on: "TheCapels as sure as you are there. And whom do you suppose I saw? Miss Rosalind herself, as I'm a living sinner! She rode up on horseback just as I was palavering at the front door for provender. By Jove she's more divinely handsome than ever! And oh, my wig! didn't she give me rating though! Whew!"

What did she scold you about?" demanded I, amused. For being a Virginian, and fighting on the Northern side. I tell you, she made me feel like a born sneak and blaokguard. A little more, and I believe I should have ratted again, and joined the Johnny Rebs. 'If I were a man,' said she, 'I would make it my business to catch such creatures as you, and hang you!' It's ray opinion, if a hun rea women like her were to enlist on the Rebs' side we should be thrashed out of our boots in a month. But luckily there is not another woman like her on the planet." "You'd better look out, or she'll make conquest of you in more ways than one," said I, laughing. "By the way, this news would interest Camlion. Does heknow?" "No and I don't mean to tell him," returned Belton, sharply and after sit ting a few minutes longer he got up and left me, apparently in no very good humor.

That same evening, however, he appeared again, this time in a preoccupied mood, and with his pipe in his mouth. The conversation turned upon the everactive sharp-shooter, and after a few remarks had passed, Belton suddenly exclaimed: "I've made up my mind to kill that fellow, and I've thought of away how it may be done. I guess I'm as good a shot as be is, and if I can get sight of so much as a square inch of him, he's settled!" He then went on to unfold to me his schcme, which appeared feasible, though there were certain obstacles in the wav. After we had discussed it for a while, he said: "Do you know why I want to shoot him?" "From patriotic motives, I trust," was my reply. "That's very well so far as it goes but there's something else. I believe I. know who he is—or what he is, at all events. I believe he's the man whom Rosalind Capel means to marry. From something she said to-day I'm certain she knows him, and that there's something more than ordinary between them. And I don't Intend slie shall marry him If lean help it."

I did not much like this attitude of Belton's, and I told him so but he took my strictures in such ill part that for thfe present I judged it best to say no more. Plainly he was. in love with Miss Capel. I devoutly wished that she was out of tho way, but before breakfast time next morning I was destined to hear of her again. It was about the hour of sunrise wnen Camlion, who had been out on 'VS flu. eyes kindled with repressed excitement "I have seen Miss Capel," he said, go ing to the point at once, as was his custom. "There was an alarm at my out-

picket duty during the night, entered my tent, his face flushed, and his blue

post two hours ago, and one of my men fired, WTe heard something fall, went out, and found a rider entangled with his lioree, which was shot dead. I knew her in a moment, though sho was in man's clothes—a blouse and high boots. She had lost her way, and had stumbled on us in the darkness. Their house is near us, she says. It was a very narrow escape if she'had been killed—I could not have borne it! I wish this war was over." "Was she armed?" I inquired, feeling a great deal more uneasy than I cared to confess.

No. Why should shej poor girl? She had been to see some fnends of theirs somewhere up the country. I gave her a man to see her safe home."

He had spoken the latter sentences in a low voice now he looked suddenly up and said, with deepest emphasis: "I would give mv hfeto knowthatshe loves me as I love her! She did love me once! There's no other woman in the world for me." "You must bear in mind, Camlion, that she's a red-hot rebel," I ventured to remark.

On the contrary, she's more than half inclined to our side," returned Camlion eagerly. "She told me almost as much. In her own heart she loves the Union best."

This unlikely assertion increased my misgivings tenfold but before I could make up my mind what to sav I was summoned to attend another victim of our mvsterious enemy on the opposite bank/The man was mortally wounded but before he died he was able to state that he had seen his executioner—a young fellow, with a straw hat and a (lark blue jacket or shirt, who parted the bushes and looked across at him, tho smoking: rifle in his hand. "If anyone with a good aim had been with me/' added the poor chap, "we'd had him potted then, sure!"

Thev were his last words. But it was not tbe first time the sharpshooter bad been said to have shown himself under similar circumstances and it made me think of Belton's scheme of the night before.

At 5 o'clock that afternoon the officers and non-commissioned officers of our oompany were summoned to meet the

we were en ver, just before

wag as follows: A volunteer

was to be found to show himself on the bank and take the enemy's fire. Belton meanwhile waa to conceal himself close at hand, and as soon as the "young fel-

low jn the straw hat" peered out of his ambush to see the effect of his shot, Belton was to put a Minnie ball through his head. There were only three thiggs that might interfere with the successful prosecution of this plan the lack of a volunteer prepared to meet almost certain death the possible omission on the enemy's part to reveal himself and finally the chance that Belton might, after all, miss his aim. Nevertheless the Colonel gave his eonsent that the thing should be tried, in default of any better suggestion and the following morning was appointed for the experiment.

At six o'clock I saw ^Camlion leave his tent and set off in the direction of our left. I had already noticed Belton heading the same way about a quarter of an hour previous and putting this and that together, I awaited the issue in "some suspense. But before seven o'clock Camlion returned, passed me with a strange look on his face and, without returning my greeting, and immediately entered his tent, where, as was afterward inferred, he must have spent a great part of the night in writing, and arranging some papers. What had happened, (as nearly as I can judge from subsequent developments) was this: He had started with the intention of calling on Rosalind Capel at her house. The way lay through a wood but just before emerging from it into the open ground in front of the house, he saw a man and woman standing beneath the shade of some trees about fifty yards away. The man was Belton, the woman Rosalind. Belton was apparently speaking eagerly and excitedly, Rosalind occasionally replying briefly, and moving her head as if in assent. After a minute or two, Belton ceased she extended her hand to him, which he grasped in both his, and raised to his lips. The next moment he had drawn her to his breast and kissed her face passionately and repeatedly, she not resisting. When Camlion saw this, a hoarse cry broke from him, and he strode forward a step, with fire in his heart. Then he stopped a cold aud torpid fever came over' him he turned about, slowly and sluggishly at first, then more rapidly, made his way back to the camp.,

A little oefore noon next day, Camlion, Belton, and myself, and another man, Haydon bynflne—a reckless, daredevil fellow, who had voluutered for the post of danger on the occasion—moved silently ana cautiously down toward the fatal spot on the river's bank. The adventnre was kept a strict secret, for since the night previous there had been whispers of treachery in the camp, and wo knew not where to look for the traitor among us. It was, of course, indispensable to the success of our plan that the sharpshooter should have no suspicion

behind cover, we crawled along, length lay hidden in the bushes a few yards from the place. Then Camlion. with Haydon in nis charge, slipped a little way down toward the left, until they were concealed from our sight by tho intervening shrubbery. Belton got his rifle in readiness, and I made my reparations to do all that could be done or Havdon, as soon as the enemy's bullet struck him. When I last caught sight of. the corners of his mouth, and a yellow pallor in his cheeks, which showed that he was not insensible to the ravity of the situation. But Camlion ad taken care to bring a flask of brandy along with him, ancl a quiet, steady cheerfulness of demeanor that was, perhaps, abettor cordial still.

Left to ourselves, Belton and I had nothing to do but to wait and we did wait for what seemed to us many intolerable minutes. The river lapped silently and smoothly over the surface a jbreath of wind rustled the leaves over our heads. I began to fear lest tho suspense should make Belton's hand unsteady. Just then a half-smothered exclamation reached our ears from the direction of our unseen companions, and almost simultaneously with it the sound of a heavy step passing from the bushes to the open margin of the stream. The time was come. Belton crouched with his rifle at his shoulder our eyes were fastened on the opposite bank. Suddenly a white puff of smoke leaped forth—a sharp, flat report,1! like the cracking of a whip then tne low, unmistakable thud of a bullet striking its quarry. The stricken man staggered and fell, still out of our sight, could we have had eyes for him then. But all depended upon our absolute immobility during tne next few moments. The white smoke drifted down to windward. Before it had passed away I saw the figure for which we were lying in wait emerge quietly from its covert on the other side and stand revealed. At the same instant the bang of Belton's rifle rent the stillness yet had time to remark something inexplicably familiar in that alert, graceful form—something not compatible with its blue belted blouse and high boots. And what happened next? To me it all seemed like an ugly tumultuous dream. I remember leaping down through the bushes to the water's edge. I remember seeing Haydon, alive and unhurt, supjorting Camlion's dying head on his cnee, while he tore open the front of his uniform, and disclosed tho shirt stained with blood. I remember Belton, with hastly face and sobbing breath, tearing xwethe painter of a small skiff that was moored close at hand, and putting off with frantic haste across the stream. And I knew—but how I cannot tell— that he was going to fetch the body of the woman he loved, and whom he had slain. For the famous sharpshooter of the Rapidan was Rosalind Capel.

She waa still living when be brought her in but she had been hit mortally in the right side, and was fast bleeding to death. But she smiled as we lifted her out, and her voice, though very faint, was distinct and composed.

HLav me by Captain Camlion," she said "I shall like to die beSide him. Had you no more worthless men in your army, but you must lime me with a man likehim?"

I was the one you were to have had," said Havdon "but at the moment the Captain*flung me down and went forward himself. It was too late to help it then. God knows I'm sorry!" and he burst into tears.

Rosalind smiled strangely, and moved her hand until it touched Camlion's. Captain Camlion acted like the hero he alwava was." she said, now almost inaudibly. "Iloved him—never anyone else—never you, you double traitor!" she added, turning her darkening eyes on Belton, who knelt in voiceless despair before her. "Last night you sold your adopted country for a kfsa." Her eyes half closed for a moment, and she breathed stertoriously. She opened them once more, turned her face toward Camlion, and made an effort to lift his hand to her lips. I helped her to accomplish her purpose. "Thanks!" she whispered. "I an not fit to kiss his mouth but—if be were alive—I would ask his leave—and his pardon!"

She did not speak after this, and in a few minutes die died very quietly. Among Camlion's papers was found a letter to Belton, explaining his object in sacrificing himself- "\ou are my friead," it ran "I will not stand between you and her, now that I know you love each other bat I shall never find a better time or cause to die in than this.'?

Poor Belton! He was acquitted by the court-martial appointed to try him on the charge of giving information to the enemy but I fear thero was that in his memory which made the remainder of his life more bitter to him than any death.
