Frances Ten Eyck. 1 Kortlandt drew his horse to a halt as he breasted the brow of the hill, and lifted the cap from his head that he migbt enjoy to the

full

the soft, delici

ous breeze. Perhaps

ODly

one who, like

himself, bad newly come from tbe crowded amphitheater of tbe lecture room of a medical college, and from daily witness of mental and physical sufferings by tbe bedsides of its hospital wards, could have felt, as he did, intensified oy powerful contrast, the stillness, beauty aud peace of wbat be looked on.

It was the Held of one of tbe great battles of the late war, ground made holy by heroic blood—heroic, whether the hearts that throbbed it forth were burst ing with triumph or breaking witb de-

So thought the young physician, as his eyes wandered over the scene, discovering few marks to indicate that once this valley had seethed witb lire and smoke and struggling human forms, and the whole air had been a shriek of agony and strife. Twenty years had done their work, and nature, which permits no desolation had sown tbe furrowed land with grass and blooming flowers, which swayed and swung in the spring air as if in unison witb tbe humming of the bees above them. But, as ho dismounted and led his horse down tbe bill, be discovered traces of the battle which had escaped bis eye from above. Now and then his horse's hoof strack tbe rusty metal of a dismantled gun, buried beneath the brambles, and further on he found himself in a wildnesness of little mounds, marked here and there witb a wooden sltfb, Its Inscription effaced by the ruins of years.

As Kortlandt rose from a vain attempt to decipher one of these, a tigure appeared from the woods near by, and, after tbe momentary pause of tbe first surprise of seeing him, continued steadily to advauee along tbe path which lea within a few yards of his side. The figure was that of a woman, poorly clad, but tall and graceful, and uiovea witb peculiar strength and freedom of motion. Kortlandt waited until she was near hi in and then said: "I beg your pardon, but can you inform me whose graves aro these?"

The woman stopped abruptly as the tones of the clear Northern voice reached her, and suddenly turned upon him her face, us til then eoucealed beneath the broad brim of the coarse straw bat that she wore. It was that of a girl, brunette, illuminated witb a pair of slowing eyes, which now fixed themvelves upon him. "You must have come from very far away, not to kuew whose ai*o the graves that you are standing on," she said, in voice which did not awe its peculiar intonation to tfie Southern dialect in which she spoke. ••You are right." he replied, surprised st her beauty and manner "my home le as far away as the snows of wluter from these Southern flowers."

A look of intense bitterness entered the girl's face. "You are from the North?" she said. Her eyes flashed. "I will tell you whose are the graves upon which you are treading. They are those of the 'rebels' you defeated," proudly "they are thoeeof the martyrs, the heroes, wSo starved and frose, who gave up home, family, wealth aad life in attempted protection of their rights and freedom, and whom you of the North, in your overpowering strength of wealth and numbers, conquered and klllod. Yonder, upon the hill, are those of my father and mother—he killed by

Jeath.bullets,all

our snd she by the agony of And theee are mine, mine, since I own tbe sacred earth in which they rest. Oh I that I possessed the $ power to protect their resting place from /the Insult of a Yankee's presence!"

Kortlandt looked into tbe girl's flushed and flashing face in a very maxe of astonishment. But her concluding words aroused his anger, and he drew himself up with the color mounting his brow. Controlling himself with an effort, he lifted his cap, and, bowing, said. with cold courtesy, in singular contrast to her fire "That being the case. Mademoiselle, I shall not linger to bid you Jadieu. But permit me to reassure you

K-jiJon possess the power to protect your heroes' resting place —In a two-edged sworti," and, with another bow and a straight look into her angry eyes, he i%^drew his horse's bridle over his arm and -led him back to the road. As he mount* ^ed and rode on he found to his snrprise that his hand was shaking witb excitomenu He was very angry. He had jptaever been insulted by a woman, and the feeling of helplessness with which it ^affected him was Irritating in the ex--treme. He felt this to be a weakness, and endeavored to throw it off. But that evening at supper he could sot resist giving a crisp little description of !his late encounter on the old battlefield to his neighbor at table, ending with an inquiry ir sodb violence of feeling and expression were usual. "Hardly, now," was the reply, "except among the most ignorant and areiudtced. But this girl's a peculiar case. Her name is Ellen Bverestt, Before the war her father was the richest planter in the

State. He pat every dollar he eould

command into the cause, and finally was kilted on the field over there fight-

ing for it. They carried him to his house which stood on the hill above, where bis wife, who had remained there despite everything that could be deplored or commanded, received his body and tended it. While she was doiog so the house was fired by a shell and burned to the ground. 8ne had her husband's body carried to tbe quarters, and there that night her baby was born and she died. Before she died she gave tbe child to the old house steward, having solemnly made him solemnly swear never to desert it." "Did he do so?" "No, he stuck to it through everything, and when the other niggers left the plantation he and his old mammy staid and took care of it down in the quarters." "Did none of the relatives claim the child "There were none who could. Unlike most Southerners, Bverestt had no oon sections, and his wife few. Those were so impoverished that tbey were glad to escape the burden of supporting it." "How did the negro do so?" "Ob! by cultivating as much of the most fertile land on the place as he and his old mammy could manage. But here comes tbe most interesting part of tbe dtory to you, as a physician. Three years ago tbe old man, who is over seventy, became so crippled by rheumatism that he coqld not work, and what does Nell Everest do but turn to aud work the place herself." "Do you mean with her own hands. "Yes, by Jove! and handsome ones they are, too, though they are bard and brown as nut*." "Wby didu't she teach "She has no education.11 "Or sew?" "She might have done that, but she is proud as Lucifer, and said that she was willing to work for herself and mammy, and Uncle Jake, whom she adores, but would not consent to be servaat to any one."

This account of the girt's history affected Kortlandt powerfully. He no longer wondered at the intensity of the hatred witb which she regarded all those of Northern blood. How could It be otherwise, when every day of her life afresh this storv in those blllsidegraves, those un plan tea fields, and the charred ruins among tbe cedar trees? The an er which had moved him passed away wonderful admiration when he pictured to himself that strong and beauti ful figure, which had confronted him so defiantly, taken upon itself and performing, in its pride of independence the labors of a field-hand on the land where her forefathers had commanded In absolute supremacy the labor of bun dreds.

The weeks passed by and Kortlandt found his health, which had been somewhat impaired by his professional labors and which he baa come to the South to rate, entirely restored. Yet he was in no baste to return to tbe work which he bad been so leatb to leave. In deed, the beat of the summer was upon bim in its utmoBt intensity, and yet be could not break the spell which held him in the South. What was this spell? Was it the occasional glimpses be caught as he roae by of a girl's figure at work in a strip of cotton or corn down in-tbe rich bottom land Or the glances he had two or three times received from a air of defiant eyes under tbe brim of a road straw bat as he encountered their owner in tbe road?

At any rate be said to himself one night us he entered his room: "You are a fool this has got to end you start North to-morrow."

He had passed the old Everstt planta tion returning from bis evening ride 9

tbe night was brilliantly moonlit he had left his horse in the shadow of some trees and walked up the long, cedarshaded drive which formerly lea to the house. A shorter, shaded path led to the quarters, and this he had followed till be catae where be could see the door of one of the cabins, and before it in the light of tbe moon a young girl seated at tbe feet of a white-haired old negro against whose knee she leaned her heac while they sang together—she in afresh sweet contralto, he in tbe quavering tones of age—an old plantation ditty, simple ana plaintive.

He had stolen away unnoticed, and had ridden slowly home, with a feeling in bis heart that was something like despair. It was the consciousness of this feeling which had elicited his sudden exclamation and resolve.

It was near daybreak when a knock at his door aroused bim, and a frighteued prayer took him to the bedside of one of the servants of tbe house. It was yellow fever.

That settled the question of his departure for home. He remaiued where he was, and in the terrible days that followed no help that be could give was withheld. So faithful and efficient was he that the "Yankee Doctor" was a name on the lips of everyone, and never uttered without a word of commendation and gratitude.

Alone—for tbe old physician who had long held the practice of tbe little place in monopoly had early succumbed to the fever—he fought the disease, battling with a courage that inspired others anc kept them from despairing through all

One rainy night, after the epidemic had passed its crisis, Kortlandt, returning from a visit at a distance, and dismounting from his weary horse at bis door, found a woman's figure standing bis side which he knew even in that

light. The voice which addressed bim was so stifled as to be almost inaudible. "Forgive me," it said I was insane—I did not know: you are noble and good. They have the fever—Uncle Jake and Mammy. Oh! for God's sake come."

Kortlandt's heart throbbed se violently that it was a mement before he dared trust his voice to speak. Then he said, quietly, "I will go at onceand, remounting, he roae away with as muoh sped as he eould get from his jaded beast.

But she was at the cabin almost as soon as he, eagerly and efficiently helpful despite tbe agony of sorrow and helplessness which possessed her as she saw how little science and love could prevail against the relentless death that was fighting for possession of the poor, old blaek bodies she loved se well. For it was in vain that he expended all his knowledge and she ail her tender eare the second morning, with a last, fkltbful loving lpok from his dim eyes, and a last ntle murmur of "Good-bye, little Missey: don't cry for me," Uncle Jake had hulen asleep, and a few hours later, old mammy, too, has passed away.

That evening Ellen Everstt stood before four graves, two of them freshly made, for she had lain the bodies of the old blacks here, "beside ber other parents," as she said. In the utter stillness which falls with the setting of the snn she could hear, far down the road, the departing footsteps and voices of the men who bad borne her only friends to their resting-place at her feet. She listened to them until they had faded away and then stood listening still for one more sound. No: they were gone, and she was alone, alone, alone forever.

So she cried wildly as she threw herself down among the graven, casting to tbe winds the self-control that hsd never watered until now.

But she was not alone, for hands stronger than ber own took them and held them in a close grasp, and, in a frightened glance, she saw the strong sympathy in the manly face which she had learned to trust and turn to in the last two days. As naturally and thankfully as a child she accepted it, and la aying her face upon his arm wept out the first bitterness of her grief. It was not long before she had wept herself quiet, but she did not raise her head for some time, and when she did so preceived that night had almost fallen.

Gently disengaging her hands from his she rose to her feet, then again extended them to him as he stood by her side. "Good night," she said. "You cannot know howl thank and bless you. Good night." "Oh! child," he cried, retaining her as she would have turned away, "I cannot leave you here. I cannot let you go back to that lonely cabin alone." "I must," she said sadly "I have nowhere else that I can go." "Nell," he said eagerly, "if you will have it so you need never return there— you and I need never part, if you will be my wife, Nell."

She uttered a low cry, and drawing her hands away buried ber face in them, and turned from bim. "Ob!" she cried bitterly, "you say that because you pity me. You would never have saia it else." "I say it because I love you. I would never said it else."

But you are so wise, and good, and great.' "And yon are so bravo, and beaotiful, and true. You*asked me the other night to forgive you. Hew can I, if you trample on my heart and make of it such a wreck of weeds and desolation as tbe Northern soldiers never made of that field below there How can I if you refuse tbe prayer that a man's heart never but once makes to a woman—a prayer for tbe complement to bis being which her love alone can give Nell, there is but one chance of happiness in this world for me, and it is that which 1 am asking of you."

He saw ber fate in the elear light of tbe rising moon as she turned it toward him, and it gave him all tbe answer that any man's heart should have required But he waited for ber words. "There is nothing of which my life has been deprived," she said, slowly, "of which it is possible to read in'tbose wasted fields or in these graves before us that your words have not repaid me hundred-fold. And I—I give you all have to give you I love you."

A good way to cook potatoes for breakfast is to cut medium-sized ones in tbe quarters, drop them into hot laid and fry until brown, the same as dough nuts.

To Clean Carpets."—Dampen some In dian meal, mix salt with it, and sprinkle over the carpet sweep vigorously. Take a small, sharp-pointed stick to remove the salt and meal from cracks and cor erf.

Unless you have hired help whom you can trust implicitly it is a good idea to use earthen aishes for milk in place of tin they are kept clean witb much less trouble. Tbe scientists of the present day and hour claim that the germs of disease bide in tbe crevices of a milk pan and that nothing hut conscientious application or absolutely boiling water will remove the danger.

Bread Cake is mAde of two cupfuls of light bread-dougb, one and a half cup ful8 of sugar, one half a cupful of but ter, three tablespoonfuls of sour milk, half a teaspoonf jl of soda, half a grated nutmeg, a tea«poonful of cinnamon, a cupful of raUlns chopped and flour dusted over tbem. Stir all In but tbe raisins and, put tbem in tbe last thing. It should raise for half an hour and then be baked in a moderate oven.

druggists begin to complain

that the only cough remedy they can now sell is Dr. Wistar's Balsam of Wild Cherry. This goes to prove that intelligent people are determined to get tbe best cure for coughs, colds, ana consumption, and will not take a substitute. 2
