A Yankee io Gray.

Continued on Seventh Page.

The surgeon Btiook bis head and motioned to the attendants to lift the officer aside. When they had left him, Steve Bray ton sat down beside him and bathed his face with whisky and gave •fhim to drink. The captain had recognized him at once, bat it was several Pfminutes before he queried: "Yon and Kenton were in the fight |«t Harrisonburg and were captured. jjPSow came you here?" "We una made a bolt fur it on the toad and got away." "And what has happened here?" "Waal, Kenton was wounded, then me and him stood off Ike Baxter and his crowd, then the gal's mother died, vthen the gal and Kenton hev bin driv away to the Yankee lines. Sorry lur yo\ cap, and sorry fur the rest of 'em, fur our hull crowd faaB bin wiped off the face of the airth!" "Have we been defeated?" "Regularly cleaned out, cap. 1 don't believe a hundred of our men got away. 'Cordin to what them doctors say, yo' can't pull through this. Do yo' want to leave any word with me?" "No," whispered the captain after a moment's thoaght. "Not even far the gal? She won't •bear no grudge when she hears yo' ar' •dead."

The captain shook bis head and closed his eyes. Steve moved away after a few minutes to look for other Confederate wounded, and two hours later the offi'cer's dead body was carried out with others to make room for the wounded

When morning came and the dead /were gathered for burial, Steve Brayton found many that he could identify. In deed a full half of his own company had been wiped out, and among them was Ike Baxter. But great as was the Confederate loss, that of the Federals was severo. History has said of that first real cavalry fight of the war that it was terribly brief induration and appalling in Its list of dead and wounded. It was almost night of the day following ttie fight before the last of the Federals moved off and left the field. And how changed was Rest Haven,jjand what a misnomer the title which bad been given to it in the years of peace! Cin ders and ashes showed where the houses had stood. Across the plain, furrowed by shot and shell and hoof, its snow whito carpet now spattered and blotched by a thousand bloodstains, thoy had dug long trenches and covered in the dead. Trees had been cut down, bushes uprooted, and over acres of ground was strewed (ho wreck of battle.

I have but few more pages to write. My story has not been all romance, and it its with a feeling of selfishnesb that I part from those of my characters who

are with na in iin- il ...n today, and whose hands I have held in mine within the last twelvemonth. .At the opening of my story Winchester was described as a quaint old town. That was true of it— a quaint old town of quaint houses and streets and people. War wrecked it again and again. Every street and square and alloy witnessed a death grapple. Every building which escaped the flames was marked by ball or bullet. A few month* ago I looked in vain for trace of war. Here and thero a quaint old house still stands, but the town is full of the bustle of these rushing days. Ah, but there was a trace of war after all. Up in the cemetery skirted by the Berryville pike I found grave after grave In which soldiers slept th^ir last long sleep, each name engraved the stone, and behind them the pitiful spot over which all may sorrow, but no one weep —tho resting place of (he "unknown,"

It was many days ere Kenton or MarIan or Mrs. Baxter walked in the eunihine. In the case of the latter perhaps it was better that her mind groped in tho darkness, and that it was months before she could realize her widowhood. Genornl Custer kindly sent her on to Washington for treatment,and for weeks and wt'uka she kept calling out: "Ike said he'd go fur help to captor' the Yankee, but he hain't dun come back yit. Ike's goin to be a great ossifer aud hev a sword and a prancin critter, and I'll hold up my head with any of 'em."

Where is Uncle Ben Gone to his rest years ago, but he lived to seethe end of tho war and to enjoy for a season the haven of rest which kind hearts created for him.

There was a marriage in Winchester about two months atter tho battle of Rest Haven. They called it a military marriage, because more than 50 Federal officers attended, because a Federal chaplain officiated, because a Federal band serenaded the happy couple. Who tio yon think gave away the bride? General Custer, who became a groom him-

self only a few days later. Royal Kenton had recovered from his wound, and the keen edge of Marian 'a grief bad been somewhat dulled by lapse of time and the excitement of her surroundings. It was bettor so. Kenton was not held for exchange under the circumstances, nor did any one wish him to become a renegade by joining tho Federal service. After the marriage tho bridal couple, accompanied by Uncle Ben, went north and there remained till the close of the war. Steve Brayton was asked to go— nay,almost commanded—but bo replied "See yere, Yauk, I've bin tbinktnand thiokin, and I make it ont this way: 1 sorter owed the confederacy a grudge fur the way it treated yo', and bevin paid it off and squared the debt I oxter go back. Thar won't be nuthin said about yo* nrter the war, bekase yo' was actually drir out, but the boys would rub it in on mo party heavy to the day of my death. 1*11 jest surrender over again to this Yankee army, waft to be exchanged and in doe time become a good Con fed again."

And that-was the counse be followed, and when 1 shook hands with him in Winchester last spring I was proud to give him his titleaa Ueatenant. Did the

THE KXD.

THE QUEEN INDIGNANT.

She Contradicts the Statement That Her Granddaughter Is a Sick Woman.

It very rarely happens that the queen condescends to take any notice of published gossip respecting members of the royal family. The fact that she caused to be telegraphed from Balmoral in the daily Court Circular an emphatic contradiction of the report that the Princess Alix of Hesse, recently betrothed to the czarowitz, was taking the waters at Harrogate in order to cure a long striding internal complaint proves beyond question that her majesty was deeply moved and highly incensed at the audacity of a newspaper scribe in daring to suggest that her granddaughter's constitution is unsound. The queen's irritation as a grandmother and a matchmaker is natural and understandable. The czarowitz is himself a weakling, and if it should prove to be true that his affianced bride's health had been undermined his big burly father would beyond doubt break off the match. Tho probability is that there is nothing organically wrong with the young princess, but it is absurd for the queen to declare that the report of her ailment, is "absolutely without foundation. Tho Wesminater Gazette, which gave prominenco to the original report, flippantly remarks with regard to the contradiction that "any allusion to the indisposition of any royal person appears to bo considered at court as a species of treason, the court preferring that tho ailments of such personages shall be ignored until the rattles are in their throats, and when the sovereign or prince or princess happens to be dangerously ill the public are always informed that the invalid is going on favorably, although, as a matter of faot, he or she is at that time going as fast as possible to the grave." ^5*!'

The Gazette then affirms that Princess Alix has been in delicate health for several years p«st and that she has undergone "cures" at Badnaulieim, Schwalbacli and other places. The Gazette suggestively adds that the princess would not have buried herse,lf at a small Yorkshire watering place at the height of the London season if she were in perfect health. This is certainly the popular view, and the prevailing skepticism is not likely to be removed until an authoritative statement shall have been made as to the nature of the princess malady.—London Letter.

FOR RICH STUDENTS ONLY.

Princely Quarters at Tale, With the Rent Rate# For tho New Year.

In the list of rentals in the Yale dormitories no change has been' made in the rooms that have been occupied, but students have been watohing to see at what prices the accommodations in the new buildings—Vanderbilt, White and Berkoloy—would be placed. Durfee has been considered the rich man's dormitory, but Vanderbilt appears destined to take that distinction immediately.

Berkeley will be a cheaper priced dormitory, as its 40 rooms bring an average of $2.87 per week, with the highest priced ones, of which there are four, at $5.50 a week. White will average $4.11 per H-k for its 52 rooms, but it has eight r.fc $1 per week each, from which tho price rises to one at $10.

Tho cheapest room in Vanderbilt will be rented at $4,50 a week without, board. From that, the prices rise to $ 10 a week each for 16 rooms, an average of $S. 15 per week for the 06 rooms in that building. In each ease the cost will be divided between two students who occupy the same suit. Tho university will receive $19,350 from Vanderbilt hall, f0,120 from White and $8,420 from Berkeley for each college year week.

The net return from Vanderbilt hall will probably be greater than those of any other college dormitory in the country, but it is stated strongly that the net proceeds will not exceed 1)4 P43* cent of the cost of the building and land. Many people are wondering why. in view of the fact that the Vanderbilt is evidently to be a rich man's home, the corporation did not place the rentals higher, to get a greater return from the

building. The rooms would all have been taken at whatever prices were placed upon them, and the

corporation

oould obtain a large revenue from

this

building.—New Haven Palladium..

The colonel is a greaf admirer of "the British aristocracy. He does not speak familiarly about any one of a lower degree in the peerage than an earl. The way he talks about his friend the duke of this and the duke of that is paralyzing, There is only one gentleman without title in London that Tom speaks enthusiastically about He is the American named Astor, now running a Tory paper in the British metropolis. "William Waldorf Astor," said the colonel as he cast his weather eye to ward the ceiling, crossed his legs reflectively and waved his hand gracefully through the air, "is paralyzing London by the evidence which he gives of what American wealth and American high breeding can accomplish abroad. He is worth $200,000,000 and would gladly have spent his income in New York had he been given half a show. He is an author and a gentleman. He was anxious to enter politics and presented himself for the suffrage of the people of Gotham as a candidate for congress. As they always do in New York when a gentleman runs for office, Mr. Astor was unceremoniously turned down. He therefore concluded to move temporarily at least to a more congenial dime and is now located in London. His methods have. elicited admiration and amazement from that the greatest capital in the world. "He wished to buy a home. 'What is the best house for sale in London?' asked Mr. Astor. 'Cliveden,' said the attorney. 'It belongs to the Duke of Westminster and can be had for $6, 000,000.' 'Buy it,' said Mr. Astor, 'and bring the deeds to me in half an hour, if possible.' 'Good heavens I' exclaimed the attorney, 'it will take several days to consummate the transac tion.' 'Consummate it as quiokly as possible,'.retorted Mr. Astor, 'and if you have six or seven more houses just as good trot them out.' "He got Cliveden and is now spending $1,000,000 in fitting it up, and he is beating the dukes on their own ground. A few days after, Mr. Astor, who has literary tastes, inquired in a casual manner whether any first class paper was for sale. 'I want the best there is in the market,' said Mr. Astor, 'and I want it quick too.' 'The Pall Mall Gazette,' said the attorney, 'can be purchased, but the price is enormous.' 'Never mind the price, but go and buy it for ma' The bargain was struck the same evening. The next morning Mr. Astor sent for several un employed dukes, earls, marquises and viscounts, and offered them jobs as editors and reporters on his paper. They said their prices would be necessarily high, owing to their social positions. 'Expense cuts no figure with me,' said Mr. Astor. 'My object is purely a philanthropic one, which is to relieve the suffering and distress among the nobility of England.' His managing editor wears a coronet as he uses the blue pencil. His police reporter is descendant of a family which came over with Billy the Conqueror. The socicty reporter, when off on his vacation, lives in a baronial castle in Yorkshire. No such staff is found on any other paper on the globe. When Mr. Astor gets up in the morning and rings for coffee and toast, his managing editor is waiting outside the door to receive orders for the day. A tap of his bell summons three earls and a marquis. He tried to get a countess for the lady cashier of the business office and was much disappointed at failing to do so, but expects before the season is over to complete a transaction with a dowager duchess, who will lick postage stamp and add dignity to the down stairs department of the paper., "It can naturally be supposed tbat Mr. Astor's lavish display of wealth and praiseworthy efforts to relieve distress among the nobility in London have brought him into great prominence. No one puts on any frills to him, I tell you. Americans are proud of a man who could buy out the royal family and yet is a simple citizen of the United States, holding up its banner and defending its democratic traditions. "Mr. Astor did not like the hotel in London at which he was obliged to stop. He sent for his attorney. 'Where is the best site for a hotel in London?' asked Mr. Astor. 'The Thames embankment,' replied the attorney. 'Buy it,' said Mr. Astor. 'It is not for sale,' said the attorney: 'Anything is for sale,' said Mr. Astor, 'if the price is high enough.' The attorney worked for six weeks, but was unable to secure the entire Thames embankment He did, however, parchase an acre of ground for $4,000,000, and Mr. Astor would have put up a $10,000,000 hotel if the times had not been so stringent and his income slightly reduced.

Misouri Pacific. He never traded on his relationship to the millionaire, so that he is little known outside his immediate circle of railroad acquaintances.

Fred first saw the light of day in St. Louis. The happy father notified his brother in Wall street that he had a son and heir, and Jay, in a spasm of fraternal feeling, asked that the child should be christened Jay Gould, Jr., and promised that he would do something handsome for his namesake.

The father detested the junior, which he thought his boy would have to write after his name for a good many years, so he compromised by calling the boy Jay Frederick.'

The lr.d was left motherless at an early age, but he received a mother's caro from the wife of Captain Austin of the Pacific Mail company, who practically adopted the boy. Jay Frederick was brought to Oakland, where he lived until the Austins moved to this city. Recently the captain died at Panama, but the widow lives here and sends the boy to school. The boy has the Gould fea tures and complexion. He is very slow in his movements and in his speech, but he inherits the business sagacity of his uncle, as he generally gets the better of any of his playmates in a trade. He also shows a shrewdness beyond his years in purchasing any articles.

When his uncle died, Mrs. Austin was very anxious to learn whether the millionaire had done anything for his nephew. She knew that Jay had been wroth because the father had not follow ed his instructions in naming the boy, but she thought the millionaire might have relented. The will showed that he gave Abeam $25,000, but there was ab solutely no mention of the little boy whose middle name knocked him out of a chance of a fortune.—San Francisco ChroniclePVffj „, g-y /X Golf Talk.
