The old father was watching her from a parting in the window curtain, and as she tripped toward the hospital an expression of satisfac-1 tion came over hi* face. And thatMa how Alice came to ba installed as Brown's nurse. Brown slept for two hours calmly and peacefully. When he at last slowly, half dreamily awoke he felt a soft hand on his forehead, and opening his eyes they met those of his darling one. “Ned. my darling, do you know me? Do yon know your Alice?" she whispered, bending over him. “Know you. my blessed angel? Os course I do," he replied, making an effort to throw his arms about her neck. She gently stopped him and with a blush upon her happy face said: “No. Ned. .not here. Somebne may aeo yon. The attaches of the hospital do not think it strange that I should nurse my noble rescuer back to health and strength again, but they might not see the propriety of me permitting his embraces. They are not aware j that your nurse’s heart is all yours, j my darling, every, lit tie. tiny bit of it." “Bless you for those words, my ; love. And you have been with me often the surgeon tells me.” “Yes. Ned. very often, but you were delirious and did not know me. The Burgeon had almost given you up, and oh! my darling, my poor heart was breaking. He has just told me that ■ you have pu-ssed the crisis and will live, ’ and 1 have been down on my knAc> by yourcot Jhanking the Father for sparing you to me. Now Ned, dear, listen j to me. You are nolyet,out of danger, and you are in my care, and the doctor has given me imperative orders to not let you talk much. lam going to obey orders implicitly, and I am going to < make you obey me. Do you hear that. Nr. Ned? Here, now, it is, time for you to ■ take, your medicine. There! Be careful! Don’t spill it all over your chin You i ”■ careless fellow! You are the most awk- j Ward pa! ient I ever had." # Thus she went on in m*-k reproof, j The happy tom s of h< r voiceband the arch, loving smile which accompanied her words did him more good than : could any medicine in the post dispensary . “But. Alice, I m rig talk. I cannot lie here and—” “Xo.-you.mvzf set talk, you rebellious ; darling." Then glancing around to see that no one was near she implanted a kiss on his pale lips and continued: “There now. sec if that will seal tout lips. You must just lie there and let me do all the talking. ‘ Papa, says I am j a little nuisance? of a chatterbox any-' how. ao I guess 1 can talk enough for both of us." ■ ’ “Then tell me all that has happened,since I lost consciousness behind the i rocks, and I iwill lie as quiet as a mouse and listen." be said, taking her hand in hla and pressing it warmly. I “All right, and don’t you forget yonr promise or I may punish you again by ■ sealing your lips. You see, the people : at the f. rt heard the firing when the Indians oantc upon us. and just after you fainted away a troop of cavalry came dashing up with papa at Its head. He sprang fn in his horse with great j big tears In his eyes, the very first 1I ever saw there in all my life, and I thought he would hug me to death, lie asked me if the Indians had harmed me and 1 told him they had not, but I j feared you were killed. He stooped j down orer you and looked at your pule face and the blood all over your breast, and than, <», Ned, he raved like a madman 1 never saw him in such a passion before! He stamped the ground and struck the rocks with his sword < and swore, oh! just awfully! He called j you by name, and (now, you mustn’t j mind. Ned. fbr it waa only papa’s bluster and he didn’t mean It) he called you a villain and told you get up and • not lie there making a fool of yourself, I and said if you attempted to die he | would have you drummed out of the service. He called you a brave, noble , rascal, and said he’d rather lose every | man in the garrison than you. Then * he turned on CapL Colby and asked ■ him what in the—bad man, you know— t he was standing there for like a gaping idiot while the Indians were escaping. and ordered him to follow and kill eVery one of them. The troop i dashed ahead and overtook the Indians in the sand hill* across the river and had an awful fight with them, for more Indians had o<me after the bend \ that chased ui Pupa sent his orderly flying back to the fort after the sue- j geon and an ambulance, and then he fussed around and hugged me and called you good and bad names until j the surgeon came. Then you were | lifted in the ambulance, papa scolding the soldiers ami telling them he would annihilate them if they hurt you. On the way in you recovered consciousness but were delirious. You kept begging , me to fly to the fort and save myself and Icavq you to your fate, and pupa i asked if you had talked that way when ' you was fighting the Indians, and when , I told him those were your very words his lipa trembled, and. he turned his back and began to abuse the i*M>r driver for running over stones. And that’s the whole story, dear, from a to izzard ” “God bless him. bls heart is in the right place, if his tongue does tly the track occasionally. Oh. my darling! !

That ■ ahnt would prove fatal in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred. I can’t see where his heart could have been for that ball to miss it" “In his mouth, no doubt, or— Well, no matter. I think it was not in his possession at thetime. But, pshaw! You can't kill an infernal rascal like him, Doc, a—a—a—a lion that masquerades in the skin of a dum jackass. I’ll make him shed that donkey skin when he gets on his feet again. Yes, damme, I'll make him wear his own colors. I’ll go in and take a look at him.” The old man entered the ward and * ' walked up to the wounded man’s cot There was a look of unmistakable tenderness in his face as he gazed on the j pale features of the wounded man, and i then on his daughter. “How is your patient. Sunshine?" he ■ asked in the mildest tone of voice she : had ever heard him use outside of hi* j own home. - •*O, he is doing real nicely, papa, and we now feel sure he will recover from i his cruel wound. The surgeon gave me ; strict orders not to allow him to talk, and I have just been scolding him tor attempting to do so.” “That’s right. Make him keep his j mouth shut only when he takes his' medicine, and if he refuses to obey or- ’ ders, gag him.” A broad smile rested on his face as he spoke. Then for a moment, again contemplating the wan face of the soldier, he said: ’ j “Private Brown, I am a gentleman,' sir. and I think I know what is due ' from one gentleman to another- Give ’ me your hand, sir, and accept my warmest thanks and most hearty gratitude for your noble, gallant rescue of the light of my life, this sweet girl here, from a horrible fate at the hands of those murderous Apaches, and tor your !

Two young hearts glowing with an encouragement j that filled their souls with happiness | supreme. . ■ •■ ' The days passed rapidly, and despite the pain he suffered they were happy days to Private Brown, for Alice was ever by his cot encouraging him with : her devoted lore. Nor was she alone i in her attentions to the wounded man. J Every officer apd lady in the garrison called daily and bestowed upos him the kindest Attention, their hearts i glowing with admiration for his heroism. 1 said cyery officer. That was I not true. Lieut Tenderer never came ' near him. That-offieer now kept close ! in the aeelusion'Af his own quarters ! only when come forth on i duty. When his troop was ordered | s hastily into the saddle to fly to the as- j j sistance of Brown in his defense of the ’ I commander's daughter Vanderer j pleaded illness and 'took to his bed for j a day. The looks of contempt which i were cast at him by the other officers ' after that day made his life one not to j > be envied, and it was not long before, [at his own request, he was transferred I j to a distant garrison, where he vowed ; jbe would Icgin his military career I anew. . r • With tender, loving hands Alice ad- j I ministered to her lover’s every want. I ' an I the roses deepened in her checks. . her eyes grew brighrer and her musical laugh took on a more joyous ring ss ; I she noted his fast increasing strength. I When be was at last permitted to rise from his cot and walk slowly about ; I the ward supported by her arm. she ; secrne I happy and joyous as a child. I One fine morning before Allee had come to the hospital on her daily mission of love, the surgeon and Brown | sat talking In the former’s office. < The patient had <m the previous day walked to his troop’s quarters, where ’ I he was given an oration by his comrades. | "It is a lovely warm morning Brown,"fthe -urgeon -aid. “and if you will walk stowiy and not overeexert yourself you can go and surprise the colonel and your little nupMT-wUh a call. Tam raw they will come you.” * X He needed no second bidding, and leaning on a cane for support, walked slowly to the colonel’s quarters, yn the way he met several officer*, ami : warm were the congratulations upon him oyer his recovery. Again he crossed the perch as he had done a few weeks before, but not now with fear ' and trembling. Entering the hall he rapped lightly tat the colonel's door. The same sharp. I harsh “Gome in." greeted his ears, bat ( it did hot now fill him with alarm. Turning the knob, hwentcred. “Private Brown, by all the god* of war!” cried the bluff old soldier, arisj Ing and grasping his band. “Out ' again, eh? Once more on your pins? I That’s right. Take a chair. I ana : very glad to see you." For half an hour they convened regarding his wound, his return to duty and various other topics, but the young ; soldier's thoughts were in another ‘ apartment \uith his loved one, and he longed to greet her for the first time in her ow» home- Unable to rappreai this burning desire be finally said: XreturatotM

hospital will yon not permit me to pay my respects to my faithful nurse, Miss Sanford?” “Private Brown, we may as well come to an understanding right now. You nobly risked your life to restore my beloved child to my arms, and I am deeply grateful to you for doing so. It was but her simple duty to nurse yon through the long days of suffering which you were Called upon io endure from a severe and dangerous wound received in her defense. She performed that duty, and with my full approval and consent Her duties as your nurse are now at an end, and I regret that I may give you pain after all you suf- ’ sered for her if. in doing what I consider to be a father’s duty, I use harsh language toward you. You may think it cruel and heartless, sir, when I tell yon that I cannot permit her in her j own home to receive a call from a private soldier, no matter how worthy that soldier may be.” Brown’s face paled, as the cruel | Words ent into hte heart as a knife. A great fear came upon him, and be al- ! most groaned aloud in his agony of spirit. He tried to speak, but with a gesture the officer stopped him. “Nowi Hir, hear my decree, from the enforcement of which I will never swerve a jot. After this visit Private I Richard Brown will never again be per--1 mitted to enter this house, and I shall •forbid my daughter to ever again mention his name in my presence. This may seem damnably cruel to you, sir, after what you have done for ns. but there are rules of propriety in army life that ' cannot be disregarded. My daughter cannot maintain friendly relations with | a private in the ranks.” He paused and regarded the young man closely. Brown sat as dumb as a marble statue and almost as pale, for his heart was completely crushed at the cruel decree. “But,” the colonel resumed, with a strange twinkle in. his eyes, “Lieut. Edward Thornton will always be a welcome guest at my home. There is your commission, sir, yon trembling rascal, fresh from the hands of the secretary of war. Lieutenant ThoAiton, let me be the first to congratulate you upon your promot ion, and to assure you that if you prove as faithful in the discharge of your duties as an officer as Private i Brown always proved as a soldier in the ranks, the stars of a general may some day rest upon your shoulders.” As he spoke he handed the young man his commission, and warmly grasped his hand, while a grim smile played over his face. Thornton took the paper mechanicaUy. In his wild astonishment he could not utter a word. He stood there trem- ‘ bling and turning white and red by turns until the old officer broke into a loud laugh over his embarrassment. ; “Paralyzes you, my boy? Just petrifies you with amazement. By Godfrey, I have had that document hid away for two weeks just to have this fun with you. Never mind, lieutenant i (slapping him familiarly on the shouli der) you'll get over it and regain fuU use of your paralyzed tongue after awhile. 1 will find something that will < restore your speech. Alice! Alice!” “Coming, papa, in a moment,” came a silvery voice from another part of the house. Like a ray of loveliest sunshine she entered, and an exclamation of pleasure fell from her lips at sight of her lover. “Lieut. Thornton, allow me to present my daughter. Miss Sanford. Alice, dear, this is First Lieut. Edward Thornton. a new officer just assigned to duty with B Troop, Sixth cavalry. The old man darted out of the door to hide the tears that he could no longer force back, and the lovers were clasped in- each other’s arms. “Ned, dear, what is the matter with papa? What did he mean by such an introduction?” As an answer he placed the commis- | sion in her hands, and’a hasty glance at the document told her all. With a j glad cry she again clasped her arms around the young officer's neck and toj gether they wept tears of joy. “Your father says you must never I mention the name of Private Brown again, darling,” he said, with a smiling face. “I just don’t care what papa says, 1 will always love him. He was my first ' love, and the name Private Brown will ■ always be a cherished one in my heart.” How handsome he looked in his new ! uniform, with the straps of a first lieui tenant resting on his shoulders. And . how proud the day when Col. Sanford i introduced him to the officers of the garrison as a brother officer and as his prospective eon-in-law. From every officer of the post he received a moat 1 hearty welcome into the official ranks, and not one of them but felt honored with the friendship of one whose heroism had been put to such an extreme test and had not been found wanting. J A couple of years after their marriage Lieut, and Mrs. Thornton were sitting i on the parch of their quarters enjoying j the refreshing of a New Mexi- | co rammer evening. The lieutenant was i enjoying a cigar and watching the ever- ! changing hues of the western clocds as 1 the sun slowly sank down behind the San Mateo mountains while his lovely wife sat scanning the columns of the last issue of the Army and Navy Journal. “O. Ned! Here is an item abont Mr. \ Vanderer." she exclaimed. “What is it, dear?” “Dismissed from the service for cowardice in the face of the enemy in an Indian campaign in Wyoming.” "It does not astonish me." he replied. "Such unworthy men but rarely get into the service to east reproach upon the most honored profession on earth, and they invariably meet with their just deserts.

Ripley County, Ind., that Mrs, Osting, wi.'e al Heury Osting. a prominent and influential citizen of that town, bad been cured of a bad case of neuralgia of the heart and stomach the editor Os the New Era determined, to know for the satisfaction of himself and the benefit of his readers the truth in regards to the matter. and took advantage of a trip to Sunman last week. The Osting residence is a very handsome one, and on every hand is seen the footprints of good fortune. Ars, Osting herself, bale and hearty, invited us into her cosy parlor. One could,hardly believe by looking at the lady, who showed all signs-of good health, that she was-but nine months ago a despondent victim of that dread .disease, neuralgia of the heart and stomach. ’ In answer to the question if she bad been cured of a bad disease of neuralgia by the use o' Dr. Williams’.

Mrs. Osting continued t “No sir; I never did have good health; I was always naturally weak. When quite young Hogan experiencing trouble from my heart and stomach which the doctors said was neural- - gia.
