The last koiiihIh of tho combat died ou 3ie enrs of the anxious listpnors In the ;ottai;, nnd were mccceJcd by the still ipkh of suspense. Francos had continued Sy herself, striving to exclude the uproar, md vainly endeavoring to summon resolu tion to meet (lie dreaded result. After sritnrating tho escape of his son, Mr. Whnr'nn had Joined his sister and eldest laughter In their retrent, and the three continued fearfully waiting for news from :h field. L'nable longer to remain under the painful uncertainty of her situation, Frances soon added herself to the uneasy rroup, and Oesar was directed to exam ine into the state of things without and report. The father now briefly related lo his astonished children the circum itsnce of their brother's escape. They were jet In the freshness of their surprise, when the door opened and Captain Whar ton, attended by a couple of the guides sod followed by the black, stood before them. "Henry my son. my son," cried the tgitated parent, stretching out his arms; "what is it I see? Are yoa airain a cap tive, and in danger of your life?" "The better fortune of these rebels has prevailed," said the youth, endeavoring to force a cheerful smile. "I strove nobly "lIENUT, MT BOM, IT SOX." for my liiicrly; but the perverse spirit of rebellion hm even lichted on their horses. The Rteed curried me Into the very center of Dunwoodie's men." "And you were ngaln captured," contin ued the fnther, casting a fearful glance on tlie armed attendants. "Tlint, sir, you niny safely say; this Mr. I.nwton, who sees so far, had me In custody again Immediately." Frances had stood supporting herself by the back of a chair, catching in breath less ntixioty every syllable as It was ut tered ; her color changed rapidly : her limbs Bhook under her, until, with desper ttc resolution, site Inquired: Is any officer hurt on the on either side?" "Yes," answered the man. cavalierly, "these southern youths ore full of mettle; sne o? the wounded told me that Captain Singleton was killed and Major Dunwoo- dio " Frances heard no more, but fell life less in the chair behind her. The atten tion of her friends soon revived her, when the captain, turning to tbe man, said, fearfully: "Surely Major Punwoodie Is unhnrt?" "Nexer fear him," added the guide, dis regarding tbe agitation of the family: "they say a man who Is born to be hang ed will never be drowned: if a bullet could kill the major, be would have been dead long ago. I was going to say that the major is In a sad taking because of the captain's being killed ; but had I known how much store tho lady set hv him, I wouldn't have been so plain spok en. Frances now rose quickly from her seat' with cheks glowing with confusion, and. leaning on her aunt, was about to retire, when Dunwoodie himself appeared. Tbe first emotion of the asitated girl was un alloyed happiness j In tbe next Instant she shrank back appalled from the un usual expression that reigned in his coun- temnee. The sternness of battle yet sat on ms brow; bis eye was fixed and se vere. "Mr. Wharton," he earnestly began, "in times like these, wo need not stand on Idle ceremony; one of lus officer. I am afraid. Is hurt mortally, ami. presuming on your hospitality, 1 have brought him to your door." , "I am huppy, islr, that you have done so," snid Mr. Wharton, at once perceiv ing uie imporiume ot conciliating the American troops. "ir, I thank you. If you plense, we will have him conducted where the sur- gtoo tuny see and report upon bis ease. without delay." To this there could be no ohjection; and Frances felt a chiil at her heart, as her lover withdrew, without cast'in;; a solitary look on herself. Captain Wharton voluntarily jave a pledge to bis keepers not to attempt again eacapiug, and then proceeded to execute those duties, on behalf of his father, which were thought necessary lu a host! On entering the passage for that pur pose, be met the operator who bad so dexterously dressed his arm, advancing to the room of the wounded otfieer. "Ah !" cried the disciple of Aesculapius. "I see you are doing well." . "Hasten, Nitgrenves, hasten; or George Singleton will die from loss of blood," tried lh.uwuoille. "What! Singleton! Ood forbid: files ir.s is It George poor little George !" exclaimed the surgeon, as be quickened bis pace, and hastcued to the side of the bed ; "be is alive, though." The group around the bed of Captain Singleton were accustomed to the manner of their surgeons. They quietly awaited the niomcut when be was to commence his examination. This now took place, and Dunwoodie stood looking the operator in the face, with un expression t lint warned to read his soul, The patient shrank from the atitilp-aflon of the probe. The surgeon applied himself In earnest to his work. All this tiins Puuwood'.o stood in feverish silence, holding one ot tho hands of the sufferer iu both bis own, watching the countenance of Pr. Sitgreavcs. At length Singleton cave a slight groau, and 'be sur.'veon roso with alacrity, "Will he liv?" e.,ktfd Puuwoodie. "IK. will." Thank God!" cried the youth, hastea Ing bcliiw. Punwoodie for a moment Joined the Jamil). His fnca was no longer wanting In smil . and bin salutations, though Wsty, wcie corul. U look at atk of the escape and nvapture of ITenry Wharton. On the ground they bad not met. The Knglish officer withdrew in haughty silence to a window. The excitement produced br the events of tho day In the youthful feelings of the sisters had been succeeded by a lan guor that kept them both silent, and Pun woodie held his discourse with Miss Iey ton. "Is there any hope, my cousin, that your friend can survive his wound?" said the lady, advancing toward her kinsman, with a smile of benevolent regard. Everything, my dear tnndam, every thing," answered the soldier, cheerfully. "Sitgreaves says he will live." lour pleasure is not much greater than my own. One so dear to Major Punwoodie cannot fail to excite an Inter est iu the bosom of his friends." "Say one so deservedly dear, mxdani," returned the major with warmth ; "he la the beneflcent spirit of the corps, equally beloved by us all. Hut now he requires care and nursing; ail depends on the at tention he receives. He must be foster ed, cherished, soothed." 'These are offices for a sister or a wife." "A sister!" repeated the soldier, the blood rnsbing to his own face tumult ously; "a sister! he has a sister; and one that might be here with to-morrow's sun."' lie paused, mused In silence, glanced his eyes uneasily at Frances, aud muttered in an undertone: "Singleton requires it, and It must be done." The ladies had watched his varying countenance in some surprise, and Miss I'eyton now observed that : "If there were a sister of Captain Sin gleton near them, her presence would be Kindly requested both by herself and nieces." "It must be, madam : it cannot well be otherwise," replied Punwoodie, with a hesitation that but ill agreed with his for mer declarations; "she shall be sent for express this very night." And then, as if willing to change the subject, he ap proached Cuptain Wharton, and contin ued mildly : "Henry Wharton, to me honor Is dear er thnn life, but In your bands I know It can safely be confided; remain hero un warched, until we leave the county, which will not bo for some days." The distance in t lie ninnner of the nu:r- lish officer vanished, and, taking tho of fered hand of the other, ho replied, with warmth: "Your generous confidence, Pey bm, will not be abused, even though the gibbet on which your Washington hung Andre be ready for my own execution." "Henry Henry Wharton," said Pun woodie, reproachfully, "you little know man who leads our armies, or you would have spared him that reproach ; but duty calls me without. I-leave you where I could wish to stay myself, and where you cannot.be wholly unhappy." Punwoodie proceeded to the field wnera his troops had halted. The remnant of the English were already to be seen, over the tops of the trees, marching along the heights toward their boats. The detach ment of the dragoons under Lawtou were a short distance on their flank, eagerly awaiting a favorablo moment to strike a "to bkpoht ToirnsEi.y wounded." blow. In this manner both parties were soon lost to view. A short distance nbove the Locusts was' a small hamlet, where several roads in tersected each other. It was a favorite halting place of the horse. To this place the troops were directed to retire, carry- in with them their wounded; parties were already employed iu .the sud duty of interring the dead. In making these ar rangements, a new object of embarrass ment presented itself to our young soldier. In moving through the field he was struck with the appearance of Colonel Wcllmere, sented by himself, brooding over his mis fortunes, uninterrupted by anything but the passing clvllitiesi of the American offi cers. Punwoodie. who bad seen one of bis own men ride him down, offered him surg'cal assistance. This could only be procured at the cottage, aud thither they both proceeded. "Colonel Wellmere!" cried young Wharton In astonishment, as they enter ed, "has the fortune of war been thus cruel to you also? but you are welcome to tbe house of my father." Mr. Wharton received this new guest with the guarded 'coution that distin guished bis manner, aud Punwoodie left the room to seek the bedside ot bis friend. Everything here looked propitious, and ha acquainted the surgeon tint another pa tient waited his skill in the room below. Thu sound of the word was enough to set tho doctor in motion, and, seizing bis im plements of oflice, be went iu quest of this new applicant, "Hlr," cried Pr. Sitgreaves. on enter ing the parlor, addressing himself to tho only coat of scarlet in the room, "I am advised you are In want of my aid. Where are you hurt, sir? What ! is it then this scratch in your shoulder? In what man ner might you have received this wound, sir?" "From tbe sword of a rebel dragoon," said the colonel, with emphasis'. "Never! Even the gentlo George Sin gleton would not have breathed on you so harmlessly." lie touk a piece of stick ing plaster from his pocket nud applied It to tho part. "There, sir, th.it will an swer your purpose, mid am ccriuiu li U nil that is required of me." "What do you take lo be my purpose, then, sir?' "To report yo"rslf wounded Is yor dispatches," replied the doctor, with great steadiness. "Very extrnordinnry language," mut tered the Englishman.

Professor Darwin said that If It had not been for Insects tho world never wonld have had any more Imposing or attractive flowers than those of the elm, the hop and the nettle. lord Avebury compares the work of the Insect to that of tho florist. He con siders that Just ns the florist has by selection produced tho elegant blos soms of the garden so the Insects, by selecting the largest and brightest blossoms for fertilization, have pro duced the gny flowers of the field. Trofessor I'lateau of Ghent bus car ried out a series of remarkable expetl nienU on the ways of Insects visiting flowers. He considers that they are guided by scent rather than by color and In this connection he Is at variance with certain British naturolists. Whatever may bo the attraction In flowers to Insects as yet It appeara undefined It Is certain that the latter visit freely all blossoms alike, mak ing no distinction between the large, bright-colored and the less conspicuous blooms like those cf the currants, tbe lime, tho plauetree, tba nettle and tbe willow. A Preatdent'a Daughter. When President Grant's ouly daugh ter, Nellie, afterwards Mrs. Sartoris, was a miss of twelve years she attend ed a private school In Washington. One afternoon, says the author of "The Oli via Lettern," Nellie's lessons were not learned. The carriage came for her, but tbe teacher dismissed It with the request tbat It should return at the end of a half-hour. The half-hour came and glided away with the lesson still unlearned. The carriage came again, and was dismiss ed. At tho end of the second half-hour the lesson was committed, and Mls3 Nellie was permitted to go. The next day at the usual hour the young lady arrived, accompanied by her mother. The teacher began to fear sua had lost her most cherished pupil, but Mrs. Grant came to thank her fur per forming her duty. "Teach her," said Mrs, Grant, "that she is only plain, simple Nellie Grant, subject to the same rules which govern all the scholars. This course will have my sincere approbation." Verdant. Senator Bcveridge was talking ona afternoon In Washington to a crouo of newly elected congressmen. "You boys,' he said, "must on no ac count appear green. Keep cool, go slow, think before you speak; then you tton't give yourselves away." The unripe congressmen laughed, and Senator Beverldge continued: "I should hate to hear tbat one of you bad acted as a new cougressman, ouce did. "He, at soon as be reached Wash ington, went off to a photogrnpuer'a to he photographed. "'I want uiy likeness taken, he said. "'Cabinet?' the photographer asked.

Teraonnlly, sitys n clever man In a housekeeping discussion, when my wire Is from home I hand the housekeeping money to uiy cook, who Is a careful soul with simple Ideas, and she Inva riably h.in a surplus nt tho tud of the months mid I lose weight, I believe, but nm in better health. I have even done the housekeeping myself. My wife and I consider tho allow ance for food, etc., as n trust fund (no matter who has It), to bo expended for a certain purpose lu the homo, the vic tualing of the home, not for powder and paint, nor for clgurettcs or pipes, but for victualing the home. It Is certainly the wife's duty, If she is doing the housekeeping, to expend the whole, or else to tell the husband she can do with less allowance In that j direction, or put It In the ralny-doy fund. It Is not fair for anybody con cerned that the wife should cut down supplies or use poorer food In order to save -money for other, and perhaps prl I vatc, purposes other than for the pur poses the money was obtained. That would be misappropriation of tho funds at her disposal. The wife has her allowance for "pin money," as It Is called, and the hus band does not cluini tier surplus of that, If any. .Why should tho wife . claim the surplus money from store allowance or linnsekoeiilnc? Ael for C'ompniiloiiahlp. There la a wise old Gcriunn saying thut "only n god or a brute can dwell In solitude.'' Men and women need congenial companionship, both for the sake of health and huppinoss. Just as jour lungs, after using up all-the oxy gon in a close' room, need to be filled with fresh, out-of-door ulr, so your minds need contact with other minds to got new Ideas. There is such a thing as mental as well as physical hunger. Herders on the cattle ranches of the West frequently become mad from the Isolation tbc-y are forced to endure. Women ou lonely farms and In Biuall villages grow morbid and mildly insane, and people do not guess that the cause Is want of companion ship. It Is for this reason that a worn nn'u work nt home Is always more try ing than that of her husband, who goes to his ollice, sees new faces and bas the friction tbat U produced by meeting other people. Even the farm er has more Intercourse with his neigh bor at market or at the village grocery than his wife, who may not see any one outside of her own family for weeks. It la n great mistake for young people to Isolate themselves. Even If their tastes lead them to a quiet life, they should make it a point to cultivate a few agreeable frleuds. Man Jolly Woman Serloaa. A woman, when the tirst exuberance st youth Is over, la apt to become dead ly serious, says an English exchange. She ceases to believe In tho fun In life, und loses all relibh for play. (A man remains at heart a big child and In consequence houestly enjoys the socie ty of children. A father Is refreshed by a romp with bis little ones, a moth er is usually tired by it She may be her boys' and girls' guardian angel, friend, comforter, but Is only rarelv their playmate. I think women lose much when they lose this capacity ror play. Without It, they ore unable to throw off the burden of their cares as a man docs and enjoy the good of the present moment, careless of the worries that are past or the worries that may be In the future. At to Ilnnd Shaking-. The old, old custom of shaking hands la used pretty generally these days, ex cept In very formal functions where there Is not time for details. It puts two people on a cordial foundation, aud you will seldom go wrong In always offering your hand. If you nre a host ess, you niikt Invariably rise when you greet your guests, but If a man Is brought up to you to be introduced, you need not rise. However, a man must always rise whcD being Introduced to a woman. Walking Oown, A handsome walking gown of dark gray cloth, trimmed with braid. Is sketched here. The front of the wulst and skirt nre In one piece nud tlu closlug Is under the first plait at the 6lde. The two straps at the nook are fastened with the buttons after the closing is made. The cuffs ou the ru dersleoves nud the turnover sections -n the lrrge sleeve are of velvet braiiid with aoutachc, which Is also used f form the buttons aud loops. The brti'A extends to the belt lu the back. Artiallu l.auiua. Many clover women Und most beauti ful lamps for their drawing rooms or dining rooms by buyhur a rasa of quaint design with n suitable recepta cle for oil and having a burner fitted to the top ot some lamp establishment In this way one can easily find pottery to harmonize with tho furnishings of the room and have a wider range of choice thnn by making a selection at the lamp shop. For dresses In lightweight materials the lining of the bodice should bo quite a small affair, extending back and front Just below the waist line. When a bodice Is made with this half lining the fullness of the waist line Is fastened Into a piece of regular waist bcitlng. Or, If the bodice Is quite thin material, It may fasten. Hke a shirt waist, with a tape sewed across the GOWNS FOB HOUSE back, leaving the front hanging quite straight and loose. In shortening or lengthening a sleeve pattern an equal amount must be taken out, or added, at each edge In order to preserve the shape of the pattern. If tho pattern is too long shorten It by laying a plait of even width across the pattern at tho elbow. Lengthen the s!eeve by cutting the pattern at tho elbow and separating the two pieces an even width at each edge, so as to give the desired length, says the Ladies' Homo Journal. To make the sleeve smaller at the band and elbow take up the outsldo seam of the sleeve. If walking dresses nre to be four laches from the ground, as the men la Mors Insist that they must be, ladles should really use them for walking. Anything adapted so nicely to service should not be made to do duty In heat ed shops alone, but should Inspire the wcater to long Jaunts In the country ways or through the length of quiet streets at any rate. Chlnta Much la Fa ror. Chintz Is very much used In the daintiest of bedrooms, and Is much to be preferred to cretonnes, which look quite common beside the more beauti ful material. The Americans do not know as well as the English how to wash chintz so that It will have the "calendered" look, but It retains Its shine for a long time. Colored Watsta In Voarue. Colored tailored shirt waists are shown for winter nnd early autumn wear, and It Is said that they ore sell ing so well that they are certain to be seen to the exclusion of other kinds of waists. With U'hlto collars nnd with stocks these waists nre very at tractive. Velvet Throat Hand. A little ornament is becoming quite universal among exclusive dressers, either with high or low nock, and with or without other necklaces or suutolrs. It Is a half-Inch baud of black velvet ribbon clasped lightly with Jewels about the throat, and studded with muny lit tle Jeweled slides. r.laatlo Uelta I'opnlar. The elastic belts studded with beads. Jewels or cut steed nre so satisfactory that undoubtedly they will remain, js they are now, lu the front rank of pop ularity. Individual Perfuniea. Tho woman who ues a scent nt all should aim to have it Individual ns well as elusive. Always choose the same perfume or sachet powder. The lest effect Is gained by keeping sachets of orris root among one's clothes. If the real Florentine orris Is bought II keeps Its strength ludclrnlrcly. If, however, n jK-rfutne U preferred, buy the very best you can afford, and then be downright stingy In the nse of It, Remember, a mere suspicion of violets or hellotroiie Is mysteriously fascinat ing; to reek of tlumi Is dcrMertly vub gar. .Ileadg-ear for ltoutth Sport a. The best head covering for rough sports Is unquestionably the knit Tarn-o'-Shanter, but for those who do not fancy this rough and ready Imadgear there nre smart little cloth enps of va rious shapes which ran be mnde of the same material as the suit and can be further smartened by a bright quill If this Is desired. There nre also the plain soft felt hats which arc bright and comfortable. lint Water tor Headache. When the head aches from vcrworh or worry, apply flannel wrong out of very hot water to the back af the neck and bathe the face and temples with warm water, and then lie tknra for a short time If possible. Take a 'ap After Pinner. Complete relaxation after eating a suspension of mental and fhyrtcal ac tivity will favor the processes of nat ural digestion, not only beenrtse of Ira tranquillizing effect upon the nerv? AND CARRIAGE WEAR. but because the stomach may nse the surplus unused energies of tbe body In the processes of digestion. Happy the man or woman -who can take an "uftcr-cllnner nap." It moans health, hopplness and long life. IHE . ABY WeiurbliiK the Dabjr, It-is well to weigh tho baby regular ly. In some cases tho weight is taken daily, but ouce a week U usunlly often enough. Nothing tells s accurately how he Is thriving. The best time to weigh him Is when ho lb undressed. Just before his bath. Tbe same scales should be ased each time, and these must bo accurate. The scoop kind are best for young Infants.
