tho tnrnplko among tho rich farms of Ornngo
county, Borgt. Everett Andro. of tho
Twcntloth, was statloued with a guard at tho
entraneo to a farm Imio common in tho
south loading from tho road to tho house.
Around tho farm thoro wcro signs of llfo, a
thing unusunl In Virginia whenever tho
Union army passed by When tho sergeant
and his tnon took tho KMt thoy saw a youn
woman sitting under a tree near tho road,
and two children playing near. To thoso

ever their thought, thoy lookod on in silence,
Tho general nad given Andros' guard or

Tho tedious tramp of tho army went on fcr
hours, and somotimcti tho soldiers, chafing a

"Ilumphl You're afraid we'll takosomr

Another would add t "Serves 'cm right if wo
do." nut tho guards would motion them
sternly to movo on. Sometimes theso rougt
words, though aimed at tho guards, were
meant for tho young woman, and throug
her tho pooplo of her class. Uut tho keenest
sallies ponied unhcodod by tho ono w boas'
watching as tho hours dragged seemed to bo
a weary vlgll, for curiosity must tiro out aj

some special attraction for bcrf
At last tho sergeant, through pity for the
defenseless maiden and her wards, and to
sporo tho temper of bis men, walked along
tho road opposite tho watcher, touched hut
cap In salute, and snldt
"Pardon mo, miss, but I think you ougtrt
to leave this spot. You aro exposed hero."
Agentlo lifting of tho eyes was tho only
sign that the words woro beard. Another1
ally from somo soldier whom tho guard put:
way with force gavo point to tho warning
and Andros repeated it In tho samo friendly
tone, adding! "You will bo called a a
robel, and, perhaps, a spy." Still no answer,
other than a nervous turning of tho faco to
ward tho speaker and a quick withdrawal,
for her eyes at tho instant bad boon Axco
sharply upon tho ranks In the road.. The reg
iment passing was the Pennsylvania. The
men rolled and Jostled along, giving vent
la sallies of repartee, or song, or complaints
at tho day's long march. Dut there was one
of tho number who did not Join In tho rail
lery or tbo complaints. Could ho have been
sen before tho column reached this point
marked changes would have been noted In
bis actions. Now, his eyes would roam over
the country, and again rest In tbo thick
dusty woof under foot. When his rank camo
nbrcont of tho lano, this soldier, a privnto In
tho line, held his head bent Uko tho woarioet
of his fellows, but at tho moment tho guard
was wrangling with somo burly rufllan, who
struggled to got In at tho gateway, und when
tho ulleut marcher looked up oil tho outcry,
bis eye mot thoso of the young woman, lloth
blushed, and ho turnod and hurried on.
Quickly now tbo other called tho children
to her and led thorn to tho house. Andros
suppoMil tho last scene between the guard
and the would bo forager bad shown the
ktulilxim miss that the roadside was no place

All that happcued here was umuual.
Whero tho army marched or camped tho cit
izen asked the commander for bouso guard.,
or one wai sent unasked. Out this young
woman, relying, It seemed, on her own pres
ence by the road, had not anked for protec
tion, and hor conduct had left no room for
suspicion that she might be friendly with tho
enemy Secexslon women luvarlably stuyed
Indoors whon bluecoau were about.
Twilight camo on, the army continued Its
truuii. The guards began to wonder if thoy
wcro to Ik kept at this station all night, when
tho thullllng, Gambling form of a negro waa
socn In the Lane. Now for news, thought tho
guard, for tho negroes were the unfailing
source of local knowledge, and It was of teu
good news to tho soldiers to know what river
oi road their camp was on, or even tho names
of farmers and planters round about. When
tho negro neared tho gato ho stopped, cap In
hand, and eyed tho soldier pacing with bis
gun. I ho sergeant called htm to come on,
but ho stood In his tracks and stammered tho
words, " Y-y-ouug nil sunt mo I" Tho guard
halted. Andros drew noar, "Young miss'

sharply
"My mars, sah I Olo mars' dead, salt.

Andros knew that hocoutd not get full de
tails from n negro at once, nnd a thcro were
no whlto men on tho placo ho shouldered Ids
musket nnd went to extend his acquaintance
nt Kllwood farm.
"Olo Mlw," ho learned on tho way, was

tho first master, CnpU Boytou, wn now in
that nrtny, nnd still another sou, owner, as
laws had said, of Patrick Henry nnd ono or

tho negroes), was an Kllwood, having been n

Tho lano 0K-ued Into n wide lawn, with n
garden nnd ynrd nnd n path ran from tho
track to a sldo door. As ho uutod tho front
of tho houso an old stylo, cross shaped man
sion Andros saw that rough bars wcro nailed
over doors nnd windows, giving n very de
serted look. Tho back part was open nnd tho
negro went to tho doorway of a room between
tho parlor and kitchen. Now tho heroine of
tho occasion stepped out on tho porch, nnd
by n slmplo nod and gosturo, showed tho sol
dier a sent by tho door Andros saluting,
said, "No, iiiIm, I nm on duty, How can 1
servo youT Mo spoko with studied coldness.
Without confusion or chnngo of color, tho
other said, "You aro certainly welcome. 1
sent to you bocnuso 1 wish to know if thcro
must lo n guard hero nt tho tanof"
"N no, mn'pjn, no must about It unless
you wish. May 1 ask why!" 8ho thought a
moment and finally saldt "Thcro Is no objec
tion to n guard, yot It might bo unpleasant."
Tho speaker was a typo of fair haired, can
did womanhood, a winner of notice rather
by her mannor than by physical beauty, with
which, however, sho was richly ondoweiL
Sho was earnest, and inclined now to bo con
fidential, and continued i "I regret you can
not rest yourself hero (motioning to the broad
scot), you soldiers soom to bo always in mo
tion, nnd I hnvo something to tell you."
There wero no whlto pooplo in sight except
ing tho frngllo young woman, but front win
dows nnd doors nnd tho corners of houxurnud
shedx, tho hhlnlng faces of tho slave vcrcd
out rurluiiftly. Andros was assured by thl
that no enemies lurked nt hand or tho ne
groes would bo In hiding. Ho sat down nnd
Miss Kllwood draw n chair In front n.
though to Hcrccn him from prying eye, nnd
said "I beg a favor, nnd that of you ron
ally It I too trifling, too selfish a matter to
tnko to your generals, busy with other cm en''
Such frankness was Itxelf winning, mid An
dros answered! "I shall servo you If I can
and do my duty."
"You enn lx truo to duty," sho sold. "1

whom 1 wish to have como hero, to-nlgbt, If
posslblo, or tho next night, nnd, it inny bo.
afterward."
Andrtn arose, nervously, but tho other, not
noticing his mood, continued! "Thcro is a
family secret nt tho bottom of this and I can
go no farther now; but 1 can summon him
through our pooplo, if you will direct them
to his camp, aud let him como nnd go yes,
you shall como with him If that will answer
duty better."
ifo was all soldier now, and searching the
faco beforo him, said, brusquely, "In what
regiment does your friend servo I"
"Tho Pennsylvania."
"I'll keep your secret, and If I can that Is,
If my men stay on at tho road, I will lot you
moot at least on my post, but I promiso noth
ing beyond that."
With a touch of his cap ho drew his gun to
his shoulder and hurried to his post, Whon
it was fully dark tho old negro camo sham
bling along again, a negro lad holding n lan
tern In front of him. Andros directed them
to tho camp of tho Pennsylvania, and
then repeated tho orders to his men to nllow
no ono to pass between tho houso and tho
army linos. Thcro was danger In Andros'
courso, for bo had fairly taken It on himself
to guard tho farm from rascally camp prowl
ers, and also taken risks on tho oxposuro if
army secrets by allowing Intercourse of el'i
tons with soldiers. Dut ho bellovod that tho
woman was truo and that harsh rules might
bo ovaded in rnro cases.
Somo timo after tbo camps had become
quiet, tho negro and tbo boy camo acroU loU
beyond tho road, aud halted at tho gato for a
sign to enter. Andros was bailed and ho
opened tho gate, aud the old man passed on
as silent as a funeral mourner. A cunning
negro knows bow to bo mum when some
thing dear to him Is afoot. Beforo midnight
tbo sergeant, armed, and a stranger in uni
form, but without a gun, stood at tho door of
Ellwood houso. Tbo stranger tapped softly
and when tho door opened ho stepped In, guid
ing tho other by a touch on tho arm. There
was a second door lending to an Inner room,
and from there an elderly lady camo out to
meet tho callers. Miss Ellwood brought tho
stranger forward and ho was greotod with
affection and a carcea. Tho young woman
took his hand, their eyes mot, nnd Andros
said to utmfcelft "Thoy aro lovers."

MISS KLLWOOD 0IIKW A CIlAm IN FRONT.
Tho sergeant wnnowprcsontcd by the other
soldier a "a friend," and then Miss Ellwood
dropped n low liow and said, laughing! "Now
it Is my turn, my mother nnd my cousin Ed
wnnl" The snuio spell, tbo frankness and tho un
usual geniality of thoso Virginia ooplo, told
out he sergeant agalu aud reassured ulm. "Ed
ward" boro himself with reserve, mingled
with tenderness The children who had been
by tbo roadkido that day came up and greet'
ed tho uew coiner xhyly nnd some hat cold
ly, calling him "Uncle." The mystery in
tbeto strongo relationships would hnvo puz
tlcxl Audros not ii little bad he tried to un
ravel It, Excusing himself, ho said to liU
companion, "I'll take post ouUlde until you
aro ready " The visit lasted nn hour or nioni,
When Misa Ellwood camo to the door with
her visitor Andros said "I'll keep my pledge
as far a I can Our army U muving Its
Hue back and this hour will tie ouuldw of
the pickets. Mow farouttlde I do uut know
May bo the euerav will bold thU crouud and

then my power will end." "Edwnrd" was
silent Miss Ellwood said promptly, nnd
with spirit, "I can answer that tho southern
soldiers will not como nearer than at present
nnd wo shall bo outsldo tho line, unless your
nrtny circles us In."
Ileforo thoy rcnchoJ Andros' guard post,
now tho outer Union picket, "Edward" said to
tho othen "Comrndo, our trndo Is soldiering,
and wo hnvo no business with feelings that
clash with duty Out thcro Is a secret here
wo must beg of you to respect aud 1 pledgo
my faith you shall not Iks hnrmed by what
you do."
With n tryst for tho next night thoy sep
arated. Tho armies settled In winter quarters, tho
Kllwood placo between tho cnniis nnd in
sight of both. Andros (mil icriodlcnl tours
of duty on the outposts, nnd young Boytou
for such hu was in reality found n ready
ally to pas him through tho pickets by night
nnd to guard him on hi risky errand.
Whothcr that errand was ono of lovo only
or with somo dever drnmntlo interest, tho
obliging ally could not guess. Mo shared In
many of tho comforts of tho family clrclo,
and a still strongor charm for n soldier exiled
from nil social pleasures was tho meetings
with tho genial southron who did tho honors
of boston.
Mis Ellwood nnd Boytou both assumed,
outwardly, that tho latter held tho relation
of suitor, but nt times tho interest of tho lady
In tho chivalrous sergeant led him to hope
that ho, too, had fnvor in her eyes. How-
over, accident had brought him on thosccno a
tho friend of n comrndo who had prior claims,
and ho was content with tho part ho had
taken. At such times tho next best thing to
being tho hero of a romauco is to stand by
somo good fellow who is ttio hero. Tho mys
tery In It all, too, piqued tho sergeant's fan
cy; tho half shut bouso; tho long confer
ences between tho old lady and tho Pennsyl
vania lover or cousin, or whatever ho wn
In tho Inner room, whllo Miss Ellwood kept
away dullness by sprightly talk In tho recep
tion room. Occasionally Andros would think
that nfl action was ripening In splto of all,
but at tho hour of parting Boyton's band was
pressed last nnd held longext, nnd glances of
Intense though rather snd expressiveness
passed between tho supMsed sweethearts.
At length thero cumo a break In theso
visits. "EdvMird" was ft'.rloughed from his
company nnd went north. On his return
somo weeks later tho ttticll that had saddened
him before had vanished. Ho spoko no long
er of mystery, nnd was oven careless nliout
privacy when hu resumed tho visits beyond
tho outiosU, though for form's sako things
went on In secret. Miss Kllwood was also
changed. Her manner toward both holdler
comrades was iiiohI cordial nml nt time sho
was ipilto gay Audros wo charmed and
moro than over Inclined to Hatter "Edwnrd"
on his success in wooing outxldo tho lines.
Late ono night Audros, who was in charge
of a picket guard, was ordered to extend his
pickets before daylight to a bluff somo rods
beyond tho houso. After It was dono and
day was dawning ho returned to tho housov
now In tho lines, to tell tbo occupants of tho
chnngo In ordors. Tho faithful Patrick
Henry had been doing night sentinel duty,
too, nnd ho wns nbroad and hailed tho ser
geant nt tho farm yard gato.
"Mawnln, sail!" ho said, saluting.
"Good morning," said tho other, quickly
"I wish to soo Miss Ellwood, or"
"'Scum mo, sah, doy's all dono gotiol"
"AIM"
"Evvy sluglo ono, suabl"
"Why how comes thatP'sald tho other,
alarmed.
"D dunno, sah, 'ceptlu' do LzxrA dono tuk
'em.''
It was now broad day and a turn of the
eyes showed tho puzzled soldier that tho Con
federate camps that had stood out boldly In
sight across tho fields wero gono too. Tho
negro's oyos followed tho sergeant's.
"Ahl somo other pooplo uro nway, I see,"
Andros colored with nuger. Turning upon
tho old negro ho muttered bitterly, "I sup
poso tho Lord took thorn, too, eh I" nnd strodo
on to tho line. As soon as ho was relieved
from 'picket watch, Andros hastened to the
camp of tho Pennsylvania In no hnppy
f ramo of mind Soy ton greeted him cordially
and mot liim by saying ntonco, "I hnvo an ex
planation tO tllUhO,"
"Weill I think so, now"
"I mx) you arc excited and 1 suppose somo
strango thing has happened. 1 knew It was
to como, but it ts all right, as I told you it
would bo. Thcro has been no treachery and
no harm dona"
"Dut what nro yon to those persons!"
"Drother nnd son I"
"Scoundrel I I ought to run you through I
At any rate I'll havo you arrested as a spy."
"Klrst hear my story. 1 was born In that
house, a slavo holder's son. My brother,
Heery Key ton, was n wild fellow, but gener
ous, uuhlo nnd true. Father died and Henry
tiec.ime hall fellow with tho popular set of
the county, greatly to the recret of my nto
ther. My stepfather, CoL Ellwood, who wns
also foster uncla.wa a gcnulno southerner,
conservative snd -0 In purpose I wont
north to school, euiixu 18(11, on reaching ago,
I sent a writ of mniwlsslon to tho slaves 1

hands left tfw pVuw, I did not wrlto to tho
folks after tho (rnr began, oxcept to say that
I had cuIUted for tho Union nnd to warn
them not to know mo in caso f ortuno took mo
to thoso parts, aa something might arlso to
question tho loyalty of ono born a Virginian.
From Confedcrnto prisoners I mot I learned
that Col. Kllwood had fallen in tho war and
Menry wns captain In tho First Virginia, a
regiment raised In our county nnd filled with
his boon companions. This Is all I heard
uutll tho army camo hero, os you know,
Whon I uearod tho place marching that first
day, my heart wns full and it was as much as
I could do to keep from rushing out to greet
Eva at tho roadside for my sister was my
favorite pet In tho old days.
,v
"DUNNO, 8AIII"
"When I went with you that night, as soon
as tho groetliiK wuroowr, I learned that a
third princljtal wu in thu house Capt. Boy.
ton, First Virginia living In hiding under
barred door. He wns a fugitlvo from death
sentence by law of wur foriicruno against
my own government."
"And you dared Involve mol"
"Waitl 1 bee. Mv brother would never
is
shirk an honest doom, uo was innocent ana
'I havo proved It."
"Dnt whero Is ho now, nnd thoy, tho fanv
Hyf" At tho last word Andros sorteued. Ho
could not think harshly of Eva, and it flashed
upon him that for all love goes whero 'tis sent,
and her feelings may havo been for lilni whnt
sometimes thoy seemed to bo, lender as well
as friendly "Mother nnd Evn and all aro
away to tho north, and my brother has re
joined his nrtny, under Ice, spared from the
fnto that hung over him.
"It wns tlilsi You remember how, last
spring, a party of Confederates dashed lutoour
camps near Alexandria at night and seized
somo ofllcers. Afterward our men overtook
tho nssnllnutK, (hiding two of their captured
comradesdead and threo missing, supposed to
hnvo been foully murdered. My brother led
that night nttnek, a fair act of war, and ho
waff put In a Union prison as hostago for tho
return of thu missing men, nnd was charged
with tho murder of all."
Andros was in n shiver, thinking that ho
was surely Implicated In a most detestable
crimo. Boytou continued!
"Out my brother, on his port, had simply
taken his prisoners unharmed toward his own
linos a long rldo off and on tho way had
been overpowered by a band of artlHftn
rangers, notorious outlaws from tho moun
tains. These men, always scenting plundor
nnd living by robbery and reprisal, Insisted
upen sirippmc tuo liclnicss prisoners and
holding them a hostages to buy tho rcleaso
of somo of their own crow who woro lying in
Union prisons for crimes. My brothor and
his followers resisted thlsoutrngo In vain. In
tho tnelco two Union prisoners had been killed
and tho others taken away to tho haunts of
tho rangers, my brothor and somo others be
ing finally overhauled by Union troops In
pursuit. War is stern. Ho was sentenced to
death, and tho verdict was sanctioned by his
own government, which repudiated tho mur
der of captives In wnr. "It is not admlsslblo
In civilized wnrfaro to toko llfo with no other
object than tho destruction of life," Decision
of G. W Randolph, Confederate secretary of
war.
"All his proof was in tbo hnnds of his ene
mies, tho outlaws, and they wcro In disgrace
with both governments, and to screen their
own climes would, If appealed to," swear
away an honest soldier's life, Dy a dosperato
flight he escaped, swam over tho broad Poto
tunr ".tid wns Intouillng to reach tho moun
tains l.i dlsgulxu and somehow produce the
living witnesses of bU Innoconco. I'.o reached
horn- mi I win hemmed In Just as our army
tnd his own como to tho neighborhood. If
lolzed by us ho would hong; If by bis own
people ho would bo returned to a Federal
prison, because, on his escape, tbo son of a
Confedcrnto loader had been sentenced as a
hostago to dlo in his stead on tho appointed
day. Tho only hopo was In n friend who, hav
ing nld from our government, would bo pro
tected In a visit to tho mountains. Onco
thcro, by forco cr parloy ho might get tho
missing men. This I did whllo on my fur
tough. That leave of absence, comrado, was
granted 'becauso of long and faithful ser
vices.' Thus armed I went to Washington,
scoured aid, entered tho Dluo Rldgo fast
nesses ami released tho mou, who confirmed
all Tholr dead comrades fell In a common
fight against tho outlaws, and my brother
bad fought to savo hfs prisoners. Proofs woro
cent to tho enemy's camp, mid on my lost visit
homo I handed my brother bis pardon and
papers of honorablo exchango, which mado
blm free and honest."
"I soo how It all could bo," said Andros,
thoughtfully. "But why decelvo mo und put
mo In such risk!"
"Would you bavo trusted mo had you
known how I was related outsldo tbo linos!"
"No, I would not."
"Then all would havo been lost. Tho day of
execution was near. A roprlovo bad spared
tho llfo of tho Innocent hostago standing for
tho principal, nnd had ho been found by
either army ho would havo found no mercy."
Tho story ended, Seyton smiled and said,
"Dut, comrado and friend, I have hero a word
from ono who can add to tho thanks I owo
you."
With this ho gavo a uoto to Andros, who
opened nnd read: "Miss Eva Ellwood begs
that Sergt. Andros will glvo her an oppor
tunity to npologlzo In person for tho breach
of faith practiced outsldo tho lines. Her
homo In futuro will bo her brother's, at
1'a."
Tho old negro, Patrick Hcury, followed tho
Union camps to bo iicur his "master," us ho
persisted in calling Edward Seyton pro
moted captain In bis own regiment. At tho

OF SOUTHERN ORIGIN.
Chnuucey I)cpw' Eloquent Bkelcli, Dec
oration Diiy, 1H70.
When tho wnr waa over, in tho south,
whero, under warmer skies and with moro
pootic temperament, symbols nnd emblems
aro better uudeitood than In tho practical
north', tho widows, mothers aud children of
tho Coufedornto dead went out nnd strewed
their graves with flowers, nnd ntmany places
tho women scattered them luiurtinlly nlso
over tho unknown and unmarked resting
places of tho Union soldiers. As tho mows of
this touching tribute flushed over tho north
it roused, as nothing clso could havo dono,
national amity and lovo and allayed sectional
animosity and passion, it thrilled every
household whero thcro was a vacant chair by
tho fireside, and m. aching void In tho heart
for a lost hero whoso remains had nover been
found, old wounds broke out afresh, and In a
mingled tempest of grief and Joy tho family
cried, "Muy Ik It was our darling." Thus
out of sorrows common nllko to tho uorth
and south camo this beautiful custom. Out
Decoration day uo longer belongs to those,
who mourn. It Is tho common privilege of
us all, and will Ik celebrated as long as grat
itude exists und flowers bloom.
