Natalie Barton, the dreamy worship
of the beautifnl stirred in his soul,
and Gawky Garnett fell in love with
Natty. Natty laughed at him to his
face. It stung the boy's passionate
soul to the quick, but he said nothing
not a word.
II.
Six years later Natty Barton, twenty-three
year old, a beautiful, brilli
ant, witty young lady, much admired,
but still unmarried, and spoiled
great guns ! how she was spoiled
said to uncle James one day :
"Adorable uncle, let us go to Put-In-Bay
this summer. It's a new
place. The stuck-up snobs daren't go
near it, for fear it won't be fashion
able ; that's why I like it. It's the
only place in America where Iaha'n't
be ashamed of you for being an old
fogy. Aunt Ellen goes to Newport
with her sister. You and I can take
little Cousin Rose, and tramp to Put-in-Bay.
You can wear your poky old
Leghorn hat the summer long ; I'll
let you. And I won't tell Aunt El
len when yon go off on a little fishing
parties with the other young fellows.
Come, my precious ! Let us depart."
To Put-in-Bay they went, then a
new place, thoroughly unfashionable,
and consequently enjoyable. Natty
wore a calico dress all day long if she
wanted to, went to bed at ten o'clock,
and learned to row a boat equal to
Grace Darling or was it Ida Lewis,
or Dr. ATarv Walker? I don't know.
There are so many of 'em nowadays
that I get 'em mixed up.
About the same time a wise, gray
haired, rich old lawyer said to the
slim, dark-haired, brilliant, and poverty-stricken
young man he had just
taken into his office aa a working
partner:
"We'll go to. Put-in-Bay for a mon
th. I have a lot of titles to hunt up
out there all over the islands. You
can do the work, and I'll get the mon
ey. Start to-morrow."
"Thank you, Sir. Shall be only
too glad to go," answered the young
man, briskly.
"Yes, I should think you would,"
dryly remarked the old bachelor law
yer sotio voce, looking after the de
parting youth ; "and if ycu knew I
was planning this trip on purpose,
merely from a charitible wish to give
you a little rest, you'd eat your head
oflf before vou'd co. So dashed proud

don't you wish you could make him
fall in love with you now?"
"No, I don't," said Natty, coloring
angrily. The other young ladles
laughed.
"Mr. Garnett is thai his name?
He's a3 handsame as Edwin Booth,"
said Mary Walton. "I wish he'd
fall in love with me."
"But he won't" upspeaks little
Miss Rose, indignantly. "He doesn't
like any women but little girls."
The young ladies laughed again.
"Let's league together and break his
heart," said Vixie Gray.
"Do! Let's break it with a stone
hammer," said Vixie'3 sister, Alice.
But Natty said nothing. Little
Rose watched her pretty face careful
ly ; but for all she .could make of it,
it might have been the face of a gin
gerbread man. Natty's mind wasn't
as indifferent as her face, however.
She was making a mighty vow to
herself. She knew well enough who
the handsome young lawyer was, and
the old flirting demon stirred within
the same again cool, polished, Indif
ferent. "Tell Miss Eose I'll be down wait
ing for her and papa down at the
shore." He bowed lightly, and went
out.
Natalie glanced mechanically at the
place where the pencil had swept
across the page In Lucille. He had
marked these lines i
"O being of beanty and bliss! seen and
known
In the depths of my sdnl, and possessed
there alone !
My days know thee not; and'my llfps name
thea never;
Thy place in my poor life Is vacant forever.
We have met ; we have parted. No more Is
recorded
In my annals on. earth."
"I wonder what he means, or if he
means anything at all," said poor
Natty, soberly. But that night again
she was.once more the bright, merry
flirt, the gayest of the gay.
They had a "hop" at the little ho
tel. Hound and round 3pun the hap
py dancers, and Natty was the bright-
her breast. She was piqued to think Ht 5aues. of them all.

"No, I don't" said Natty, shutting
her lips with asnap, and looking vex
ed. But she said to herself, "We will
see!"
They had a yachting party next day.
Mr. Gamete went on the invitation of
Uncle Jam'es. Natty was as gay as a
bird, and as bright. She was danger
ously fascinating. She song, laughed
and made witty little small-talk for
the whole company. Any young
man but George Garnett, athirst with
his wild ambition, planning out a
magnificent future, brooding over his
yellow law-books, would have suc
cumbed at once to the wiles of this
girl with the gleaming sweet eyes
and the red lips.
"I see you haven't forgotten how to
flirt, Miss Natalie," Le said once to j
her, gayly. j

anything but dirt and beating in his
I childhood, I have a sort of impres- !
jsion that he wouldn't be the man
whom you'd be snubbing to-day.
You ought to be ashamed of your
self."
"Dirt and beating are not the most
favorable conditions for the develop
ment of the human intellect," said
Natty, with mock gravity.
"And his mother died when he was
a year old. He never had a mother,
you might say."
"Yes, Sir, it's very bud," replied the
young lady, drawing out her face
very long. "But I don't want to go
and be a mother to him, do I?"
Who was Gawky Garnett? An
awkward, ignorant boy, with an eag
er, imaginative soul, and a fiery, un
disciplined heart. He had been a
gaunt, ragged little bov. with wild
favor
and not a second coat to his back,
but with his unconquerable determin
ation strong aa ever. His ambition
seems to be eating him up alive. I
must manage to make him get some
new clothes somehow. I never saw
anybody, high or low, as devilish
proud as that fellow is. He won't
speak to his otd vagabond of a father.
It looks rough, but I can't blame
him."
At the little hotel at Put-in-Bay
(there wasn't any splendid Put-in-Bay
House In those days) one morn
ing Natalie Barton looked up from
her breakfast plate, and encountered
a pair of intensely brilliant black
eyes fixed keenly upon her lovely
face. The magnetic power of the
brilliant eves was so stranse and
strong that it made Natty look up.
But she looked instantly down into
her plate again, after the fashion of
all modest young ladies.
Rose, and irrepressible of twelve
years, nudged her arm.
"Nat! Nat! who is that black-eyed
man looking across this way ?"
"Oh, I don't know!" says Nat, gaz
ing intently into her plate. "I don't
see any body."
"Oh my! what a whop! What a
humbug it is to be a young lady! If
a young man looks at her she drops
her eyes right off, and pretends she
rioosn't see a living soul, and all the
time she's peeping at him sideways
out of her eyes as hard as she can,
and can tell exactly what he's got on.
I wonder what young ladies do that
for? I wonder if I'll do it too when
-I'm a young lady."
A few days later Nat Barton and
half a dozen other young ladies were
sitting in the warm July afternoon
on the long, low veranda of what in
but lie
did not dance. He looked silent and
melancholy, seeing which Natty be
came wilder than ever, and her little
feet flew round like mad.
At the close of the waltz she sat
down to breathe for a moment. Fate
led her to sit down beside a pillar
against which George Garnett leaned,
with folded arms, lost in thought.
But he saw her, and bowed and
smiled. Then he held out a card to
her. She took it, read upon it his
name, and,beneath the words, "Pour
prendre conge."
She looked up in quick alarm, as if
expecting to find him already gone.
But he approached as she raised her
eyes.
"Will you walk on the veranda a
little, Miss Natalie?"
She put her hand through his arm
without a word, and he led the way
out to the veranda.
"I am going away in the morning.
Miss Natty. Perhaps I shall not see
you soon again. So "
She caught her breath with a quick
sign, as if stricken with sudden pain.
Gorge Garnett reached out and took
in his own the little hand that rested
against his arm.
'lNtty, little .Natty;" he said soft
lv. ."iwlli you come with me for a
Barrell is down
will, or shall I let you break my
heart and torture me as you did six
yeara ago? No, by heavens.! you
shall not. What! Natty, little 2Tat
ty! are yon crying again? Oh, my
darling I what did you think I was
made of? I could not see your sweet,
false face every day, and look into
your bright eyes, and hear your voice,
and not love you again. You have
tried every sweet wicked wile in your
power and you know it to draw
me to you, only to cast me off and
laugh at me again. I love you so des
peretely that I could take you in my
arms this moment and leap over
board into the lake with you. I am
running away with you, Natalie."
The wind freshened, the lake be
came still rougher. Fas ter and fast
er flew the tiny sail boat. Natty,
thoroughly miserable, and now thor
oughly freightened, leaned her head
down upon her knees, and cried with
all her might. George Garnett began
to relent. He looked at the unhappy
girl beside him, and his lip quivered,
as always when a man's feeling were
strongly moved. He hesitated a mo
ment and called on the boatman.
"We can not go back," answered
the boatman. "We could't budge an
Inch in the face of this wind. If we
evever come out of this alive, we'll do
well. Blame me if I ever listen to a
fool again."
And now not only the girl, but also
her fiery-hearted, rash lover, and
even the vetran boatman began to be
seriously alarmed. It required all
the boatman's skill, assisted by the
now very penitent George Garnett, to
manage the boat. Natty lay down
in the bottom of the boat, and neither
spok'e nor looked up, she was so
freightened. At length the moon
went down, and it was terrible for a
little while, beating abont there in
the uncertain blackness. Nobody
spoke, only when the boatman gave
oders to George Garnett. The most
grievous troubles and the most peril
ous situations in this life are always
ended at last, however. Afterwhat
seemed to George Garnett an eternity,
the blackness began to brighten into
gray, and star after star blinked a lit
tle, and then suddenly 'popped out
of sight entirely. Off to their right
conld be dimly perceived something
which looked like the shadowy out
line of houses and schooners.

THE BOYS OF C02XPAXT "C."
By a. Heniber or the Company.
When Company "C" of the first
Nebraska Volunteers was organized,
there was quite a number of boys
joined it, among whom I will name
Tom and Wils Majors, Dave Smith,
ToranceCallen, Frank Hacker, E. K.
Caldwell, Frank Medley, Bruce Arn
old and Corwin Tipton. These boy
all proved to be heroes, and many a
deed of bravery was performed by
them in fighting and capturing their
enemies, and protecting and saving
their comrades.
They were a jolly set, and perfectly
reckless, so far as personal danger was
concerned. They went into battle
with a Shout and came out with a
laugh. Around the camp fires many
a joke was cracked at some mishap
that had occurred to some one or more
of their number. If volunteers were
wanted to perform a perilous service
they were sure to go. They carried
their lives in their hands, and.though
they risked their lives scores of times,
the most of them came out of the war
unhurt.
After the regiment was changed
from infantry to oavalry these boys
were generally, when on a march,
with the advance guard, and woe! to
the poor bushwhacker that fired on
them. Being well mounted, and be
ing reckless riders, they never stop
ped to count noses, but with a whoop
would dash at their foes, and gener-
reach Moore and have him form a
junction with Stevens, our heroes
started back and just at daylight ar
rived at the little village where V-'olf
was, and had to run the gao-ntiK -ot
his men, but a3 they were well moun
ted and lucky they- got away and r
joined their comrades.
Before the expedition reacned
Spring River Stevens divided it, U
ing the Missonrians one way, and or
dering Majors to take the Nebrasklar.c
another, so as to surround Freem w.
and gobble him and his men. Before
Majors got to his station there w.3
considerable firing heard, and shor.-v
after the firing ceased our boys ran -n
to five or six rebs, who fired and re
treated. Several of the boys foliniv
ed them, they scattered and esab 't
of our men picked his man and
lowed, trying to kill or capture h r-.
One or two were shot down. W-.
Majors captured his man before Lt
had proceeded far, and took him bak
but Callen followed a fellow that wa
pretty well mounted, and, though ro
galued on him, he emptied his revc!
ver before he overtook him, and wht-a
he did overtake him found that Uk;
were not more than 200 yards from s
large body of men, drawn up in bait;
array. As Callen rushed up to tLt
fellow he pushed the muzzle of bi
pistol against the rah's temple and er
dered him to surrender. Ab- the re"
felt the pistol he naturally threw bac'r
his head, which checked his horse
and Callen went ahead far enough t
turn the horse to the right. It ws
then an easy matter to make the fel
low take the baek track, and before
rhis comrades were aware of what had
taken place, the two men were on
gallop toward the Federal troops, and
a volley fired after them did no harm
"By George," said Callen, "I captur
ed that fellow in the presence of 200
men, and I had nothing but an emp
ty revolver," and showed that his re
volver was empty. Imagine ihac
reb's feeling3. The audacity of the
act paralyzed the main body of the
rebs for a few minutes, but, as while
this skirmish was taking place, the
surgeon of the 11th Missouri had
come to Majors and told him that Ste
vens and nearly all his men were cap
tured, it become necessary for the Ne
braskians to get away from there, and
seeing a number of rebs crossing s
mountain, evidently to cut off their
retreat, the Nebraskians struck off

her pretty, flattering ways, I know
better than to fancy she means any
thing more then to amuse herself."
"Oh!" says Natty, blushing ; you
are modest."
He sat beside her on the way home,
and was perfectly polite and enter
taining. Natty acknowledged to her
self that she had never seen a man
more delightful, or who carried about
him more perfectlv the air of a
grand gentleman. But for all the ef
fect her bewitching ways had on him,
he might have been a stone. He was
the model of gay indifference. Nat
alie bit her lips with vexation, when,
after they had all reached home, and
were rested, Mr. Garnett asked little
Rose to go out with him for a row on
the lake.
"He doesn't care for young ladies,
then not even the prettiest of them,"
said Natty to herself, looking at her
self in the glass. "I wonder where
the man got all those grand ways ?
He might be taken for a prince. And
it's clear that he'll never care for me
again."
Somehow Natty felt about half like
crying.
"I think Mr. Garnett is splendid,"
said the girls.
"How can you say so?" exclaimed
Natty. "I don't think so at all."
But next morhing, when Mr. Gar
nett asked the young ladles to play
ten-pins (it was before the days of
croquet), Natalie consented with alac
rity, and played again the role of the
bewitching flirt. Garnett, the mag-

He drew a little book from his pock

It was Lucille, then new.
"Have you read this yet, Miss Nat

"No," says Natty.
"Then I'll leave it to amuse you. I
don't care for it much ; but it's the
sort of a book I should Imagine a
young lady would like all abaut love
and flirting, you know. I've not fin

He took his pencil and gave a sweep
across some lines a little below the
middle of a page, then handed the
book to Natty, looking at her as he
spoke. A sweet, strange look soften
ed his dark eyes for an Instant, it

"Yes, I must go away in the morn
ing ; I have had a letter from home,"
emphasizing the one word scornfully.
"My father is on his death bed. Miss
Barton, you know who and what my
father is?"
"Yes," said Natty, faintly, "I do,"
with a soft, gentle sound in her voice
as though she meant, "Yes, dearest,
I know ; but that is nothing."
"I have not spoken to my father
for four years," said Garnett. "Per
haps I did wrong; I don't know. I
thought he had disgraced me and the
memory of my mother so. But I
must go to him now, for he is dying.
A distant relative of my father is
with him. This cousin is an old man
and wealthy. He it is who writes the
letter. He says I am the only relative
he has left in this country, except his
daughter, a girl of eighteen. I have
never seen her, but I have heard that
she is beautiful, and as good as an an
gel. My father's cousin writes that if
his daughter and myself should be
mutually pleased with each other,
pleased enough to to marry each
other, that he will be glad to see usso
disposed of, and in that case my for
tune will be made. He is kind en
ough to sny that he knows of nobody
to whom he would more gladly trust
his young daughter's happiness than
to me. So to-morrow I must leave
these pleasant islands, -and go to the
fair young cousin whom I have not
seen. I hope you will find the rest of
the summer delightful, Miss Natalie."
Natty burried her face in her hands.
George Garnett bent over her, and
drew the hands away from her .face.
Natty was crying.
He looked at her a moment, and his
own face looked pale in the moon
light. He moved away and said a
few rappid words to the boatman, in
a low tone. Then he came hack and
sat down beside Natty in silence. He
took one of Natty's hands, and held it
tiglit'in his own, but said not a word.
On, they sped through the moon-lit
water. It was rougher now, and the
xrnvos wera rolling hizher. Alter a
while Natty looked up. The boat
had changed its direction, and they
wore out of steht of the island, the
b3y ous of sight of evry thing, it
seemed to the girl. She would have
sprung up bat George Garnett threw f
his ams about her, and held her down
beside him. She fairly screamed
with surprise and half fear.
"Where are we going?" she ex
claimed, wildly.
"To Sandusky," answered George
Garnett, despartely.
Then Natty tried to scream in earn
est, bat the sound died away on her
lips.
"Yes, to Sandusky," he repeated,
in a voice which sounded almost sav
age. "Girl! did yoa think I wa3 a

I was crazy I loved you so.
"But I love you too," said Natty.
In half an hour more they were
walking up the venerable Sandsky
ofjfeaEi Mils 2TaTaf Ksome half-mile ahead of the main
warf together.
"What was the use," said Natty,
"of bringing me across the lake and
nearly drowning me to tell that you
loved me when you could have done
it so much more comfortably in the
parlor at home?"
The steamer from. Sandusky that
morning carried to Put-in-Bay a
very meek and subdued young lady
and gentleman, looking something
as you have seen two runaway hors
es look that have been ducked In the
river. She was covered with an im
mense brand-new linen duster,
which, for material and make-up,
was most bizarre. It is not necessary
to say that the tremendous linen dus
ter covered a ball dress. The two
people had not much to say for them
selves. George Garnett's father rallied suf
ficiently to be present, elothed in his
right mind and in decent garments,
three months after that, at a wedding,
where, with the approval of all their
friends, George and Natty were uni
ted in holy matrimony, in the ortho
dox fashion, except that Natty did
not promise to obey. They lived hap
py ever after, xiut they never say
much about how two lunatics made
the trip from Put-in-Bay to Sandusky
one night in a little sail-boat.
PROBABILITIES.
When you see a man going home at
two o'clock in the morning, and you
know his wife is waititg for him, it is
likely to be stormy.
When a man receives a bill for
goods his wire has bought unknown
him, look out for thunder and
a
to
lightning.
When a man goes home and finds
no supper ready, the fire oat, and his
wife visiting the saloons "with the
rest of the boys," it Is likely to be
cloudy.
When a man promises to take his
wife to a party, and changes his mind
after she la dressed, you may look out
for a heavy shower.
When a man saves his cigar money
to buy his wife a new bonne and the
children new shoes, it indicates a
spell of sunshine.
When a men dies and leaves a nice
young widow with plenty of money,
and you see her walking out with the
executor on Sunday afternoon, a
change is imminent.

column ; when, seeing a farm house
and several men on the perch, they
raised their accustomed shout and
went for them. In going to the house
they had to pass a stable yard, and
along the fence was a growth of bash
es, which prevented them from see
ing what was in the yard until they
got opposite to it. Imagine their sur
prise to find 25 or 30 rebs in the yard
in the act of mounting their horses,
while a fellow was letting down the
fence in order -that the rebs could get
out. The boys didn't care about go

pressing business baek at the main
column, and whirling their horses re

after them for some distance, firing as
they charged, but all the boys, except
Frank Hacker, got off unhurt: poor

There was a noted rebel chieftain
in northern Arkansas, named Free
man, and daring the winter of 1S63-4
several expeditions were sent out to
capture or disperse Freeman and his
band. Sometimes our men hunted
Freeman, and sometimes he hunted
us. It was like the Frenchman's ti
gerhunt. He said "hunting zetigaire
is very fun nee while you are hunting
him, but, by gare, ven ze tigaire hunt
you, ze fan ain't dere." That was
the experience our boys had hunting
Freeman.
At one time Freeman sent a Qas; of
truce to Batesville, by one Captain
Wolf, to see about an exchange of
prisoners, and at the same time Col.
Livingston was preparing an expedi
tion to capture Freeman. Shortly af
ter Wolf started on his return this ex
pedition, consisting of nearly 200 of
the 11th Missouri, and nearly 100 Ne
braskans, under thecommand of Capt.
1 Tom Majors, and the expedition un
der the command of Lt. Col. Stevens,
of the 11th Missouri, siarted also. Lt.
Moore, of Co. H, was on a scout some
fifty miles distant en Black river.
Col. Stevens was anxious to have
Moore form a junction with his com
mand, and wanted Wife Majors to

the people were rough. There were
mountains to climb and rivers to ford

but the cold muzzle of a revolver at
his ear, with the intimation that if
he wanted to live untill sundown he
must find both, qciekened his mem
ory and he piloted the boys qut of
that trap. At daylight the next
morning the Nebraskians rode into
Batesville, but Freeraan was still

As Wils Majors and Callen had
been in the saddle the most of tha
time for forty hours, and had rode a
long way over a hundred miles, and
had each captured a man with hte

A Rich Beggar Exposed
An old man, poorly dressed, who
limped into a liquor saloon in. Detroit
and begged for money, was quickly
exposed.
The Free Prest says that he began
by asserting that he lived at a certain
number on Seventh street, and that
his wife was very III and be too old
and lame to work. In the saloon was"
a man living at the very number giv
en on Seventh street, and he branded
the old man as a liar. The old man
then said it was Seventeenth street,
but he was so confused that the half
dozen men present determined to see
how he was made up. He shouted
' police" as they approaehed him, but
the men locked the door and hrew,
hira down. His green glasses aosered
as good a pair of eyes as were in the
room, and no cause for his limping
could be found. He had his left hand
tied up, but they jerked the rags ofi?
and found no hurt or wound. Last'y
they flashed out of his pockets $33.45
in small money as he had begged it,
and discovered that he had a bank
book on a Chicago savings bank, with
$450.50 credited to him. He made a
great fuss as they went on to expose
him, and finally promised that he
would leave Detroit by the Pacific ex
press and never return aain. He
claimed to have bearee most of the
money in Toledo. One of the men
