OMAHA , NEB in that INCIDENT OP THE OML WAR , It was n hot clay in June , 1802 , when wo marched ftom Kiimi to the Hatchic , a way down in About noon Gen. A nnd hi * Mali. on which I wns serving ns aid-do camp , stopped fur oimiur at one of thoio fine old plncoa whoto oiv nor evidently bo- .0 the \vi'althy class in that country. Tito housu stood sotnsclhtaucd back from the road in n beautiful grove of line olJ ln.03. Our request for dinner was politely complied with by the lady of the houec < , Mrs. Williams , a atatcly , quiet woman , who perftriuod the duties of hostess without cordiality , and yet with perfect ease and dignity. She wai dressed in ninuimtii , ' , having late ly lost a liu'lnnd ntul ton in ono of the battles in Virginia. When 1 lonrnoV thcao facts , I regrntted that wo hai stopped at her hniiso oven temporarily Dr. Dingham and t attayod into the pnrlor ; soring 1 inno open , I cou not riMBt pl.iying an old tuno. Tht music reminded mo of the homo fur away of the dear mother , who wa waiting an the poor mother in the nea room had waited , and who perhaps would have to bear u similar oxpur iciico of sorrow. Soon a young lady cnmo inlio it- turned our loepootful Biilniation will : a cold pnlituncss and hautmeax wind amuacd me. The doctor lingivjoil her in a convuraation. Slio was a bright , cood-lookini ; bruuetto , laukiug in cul turc , impulsive and outspoken in her viuws of the righteousness of the Southern causo. I fancied she wai a little disap pointed in the appearance and in in tiers of our ollicurs. Stories of the cruulty and brutality of federal soldiers diors were rife in that southurn coun try. Mnny a soufiuin lady did not believe a federal ollicor could bo a gun tlcm.ui. Miss Jv to Williams had at opportunity of milking the acquaint mice of ono of nature a nobleiimn us ahe chatted with my friund , Dr , IJingham. I softly played and sang to myself "Old America , " when tin doctor insisted upon a aonij from MIDI ICuto. She gave ua "tho llonnii Blue Flag , " with wonderful spirit , returned the compliment with "lUlly Hound the Flag. " She aii "Dixie1" and wo joined in the chorun. Tin attracted the attention of the genera , and the rest of the staff , when alii suddenly ceased playing. TJio general , n gallant gentleman o the old school , was particuliulj attracted by the bright , impulsiv < girl. She told him aha had a brotho in the confederate sorviro somowhou ! in the south , and another vuia manag ing the plantation , but wan I hoi absent. Her clcfunt mituior showed thai our presence was diotasteful , and was simply endured because unavoidably Unused to self-control she could no conceal her annoyance , while her mother performed her duties as host oes to her ononuett , never foi getting her position us a lady und mistress o the house. Ic waa a hot day , and the command halted ttvo houra in the woods near by. The doctor and weio single men , young enough to bo attracted by u mveet fuco , and hen waa beauty in diajref-s. My ad mini tion was rather cooled by the young lady's miinner : but the doctor an easy good naturcd fellow , waa charmed and evidently enjoyed the lively ex hibition of mbel spirit. In the midst of our chat and laugh ing , Miss Kato looked out of the win dow ; rising hastily she left the roon and ran do < KH the walk to the fton gate.Two Two of our boya were bringing i man in under guard. Mt83 Kilo clung to his arm in fright. As they brought the prisoner in , fiho appealed to Gen. A in the most despairing manner not to kill her brother. A iew momenta had produced : i wonder ful change , the bitter , defiant ntylo had changed to huinblo supplication , which uecmed to mo quite irresistible. 13cr mother entered the room at thia moment and became very much agitated. Cjlasping horhands in great distress , she said : "Oh , ia there no end to my sotrow ? My son , must you too bo taken ? How con I boar this ! ' " The general hastened to day , "Madam , it is likely there ia Homo mistake. Our men frequently cap ture citizens on suspicion.1 The sergeant stated that this man waa found at a neighboring houae. IIo said he was a citizen , but the men in couldn't toll they just obeyed ordure. The young man waa a line speci men of the Boutheru aristocracy ; ho scorned perfectly at ease. He said of nothing , at first. But when the gen eral told hia mother that our moil frequently arrcated citizens by mis take , I noticed u iivvift glance of in telligence paea between mother and son , which Miss Katie watched eagerly. Tie answered the questions the general in a straightforward manner , milking u very favorable im pression by hia dcferenco and respect * ful bearing. This touched the goii- end's weak point , After a brief con versation , ho was satiaiicd , nnd gave orders for the young man'u rolcaae. Ho Boomed vary thankful Mother nnd sister joined in hii thanks , and on during the remainder of our atay tvo were treated with great kindness , I never mot a young fellow who attracted me BO much in ouch a short time. I told him that I wondered of that ho wai not in the confederate aorvico. Ho enid hia mother and Kato had to ba looked after ; some one to had to tend to the plantation , for the darkies were all running away since federal army came , While hia the sympathies were with the aouth , yet to family had sent the father and ed tire sons , and that was enough. On leaving , I invited him to corao ECO mo at t y father's house in the Ohio , when the war was ended , llo laughingly replied that ho hoped to fico noon again ; that ho never should forget the favor of his releasa. an I fancied the doctor regretted to anmi leave. As wo rode nway the general dh joked him a good deal on his case of coi love at sight , and I hot the doctor u PU buttle of sutler wine that I would coo soon Miss Kate fhat again , wo Soon other thoughts filled our mind Dr. we rode on to the Hatches , where with were to go into cimji for the It night. It was in thu fall of this aamo year wo had the big light with Price the Hatches bottom * . An army I ho could pans through them and not know of an enemy's force , which might bo within a hundred j.mls of therind. How dense and dark they were ! fit f T cnenllas nnd homo guards , wlii l , . , ! ivorfootpath and bj roil . U .insmy tlu y to locate the out' posts. IVii oWfyfld nio tit traxeiso Bomo of ihu urosi-roiwls neir the The rebel army a not within u hundred miles , but still < > w < re in an uiemy'a country nnd no duly v.as neglected. I struck across n low ground by an utilised path running in the direction of the lines I wished to lucato. The mm had Dot and the shadows of the night were gathering. The thick undorgrouth made the jn h gloomy. I hnil no thought of d.vi , , r m fact , wiu thinking of what our IUCM would have for supper. My horse Btopj > od nnd shied i little as somebody stepped out into the path and o night the bridle. Tuo others joined the fir.st , who hnlttd mo.

Captured not on the bVJlo field , after doing my best , but i ] liotlv picked - od up by a squad of homo giurds. All my hopes of doing eoincthing ereditabloof winning glory in thH ended in this war Innniliation in this disgraco. The moio 1 thought over the situation , the moaner I folt. If I had my pistols back 1 would have taken the risks. But ono look at the men in the gloom convinced mo that they knoxv what they were about. They joked and laughed aa if they had done n smart thing , until I was actu ally amused at their eoinse htnnoru. And so wo wont on deeper into the undergrowth. Following the pith , in a short time wo came to their camp not much of a camp about thirty horses tied to the trees , ( iroupa oi men were scattered about , a few fires were burning , and the smell of fried bacon reminded mo of the muss table not far oil' . I always looked after that , and drilled the cuuka.Vo didn't otixrvo onraolves in thoco days. I imagined 1 could hoar the general say , "Whoro ii Dickey to-night ? ' And the doctor would answer : "Oh , hois thinking of that young lady porhap ? has gene to win the wager. I gueBs wo had butter h.i\o Bill save him some of the fried chicken. The lieutenant bought the chicken of the widow to-day. " My present prospect waa a ainclloi fried bucon ; my future , Libby nnd starvation. I aat down on a log and 8omo of the fellows stood about mo , making pretty free of their romaikn. They filmed their corn- cakes and bucon with mo and joked n good deal at my expense. , while smoked my pipe in apparent uu concern , waiting for somolhiin ; to turn up. As the night passed on , all except the guardn wont to sleep , Nothing but the froga and musquilocs brokj the ailenco and distut bed ropose. About midnight some ono camu into camp , and soon the command moved oil' . I xras pui on a horeo with a guar behind mo. Ic was a dark ridu through the woods. After reaching the high rood wo went on soina time over what Boomed fatinliur ground Halting near a house , the troops entered tored a wood near by und my guard took mo to the house. I recognized tha pbce. It was the plantation whore we stopped at noon A man came out who ivas called captain. It was yount ; Williuma. _ knew hia voice at onci' . Ho told the guards he had ncnt foi the boys bo c .iU3o they had a bttlo job on hand Before iio noticed mo ho told thorn about Iiia capture. Th y laughed . . good deal , while he u.voro old Gen. A. xvns n doviliah line old folluw , and ho had a fine Qtall' ; pretty good fel lows for Yanku. "Ho thought I wns brother JJill. was afraid ma and Kate would say something , but they had sense enough to keep still. Kato J.oi/t the nigfiora away , and no one suspected mo. 13 ut xvho have you here , boja ? Oomo in lot's got n light. " I followed into the house ; just ai ' came in MM. Williums and Ivato came with lights. I couldn't help but join in the laugh rui the light shone on my faco. Their surprise and my ridiculous situation diverted the affair all soriouoncts. Said I. "Ludiofl , pardon mo for intruding myself ujion you so noon again , but , you Bee , circumstances over which I have no control nro my oxctiso. Now , if it nero Dr. Uinghain there would bo porno c.xuimo , but for " me- me"Well , well , " said Mrs. W. , "Jim- iniu'U take good ciro of yon , lieuten ant , and the host thing he can do for you is to put yon t < i bed.

" Th captain and I ihd not uloop , Wo sat on the front porch while ho told mil ho was glad to have the clmiico doing mo a favor ; that I could give any word not to reveal his plan , part of which I had overheard , not give numbers and location of his command , Ho returned my sword and pistols and just as the light in east was appearing wo eat down a splendid breakfast. I was treat as a friend , and us I belted on my sword and pistoln and rode away , : there was not a jollier lieutenant in sunny south , A rapid ride of n foir miles and I caught up with the command. The general and stall had boon in great anxiety about mo , A rcarch had been mudo for me , the desired rebel camp discovered and my probable capture concluded , Ao xro had no cavalry no pursuit was made , Aly story waa ( told nnd repeated , as the capture would bo no credit to our staff , The . willingly increased hia accounts the sutler , when 1 gave him such glowing description of the charming ml conduct of MUfl Kato. * * * * * * * Throe years ago I was in Denver , queen of the plaino , a sanitarium nnd a ptratliso. 1 went to the pont- > flloo for my mail. I inquired for John A. PicVey A Ronthnun who WAJ passing stopped , and hx kim ; at mo a moment grasped my hftiid. "Dickoy , in tl.isj-ou' Clod bk a you ; how ate you ?

This was his homo ; which ho hid pictured tome mo as wo aat by the camp fire Ion ; ; 3 card before. Ho had been married ten years. As wo sat ri hia cosy library the door opened and a swuot little qirl came in , followed by a lady whom 1 had soon boforo. Yea , I needed no introduction. "Mrs. Hmghtun , I am your prisoner nyriiiixtHl 1 promise you not to leave before broaktaat. " It was delightful thus to meet an old coinwdn in his beautiful home , surrounded by all the advantages of xvealth and Miisand by all Ihoaojjood Vttluoncea a trim homo can ii\e. ; At tho'closii of the war the doctor went luck to the old scones , Ho went over the road from Ivionzi to Hatch p. lie found changes ; brother .limmio h.ut fallen at YJeksViii The widow died fcrokonhe.xrtod.
