1 Bosldeu , John Cunfleld had never been
piven much to words. Even when ho
had come as a suitor for her hand when
Bho was.pretty Jcnnlo Mayhow ho hnd
been content to lot others do the talking.
Ho had hnd very Httlo to say for him-
| t Bolf in those days , and n man who docs
not grow loquacious when first In love
will hardly do it afterwards. Despite
this , though , there was something about
him thnt attracted men and mndo them
bis friends.
It was during the closing years of the
r\var that ho first mot Jennie. He had
i ( drifted Into the little farming C9mmunity
, i In Illinois where she lived a man of HOer
or moro , from his appearance weak nnd
' ' sickly , with all the signs about him of
the soldier who hnd just been dischnrgcd
: ' for that indefinite something thnt army
il Burgeons were wont to term "general
I debility. " There were so many such
[ i men in those days thnt oven inquisitive
if gosshi lost interest in them. They wcro
I merely men falling from the ranks to
1 find in the ways of peace some oppor-
I tmilty to return to the old life before
" they mid followed a drum.
At first no ono hnd cared to nsk Caii-
[ Cold of his previous life , and after a year
Or two hud passed he hnd become so com-
; i Jiletoly ono of the community thnt any
curiosity ho might have excited by his
j1- arrival nnd died away. Personally ho
ftovor seemed to think himself of sufll-
cicnt importance to obtrude his in
flividuality on the public. It was under
these conditions that ho came as a lever
to Jcnnio Mayhow a year or moro after
Jiis arrival. The courtship was too
pleasant to waste it in thinking of the
past. Like nil lovers they spent it in
picturing out the pleasures ol the future.
From the first ho had never seemed
Jiko n Rtranger , and when ho asked her
for her hand she hnd grown to love and
trust him , and never thought of asking
Jilm of his past lifo. IIo wus superior to
piost men mentally , and his deportment
ijind bearing donated the gentleman.
'
After a few years of married lifo his
wife's father died , and then her mother ,
leaving her without kith or kin , snvo
juusbnnd and child. Then the child
sickened and died.
After that the old scenes grew dis
t tasteful , nnd , soiling the farm she had
, Inherited , hand in hand they had bidden
the three graves in the Httlo church
yard goodby and went westward atoms
in that restless stream of humanity that
for three centuries hnd ever been facing
pie sunset land across American prairie
find mountain. It was not strange that
; ns the years wont on they grow vary
jiear to each other. Where friends are
Jew homo ties arc strongest. Brothers
fnay strangle each other in palaces , but
tiovor in the tents of the Ishnmolitc.
] Always westward. Moro than once
'
, lhoy had decided to innko their abiding
place a permanent ono , but the old rest
lessness would corno again on the hits-
.band and again they would chnnge. It
Jvas as if ho were over looking for bome-
> ' thing ho know not what. It was not
kthat thirst for wnalth that makes wan-
n.florcrs of soauany men. For money ho
reared but little , so long as they hnd siif-
Colon t to satisfy their mbderato wants.
[ { Hud it been his desire ha might ha\o ]
.easily become a wealthy man on moro ,
ill ) nn ono occasion.
It was this spirit of .unrost that
Brought them Into the valley of the
Verde , for they were both too old tocnro
Buy longer for the excitement of Hfo in
II fa community juat beginning to bo hot-
{ tied. Still , both seemed to liavo many
< years of lifo before them , until ono day
Canllold was brought homo carried Hko
I' n log by neighbors who had found bin :
in the road , whore his horse had fulle
and thrown him. The grlof of the wife
, Was pitiable , and through the long hours
that followed while the surgeon was en
deavoring to bring consciousness bucli
to the injured man she never loft hit
bedside.
From the scant encouragement of the
doctor she felt that the parting she hue
eo long dreaded was at last at hand , am'
Bho was unwilling to lose a second of the
few hours that remained before the end
came. It was hor'torror that ho mightdio
without ono word of recognition. She had
nlmont become reconciled to his death ,
if ha could only iipeak again Hko his old
bolf nnd bid her goodby. When slio
ppoko to the doctor of the -possibility of
' consciousness returning to the wounded
man ho answered bur by slinking Ills
head doubtfully it was so doubtful that
lie did not dare to cxnro&s it in words.
To her It boomed moro cruel thin
death , that after HO many years tlioy
should thus at lust part , without a word
or sign to irnoh otherof the old love that
.had been theirs. She had thought
ivhon the Httlo arms of her only burr ,
had elmsg around her neck , begging tp
live , that It was terrible to fool the Httlo
v bunds relax , until she knuw thnt it was
only a Httlo armful of pulo clay she
pressed to her breast , but that was noth
ing to this.
Ono night , though , when the long
liourn of darkness bad drugged thorn-
8olv > s past midnight into the birth of
another day of watching and waiting ,
pud I ho light was burning low , Intensi
fying the shadows of ouch corner and
crovfco , she sat by the wounded mini's
bedside holding his hand in hera with
Closed oyi-a that she might not see his
tvnndoring , bloodshot eyes gazing va
cantly into the darkness , or his free
Jinnd plucking , plucking at the bed-
clothing , longing to close out from her
lioariug the half-muttorud mounlnglotiti
words of the sick man's phantasies , she
foil the hand she held in hors suddenly
Withdrawn , and opening her eyes Hko
ono starting from sleep to see what hud
occasioned it , tdio felt the blood grow
fold in her veins. The wounded man
bad raised himself in bod. A new color
md coma Into his fnco , nnd A now light
nto lilo eyes , High above hln bond
waved his right hand OB if holding n
tuber ready to cut down an opposing foe ,
ifhllo tlironuh tha sllcnco and darkness
of the night rang his voice , half shriek
and half cry , sounding like the call of nn
enraged animal , in the single word :
"Chnrgol"
As suddenly na the wounded man hnd
raised himself ho foil back exhausted ,
'or an instant ho closed his eyes , and
irhoti ho reopened thorn one could perceive -
coivo that consciousness hnd returned.
To the wife her heart seemed to stand
still with a now hope at the sight of re
turning intelligence. After all , he would
know her once ngain , oho would hear
'ilm call her name , bo might live. God
n his infinite mqrcy mlghtyet will It so.
"Whero la the regiment ? Did wo
carry the guns1'
The newly-felt hope loft his wife's
breast , and taking the wounded man's
iand to quiet him she said gently , in a
I'olco trembling with the agony of her
disappointment :
"Hush , my dear , you have been badly
mrt. "
The wounded man looked up in sur-
> rlso at the term of endearment , but
passing it by ns if eager to have his
juostion answered , ho said :
"Yes , I know it. Just as wo gotamong
tholr guns ono of their borpeants hit mo
on the bend nnd that was the last I know.
It was right after the colonel fell. Did
got the guns off ? "
wakened by the voice of the wounded
man the doctor , who hnd been brought
from the Httlo military post in the val
ley , entered the room , nnd placing his
linger on lib lips cautioned the wife to
bo jilont.
"Yes , you got away with them all
right , but you must bo qtilot ; you are
badly wounded. "
"Who else was hit ? I saw the colonel
and Barrett , nnd Jackson nnd Rowe , "
said the wounded man slowly , as if it re
quired an effort to recall the names ,
"and a lot moro fall out of their saddles
when they commenced to throw grape
in among us. Wcro they killed ? "
"Some we re and the rest are all right , "
answered the doctor at random , "but
you must be quiet , for wo want to huvo
you out pretty soon. "
"Thank God it is not serious then.
Has any ono written to my wife and the
.babies to lot them know there is no dan
ger ? "
"John , here I am. Don't you know
mo ? " asked the wife through her tears ,
as she throw hor&clf at his bedside.
The wounded man turned to the doc
tor in surprise and said : "My name Is
not John ; I am Harold Wilson , major of
the Eighth Pennsylvania cavalry.
Where is Surgeon McCoy of our regi
ment , and why am I not in the regiment
hospital ? Is it because I am a prisoner ? "
The doctor shook his head and an
swered resolutely : "You arc not a pris
oner and you must bo quiet. " And bend
ing down ho took the weeping woman by
the arm and led her from the room ,
leaving the wounded man alone.
As they went out into the open air ,
already freshening with the coming
morning , the doctor said gently :
"You must compose yourself , Mrs.
Canfiold. Ho is still very low , nnd rest
and quiet are all that will save him.
This hallucination will pass awav if ho
lives , and it will all como out right. "
The woman looked at him in silence
for a moment. She did not care to
speak to him of the great fear that' had
taken possession of her , the existence
of which she could not bear to admit
oven to herself.
"Do you think ho will ever know mo
again , doctor ? " she asked.
"If ho lives I am sure ho will , but you
must humor him in all his fancies , for it
is _ only by doing so tlmt there Is a possl
bility that ho may live. "
"But may I not tell him who I am
that I am his wife , doctor ? "
And the unhappy woman caught him
by the arm and looked into his face be
seechingly , while hot' body shook with a
grief that she could not control.
"Do you think ho was over married
before ? "
No , no ; it's only the fancy of a sick
man , " answered the doctor , softly , turn
ing away his eyes to avoid the pleading
look in the woman's eves.
"But may I not toll him who I am11
bho asked again with a woman's per
sistence.
"No , not now. Should ho recover , you
may toll him. Should the worst come I
will tell you , so thnt you may try to re
call the memory , " and giving some
minor directions ho left , promising to
return in a few hours. Aa the doctor
loft the house whore the wounded man
lay ho rode toward the Httlo collection
of well whitewashed barracks that shel
tered the garrison at Fort Verde and to
which for moro than a year ho had
given his sorvices. When ho reached
there reveille had already sounded , and
a few ollicorB hurrying hero and there
told of the commencement of the day's
duties.
Nodding to such as ho mot , ho rode
direct to the building dignified us hav
ing within its walls the olllcors club
rooms , as well as the few military books
and pumplots that constituted the
"library. " Some of the olllcors had al
ready dropped in for a few minutes
morning chat , and they asked him now
his patient was , as in the small com
munity civilians and soldiers alike were
so constantly thrown together as to bo
on more tliun ordinary intimate terms.
To the inquiries ho answered mechan
ically , as ho eagerly scanned ono
row of books after another , until
in. a fit oflmpationco ho swore roundly
at the folly of having a library In which
no ono could find what ho wanted.
"Toll us what book it is , doctor , and
wo will find it for you , " ventured e
lieutenant.
"I want the roster of the Pennsyl
vaniu troops , " replied the doctor.
"Well , if you are going back to study
ancient history , " laughed a gray-haired
captain , "thoro it is. I occasionally look
over it myself , for I got my first commis
sion from that state. "
Too much moved by the strange occur
rcnce of the night to notice their bad
inugo ho returned to the roster of the
Eighth regiment of cavalry. Brlolly and
concisely the buttles In which it hail par
ticipated were given at the top of each
page , but hardly noticing them his eye
sought the list of majors. "Harold
Wilson , ngo7 ; mustered in April 20 ,
1801 ; imistored out ; missing after An-
tleUim. "
Ho felt his bunds trembling eo that ho
could hardly hold the book and it re
quired an otfort for him to scan the list
of the numos of the ofllcors that followed ,
recalling as ho did BO the names tlu
wounded man hud mentioned.
"I saw the colonel and Burrott ant !
Jackbon and Itowu and a lot moro full
out of their saddles when they com
menced to throw grape in among us. "
Every word that the wounded man had
said seemed to ring in his oars until ho
could almost BOO , us if In the aiuoko am
flush of buttle , the empty buddies fron
which the grape had swept their rldors
'Burrott und Jackson and Howe,1
Yes , they were all there , und uftor two
of the numcB the brief sentence , "killet
ut Antteium , " finished the story the
wounded mun had bulf told. It wus like
going into the company of the deud
"Yes , ho was there , " said the doctor
moved beyond himself. Ho closed the
roster and replaced it on the shelf. As
ho turned toward the ofllcors he notice *
their inquiring looks.
"Tho major of the Eighth Peiinsyl
vaniu cavulry has come back from
' . the dead , " he said simply and
from the room. Ho hardly know
which to pltv tha moro the man who
md como buck from thodend after moro
, han a quarter of n century to die , or
, ho womnn who believed herself his
vlfo. When ho returned to the wound
ed mnn's bedside the womnn was sitting
near holding the sleeping man's liana.
When she saw the doctor she arose and
came toward him , and as she did so ho
noticed her eyes were heavy nnd swollen
with weeping.
"I know all. I believe all. IIo is
lead to mo , but wo must bring back to
ilm the others , " she could not steel herself -
self to name the others as wife nnd chil
dren.
The doctor regarded her in nma/c-
mcnt.
"Has ho been conpclous again ? " ho
asked.
"Only as when you loft him , but my
icnrt tolls mo that what ho has said is
so. and wo must find them , " she replied.
The doctor bowed his head. IIo felt
that it would bo a sacrilege to have
spoken. Ho looked at the wounded
man. At a glance ho saw that In a short
time all would bo over perhaps a day ,
perhaps two. The returning conscious
ness was only the flicker 'of the embers
| ) fore the ashes entirely covered them.
The woman had returned to the bedside ,
and taking the man's hand between hors
resumed her watch.
"I will see if wo can find them , " the
doctor said , and bowing he left the two
alone nnd gnlloped toward the fort.
At intorovals the wounded man awoke
from the half-conscious , half-delirious
stupor tlmt seemed to hold him. At
such times ho would ask eagerly for
news of the battle , of the regiment , of
comrades , but most of wife nnd children
and homo , nnd fretted because the
women who snt by his bedside could toll
him nothing. In vain she tried to
soothe him into quietness. Several
times ho asked if any letters had been
received from his homo.
Ho spoke of it so much , of a wife , a
younger Hnrold and a baby Charlie ,
that an agony of jealousy seemed to be
consuming her. She would have given
her llfo to have called him back to her
self , but it was as if they had never mot.
Ho seemed to think that it was but yes
terday that ho bad been struck down in
buttle , and was surprised at his weak
ness. Ho wns no longer the man of
three score , but the major of 27. Once
ho asked for a mirror , that bo might
see how the wound had changed himbut
she temporized with him until ho again
passed off into one of the dozing spells
that wcro becoming so frequent.
Then she arose and took the mirror
from the room and placed it whore ho
could not see it. She would not have
him sco the gray locks that hud
taken the place of those that were so
black when she hnd lirst kissed and
potted them. But the years that ho had
passed through in oblivion told against
him. Strength refused to return to the
shattered frame. A child might have
seen that death was close.
In his half-conscious moments the old
lifo before she had mot him was over
present. Once she heard him implore :
"Remember , remember. Do not forgot
me , oven though I die , " and she won
dered if this other wife still remembered
the dying man , as she remembered him
the bright morning of long ago when ,
amid the blossoming of peach trees , they
had been made man and wife.
The day wore wearily away. In the
afternoon the doctor returned. On en
tering ho merely said : "I have tele
graphed them. I found out the address
of the colonel of the regiment from ono
of our captains who served in the Penn
sylvania troops. Wo should hoar from
them tonight. "
The woman bowed her head in resig
nation. Even if ho wore lost to her ,
and might live , she was contont. As
she sat watching the doctor , trying to
read some encouragement in his eyes , ho
finished his exuminntion of the patient ,
and gravely indicating that she should
follow him Jed the way from the room.
"Ho is beyond waiting for them , " ho
said gently , when they had gone beyond
bearing. "Ho is fast sinking and unless
a change takes place cnnnot live long.
You might try to recall him. It can done
no harm nnd may do good. "
The woman received the words in si
lence , and leaving him passed into an
other room , where she took from u
trunk from amid a few baby clothes ,
faded and worn , her wedding dress.
Through the years that had passed since
she stood in it a bride she hud retained
it ns something too sacred to bo lightly
worn.
She had never thought to wear it
until it should bo placed around her for
her burial gown. With trembling
fingers und tears tlmt almost blinded her
she unwrapped the treasured garment
and dressed herself in It , and then
she arranged her hair as she hud ar
ranged it on her wedding morning long
ago. Surely , she thought , it would re
call the old days , but as she looked into
the mirror she trembled with a hideous
fear that it was useless.
The gray hair , the sunken cheeks , the
oycs pathetic with a lifo of sorrow , were
not the features of the face of the bride
ho hnd been so proud of. She could not
restrain her tears at the fear of failure ,
and kneeling down beside the open trunk
she prayed fervently that only for an in
stant might ho know , that ho might
speak but ono word , or oven press her
bund in recognition , or thnt her life
might bo ended with his ; nnd then , from
nmong the baby dresses she took an old
nnd faded photograph of the dead child
who had once called her mother.
Surely , if all else failed , ho would
know that and recognize her by it. She
put it into her breast , and , composing
herself with a mighty effort , she wont
into his room , trying to recall the smile
bo had once loved so well. Aa she en
tered he looked up und asked eagerly ,
yet faintly , if any letters had been re
ceived from horne for him. As she told
him none had arrived , she tried to on-
couruge him by attributing- to the
irregularities of the mail. The visible
manner in which her reply had disap
pointed him a ( Toe ted her so that she felt
that she could not proceed further , but
at length nerving herself , she placed the
daguerreotype in his hands , saying :
"I can fool how disappointed you are ,
for I hud a child of my own. This is bis
picture. "
As he took it from her trembling bund
she could hardly overcome the impulse
to throw herself on his breast und cull
to hii" to remember hor. The thought ,
though , that ho could not entirely for
got the child gave u now strength to
her.
her.Ho
Ho looked nt the picture a moment
enrol ossly.
"It does not look like you , " ho said ,
closing his eyes wearily , us if desirous to
be ulono with his disappointment.
The wife took the photograph und
placed it mechanically in her breast.
She felt no longer cither grief or puin.
It wns us if the failure had chilled her
into insensibility. She could not cry or
pray. They tried to lead her awny , but
she refused to go , and they let her alono.
She took no longer note of time , but sat
with her eyes watching the face of the
dying man. It wus only when , In the
dark of evening , the doctor threw the
sheet up to cover und hide the pale , set
face of the dead mun that she soemnd to
realize that nil was over.
That evening , after the doctor had re
turned to the post , and while ho- was
explaining to a group of curious officers
in the club how a inun might lose biu
identity for years by an injury to the
brain , and then recover It again through
the removal of the effects of uuch injury ,
a tnoftsongor placed In } | ( R hands u tola *
gram. Ho opened it ami1 read :
"Wilson's widow remarried nftor An-
tloUun. Una other children. All pros
perous. "
"By G-d , they got tt all In ton
words , " ho said bitterly , as ho tore it up
and lot the pieces flutter from his hand.

All the cargo was disposed of and tbo

Its owner , who on its arrival went to
church to give thanks to God for his
safe voyngo and the success at ending

Ills absence.
The stalwart slave was named
Ptolemy and ho was taught how to wait
on bis owner at table , black his boots

The old older promised Ptolemy that
some day _ ho would lot him go back to

In the next generation a son of
Ptolemy married an octoroon and in the
next generation a son of that son mar
ried a white woman , whoso son is the

BIO COAL BILLS.
The Ocoau Flyers Hum About Two Tliou-
8ii ml Tuns ICvcry Trip.
A paragraph has been going the
rounds of our exchanges to the eiTeot
that an "ocean racer" burns about $13-
000 worth of coal every trip. Very little
calculation will show how extravagant
this statement is , nays the Marino Jour
nal. The American liner New York
consumes about U28 tons per day , the
White Star liner Teutonic about It 1C
tons , and the Cunardor Etruria 330 tons
per day at full speed. It has been
stated that the Etruria at a speed of 18
knots burns only 275 tons per
day. This consumption would bend the
greyhound across with a total use of
about l,000 ! tons in round figures. The
price of coal in New York is considera
bly loss than $4 per ton , and in Liver
pool it is cheaper than hero , but even ut
outside figures the cost of fuel per trip ,
it will bo soon , does not exceed $8,000 , ,
and wo would not bo pur prised to find
tbo actual average price paid to bo less
than $0.000.
The fuel bills of such ships are of
course far in excess of those of the
average ocean steamer. Triple-expan
sion engines and improved machinery of
the prefaont day have made it post i bio to
bo economize coal that the consumption
per indicated liorso power per hour 1ms
been reduced in ratio to much less than
two pounds , as against nine pounds In
J83t ( and live and one-half pounds in 1840.
The Teutonic's average is quoted at 1.0
pounds per hour. The majority
of ocean steamers of ordinary si/.o
traveling ut an easy gait think
a ton of coal per hour is quite extrava
gant enough for tholr propulsion. Our
big now war ship Iowa will have a bunker -
kor capacity for only ' 2,000 tons of coal
to speed her at sixteen knots , the In
diana's bunker capacity will bo 1,888
tons , the , ' ) ,000-ton cruinor lUincinnati's
bunker capacity will bo only 55(1 ( tons ,
and the crack Japanese ship Yoshiuo ,
with a speed of twenty-three knots , has
bunkers to hold only 1,000 tons. It is
doubtful if the buiiKoru uf any steamer
alloat would hold $13,000 worth of coal
if bought in Now York.
