rid"
Itli the c.xclnmatlon pretty
Mrs. Wulilnmn fell Into liur luiHbiiml m
urms, NhlvurliiK with terror.
"There, I've blurted It out In thu worst
wny, lifter all this Inst hour Hpent In
thinking how I could hrenk It tho ens!-i-st."
"Hut It will kill mi?, Mark. What shall
I do; wltnt citu I iloV I can't Mtutnl It,
ami I won't let you go; they may Hhoot

"There, there, Kittle, dear, you do not
know what you are Haying; you must try
ami he patient ami suhmlsilve. There'll
he Home wny provided, though 1 don't
see how I can save you Just now in tho
beginning of winter."
l'oor Kit wept until completely ex
hausted, entirely deaf to her husband's
weak attempts nt consolation.
It was a mid home, but not the only
one In tho land that dread November of
1SWJ.
The fatal "draft" put out the light for
ever on many u hearthstone.
"So ycr drafted, be ye, Nell';" remarked
the postmnster nt The Forks, eyeing the
stalwart young man addressed with n
i look which plainly said, "and I'm glad
of It."
"I H'poso I am."
"(JoIn'V" ,
"No, Hlrt When Nell Weldman gets
ready to work for Uncle Sam he'll let
him know- by enlisting; until then he'd
havo his Majesty know he ain't a-golu'."
"Not very patriotic!" sneered n by
stander. "Now, I'd n been tlmr long ago
If't hadn't a been fer this here game leg
o' mine."
".Small loss to the country," growled
Nell.
"S'poso Mark'll not go. neither?" inter
posed the postmaster.
"Mark!"
Nell turned a face suddenly grown
eager and white.
"Mo nln't on the draft?"
"Hut he be."
"Yes, and told mo ho'd hnve 'to go,"
added the bystander.
Without another word the young man
turned on his heel, Involuntarily loosen
ing the scarf about his neck that he
might breathe more easily. Swiftly he
passed out Into the dull November day,
looking neither to right nor left.
On, on he walked, like a man in a ter
rible hurry, until three miles lay between
himself and the garrulous little group at
The Forks. Ho was turning in at his
own gateway, but, changing Ills mind, he
passed on, still at the high rate of speed,
Two more miles were paced off iu this
mad fashion; then he wheeled about and
faced toward home again.
When once more he found himself
there lie felt weak and spent, Slowly
then he passed In and up the rude stairs
into the little loft denominated "Nell's
room."
"What's up now?" his sister remarked.
"Ain't that draft business all settled?"
"I s'pose It's all right; he tcnt on the
money," returned her husband, who had
vainly tried to enlist, but had been re
jected on account of dcafius,
"l bet If I was him I'd enlist first
chance now 'ml get my money buck," ho
continued.
"Kverybody ain't so fond of n dollar,
nor so Itelieu fer a tight as you be," re
sponded his wife, in the shrill treble she
always used In addressing him.
"I ain't no coward, none of the Moso
lys be," ho retorted.
"Neither be the Weldmans, Dick Mo.se.
ly, but they've g'ot sense enough to look
out fer tiumber one. They ain't dirt
poor."
Nell, lying at full length on his couch
in the loft, smiled grimly at their alter
cation. "Dick nln't rk to manage here, but I
don't care," he muttered; then turning
lib face to the wall, he slept through
sheer mental nnd physical fatigue.
When he awoke It was growing dusk
and Mollle was calling to know If he
were sick, or why he did not go out to
attend to his part of tho "chores" as
usual.
No sootier was breakfast over the fol
lowing morning than he buttoned his
coat about him nnd started ofT.
"Some way, Nell acts awful iiueer.'V
shrieked Mollie to her husband.
"Does he?"
"Does he?" sho muttered, turning nway
in disgust, "How stupid men are, any
way, Mark ain't, though, and Neil didn't
use to be,"
It had been a terrible ulght at Murk
Weldmau's.
Kit's mother had becu suuiiuoucd, but

The outlook wns

Kit might. In fact would hnve to stay
there in their little cabin home with her
little ones. There wns no room for her
at her father's, for already a widowed
daughter had conic back there wltli four
children,
A younger brother would hnve to come
and stay with her it was the only way.
She might go and stay at Mollle's
only there was Nell.
It was about 10 o'clock .when Nell
Weldman rapped at his brother's door.
Mark's fnce showed something of what
he was suffering when he opened It.
"Nell! Come In."
"Can't; I'm In a hurry. I was on the
drnft, but had the casli nil ready, so sent
It In yesterday. I hear you are on, too,"
"I niu; nnd heaven knows how I can
be spared, but I could not raise fifty
dollars, much less three hundred." Ills
voice broke a little.
"Well, 1 came to tell you I will go In
jour place. CJood-by."
"Nell!"
Mnrk sprnng forwnrd, grnsplug his
brother by the arm nnd fnlrly dragging
him inside.
"There, don't make any fuss, about It,"
muttered the young man. You can't bo
spared I can. It will make no difference
to any one whether I live or die."
Mark had bowed his head on his hands
and was shaking with emotion. Kit's
voice from the other room called feebly
to know what the matter was. Mrs. Hell,
her mother, hud gone home for a few
hours, taking the little boys with her.
Springing up again, Mnrk opened wide
the middle door, saying: "It Is Nell, Kit
tle, nnd he offers to be my substitute.
Come In here, brother, do."
"Ilnveu't time this morning, Mark,
(live my respects to Mrs. Weldman. I
may be In again before leaving," Ills
hand was on the latch,
"Please, Nell, come here."
It wns Kit's pleading tones, and before
he realized what he was doing the young
man stood by the bedside looking down
Into the face of the one woman he had
loved. It was live years since she hnd
told him she was going to marry Mnrk,
ami In all that time they had never spok
enhad rarely met.
"Oh, Nell, you are too good you can
not mean It."
"I mean It," he said, coldly.
Through It all he had never suffered
as he did now, to see how willing she was
to have him sacrlllce himself for Mark.
It was a moment of supreme bitterness,
jet in spite ot himself he lingered to
gaxo for perhaps the last time into the
bwcet fnce.
Her eyes were full of tears, and catch
lug his hand she passed It to her lips,
bobbing:
"You are so good, so uoble! If It were
not for the children we could not consent
to your going.
"If only we could raise the money, but
we have little to sell and there is no one
to buy what we have."
"I have made up my mind nnd should
go nnywny, now. There Is nothing to
keep me."
"Hut, Nell, this Is too much," said
Mnrk, who had now sutllclently recovered
himself to comprehend the situation, "I
cannot let you go, but If you could look
after things hero some nnd see that Kit
did not suffer, I could go easier. There
Is only Joe to do anything."
"No use tnlklug, Mark, 1 am going; and
now, good'by all."
He almost snatched his hand from
Kit's clasp, and was gone,
"Mollle, I am selng to the war,"
"lloln to the war. Nell? Why, I
thought you'd sent on the money,"
"Yes, so 1 did; but Murk was on the
draft, too, 'nd we couldn't nohow raise
another three huudrcd, 'nd be can't be
spared from home at this time o' year;
so I'm going iu "
"In his place?" interrupted Mollle, ex
citedly. Nell nodded,
"Well, If I ever s'posed I'd live to see
you give your life for Murk, after he cut
you with "
"There, there, Molllel Now, about
things here on the place."
"Why, I urn sure I don't know; I s'pose
Dick and me can manage, though I shall
have the most ot It to do. It Dick Is my
husband, 1 must say as I've said before,
the Moselys are mighty poor managers;
but, Nell, I hate awfully to hare you go,"
They talked a long while, but Mollie
never dreamed ot the terrible battle her
brother fought out with himself that dull
Noteuiber day.
TURN BACKWARD.
Sho never knew how tempted he had
been to let his brother the man who had
robbed him of his life's happiness look
out for himself.
The tempter whispered, "Lot him go,

blame: then Kit will be n " Hut. of

campaign. He was with him until sent
under Sheridan to Five Forks, where he
was severely wounded, but to him there
wns never such another battle ns the one
fought with himself during tlmt mad
walk un'der tho gray November skies.
"Nell Is wounded nnd I must go to

lie to re the sun went down that day he
had kissed his wife, boys nnd infant
daughter Nellie good-by nnd was on his
way to his brother's side.
The meeting between them was affect
ing In the extreme, but Nell wns by 'tnr
most composed of the two,
"I've got to go, Mnrk, but It Is no mat
ter. I am so glnd tlmt It Is not you."
Hcfore the end came, he seemed to real
ize that ho was not unloved and that his
heroic sacrlllce hnd been npprcclnted.
Toward the Inst tho wounded soldier
became delirious, nnd It wns from his
ravings thnt Ids brother learned of his
great temptation nnd the mastery gained
over self that eventful day. He talked,
too, of "Kit" until tears bathed tho faco
of the agonized watcher.
When all was over, Mark Weldmnn
went bnck home with the remnlus of his
"substitute." nnd Inst Memorial Day, sit
