The fact that the United is

Orciron hleetne at Urenco, or
between Hillslwro and Orenco,
lends color to the belief that
Hill wants to L'et out south and

turns.
A well known railway man,
and one who generally tfets a

and chatted for a lone while. It seem
ed to me that he would have liked to
tell her that he loved her, but some
reason Interposed, probably the fact
that he waa Just Btartlng In life and
both were very young. At any rate, he
rose to go wltiiout .having done so.
But he did the next best thing. He
offered me to her and told her that If
she would keep me till be came again
he would have a secret to tell her.
She tried to look Indifferent when he
called bis dog and started back home.
But as soon as he waa well down the
road she ran Into the house, taking me
with her, and up to her room, where
she wept a long while. Then she no-
Uced me on her bureau, where she haa
placed uie. and put me In water.
There I remained till she went to bed.
Just before doing so she placed me In
a book of poetna.
In the morning as soon as she awoke
she opened the book and kissed me.
Then, lest I should fall from between
the leaves, she pinned my stem to the
leaf. Tuder uie she wrote June 15.
This book of poetna was to be my
permaneut home, a very fit dwelling
place for a white rose. The girl read
the book very often aud always caress
ed mo when she did so. A year pass
ed, and when the next summer had
gone she wrote under ute on the mar
gin of the page:
"Will be uever come?"
Years passed I don't know how
many, perhapa five or six and he did
not cotue. Theu the girl went away,
leaving me with her other favorites
More years passed. One day a man
came Into the room where I was and
packed all the books, the one I waa lu
anions' the number, and they were
carted away. Wheu the box contain
tun me was opened a man took out my
book dwelllus and placed it ou a Bhelf
of a bUod wttb other books,
I must have beeu by this time eight
or ten years otu. at auy rum, wj
leaves were yellow and brittle, though
my stem was still Arm. One day
man came Into the bookshop and
asked If they bad a certain book of
poems. I was tnken down and handed
to him. He opened the cover, and
when he saw the name written on the
flyleaf I felt hla hand tremble. Then
he turned over the leaves till be came
to the pace to which 1 had been pin
ned. His fingers clutched the book lu
a Bort of spasm.
"How much?" he asked the shop
keeper.
"oh, you cau have that for 10 cents."
The purchaser tossed a bill on tha
counter and, forgetting his change,
hurried away. The shopman called
after him, but he did not hear. .

When the civil war rnme oil two
lasses of men lit the north went out
to fight. The one were actuated by
patriotism, the other by what they ex
pected to make out of the mntter. But
the war. Instead of Inst lug but few
months, as matiy at first expected, fur
nishing military titles and big pay for ,
this last uamed class, proved a gignu- ,
tic, bloody struggle, and with each
flcht the army was In need of tbeso
so called soldiers.
Colonel Jim O, In 1SC2 commanded
the brigade In which I served. Tha
roinnpl had been a uotlttrtan In a largn
city and was one of the first to "offer
himself a sarrUlce to the Lnlon. in
Idea of that sacrifice being tbnt tin
would start out with rank of colonel
and return with that of general, pok
ing up sundry "wriulsites" by tht
way, then run for a fat olilce. He was
a fine looking man and prided him
self on br-lng a lady killer.
No sooner were the troops grouped
into brigades and divisions tlmn Colo
nel Jim by virtue of the date of bis
commission was placed In command ot
a brigade). AS soon as tills elevation
took place he looked about him for a
staff. Being allowed two aids, ho
chose Iitils ftlchmond and me. both
second lieutenants. Blcbmond told me
that be didn't like the colonel and was
Intending to ask to be returned to hi
regiment. But no sooner hud he told
me this than on receipt of a letter
from the north he said that be would
remain on the staff. 1 asked him why
he had so suddenly changed his views.
but ho shut up like an oyster and re
fused to utter a word in explanation.
It waa not long after this that one
morning at the breakfast table the
colonel's brow was very lowering.
Gentlemen." be said, "there's a
thief on my staff. Last night while t
was at Colonel B.'s headquarters" tie
had been playing poker "my trunk
was rifled of a package of papers."
As he spoke he looked at all our
faces to note the effect of bis words.
I noticed that Itlchmond was the only
one of the staff whose looks Indicated
consciousness.
"Might not the thief be one of the
headquarters guard or an orderly?"
suggested the commissary. i
"No." replied the colonel; "the rob
bery was not committed for gain. ',
There was money in the trunk, and It
was not taken. Some one on my staff ;
took the papers for a purpose. If I
can prove It on him I'll have Llm court !
martlaled." 1
The colonel's eyes were fixed Intent- i
ly on Richmond as be spoke. But Rich- I
mond weut on eating his breakfast ;
with a fair amount of equanimity con-
s.derlug that he was vlrtuatly accused
of being a thief. Nevertheless durlnst
the day he made application to Colonel
Jhn to be returned to his regiment ,
Now, the relations between a gen- t
era I and bis personal staff are of a
peculiarly Intimate and confldeuUal
character. The general may nomluate
bis own staff, aud the nomination Is
considered an honor. But he Is not
likely to retain au officer who prefers
not to bold the position gtveu him.
What was our surprise to learn from
Louis Richmond that the colonel de
clined to Issue the order returning hint
to his regiment Evidently the com
mander believed that his aid had
stolen his papers and proposed to force
hltu to stay where he was until be
could recover them.
Since Richmond made no deulal of
being guilty of the colonel's charge wo
treated him with coolness and finally
refused to speak to him except offi
cially. Though the young man winced
under this, he seemed to be sustained
by a consciousness of innocence.
Meanwhile there were condition be- .
tween him and the colonel that we
could not understand. Neither took
any definite stand. The colonel did
not prefer charges, and Kieumoud
made no move to force the colonel to
permit him to Join bis regiment, which
seemed to be the only way to get rid
of a very unpleasant situation. I no
ticed that Colonel Jim tnude no men
tion of the character of the purloined
papers, and his aid made no effort to
free himself from the obloquy that
rested upon him.
Such were the conditions when we
entered our first fight. The colonel did
not show up at the head of his brigade,

best fitted to take his place. Issued or
ders In his stead. When the fight was
over the colouel appeared, explaining
bis absence on the ground that he hud
got separated from his com maud when
the fight opened and could not after

But the division commander did not
accept this excuse and called for
Colonel Jim's resiguutlon. It was
landed In, and the political gcnerul
disappeared from the service.
Colonel Jim's relegation to ward pol
itics relegated Itlchmond and myself to
our respective regiments. Soon after
the fight he asked me to come to bis
quarters. There lie made an explana
tion of the conditions existing between
him and his commander. A lady had
written him that the colouel bad ft
number of letters from her which she
was desirous should be returned. Tho
colonel hud declined to give them up.
She asked Richmond to get them for
her by, hook or by crook. He had
hooked toierri.
Of coutse Richmond received his To
