for month", for ha had Ix-en ana la tin

Jtv wax going to see her now, however, and
a hi walked up acn Judge I)n-lcy s
Liivu hia heart bent wildly with hnppy an
ticipation. f..r . i a moment more he would
hc.l.l to bin breast tiir woman ha loved.
He had reached the bouse and una la the
act of setting bit foot on the veranda when
ha wn anvatiij by a peal of laughter. Ila
knew well who laughter it waa, for it ba4
thrilled bim a Imiiilml times before. II
gl.turcd aroiiiul, nml through an ojx-n win
dow be aw I juirn. Uut abe was not alone.
Sbestocxl clasped Intbeamia of another
man, her bead n-xting gently, lovingly on
hi shoulder. I lu waaaxtonished hardly
alile to credit bla rye, bia Mood fnixcn In
bi vein. There wa no Mmiiii for doubting
the meaning of what be saw. Every gc
lure. eviTjr feature of tbu woman told only
too plainly th.ii loved tbe mm Inwboae
anna "he rested.
for a Uiliiuto Ia-m rrmainrd there look
lug ut tbe two, then be turned and alag-
gercilnwny. lie went down theatu to the i dcr tbe
road, reeling like a ilruuken mau, and then
be sat down by tbe roadside with hia head
In hi bauds and tried to tbit.k. Hut on
picture only came In-fore bim that wblih
he had Jut seen. And try aa he would he
could not ttfttti-h it from bim. Une thought
only ocriipinl bia mind, and that waa that
Ijiura bail proved false alie w bom be loved
with nil the ardor of bia aoul and whom be
had trusted aa he would tbe augcla of
bcavrll.
An hour passed, and then he an and
went b k toward the old mill, which waa
bis home. Aa he walked hia mind rraumitl
lu function, and la-fore he bad reached tbe
md of bia Journey he hud miiiuml a plan
of act inti. He intend tbe mill and made a
lli;lit, for It waa quite dark now, and then
he wmttf and tacked on tbe door a not ire
nailing, "I'lum-d forever." Then he went
to hia room In the loft and gathered to
gether bia valuable-, all of which be put
carefully awuy. After that he came cut,
closed and bx Led theiulll and walked aw a)
in the direction of t he crossroad. Howa
going to join l!lukcly'xeomuiny of recruits
which waa then fonulug.glad of the oppor
tunity to engage In tho war and hopeful
that tliero would be bard fighting noon and
plenty of it.
Tbe recmita were gathering at tbe road
when Lcm arrived, livery ono waa Mis
prised to Hi) Lent there, but they were
more surprised by hia wonderfully altered
appearance. Already bia face waa bur
Kurd, a.id he npM'ared to have netl aererul
years within a few hour. The men knew
there wujin cms,' for thmchuiie that aome
tliiiiR nfTii tin U'iu deeply hud trnimpired,
but tbry could not auriiiint-what, and the
exprvwuon of hia face drterred them from
aakiug any question. With wonder and
mrpri! Captuiu lilukily welcomed Iiuto
bla company.
At midnight all tbe recruit were In, and
tbe little Land of volnntivra pn parxil to
bcfc'lu their march. Ixin Im.k a r,ltlon Id
front of llio column, and win 11 lilakcly
itave the word to move be aim away at
auch a Kait that hia coiiia!iiuiia found it
diflicull to Lei-p pacewiib him. 11 u waa
in a fever if cxtilctncnt, nml he wmilcd ac
tion. He would have niv.-u the world li
tberv hud In-en a battle niKixg then and be
could have pluiii.'i reekleHkly into the hot
tent iiit if it. lie longed to bear the boom
ing, of cannon, lliu whultigof ahellannd
tberutlluiif muketry. While the other
talked and laughed I .cm alalknl atolidly
on, p-imly aileiit, aave that now and then
he tumid to urge hia compauioua to more
foxier.
Two day later the little band were with
the army, nml hxm Ia-iii waa captain of
lllakely'a old eoniuiny. Then in tbe day
following theru wax lighting, marrlring and
akiniiixbing until the xxr aoliliem were
worn out it li fntiuo and exposure, but
though brill miinageil to ahare the heaviext
bunlciia he waa iuipatii nt ntid chafed for
more movement, niorv hiinlxhipa and mora
danger. Army life waa lucking iuexcito
mpiit for him.
The tx-oplu at home learned iu time
through letter from the nnny where Leu
waa, but they were unable to account fot
hi uddeu and abrupt departure. They
could not iitiderxtnnd how a young man
who had come Into considerable wealth by
tbe death of bia father alioiild go away
leaving hi land and hi milla uncared for
aud unprotected. They wondered, tixj, that
he xhould go uwny leaving Ijiurn Dugley
at that time, knowing na they did the near
approach of Li intended marriage with
her. Hut though xnple nt home womb red
at thrxc thingx they could form no xat 1 -.factory
con j't-t tire na to the cauxe of Item's
actiouit, for be uttered nerera word to gire
them a clew.
Two year pa wed, and then there came
letter telling of the hard lighting nroiind
Vhkxhurg. and one of them told of tbe fall
of Ijem Hiikctt. Tin new xprcad rapidly
through the neighuorhuod ulxjut Iktkett'a
mill and reached even to the tuner walls of
Judge Dagley' houxe. Wn there one In
the bous to mourn Lrm Ikckett'a fater
One to yearn for him and weep for hi 1P
Hut Ix'iu lrki tt wa not lost. He fell,
but he ruse again. After long weeks he
came forth from tbe hospital a maimed
man, the deep lines 111 hi face telling the
atory of hi great aulTering. Hi right
nu waa goue, aud be could 00 longer lend
til battle.
ince leaving home Im bad heard noth
ing from the Dagleja, and he a iptol
Laura bad long aiuce nnuriisl and gone
away, ao be resolved to go hack. A-ioid-lngly
he Lunrdiil a xUamlxkit and wrnt to
M. lAi.i. He atopped In that utr, and
after drexsing himxeif In better tlotblEg
went to a bou L He waa alxmt toeu'.erlhe
ofiiee to aecure a room whru be aaur a man
aud woman alight from a carriage nud pas
Into the building. He atopxxi, dun.li with
surprise and pain. The woman w a l-aura,
m.d the Diau was the same be bad aven
wiih her that night in Judge Ltaglry's par
lor. He watchiil them ax they paaxed Into
the bous. and i.r u her turn her eye
upon him. Vet aha allowed uoeurpn-e

lie walked back to the mill and stood
3uietly ou the platform in front of the gnat
(Kir too deeply riigrnxxcd iu thought to
not ice t lie flight of time. At last he 11 n tee
w ith a shiver, passed into the mill nnd lay
dow n ou hi bed. The next morning he
wa found there, burning with fever and
delirious. A doctor waa summoned, and
when he came be shixik his bead gravely,
pronouncing U ui i recovery ilotililiul
"The trouble ia more of the mind than
the Isxly," he said. "Medicine cuu do little
good."
Iin talked continually in an Incoherent
way, aud though the dix-tur held bla ear
close to tbe uiicoiixcioua man' lipe he could
understand but one word he uttered, a id
that word waa "taunt." Over and over be
spoke that Dame.
"Ilia trouble I connected with her," the
diK-lor aaid, "and her presence aloue Can
save him.
L) aa taxxil, and then consclouaneaa re
turned to I .cm, nnd heoH-iiiil In 1 yea and
luiikeil about bim. llislirst glance rested
on a face familiar, yet xtrnngely nltered a
face that had been with bim ill all bia wan
derings, in aicknesa and health. It was
ljiura's fiue, saddened nnd tile now, but
Ijtura's face still, and though for mo
ment be doubted lit 1 reality he soon com
prehended thut she was still lu the f.iu.
l or a long time he looked at her, reading
tbe atory of ber suffering; then he said
softly, "Laurul"
Mia sprang up and would have left the
room, but be held her baud and would D t
let her go. "Aye, you are ftesli and blood,"
he muttered. "You ore real."
Then he drew her to him as If to kin her,
but remembering himself he desisted, aay
hng: "I forgot. You are the w-lfo of another."
"The wife of another?" Laura repeated
wonderiligly.
"Aye, ). You are his wife Thomp
son's. I saw you with him at St. Louis
saw w here bo bad registered at tbe hotel,
'J. 1. Thompson and w ife.' I never fur
got It."
After awhile nrnyof light began to dawn
on Ijiuru' mind. Hie saw that a great
mistake hud hern made by Ia-iii, and she
unilerxtixxj how a purt of It hud comeatxiuU
"U-in," she said, unwittingly calling
him by hia (brut Dame, "my sister married
Mr. Tbomp-toti, and it must have been her
yuu saw In M. Ixiula, i-hc and I are twin.
and we Used to be ao much alike that our
own family could hardly distinguish ua
apart. Y uu never saw her, for she married
before we came here to live, nnd she bos
visited us but once, nud that was at the
time jou went away."
I-iii opened his cyca wide and stared
blankly at I -aura, lie utiili rxiood it nil
Dow. It wa Ijiura'a sister and husband
he had seen that night in Judge Hngley's
parlor, and he thought it I .aura and an
other lover. Ah, hi avelisl w hat a mistake
he hud made, and w hat years of bitter suf
fering that mistake had wrought for both
him and Ijvunil With a very humble heart
and a very contrite spirit be told 1-aura of
his mistake aud of everything attending
It
"I waa a fool, Laura," be added, "to ever
doubt you for an instant, but I waa so aure
It waa you I saw that night. 1 did you a
gnat wrong, but 1 have suffered for It
suffered bitterly. And I never ceased to
love you. If you can forgive me a little,
that is all I can ask. Will you, I-auraf
Will you try to forgive me a little?"
I-aurn laid ber band ou 1-ciu'a, forehead
and looked dowu into hi pour, wasted face,
saying softly:
"I forgive you everything1. Lent I for
give Jou because Hove you."
Two mouth later Ix-tu waa well, and
tljen one day there waa a quiet wedding at
Judge Dauley'a bouse. Tbe bride and the
grtxjiu stiil Ixire some truces of tbe trials
through whiih tln-f had pa-xed, but the
light of a lit-W bappiuexa shone lu their

that a new and glnriuue day waa breaking
