CHAPTER I.
The Knight of the White Rose.
T was a bright day in the
November of 1S60, that a
**'iarge number of guests were
assembled at Paymonte, the estate
of Colonel Horace Arlington, of West
Virginia, to witness one of those en
tertainments which are termed “pe
culiarly Southern." Sixteen young
knights had entered the lists to ride
at the ring for a prize, which was
the choosing and crowning of a Queen
of Love and Beauty. Their names
were announced by a herald as fol
lows :
‘The Knight of the Joyous Heart.’
‘The Knight ofUnbroken Faith.’
‘The Knight of the Laclve’s Blush.’
‘The Knight of the Red Cross.’
‘The Knight of St.John.’
‘The Knight of the White Rose.’
‘The Knight of the Red Rose.’
‘The Knight of the Forest.’
‘The Knight of the Field.’
The Knight of the Glen.’
‘The Knight of the Severed Crest.’—
(Conveying an allusion to lhe an-
tteipated dissolution of the Union.)
The Champion of State’s Rights.’
The Knight of Unblighted Hopes.’
‘The Knight of St. George.’
‘The Champion of True Love,’ and
‘The Champion of Minstrelsy,
When the herald had ceased speak
ing, there was a flourish of trumpets,
and the knights, who were drawn
up in glittering array on the lawn in
front of the broad balcony upon
which the ladies were placed, all
doffed their helmets to the ladies
whom they had respectively chosen,
and prepared for the trial of horse
manship. They were all richly at
tired and well mounted, and each
one wore his ladye’s badge. As
they rode off’to the appointed place,
the band struck up a lively and pa
triotic strain ; and many were the
hearts that throbbed anxiously and
pulses that quickened to behold their
movements. One might almost have
fancied that they were on the eve of
a battle. It seemed a foreshadow
ing of the years that followed ; and,
alas! how few of those joyous youths,
now revelling in the first flush of
manhood, were destined to realize
the hopes breathed for them ! How
many, ere another twleve month had
sped, lay mouldering under the grass
“which now beneath them’’ grew !
How many mothers and maidens,
now radiant with happiness and
pride, two years later, when
“The Spring
Came forth heT work of gladness to contrive.
With all her reckless birds upon the wing,
Turned from all she brought, to those she could
not bring.”
My heart bleeds as I write. For
ward with this tale! The competi
tors were so well matched that it was
difficult to decide upon the victor,
and the exercises lasted far out into
the afternoon. Refreshments were
served up on the balcony, where the
suspense was general; when sud
denly there arose a cheer from the
judges standing on the trial-ground,
and ‘The Knight of the White Rose’
was echoed from lip to lip. He was
a tall, slight figure, habited in a suit
of well-imitated Milan armor, with
his visor down (and mounted on a
genuine jet black Arab); who, stand
ing upright in his stirrups, with the
horse going at full speed, had taken
every ring, in turn ; then scarcely
pausing at the end of the course,
wheeled round, and dropping grace
fully into a sitting posture, returned
them all lolbeir respective posts. It
was a feat worthy of an accomplish
ed circus actor, and lhe prize was
unanimously adjudged to him.
‘Who is he ” queried some one
on the balcony.
“A Captain de Caroll, from Lou
isiana, a cousin or something of Her
bert Ruthven’s wife, and staying
with them at Elsinore,” replied an
other. “You see he has taken as
his badge the white rose which
Maude Arlington wore in her dress
last evening; he is quite marked in
his attentions to her,—and see, now,
they are calling her out; she will be
crowned Queen.”
And as she spoke, a young girl
was handed out upon the decorated
platform which had been construct-
ed-for the coronation. Miss Arling
ton was little more than seventeen,
a very fair blonde, with wavy gold
en hair and deep blue eyes, and pre
sented a striking contrast to the ap
pearance of the victorious knight,
u hose raised visor disclosed a coun
tenance of unmistakably Creole type.
He was pale, but his eyes glowed
with animation ; and the hand that
had held the reins so firmly first, now
trembled as he placed the coronal
upon her brow.
Half an hour later the company
sat down to q grand dinner; and
the entertainment was concluded by
a ball.
“Maude,” said Colonel Arlington
to his daughter, next day, “it is
wrong for a young lady to show such
a decided preference tor any gentle
man as you did for Captain de Ca-
roil, last night; I don’t think you
danced with any one else the whole
evening.”
“Under the circumstances, papa,”
she replied, coloring, “I thought it
was allowable. You see he was my
chosen champion for the occasion,
and —”
“That does not alter the fact,”
interrupted her father, who had been
narrowly scanning her countenance,
“The young man is a comparative
stranger to you, Maude, and I tell
you plainly I don’t care to encour
age an intimacy wiih him. He is a-
greeable enough, and all that, no
doubt; but 1 don’t fancy these
F renchmen.”
“But, papa, Captain de Caroll is
not a Frenchman; he was born in
Louisiana.”
“He is of French descent, and, I
understand, was at school some
where near Paris for some years
previous to his being entered at West
Point. We know nothing of him
farther than his relationship to Mrs.
Rutbven; and her fast manners have
not prepossessed me in favor ol her
States-people. Once for all, Maude,
I tell you I don’t desire a nearer ac
quaintance with Captain de Caroll!
Furthermore, I am resolved that you
shall not make your promised visit
to Elsinore until he has left.” And
with an emphatic twist in his arm
chair, the Colonel took up his news
paper, and his daughter felt that it
would be unwise to continue the
subject.
“Go away !—to-morrow r”
And her hand dropped from his
arm, while her lace grew deadly
pale.
’“Yes. I am going on to Washing
ton to resign my commission. I be
lieve that a war is inevitable, and
wish to be one of the first to volun
teer for the Southern service.”
“But why must you go so soon ?”
“If you really wish me to defer
my departure, you have but to speak
the word ; say, shall it be yea or
nay ?” And he bent closer over her.
But she only covered her face
wiili her hands and burst into tears.
“I d o-o-n-t k-u-o-w !” she sobbed.
‘•I see I must not detain you any
longer,” he said in a low, smothered
voice, in which irritation and bit
ter disappointment were strangely
blended; then changing his manner,
“by-the-bye, here is a note from Rose.
Good evening.” And before she
could detain him, he had placed the
note in her hand and walked rapidly
away.
Dashing back her tears, Maude
returned to the house, and going to
her owr. room, lit a candle and open
ed the note. It read as follows :
“ J/ypoor little Friend,—Give up
these false scruples, which only tor
ture you, and obey the dictates of
your own true woman’s nature. Be
lieve me, dear, a woman’s first duty
is to the man whom she loves, and
who has singled her out from all the
rest. Henri’s life is bound up in
you ; and you are (unconsciously, it
may be) trifling with his deep ear
nest passion, and storing up misery
for both. Don’t drive him to despe
ration, Maude, for none will have
more bitter cause to rue it than your
self. Child, I want to see and speak
with you. I hold a promise of a vis
it from you, the fulfillment ot which
I now claim.
Unwritten Heroism of Fashion-Hidden Women.
One thing must be conceded to
women, namely, the grit to endure
any amount of inconvenience, or
even positive pain, for the sake of
dress. Now men—what failings so
ever they may have, and time would
fail me tc enumerate them—always
to my knowledge, stop short ofphys
ical torture, when they must choose
between that and “the fashion.”
Catch them at it! The good fellows,
loving their ease belter than wives,
houses, or lands, shake their heads
with a most decided negative at light
boots, tight hats, light gloves; and
welcome flannel under-garments
andgdtn shoes, though their propor
tions may be thereby increased. This
much I will say for them. But wo
men!- I have seen them, pale about
the mouth, trying bravely to walk on
ihose absurd pegs of heels run under
the middle of their feet, while every
muscle and joint was crying out in
vain for mercy. 1 have seen them
shivering, with defiant blue noses in
the frosty air. while they tried, inouf
Janua/y snows, to keep their throats
warm with a—necklace! I’ve seen
their fingers looking like stuffed saus
ages, in gloves at least two or three
sizes too small; and when it was
impossible for them to bend one
finger joint. I’ve seen them walk
miles with a heavy water-proof cloak
hanging over their arms, because
(Aaf’silk velvet suit must be worn, at
all costs, and rain would ruin it.
And now, just as every woman ©»f-
sideijf a lunatic asylum ought to re
joice in emancipation from long skirls

be worn. And for one, I am heartiy
glad, when they are, to see a good

they bring others into the world.

Past the hour of sunset, and in the
still gloaming two figures were slow

avenue of oaks lhat led to the dwel

“On, Henri, I am so unhappy!”
“And wherefore, my soul?”
“It seems so wrong to be here
with you without papa’s knowledge,
and when I know, too. that it is a-
gainst his expressed wishes.”
“Your father is hugely prejudiced
against me, on account of my foreign
education, I believe,” said Captain
de Caroll; “but reflect for an in
stant, Maude, and tell me it this is
not great injustice. Maude, Maude,
do you really love me, little one
“How can you doubt it, Henri ?”
“You profess to love,” he went
on, “yet your actions belie the words.
It seems to me that, weie I a woman,
I could not love without trusting;
and tjou dq,not trust me.”
“Oh, Henri!”
“You do not give me the first
place in your heart, Maude: You
will not even bind yourself by an
engagement; and I shall go away
to-morrow, without that blest hope
to cheer me in my absence.”

Rose, who delighted in anything lhat
savored of intrigue and mystery, had
encouraged the general’belief that
she had accompanied him; thus ob

might have perfect and undisturbed
possession of Elsinore. ^
