CHAPTElt II—Continued.
Brief and blissful were the days
lhal followed. Maude seemed to
herself to be living through some
beautiful fairy dream ; Henri was
scarcely ever absent from her side,
and Rose bavins too much lact to
make a third in their walks and rides,
it was as secluded and romantic
as though they were
•‘III Sicilia’s ever blooming shade.”
But political crisis will not wail
on iovers’ leisure, anil ere ibe honey
moon was over, South Carolina had
seceded from the Union, and called
on all her sister States to follow her
lead.
Ii was with a changing cheek that
Captain de Caroll read the announce
ment one morning in the ‘‘Richmond
Examiner.” “1 must delay no long
er now !” he exclaimed, and laying
his finger on the paragraph, placed
the paper before his wife’s eyes.
She only looked up into his face
with an expression ot mute, be
seeching anguish.
“I must leave you to-day, my
soul,” he said.
“Oh Henri!” And her cold fin
gers closed tightly over his.
“You would not have your hus
band a dishonored man, my own
Maude ?”
“Dishonored? never!” And all
the spirit of the “old Dominion”
flashed, in that instant, from her deep
blue eyes. “I will help get you
ready at once.”
“Noble girl:
“Here’s my Spartan wife,” whis
pered Henri, drawing her closer to
him, “I will go forth now to battle
for my countiy’s rights, but when
the war is ended, and I come home
covered with glory, perhaps a gen
eral, Mignon—, your father will then
no longer refuse to receive me as
his son-in-law.”
Thus he caressed and encourag
ed, while, with pale visage but un
complaining lips, she packed his
valise and performed other little of
fices of love.
The hour for departure came all
too soon. “Keep up heart, dear
love,” he murmured, while shower
ing kisses on lip, cheek and brow,
“It will not be for long; I shall re
turn as soon as I have shaken off Un
cle Sam’s shackles, and then my
heart will be lighter. Au revoir my
peri.” And with a final embrace,
he sprang into the saddle and gal
loped off in the direction of the near
est station.
She stood leaning on the little
wicket gate, looking alter him; and
her heart seemed to stand still when
the sound of his horse’s hoofs were
lost in the distance. “Oh, Heaven !
all the light will die out of my fife
until he return,” she moaned, bury
ing her face in her hands, and sink'
ing on her knees on the ground,
“Until he return !”
A” said Rose, warmly.
CHAPTER III.
The Au gel of the Brigade.
PULASKI HOUSE
Savannah, Ga.
WILTBERGER & CARROLL, Prop’.
Child-bride, there is a lie upon
thy soul!
She returned to herTather’s house
the day after her husband’s depar
ture ; but neither by word or look
did she betray to any one her alter'
ed position; aud Colonel Arlington
never dreamed that the blushing
maiden who had left her home little
more ihaua fortnight since, was now
returned to it a wife. The girl ot
seventeen was no longer a child, but
a woman, capable of concealment;
ready to do and to endure.
e pr* * * *
Three weeks passed, and there
was no news of Captain de Caroll*
Maude’s eyes grew hollower, and
there was a false ring in her once
joyous laugh. What she suffered,
none could tell; she confided iu no
one, but
“God knows—and He alone—
The utmost hell ot the deceitful heart.”
Three months passed : and still
no letter, no message, no tidings
whatever ol the absent one. Maude’s
internal anguish of suspense became,
at limes, almost insupportable. Her
health visibly declined, and her fa
ther’s anxiety was awakened on her
account. But still she must bear
her burden alone. Thfe mask could
not be laid aside. Concealment was
more than ever essential, now that
torturing doubts o! her husband’s
fidelity began to creep into her brain.
Col. Arlington’s words were con
stantly ringing in her ear: “He is a
stranger, a Frenchman ; and we
know nothing of him further than his
relationship to Mrs. Iluthven.” A
man of her father’s years must cer'
tainly be belter acquainted with men
and the world than a totally inex
perienced young girl like herself;
and might ii not be that she had in
deed “given the world for love?”
Then she would reject the idea
with indignant scorn, and bitterly re
proach hersell for having harbored,
for an instant, such unworthy sus-
picions. But sometimes, when she
was wandering aimlessly to and fro
in the gallery, where hung the por
traits of all her proud old ancestors,
the thought of her being a forsaken
bride, or deceived maiden, nearly
maddened her. How they would
curse her, “those haughty dead,”
could they know what dishonor she
had brought upon the name !
Mrs. Ruthveu was absent, having
joined her husband in Richmond,
and—strange though it may seem—
her departure was a great relief to
Maude. She had seen Rose but once
since Captain de Caroll went away,
and she had, on that occasion, ex
pressed great surprise and dismay at
his not writing; but could give no
explanation of, or consolation for,
the circumstance. Thus, Maude
felt that it was better for her to take
up her dear burden and bear it in
secret. Beneath her fragile exteri
or, lurked a prodigious spirit; and
her youth, also, was a great advan
tage. This, her firstdove, was fresh
and strong ; and under circumstan-
ces to which a woman of maturer
years and experience might have
succumbed, faith and hope sustained
her.
It must eventually be explained,
she continually told herself, when
the doubts assailed her mind ; and
put all her trust in Time, the magi
cian whose wand was expected to
change the desolate mourning house
of her heart into a place of joy.
But it was weary, waiting.
* * * * ■ -•>; *
Two years passed and the events
that marked their course must be
briefly recapiti lated. It behooves
me not to enter into the details of the
war, for abler pens than mine have
alread}’ depicted the desolation (hat
swept over the laud, “the wreck ol
reason, and the waste W life,” the
ravaging of Southern homes and the
complete ruin in which the whole
Southern country was involved ; and
I hare to deal only wiih the charac-
ters in this story. Immediately up
on the commencement of hostilities,
Colonel Arlington volunteered, was
placed in command of a regiment,
and fell at Cheat Mountain.
A short time after their bereave
ment, Maude and hef little brother,
Roland, (who was then just sixteen)
were one night roused from slumber
by a bright, lurid glare shining into
their windows. Maude sprang fiom
bed, and hurrying to her brother’s
room, found that he, also, was up.
They cfressqty themselves hastily,
and while so doing, old Nellie, their
nurse, ran stealthily up the back
stair-case and came into Maude s
room
Oh, Missie,” she said, trembling
all over, “You jis git yo tings loged-
der, bofonyou, an’ come ’long wid
me, you and Mass Roly. De Yan
kees is on de plhM nqw, and dera
black debbil ot nigger is set fire to
barn and all tie fence. Make a heap
o’ hurry chile!” And collecting a
few articles of clothing together in a
bundle, and taking Maude’s jewel
box and purse, she went to Roland’s
room. “Now, here, Mass Roly,
she said, “you jis pit on my apron
and shawl; nobody is goin to trouble
ole ooman like as dey will young
gentleman,” and without waiting for
his assent, she arrayed him in the
aforesaid garments; and thus dis
guised, he, with his sister followed
her cautiously down the hack stairs
and out of the house. Circumstan
ces seemed to favor their escape;
there was no qaoon, and a large num
ber of the negroes, carrying torches,
were gathered in front of the house.
Undiscovered they made their wav
toward a secluded woodland path;
and just as they were entering it,
two horses ran past, with their manes
flying wild, and evidently in a great
state of terror.
“It i3 Mabel and Rollo,” whisper
ed Maude; and looking back, she
saw lhal the stable was in flames.
“The hoises would be of great
service to ns,” said Roland, and he
called softly to Rollo, who, recog
nizing his master’s voice, turned
round and came up to him; seem
ing, by a remarkable sagacity, to
comprehend their danger, be did not
neigh, but suffered Roland to mount
him. Mabel followed his example,
and Maude, seizing the flowing
mane, sprang lightly on her back.
‘Which route shall we take?”
asked Roland.
“To General Lee’s headquarters,”
replied his sister; and they urged
the horses lorward. It was hard
riding, barebacked and with no bet'
ter bridles than the halters; but a
merciful Providence guided the
steeds and sped them on their flight.
They would have taken old Nellie
with them, bui she preferred to re
main, and“there was no time to be
lost in persuading. They had not
proceeded a mile when they heard
the sound of distant shouting; and
pausing for an instant, on a slight
eminence which commanded a view
of the grounds, they perceived that
the dwelling house had been fired.
Maude’s “heart grew hot within
her” at the sight. The grand old
pile, where generations fit Arling
ton had lived, feasted and ruled,
like the old baronial mouarebs of
Feudal Times, was now one mass of
rocking flames; and around it, in
wild carnival, danced the dusky de
mons who, but one week before, bad
sworn eternal fidelity to the orphan
brother and sister. With a sharp,
suppressed ory of pain, Maude turn
ed her head away, and urged Mabel
rapidly forward. They rode all
night, and early next morning came
in sight of the Confederate camp at
Valley Mountain. Roland threw
himself from the horse, and tearing
off his disguise, lilted his half-faint
ing sister in his arms and placed her
on her feet. They had made the
best of their time, and both horses
and riders were terribly jaded. Ma
bel and Rollo were given in charge
to a soldier, who respectfully offered
bis services ; while another conduct
ed them to the General’s tent.
The pale, beautyful girl, dressed
in deep mourning, with her golden
hair dishevelled and her large eyes
hollow from sorrow and unrest,
would have inspired compassion ev
en in a more rugged breast than that
of the chivalrous Lee; and fears
rose to the soldier’s eyes, as he ex
tended his hand in welcome. Their
situation was briefly explained, then
Roland applied lor Admission into
the army.
“Willingly,” replied the General,
“and I doubt not that the son of the
gallant and lamented Colonel Ar
lington will soon prove himself wor
thy ol his father’s sword 1 .'”
The youth flushed delightedly, as
he bowed his acknowledgment of
this gracious speech; then' Lee
turned to Maude. “ And y tyu^pnadmja,
what wifi yoU«UbTJ ami ’ibu (ssw* !
“What l am going to ask. Gener
al,” she replied,, speaking in a low,
steady voice, “Will doubtless Seam
strange to you ;"but my brother is
everything in the world to me. and
I do not wish to part from him. My
good horse and I can makeoursetVes
useful in a thousand ways. ,1 might
carry dispatches, and feel vhaf; 1
could render efficient service «s a
spy ;—Oh General, let ine be with
Roland
The General looked grave. “Have
you no relations with whom you
might stay he asked.
“I have an aunt id Richmond,”
she replied, “but oh, sir, do not sep :
arate me from my brother; we are
all in all to .each other. Just try
me for a month in camp, and if I am
in the way at all, I promise to go to
Richmond and stay there ; but only
give me a trial!”
“Are you aware, Miss Arlington,
that you would encounter great dan
gers, and endure many hardships ?”
“I am prepared to brave all dan'
ger and share all hardship,” she an
swered resolutely; and it was final
ly agreed upon that she should he
appointed regimental courier, with
the rank of lieuienant.
The brother and sister shortly af
terward, accompanied General Lee
to the Kanawha region, whither he
went to relieve Wise aud Floyd;
and Roland, who, of course, entered
as a private, was, in his first battle,
promoted to the rank of sargearit.
Maude, also, proved that her boast
had not been a vain one ; for she be
came an important adjunct to the ar
my. On her beautilul Mabel, who
was presented by the officers with a
handsome side-saddle and belong
ings, she trequently rode whole days
at a time, carrying dispatches, and
really played the part of spy in a
most masterly and ingenious man
ner, often going into the enemy’s
lines, disguised, and gleaning valua
ble scraps of information relative to
his movements. Her iavorite dis
guise was that of a little country
girl, with tattered sun bonnet and
bare feet, selling fruit; hut she some
limes attired herself as a rustic lad,
and in- both characters, was most
successful in escaping suspicion. A
portion of bei time was spent in
Richmond, but she was a great deal
in the camp. The sight of her,
mounted on her elegant mare, and
dressed in her sable habit, (for she
continued to wear mourning all thro’
the war) with her golden hair and
large spirituelte eyes, so beautiful
and fearless, seemed to inspire the
soldiers, who named her “the Angel
of the Brigade,” and regarded her
with a sentiment approaching deifi
cation.
And Maude, with her dark sor
row locked in her heart, found in
this active and adventurous life, the
best safe-guard against corroding
thoughts. An ordinary domestic
existence, or the mournful routine of
a hospital could never have afforded
this stimuls to her brain and slav
ed off the madness which would, un-
doubtedly, otherwise, have obtained
possession of it. And thus the years
fled.
(To be continued.)
The Northern press is filled with
the disgusting details of the trial of
Laura Fair, who killed one Critten
den, her paramour, in California some
lime ago. The defence is mental
aberration, and from a medical {joint
of view it can ne longer be a matter
of wonder that Mrs Fair killed Col
onel Crittenden. For a person in
the condition in which she is re; re'
sented to have been when she com
mitted the deed, murder or suicide
was an apparently inevitable, alter'
native. That she cbpse the former
.Was a sort of constitutional accident.
According to the testimony of Dr.
Lyiord, she was at the time “ameme,”
and had also “retrocedent gout,”
“metatasis,” “dismenorrhea,” “cata-
menicals” and “insomanis,” besides
being subject to “idiosyncracies.”
£ny person laboring under such a
Complication of polysyllabic disord
ers coiiid find relief in nothing short
of murder, and it the jury does not
acquit Mrs. Fair on this testimony
it will be because they are more in
telligent than most juries. Dt.
Lyford is said to be only thirty two
years of ago, but he seems V6 be a
young man of remarkable promise.

TESTING HE3 LOVE.
A man named Shuman, residing in
South Baltimore, has of late enter
tained an idea that his wife does not
love him with that ardor which
should characterize a wife for her
husband, and in order to test her
affection for him he on Wednesday
penned a note to her, in which he
stated that he had insured his life for
$2,000, and the she could collect
the insurance when be ceased to
live, which event would transpire
ere she read the note, as he intended
to drow himself in the Spring Gard
ens at Ferry Bar bridge. The letter
was handed to a small boy, with the
request that he delh'er it into the
hands ol Mrs. Shuman, but the boy
mistaking the directions given him,
left the note at the house of a friend
of Mrs. S. The friend read the note,
and naturally supposing that suicide
was premeditated by Shuman, she
called Policeman Bunting and im
parted to him her suspicions. The
policeman instantly started for Ferry
Bar, and when near that structure
discovered Shuman walking leisure
ly toward the water.
The officer called to Shuman to
halt for a moment, but instead of
complying with the request he ran
upon the bridge, where he calmly a-
waited the coming ol the officer, who,
without entering into a conversation,
conducted Shuman to the station
house, and on the way there the sup
posed would'be-suicide and his pre
server were followed by a large
crowd of adults and children who
had heard of the contents of the let
ter, and which had been promulga
ted by the lady who had received it.
Shuman, after being taken to the
station house, explained that he had
noentention ofdrowninghimself, but
that he had sent the note to his wife
for the purpose of ascertaining how
she wouid be affected by the news.
Captam Delanty therefore ordered
his release. After quilting the station
house Shuman returned to his home
expecting to find his wife in hysterics
but was disappointed. On the con
trary, she was as composed as a
person could be, and appeared sur
prised that her husband had not
drowned himselfas he had promised
to do. Baltimore Gazette.
