liy ibe banks of the Danube,

u comfortable farm house, sur
rounded by smiling fields that
| showed plainly thrift and culture.
At the time we write of, the
i plains of //uugary were the scenes
of many a desperate fight.
Count Tekeli the Hungarian
hero, had takes up arms against
the Austrian oppressor. Desper
ate had been the attempt of the
soldiers of the empire to crush
Tekeli, but he kept the field and
bid defiance to the power of the ty
rant.
Under the shelter of a stalely
oak that fluDg its thick branches
to the breeze close by the door of
the farm house, s ood an old man
j and a young girl.
The man was called Matthias :
;he was the owner of ihe little
j tarin. The girl was his niece, Yel
( va, and known tlirougboui the
j country', far and near.as the “Flow
i er of Zoiubar.’’
She was the fairest maid that
e’er the sun shone on, in loving
kindnebs, *n all me fair Hungarian

said the old mau, who had just
returned from the village, whose
spires could be seen in the dis
tance.
“News—well ?” q -estioned the
giri.and there was an anxious
look upon her lace.
"Yes; dost thou remember the
lad whom thy harshness drove to
a soldier’s life, Red Oth >. as the
village lads called him ?”
“It was not my fault if I could
not love him,” said the girl, proua
-J
--“Tush, thou wilt never love
anyone,” cried ihe old man. impa
tiently. “The flattery of thy lov
ers has turned thy brain. But,
to return to Otho. He has won
a brave name for himself, and now
commands a regiment in the Hun
garian army. He is near a' hand,
and ai nightfall wilt visit us.”
"Why not before ?”
“And run the risk of b ing sur
prised by some of the Austrian
'roopers who are quartered in
yonder village? The biiter curse
of an oppressed and down trod
den people rest upon them 1" cried
the old man iQ anger.
“There is but little danger, ’
Yelva said, absently, her thoughts
apparently far away from the su «-
jeer on which she /poke.
“You do not spank w ith judge
ment when you say that, Thrice
h'.iV3l seeu one of the Austrian
officers loitering near us; a weli
looaing fellow enough, a/though
he wears the hated uniform of our
foes. ’
The girl started slightly a‘ the
mention of tne young officer, and
cast a hasiy glance, full of appre
henston. into the face of the oil
ina.i.
“Ob, do uot fear,” continued
Matthias, misunderstanding the
meaning of the glance. "He will
not be apt to trouble us, unless
be catches a glimpse of thy preby
face. But, Otho, girl will you see
him to-night
“Why, of course, uncle!” Ye/va
replied quickly; “you know that 1
love him like o brother-”
“A broluer, aud he loves thee
almost as much as he does his
oonalry, for whose sake he faces
the bullets of the Austrians.—
Heaven grant that when you do
love, that your lover may not treat
you with same cold distain that
you have showed upon all wh 0
have knelt to you.”
The words of 'he old man seem
ed like a present ment of evil to
the girl. They chilled the heart

j “I »m goii i. for a walk, uncle,’
; she said, sudd.-n'y; “I w ill be back
before nightfa.,” - hen w.th a light
step she walked d■ vn the river s
bank.
Matthias watched her until the
wood hid her from his view.
Pray heaven that her pride
meets with no fall,’’ he muttered,
as he entered the house.
The girl nastened on, ever anon
casting an earnest glance behind
her to make sure that, she was not
followed. But she had no cause
tor apprehension ; the birds of
the wood alone noted tier eager
footsteps.
In a litt/e opening in the wood
stood a young man. A handsome
fellow, with his pure Saxon face
The long yellow hair hung down
almost to his shoulders from un
der the swing fatigue cap; his
eyes were dark blue, handsome
eyes, but with a restless, shifting
look. The white uniform that the
young mau wore told that he was
was an officer in the Austrian
service-
ith a glad smile upon her
face, the girl haslened, with out
stretched arms, toward the young
mau.
The truth was plain ; the bunga
can girl, Zoinbt.r s flower, loved
one of her country’s foes.
A straDge expression was upon
the fuce of the young man, as he
coldly returned the warm embrace
of Yelva.
The quick instincts of the wo
man warned her of coming evil.
"Leopold, what is the matter?"

more restless than ever.
“Yes; there is something the
matter, lam sure ot it lour
manner toward me tells me so,’
the girl said, sorrowfully.
“Yelva, you have guessed aright
the officer said slowly. “I have
deceived you.”
‘‘Deceived me!” Y’elva exclaim
ed, a «trange 6tonv look coming
over her fair face.
“Yes ; you know me only as Cap
tain Leopold. My name is Leo
pold, but lam a colonel in the
Austrian service, and I bear ibe
title of Count of Lanberg."
“You a noble 1” Yelva cried, in
amazement,
“Yes.”
“And do you no longer love me?
thp girl aske I a terrible accent in
her voiee.
“Why, of course. Yelva; what
pm that thought into your nead V
Leopold asked, it tones that were
strangely confused.
“Your manner, if not your
words. Leopold, do not try to de
ceive ine ; I am but a simple girl,
but there is some subtle instinct
in my nature which tells me you
are about to break the faith you
swore to me Speak out frankly ;
I can bear it, You see lam
ea'm.”
And so she was, but, though
her face was stone, tierce passions
were surging wildly through her
heart. Her calmness was but the
preiude to the tempest.
“Yelva, I will be frank with
you,” the Aus'rian said, slowly.
“H-avbn is my witness that I love
you as well now as 1 did the mo
ment yon first confessed yvur pas
sion for me, and I folded you to
my heart, my promised brde;
but”—and he paused
“But what ?” asked Yelva, with
eyes that flashed strangely, and a
face white as the driven snow.
“I am a ward of the emperor:
he has absolute power over me. I
am ordered to return to Viena at
once.”
“Return to Viena ! Leave me |
the girl gasped.
••Yes; but that is not the
worst news. Iu \ iene, by the em
peror’s orders, / am to be mar
ried.”
“Marriedt” Yelva's breath came
thick and fast. She pressed her
hand convulsively upon, her heart.
She fell as if the gates of death
were about to unu’ose before her-
Alarmed, Leopold supported hei
in his arms.
■‘You faint, dear Yelva! he

at the anguish of the girl.

“Fly fiom the power of the em

“YV hat, forsake my country and

gathering on his face.
“What have I not given up for

I no- a Hungarian, a native ot the
laud that your soldiers are tread

shod hoofs of theH’mguriau steeds
trample you to death: and in yc ur
last hour, think of the weak and
foolish girl who trusted Jto you r
plighted word and sacrificed all
foe you.’’
The Austriau cowed b°neath the
fiery speech like a whipped cur.
“Yelva,” he murmured, as if to
beg her to rec.,'l her words.
“Speak no'!” the girl cried in
contempt. "Go, false keart. and
forget my cuise if you can !”
A single augr- glance Leopold
cast at the girl, and ihea disap
peared in tlie wood.
A moment Yelva atood motion
senseless to the ground.
When she recovered tier senses
a sta'wart man, dressed in the
garb of a Hungarian soldier, beat
over her.
A single "lance Yelva gave in
to the red-bearded face and she
recognized its owner.
“Otho!’’ she murmured.
“The same. Y elva, ’’ be replied.
It was indeed the Hungarian
youth, who, because she would not
ove him, hud become a soldier
and won a name second to none
in TekelVs army.
Otho assisted Yelva to rise.
“Otho, why do you come here*’
she asked, faintly.
“Can I trust you ? Do you love
vour country ?” he asked.
“I am a true Hungarian girl,"
she replied.
, “In Zombar is an Austrian regi
ment. When darknese covers the
earth, I shall lead my soldiers to
the attack.
“An Auelrian regiment !” she
murmured.
“Yes, commanded hv a young
sprig of nobility, Leopold, Count
of Lamlerg.’’
Yelva started at the name.
•‘Otlio, you once said you loved
me,” she exclaimed suddenly.
“And do so still; better than mv
liye!” be cried.
“Wba* would you do to gain
my lo»e ?”
"Anything possible or impossi
ble !”
“Bring me the head of the Aas
trian colonel, the Coun of Lam
berg, and lam yours !” she said
wi‘h white lips.
“I’ll doit, tbougti a thousand
Austrian soldiers b mmed him

mination.
•*Yon see I am a true daughter
of Hungary!” she said with a bit
ter accent.
‘Yes; I honor you for it!" repii
ed the soldier, in admiration.
“Ytlien will you accomplish the

The two parted.
When darkness veiled the earth
and the stars shone clear in the
inky sky, Yelvs stood at the door
of the farm house and listened.
Heur succeeded hour ; yet, like
a staiue, at the door she stood.
Then on the breezy wings of the
night air came the sounds of
str,le. »Sboi succeeded shot in

THE MECHANICAL COTTON

The ( harleston News and Cou

thority, that thv public wi'l have
to curb its impatience in regard
to the Mason Cotton Harves

eompauy owning the invention
to place any of tlie Machines on
the market during the present
season. A half dozen machines
have constructed of different sizes
auo patterns, and tests wt,d im
provojnents are be ; ng almost con
stantly made.
It appears that the tests show
that the machines are yet far from
perfect, and the wisdom of <he
•
year is, subsequently, fu’ly vendi
cated. It is claimed that many
imperfections in construction
have been correc'ed. and that the

machinery scarcely needs any
further improvement. The troub
hie he encounters is tlieapperaDt -

machine porsists in throwing a
good portion of i‘. upon the

During nearly ten years I! -ok was
a member of the Sioux tribe. The,
story of How he ran the gauntlet j
is thus told :
" e ‘Kd not know what fate
awaited us. But we had scarce
ly arrived at ihe Indian camp
than were given to understand
ihat wo would have to run the
gauutlet. 'This consisted iu run
mg between two lineß braves, 500
in each line, and taking all the
blows that ibase could give us
while we made ihe run which was
tw ce up and twice down ‘lie line
Tin lines were' just far enough
apart to give us room to run. a
line of guns being placed along on
each side, between us and the In
dians, wl ich could not be crossed
|by either us or tlie -Indians we
were compelled io keep within tlie
line, and the indinua were not n!
lowed io leave tl eir positions m
tlie line, but could inflict all the
punishment possible while we
were in reach of t hem. Tlie In
dians were armed with sticks moo
casins and every thing that could
bo uled to strike with a nature
that would inflict pain without do
ing great bodily injury, but strict
ly with a kind of cat- o'-nine-tails
used by the indiaus in riding their
ponies. J his is a tenable weapon
of lead. There were a large num
ber ot squaws in the lines in addi
ti >nto the bravos, who appeared
to take as strong ail interest iu
tlie matter as the latter.
We were stripped naked with
the exception of breech-clouts
which weie given us. I was plac
ed first in line of twenty-five, the
run being tnude by all together
in a single file. This was a decid
eil advantage to me, as 1 could go
as fast as I liked, not having to
depend upon the speed of others,
A friendly Indian, the one) who
Imd encouraged me at first, signal
ed me, giving me io understand
that I w is to run as fast as I could
I did not need the advice after I
got well started, but it served me
until 1 g"t past /he first dozen, as
1 started while they were chatting
among themselves. But the rest
of tlie way 1 got i*, T tell you. I
just ran for dear life, taking die
blows as they came. I could not
repress someexc/amations of pain,
as the whips cut into my flesh,but
I managed to keep from disgrac
ing myself in the minds of the In
dians, although suffering terribly
at everv blow received ”
“Did many of them miss you. ’
“After the first dozen none that
I know of. 7 hey laid on the
blows as hard as they could, but
conformed strickly to their law,
which is not to leave thsir place
in the line to inflict further pun
ishment. When I reached the
end of the line the first time I
was covered with blood and thor
oughly winded, being scarcely
able to stand. VFe managed to
get through with our live*, not
