I wish to state a few of my close calls. I was a member of Company E. Four teenth Georgia regiment. Thomas bri gade. Wilcox's division. Stonewall Jack son's “Old Foot” cavalry, so-called. I volunteered July IX IMI. snd served as 'a soldier through the war. I volunteer ed with the first company that was made up in this (Forsyth) county. I was in nearly all the battles from Seven Pines up to the sixth of May in the Wilder ness. There on that morning on the plank road the Yankees flanked our bri gade and killed and wounded many of our boys. - Among the killed were our gallant Colonel Folsom, of my regiment, and our beloved Captain Sim David, two of our bravest officers. When we were ordered to fall back I ran back across the plank road and ran in behind a column of Yankees. Seeing I was behind them. 1 lay down, thinking that our boys that had escaped would soon rally and drive the Yankees back and recapture me. but there was anoth er line of Yankees just in rear of where I lay down that saw me and ordered me to surrender. I got up and picked up my gun and a Yankee captain ordered me to throw down my gun. I broke my gun off at the breech over a log and gave bp to him. It was but a short time until Long street came to the relief of our brigade and drove the Yankees back, and saved that part of our line. That was a close call for our entire brigade. Our brigade was in the march with Stonewall Jackson when we went around General Pope and captured Manassas Junction and brought on the second Ma- Unwritten Facts in Georgia History. BY GEORGE G. SMITH, D. D. XTnevllle. Macon. Georgia. in every history of Georgia there is a brief mention of the facts I have tr.ed to bring out in greater fullness. If a historian were to incorporate in one book all that beats upon the his tory he would make a book so volum inous that no one could have time to read it. but if he is faithful he will pass over nothing of importance with out giving it as fair and full a treat ment as possible. This Bishop Stevens and after him Colonel Jones have done when treating of the distinguished Episcopal ministers of whom I write. John and Charles WeMey were brothers—John the elder by eight years. They were both in Oxford at the university. John a Fellow and Charles having but just received his degree, and his ordination as an Episcopal priest. They were both of them unmarried and were intensely religious. They belonged to a little society which John had founded which was derisively called the Holy Club, or the Methodist society. It was the object of Mr. Oglethorpe and the trustees to make the Georgia colony a model one and a clergyman was brought out with the first ship load of emigrants. He returned to En gland and died on his way home. The next, Mr. Quincy. s only remained a ; year and when Mn Oglethorpe went back to England he sought for an other clergyman. Mr. John Wesley was commended to him. When he laid the case before him and Mr. Wesley saw the opening for a great Indian mission for which the pastorate of a village chnrch would be a preparation, he conaented to come and his brother Charles decided to come with him. Mr.* Oglethorpe made Charles his sec retary and chaplain. Others of the holy club—Mr. Ingham. Mr. Delamotte agreed to come to help in the mission field. So they took shipping with Mr. Oglethorpe and -alas for poor John Wesley’s peaceful. life in the new field, one of the passengers was a fair ydung girl. Her name aj given -by Mr. Wes ley s biographer, Henry, Moore, was Sophia Hopkey. but Colonel. Jones says Sophia Hopkins. I think Colonel Jones is right. Mr. Wesley was an extreme high churchman, whose mys tical ' and ascetic views were of the more pronounced kind. He and his companions held services on the slow sailing ship which was carrying him beyond the sea and spent their inter vals in study. Mr. Wesley taught the Germans English and they taqght him German. The charming Sophia be came very much interested in religious matters and sympathized very deeply, with this little group of despised Meth odists, and So the leader of them all became very much interested in her. The result was as might have been expected. The handsome young' cler gjffian fell in love with the fair maid. He never-proposed 1 marriage, but he thought very deeply about it. The Ger mans on board were a little doubtful as to Miss Sophia’s earnestness, and when after they reached Savannah Mr. Wesley consulted one of them about closing up matters by a proposal of marriage they said nay. Miss Sophia had good reason to lock for a definite proposition, but when l s did not come and evidently was not coming, she was deeply hurt, but like a sensible girl, did not die of a broken heart, but sim ply married a nice young man in the new village There was not a breath of scandal in the whole affair. Mr. Wesley did not expect or intend to remain in Savannah. He wanted to go to the Indians amd found a mis sion station, but there was no rector and he went into the little two roomed cabin among the pines which was the parsonage and began his work. He had service at 5 o'clock in the morning, communion eveir Sunday, preaching at 11 and catechised the chil dren at 3 and preached again at night. He relished those frequent services more than his parishioners did. Some of them were dissenters, most of them were sinners and some of them repro bates. but he was not going to abate one tithe of the demands the church made. A mother wanted her babe baptised. The ancient rubric said a babe must be baptised by immersion unless it was weak, but the little Georgian was a lusty fellow and his parents could not plead that he was not able to take the Immersion, and as they did not want it he was not christened till Mr. Whitfield came. Rome of the people were a little bet ter off as to footgear than others, and when a stout lad went barefpoted to school and was ridiculed the brave parson took off his shoes and walked THE SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, CEOKQTX. IIOImDXY, OCTOBER 14, 1901 nassas battle, where I had a very close call. Our regiment was on an old railroad and was ordered to hold our position at all hasards. The Yankees charged us many times that day. but we held our ground. It was in one of these charges that I had two holes shot through my hat brim and thirteen holes shot through mv new United States blanket that I had got the day before at Manassas. At the same time the man on my right was killed and the man on my left was severely wounded in two places. Don'* you think that a very close call not to be hurt? I had my blanket rolled up and strapped around my shoulders. I think there must have passed through my blanket two or three balls. One ball made the two holes through my bat brim. At the battle of Fredericksburg I re ceived a wound in my right leg. from which I am a cripple. On that day our company took 29 men into the battle and had 19 wounded and not one killed. Our brigade was composed of the Fourteenth, Thirty-fifth, Forty-fifth and Forty-ninth Georgia regiments, and commanded last by gallant General E. L. Thomas. I have seen very little in your valua ble paper from my regiment or brigade. Speak out, comrades, and let us hear from you. I* H. HOPE, Co. E, 14th Ga. Reg. Oscarville.

A good Presbyterian came to the Lord’s table, but he would not give him tha sacred elements. It was not likely that one who had such a sense of duty would allow a flagrant violation of church law to pass without rebuke, even though it cost him much sorrow, and so he was brought face to face with his duty to ward Miss Sophey, now Mrs. William son. She had been talking too much and talking about her minister. There was but little hope in a gossiping vil lage. where Miss Sophey's folks were the leading people, that her enemies would fall to tell him of her derelic tion, so it came to his ears. Could he give her the communion after sueh conduct unless she repented? He was a kinsman of Arthur, Duke of Wel lington. and never knew what fear was. and he resolved that Miss So phey should make repair of her wrong, and the next Sunday after he had giv en her fair notice when she came to the table, he passed her by. Charles did that same thing to an old reprobate in London and was fined for it. Mr. Canston. who was store keeper and magistrate, arraigned Mr. Wesley before his court for his course toward his fair niece, for such she was. To have a little shopkeeper, a justice of the peace, to arraign a clergyman, a fellow of Lincoln’s Inn, for a violation of ecclesiastical law was provoking enough, but to have him on one pretxet or another to re fuse to give him a trial on the charge of libelling a lady was worse, and Mr. Wesley was Justly Indignant. The storekeeper was an Important personage and the parson was not a popular man, so the congregation fell off until there was but a handful but one feels almost a pleasure when the petty tyrant was called to open his books for the Inspection of Mr. Stephens? agent of the trustees, and displaced from his position. Before, however, the • storekeeper was displaced and the magistrate re tired. Mr. Stephens came from Eng land. ’ He was a devout churchman and went to church but found few people there. He soon found the cau’se of the trouble and decided to settle It and so went to the parson’s for break fast.- "The whole town he says wis now involved, a young woman. Miss Canston (he calls her) married a young Williamson, whom the parson liked himself;-she used to receive the sacrament weekly and used to go to Mr. Wesley for pastoral instruction but after her marriage she ceased and Mr. Wesley refused her the sacra ment." - The court convened, and Mr. Cans ton and Mr. Parker and Mr. Christie complained that Mr. Wesley harran gued the people who came to court so that the magistrates were afraid of being mobbed. Mr. Wesley continued to preach and Mr. Stephens tried to quiet things and reconcile the two par ties, but in vain. Mr. Wesley finally posted a notice that he was going to England and so despite Mr. William son's proclamation that he had .sued him for a thousand pounds damages, for libelling his wife one afternoon about dusk with two companions, he . took advantage of the high tide and went ■to Perrysburg, S. C„ and from thence to Charleston and on to Eng land. - - • ■ ’ Thia is the only love affair and re ligious squabble recorded on the pages of Georgia history? • Mr. Wesley was not a Methodist in the modern sense, when he was tn Sa vannah. but his Intercourse with the Germans, led to his acquaintance with Peter Bohler, and to his becoming a Methodist in 1738, three years after this. He never ceased to be an Epis copalian but was a Methodist Episco palian. Poor Charles, his sensitive younger brother, had even a more trying time in the woods and camp on St. Simon's island than John in Savannah. Mr. Oglethorpe was prejudiced against him and became for a time alienated from - him. The people would not put up with his rigid requirements, and even the women quarreled with him. He was sick in body and sick in heart and after a fruitless work among the immigrants and the soldiers, he de cided to return to England where he went and after great trials on the way he reached London again. Here he too accepted the teaching of Peter Bohler and became a Methodist. Ingham taught a school in Tomo chichi town and tried to do some work among the Indians but gave it up and returned to England where he married Lady Betty Hastings and was a country parson until he died. Charles Delamotte taught the first free school and as for that the first school of any kind in Georgia, unless there was one at Ebenezer. Os Mr. Whitfield’s stay I will write in another article.

Every man who can make a cent out of the city is proud of IL” Battle of the Wilderness; Gen. ffacksons Last Fight Being a Confederate veteran and dis posed to pay tribute to the deserving, I come to ask space in your valuable paper to relate the little I know of the memo rable battle of the Wilderness—the battle in which the Confederacy lost one of its star leaders and generals, ‘‘Stonewall" Jackson. It is known how Jackson maneuvered his corps In getting it to the rear and on the right of the enemy’s line, the last day of his valuable service to the cause he espoused, and how much thos* following him as their leader realized their loss, as did the army of the Potomac. Tn getting his corps to the point where he received tha wound that caused his death, he marched on a road running par allel with the Federal line. On this road was an old stone building, a furnace of some kind, and the nearest point to the enemy's lines. A part of the Twenty-third Georgia regiment, of which I was a member, was at this place, detached and placed on picket In a nick of woods north of the furnace. Major Ballenger (later colonel) commanded the right wing of skirmishers and myself the left, with or ders if we had to, to fan back firing. Here suffer me to digress: While here on picket I had the pleasure of seeing and conversing with one of the great cavalry generals of our army. General J. E. B. Stuart. He came to the picket line, where I was stationed, and requested me to accompany him to the front. We advanced to the edge of an old field; on the far side of the field troops in blue cotlid be seen without number. We re mained in view a few minutes, observing their maneuvers, and sffw a line of skirm ishers form from the main line, and march into the field towards us. General Stuart turned to me and said: "Captain, they are coming; be ready for them.” "That was the first and last time I saw General Stuart. But to return to the subject in hand. By the time I was back at post and had the line in readiness, the line in blue was seen advancing, and the ball opened. We did as ordered, taking trees for shel ter when convenient. In getting back to where the regiment was when detached, we found it had left. Amid a melee of bul lets I looked up the road to see if I could Natives of Georgia. in St. Louis. Natives of Georgia who are prominent citizens of St. Louis met at the office of McPheeters & Harris in that city on the evening of October 3d, for the purpose of arousing interest among the people of this state in the world s fair at St. Louis in 1903. ” . ' The world’s fair at St. Louis will cost something like $30,000,000 exclusive of the value of lands and exhibits. The plans so far perfected call for the largest building ever erected, covering an area of thirty-two acres, several others cover ing seventeen acres each, and another group covering nine acres each, making a total approaching 200 under roof. These buildings are in addition to the state and foreign buildings, which are ex pected to materialize in large number. The site of the expoplti.Oti Is Forest Park l i the western section' of the city, and about 1,200 acres are devoted to this pui pose. , . In addressing the,people of Geors'.a, these former citizens aqa, natives of, the state say: "As patriotic sons of qur beloved sunny south, though somewhat removed, we still love her old traditions and customs and the general air of hospitality and chival rous courtesy that pervades the whole at mosphere of that chosen section; and we have her best interest at heart, and take just as much pride in her marvelous pro gress and advancement filong all material lines as though we were at present dom iciled there in full view of her broad fields of cane and cotton, automatically casting our ballots for.' the Democratic nominee and hurrahing at the sound of "Dixie” or drawing the bell-cord over the back of the traditional Georgia mule. ’ "The committee on legislation is press ing forward with, all possible rapidity, arranging for the exhibits from the sev eral states and territories, as well as from our island possessions. And one of the last official acts qf our late lamented chief ftiagistrate was to issue a proclamation under the seal of the Uplted States gov ernment, bearing date of the 20th day of August, inviting ‘all nations of the to take part in tne commemoration of the purchase of the Louisiana territory, an event of great interest to the United States and Os abiding effect on their de velopment, by appointing representatives and senaing such exhibits to the Louis iana Purchase exposition as will most fittingly and fully illustrate their re sources, their industries, and their pro gress in clvinzation.’ “Let us emphasize, too, that the Louis iana Purchase exposition is a living, pres ent enterprise, and not a conjectural scheme that will have its part to take in public attention some time in the future. The most beautiful and available site to be found in and around St. Louis has been selected and legally set apart, and work has already been begun. “Our martyred president indorsed the proposition most heartily, and named a national commission composed of men of such rare and peculiar fitness as was characteristic of his every official act dur ing the four and a half years of his term in office. Our new president, too, fully ap preciates the magnitude and importance of the enterprise, and la enthusiastically favorable to it. He has promised to use his influence in favor of all national legis lation and other action which may be needed for the proper celebration of the Louisiana annexation centennial. "The institution is non-partisan in its intent and purpose, patriotic in its origin, world-wide in its scope and deserves the support of every true American citizen. It will inevitably succeed in a handsome measure, for no other project of this sort ever had so many and so powerful friends as are at the service of the world’s fair to be held in St. Louis, and every citizen should take the keenest interest in seeing that his state is fully repre sented. "The management has enlisted in its service the most skilled and efficient men, experienced in the promotion and direction of expositions and like enter prises, and it is the verdict of all that in 1903 there will be opened in this city an exposition of such scope and magni tude as will scorn comparison. It has been broadly advertised, too. and the people of this city are busily engaged making prep arations to receive and entertain the larg est crowds that have ever been assem bled on such occasions. "Now. in view of these facts, it does not require a prophet or the son of a prophet to see that Georgia would reap incalculable benefit by being represented here with an exhibit on a comprehensive basts, fully commensurate with the resources and wealth; and. being fully appreciative of the progressive spirit of her cltzens that has marked her recent history, we fully believe that when the people and the legislature realize the mag nitude of this exposition, they will feel that they cannot afford to allow the Em pire State of the South not to be fully and adequately represented. . "There is every reason why Georgia should take affirmative. action and that promptly too. The legislature meets on the 24th day of October, prior to any of the other states yet to act, and by taking prompt action and making a liberal ap propriation. Georgia can get one of the most desirable allotments of space to be had. Furthermore, you already have in- LacL t-Jjp exhibit which wu prepared for find away out; if I could not find the regiment. Some distance above I observ ed the last of a company of the regiment entering a railroad cut. Without further firing by us, we made for the same in double quick order. « Major Ballenger on arriving where the regiment was left, and not finding it. hoisted a white flag and there surren dered. After entering the cut I approach ed the colonel and we had exchanged a few words when a courier dashed up to where we were standing and said to the colonel it was ordered by some general that he should get his men out of there as best he could. We could all see the dan ger in being captured if we remained. The colonel's order to me and to the officer in command of the adjoining com pany was to get our men out the best we could and to pass the order down the line; this was done. The colonel left and I followed with a portion of my company, and a few from other companies, about 40 in all: those that remained were captured. In making our exit we were exposed to the fire of the enemy from front and flank, and if I ever experienced a closer call I am not aware of it. The Federals were so near the entire command could not have escaped had all been so disposed. Charges were preferred against the colo nel and he was cashiered for not remain ing with his command and being captured with them. That may be in accord with miltary discipline, but I will take the risk in running the gauntlet before exposing my carcass in such prisons as Rock Is land and Fort Delaware in time of war. W. G. L.

Although physicians have known for years that catarrh was not a local disease but a con stitutional or blood disorder, yet the mass of the people still continue to believe it Is simply a local trouble and try to cure it with purely local remedies, like powders, snuffs, ointments and inhalers. These local remedies, if they accomplish any thing at all, simply give a very temporary re lief and It is doubtful If a permanent cure of catarrh has ever been accomplished by local sprays, washes and Inhalers. They may clear the mucous membrane from the excessive se cretion but it returns in a few hours as bad as ever, and the result can hardly be otherwise because the blood Is loaded with catarrhal poison and it requires no argument to convince anyone that local washes and sprays have ab solutely no effect on the blood. Dr. Ainsworth says, "I have long since dis continued the use of sprays and washes for catarrh of head and throat, because they sim ply relieve and do not eure. For some time past I have used only one treatment for all forms of catarrh and the results have been uniformly good, the remedy I use and recommend la Stuart'* Catarrh Tab lets, a pleasant and harmless preparation sold by druggists at 50c.. but my experience has proven one package of Stuart’s Catarrh Tablets to be worth a dozen local treatments. The tablets are composed of Hydrasttn, San gulnaria. Red- Gum. Guaiacol and other safe antiseptics and any catarrh sufferer can use them with full assurance that they contain no poisonous opiates and that they are the most reasonable and successful treatment for radical cure of catarrh at present known to the pro fession.” Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are large, pleasant tasting 2° grain losengee, to be dissolved in the mouth and reach the delicate membranes of throat and trachea, and immediately relieve any Irritation, while their final action on the blood remove* the catarrhal poison from the whole system.

(Copyrighted, 1901. by Short Story Company.) . . ? ,' t >i Alice Keene was by odds the prettiest girl in Midville, and; notwithstanding she was so poor—she was compelled to earn her own living by the sweat of her typewriter, she was popular witfc every body, and no social gathering in the gay and lively little town was complete with out her. Among her best friends were those of prominent position in the town, 1 and her dearest stand-by under all cir cumstances was Florence Crandall, who had more money in a minute than Alice ever hoped to have in a lifetime. The two girls were nearly the same age—let us say a little beyond twenty, without going into unnecessary details—and they had been friends since childhood, Shar ing each other's joys and sorrows, and especially confidantes in all the love af fairs that had fallen to the lot of each, thus far without serious, or at least per manent, results to either. Ordinarily Alice spent her two weeks' summer vacation with' Florence, but in the year of this chronicle ahe went to visit an aunt who had not previously been on friendly terms with the Keenes and whom it was wise to cultivate when the oppor tunity presented itself, for tne lady was not one whose wishes could be well dis regarded being a person of influence and position, although of no wealth that would divide up to a large extent. Thus was that on the Saturday before the week of her vacation Alice Keene board ed the first train in the morning for Easton, carrying all her belongings in a dress suit case, which was the property of Florence Crandall, kindly loaned for the occasion. She had a ride of five hours before her. and choosing the best seat she could find, she prepared to be as comfortable as pos sible tn a day coach. There were friends galore to see her off and wish her a pleasant time, and when they had all gone and the train was moving away she settled down and began to survey her surroundings. She had a book, but she was not so frequently a traveler that a book was the most interesting thing she could find, and she let It lie on the seat beside her while she looked about the car with now and then a quick glance at the flying scenery oujslde. There were only a few passengers at that hour, the morn ing was cool and Allee leaned back In her seat to enjoy herself at her leisure. For two weeks and two days there would be no more clicking typewriters, no more office hours, no more work, nothing but rest now. and a lovely imitation of being rich and lazy. As the tired girl thought of these things, she did not forget her Immediate sur roundings and presently she was attracted by a dress suit case directly across the aisle from her. It was a handsome one, she noticed, but then no handsomer than the one she had, for Florence Crandall had only the best of everything, and on the end of it she saw,the inscription, "H. D. Fenn, New York City.” She had never met a man, from New York and with not a little curiosity she shyly glanced up from the dress suit case to its owner. In an instant she was sorry she had been so bold, for the man was looking directly at her. Her interest was immediately diverted to something out side of the window. She knew he was still looking her way. because she could Just feel that he was, ai)d she wondered how a man could be so rude. She re membered her book, now, and as she turned to get it she ventured another glance at the New Yorker. He was ab sorbed apparently in a newspaper, and she had an opportunity, with woman’s quick intuition, to gather data sufficient to warrant the conclusion * that he was about 30 years old. quite handsome and stylish and in all respects an appropriate accompaniment to the elegant dress suit case he carried. Several times within the next two hours .Alice looked over at her neighbor, when she thought she could do so without being caught, but in nearly every instance she was mistaken. But there was some kind of strange fascina tion which drew her eyes across the aisle again, and when at last the brakeman called out “Moose Lake,” and the man picked up his dress suit case and left the train she was positively glad and her eyes roamed over the car with a distinct sense of relief. • • Alice came back from her vacation like another being. Everything of the past was gone, and she went to her work again as if she were making a new start in life. She had even forgotten the strange fascination across the aisle, and it proba bly would never have asserted itself again had it not been for Florence Crandall. The summer had waned and Florence had re turned. Alice met her at the train and went home to dinner with her. and after dinner the two hid themselves away in a corner for a good long talk. Os course, they had been writing to each other, but letters are never satisfactory as compared with the heart-to-heart talks that girls Indulge in. “But the funniest and the strangest thing that happened all summer,” saM Florence after the exchange of a great lot of confidences, "was a letter I received from a Mr. Fenn, of New York, who said he had met me on the train going to Eas ton and was so pleased with me that he could not help trying to find me again.” "Have you answered it?” asked Alice weakly, feeling all at once the recurrence of the strange fascination across the aisle. "Os course. I haven’t,” prompty replied Florence.. "Do.you suppose 1 would write to a stranger like that? But how ever did he get my address? And I haven't been JZTjp xqj He wm sb’crbefl In a newspaper. to Easton for two years, I am sure." Alice gasped once or twice and rallied for a confession, “Oh, Florence,” she eried, almost with tears in her eyes, "it was ~iai dress suit case of yours. You know your name Is printed on the'end of it.” "Yea, but now can that have anything to do with itT' aaid the perplexed Flor ence. "I never took it to Easton,'* "No, but I did, you remember,” Allee explained, "and. Uwe Z&UPt IBM, sat across the aisle from me whose was Fenn and he was from New York." Florence looked perfectly aghast at Alice, who shrank before her gaae. "You don’t mean to tell me. Alice Keene.” she said sternly, “that you have been flirting on trains with strange This was simply too horrid, and to save herself, told u,e whole story of her experience that morning and her de scription of Mr. Fenn was quite creditable to that unknown young man. Florence*! wrath was appeased, and as the two girls talked It all over the sense of the rbmajitio began to assert itself and they agreed to answer the letter between them and share the odium of such reprehensible conduct— if they were ever found out. Os course, the letter was in the character of Alice, although in the name of Florence and the t III( *: » "oh, no —I—that is to Bay— ~ two conspirators waited with throbbing hearts for the result of their adventure. It came in due time and there was no denying that Mr. Fenn wrote like a gen tleman whatever he - might be in person, and a second letter was dispatched to him. Thus matters proceeded until the time came when Mr. Fenn announced that he would appear in person, and the girls were in a flutter of emotional excitement. There were revelations to be made that they had their doubts about; and just how they were to adjust Miss Crandall’s name to the person of Alice, or now they were to arrange that Alice was to appear In re sponse to the call of the stranger for Miss Crandall, was a study to which they de voted themselves assiduously ; without reaching any very clear conclusion even up to the day of Mr. Fenn’s arrival. How ever, Alice was there to meet him when he came to Florence’s home, and although she was very nervous and would have run away if she dared, she took courage and passed through the ordeal with flytpg col ors. Mr. Fenn was not only delightful, but delighted, and they chatted hway at such a rate that Alice entirely forgot Florence, who was impatiently watting upstairs to be called in as Miss Crandall’s best friend. "Really, Mr. Fenn,’’ she exclaimed as she remembered her neglect, "I had quite forgotten in the renewal of our acquaint ance. that I have a very dear friend in the house who knows of our little romance and who is quite anxious to meet you. Excuse me for a moment till. I go get her.” ' ' < ‘ Mr. Fenn, for the first time, ahowed signs of uneasiness. "If you will pardon me. Miss Crandall.” he said with an effort. "I will detain you long enough to make an explanation.” This made Alice nervous, but she nodded for him to proceed. "I came here, as you know.” he went on, “without knowing anything about you Except what I could guess from your let ters. That.was good enough to make me take any chances, and now that I have seen you, I beg your forgiveness for ev«n having had a doubt, and I want to tell you that I am not Mr. Fenn at all, but George Gordon, Harry Fenn’s step-brother. Jt was his dress suit case I had, and when I told him of the pretty girl I had seen on the train and whom I wanted to find again he told me to use his name as the sign of my search, and see if it would bring me luck. I hope I have not erred beyond your forgiveness. Miss Crandall?” he added, as she stood before him quite dumbfounded by this revelation. "Oh, no—l—that is to say——” she be gan to stammer. "Harry is down at the hotel now,” broke in the young fellow, quite like a boy. "and he can verify my statement. He , said he would come along to look after me in case of emergency. And, don't you know, he's only a year older than I am. ’ Isn’t that a joke?” 1 He laughed as if he were not sure ha should or not, and Alice responded al most hysterically. “Oh, Mr. Fenn, I mean Mr. Gordon," she said after she had somewhat regained her composure, ”1 have an explanation to make, too. I am not Florence Crandall, and it was her dress suit case I had with me that day. I am Alice Keene.” The young man fairly roared at thia disclosure of fraud. i "Well,” he exclaimed, "what a pair of ' deceivers we have been, haven’t we? Go and bring Miss Crandall so we can con fess to her.” But ft was not necessary to bring Miss Crandall. Grown weary with waiting, she had ventured down into the hall to see what was going on, and Alice caught sight of her. "Come In. Florence,” she called, “I ! want to present Mr. Gordon.’’ • t "I thought,” began Florence as she I came forward hesitatingly. - "Yes. .and so did we tnink.” laughed * Alice, “but none of us thought right, and * now let us all sit down and explain.” ’ "But I must go get Harry,” the strang-« er Insisted. “He is part of this now.” 4 and he almost ran out-of the house on bls brotherly errand. ' Fifteen minutes later he returned with < the real Mr. Fenn, who was presented to Florence Crandall, and Mr. Gordom and and Miss Keene Immediately desig nated them as the guilty parties in a clandestine correspondence, and offered proof of their charges in divers and sun dry letters bearing their respective sig natures. The accused did not know just how to* take it at first, but when all four had dined at the Crandall mansion that even ing and had taken a boat ride on the lake in the light of an October moon, they con cluded to offer no defense. As for Gord an and Alice, they had made up their minds from the very beginning. Six months later there was a double we<- .-ng at the church in Midville and a grand reception at the Crandall man sion afterwards.
