deavored to establish a connected line, in
a general way. but this was a difficult
matter to effect.
7t was during this bottle of Bull Run
that Jackson re-elyed the epithet
"Stonewall.” Probably no chance word
wfls ever uttered on a field of battle,
which lie-;.me more famous, than when
General Be. referring t-i General Jackson,
‘ used the expression "standing like a stone
j wall.” The epithet "Stonewall" stuck to
! Jackson’s brigade throughout the war,
and it certainly is the name by which its
first commander will always be known as
one of the brilliant and formidable of
American soldiers.
The battle of Bull Run has been classed
as one of the decisive battles of the late
civil war. As the first pltchel battle—
the first trial of strength between the
north and south—its inception and issue,
were, pregnant with grave ennseqeunees
to the future of a struggle In which the
two combantnnts were yet hesitating to
engage. In fts purely riiTTltary results it
has been well said that "the cannon
of Bull Run echoed henceforth on every
battle field of the war.”
The chief importance, therefore, of the
Bull Run conflict lies In ( ifs being the
first of the battles of the civil war. It
possesses, when viewed 1n this light, a
sort of romantic interest. The partici
pants in It. had not had time to be. 'me
soldiers; they had not learned the trade
of war. they were civilians, animated,
both sides equally so, by patriotic mo
tives, equally determined to fight, to tho
best of their ability fur their respective
countries.
The reports of the various generals on
both sides as read today abound with
kindly and admiring references to lhe
galTantry of these bravo volunteers, wTio,
in the midst o'® these nov -1 and terrifying
experiences showed such self-devotion.
Tt is expo Jted that all railroads will
give Yeduced. riites on (his occasion, and
there Is little doubt that thousands of
southerners will avail themselves of the
opportunity riot only' to visit that section,
but to see the battle fought again. The
victory here was one of the most signal
confederate successes, and at the same
time a dearly fought one. The fact that
the sons of the men wore then at
each Other’s throat, will, as brothers, im
personate their fighting sires, will make i
of It a truly dramatic eye.nt.

I ilia wa til. was duly registered in the tern
pie, he- forehead was marked with the
sliam.l 1- or sa red red paint, an.l hence
forth she was brought up as one of the
r.-pnerous bri.l-s of the great Hindu
deiti*.
la pursuance, then, of tills, her destiny,
at five B-havvani c .mmeneed her studies
at the school attached to the temple,
when her expanding beauty, together
with her rapid proficiency in singing and
dancing, were so marked that she was
barely fifteen when she underwent the
final purification ceremony.
Sli.- was bathed, perfumed, anointed
with holy oil and attired in rich diapha
nous garments. Then, as she stood in
the supreme net while her right hand
was bound to that of the image, symbol
ical of her eternal union with the go.l,
the priests congratulated themselvts that
the temple which possessed such a vo
tary would reap a. fine harvest of money
and jewels from those who came to enjoy
the society of the dancing girls as much
as from motives of religious duty.
And in this respect their satisfaction
was well founded, for at the next festi
val, when Bhawani made her first public
appearance, dancing in the procession,
her beamy and grace were extolled by
many admirers. For them the temple
suddenly possessed more than usual at
traction, in contrast to the monotony
of Hindu family life.
But among them was a young noble of
the warrior caste, who fell honestly in
love with th, beautiful priestess. \V hen
•ho had set eyes on Bhawani lie was ready
to sacrifice all that remained to pass an
hour or two each evening in her society;
ai d so long as anything of value dl.l re
main the priests were quite willing to en
courage h.is infatuation.
So first his jewels were offered at the
shrine of his heart’s desire, then his land
was mortgaged and the proceeds expend
ed in a similar manner, only to find him
self deeper and deeper In love with Bha
wani. On the girl’s part, too, the senti
ment was as truly reciprocated.
At length the day came, however, when
Krishna Khem appealed at the temple

This plan, with vows of unalt.-i Id af

ural impulse of her li* art.
"All! love, dear love. 1 she - d. “hi:
evn if no one may know it. how c . 1
we conceal the knowledge from onr-
I selves? The gods would surely visit as
both with terrible punishment. There
fore, for your sake, 1 cannot do ns you
wish.”
Again an.l again, with tlie fervor of a
distracted lover. Krishna Khem tried to
i' duoo her to a vept his view of their
case; but the only promise she would
make was that she would meet him on
more t.y stealth on the following evening
at a secluded spot In a grove adjoining
the temple. There they would bo unob
served and she would give him her final
answer.
So when a.t the appointed time Krishna

him. attired in her most beautiful gar

with the jewels he had given her. and
carrying her lota, he advanc'd hopefully

Eagerly In- took her In his arms and
onre--sed her gently.
"Bhawani. O best beloved." he whis
pered. “you will come with me th. n?"
"I.ord." she replied, "T will not return
to the temple.”
Krishna Khem was overjoyed. He em
braced her again, and drew her quickly
toward a spot where he had made prep
.orations for their flight.
They had gone hut a short distance
when Bhawani faltered, an.l clung to her
lover. Krishna Khem gazed upon her In
alarm, for her strength seemed' to l.e rap
idly waning.
Then, as symptoms of exhaustion were
evidently increasing, lie Trti.l her gentlv
on the ground, while supporting her head
In his arms.
"Bhawani—Bhawani!" lie called. "AVhat
ails yon. my love?"
Klie raised her arms and drew his head
down to hers. Then she whispered
"Farewell, dear lord. Tim gods send
that neither wind. rain, sickness, nor any
•earthly sorrow brush by then too roughly,
dear heart, dear heart."
Tl’.’ last words came from her lips
faintly, while the significance of the
parting salutation pierced Krishna
Kliem's soul with anglish
"Bhawani—Bhawani!" he cried lvasston-
ntelv. "But we are not to part. Y011 will
come with me."
For a moment her lips ouivered os if in
an effort to speak again, but a sigh only
came forth.
Then her eyes closed as they gazed into
his, and her arms relaxed their embrace.
She had died bv her own act to save
them both from thp curse of the gods.
