HIS PLEASANT INTERLUDE.
A War-Time Tale.
He rode up (o the entrance of the
house, and stooping forward, rapped
smartly at the door with the hilt of
his sword. Then he settled himself
in the saddle, whistled and looked
around at the detail, blue coated men
of the Federal cavalry, sitting stolidly
behind him.
Ha waited a few moments, and then
dismounted, whistling still, his blue
eyes smiling and dancing as tliough
thirty miles o ver rough (country, and
coining on the heels of a harassing
march, were but a mere bagatelle.
Again he knocked, loudly, insistently.
The corpa. al moved heavily in his
hot saddle, and moistened his lips
with his tongue.
In answer lo the knocking the still
brooding house suddenly become alive
with stealthy footsteps an i secretive
sounds, cautious movements and dis -
creet murmurings. The lieutenant
settled his hat more jauntily and
looked al his dusty boots and ragged
uniform with a lupuruful air. Pres
ently light footsteps came down the
unseen stairs, and paused on the other
side of the heavy door,
“Who is there?” The voice was so
clear and sweet that the lieutenant
forgot hi.-, boots and mailed again, and
even the corporal paused in the act
of flickingja fly from the neck of his
lioise.
A detail of the United States cav
airy We want rest and shelter.”
The licutenont might infinitely more
pleasant than these common necessa
ries, for his voice was mellowed with
a g ateful deference.
“I am quite alone with my aunt,’>
said the voice. “Shall we 'be safe in
opening to you?”
“Madame,” answered the lieuten
ant, swelling in his blue tunic, “we
ai*f soldiers 'u ve tire men,”
The door is inhaired and thrown
open. The lieutenant swept bis cap
from bis head and bowed. He bowed
with exaggerated homage, for the
voice was possessed by a young girl
every witii. :u sweet as its cadence.
“I will n: t say you are welcome,” she
said, “for you do not wear the uniform
which open s our hearts.” She spoke
sadly, for the war uad been terrible
in its resuits for her and her friends
Everywhere the biuo uniform was
arming over ilie Southern home
steads, into the Southern homes
lie shrugged his shoulders.
“One must wear one uniform or an
other,” lie answered. “I was born in
the North. The matter is a mere ac
cident. It may have been unfortunate
for me.”
“I think n t,” she replied, looking
gravely at him, thinking of the sacri
fiecs made and making.
“I am by no means sure,” he smiled
tliinking?of other matters.
.In another minute he went off, his
c ap'fiihst back, whistling a happy

R. i THOMPSON, Horn -r Ga
waltz refrain, te sec to the housing of
horses ami men— horses coming first
in his estimation, as befitted a caval
man. Davis, the corporal, and the
six othor men of the detail swore
hardly as they loosened girths in the
disused stabler, but the lieutenant
| went < n whistling.
In the evening he sat with the git I
J and her aunt in 'he broad, cool dining
room, smoking. He could have dis
pet.jcd v i.biLe aunt, but after all,
she was silent, and knitted. Majorte
be had discovered that her name
was Majorte, with a pleased sense of
its appropriateness —was not silent,
and she did not knit. She sat by the
low open window and talked.
He was very candid about his move
ments, boyish and flippant. The war
bub left him entirely without personal
animosity against anyone.
“Why did did you become a sol
dier? ’ Majo.ie questioned, wondering-
Iv, for her hatred of the Northerners
was as the hatred of her kindred
very deep and very bitter.
“Oh, I don’t know. Any fellow
would m my position. I was a lawyer
I hated law. The war premised ex
eitemeut and adventure. There you
are.
“And you like it?” She looked at
him narrowly. That this liatofm war
should be agreeable was a pbaso she
had not yet studied.
“Yes. Why not? It gives move
ment. I love movement. It gives
adventure I adore adventure. It
gives excitement. I worship excite
ment. No one can enjoy the perfec
tton of living without the zest of- an
apparent chance of the other thiug.
“Life an t death, right anC wrong,
are mere matters of amusements to
you?”
“Should they be anything else? I
am quite willing to grant that I am
filiting tor a wrong cause. I have
never studied the subject. I light be
cause 1 like it. and don’t like the
law.”
The aunt, serious over her knitting,
reproached him.
“You are bringing death and deso
lation on us.’’
He was apologetic at once.
“I’m awfully sorry. I never thought
of it in that light. It has been a mere
game with me—like marbles or —or
billiards.”
Marjorie looked at him again, but
he was conscious that her attention
was divided. It had been divided all
the eveuing. There was anxiety in
her eyes, even fear. lie smiled to
himself as he saw this and blew fanci
ful clouds of smoke.
“I caimnot he that. It has been the
cause of my meeting with T° u —and
with your aunt,’ he added, as an after
thought.
Both aunt and niece smiled, but
their smiles were forced.
“You have a seciet,” he went on,
suddenly looking out of the window.
“Forgive me for speaking. I look so
much of a fool lhat I a* afraid you
hare not given me credit for discov
ering it. Someone is hidine here.”
Aunt and niece started to their feet
with alarmed faces and protesting lips
lie waved them courteously to their
chairs 1 .
‘>l have no wish to discover who he
i.“. He may be your bi other, Mistress
Marjorie; he may be—again, forgive
me—something nearer. Ido not. ask.
I have no desire to know.”
They sank back in their seats, star
ing at him with strained eyes.
“You will not ” the girl began,
falteringly
“Search for him? No, most assured
ly not. lam quite happy here, smok
ing and—and seeing you. Another
might disturb us. It is no duty of mine
to be a spy. While I tresspass on your
hospitality I am quite deaf. Ido not
say that if I met him in open, face
to face, 1 should not attempt to kill
him. I should. He would do the same
to nit. But now —this is a pleasant in
terlude.’'
She the girl, looked at him with elo
quent eyes.
“Sir,” she said, “you are very good.
lie smiled, “It will he well if I can
hope that you will permit to us of the
North sonic o; the chivalry you claim
for the South. I am a soldier; I am not
a spy.
The aunt came forward. He saw
with apprehension that her face was
white with emotion, that she walked
ansteadilv. and that her eyes were
misty.
“God bless you ’’she began.
‘ My dear madam,” be said lightly,
“1 am your guest, I atn afraid my in
fusion was a little bi usque, and not
altogether acceptable, but necessity
gave me no choice It is.’ he went on,
with an easy change,“a very pleasant
evening For a week or so 1 think I
might be very happy here, but it must
be dull to pass the whole ot one’s life
with only trees and fields and animals
a few human and many otherwise.,,
“That,” said Marjorie, speaking for
the sake of speaking, and Jwith little
thought, 11 is not complimentary.”
Hi* eves daikeued a little as be look
ed at her.
‘lmagination might suggest a great
er happiness, but knowledge, the
knowledge of a few hours, demonstra
tes the futility of such a possibility.”
She crimsoned quickly, shyly look
ing at him.
•‘You are gallant, sir,” she smiled.
“Am I? It is rarely that the truth
js gallant.,,
’i he aunt, rendered obtuse with the
stress of her emotion, she broke in.
“Perhaps, ’’said she,“some ono warts
and watches for you and the far
North. If so I pray that she may re
pay you for your kindness to us—to
my niece and to me.”
He smiled again, the setting sun ca
ressing his hair into an answering
gleam.
“Madam, I have met many in my
lite—a longer life, I think, than you
imagine— but a week has wearied me
of them alt. I have never hoped for
more than a week’s brief pleasute,
never even guessed its possibility,
until today.”
* “That, is sad,” said the aunt.
“It has one great advantage. They
may put me uuder the ground tomor
row, and there will be no heart left to
ache.”
“You talk lightly of death.” Mar
jorie shivered as she spoke.
“It’s a so'diesV chance, and when
one plays a game of chance one
should reckon the risks,”
“And you have reckcned?”
“This little expedition, which ha£
me the great pleasure of your ac
quaintance and of your aunt’o, should
demonstate that. 1 am far in an
enemy’s country The general who
accepted my offer did not umlenat e
the peril* He parted with with a
longer handshake than usual. It was
quite eloquent- W are twenty
miles in advance of the column.”
He started the, for a slight noise
arrested his attention- The two
women did not hear it, and he was
silent.
When the night was dark a man
stole from the back of the house.
He wore a uniform, and if the night
had not been so dark the uniform
would have been seen to have been
gray. But after all, if tne night had
not been dark there was no one to
see it.
In the morning, early, before the
dews were dry, the lieutenant bade
the two women a gay farewell, and
rode clown the road with his men.
The road lay open to the dawn be
fore the house, and there was no
screening hedge-
He laughed as he rode and waved
his cap gayly. The corporal lookad
on in grave disapproval: Such friv
olities were not in keeping with the
grimness of war. The. carbines were
slung and the swords rested in their
scabbards.
Suddenly the windows of the house
were alive with rifles' Six men
looked over the muzzles at the detail.
Looking back at the two women, the
jeutenant caught sight of the tense
aces glaring over the gleamiug bar
barrels.
“Forward, lads, for your lives,”
be shouted.
The sudden start of horses, the
aprupt ringing of his voice, discom
fited their aim; The bullets flew
wide. All but one. The man who
had stolen from the house in the dark
had covered the beutenant, and ire
smiied as the figure in blue swayed
in his saddle.
‘Get on, Davis?” the lietenant
cried. "Fin done for! Get or. the
gener geneial must have the report.”
The corporal hesitated as his lieu
tenant dropped, but the report was
of consequenco, and it was no use
dying beside his officer. So he rode
on vith tne detail.
When the woman knelt by his side
and Marjorie riaacl his head, the lien
tenant opened his eyes.
“Don’t tell him that I knew he was
there,” he said. “It might be unpleas
ant for him.,, He struggled with the
fantness that came upon him, “It
was a pleasant interlude,” he added
weakly,“but it is over now-”

uniform it would not have been news

“Tho liar is a much abused person, ”
said a well known local physician to a
reporter last week. “The liar is not al
ways to blamo, and if you have any
friends who are addicted to false repre
sentation of things advise them to con
eult their doctors. There is hope for at
least one class of liars. Medicine and
medical methods arc applicable to thoso
who suddenly develop an abhorrence for
the truth and lie on all occasions, even
though the truth might better suit their
purposo. This has como to be thought
of only as a species of dementia that is
ofttimes successfully treated.
“Tho malicious liar isadifficult prob
lem, for he knows that he is telling a
lie and there is no hope for him. But
there are lots of people who just lie
