This news caused a veritable sensa

The one woman in whose presence I was
especially shy was a dear girl whom I
used to see home from prayer meeting.
No parting in all that time of part

when my regiment stortod for the front
When, a year later, I was sent back to
Chicago to recover from a wound in the
jaw, I found myself os dear to her as
ever, and she as dear to me, it goes
without saying. I was in tho hospital
at Oamp Donglas. My wound healed
rapidly. I was allowed to go about the
oity very mnoh as I chose, and prayer
meetings, with their escort privileges,
claimed a great part of my attention.
About that time the Y. M. O. A.
was organizing a regiment, to be com
posed exclusively of men who professed
religion. The scheme naturally attract
ed a great deal of attention. The papers
were full of it. I was selected to oap-
tain one of the new regiment’s compa
nies. Protest against the selection was
made on account of my age—then jnst
18. The matter was carried np to the
adjutant general of the state, who final
ly decided in my favor. My age, the
singular character of tho case and the
popularity of the regiment caused such
an amount of newspaper gossip that it
seemed as though everybody must have
heard of the matter at least All this
time I never wore my uniform outside
of oamp. The dear girl, therefore, nev
er saw me except in citizen’s clothes.
It’s an outrage,’ she said jnst after
we met a very youthful looking man in
captain’s uniform on one of onr walks,
’that such young men are trusted with
the responsibilities of command. I don’t
know what the country is coming to. ’
For a moment I was overcome by
the shock. When I recovered my breath,
I told her that youth did not necessarily
debar a man from possession of the
qualities of a commander. She declined
to be convinced, and the conversation
became decidedly chilly. Instead of
making my customary call when we
reached her house, I stopped at the front
gate.
‘Laura,’ I said, ’I must tell yon
goodby. My regiment has orders to
leave for the front tomorrow. It may
be that we never shall see each other
again. ’
Bnt we did. All fashionable Chicago
oame to Oamp Donglas the next day to
see the final dress parade of the mnoh
talked of Y. M. C. A. regiment, and I
could see the dear girl among the orowd.
My new captain’s uniform gave me a
good deal of satisfaction jnst at that
time, I can tell yon. The colonel of the
regiment had asked me, on aooount of
the ppwer of my voice, to aot as adju
tant for the occasion. That furnished
additional gratification. The parade had
the magnificent splendor that only a
dress parade can have, and the solemnity
of this occasion was vastly increased by
the reflection, not to be dismissed, that
many of those among regiment and spec
tators were seeing each other for the
last time on earth. The band played as
though speaking onr last farewell to
our friends. Ev«ry one, I am sure, was
deeply impressed. It was at this time
that the dear girl had her first and last
view of me in my captain’s uniform.
“ ‘Officers to the front and center!
March I’ I ordered, with all the dignity
I conld assume. As they reached the
center they sainted me.
