From her I learned that he whom we call Ixiuis Victor was of Lor rank, was of old friendship with her house, was exiled jukl nameless, but for some reason un- - known to her. She needed to see him. I took tle message for her. I sent him | to' her. He went to her tent, alone, at night. That was, of course, whence j ho came when Chaieauroy met him.

He bowed his haughty head low dawn to her A. “True. We will cleanse that If all other Justice be too lute.” The answer was infinitely gentle, in finitely solemn. Then he turned and, wrote his hurried order and bade Ms aid to go with it without a second’s loss. But Cigarette caught it from in* hand. “Tortile, to me! No other will go so fast.” “But, my child, you are worn out cl-i ready.” She turned on him her beautiful wild eyes, In which the bltndiug, passionate tears were floating. “Ho you think. I would tarry for that? Ah, I wish that 1 had let them tell me of God, that I might ask him how to bless you! Quick,*tiul,ck! Lend ine your swiftest horse, one,that will not tire. And send a fceeond order by, your aidnle-camp.

The order of release, indeed, was in her bosom, hut the clichees were as a j million to oh-- that she would tench ; him with it in time, ©re. with the ris | ing of the sun, his life would have set forever. All the horror of remorse was on her. | To her nature the bitter jealsusy in , which she had desired vengeance ca 1 him seemed to have rendered her a murderess. She loved him —loved him with an exceeding passion—and only Iri this extremity, when It was confronted with the Imminence of death, did the fullness and the greatness of that love make their way out of the petulant pride and the wounded vanity which had obscured them. She had been cro now a child nnd a hero. Beneath this blow which struck at him she changed —she became a woman and a martyr, i And she rode at full speed through j the night, as she had done through the daylight, her eyes glancing aJI around in the keen im*ln<d of a trooper, her hand alwipys on the butt of her belt pistol. Her brain had no sense, her hands had no feeling, her ores had no sight. The rushing as of waters was loud on her ears, aa cl the giddiness of I fasting and of fatigue sent the gloom eddying round and round, lfke a whirk pool of shadow.

Birmingham, Alai, Nov. i. —A reunion otcuired at spriugville, iu j St. Clair county, a few days ago between father and son, who had never seen each other. The son is about 30 years of age and the father over 50. It was an interesting event and a general reunion of the lamilies may i iollow in a short while, j W. T. Crawford, of Irondale.the well known deputy sheriff at that ! point, tells of the reunion. It was between William Crawford, Sr., of Spriugville, and his son, William Crawford, Jr., of Jemisou. I About thirty-one or thirty-two years ago William Crawford was m love with two young ladies near Harpersville, Shelby county. He was a young fellow then and the young ladies with whom he was in love were also quite young. He married one, but the union was not happy and after several months together they agreed to separate and a year and -a half later a di ! vorce was secured. A sou was born of this union but the father had gone from the scene before the child saw the light of day. William Crawford was the name given to the little one. The senior Crawford married the other young lady with whom he was in love as a young man and moved from that section oft, state. Crawford’s first wife mar ried again also. The little Crawford grew up iu manhood and mauages a coaling station at Jameson. He is himself the father of several children. Five offsprings are at the home of the senior Crawford, two grown sons, one grown daughter and two younger children. The senior Crawford had hear*! of his son, but could not locate him and it remained for Deputy Sheriff Crawford to hunt him up, which was done, and the reunion wrns an interesting event. The father and son greeted each other sincerely and their families will be brought together in a short while. William Crawford, Sr.,is a pros perous and respected farmer iu St. Clair county. There was 110 scan dal, the disagreement with the first wife being agreed Upon by advice ofp ;>nd the separation was in gikl for n.
