Wild Beast and the Wounded Man— Sad End of a Soldier. Just as the sun upon the camp of Detroit F'ree Press: went down we came the hostiles and churged it without a halt. The Apaches were taken by syr- prise, us we noped to take them, and we van them for two miles up the narrow valley before the bugle recalled us. Wae thought we picked up all the dead and wounded as we returned, but when the roll was called at the campfire Cor- poral Smith of “B” troop was missing. There were comrades who hud ridden beside him in the fight, but none who had seen him fall. The night had come down piteh dark and we could not search for him. Wo could only hope that he had become separated from us in the wild dash and would sooner or later muke his way into camp. If he did not come before morning we could then solve his fate. A mile nnd a half up the valley as night came down, a soldier, wounded and unconscious, was lying at the mouth of uravine leading into the foothills, It was o ravine here gloomy and forbid- ding, with u rill of water ecreeping along its rocky bottom. Boyond the foothills, as it drove its way into the grand old mountain, it was & canon, 50 full of gloom and awe, and always so quiet, nnd with such a chill ereeping out of the darkness, that a strong man chained to one of the rocks would have lost his renson und become a chattering, shrieking maniac in u day. he wounded soldier is Corporal Smith; when thenight had fairly settled down he slowly opens his eyes and looks up into the bluckness. Where is he? What hus bappened? His thoughts are confused, and it is several minutes before he works out the problem to his own satisfaction, A, yes! He was pur- suing with the column when a woulded Indian lifted himself up und fired at him. He was hit in the shoulder, and us he recled about in his saddle his dushed off to the right. Ho does not vemewmber falling, but here he is, and all alone. His wound? He moves his arm and the pain makes him gusp. However, a bullet in the shoulder 1s not a disubling wound, It is a dark night, but he can find his way into camp. He “What's that!” He wus about to r his foet when there few yards away at *the ravine Indians prow battlefield to knifo and scalp the un- fortnnate wounded—to mutilute those who died before the sun went down!

Oh, yes, every one was tired; but she who could exhibit 200 cards the gentlemen always brought their cards—was very happy. How well I r mber dressing in my first long dress, and sailing up and down before the gluss to make sure that the train swept eracefully behind me. Ned Palmer had said he would be s o call on me, and I was as happy as a girl can be. He did come, of course, and he whispered sweet words in my ear as he eat the sweet calke he ‘was young cnough to enjoy. He staid full fifteen minutes—an unprecedented langth for o New Yeur call—and the rest of the day I was happy in consequence; though. for the matter of that, I was always happy in those days. Looking back, | fancy that the skies were bluer and the grass groener when I was sixteen; that the moon oitener shone, and that no one had s0 little trouble; but I suppose that is all fancy, and it was only that [ saw the world through rose-colored glusses, as most people do in their teens—und, then, there is nothing that can ever come to one in this wicked world half so delight- ful as being a pretty yonng girl with a handsome young lover who believes you the only perfect thing in the world. Talk of wealth and fame and honors and dignities, and all those things that usually come with gray hair and crowsfeet.” Bah! Isnapmy finpers at them! One kiss, such as one and twenty gives to sixteen, ig worth them all; and i queen in her power and pride might envy a peasant girl walking through the clover with an arm about her waist and @ whisper in bboe ear, After all, there is not much to tell of that joyous time that began for me, except that Ned and I loved each other; that he put a ring upon my finger, and thut we vowed to be true to each other forever and for- ever; never to change—never, never, never, while we lived!” We wore quite sure we would die on the same day, and in heaven we would go about hand in hand, listening to the music and the voices of the angels crying forever: Love! Lov Love! We wore so sure of everything—he and I; happy youth always Another New Year’s duy, and pur wedding was close at hand; and we were as fond of ench other asever. But I think we were too happy. I fancy Satan be- grudgea us perfect and ‘sinless bliss: for that very day a word was said, a thing done—it does not matter whut— atrifle, a nothing: and yet it grew to a wreat thing inmy mind and his. We had a_ quarrel, a little lovers’ tiff, it seemed, I wept; he was like ice in his great dignit And some one who wished to part us took advantage of the fact. Ah! how could any one wish to maulkoe two young souls suffer so? And at that time there was trouble in the lund. “In sixt to smile ono the war begun; In sixty-four the war was o'er,” says the rude rhymo time in mind. There was a chance for any one who vus In despair to fling his life awny., [ suid the bitter word he could not bear. I took his ving from my finger and tossed it to him as though it wer thing that had no value in my eyes: and he left mo in wrath, The next day they told me he had enlisted, and [ heard them speak of his patviotism as great, and praise him for casting away pros- pects such ns his for the sake of his country. But I—I knew that patrito ism did not move him; that he would never have left me for tho sake of any other thing, and thut ho hud simply gone 1o’ scek death because ho believed that I no longer leved him, But I did-—oh, I did!

Once ,more a New \t's day came on which ,thoughts of festivity scemed in place, gud I said to my sister, with whom T liyed: “New Yeuar's aghin, my dear, Only one must send cards how, they say, or no one will ¢all,” “Yes, it is more formal,” my sister eaid. “But if you will go_out to order the cards this morning there may be time to send them yet." And I went cheerfully. - And why was I s0 anxious to keep New Year’s day, you ask? Was my grief quite over? Oh, my dear, it was only part of the old story the old, old talé, that will be told over and over again until the world is blotted out and no young hearts to beat and no old ones to break. I haa heard that Ned Palmer had re- turned—he was Colonol Palmer now and I believed that if we sent him cards he might understand with what feelings I inclosed mine, and return to me. Yes, rotur We were young yet. We . perhaps, more sonsible. Eve thing might be explained. If I could but lure him back, so that I could Jook into his eyes, I felt sure that he could rend in mine that [ was still true to him. I had no longer any pride about it. Th> watehing and hoping and fearing of the war-days had broken it quite down. If he would return to me, I asked nothing else of heaven; and he would---oh, I was sure that he would. And what pleasure it was to make the cake, hoping he, would taste it; to remember that he was fond of chocolate; to think of all the pretty things that went to the dressing of the table as things that he would look upon. And New Yeur's day or not, and no mat- ter how many there were there, T would get him away to some quict corner, and let him ask my forgiveness: or, if it came to that, I would ask h Oh. my darling! Just tosee him ! Just to teel his hand fold itself about mine again? Just to look into those oyes—those great, beautiful eyes, thut could have told a love story without words. And some day—oh, same day! he would kiss me again as in the d when wo were first betrothed. Oh, he would come, he would surely come, for my heart told me that his still throbbed for me, that absence and distance and even the belief that I was false to him. had never changed him. Yes, he would come, for now he had my card. On'New Year’s morn T looked in my glass, hoping that those four years had not altered we much, or, if they had, y that would tell him I t sved for him. He would rather see t in my face than vot, and my dress ame me, and—ah well, it would be all right; and when the bell began to ring and the door to open and the rooms to fill. I gave iling greetings to ali, looking the while for him. He would not be amongst the eailiest comers, of course; he never had b&in. Tt was not quite elegant, and he was always ele- gant.

Still the guests greeting and adieu At last penco day e nre carhet the words of were spoken. Boys with bright faces rushed in and out again. Middle-aged men bowed for a moment, and were gone; elderly men, prone to linger a little about the grate, stayed longer. It was a dry, bhright day, without a cloud in the sky; the voices in the street sounded clear and crisp; fresh, sweotair came in at the door with e new caller and was far from unpleasant. The crowd in- creased in the afternoon, but still Col- onel Pulmer did not come, and I said to myself that T would not expect him un- til evening. He would come in the eve- ning, beeause it would be more natu and ensy to have our talk. He would desire that as much as I possibly could. I felt his heart calling to me. O, I was sure that in spirit he was with mo—we had had the fancy that that could be in the old days. While away from him, he would bend his = mind on something and will that I should think of it also, and I al- ways did.
