BY ANNA LEACH. The General had been out in the West almoet continuously for thirty-five years. He had enlisted as a private in 1862, when he was seventeen lying patriotically con- cerning hie age.t He was the big, raw boned product of a Vermont fanm, with the grit of a line of Puritan forefathers, and the very devil of a fighter. He had honestly believ- ed that the setting free of slaves was the work for all true men, and bad thrilled ire boyish fashion over the flag and the union in those stirring times. And he had fought with that thrill, and was a colonel with a medal of honor when the war ended. They offered him a lieutenant'a commission in the regular army in '65, and he took it. And now he was a general., He had invested his pay here and there during the early years when he was a cap- tain and a colonel, and he had seen towns grow up and railroads run through, and he had seen articles in the newspaper@ speak of bim as the richest men in the army and realized that, they were probably true. The winter'of '98, when the war with •Spair was coming on, they ordered him east. And one day in Baltimore he made a mis- take about the sailing of the boat down the Chesapeake, and found that he had a day on his hands. He might have gone back to Washington, but be was sick of Washing- ton. He had been west so long that, as he told the senator from California, he " hadritt got the hang of the schoolhouse, as the strange boy said when he missed the words at the spelling bee." Everybody in Wash; ington wanted something from hinn if it were no more than a quotable opinion. He had made up his mind to take a week at old Point Comfort and wait until Con- greas reached an opinion. When luncheon time came, he dropped into a fashionable Baltimore restaurantand ordered some oysters. The room was very crowded, and the General had not been sitting there five minutes before a handsome elderly woman came in with the very prettiest girl the old soldier ever remembered to have seen. She was not too young—twenty-five, anyway, be decided in his own mind—and she had the carriage and the bearing ot one who realized. herself. A man cannot live the lonely life of a soldier in our west as it was a quarter of a eel, tury ago and not have an almost reverential awe of beauty in women. The two ladies hesitated, and would have turned to go away, but the head waiter anxiously whispered to the General, and a moment later they were at his table. The elder bowed in stiff and soundless thanks after they had settled themselves with the gentle rustle of women of their sort, and they went on talking as though he had no existence. They saw only a tall, elderly man with a pair of square shoulders, which his coat did not fit. An army offieer who lives in hie uniform habitually and seldom wears citizen's clothes, always wears them awkwardly, and they are usually several seasons behind the mode. But there are some women who can no more restrain their tendency to show off than they eau keep from breathing, and the young woman was one of these. I There was nothing particularly attractive to her about this grave, tanned man. with the white hair, but she, quite unconsciously to him, and, it may be to herself, began te talk at him—exhibit her tricks. One of these was a light cleverness tinged with eudacity, which took its charm from the soft drawl of her southern voice. The General presently heard her Baying : "1 am sure I do not' blame Eve for listening to that snake. Fancy the monotony of living with an un- sophisticated youth who w!its born yester- day !" And he smiled. She saw him and she blushed. It was the prettiestesort of a blush, and it charmed the General: He denied over bis coffee until they had gone and when he started out into the street he felt lonely. Lying at his feet was a scrap of white mini:ode. 'The General stooped and picked it up. For all his fifty- five yeare he could stoop easily. He held the embroidered scrap near enough to detect the delicate odor of its sachet and see the monogram in the corner. Iv was "A S." and the General put the handkerchief in his pocketbook with a whimaical appreciation of his sentimentality over it. He went early to the boat which was to take him on; night journey to Fortress Monroe, and elept soundly all night with that habit which had kept his. strength young, and was up early in the morning to make his landing. To his surprise he dis- covered that a fog had detained the boat, and that they were only two miles down the bay. It was a brilliant morning ; the air, al- ready feeling the influenceof -spring in this latitude, brilliant in the sunshine. The bay sparkled, and guile flashed .in tre boat's wake, looking as though they were at much more romantic businees than picking up scraps from the cook's galley. The old soldier, baked by Arizena suns, dried by western winds, drew in the glad salt air and smiled to himself like a child. Then he turned and saw the two ladies of his luncheon sitting in steamer chairs be- hind him, and he almost said "How do you do ?" He started to take the handkerchief -from his pocket when h.e remembered himself, went down stairs, and carefully wrapped it in tissue paper. Then he :brought it back and presented it. "1 beg your pandon," he said, '1 but; I think this belongs to you," and he holell it out to the young lady. . i ' Not to me—to my friend, Mrs. Swae," she said courteously ; and the General real- ized how stupid he had beim. In a moment he had taken one of his cards and presen ed it. He knew that that card was an o en sesame almost anywhere. was not long before Mrs. Swan wrint down stairs and left the General alone w th It the young lady. She was Rosemary Wallin she told him, and he discovered that he had gnown her father in tome long ago time. The General did not • know much _about women, but he did marvel exceedingly that this one had not 'married. He had t e, 1 general masculine idea that if a wom n hasn't married, it is because her, plans have been miecarried in some fashion. • She gave him to understand that she was not so young as she looked. She also gave hi-rn a queer idea that she was in 80010 fashion a contemporary of his own. least, he understood that she found ve young men stupid. By the time the day was ended and thy were at the pier at Old Point, the Gene at had the comfortable feeling of belonging Er a party. He had the large western way, and after the ladies had gone to their root0 he sent a waiter up with a burden whi h caused Mrs. Swan to sit down with an e - elamation of dismay. " Champagne !' she said. • "Very good of him, T am sure," Miss Wallis said, in her pretty drawl. " I like champagne." And then she laughed. °tun up from any sickness, no matte what sort, begin with a littl Scott's Emulsion of cod -live oil, It is food, and more tha food: it helps you digest what ever food you can bear.

Addrese Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y. t "They say he is brave, and good and fem• ous and rich. Here's to him !" At nine o'clock the bell boy brought one of the General's cards to Miss Wallis with a line in pencil on the back : "Are you too tired for a little walk along the breakwater ?" "Rosemary," Mrs. Swan said, " every- body knows 'you' and everybody knows that man. It willbe in all the Sunday papers that you are engaged to him. Tbey will - have double column pictures called Venus and Mare. Oh, I can see the vulgar things now! Ugh !" " Let 'em !" Mies Wallis returned. Tee General and the first woman he had ever voluntarily chosen to take a moonlight. stroll with him, walked up the broad walk, which borders the bay. On one side was the ballroom, gay with its sides of colored glue. The artillery band was playing a slow waltz inside, and a few couples whirled round in a desultory fashion. The old rip. rap out in the bay was bathed in the cold moonlight until it took on a melancholy fictitiously romantic. " Won't you light a cigar ?" Mies Wallis asked. " I really like it. ' "You don't mean it 1" the General said. "No, I have had two or three this even. ing. 1 really am a slave of tobacco. But you surprise me. You don't know what a —quality you peerless, .Miss Wallis)' "A wifely quality, do you mean ?"' the girl asked demurely. "Does a man think whether a girl likes tobacco or not When he marries her ?" ' "No," the General said ; but a 1 man—if I were the man—would be pleased if she did like it ;" and he thought that 1 he had said a rather neat thing: And then they went on walking and talk- ing, that music inside making them grave or gay. There is no need to tell what they said. The people who have been on that old road which leads to matrimony and which is the common highway, know that tbey told each other a great many things which they thought true at the time, and voiced as eettled convictions, suiting them to each otherni tastes. The General knew by a message which came to him.from tempo eub consciousness that he was going to ask this girl to marry him, and he believed she would. He thank- . ed heaven in hie big heart that he had never married any commonplace woman in those years behind. He had an immense super- iority now to thosebornes of some of the other offibere which he had often envied, without the faintest idea how to go about making,one for himself. When lidiss Wallis took the scarf from her hair, and twisted locks of it about the mighty hair pins, there was a widening at the corners of her mouth and a satisfied look in her eyes. - The weak went by on wings for the Gen- eral. He said to himself dezens of times that he had never been so happy in his life. The officers in Fortress Monroe had tried to arrange festivities for him, but he was per- emptory ii his refusals. He had no inten- tion of do ning a uniform. Present y everybody accepted the situ- ation, and the "Sunday magazines "of the various dailies made ready their outs and articlee. k Miss W Ilia, always accompanied by her .chaperon, was seen with the General almost hourly in the most beautiful gowns and the best bats. Thereveere one or two men in the fortress and on th war ships in Hampton Roads vibe laughed when they saw the party. ,iti " Rosernary Wallis up to her old tricks," one man said to another, one day when the parade of he three had been a little more pronounced than usual. " Don'tyou believe it !" his companion returned. "She is going to settle this time. The General is worth while. He is every- thing des rable. The Wallis family are about fire out with that girl's nonsense. She hasn't a penny, and she has ni ver sue- ceeded in gathering in anything but a detri- mental in Other. years." " There ; was . Barney. I thought surely she wasSettled that year." , " Barney hasn't anything but his pay." "Oh, well, love's young dream, you know !" " Miss Wallis isn't much of a dreamer," the other man said drily. Mies Wallis was not entirely settled, even in her own mind. But one morning, when the General asked her to go over to Norfolk with him alone, and she accepted, she knew that the die was cast. They anise very early, indeed, that morn- ing and had breakfast together in the empty diningroom of the hotel, surrounded by the sympathetic' and delighted faces of the black waiters, who knew every move in the old game. It was a sunshiny Saturday, and as they went dowo to the pier to take the boat, they saw the smart little revenue cutter aiming in to take the ; officers and their wives over to the town for a day's shopping. Miss Wallis looked at that_ boat with a curious glance. She had travelled in it in other years. ' But The General had no thought of inviting her to take a seat in it now. He thought and, it may be, so did she, that if she wanted a special boat he could buy her a yacht—presently. They did the correct thing for tourists in Norfolk. They visited the navy yard and old St. John's church, and rode in the queer open carriages. The General had something to dray, and nobody had ever taught him how. Long silences fell between them. At !mit the General gave an embarrassed laugh which set no better on his dignity than his civilian coat on his brawny military shoul- ders. "Everybody thinks we are one of Old Point's winter drop of brides and grooms," he said. " I know it," Miss Wallis said with mer- riment, but with that flush that was delici- ously pretty. "Suppose we do take a wedding jourrey some time this spring ?" He tried to speak lightly, but there was a terrible anxiety in hie bronzed, strong fade. ' The girl drew her shoulders np as though she were cold. She had not expected any- thing quite so matter of fact and common- place as this. But—well, it was a matter of expediency she told herself. And she answered as lightly as he : "Oh, very well 1 Where shall we go ?" The General leaned forward and took her hand in the face of the world, had there been any world in the empty, sunny Norfolk street, " Roeemary," he said, " do you mean it ?" "Suppose," Mies Wallace said "that you do not attract the attention of the driver." And then she talked of other " things, but with a sweetness of voice and manner which euehanted the General. Presently he suggested their leaving the carriage and walking up the business street. Miss Wallis, whose appetite was a healthy one, kept a lookout for a restaurant, but thee General had other objects in view. He stopped in front of a jeweler's. "Rosemary," he said, "would you mind my buying your engagement ring" (Mies Wallis winced) "down here? I want you to have a souvenir of the day. Of course when I go to Washington or New York I will buy you all the diamond@ yin; want,* but I shall not feel exactly as though you belong to me until I have bought you some -- thing." Tte General had tpe mariculine senti- ments, and he had neve k known any reason for 'disguising them, " I shall value any gift of yours," Miss Weill@ said dutifully, and they went in. " Will you show us some ringe—soli. taire ?" the General said in hie lordliest tone. The jeweller put out a tray of rather in- ferior diamonds'. The General finally selected the best of the lot and had it put up in a yellow velvet box. • Mies Wallace had turned to look in- differently at a case of silver spoons, when she heard a little exclamation of dismay and turned to see the General gazing blank- ly into his pocketbook. Evidently he had miscalculated the amount of money he had with him. He was about to take his card ease out of his pocket and offer his name with a check, but the girl stopped him. She did not want to be any more ridiculous than pos- sible when the newspapers took up the story of her engagement. "There !" she said. "1 knew you would forget. You oan give Rosemary something ,else as a souvenir of the day." And she looked at the General as though Rosemary was some young eieter at home. - The General gazed about in an embarrass- ment which the experience of all of his years as a martinet had no power to allevi- ate ; and his eye fell upon a handsome umbrella. The jeweler, with a stern face, took up the yellow box, and replaced the ring in its plaee in the show case. , The General reached for an umbrella, and when they left the shop Min Wallis , was the owner of as Magnificent a protection from the rain as Norfolk afforded. " I like this much better than ,a ring," she said consolingly. The first restaurant they came to they went in, and the General ordered every- thing in hie usual lavish fashion. He could not eeeover from his annoyance over the ring.' The girl W & I ready to laugh if he had given her the oue, but he was deadly serious. The black waiter had just swung his tray recklessly over their heads when they heard a suppressed "Ah !" and looked up. A tall, very blond, very handsome and radiant young man stood beside them. The General frowned. It was Barney, a second lieutenant, a wild boy, who had been in a regiment under his own eye for two years past. He was showing an appalling audacity in intruding upon his superior of- ficer. But in a minute he saw that Barney had no thought of him. And Mies Wallis had blushed. Itwasn't a flush this time, but a great heart throb which had dyed her face and put tears in her eyes. The young man held out both hands. " Resemary !" he said ; and Mies Wallis put her hands into his, and answered all his eager questions. The Oeneral spoke in his quietest and coolest tones, and asked Mr. Barney to lunch with them, an invitation which was joyfully acoepted. "1 suppose you came over on the cut- ter ?" Barney asked. "I know it , is over. I am just on my way to Monroe. , It looks as if we might have some fun with Spain, eh, :General ?" Under ordinary circum - 'stances Barney would no more have dared to speak to the oommander of the Depart- ment of Fescama in thanfashion than he would bave put his head in a lion's mouth ; but his head was turned. "Come back on the cutter, won't you ?" he said to Miss Wallis coaxingly. " Yee, iudeed," she answered recklessly ; I know the cutter of old." Barney threw a render look at her, and arose. "Then, you must excuse me, and I will go and somebody and tell then to wait for us." And he went. The General turned to Miss Wallis a face which was 'kindness itself, and her heart emote her. " I'll tell:you about it," she said miser- ably. "We've been—Dick Barney and l— ever sinoe he was at the Point. He was a wild boy, and we—my people objected. Fin- ally I told him that I wouldn't write to him, or have him write to me, or see me, for two years. If we—oared at the end of that time, I would—" "You would marry him," the General finished. "And the two years' time is up to -day !" "And you do care ?" The girl pressed her lips together. Nervous Headache, Brain Fag, Dyspepsia. The !Suffering. of a Business Mall Overcome by Worry and Ex- hausting Brain Work—Dr. Chase's Nerve Food Cures. Sick, nervous headache and nervous dyspepsia or indigestion are usually found together, and have . a common cause in an exhausted condition of tho nerves. Modern headache powders are simply narcotics that deaden the afflicted ;nerves. They are harmful and freqUently dangerous. The only way to effect a thorough cure is to re- store the nerves by such treatment as Dr. Chase's Nerve Food. Mr. Joseph Geroux, 22 Metcalf street, Ottawa:, Ont., writes :— "1 was nervous, had headache and brain fag. I was restless at night and could not sleep. Myppetite was I poor, and I suffered from nervous dys- pepsia. Little business ares worried and irritated me. After having used Dr. Chase's Nerve Food for about two months, I can frankly say that I feel like a new man. My appetite is good, I rest and sleep well, and this treat- ment has strengthened me wonderfully. Dr. Chase's Nerve Food is certainly *fie best medicine I ever used, and I say so because I want to give full credit where it is due."

"No, I couldn't expect it," the General maid. Barney came back almost at once. "They —are going. Can you come now ?" he asked. The General excused himself. He wanted to see some people in Norfolk. And the two young poop1e went off together. He did not come over later. He tele- graphed for his things. The Maine was blown up the next Tuesday, and be was called into eerious conferences in Washing- ton. Miss Wallis went into Mrs. Swan's room when she reached the hotel and sat miser- ably down on the bed and told the whole story. She had not intended to, but the umbrella attracted her chaperon's attention. " What shall I do with the thing ?" she fairly wailed. ` "Oh, keep ft!" Mrs. Swan said wither- ingly. "Keep it by all means. You'll see rainy daye enough if you marry Dick Bar- ney. "1 don't believe it. The General will ad- vance him. He likes me, and I know—I , know he is so strong and so kind that if I ask bine to take up Diek he will." She paused and then spoke sharply. "Don't look at me like that ! I know I am a sel- fish thing." She arose hastily and went to the window and looked out, and her friend heard some- thiog choked in her handkerohief. "He's tbe best man that ever lived. If Dick had- n't corn,, back I'd have married him, and I'd have lep.d, him too.; And I'm not a bit sure that Diolf meant to come back until he saw me there with the General. He is so sensa- tional !" "He is not alone in that," We. Swan said dryly. THE END. ELEVEN YEARS MATYRDOM Health and Happiness Restored at last by Dodd's Kidney Pills. ST.

" For eleven years, he writes, "1 have suffered with headache, dwindling down to a mere shadow. I have taken all sorts of remedies, nothing doing me any good. "1 read in Dodd's almanac that Dodd's Kidney Pills would cure any fault in the kidneys, and the rest of the body would then be healthy. I decided to send for six boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills, though with- out confidence. " But today I am completely cured.

Let each of us endeavor to be the best fruit of our kind—not as large or as red as the fruit we see on some other vine or tree. Make the most of yourself—your character, your mind, your soul, your heart, your op- portenities, and you will find your sphere in life. It ia absurd to say that only one kind of fruit is good fruit, as that only one circle of people in a city or a country, constitutes good society. Wherever a ooterie of oultur- ed, well•mannered, well -clothed, and well- behaved, bright. minded people congregate, there it good sooiety. Make yourself one of thine. Cultivate the morals, the graces, the charms, and enough of the frivolities to lighten the serious side of a worthy charac- ter ; bring out all of your best self. Do this for your own sake and out of gratitude to your Creator. Then, if society meeks you, and you find it amusing, very welt. But do not waste your strength in running after society. You will never catch it if you do, and if by mere chance you should clutch hold of the fringe of its mantle you would soon be snapped off like an intrusive moth. —Ella Wheeler Wilcox. • HAGYARD'S YELLOW OIL cures all pain in min or beast; for sprains, mita, bruises, cidions lumps, swellings, inflammation, ;rheumatism and neuralgia it is a specific.

The patient must of necessity endure the operation and the normal anaesthetic, which are quite sufficient to tax the vital powers to their full capacity. To add alcohol to the double burden is to make it a triple one, and to so far endanger life. If the United States would rule the world, whiten the distant seas with the sails of commerce, ex- tend her intellectual realm till her voice is law in the capitals of the Orient, let her for two generations abandon alcohol and she can realize her ambition."—Irish Temperance League Journal. _ Hogan Had Nerve. "1 hear that Hogan is sick," said the barber. " Yes, but he's better now," said the baliff. "He went to a dootor, who looked him. over, and then wrote out a prescrip- tion." "How much will that cost, doo ?" asked Hogan. "About a dollar and a half," says the doctor. "Have you got that much to lend me, deo ?" says Hogan. "The doctor took the prescription back and crossed off all the items except aqua - pure.' " "You can get that for ten cents," he said, handing it back to Hogan, "and here's a dime." "Don't I have to take those things you scratched off?" asked Hogan: " No," says the doctor. "Those are nerve tonics. You don't need them."

Taught Him a Lesson. - We may sometimes learn more from our failures than from our success, a truth well illustrated in; the case of a policeman of a Western City, ats the story ie told by the Cincinatti Times. It was one of the rain- iest nights of the,season. The chief of police, driving homeward in his buggy, passed an officer who was leaning againet the lee side of a, pratrol-box. The chief spoke to him, and finally invited him to ride. The police- man readily accepted the invitation, climb- ing into the buggy, and the following con- versation ensued: "How long have,you been on this beat, Mr. Officer ?" I Only a couple of days. I'm a sub, ai d don't know very much about this businees yet." . "How far does your beat extend ?" 'To Mohawk street, I think.' Bridge,t hJustren. " ?'r Some say he is strict disciplinarian, some say he 1 d a goo fellow, and others say that he is a sonrefengun ; but I don't know him from the other policemen, though. on Hamilton Pike. Deitech is his name, but I have never seen him." " What kind; of fellow is thie Deitsch ? Do you know "No, I don't. I hear a good deal about " Oh, some old German that lives up here " Who is your superintendent of police cie I anything about him. I suppose he is all then the buggy passed Mohawk and the Colonel said: " What bridge is this ?" "Mohawk Bridge, I think they call it." "1. it the end of your beat ?" "Ob, I guess, it is ; but that doesn't make much difference. It is a bad night and nothing's going on," chatted the new cop. "Well, aten't you afraid some of your superiors will find you off your beat ?" "Not likely to. - The lieutenant won't go out far to -night, and the old stiff up the pike has been snoozing for six hours, I guess. He wouldn't be around in this weather." , Here the buggy pulled up in front of the colonel's home, and turning to the man, he said : "This is where I live and I may as well say then I am Colonel live, . The officer's eyes bulged out and his hair stood up on end as he gasped, "Then I'm done for 1" "Never mind," paid the chief. "Just let this be a 'mon to you. Never get in a buggy with any one, never leave your beat, never go on the beat until you are familiar with its boundariernand don't talk too mah. Now get back to your poet." "0d that man," says Chief Deitsch, "is to -day the best officer on the force." THAT aching head can be instantly relieved byf taking one of MILBURN'S STERLING HEADACHE: POWDERS.

"Please pass me them pertaters, mister," he said, addressing an elegant gentleman who sat next him. The latter slowly focussed his gold - mounted eyeglass on the speaker. "Did you think I was one of the wait- ers ?" he asked, icily. The others held their knives and _forks suspended in mid-air, expecting to see the men shrivel up, but no such phenomenon took place. He had turned and beckoned to the nearest waiter. "Waiter, come here, please." " Yee, sir." "1 want to apologize to you, that is all. You see, I mistook this party ,here for you, but I hope you won't be pffended at it. Now pass them pertaters, and we'll go on with the dinner 1" • He Meant Business. A Davenport boy went to New York, says Success, to solicit a, poeition to travel for a wholesale house. He went five times to one establishment, and every time he was told that they did not want to engage- him. He tried to prevail on them to allow him to make a trial trip, but to no avail. Finally he proposed to buy a small stook of goods. This was business, and they Were ready to sell. He then went on the road on his own account and made money, so that when the firm saw that he meant business they were oman's eakness A woman's reproductive organs are in the most in- tense and c-ontinuous sym- pathy with her kidneys.

The story is told of a little girl from an east end slum, who was invited to a oharit3r dinner at a great house in the west end of London, England. In the course of the meal the little maiden, startled her hostess by propondeeing the : " Does your husband drink ?" " Why, no," replied the astonished lady of the house. After a moment's pause the miniature- querist proceeded with the equally bewilder- ing questions : "How much coal do you burn? What - is your husband's salary? Has he any barb habits ?" By this time the presiding genic's of the. table felt called upon to ask her humble, guest what made her ask such strange questions. was the innocent reply, " mother told me to behave like a lady, and when= ladiee call at our house they always ask mother those questions."

Some time ago he was pissing through Gothenburg, on hie way to inaug- urate a new railway. At the station he was accosted by a Jewish journalist, who had been sent to the inauguration as -a reporter to some big Danish paper. The journalist wanted a oopy of the speech to telegraph to his paper, bemuse he had no time to wait for its delivery, if the speech was to appear in his paper the next morning. So he asked the King to give him a copy of the speech he intended to deliver. "That is impossible," said the King- " I have not written it out yet," The journalist was not, however, to be baffled. He explained that it was of vital importance that a copy of the speech should' appear in his paper' that he, personally, would be in despair ifhe did not get it, and so worked on the King't feelings that he cried out : "Oh, well, come into my oarriaga and I will tell you what I am going ti. say. The newepaper man needed no second bidding. The King, without the use of any notes, dictated to him the whole of the long speech which it was his intention to. deliver. —One of elle oldest residents of Berlin passed away on Wednesday evening of last week, in the person of Rev.

The orders in fan received mean an e nditure of about $1,800,000. Daring 1 the Department of Agriculture, which carries oub' the War Office orders, shipped about 25,000 tons of hay to South Africa. Since the be- ginning of the present year 48,000 tons have been exported, and a further quantity of about 20,000 tons will be exported during August and September. This will make 93,000 tons.
