"Next time, doctor," I said feebly,
"let me go. My life is of little moment
to me."
As I spoke Helen, who had gone out
of the room for something, returned.
"All, Miss Stanfortb," said the doc-
tor, "I will leave the patient in your
care. You seem to be always on hand
when be needs you and to know exact

"I will relieve you, doctor," she said
quietly.
The doctor gathered up his belong-

• curious earnestness that I could not ,
interpret. As she had been the Indirect 1

brandy.
Without noticing the proof of my in-

me the glass and when I had taken a

coolness was beginning to irritate me.
"I have a mind to get up and go on,"
I said. "I don't believe there is any
danger."
"What did the doctor say?'
"IIe told me to keep quiet as I val-

"You don't value your life; therefore
you will get up and go on -in other

I was acting ungraciously, recklessly,

within the limits of its inclosure."
This was my complaint as I paced
my room one morning shortly after the
accidental reopening of my wound. My
impatience was not without cause. I
had gone south, as I have said, with
two objects -to find my enemy and to
gather information. I had failed in

Digest Wdll?
When tho food is imperfectly digested
the full benefit is not derived from it by
the body and the purpose of eating is de-
feated ; no matter how good the food or
how carefully adapted to tho wants of the
body it may bo. Thus the dyspeptic often
becomes thin, weak and debilitated, energy
is lacking, brightness, snap and vim aro
lost, and in their place come dullness, lost
appetite, depression and langour. It takes
no groat knowledge to know when ono has
indigestion, some of the following symp-
toms generally exist, viz.: constipation,
eouratomaoh, variable appetite, headache,
heartburn, gas in tho stomach, eto.
The great point is to euro it, to get back

curred to me before setting out that,
after finishing my military mission, I
might still wish to continue my search.
for my enemy. Besides, there were
other contingencies, such as arrest or
illness, which needed to be provided
for. I bad therefore arranged that the
general's favorite scout should be at
Iluntsville on the morning of the 1st
of April to receive any communication
I might find it necessary to transmit.
If I were prevented from meeting him,
I was to send a messenger and had de-
vise(' a code of signals by which he
0
might be recoanizecl. The appointed
day was drawing near, I was not able
to keep my appointment, and there was
no one at band to whom I could in-
trust the message.
I chafed till I had exhausted my small
store of strength, then threw myself
on my couch. Little Ethel came in
and, like a soft ray of sunlight break-
ing through stormelouds, turned my
thoughts into gentler channels. She
held in her hand a bouquet of flowers
which, it was ensy to see, she intended
for me, but needed encouragement to
offer• I finally induced her to do so
and to admit that she had been out a
long while looking for them for me es-
pecially. I tried to unloosen her
tongue, to induce her to confide in me,
but in spite of all I could do she re-
mained shy, and there was ever present
that awe she bad shown before of one
who had taken a life.
"Why do you look at me in that way?"
I asked.
Slip made no reply, casting down her
eyes at 103, brown hand, which held her
dimpled fingers.
"You mustn't dread me because I am
obliged to fight," I continued. "These
are wartimes. There are a great many
soldiers In the land who think nothing
of killing one another"
"Don't they?" She raised heir eyes,
wide open with surprise.
"Of course war is cruel, but -but it•
calls out much that is noble."
"When they kill each other?"
'What puzzling questions to come
from such untutored lips! I was cast-
ing about for some explanatory reply
when a sudden interruption relieved
my embarrassment. A negro boy dash-
ed into the room, through it and out
of another door. He was followed by

ayes."
"Don't be alarmed. That's only a
boy's passion. It won't amount to any-
thing."
"IIe says such dreadful words."
"That's habit. Ile doesn't mean any-
thing by it. But it's a habit that should
be broken."
I soon got her quieted, and she prat-
tled about her dolls, her playhouses,
some pet rabbits and a nook in the gar-
den where she kept them. How singu-
lar that war, which absorbed all about
her, should have no place in her mind.
Amid all the turmoil, the r.dmbling of
cannon, the tramp of men and horses,
bushwhacking, skirmishing, battles,
this innocent little maid was strangely
out of place. Her mother came in pres-
ently and took her away, fearing that
she would annoy me. I was loath to
part with her. No healing balm had
been applied to my wound no soothing,
so grateful, as was her prattle to my
fevered brain and chilled heart.
They had scarcely left me when
Buck stalked into the room, his boyish
face as free from passion as if he had
never been ruffled. IIe had made sev-
eral attempts to visit me, notwithstand-
ing that he had been forbidden the
room. Seeing the coast clear, he slip-
ped in unannounced and began a fire of
questions.
"Does It hurt?"
"My arm? Yes, it hurts some."
"I'in glad yo' plunked him."
"Why do you sympathize with me in-
stead of the other? You have only seen
me a few times."
This was too much for him to ex-
plain. I could see that he had conceiv-
ed an admiration for me, but he could
not tell why.
"What did he try to kill yo' fo'?" he
asked.
"Well, perhaps it was because my ex-
istence annoyed him."
"What did yo' want to kill him fo'?"
"I found it inconvenient to have him
Shooting at me."
"I'd like to shoot a man. I shot a
rabbit once, but that's purty small
game. Pop, he won't let me have a
gun yet. ' Ile says I may have one

"Buck!" called a voiee from the hall.
The boy dropped behind a sofa. An old
negro woman entered and looked
around.

I was about to interfere, but a nate=
ral distaste at giving away a fellow
creature caused me to desist.
"I thought I hearn dat chile talltin."
The woman stood still a moment, but,
hearing no sound, lumbered out of the
room. The boy popped up from his
hiding place as soon as she bad gone,
"I like yo'," were the first words he
uttered. "Yo' wouldn't tell on a feller,
would yo'?"
"Iiow could I when you are glad I
'plunked' my enemy? Is that your
mammy?"
"Yes; that's Lib."
"Nursed you from a baby?"
"Yes, an she reckons she's goin to
nurse me all my life."
"Is your name Buckingham?"
"Buckingham! No; I ain't got any,
suet' doggone name as that! My name's'
Buckeye."
"flow did you happen to get that
name?"
"'Cause I was horned thar."
"Where?" a: te,
"In Buckeye." a„
"In Ohio?" s`tt1'
"Reckon 'tis the same."
I contemplated Buck for awhile with-
out hearing any of the questions he
contiuued to Ore at me. Why not in-
trust him with the message? There
was every reason why I should not do
so except that be was devoted to me
and I had no one else to send. While
I was deliberating Lib came in, sur-
prised him, dragged him out of the
room and shut the door.
I heard footsteps on the veranda,
then in the hall, then ascending the
staircase, as of people carrying a bur-
den. The door bad evidently been shut
to prevent my seeing what was being
done. Per awhile there was a hurrying
to and fro, and I knew that something
unusual had occurred. After all had
been quieted Buck, who had mean-
while escaped from his dusky captor,
slipped back to forbidden ground.
It occurred to me that I could draw
from Buck the solution of the recent
commotion, but what passed under the
roof of my friends was no concern of
mine, and I scorned to get it from a
mere boy. But I wished to test Buck's

"Fudge! What is my life to you?" I
snapped my fingers.
"A good deal just now. It is un-
pleasant to have a person die on one's
bands."
I was in no condition for this en-
cottuter. A buzzing was going on in
my cars, a tingling sensation in my
limbs. My genet's were giving way,
null I was obliged to sit clown on the
sofa. I looked longingly at a bottle of
brandy that stood on the table, but was
too proud to ask for it. In a moment

"Forget it. Lie still. and you will

by a table and took up a book. "I will

She read for perhaps half an hour.
I supposed she was interested in the
book, for she turned one page after an-
other and seethed to have forgotten me.
At last she put clown the volume, and

I called Jackson and told him to tell

Confederate bill from my pocket and
handed it to the darky, but be went oft
grumbling that he didn't "want no
Yankee money, and mas'r wouldn't

to me, who came in looking somewhat
astonished that 1 should take sufficient
interest in him to call for him.
"Buck," I said, "I have something
important to say to you"
"What is it, Mr. Braudystone?"
"Branderstane. Please don't make
that mistake again."
"I won't, shot"
"Buck, I'm thinking of sending you
on an errand, but it's a great secret,"
The boy's eyes grew as big as saucers.
I cooked at him for a few moments to
observe the effect of my anu'ounce-
ment and then went on:
"If you should tell any one, It might
cost me my life. You wouldn't tell,

I put neither address nor signature to

would bo conclusive evidence against

I wrong hands.
"Buck," I said, "mount your pony

house on the square. Go up stairs and
out on the front gallery. At 12 o'clock
a man with black eyes, long hair and
a pointed beard will walk out on the
gallery. Don't say anything to him.
Wait, and after awhile he'll say some-
thing to you."
"Will he?" asked the boy, his eyes
full of wonder. "What'll he say?"
"He'll say, 'It's a fine day.' "
"What, 1f it's rainiin?"

I put him through his lesson till be
had learned it perfectly. Then I sent
him away with the injunction that, in
case anything should go wrong with
him. rather than part with the paper he
was to swallow it. I rolled it into a
ball and put it into the lining of his

I bade hits go, and be marched out as
