1.
I think it well to announce, right in
the beginning of thisestory, that Idilfts
Bunkly is not properly its hero, though
110m0 preliminary things must be told
concerning him. Although Miles had
loved Miss Caroline Thigpen long before
Mr. Bill Williams courted hereyet he
never had told her so inject words, un
you may say it was too late.
Yet everybody was surprised. Miles
wee a, most excellent young man, in-
dustrious, sober, thrifty, fond of laying
up, and had a right good deal laid up
already. Then he was quite passable
as to looks. Mr. Bill could not have
been said, even by Miss Thigpen, to
have any advantage of Miles as to looks.
As for the rest, alt except Miss Thig-
pen and his own mother considered
him the inferior. Yet Dukesborough
manners, or something else, put him in
the lead on his first entry upon the
field. It was theh, and not till then,
that Miles Buukly made one, and, but
one, avowed effort, and failing, gave up
the contest, and resigned himself to
what ha called molloncauly.
He had. never been—at least he had
never teemed to be—a cheerful minded
person anyway. His courtship even
hut been a rather eolenac piece of busi-
ness, and the final declaretion sounded
somewhat as if he had invited Miss
Thigpen to go with himto the grave-
yard instead of taking charge of his do-
mestic affairs. The lady, after gently
declining his snit, and claiming the
privilege of regarding him as a friend—
nay, a brother—announced. her inten-
tion of ever keeping his proposal a se-
scret, and requested him to do the
Mine.
“No, ma'am," said Miles; "no ,Miss
Car:line. I shall not deny it, ner I
shall not deny it. I'm much obleeged
to you, and shall be aeiriend to you and
to yourn. The wound is in my heart,
and it '11 stay titer, and it '11 be obleeg-
ed to stay thar, bat I'll be a friend to
you and yearn."
On his way home he called to his
neighbor and friend Abram Grice, who
was standing in his door:
"Mawnin , Abom."
"Mawnint, Miles, 'Light and conie
in."
"Step out here a minute, Abom, ef
you pleases"
Mr. Grice came out to the gate.
"Kicked, Abom."
"Kicked, Miles ? Who?"
iMe. 71 -
"Kicked bad, Miles ?"
'Powerful."
"Your horse, Miles, or a mule, or a
steer ?"
"Nary one. It's here, Abom."
Then he laid his hand broadly on his
breast.
"In the stomach, Miles? Bad place
to git kicked. What in thunder kicked
you 'way u.p thar? (}it down, come
in and take a drink, and, tell me about
it afterward."
"It's not my stomach, Abom; it's
ray bras. The waound's inside —'wat,
inside. Sperrits wouldn't do it any
good ; it wouldn't retch it."
"My goodness gracious ! Miles Bunk-
ly, what in. the dickens is the matter
with you ?"
"Pve been yonder, Abom," and he
pointed mournfully toward the Thig-
pens', "and my desires is toe tell no lies.
I got it from a human person over thar,
and that not of the sect of a man per-
son."
"Who ?—Miss Carline ?"
"Ef I was to name the name, Abom,
that were the name I should tame."
Mr. Grim) shouted with laughter.
"Miles Bunkly, you skeered me out
of a year's growth. 1 thought you been
kidleed lay a team o' rauleEt, or at least a
yoke o' steer& Well, look here, you
ain't a-goin' te stay kicked ?"
"It's dope done, Abom."
“Yes, but, Miles, I've knowed Bich as
that ondone. Why, Serena kicked me
three times han' mania% but I told
her every time she done it that sich
talk is that didn't pheze me. That's
woraen, Miles. Them's their ways.
Therein% a-goin' to let a fellow know,
not at the first off -start, that they
gain' to have him. I dont know what
it's for, 'Mont it's jes natchelly to try
to git the whip -hand of hire at the
!dart. It's the .natchel tnstirto of the
women sect. You go beak to Carlin°
Thigpen, and don't • let on that
you 'member anything abbot her kick -
in' of you, and that yoi ain't even
phaztel by it. Yon're so r slow, -old
fellow—that is, in inchmotions—but
Carline Thigpen got too nuch sense to
give up sich a chance."
"'Nothor person, Ab m," replied
Miles, roost mournftilly "'nether. per.
son, of the male sect."
"Who's he ?"
",William Williams."
"Who? Bill -Williams " exclaimed
Mr. Grice, in astonishm t and dis-
gust.
“That's the name of the man,
Abom."
"Well, Miles Bunkly, f you can't
whip out Bill Williams, von with his
Dukestorough ways he go by livin' in
town six mouths, all I got to say ie you
ought to git kicked by a oke o' steers,
-
and run over by the kear in the bar-
gain.
Such and s• imilar remon trances were
ineffectual to make Mr. Bunkly eats
tinue the contest. He re ired at-oncea
leaving the field to his rival. At the
wedding, though he did not join in the
dance, nor even in the plays, yet he
partook sufficiently, it w s thought, of
meats, cakes, and sylIal4ub. Mr. Bill
and Miss Caroline, her 1rother Allen
and his young bride etsann, were
specially attentive to 1i14 wants. He
yielded with profound sa nestZ to their
persistent offering& of god things, and
the more syllabub he took,, the mourn-
faler grew his deportment. To several
persons, mainly elderly, he said during
-the evening that it was the mollon-
°holiest of all days to him.
"Yit, farthersomemore," he would
add, with touching unselfishness, "ef
her who is now Missis Carlin° Williams,
and who were Miss Carline Thigpen,
be it her or be it hern, ef her or them
might eever want for anything which it
might be her, and their good rights or
their desires, and ef then I'm adivin'
providing, you understand., I'm a-livin'
—they shall have it, ef it's in ray
retch.'
• II.
Some four years passed. Mr. Bunk -
ley, though plunged in his dear melari-
eholy, yet attended punctually to his
business in a gloomy, slow, sure way,
made good crops, sold at good time,
added to his land and plantation stock,
and claiming to despise wealth, heaped
it up more and more, as if to show,
evidently, howvain are earthly goods
for the happiness of , a man in whose
breast is an incurable wound.'
Mr. Bill Williams was getting along,
toe, betterthan had been expected and
prophesied. Aftioli of the exuberant vi-
vacity contracted by several months'
residence in town had subsided in
these four years of living with a wife
)a settled 'omen, he styled , her) who
was probably the most industrious wo-
man in the neighborhood. He well
knew that everybody believed Miss.
Thigpen to have made a mistake in
preferring himself to Miles Bunkly,
and he had said to himself at the be
of his conjugal career that he
should take it upon himself to con-
vince the world that it was mistaken.
When his twin sons, Romerlus and
Remerlus, were born and named, he
felt that he was making reasouable
headway onthat ambitious road. Then
he too had added somewhat to his
estate, and his wife, a famous weaver,:
had picked up many a dollar by her
extra work. They did not rise as
Miles, but 'Miles remained but one,
While Mr. Bill, so to speak, had been
two, and now he was four. People can
not ignore figures in such calculations,
especially when they represent months.
Never mind, thought Mr: Bill—never,
mind. Thus the contemplation 'of a
former rival, With whom, however, he
was on the friendliest terms, spurred a
nature that otherwise ntiglat have been
wanting in the energy becoming the
head of a family. The coming of the
twins lengthened, strengthened and
sharpened this spur wonderfullt
Only one thing interfered with the
happiness of that rising family, and
that was becoming serious. It would
sting the wife painfully sometimes
when she would hear of the _practical
jokes put upon her 'husband, who had
become 'rather , liable thereto by what
had been considered in the neighbor -
his -too great forwardness of speech and
other deportment. Too great a talker,
as frora the very first she had told hire.
he was, ehe would tell him further that
a man who got into scrapes ought to
get out of them. In these four years he
had. sobered ranch under that benign
influence. Yet when a man has once
been the butt of neighborhood ridicule,
it requiree time to release him even
when he has ceased to deserve it.
Sometimes it seems that the only wee
to obtain such release is to fight for it.
That exigency, in the opinion of Mrs.
Williams, had now arrived.
One night, when the children had
been put to bed, she said, “William,
you've got to whip SOMebody."
She spoke pointedly. ;
Mr. Bill looked behindhim at the
trundle bed, and asked himself, 1s it
Baba, or is it Reme ?"
"Nary one," was the audible 'an-
swer.
"It's somebody bigger'n theni, har-
der to whip, and a more deservin' of
it."
Then Mr. till peered through the
wiudow into the outer darkness, and
speculated if there were insubordina-
tion among his little lot of negroes.
"Nor them neither. It's white folks;
it's Mose Grice, that's who it is, and
it's nobody else—that is, to start
with. .
Mr. Bill was startled. Colonel Moses
Gricebad indeed been extrernely rough
with Mr. Bill on several occasions, and
(being a childless married man, and
thought to be sore on that point) had
especially and repeatedly ridiculed the
father of the twins. Yet he was a man
of insane, a censiderable- fighter, tend
colonel of the regiment. So Mr. Bill
was Obliged to he startled, and he leek -
ed at his wife.
"You've been joked by Mose Grice,
William, and Poked fun at, and made
game of by him, until I don't feel like
standin' of it no longer, nor I don't
think Rom and Reme would feel like
standin' of it, not if they were big
enough and had sense enough to under -
sten' his impudence."
"Why, Cartine—" remonstrated Mrl
Bill.
"Oh, you needn't be a-Carlinin'
me!" she said. And never before had
Mrs. Williante addressed her husband
in precisely that language. But her
feelings had been hurt, and allowance
ought to be made. She cried some;
what, but tears did not serve at once to
produce the softening influence that is
their' legitimate result. •
"There's brother Allen," she con-
tinued, "and which Betsann told me
herself that Allen told her that the
fact of the business was, if you didn't
make Mose Grice keep his mouth fillet,
'specially about Born and Reme, he
would; and then there's Miles Bunk-
ly—"
"Oh, Lordie ?" exclaimed Mr. Bill.
"There's Miles Bankly, and which
Betsama says is about as mad as brother,
and which, ef he ain't any fighter, yit,
when Mose Grice was one day a•makin'
game of him about his molloecholy,
Miles told him that his molloncholy
was his business and not his'n, and
that if he kept on meddlint with it, he
naout ketch the disease, and Mose
Grice let Miles Bunkly's molloncholy
alone, he did."
"And then," Mr. Bill said afterward
"Carlin° sot up a cry, she did, and it
woke up Rom and Reme, and they sot
Ili° a howl apiece, and I says to myself,
I'll stand a whippin' from Mose Once
rather'n run agin sich as this."
After that night Mrs. Williams :lid
not again allude to its matter of conver-
sation, and was as affectionate to her
husband -as always. Mr. B11 gloried
in the possession of her, and he heel
good reason. He brooded and brooded.'
The allusion to Miles Bunkly stung him
deeply, usually irciperturbable as his
temper was, though not a jot . of jeal-
ousy was in the pang. He would have
known himself to be the greatest of
of fools to feel that. Yet, easy going,
self-satisfied as he was, he knew that
• other people, including his brother-in-
law, still regarded his wife less fortun-
ate than she might have been. The
more Mr. Bill brooded, the more seri-
ous appeared to hire the relation of his
case to that of several others, especially
Colonel Grice.
Superadded to a general disposition
to impose upon whomsoever would en-
dure hint Colonel Grice had a spite
against Mr. Bill on account of the
friendship that, since the intermarriage
with Miss Thigpen, had grown up be.

Colonel's younger brother, whose rela-
tions with himself were not only not fra-
ternal, but -hostile. The colonel was 4

fighter, and had managed somehow
aiways to come victorious out of cam
bat; for he was a man of powerful
build, and of great_viger and activity.
Some, indeei, had often said that he
knew whom to encounter an& whom
not. His position of head of the regi-
ment had been obtained at a time
when military ardor, after a long peace,
had subsided, and leading citizens
cared not for the seka of the office. He
had sought it eagerly, and obtained it
because there was no strong competitor
and especially because his election was
expected and intended to ridicule and
discourage regimental parades. He
was greatly exalted by hiaelection, and
became yet more overbearing whenever
he could do so with safety.
"That's Mose," said his brother Ab-
ram one day to Miles Bunkly—"that's
jest him. He'll impose on anybody
that'll let him, and he'll try it with
anybody that he thinks likes me. He's
been so from a boy. He imposed on
me till I got big enough to whip him,
which I done a time or two, and then
he quit it. But he took his revenge on
me by itheatin' me out of part o' the
property, and he done that the quicker
because he knowed I, bein' of his
brother, wouldn't prosecute him for it.
That's Mose—that's jest him." '
"I hate the case, Abom," answered
Miles, "because I has that respects of
Carline Williams that it mortify me,
and make me, So to speak, git !mollon-
°holier than what I natchelly arp, to see
a man. that's her husband, and ; the fa-
ther, as it were, o' them two fair pinks
of boys„runned over in the kind o'
style that Mose- run over him, nigh and
in about every time he come up along
of William Williams. I never keered
no great deal about him, with them
town ways o' his'n, untell he were mar-
ried to Miss Carlin°, and then I know -
ed that there were obleeged to be that
in Wm.Williams which people he general
never suppoeened."
"Ah, Miles, old fellow," said Abram,
"you ought to took that prize, and you'd
'a done it ef you'd 'a listened to me, and
been perter in your motions, and hilt
on longer."
"No, ne, A.bom," answered Mile%, his
arm giving a mournful deprecatory
wave. "It were not my lot. ,I tried,
and I tried honest and far. I were not
worthy of Miss Carlin°, Abom. I
didn't know it, but she did. Acid yit I
could see it hurt her to put the waound
where she knowed it were obleeged to
stay. I wasn't a eupposenen, though,
as to that, that William were worthy
of Miss Car'line neither. But Carlin°
Thigpen—I ain't a•speakin' o' Your
wife now, Abom, and a-leavin' of her
out o' the case—Car'line Thigpen'but
whieh she is now Carline Wil-
liams, is the smartest woman, and got
the best jedgment, I ever. saw. And
sence she have choosed William Wil-
liams, I been certain in my mind that
there were that in William Williams
that the balance of us never supposened
and' which '11 show itself some day if
William Gan ever git fairly fotched to a
right pint."
Thus that nature, upright, unselfish,
simple, fond to persuade itself that it
was unhappy, took ite chief solace in
contemplating and magnifying its own
disappointments, and in sympathizing
with those who had been their chief
occasion.
IV.
It was muster day for the battalion.
Colonel Grice always felt it his; duty to
be at these occasione, preparatory to
the great regimental parade. The ex-
ercises, after many boars, were coming
to an end, as the companiee marched,
with short intervals between, down the
one street of the village, preparatory to
disbandment. Alternately had the
colonel been complimentary and cen-
sorious, as he rode, sometimes in a
walk, other times at full gallop, up and
down the lines.
"Peerter, peerter, major," he remon-
strated with Major Pounds, respectful-
ly indeed, but with a warmth that
seemed difficult to repress—"peerter ;
make them captains peerten op them
lines! My blood and thunder! my
Juberter and Julus °wear! if the ene-
my was to come on as with fixted ban -
nets— Oh, you've done your part
admarrably, major. It's them cap-
,
tains."
It wasjust before the -final halt that
the colonel addressed Ceptain Collins,
whose company was in the centre, and
then immediately in front of Bland's
store. "Ah, Cap'n Collins; look to
your ran It's so far behind that it
look likes two companies 'stid -o' one.
That sergeant o' yourn you'll have to
talk to and drill in private. He's after
makin' twins out o' yeur company. Ser-
geant Williams is a great man for twins
you know, cap'n. But you better tell
him to make 'em keep his cubs at
home. We want solid columns when
we come to the field of battle."
The warrior epjoyed his jest, that had
been heard by all in the conapany, and
others beside. But he did not allow
himself even to smile whe the head
of the military forces of li.k country, in
order to keep himself ever bthe alert
against sudden attacks of her.enemies.
His gloomy brow indicated , indignation
at the thought that a petty subaltern,
from some vain notion ofemaking his
own donaestic status the model of the
nation's principal means of 'defense,
sought to demoralize it, and actually in.
vite invasion.
"My Lord !" said Allen Thigpen,
when they told him, "if Bill don't fight
him for that, I will! To think that
sister Carline's feelin's is to be .hurt by
hearin' of sich as that !"
"I don't think, Ahem," said Miles
(who everheard the remark), "that it
can be put off any longer. Ef there's
that in William Williams which I been
a-supposen is obleeged to be thar, he'll
fetch it out now. Now you go right on
home, Ahem."
