In the shelter of the kopje, her face turned towards it, lay a young girl, her print ?own torn and stained, her face- like -.hat of the dead, her eyes closed, her hair falling la tangled masses about her face. She was frightfully pale, and at first they thought she was dead. "Feel her heart. Preston," said Greene, In a whisper. "What an ema ciated creature! Is she dead?" "I den't think r,o," said the other. "Quick! gve m 3ome water. Greene!" The cthor obeyed, and Preston put cme to the white, stiff lips. Th liquid seemed to brin"? back a feeble flicker of lif?. Tier eyc-iida half closed, then shut agr-in. "Quick! set her on "ny horse! Wa must take her with us," said young Preston quiek'y. "We cannot leave her here to die, even if she die? In our hands. Help me, c!d fellow!" The girl was a mere featherweight. Greene uttered an exclamation as he lifted her. They carried her to Preston's Pres-ton's horse, and managed to hoist her up in front of the saddle, Greene holding hold-ing her while Preston mounted. "It'3 all right," said the latter. "I think I can manag3. Get into your own saddle and let us ride as quickly as we can and rejoin the men, Greene." "I hope she won't die in our hands," said Greene, as he tumbled into his saddle. The two speculated as to the extraordinary ex-traordinary occurrence as they rode onwards. They were young, and had perhaps a totteh of romance In their prosaic English heart3. and the lingering lin-gering traces of beauty in the seemingly seem-ingly dead face had touched them more than they would have confessed. "What's to be done with her when we get to camp? We have no place fit for a wounded girl, though our quarters may do for wounded men," said Greene. "Perhaps we can get.er sent to Ladysmlth. She could be looked after there," the other answered, reflectively. reflective-ly. As they were rearing the camp, suddenly out of the darkness it was coming down rapidly two horse3 whirled toward them, a white man and a native. "Halt! Who goes there?" said Preston, Pres-ton, as the former galloped right in front of him. Then he added, with an exclamation: "Rothes, old chap, is it you? What on earth are you doing here? And you look ill! Are you 111?" The other horseman's face was ghastly, and for a moment he seemed to stay in the saddle; but, recovering himself with a great effort, he pointed to the figure Preston was supporting with his one arm. "What have you there?" he asked, hoarsely. "I have been for six days scouring the veldt between this and Harrismith, seeking for some one who has been lost upon it; and now 1 fear you have found something. For pity's cake let me see her face. Lieutenant Preston!" Without a word the young man dismounted, dis-mounted, still holding the inanimate figure securely; then, lifting her down, he 'id her gently cn the dry sand. Adair Rothes, who bad sprung from his saddle, bent over her. A sound that was almost like a wild cry came from his lips; but no one heard it but Arthur Preston. "It is she!" he said In a moment, in a choked voice. "Thank God she i3 Btill living! You will give her into my charge, Lieutenant Preston?" CHAPTER IX. There was a farmhouse not far from Newcastle, whose owner, a kindly Scotsman. Adair Rothes had known elnce he came out to Natal. It was thither he carried Bluebell, not knowing whether she would live or die. The farmer, Mr. Dalziel. learning learn-ing the facts of the case he had already al-ready heard of the tragedy of New iKelso insisted on sending his "apl-fder" "apl-fder" at once for Miss Elizabeth, notwithstanding not-withstanding the unsettled state of the country. Bluebell was -aid in a pretty whit bed in the little bedroom, which opened, like many South African bedrooms, bed-rooms, out into the garden; and there she lay for many hours like one dead. w!th hardly a pulse to respond to Rot' 3' touch. The tide of her life was very low; It could not bo much lower. When at last it began to rise again, to his alarm it was with a wildly dis ordered pulse. She was in a high fever, fe-ver, and rared deliriously and without cessation. How much the man watching her with agonized eyes and 'racked heart was to learn of all the poor child had come through! "Water, water!" she would moan. "Not a drop! O God, let me die soon! Don't let rae endure this maddening thirst longer! Hark! that was a lion's roar! Oh, I hope it was! Better to die at once! And they say one doesn't feel pain. It is like a mouse in a cat's elaws! Oh, anything anything better than this awful burning thirst! My throat, it's like a red-hot coal!" Then she would imagine herselfin Moore's power. "No. no! I shall die before I marry you die a thousand times rather! O God, is there no help for me? Help me, merciful, kind Gcd!" Then her Toice sank to a whisper. "If Adair were here ah, he would help me! He Is good and brave. But he will never know now that I loved him." The Toice trembled a little, and then silence si-lence blessed silence came. And Adair Rothes, with trembling hands, and eyes full of passionate, longing tenderness, bent over the unconscious un-conscious girl with an agonized prayer. "Merciful Gcd. spare her to me, if It be Thy will! My darling my own darling! And she cried to me in her extremity, and I did not know of It! Bluebell. Bluebell!" Miss Elizabeth arrived in the spider twenty-four hours after, and could only wring Rothes' hand in silence, her thin, sallow, unlovely face working work-ing convulsively. "God will spare her. Miss Elizabeth." Eliza-beth." Rothes said huskily. "We both owe a debt we can never repay to the young fellcw who found her, for you know it wa3 not I who did so. We might never have seen her again but for Lieutenant Preston." . aJ4 s S ste. ytK nbc sti 4t stes&j&stsi ft By H. B. Mackeciie 5 a. Rothes knew his duty lay in Lady-smith, Lady-smith, yet he could not tear himself from Bluebell's side until he knew whether it was to be life or death. Mercifully, the delirium did not last long, and on the third day, after a long sleep, she opened her eyes, that had full reason in them, upon her aunt. "Auntie, where am I? she asked feebly. Oh. what a fearful dream I have had!" When Mis3 Elizabeth ran for Rothes the strong man felt himself trembling I like a child. He returned with her ! quickly, but he could not speak when ! Bluebell's eyes rose to h!s. I "I have had such a fearful dream, j Dr. Rothes," she whispered, her eyes ! appealing with dumb pathos to his trustful ones. "I am afraid it was a reality, though. Is my father dead? D;d Mr. Moore carry me away? And was I dying in the veldt?" "It is all true" holding the poor little weak hand In his own strong one "but, God be thanked, you are safe now safe and in good keeping. All you have to do I3 to get well." "Did you find me?" she whispered. And he felt the little hand quiver. He had determined not to speak, but the question upset all his determinations. determi-nations. He sank on his knees, holding hold-ing the little hand to his lips. "I was seeking for you six days, Bluebell; but after all it was a young officer who found yen and gave you to my keeping. Oh, Bluebell, my heart is torn in two when I think of all you have gone through and I unable to help you not knowing at first you wanted help I, wJo would give my life to save you pa.a! My darling! my own darling!" A little wave of color spread over her white face; her throat fluttered. "You love me, then?" she whispered. whis-pered. "I have loved you ever since I first met you at Maritzburg, Bluebell; but I never dared to hope. Bluebell, it seems wrong to speak of it at this terrible ter-rible time; but you do care a little, after all, about me? do you-" The little, wasted hand stroked his cheek. "I love you with all my heart. Adair. I knew it that awful night when the Boers" she paused, shuddering. "You'll take care cf me, and not let that dreadful man come near me?" He folded the hand to his breast, and, bending, kissed again and again the pale little face, cheeks, and eyes and lips. Rothes went back to Ladysmith next day. The battle of Elandslaagte had taken place, and the hospital in the little town was full. Mr. and Mrs. Dalziel were kindness itself, and Insisted on the Leslies staying stay-ing as long as ever they felt inclined. On the first day on which Bluebell was able to g?t up Adair Rothes appeared. ap-peared. It was two days after the battle of Ladysmith, of which word had been brought to the Dalzieis. Bluebell welcomed him with a blush and a smile that made Rothes' heart throb. But there was something in his face which made Bluebell's heart fret with mingled fear and anxiety. "You have some new3? What is it? Tell me quickly, Adair!" she breathed, lifting her face from its hiding place. "Ye3, my darling," Rcthes answered slowly; "I have strange new3 for you. I do not know how you will take It, Bluebell; something very terrible hap pened at the battle on Monday. Some one was killed there some one whom you knew!" "It was Gerald Moore!" said Bluebell quickly. She turned very pale, and shivered a little. "I went up to him. when the battle was nearly over, hearing him groaning. groan-ing. I did not know who he was till I was beside him. He was moaning for water, and I turned to get him some. As I did so a wounded Boer near called: 'Lcok out. doctor!' I stepped aside, and as I did so a bullet bul-let whizzed past me, striking my ear. I turned and saw Moore on his elbow, a look of such unnatural hatred on his face as I shall never forget, his gun still 1n his hand. As I turned he uttered ut-tered a strange sound, the gun dropped from his hand, and he fell back od the grassy knoll. When I reached him he was dead!" Writh a little cry Bluebell folded hei arms about her lover's neck: "Oh, Adair, thar.k God! thank God, you were saved!" For a few minutes Rothes did not speak. His strong mouth quivered a little. At last he said: "Now com? the strange news I have for you. Bluebell. Papers were found upon Gerald Moore, pnd the officer into whoee hands they fell the general. Bluebell sect for me. He knows me personally, and know3 what you are to me. Those papsrs affect you, and you only." "Adair, what can you mean?" shf asked, in startled surprise. Adair took her hand in his. and held It for a moment without speaking. "A barrier has risen up between you and me. Bluebell a barrier such as 1 never dresmt of. I am a poor man ycu are an heiress." She uttered an incredulous exclamation. exclama-tion. "It is true. Bluebell. Now we have the real reason of Moore's, determination determina-tion to merry you. He had seen an advertisement ad-vertisement In an English paper, gone hunie, learned everything, and came here with his mind firmly made up as to his own course.

The girl ching to him, her arms clasped round his neck. "I do not wish to be an heiress. I am happier as I am." "It seems," said Rothesj "that youi father's cousin died a few months ago. The lawyers are now searching for you. You must write to them. Bluebell. Blue-bell. tfl I have been thinking, dear, you and Miss Elizabeth are safer out of the country Just now. We must get ycu to Durban, thence to Scotland." She uttered a little cry, her face deathly white. "Adair! You -wish to get riLf e, tien? Oh, and I thought I thought you loved me!" He clasped her close, covering the street face with passionate kisses. "My own darling! But, Bluebell, dc you think I am so selfish as to wish to keep you here during this dark time that is coming upon U3, when you might be living in luxury and safety at home?" "And you in danger, doing your duty here?" she half sobbed. "Adair, arc you to have all the unselfishness and 1 none? No, dear, I shall not go. 1 have made up my mind." They were married. The bride's father fa-ther had ben but a month in his lonely lone-ly grave, and they were themselves in the midst of that dark tragedy which had not then ended. But human love, next to divine, can lighten the darkest dark-est sorrows and the most terrible surroundings. sur-roundings. "You are not afraid," he said, as, having bade farewell to the weeping Miss Elizabeth, who had agreed to go meantime to Maritzburg. be led his wife into the pretty little house that as beginning to look desolate and deserted in the forsaken town. She raised her sweet face to his. Her eyes were full of tears, but they had a smile in their depths. "I am sad at parting with paor aunti?," she whispered. "But I am glad, so glad, to be beside you, Adair, and I am not afraid with you, dear. Why should I be. We are together, and God Is all over, and He can take care of us in the future as Ha has in the past." (The end.) Oreat Cavalry Leader. "While Grant was cutting and sailing corclwcod, and Sherman was teaching schooi, there was a man In Memphis who was having no preparation whatever what-ever for war, and yet who was destined to make no end of trouble for these able soldiers. This was Gen. N. B. Forrest, whose life by Dr. J. A. Wyeth has recently re-cently been issued. Forrest wa3 an uneducated man and belonged to that proscribed class in the south known as "poor whites." Moreover.he was still further handicapped in any effort to Ltand on an equality with men of position posi-tion by having been a slave trader. But by native force and by a genius for action this unlettered man became the most successful cavalry leader in the south. He enlisted S3 a private, but before he realiy wont into action had been made a lieutenant colonel. In this capacity he proved that he could move men through the country with a celerity celer-ity most remarkable. He knew nothing noth-ing whatever about the principles of war.and probably never read a book on the subject in his life. It is unlikely, indeed, that he ever read many books of any kind. He was essentially a man of action, and for more than three and a half years he kept the federal commanders com-manders guessing as to where he was and what he was going to do next. Toward To-ward the close of the war Forrest's wonderful capacity was appreciated in Richmond, and he was made a lieutenant-general and put in command of all the cavalry wes!- of the Mississippi. It was too lato, however, for him to do much. Hood's army had been all but destroyed before Nashville, Sherman was marching through Georgia, and Gen. James H. Wilson was after Forrest For-rest with the strongest cavalry command com-mand ever placed in the saddle. He defeated Forrest at Selma the first time, by the way, Forrest had ever been completely beaten and shortly afterward after-ward the v.ar ended. Saturday Evening Even-ing Post.

Far inland, where some arm of the sea mrusts itself deep into the bosa-T. e1 the land and, expanding into a salt loch, has girdled by the mountains, sheltered from the storms that agitate the deep, the pebbles on the beach are rough, not beautiful angular, not rounded. It is where long white lines of breakers roar, and the rattling shingle is rolled about the strand, that its pebbles are rcunded and polished.

Broom-hill. England, has adopted the Gothenburg Goth-enburg principle. He devotes the profits (less 10 per cent) to schemes tor the benefit of tha inhabitants of the village; and has addressed the magistrates in various divisions of Northumberland urging them to give preference In the case of new licenses to applicants who would adopt .that principle.
