A Test bf Honor. A (A story written by one of t High School teachers. We leave t reader to guess who the hero ai heroine are.) ? Billy Marchant walked buoyant up the wide stone steps of his swe? heart's home. He was happy; yet close observer 'could easily discei an anxious look on his hindson face. Billy was soon in the drawir room before a roaring fire. In a fe minutes Miss Terry came in and h troubles began. "Bessie," said Billy, v though h heart was beating furiously, "Bessie you promised me an ?nswer-'toda; and I've come for it. Say you lo^ me, say that you will be mine, swee heart and--" ? \ ' y "Careful, Billy dear, careful,'1 warned Miss Terrye, "don't let yoi Southern inclinations lead you into' lifetime bargain. Hold one 1 Don't yo dare." ' -jj) - \ "Billy," said Miss* Terry, a fe minutes later, when all was quh again, "are you going to enlist?" "I had a letter from Governc Smith today. , He offered me a cai tain's ^ commission in the Sevent regiment. Of cours? Fm going. Bu sweetheart-" Bessie Terry arose from her chai and gazed down at Billy with a scon ful stare. "You are going, to South "Carolina You are going to fight again you flag? You are a rebel!" "I was born and reared in Sout] Carolina, you know,^' said Billiy. "Yes, I know. But you have beei in the law here for four yews. Yoi are a New Yorker now, Billy." Billy quietly shook his head. "I be long to ;the state of my birth. Yoi ?wouldn't want me to be a-traitor tc my sovereign state, would you?" "That's what you are, a^traitor tc your flag. ' Billy, I'll give you one chance. If you love me enlist in tht New York Infantry. Father can give you a captain's commission. If you don't love me and value my love, go to your little South State vand don't even come to tell me good-bye." With these words Bessie left the; room. Billy's mind was in a turmoil. Slow ly he walked home,, scarcely knowing where his footsteps led. He stalked up to his room, slammed the door, threw his coat and. hat on' the table, and sat down to think, the matter over. In vain he wrestled with him self. But hie love for the girl was an equal match for his sense bf duty his love for his native state-so the combat was fierce; for hours Billy sat perfectly quiet, while his brain raged. "A girl that would put such a prop osition to a man does not deserve but oh! my I Bessie, how can I give you up? I love you! I love you! The next evening found Billy again in his sweetheart's drawing room. She'suppressed a little sigh when she saw how haggard and worn he was, and her heart smote her. "Billy, you have come tb tell me." "That I will have to give you up, Bessie.- I must go to my country. I leave tonight." With a little cry Bessie threw her self into his arms, and he folded her to himself and kissed her. i . "But-but, I don't understand," said poor Billy. "Don't you see, darling! It was you ! I was testing you, not your, love for me. I knew you loved me, Billy. You are a man!" \ Part II. (Three years later.) Bessie Terry casie out of the li brary in tears. Her father's words w?r? ringing in her ears. "No! You cannot even communicate with him. He's a rebel ! He "killed your brother at Gettysburg-my, poor' son. How can you even speak of him? I forbid you to have anything to do with him. The traitor." "But father," protested the girl,. \ V \ .... - \ % ?Our large assortment of fall force, together with the ver will make your fall shoppin; In ; which were bought early in ne?d fpr fall and winter we; and let us show you; See Our for men and boys at price surprised.

Also, father dear, I am twenty-two years old, and I have the right to speak for myself sometime."' /, "I forbid, you to mention his name again. Go and pack your trunk. I will send you to Richmond, where your Aunt Myrtle can take care of you. She is not a traitor, if she does live in the rebel capitol." So a few days later found the lit tle party passing through the Union lines. Rev. John Smith, Bessie Ter ry's brother-in-law. had gotten ,the passes, so that he. could return to Richmond after a visit to his wife's brother. At the Potomac the Union officer, detailed-by Gen. McClellan to guide the party through the Union ilnes, departed and the carriage . crossed over, into Virginia-the rebel terri tory. They had traveled scarcely three mijes miles before "they were sur rounded by Union soldiers. "What have we here? Spies, by Jove," ex claimed the officer in command. "Pife out, you," this tb the Rev. John Smith. Then seeing th? ladies, "Oh, pardon, ladies, but you will have to do me the honor of returning to our side of thc Potomac, and report to headquarters." In vain the preacher protested." The carriage was turned back and with sorrowful hearts they began to retrace their steps. Suddenly the officer who was rid ing by the side of the carriage began giving order in short, quick sen tences. Then. .there was a sound of gallbping? horses, cursing men, and popping pistols. "Charge," rang^ out. an order, in a clear voice. Then bedlam broke loose. But it lasted only a few minutes. Soon the carriage was surrounded by grey-coated men. "Order, there!"; The same ringing vioce spoke out, and a young officer galloped up to the carriage in which the^ terrified young girl and no less terrified min ister sat. i ^ "Billy!" Bessie almost shrieked the glad words. "Why, by all that is glorious!" and Captain Marchant jerked open the carriage door and clasped the tremb ling girl in his arms. The officers . began crowding around, and Captain Marchant came to earth again. "Sweetheart, I thought I had lost you. You should have seen the letter I got from your father. But I love you, and your father and 'the whole Union - army cannot get between us again. If we were only married!" "Billy, ?Uncle John 'is a minister. Let's get married now.'" "I thought, from my brother-in law's description of you that you were an ogre. I find you are a gen tleman, sir, and I'll be proud to mar ry you right now." The Union officer, standing where the carriage had crossed the Potomac was starlted a few moments later by thunderous cheers, mixed with rebel yells, which came from the reb el side.-? But Captain Marchant and Mrs. Marchant were so happy that all the ?heers, intended for them fell on deaf sars. 1 merchandise in every department and our courteous sales yr low price at which we are selling1 first-class merchandise, g easy at our store.
