Miss Loretta's home was tremen dously aroused by the talk ol' the war. Tho young woman herself was stirred into passionate indignation against, the North. She was impatient for s? cession, cager for tho South to take up arms and teach the loathed "yan kees" how to let a bravo and chival rous people alone. She never doubt ed thc issue one instant. Thc de spised yankees would nut light. They would bc scattered liku chaff before thc South's aroused young manhood. Like many another patriot of her kind, she chafed with each moment that delayed the crash.

The editors upon whom I rely for facts wrote hut scantily of this pail of the young woman's career. 1 lind from what they say of lier thru she did service nf inestimable vale in Can ada as a spy. and as an agent nf the Confederacy: that she went twice to Ku rope un secret mis.-iuns ul'great import, and that she visited Wash itigtnn noire than once. I hiring thc period nf her service she was scver.il linn - in Atlanta. She was always active, always turning up something nf moment for thc I?ovcrnmcnl. Once in Washington, when she was about to he detected, she gave herself up. She was held for a time as a prisoner, ami in telling a.writer of the Atlanta Intelligencer ahnitt it two years later, she said she was well treated daring her imprisonment. Of course, bei life during all this time was chock full of excitement. When it became necessary lo execute her enterprise she did uni hesitate to put herself in trousers, bonis and coat. What a strapping young fellow she was! Many a beautys eye. no doubt, was charined hy the gallant. dashing youngster, masquerading in borrowed togs and bent on nobody but himself knew what. Finally the young woman'-- spy days were over. Ktnboldcned hy her great successes, she resolved on a holder stroke still. She bought a rough suit of men's clothing, and putting it on went out to Texas. She went aiming ; the very types of men ?d' whom I 11 o t ? s c v < lt's Hough Hiders were made j up, rough ami ready, dare-devil fel ; lows who loved a light better than a .pretty girl.

They were fighting stock, rough, hardy, adven turesome chaps, whose lives had been passed in the open, in the exciting sport of cow punching.

She was Woiimlod three times, hut not. badly. Sh?- wa- taken prisoner three times, bul alway- escaped. Thc cud of the war found her-I had starte?! to say, broken-hearted, hut such bravo hearts as hers do not break. Though the Smith had lost, though il was marked with ruin, de vastation, invasion, disorder every where, though all she had was gone in thc general wreck, and though she had lost a husband and had romo out <d' the war alono, willowed, penniless, she did ;i"t. think of despairing'. She sol i" w?irk straightway I 1 rebuild her fortunes. With tim wonderful energy which h aft carri r?l her through so much peril ami danger and which had re stilt.-d in so mueli goo i ;.> the govern ment, she wrote three h??oks. The lirst of these was --ailed "Thc Cruise of Shenandoah:" the others were "A IVrsonal History of tho War" ?iud the "I'ocius of lltiford." She was gifted with rare artistic and literary skill, and in her youth had been devoted to literature. It was not dillicult for bol to put into vivid, sparkling L'nglish tho thrilling things that bau happened to her during her four year-of service in tho war. Lu the big scrapbook in which I fourni ln r -tory are two brief newspa per clippings in which wc get thc last glimpse of this matchless young crea ture, i >ne tolls simply of her visit to Savannah, where she stopped at tho I'ulaski house. Uer business there was tn interest Savatltiahiatis in thc publication of nor three book.-, (if lur beauty, her grace, lier personal magnetism and daring qualities, tho Savannah editor said pretty much what I have set down here in differ ent words. Tho other glimpse is a Horded by the columns of an old paper whose name is fondly remem bered hy Athtntians, Tho Atlanta lu? tclligcuccr. I iloo't know who the editor ol' that paper was thc year just following thc war. Whoever ho was it was the happiness and good fortune tobo tho friend of Mrs. Dcscaulp, whom he calls tho .Joan of Vre of the Confederacy. If I cannot tell her ?tory with thc enthusiasm which he displayed, I must plead that, unlike him, i never saw her. She caine into his office ono day, he tells us, and ho had no diiliculty in recognizing in the brilliant woman before him tho beau tiful Mr.-, hescaulp whom he had met a few years before and whom he had .n at intervals ?luring tim war. t!real events hail passe?! overhead; she had been an actor in bloody dra ma-: she had wept at the bier of her southland and bad mourned a hus band, but she was the matchless beauty still. Sim called to sc.; the ? di tor. Atlanta editors nowadays, what with their Flanagans, their tumble down depots, their water doard and health board excitements and the Georgia Legislature, do not have experiences like that. Outside The Intelligence! otlice that day it was a sad enough spectacle- a waste of Atlanta. Inside the cditoi, was entertaining one of thc most romantic actors of all the war. Next day ho told about her beauty, her part in tho war, her books, and wc see her no more. Where arc tho books and whore it thc author? Not one of all thc ninety huge volumes which Mr. Thomas T. Townsend made up and sold to Co lumbla College throws a ray of light on Mrs. Dcscaulp after that day when we soo her in thc The Atlanta Intelli gencer office trying to interest Atlanta in her books. I looked through thc ninety volumes for some further trace of her. Not a linc. She passed from the ken of thc editors after that, Who was slioV Whence (ii.i she t come?

Through tho midst of tho brooding silence tho life and motion about you comes to mind - the weariless tides swaying the dulse over thousands of miles of sea-meadows, the swift, foaming rivers, thc marvelous abun dance of fishes, the wild sheep p.nd goats on a thousand grassy ridges above the forests, bears feasting in the berry tangles, the heaver and thc mink and otter far back on many a rushing stream, Indians and adventurers pur-' suing their lonely ways, and the mighty glaciers fashioning the moun tains, extending the domain of the sea, tracing valleys for rivers to flow in, and grinding the rocks to soil for fertile fields for thc use of life to come.
