Edgar .Inlian's hurts proved very seri ous. though the physician from the first pronounced them not necessarily danger ous Pi his life He was compelled to lie in a constrained attitude and submit to any amount of poulticing and dosing which was very hard for him to bear Colonel Chenier of his own choice be came Julian's nnrae and companion through bis season of pain. When the young man was well enough to bear con versation they retold together their war reminiscences and adventures, Julian all the time circling around, without ever quite reaching, the one memory which of all others was bittereat to him. Be tried from every direction to pave the way for a fall confeeeion; hut whenever he neared the point Colonel Chenier would frighten him away by some indi cation of resentfnlnesa. Julian's training as a lawyer had taught him the art of appAaching a point by every manner of indirection and cir cumlocutory device. Be tried to edu cate Colonel Chenier by gradual ap proaches. so that finally the strange and ugly trath. when it shonld be disclosed, would not excite any undue passion. He was patient, and he strove to be both wise and cunning. Of coarse Colonel Chenier did not dream of Julian's object Bnt all the same he was quite refractory: be refused to he educated up to Julian's notion of what was pardonable on the score of being military neceseity er the legitimate result of the excitement and prejudice of civil war. He was a south erner of the old school—a believer in the antebellum past, a worshiper of chivalry and the Lost Cause, a good hater of in novation. His pride went on high, old fashioned stilts, from which it would not come down for anything. When at laat Julian did disclose his secret It was with all the heroic swiftness and mercilessuess of a surgical operation. "Colonel Chenier," he said, "I am go ing to he well before long, and then 1 supi>ose 1 shall have to go back to Chi cago I feel that 1 ought to aay to you before I go that I love your daughter Rosalie and desire to marry her." Colonel Chenier looked grave, and did not reply at once. He was not taken by surprise, but the matter was of such vast import that in his judgment it ought to be proceeded with slowly. "Have you Rosalie's consent?" he at last very deliberately inquired. Julian moved painfally upon his bol sters. and thus gained time to consider of his answer; but he could frame no evasive phruee; be simply said: "No. but I hope to get it" Colonel Chenier smiled grimly. "(iirls are very uncertain, sir: very uncertain Perhaps 1 would better re serve consideration of the question until you are sure." "No," responded Julian quickly, "that is just what I do not waut you to do. I am sure, from reasons of my own, that I ought to know, before I speak further to her. bow you would regard my mar riage with your daughter." "1 regard you very highly, air." said Colonel Chenier, "and. so far as 1 am concerned, shonld be proud to call you my son. it is for Rosalie herself to de cide the matter." Julian lay for a few delicious minutes reveling in the exquisite charm of this announcement, forgetful for the time of all that lay between him and his heart's desire. Since his accident he had spent moat of his waking hours, when alone, in thinking of Rosalie and conjuring op a thousand absnrd reasons for her strange aiiuhveneee. Sometimes he caught the sound of her voice coming from other rooms as she went about the house. She sent flowers to him every day. but as yet she had not come to see him. though Adelaide often had “I am glad you are not against me," he presently said; "1 have been dreading yon. terribly dreading you It seemed to me so proliahle that yon would oppose me—so natural that you would not like to have your daughter marry a—a— marry one of Sherman's men.” Colonel Chenier had been looking out of the window which opened near Ju lian's couch, be now turned his eyes upon the yonng man’s face, and in n tone of warm good fellowship said: “1 am a southerner, sir. bnt 1 hope I sun no fanatic Why should I object to you on the ground that you were on the other sidef The war Is over and that is sue is settled forever. A soldier, sir, bhuors thorn who honorable foosrht grudge'?" said Julian, trembling as h* ■poke. "Yes, sir, I should call it unmanly to rake over the emliers of the war now to gratify personal spite. I hoi* 1 am cm a higher plane." said Colonel Chenier. “Then yon can forgive the man who burned your honse and bayoneted your daughter?" cried Julian excitedly. Colonel Chenier's face darkened He moved nueasily in his chair "Ah, 1 see. added Julian bitterly, yon wouldn't care to shake hands with that [larticuiar soldier!" “It was a dastardly, cowardly, dishon- j arable deed!" replied Colonel Chenier, "and uot within the rules of civilised warfare." Julian, after a moment, continued; "I knew yon couldn't keep up to your high staudard. and make good your , pretty theory of letting the dead past i bury its dead, and all that. It’s all very j well till it comes home, ami then" "No. sir," Colonel Chenier interrupted, I 'yon are wrung 1 admit yon touched me at a tender point when you men tioned the burning of my bouse and the stabbing of my daughter: hut I say to yon now that I can and do forgive even thoee outrages—that is. I do not hold them a charge against the individual who committed them in the name of war and liberty and national glory. A soldier is a mere machine." "Yon hail better lie careful what you are saying," exclaimed Juliau, his eyes gleaming strangely: "I shall hold you fast on every word. Do I understand yon to say that you are nobly generous enough to freely forgive the man. if yon cenld find him. who with his own hand applied the torch to the Chenier home stead ami thrust your daughter throngh the ann with a bayonet—is that what yon mean?" “Yes, sir,’ wss the prompt reply; •yes. sir. that is what I mean. A battle was being fought all around my boose, and my daughter, in the supreme mo ment of excitement, fired upon the de tachment that stormed the place. Of course she took the chances of war." Colonel Chenier held his head high as he spoke, with the air of one who feels the grandeur of his sentimenta. Julian smiled increduoualy, and lay for a moment eying the dark faced, soldierly man as if contemplating a spring upon him. then he said: "Yen'll take every word of that back in less than five minutes. Colonel Chenier." The colonel smiled and shook his head, saying: "No. you do not know me yet: you do not know the southern people yet. We are much better than your newspapers represent." “Well, permit me to introduce to you ‘.n person the incendiary who burned yonr mansion and the ruffian who ■tabbed yonr daughter." "Certainly, sir. whenever you can." "1 am the man." Colonel Chenier langhed. “Yon need not try to make a joke of It." cried Julian: "1 swear to you upon the honor ef a man and a friend that 1 am the very man." "You! pshaw, sir. the idea is prepos- terons!" Colonel Chenier saiil this with a great effort to be light: hat he had canght something from J nlian's voice that chilled him. "Co ask Miss Adelaide—she recognised me: shell tell you who 1 am,” the young man cried, impetuously gesticulating with the index finger of his right hand. “Are you serious? Are you sincere? Do you mean" “1 am serious—1 am sincere—I mean every word 1 say." Julian said with em phasis: "and 1 am anxious to know where yonr theory is now! Do you still think you can control yonr prejudice?" Colonel Cheuier looked at Julian for a moment in silent inquiry; then his dark face grew darker, and hia eyes took on a strange gloominess. Adelaide came in with a tray of cut flowers, jasmines, roses, violets and gera niums “How are you feeling this morning, Mr. Julian?" she inquired, as she put her brilliant and fragrant load on the table near his window. "Oh. thank yon, 1 am ever so mnch bettei —I am enormously relieved,” he exclaimed; “1 have just unburdened myself to yonr father—told him who 1 am and what I did." She glanced hastily from the yonng man's face to her father’s, and a look of trouble leaped into her eyes. "He does not think it possible that 1 am the incendiary and assassin both in one. He does not like to believe"—- "1 think you are exciting yourself too much, Mr. Julian," she said; "you know wha'. the doctor ordered." She gave him i warning -look, and then turned to her father. "I have forgiven him. papa, and of course you will too.” she gently said slipping an arm abont the colonel's neck. “Oh, he promised me that before 1 told him," said Jnlian. Colonel Chenier put aside his daugh ter, and. taking his crutch, left the room without another word. Adelaide stood looking after him till be (Hissed out of sight; then she turned to Jnlian and said: “It will be all right: I am glad you have told him. ’ "And Rosalie?" he exclaimed. Adelaide involuntarily put her hand to her breast and in a faltering voice re plied “1—I don’t know—I am not sure. We need not tell her, need we?' Her voice had some subtle sweetness in it that touched J ulian strangely. "Yes. 1 shall tell her as soon as 1 can see her. W on't yon get her to come in Sere? 1 so much want to see her. Tell her it would help me; make me well.” The dark, comely woman stood before him a moment, her lips slightly a]>art, her dnsky eyes fixed upon his face, her bosom swelling strangely. Jnlian had never before noted how beantifnl she was It w:is the dark, splendid beauty of the old south, a beauty that suggested passion as fervid as the sun. "Yes. I will tell her," she said at last, turning away, "but if I were yon I would not divulge our secret to her. tt could do no good." When she had gone out Julian sank back among his pillows and ferand him self weak and faint. He had overtaxed his strength. The fever lurking in his blood from the irritation of his injuries had rendered him excitable Then, too, lie had brooded over his strange predica ment to an extent that had tonched him with recklessnese It was well for him that he oould fall asleep He awoke feel ing greatly refreshed jnst as Rosalie same into the doorway. When his eyes fell npon her shining hair and beantifnl, beloved face be felt bis heart leap might ily. Be pot forth his hand and said: "l knew you would come, Rosalie"— and his face beamed joyfully. She hesitated; her eyes would not meet his. and aha did not snaak < vm uuu v anuw now i nave ion geo to | see you. to hear you talk, to have you near me." he went on. still holding oat his hand. She came into the room sod went to the table, where she stood for a time making some pretense of rearranging the flowers Adelaide had put there. "Oh. Rosalie, Rosalie, how could yoa stay away so long?' he exclaimed, his voice husky and low. She gave him a quick, half frightened look, and the rosy bloom vanished from her cheeks, leaving them for a moment pale ae marble. “Are yon getting well?" she asked In a tone indicative of great restraint, as a every expedient for appaaring at ease had slipped beyond her reach. As if at the sound of her own voice, the blood flowed back into her face, lighting it with a deli cate freshness, and her sweet troubled eyes burned with a sodden nnderglow. Jnlian saw the cross on her breast rise and fall with the wavee of her emotion. He reached his hand farther with aa ap pealing gesture. "Won't yon shake hands with me after onr long separation?' he said: and then, as she seemed to waver and hesitate be fore him, he fervently innrmnred. "Oh, Rosalie, my own. iny flower of all the sonth, come, you have elnded me long enough"—cornu!" His voice, so low and pe&sienate and masterful, seemed to thrill her as the wind thrills the flowers and graeses. W as she about to place her hand in his? Was she about to swiftly stoop and kiss his forehead? He felt the wave of a pent happiness flow over him as a little breeze sprang in throngh the window and tossed Rosalie’s shining hair abont her forehead. The footfall of the physician coming to make his cal) was n most unwelcome and inopportune sound. Rosalie started like a frightened bird, and with one quick, never to be forgotten look into Jnliau's eyes, turned and glided lightly from the room. CHAPTER XXVH. THE GOLD MINE. “Oh, Roselle, f/tm ere mine forerer." Julian got well very soon. His con valescence was so rapid that withia three days from the date of our last chapter he was able to sit on the veranda and watch the mocking birds flit to and fro among the tress that shaded the street. Somehow he had drawn infinite happiness from theexpression of Rosalie’s face, or from some indescribable intona tion Jn her voice, or from the atmoe- phere that she had seemed to bring with her on the occasion of her only visit to his sick room. Colonel Chenier was much the same os formerly—polite, entertaining, talk ative—but he never approached the sub ject of his last conversation with Jnlian. Adelaide seemed thy and quiet, but Julian could not help seeing how her so journ in Savannah was adding to her personal charms. She looked ten yean younger than when he first saw her— more cheerful, elastic alert—and her voice had lost a certain qnenilonaneas which tfad characterized it That her heart hud thrown off ita harden of dis content was apparent. Julian tried to obtain little interviews with Rosalie, but she seemed not to nn derstand his intent, and so allowed this or that trivial circninstance to thwart his plana. Instead of vexing him this amnsed him. and he allowed the days to go by without any effort on his part to break the dreamy monotony of things until he was able to walk witbont any artificial aid. About this time Colonel Chenier came to him with a letter that he had received announcing the discovery of gold in the spring hollow above the old mill. Along with this letter, or at least on the same day. bad come a package of gold of abont two hundred dollars in value. Colonel Chenier was excited. Telegraphic specials in the daily pa pers giving highly colored accounts of the discovery of new mines in several places added fnel to Colonel Chenier's excitement "1 must go and look afterthis matter," he said to Juliau later in the day. "It may be (loesible that 1 have a fortune np there after all. I should like to have you go with me, if you will.” “It will delight me to be of service to you." Julian replied; and after a good deal of discussion it was resolved that they shonld go at once. When Rosalie fonnd that her father was going hack to the old mill, she be gan to beg him to take her along. He flatly refused, saying that it would be a hurried trip, and that be could not be encumbered with her. Julian, when be was abont ready to ■tart, went looking for Rosalie from room to room, and finally found her behind the curtains of a bay window crying. "1 have come to bid yon farewell," he said; "my time is short; haven't yon something cheering to say to me?' He did not notice her tears. The outer blinds were closed and there was soft twilight behind the curtains "1 shall come back or not, jnst as yon say,” he half whispered. "I love yon too much to stay near yon any longer, un less. unless—if you cannot and will not —if it is unpleasant to yoa for me to be here." She hid her face in her hands a mo ment in her peculiar girlish way, while he stammered and paused in his speech: then she looked up and said in a breath less sort of voice: “Yon must not stay away—you must come back with pa|>a." "May 1 come back for you?' be eagerly asked, leaning toward her, his anas half raised. "Will yon be my wife, Rosalie? How sweet and shy and lissom she looked in that tender light as she trem blingly toyed with the Provence cross, and alternately lifted and let fall her wistful, happy, gray brown eyes! How coaid she speak with her heart throbbing wildly in her throat and her lips tram bllng so! Bnt even this delicious alienee could not satisfy Jnlian. He was too stubborn to reach forth and take her into his arms before she had srprraslj given him the right so to da. “Your father is ready to go and is waiting for me." he said, with some ob scure qnalms of conscience at the thooght of how nearly brutal this stubborn ess was, "and there is hot a moment Wont yon answer me, Rosalie? Must 1 go away without knowing that yoa love me, and without yonr promise to be my own little brown eyed wife?" He etooped toward her and pat his anus out farther. "Come, come!" he whispered, and then ■he yielded Us felt her slip close to him and nestle her bright bead ua hia breast, and as he clesjied her tenderly be ■aid: "After so l»ug—after so many doubts and fean—Oh. Rosalie you are mine forever!" "I have lean yours all the time." she yiunaured With her old naivete present in her voire, "hot—bnt 1 didn’t know it till l—l thought you were going to die." They were standing thns when Ade laide came In to tell Julian that the car riage was waiting to take him to the station, and that h»r father was ready and impatient t» lie off Jnlian released Rosalie and went to meet Adelaide, smiling proudly and joy fully He took her hand and said: "1 am the happiest man in the world? Adelaide looked np Into his beaming face and said nmler h-r breath: "Ton have not told her?' ■Told her what?' he asked, and then he rememtered "No.” he added, “but all the powers of the world cannot sepa rate us now She is mine, and 1 am hers." She did not reply, bnt turned and left the room Jnlian kissed Rosalie again and went away. Colonel Chenier’s gold mine proved to be a enrions failure When the bound ary line of his mill estate c-.ine to be run, it was fonnd that a mere fringe of the rich discovery was his. The deposit was really on land adjoining Colonel Chenier’s, and quite recently purchased by Francis Whitcumbe Ellis. On the way back to Savannah a tnis- connection of trains delayed Julian and Colonel Chenier a day* In Atlanta. Here Julian found himself snddeqjy face to lace with Ellis. Their eyes thrust and parried a moment, and then Julian said: "1 dod't want you to be my enemy; I want to leave the sonth withont a single bitter memory." Ellis now looked straight into Vhe northerner’s eyes Presently he slowly- said: “It is all right, sir. all right. 1 have been the loser all aronnd; but. when a gentleman apologizes, it is an end of things" The rich, deep voice of the southerner thrilled and charmed Julian. There was something evil in it, hut there was an Immense reverse of something pathetic ally noble. They parted, and have never met again CHAPTER XXV7I1. • THE END wnen Edgar Julian, after his return to Roosevelt Place, told Rosalie of the interview between himself and Ellis at Atlanta, she felt a great load lifted from her heart She had made herself wretched during Ins absence. Imagining a meeting ls-tween the enemies in some nountalu hollow, where Julian would oe no match for his unscrupulous an tagonist Julian was in no hurry to tell her the dreaded secret of the war time He ac complished it by gradual approaches, hut after all there was nothing gained Rosalie loved him. and the disclosure did uot cause even a momentary shallow to fall on her snnny face. She only crept cioner to him and shyly kissed him Af terward she Went to Adelaide, and throwing her arms abont her neck, mnr- mnred tremulously: “My dear, noble sister'. He has told me all!" Her warm tears fell npou Ade (aide’s cheek and neck. They made a fine picture as they stood there twined together like dewy vinee and thus it was that love burned away the liarriers of hate between the north and sonth Out of the ashes of the burned np home ami the scar of the bayonet wound grew the sweet flower of recon ciliatiou. The sonthern summer came on apace. Dusky splendors hovered in the groves and avennes by night, and by day the waree of heat shimmered over tlis house tope and along the silver river. The time was nearing when the Cheniers would mu bark for France. J ulian finally pre vailed npon Rosalie to set their marriage 'lay early enough so that he could take ucr to Chicago for a few weeks before their departure for the land of the mistral and Chateau Chenier. "I want to show you to my friends," ne proudly said, "so that they may see how great lias been my second victory over the south." •It is not a victory," she qnickly re joined. "for you are my prisoner for life!" She put her arms around him to illustrate his captivity. ‘Well, then." he said, "I want to show all of Sherman's boys how things have changed, and how delightful it is now to be captured in the south." When Rosalie was once more in the north she found its fascination stronger than ever. The prairies with their seas of corn and vast plains of pastnre. the thrmiged towns and the hum and hurry of ffldustry and enterprise, seemed to clear her mind of the last trace of gloom The whole country was hers! Colonel Chenier and Adelaide are now In Provence. The question of Colonel Chenier's title to the chatean is nnder investigation in the French courts, but Jnlian and Rosalie are drifting about through a honeymoon that baa run for nearly two years. When they first reached Chateau Cheuier they thought they should be coutent to stay there always. They climbed upon the old wall and imagined they fonnd the very ■pot where the Maid of the Mistral need to sit and play her lute while her lover was away in the eastern wars. Julian pointed ont to Rosalie the jiart of the garden where the peasant dug up the, old croes. They drove along the country roads between the fig and the mulberry orchards, where the barefoot peasant women were picturesquely grouped, and where the wild eyed children were work ing bareheaded in the smi. It was Ol sweet fnlflllmentof Rusalie'sdreams; but Julian grew tired of Provence, and they went to Paris, and then to Switzerland dim tied the mountains and breathed the sharp breath of the glaciers. We leave them in Rome. When they come l»ck to America they will proB *bly vibrate lietween Chicago and Savannah Jnlian has not become al together a sonthern man. and Rosalie cannot qnite agree to the northern win ten. which would seem to layabout all that is left to quarrel alxmt between the sections The old twnjo from the "pocket" is Rosalie's constant companion, and the (iresent taste for banjo playing among refined Americans leaves her free to in -iulge in those merry old songs ns often as she may desire withont any danger of shocking society; for wtiat was once the lyre of the Ignorant and enslaved south •rn negro is now the lute affected by the 'uost cultured and aesthetic circles of the great cities both north and south THE KNI) Snow Tobacco Stick.
