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

fell npon her shining hair and beantifnl,

"l knew you would come, Rosalie"—
and his face beamed joyfully.
She hesitated; her eyes would not meet
his. and aha did not snaak

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
