Hayne, wijp. had committed one of the
most serious crimes in the rxulitary cata- !
* <?oe- *fcafc of drawing and. raising 3
* ^gaiost an officer who was
fiO? bis duty (Bay ner), bad the
sympa *y of the whole command, and
nobody , would prefer charges against
him. The general decided to have the
report go up to division headquarters,
and thence it went with its varied com
. ments and indorsements to WasMn
and' now- a court of moniry was talked
ot Meantime poor bewildered Button
was let severely alone. What made him
- utterly rruoerable was the fact that in
las own regiment, the ?th, nobody
spolie of it except as something that
everybody knew was sure to happen the
Tjaomenfc he got in command. If it had
n't been that twould have been something
else. The only certainty was that Box
ton would never los? a chanca of making
an ess of himself.
Instead of being furious with him, the
whole regiment?officexs and men?sim
ply ridiculed and laughed at him. He
led talked of preferring charges against
Blake for irrsuborainaticn, and asked the
atj^xtant what be thought of it. It was
?rsi.time be. had spoken to the adju
tant for weeks, and the adjutant rushed
dot of the office to tell the crowd toc?me
in and "bear Burton's latest." It began
t? look as though nothing serious would
i ?ver come of the affair, until Earner re
' appeared and people saw how very ill he
was. Dr. Pease had been consulted;
and it was settled that be as well as his
wife must go away for - several months
end have complete rest and change. It
was decided that they would leave by
the 1st of May. All this Mr. Hayne
heard through his kind friend, Mrs.
Waldron.
One day when he first began to sit up,
and before he had been out at all, she
- came and sat with him in his sunshiny
parlor. There had been a silence for a
moment as she looked around upon the
few pictures and upon that bareness and
ookfnc&? which, do what he will, no man
c^-exadicaid from bis abiding place un
? be calls in thedeft and dainty band of
Vornan.
^l-efc&H be so giad when you have a
wife, Mr. Hayner was her quiet com
ment.
."So shell Mrs. t7aWron,^was the
response.
**And isn't it high time we were begin
ning to hear of a choice? Forgive my
intrusi veness, but that was the very mat
ter of which the major and I were talk
ing as he brought me over.**
* * There is something to be done first,
Mrs. Waldron, " he answered. 4*I cannot
offer any woman a clouded name. It is
act enough that people should begin to
believe that I was innocent and my per
secutors utterly in error, if not perjured.
I must be able to sliow who was the real
culprit', and that is not easy. The doctor
and I thought we saw a way not long
a?o; but it proved delusive.** And he
sighed deeply. **I had expected to see
the major about it the very day he got
back from the court; but we have had no
chance to talk."
**Mr. Hayne,** she said, impulsively,
*fa woman's intuition is not always at
fault. Tell me if you believe that any
one on the post has any inkling of the
-truth. I have a reason for asking."
**I did think it possible, Mrs. Waldron.
I cannot be certain now; and it's too late,
anyway."
"How, too late? What's too late?"
He paused a moment, a deeper shadow
than usual on his face; then he lifted his
head and looked fairly at her.
"I should not have said that, Mrs.
Waldron. It can never be too late. But
what I mean isthat?just now I spoke of
offering no woman a clouded name.
Even if it were unclouded, I could not
offer it where I would."
^Because you have heard of the en
gagement?'' was the quick, eager ques
tion? There was no instant of doubt in
the woman as to where the offering
would be made, if it only could.
**I knew of the engagement on?y a day
ago," he answered, with stern effort at
self control. "Blake was speaking of
her. and it came out all of a sudden."
He turned his head away again. It
was more than Mrs. Waldron could
stand. She leaned impetuously towards
him, and* put her hand on his:
**Mr. Hayne, that is no engagement
Of heart to hearth fS^r ^tirt?i#a thing

She is poor?dependent?and has
simply sold into bondage."

; reached the war department,
iyner called at the colonel's office and
"ssked that he "might-: be permitted to
start with'his wife and sister. His.sec
, ond J?eutefant would move in an^ oc
;cx^^m^^uarfers and' take car? ?-all
'-h^^?jB?nal-.j?ffects chiring their ab
sence; and iieut. Hayne was a most
? thorough * officer, and: h?., f?lt that in
^turning over his company to him he
left it in excellent hands. The colonel
saw the misery in the captain's -face,
and he wastouched by both, looks and
wor?si
r-^ouinnst.not take this last affair too
mncb to heart, Capt Sayncr. -We in
the?th have known CaptT Buxton so
-many years that with us there is no*
question as to where all the blame lies.
It seems, too, t? be clearly understood by
.Mr, Hayne, As for your previous ideas
of that officer, I consider it too delicate
a matter /t&speak of. You must see,
-howeveri how entirely beyond reproach
ms general character appears to have
been. But here's another inatter: Qan
key*B discharge has arrived. Does the old
^fellow know you had requested it?**
"No, sir,** answered Rayner, with hesi
tation and embarrassment. "We wanted
to keep him straight, ?s I told you we
would, and he would probably get on a
bfg tear if he knew his service days were
numbered. I didn't look for its being
granted for forty-eight hours yet.**
"Well, he wiH know it before night;
and no doubt he will be badly cut up.
Clancy was a fine soldier before he mar
rie*, that harridan of a woman."
"She has made him a good wife since
they came into the Rifiers, colonel, and
has taken mighty good care of the old
fellow."
"It is more than she did in the ?th,
jsir. She was a handsome, showy wom
an when I first saw her?before my pro
motion to the regiment?and Clancy
was one of the finest soldiers in the bri
gade th? last year of tb^ war. She ran
through all his money though, and in
"the ?th we looked upon her as the real
cause of his break down, especially after
her affair with that sergeant who de
serted. You've heard of him probably.
He disappeared after the Battle Butte
-campaign, and we hoped he'd run off
with Mrs. Giancy; but Jbe hadn't. She
was there when we got back, big as ever
and growing ugly."
"Do you mean that Mrs. Clancy had a
lover when she was in the ?th?"
"Certainly, Capt. Rayner. We sup
posed it was commonly known. He
was a -fine looking, black eyed, dark
haired, dashing fellow, of good educa
ti. 3, a great swell among the men the
short time he was with us, and Mrs.
Clstncy made a dead set ai him from the
start. He never seemed to care for her
very much."
iiThis is something I never heard of,"
said Rayner, with grave face, "and it
will be a good deal of a shock to my
wife, for she had arranged to take her
east with Clancy and Kate, and they
were to invest their money in some little
business at their old home."
"Yes; it was mainly on the woman's
account we wouldn't re-enlist C3ancy in
the ?th. We could stand h ira, but she
was too much for us?and for the other
sergeant, too. He avoided her before we
started on the campaign, I fancy. Odd!
I cant think of his name?Billings, what
was the name of that howling swell of a
sergeant who was in Hull's troop at
Battle Butte?time Hull was killed? I
mean the man that Mrs. Clancy was said
to have eloped with."
"Sergfc. Gower, sir," said the adjutant,
without looking up from nis work. He
did look up^however, when a moment
afbgr the captain hurriedly left the office,
and he saw that Eayner's face was death
ly white; it was ghastly.
"What took Rayner off so suddenly?**
said the colonel, wheeling around in his
chair.
"I dont know, dr, unless there was
something to startlo him in the name,"
"Why should there be?"
"There are those who think that Gower
got away with more than his horse and
arms, colonel; he was not at Battle Butte,
though, and that is what made it a mvs
tery."
"Where was he, then?"
"Back with the wagon train, sir, and
he never got in s%ht of the Buttes or
Rayner's battalion. You know Rayner
had four companies there,"
"I dont see how Gower could have
taken the money, if that's what you
mean, if be never came up to the Buttes;
Rayner swore lt. was there in Hull's
original package. Then, too, bow could
Gower'e name affect him if he had never
seen him?"
"Possibly be has heard something.
Clancy has been talking."
"I have looked into that," said the
colonel. '"Clancy denies knowing any
thing-^says he was drunk and didn't
know what lie was talking about.*'
AU the same it was queer, thought the
adjutant, and be greatly wanted to see
the doctor and talk with him; but by the
time his office worlf was done the doctor
had gone to town, and when he came
back he was sent for to the laundress'
quarters, where Mrs. Clancy was in hys
terics and Michael had again been verv
bad.
Soon after the captain's return to his
quarters, it seems, a messenger w;is sent
from Mrs. Rayner requesting Mrs. Clancy
to come and see her at once. She was
ushered up stairs to madame's own
apartment, much to Miss Travers' sur
prise, and tliat young lady was further
astonished, when Mrs. Clancy reap
peared, nearly an hour later, to see that
she had been weeping violently. The
house was in some disorder, most of the
trunks being packed and iu readiness for
the start, and Miss Travers was enter
taining two or three young officers and
waiting for her sister to come down to
luncheon.
"The boys** were lachrymose over her
prospective departure?at least they af
fected to be?and were variously
sprawled about the parlor when Mrs.
Clancy descended, and the infle med con
dition of her eyes and nose became ap
parent to alL There was much chaff and
fun, therefore, when Mrs. Rayner finally
appeared, over the supposed aiilictiori of
the big Irish woman at the prospect of
parting with her patroness. Miss Trav
ers saw with singular sensations that
both the captain and her usually seif re
liant sister were annoyed and embar
rassed by the topic and strove to change
it; but Foster's propensity for mimicry
and his ability to imitate Mrs. Clancy's
combineel brogue and snif?le proved ?'x)
much for their efforts. Kate was in a
royally bad temper by the time the
youngsters left the house, and when
Nellie would have made some laughing
allusion to the fun the young fellows had
been having over her morning caller, she
w?s suddenly and tartly checked with:
"We've had too much of that already.
Just understand now that you. have no
time to waste, if your packing is unfin
ished We start to-morrow afternoon.*1
'Why, Kate! I had no idea we were
go for two days yet: Ofct?firse I can
ready; but whv.dicLjgofi not tell me
ore?"
Qjt g vv .. jHl. JL I
J^I'did not know it1?at least itwg^^ -

captain, came baekfroi
is nothing toji^^.?'
^^^^^^^^r?V.Eate; for Mr.
^jLUs^^xbl'd me .yesEerday morning, and
^OEyo%, that the* colonel had said you
could start afc once, and you. replied that
the captain cojpidhot be ready for sev
eral days?threefet least."
i'WelL now he" is; and that ends it.
Never mind-what changed his mind."
It was^unsafe.^to trifle with Nellie
Travers, as 3?rs. Rayner might have
known. She "saw that something had 00-.
curred io make the captain eager to. start
? at once; and then- there was .that imme
diate sending for Mrs. Clancy, the long,
secret talk up in Kate's room, the evi
dent menjtal disturbance , of both fem
inines.cn their respective reappearances
and the sudden announcement to her.
While there could be no time to make
formal parting calls, there were still
some twe or three ladies in the garrison
wrhora she- longed to seo before saying
adieu; and then there vras Mr. Hayne,
whom she had wronged quite as bitterly
as any one else had wronged him. He
was out that day for the first time, and
she longed to see him and longed to ful
fill the neglected promise.- That she
must do at the very least. If she rcouid
not see Mm she must write, that he
might have fee note before they went'
away. All these thoughts were rushing
through her brain as she busied herself
about her little room, stowing away
dresses and dropping everything from
time to time to dart into her sister's
room in answer to some querulous calL
Yet never did she leave without a quick
glance from her window up and down
the row. For whom was she looking?
It was just'aboufc dusk when she heard
crying downstairs?? child?and appa
rently in the kitchen. Mrs. Rayner was
with the baby, and Miss Travers started
for the stairs, calling that she would go
and see what it meant. She waa down
fin the hall before Mrs. Eayner's impera
tive and repeated calls brought her to a
full stop.
"What is it?" she inquired.
"You come back here and hold baby.
I know perfectly what it is. It is Kate
Clancy, and she wants me. You can do
nothing."
Too late, madame! The intervening
doors were opened, and in marched cook,
leading the poor little Irish girl, who was
sobbing piteously. Mrs. Hayner came
down the stairs with all speed, bringing
her burly son and heir in her arms. She
would have ordered Nell aloft, but what
excuse could she give? And Miss Trav
ers was already bending over the child
and striving to still her heartbieaking
cries.
"What is it? Where's your father?"
demanded Mrs. Rayner.
"Oh, ma'am, I don't know! I came
here to tell the captain. Shure he's dis
charged, ma'am, an* his heart's broke
entirely, an' mother says we're all to go
with the .captain to-morrow, and he
swears he'll kill himself before he'll go,
an' I can't find him, ma'am. It's almost
dark now."
"Go back and tell your mother I want
her instantly. We'll find your father.
Go!" she repeated, as the child shrank
and hesitated. "Here?the front way!"
And little Elate sped away into the shad
ows across the dim level of th* parade.
Then the sisters faced each other.
There was a fire in the younger's eye
that Mrs. Rayner would have escaped if
she could.
"Kate, it is to get Clancy away from
the possibility of revealing what he
knows that you have planned this sud
den move, and I know it," said Miss
Travers. "You need not answer."
She seized a wrap from the hat rack
and stepped to the doorway. Mrs. Ray
ner threw herself after her.
"Nellie, where are you going? What
will you do?"
"To Mrs. Waldron's,Kate; if need be,
to Mr. Hayne's."
* . ? # * * *
A bright fire was burning in Maj. Wal
dron's cozy parlor, where he and his
good wife were seated in earnest talk.
It was just after sunset when Mr. Hayne
dropped in to pay his first visit after the
few days in which he had been confined
to his quarters. He was looking thin,
paler than usual, and far more restless
and eager in manner than of old. The
Waldrons welcomed him with more than
usual warmth, and the major speedily
led the conversation up to the topic which
was so near to his heart.
"You and I must see the d-^ctor and
have a triangular council over this thing,
Hayne Three heads are better than
none; and if, as he suspects, old Clancy
really knows any tiling when he's drank
that he cannot tell when he's sober, I
shall depart from Mrs. Waldron's prin
ciples and join the doctor in his pet
scheme of getting him drunk again. vIn
vino veritas,' you know. And we ought
to be about it, too, for it wou't be long
before his discharge comes, and ohce
away we should be in the lurch."
"There seems so little lx>pe there, ma
jor. Even the colonel has called him
up and questioned him."
"Ay, very true, but always when the
old sergeant was sober. It is when
drunk that Clancy's conscience pricks
him to tell what he either knows or sus
pects."
A light, quick footstep was heard on
the piazza, the hall door opened, and
without knock or ring, bursting impetu
ously in upon them, there suddenly ap
peared Miss Travers, her eyes dilated
with excitement. At sight of the group
she stopped short, and colored to the
very roots of her shining hair.
"How glad I am to see you, Nellie!"
exclaimed Mrs. Waldron, as ail rose to
greet her. An embarrassed, half dis
traught reply was her only answer. She
had extended both hands to the elder
lady; but now, startled, almost stunned,
at finding herself in the presence of the
very man she most wanted to see, she
stood with downcast eyes, irresolute.
Lie, too, had not stopped forward?had
not offered his hand. She raised her
blue eyes for one quick glance, and saw
his pale, pain thinned face, read anew
the story of his patience, his suffering,
his heroism, and realized how she too
had wronged him and that her very
awkwardness and silence might tell him
that shameful fact. It was more than
she could stand.
"I came?purposely. I had hoped to
find you. Mr. nayne. You?you re
member that I had something to tell you.
It was about Clancy. You ought to see !
him. I'm sure you ought, for he must
know?lie or Mrs; Clancy?something
about your?your trouble; and I've just
this minute heard that they?that he's
going away to-mcrrow, and you must
find him to-night, Mr. Ilaync; indeed
you must."
Who can paint her as sho stood there,
blushing, pleading, eager, frightened,
yet determined? Who can picture the
wild emotion in his heart, reflected in his
face? He stepped quickly to her side
with the light leaping to his eyes, his
hands extended as though to grasp hers;
but-it wasWaldron that spoke first:
"Where is he going? rjow?"
"Oh, with us. major. We. go to-mor
row, and they ko with us. My sister has
some reason?I cannot fathom it. She
wants them away from here, and
Clancy's discharge came today. He
must see him first," she said, indicating
Mr. Hayne by a nod of her pretty heard.
"They say Clancy has run off and got
away from his wife. He doesn't want
tcH)?'discharged. They cannot lind him
EOC^bjik. "S*s?hj2p3 Mr. Havne cau. Mr.
dl?y%c, try to. "You?y?u inust."
"Indeed we. must, H?yne, and quick
about it,'' said the major. "Now is our
chance, I verily believe. Let us get the
doctor first; then little Kate will best
know where to look for Clancy. Come,
man, get your ov?rcoat." And he hast
ened to the hall.
Hayne followed as though in a dream,
reached, the threshold, turned, locked
back,: made one quick step toward Miss
Travers with outstretched hand, then
checked himself assuddenly. -Hisyearn
ing eyes seemed fastened on,-her burning
face, his lips quivered with the intensity
of his emotion. She raised her eyes and
gave him one quick look, half entreaty,
half, command; he seemed ineffectually
struggling to speak?to thank her. One
moment of irresolution, then, without a
word of any kind, he sprang to the door.
She carried his parting glance in her
heart of hearts all nightlong. There
was no mistaking what it told.

A CARD.
SINCE WITHDRAWING FROM THE
firm of A. P. Levy & Co., and at the
solicitation of numerous friends I have de*
cided to open a ?rst-class saloon on Liberty
Street opposite J. Ryttenberg & Sons'
grocery, and 1 can hereafter be found there at
all hours, having just opened up as fine a
stock of Liquors and Segars as has ever been
brought to Sumter. I extend a cordial invi
tation to all of ray friends and patrons to
call. Respectfully,
Jan. 22. A. P. LEVY.
