Margaret had had a foolish quarâ€" rel, acrd Tt was then that Chad took his little fling at his little world â€"a flinz that~ was foolish, but hazmful; chiefly in that it took his time. in his mind and his energy from . hic work.. He not only neglected his stuâ€" dies , but _ he fell in with the wild young bucks of the town, learncd to play cards, took more wine than was good: for him sometimes, was on the verge of several duels, and night alâ€" ter night<raced homeâ€"in his bugey against â€" the coming â€"dawn. . Though Miss Lucy looked â€"worried, the indulâ€" gent old â€"Major made no protest. iInâ€" deed he was rather pleased. Th d was sowing his wild oatsâ€"it was in the blood, and the mood would pass. It did pass, naturally enough, n the very day that the breach between him and Margaret was partly healed; and the heart of ~Caleb Hazel, whom Ch .i for months, had not dared to face, was made glad when the boy . cau;s back to . him remorseful and repentâ€" antâ€"the old Chad once more. They were late in getting (to the dance, Every window in the old Hunt home was brilliant with light. Chiâ€" nese lanterns swung in the big yard. The scent of eatly spring flowets smote the fresh night â€" air. _ Music and the murmur of nimble feet and happy laughter swept out the wideâ€" open doors past which white figures fitted ~swiltly. Scarcely anybody knew Chad in his regimentals, _ and the Major, with the delight of a boy, led him awound, gravely â€" presenting him as General Buford here and there. Indeed, the lad maue a noble â€" figure *’wma his superb height and buri:;. and: he wore sword and spurs as though botn to them.

Uhiad tuined quiokly away again That happy dawnâ€"going home! The Major drowsed and fell asicep. _ The first coming light, the first cool breath that was stealing (over â€" the aWaken‘ng felds, the first . spring leaves with their weight of dow, wore hot more fresh and pure that the love that: was in the boy‘s heart..

And at that very hour ol dawn, ladies, slippered, â€" bare of head, and in eVeningâ€" gowns, were (iuttering like:â€"white moths along the streets of old Chgrieston, and down to the Battery, where. Fort Sumter lay, gray and quiet in the â€" morning mist â€" to await with jest and laughâ€" ter the hissing shriek of one â€" shell that lightcd the fires of a foutr years‘ hell in a happy land of Godâ€"fearing peate and GoU@â€"given plenty, and the hissing shrick of another that Anderâ€" son, Kentuckian, Burled ‘back, in herâ€" pic defense of the fag struck for the first time by other than an ali¢n hand. Itâ€"Was well that ncithor, at that hour, could see beyond the cim ol his Im the far North, as in the las South, men , had to drift with the tide. Affiong the Kentuckians, _ the torces that moulded her sonsâ€" Davis and Lincolnâ€"were at war in the State as they were at war in the nation. By ties of blood, sympathies, instituâ€" tigns, »Kentucky was bound fast _ to the South. Yet, ten years . before, Kentuckians Had demanded the gradâ€" ual eman.cipation of "the slave, :A hat {ar back, they had carved: a pledge on & block of Kentucky marble, which should be placed in the â€" Washington monument, that Kentucky would : be the last to give up the Union. â€" For ten years ‘they had felt the shadow of the war creeping toward . them. in the dark bours of that â€" ~dismal year, before the dawn ol final decision «he men, women and children of Ken: tucky talked of little else than war, and the skeleton ‘of war took its place in the closet of every home from th Ohio to the crest of the Cumberland ‘when the dawn of that decision came, Kenttcky spread before the world a tecord. of independentâ€"mindcdness, patâ€" tiotism, as each side saw the ~word, und sacrifice that bas no parallel in tistory.~ She sent the flower of â€" her youthâ€"forty thousand strong â€".ihto the Conftderacy; she lifted thelid o! her treasury to Lincoln, ang in anâ€" swer to his every call, sent him a soldier, practically without a bounty and without a draft. And when the rtain fell on the last act of the gréat tragedy, halfâ€"of her manhood "was behind itâ€"helpless from:disease, . wounded ‘or dead on the battleâ€"field. So, onla gentle April day, nm‘ the great news came, it came like a sword that, with one stroke, slathed the State in twain, shearing through. the strongest bonds that link : one man to &another, whether . of blood, business, politics or â€" religion, _ as though they woere no _more : than. threads of wool. â€" Nowhere in the Union .was the National drams . so played to the bitter end in the conâ€" fimes ol a single State. As the naâ€" tion was rent apart, so was . the comfionwealthb; as the State, so wa$s thopoutq;ummmtry. the neighborhood; â€" as neighborhood, the family; and as the {amily, %o brother and brother, father and son. In the mation the kinship was racial ‘only. Brother knew not the face of brother. There was distance between thn.nhmdm.mjwoo,nml- dering dislike easily fanned to flamâ€" ing hatred. In Kentucky the brothers had been born in the same bed, slept hmumadlo.tl;ydunlc same roof, sat â€"side side â€" in same schoolroom, and stood now the threshold of manhood arm in arm, with mutual interests, â€" mutual love, mutual pride in family that clan féeling peculiatrly intense. For antiâ€"#lavery fanaticism, or: bonâ€" est unions one needed not to go to the far North; as, for imperious, Hotâ€"headed, nonâ€"interference : of . Pur® State Soversignty, one needed not go to the fat South. They were all there in the State, the county, the mmmthmrod-.nfi the border alone did feeling uniformityâ€"â€"the border of Kentucky hills. There unionism was free from prejudice as nowh»re else on the conâ€" tinent save elsowhere throughout the Southern mountains. Those Southetn Yankees knew â€" noth‘ng â€" about â€"the valley aristocrat, nothing '”2.» slaves, and cared as little fot a8 for the other. Since ‘76 mLm known but one flag, and to that fiag mumlu.man the State should be swept from borâ€" der to ‘border with horror, there was division even hete; for, im . the Kentucky mountains, there was, bere and there, a patriarch like .
