A PRACTICAL JOKEl; We were stationed at Fort Man has- ' •et One of our men. Horry Blanton, j was a vain fellow and very credulous. Passing a farmhouse near by. he made 1 eyre to a girl on the veranda, and her ' father, seeing It all. ordered bla daugh- j ter Into the house. Harry came on Into camp aglow with excitement hod was soon telling 1 ns what had happened. He admitted J he had become smitten with the lady's 1 charms and was satisfied she was des- 1 1 perately In love with him. We all deeply sympathized vrith him, ; and one of us suggested to hii9tbat If | ! he wished to write to the girl we would I ' contrive 16 some way to deliver the j 1 | letter and get a reply If .possible. Har- ! 1 ry jumped at this at once, and off be ' went to write the letter, i In a day or two another letter was . written by Harry and soon as possible ' delivered and a reply received. In the course of tea days some four or five ' letters were sent and replied to. In bis last he Insisted on a meeting, If only for a few minutes— begged ber to arrange one Immediately. In ber reply the lady said she was wIHIng— eager. 1 In fact— but ber father and brothers were suspicions and watched her very closely. However, for his sake she would take great risks. At 9 o'clock that night she aald she would try to slip away from the bouse and go to a certs la peach tree that was In the tR-ld back of the house. In the meantime we bad Induced a young soldier who was small, slim and beardless to help us. The country was scoured and a woman's dress and sunbonnet secured and all preparations I made. A short time after dark Blan- j ton was no'leed to slip out of camp 1 and move toward the field. The night , was dark, and be went slowly, but he ; finally reached the designated tree, 1 and. sure enough, after a few minutes' : waiting his beloved came tripping to . the trystlng spoL The conversation was carried on In whispers, and they i were having a sweet time when a gun j was suddenly fired near them from the direction of a house and a man's voice angrily exclaimed: "Oh. you scoundrel! I intend to kill you." The pair were terrified, and the girl i fell to sobbing, telling Harry her faI ther would nearly kill her and It would ] be torment for ber to live at home after that, and. oh. she was so miserable! Blanton. broke out In a cold pyrj splratlon. What wasTo tie done? He • had an Idea! And after whispering a J few words" to the girl clinging^ to him ' the pair turned and sped across the : ! field toward the camp, the brother fol- : i lowing as best he <*buld In the dark I and swearing loudly what he meant to - do when he caught Hietn. Harry and j his girl reached (be fence, -cleared It In a second and harried on to camp. I Just before reaching there they ran . upon several »f us taking a walk. Just ■ J by accident, of course, in that dlrec- ' ; tlon. An explanation followed. Harry | asked us to help him. | After talking It over hurriedly It was decided that the only course left was for Blanton to marry the girl, and at j once, to which the pair agreed. A proper soldier was hunted up to art as the minister, and Blanton and the girl, j who had been carried Into a tent, were now brought out. told to join bauds . j and stand In front of the minister, and ] by the dim light of the enmpflre the marriage ceremony proceeded. It pro- 1 eeeded so far as to secure Harry s afj Urinative response, but >• urther. for ; • rushed 'the brother of the ;Jrl. sliutit- ' lug and swearing, hut it i'm for Harry Blanton. whom he meant to kill The half married couple were hur- ] rled Into a tent by some of the boys, tyhlle the rest of them gathered around the half brother-iu-law. explained mat- | ters to him and tried to pacify him. But nothing would do. He meant to kill Blantou. He consented, however, after much argument with him. to give Blanton a chance by fighting a duel with him then and there. Blanton was not spoiling for affight, but with great reluctance he consented. He was brought out. placed near the camptlre and a pistol put In bis hand. Ills opine nent stood opposite him. The word "Ready!" was «ali.«i then "lire!" There were two ivp. .- . and the half brother-in-law U '! . f, ground, and some one told Rls-i'rq lie was shot through the breast :•••■'. r-s dying. Blanton was horrified. At bis. query of what to 4o h'- '"'d '■ leave for the upper country; o.Ii.-cwIm he would probably be court ■' j and. shot: The heartbroken wife I-

j him a sorrowful good by. abd ha lit out. horribly bewildered. ! Now. bis only and direct way oat was to croia Johnson's bayou at a bridge about fourteen mitre distant At this bridge waa stationed a guard— a fact Blanton waa not aware of— Cor the purpose of detaining deserters, •plea, etc. About daylight the guards discovered a man approaching, whom they promptly arrested. It proved to be Harry Blanton, and a forlorn looking captive they had— tired out wet and half frozen. As the guard knew nothing of the affair and aa Blanton would give no satisfactory answer concerning his appearance, be was at j once sent with a small detail bock to the fort, where he waa takan before the colonel and a report mada. Then he realized that his position was more serious than ever. He had been caught deserting. He waa put in tba guardhouse, and we. bearing of it, knew H was time to. explain the whole affair to the colonel, which we did, and after reprimanding ns for carrying the matter so far he made us tell It all over again, and bow be enjoyed it! He sent for Blanton and discharged him after reading him a lecture for being auch a fool. Poor Blanton as long as the war lasted never beard the end of It So Near and Yet So Far.
