The careless fellow left Lilian's photograph on the table in his chamber a few days after, and his mother wanted to know whose it was; and the whole story came out, and Tom was laughed at, and Jenny made fun of him, and Captain Barney told him he was a match for the finest girl in the country.

The lieutenant blushed like a boy, but rather enjoyed the whole thing.
A sad day came at last, and Tom went back to the army.

He went full of hope, and the blessing of the loved ones went with him.

He was received with enthusiasm by his old companions in arms, and Hapgood--then a sergeant--still declared that he would be a brigadier in due time,--or, if he was not, he ought to be.

His subsequent career, if not always as fortunate as that portion which we have recorded, was unstained by cowardice or vice.
FINIS.
