It was plainto me that there was a mystery of some kind connected with him, but, although I might have had a pardonable curiosity to know vhat it was, I never permitted myself to trespass on his too up rent desire to have it remain a mystery. he young officer al- ways had plenty of money, which was by‘ no means a usual thing with us soldiers in' those days. He was free with his purse. He never drank nor relieved the monotony of 0am on the pockets of himself or comrades b" at been to mankind, a game of draw. ffe smoked, and his collection of meers- chaums was a vision. Young Lieut. O‘Kane, reserved, melancholy, and exclusive as he was, was beloved in the regiment from the Colonel down to the last private in the'rear “ I was a Lieutenant in the Fourteenth United States Regular Infantry during the late War. As you may know, a great many dashing and ambit one young soldiers from the Papal army in Rome came over early in the War, and through the influence of Arch- bishop Hughes obtained commissions in the Union army. One of these soldiers, by the way, is now the eon-in~law of James G. Blaine. With these. and still not of them, was -. young Irishman, whom I will call Lar- ry (J'Kane. That was not his right name, and it was years before I learned what his name really was. I do not give it now,‘ for reasons that will presently be obvious tel you. My regiment was stationed in the vicinity of Ham de Grace when this young Irishman was assigned to a Lieutenancy in it. I ranked him by one file. There was something about the boyâ€"tor he wasn’t more than 20â€"that attached me to him at once. He was handsome, manly, and every inch a soldier. There was a peculiar reserve about him, and a melancholy that added to the interephis coming awoke in me. I was getting 11 lma at the time, and I asked the youn _ hmanto mess 'Vfl‘th me,, and “ I don't believe in ghosts, spirits, or supernatural visitations of any kind,” said on old and well-known army oflicer who has been spending a few days in this city ; "but that under certain conditions there are mys- terious, mesmeric, psychological, or occult influences with the most extraordinary, start. ling, and inexplicable results no man living has better reason to know than myself. 1 have never attempted to make the slightest endeavor to solve or understand these mys- teries.
