you for it. You must return nowhere ls nc
time to lose; yet I fear for you my deal
child"
"You need not father. My heart feels light
and Captain Clinton is a protection"
II must thank him for you"
The two men stepped forward, clasped hands
and scanned each other as closely as was pos
sible in the darkness.
"From my heart, I thank you, Captain
Clinton and may God reward you for wha
you have done for my family and me-"
"Your gratitude is now my reward; ; I ask
no other"
"When this war is over, hope we may
meet under more agreeable circumstances.
shall be happy to welcome you then as
friend"
"Thank you. Though soldier on the
other side, hope I am not AL enemy now
Miss Elliott, we must not delay"
A clinging embrace, few kisses, and tht
now weeping Grace, was lifted into the saddle
"Where is your horse ?" asked MIR. Elliott
looking all around.
"Here," and Clinton sprang lightly to his
seat behind Grace
I'VE generally ride in the saddle, and put
the lady behind" Mr.. Elliott could not helE
saying with half smile.
."And 0e usually give the lady the seal
of honor" replied Clinton; though to tell the
truth, he had never in his life been on horse
with a lady till that night.
A warm grasp of hands, fervent "God
bless you" from Mr.. Elliott, and Grace ano
Clinton were on their way back.
II don't believe can keep the path. I an
bewildered," said Grace after few minutes
ride.
"Give Lady Belle the bride; she'll carry
US right. Its not strange you miss such 6
path as this. It's wonder how you kept il
going"
"My fathers life was at stake. I kept it by
instinct-and the Lord guided me" said she
adding the last clause as if she felt it wrong tt
claim credit to herself, when all the way hel
soul had cried "Lord, direct me-"
Lady Belle picked her way through the
underbrush and thickets much faster than
she had gone; and when more open part o1
the road was gained, her feet almost flew un
der Clinton's Go my beauty. That's it, my
Lady Belle
At the foot of the avenue she was checked
to walk, and jumping down, Clinton strodf
along beside her.
The courage which had upheld Grace, now
deserted her. A panic seized her, least some
of the soldiers might be stirring and come
out to do her harm. She trembled and coule
hardly keep her seat. Clinton endeavored tt
reassure her. His "Don't be alarmed. car
protect you now; I know every man here
You left all danger behind you when We
turned into the avenue" could scarce sustain
her till she reached the gate, passed the guard
and gained the dimly lighted sittiug-room.
II must put up my horse now. Good
night" and Clinton was about to 60 out as
coolly as if nothing out of the common way
had occurred, when Grace held out her hand
and said, "I will see you in the morning
My mother will thank you more than l."
II would not tell her till after we are all
gone, and you know your father is really in
safety; it would excite her unnecessarily. l
am happy to have been 'of service to you
Your thanks repay me for all l have done u
He took the little hand reverently, and his
| second "Good-night," sounded like blessing.
Placing the pistols and gloves on the table,
and opening the door as silently as possible,
Grace listened while she drew off her shoes,
but all was silent and with thankful heart
she gained her own room, and found the note
still fastened to her apron and the pillow.
II can't sleep alone-I must be in the room
with some one," thought she, as she removed
her damp clothing. So going into the other
room, she slipped into bed with Conway, who
moved, and said sleepily-
"Your feet are like ice. You must have
had them out of bed"
Grace moved them quickly, but said moth
ing.
"Did one of you speak ?" asked Mrs. El-
liott from her room.
"It was Conway, halfasleep," answered
Grace.
"Do you know what time of the night it
isl"
"Not exactly, mother; but I think it is
about three o'clock. Doyou wish anything?'
"No, darling, am very comfortable"
Grace wanted to 60 and hug her mother,
but she restrained herself, and only placed
her hand caressingly on Conway's shoulder.
She could hardly realize what had taken place
in the last two hours, but knew it was a
blessed relief that it was over, and she was safe
at home again.
