But his triumph was only momentary.
Bow OR whence the blow came which struck
him to the earth he never knew, there was

The rest seemed to him like dream. He

and bathing his brow, and then he relapsed
into Inconsistencies only to find himself

when he came to analyse the situation, any
just grounds for such strong antipathy
against the YOU hg man, but he blindly based
his contempt for him on general principles.
Alphonse Lecroix, who was stirring such
torrent of hnimosity in the Captains
heart, was young French Canadian, re-
siding in neighboring village across the
river, possessed Of q small fortune which
he had inherited from a penurious father.
Fortune had been fairly generous to him,
and nature had been more than prodigal in
her fayors. His was the ideal of school

hair; large, lu ninous dark eyes; regular
features; teeth, which a Duchess might have
envied; a soft, musical voice; ten
der, sympathe tic manner with women,
and a 1.-the, active figure, whose
every movement was grace itself.
Then, his doting father had given him q
college education, and, though his accom-

mile wide, two hundred feet deep-a very
epic poem written in water by Natures
own hand.
At a bend in it's course, half way between
The two lakes it connects, stands a substan-
hal farmhouse surrounded by neat outbuild-
ngs and poisoning orchards. It is from
sthe latter feature that it inherits its name
the Orchard House.
And in that pretty dwelling lives family
which has a history.
When you look at the little summer-house
in'the garden, which was evidently once
the pilot-house of a steamer, and see the
tall, tapering mast with the stars and stripes
floating in the breeze, you are prepared to
be told that it is the home of sailor.
A very old, weather-beaten hulk is Daniel
Winthrop now, but in the year when my
story opens, nearly three decades ago, he was
hale, wellpreserved man of sixty, whose
silvery hair was the only external Fremont
ton of advancing age.
When the glad spring sun of 1861 was tint
ing the surface of his beloved river with
svery.hue of the rainbow. who had a greater
right to say: 1.-THE Lord has prospered me
and my cup is full of joy,'' than Daniel Win
throp?
For thirty years he had sailed the lakes as
captain of his own ships. Before ''the pes-'
ky railroads." as he expressed it, had
dropped the bottom out of freights," he
had made money ''hand over fist" and
while yet enjoying the vigor of man.
hood, had settled down to retirement
in a sailors Elysium-a wellstocked farm
house, where he could sit on his own stoop
and watch the vessels glide by and the
ever-changing beauty of the lordly river.
But he had bigger treasures than bank
stocks, broad acres and shares in ships
his wife, Martha, who was the sweetest,
simplest helpmate that ever made sunshine
In a mans home; his daughter, Nell, just
twenty years old, whom he had done his
best to spoil, but whose gentle nature had
been proof against every indulgence; and
bis son, Harry, four years older than his
darling daughter, who had never given
him an hours anxiety, but had been stu
diously inclined, had taken fair degree at
college, and was now occupying well-paid
position as teacher in the public schools of
distant city.
Moreover, during that winter his home
had been frightened by the visit of radi-
ant girl, Kate Frobisham, the daughter
Of 4 distant relative of his wife, who had
married Southern gentleman living in the
shenandoah valley, and the old sailor had
learned to love the beautiful young Virgin
ian maiden, who became especially dear to
him when he learned that she had promised
TO become his sons wife.
But lightning came out of q clear sky and
struck the Winthrop homestead-as it did
the whole fair land, which had for years
been basking in the sunshine of prosperity.
Fort Sumter had surrendered, and the
terrible war of secession was reality.
An American of Americans, coming of an
old Puritan stock of New England, Daniel
Winthrop's heart was aflame with honest
indignation.
Thus, one day in spring, just as the big
ice barriers of winter had been swept away
and the glorious waters Of his loved river,
rejoicing to be free, were once more rolling
