The words wcre scarcs out whom there
scunded . crackling and snapping Of twigs
ahead. and two figures came rushing towards
us--a man and . woman. The man carried
an infant In his arms, and though called on
them 10 stop, the pair ran BY ~ with no moro
notice than II We had bean stoues Only the
woman cried, "Dear Lord, save usr and
wrune her hands a. she passed out Of sight
"This h strange conduct thought l; but,
peeriug down, saw that Dslias face was
white and motionlcsA She had swooned, In
deed, from wearincss and hunger. 80 took
her in my arms and stumbled forward, hop
ing TO Gnd the end Of the wood soon. For
now the rattle OF ARTILLERY came louder and
incessant through the trees, and, mingling
with Il, multitude Of dull shouts and OUT
erica A. nrst l was minded to run after the
man and woman, but, on second thought, ~
solved 10 eco the danger before hiding from Il
The trees In . short while grew sparssr,
and between the stems I marked ruddy
light glowing, and then came out on an
open space upon the hillside, with . dip OF
earth In front, and beyond long ridge Of
pines standing up black, because Of rcd
glare behind them, and saw that this came
not from any setting sun, but was the light
Of cpnnagration.
Tho glare danced and quivered In the sky
% crossed the hollow. Il made even Deliab
white check seem rosy. Up amid the plnes I
clambercd, and along the ridge 70 whore IL
broke on In . steep dsclivity. And, loi In .
minute looked down, a. twere, into the In
fernal pit
There was q whole town burning below.
and In the streets men were fighting, - could
be told by their shouts aud the rattle and
blaze Of musketry, for . garment Of smoke
lay over all and hid them. Only tho turmoil
beat up a. from . furnace, and the flames Of
burning thatches and quick Jets Of firearms
like lightning In q thunder cloud. Great
sparks hoated past US and over the trees at
our back. A hot blast brcathed ON our
cheeks Now and then you might hear hu-
man shrek distinct amid the din, and this
spoke terribly to the heart
Now the town was Marlborough, and the
attacking force body Of royal troope sent
from Oxford to oust the garrison of the par
lament. which they did this samo night, with
great slaughter, driving the rebels out Of the
place and back on tho road to Bristol Had
we guessed this, much III luck had been
spared us; but We knew naught Of IL. nor
whether friends or foes were getting the bet
ter. So Della being by this time recovered
little) we determined to pass the night In
the woods and ON the morrow to give tho
place wide berth.
Retreating, then, to tho hollow chat lay on
tho lee side Of the ridge, away from the north
wind), gathered pile OF great stones and
