JADE answered with faint smile; his

river, out of range OF the enemy's fire,
and the guns and ammunition trans
ferred to Fort Oswego
Renwick received the warmest praises
for his gallantry. He came out of the
conflict with few scratches and the
loss OF six men. The fire from the fleet
was kept up without intermission, and
as steadily answered by the forts, while
cloud of smoke hung like a pail over
the combatants.

Now, while old Gilbert was absent at
Sunrise plantation, several things had
happened to increase the COlOneIs impa-
thence at Nicholas Contentment in exile.
In the first place, sudden and violent
storm had unroofrd Mrs. Leonard
ThOrnc's house, SO that Miss Flora and
her mamma had been force to take
refuge at Thornr Hill. This was very
pleasing 10 the colonel; for thou. n he did
not like his brothers widow, he was very
fond Of his brothers. young daughter.
Flora Thornc, besides being fair 10 see,
had the serene manners that he admired
She danced with grace, she sang the
simple songs he loved, she WAS very do
mestiC, and not in the least learned"
1t was the strongest desire of his heart
that Nicholas should marry this pretty
cousin, settle on the Frrmdale place, three
miles distant, and fulfill the dignitied des-
tiny Of Il gentleman planter. But since
Miss Flora had taken UP her abode at
ThOrne Hill, the colonel had made Il dis
COvery that caused him much uueasiness.
That 50 pretty and charming girl should
have adUrers WAS i'll the natural order of
things, and the colonel did not object to
the frequent visits of Miss Flora's Id
mirers; but that Miss Flora should favor
any one Of them all more than another
Nicholas being absent-was more than
Nicholas father could endure with euua-
nimity. Mr.. Aleck Gage WAS the one
among Miss FlOra's visitors whose COM
ing veNcd the colonel, and increased his
eagerness for his sons return.
Du, now 10 reCaI MS UanlSned son
without sacrificing his own dignity-a
point upon which he was superlatively
sensitive-was still the problem that en-
gagged the Coloncrs thoughts. He felt
that Nicholas under sentence of Danish
ment ought to plead to return home; he
was sure that Sunrise plantation must
have proved uncomfortable long ago; but
Nicholas vas giving proof of a more OBJ
stinat" endurance than his father had
supposed him capable of. "COnfOund

thorny popinac, where the accustomed
mockin@ bird, rejoicing in the moonlight,
poured its unstinte,l song. In the parlor
Flora was singing To AleCk Gage some
thing about moonlight and mrSic, love
and flowers, and the colonel ragged Ike
