With'catlile, noiseless tread my com-
panion led the way out through the
same door by which he had entered
the existence of which, he informed
me, he had learned from the conversa-
ton he had overheard between the
man of the house and his hostler
This door gave us entrance to room
in which there was bed, the outer
door of which was open. / could not
help noticing, as Ipassed this last door,
the stout iron bolts which were fixed
upon its outside.
My guide placed his finger upon his
lips for an instant and then he shaded
the lamp with his hand and hurried
down the stairs which led directly to
the shed. The outer door was easily
unfastened and breathed more freely
The storm had passed over and the
stars were sailing away to the south
ward. The lamp did not go out, and we
gained the stable in safety.
"Out with your horse! Quick!" ut
tered my companion, as he set the
lamp down in a corner, where its rays
could not find their way into the yard.
But you-what will you do?"
II have horse, too. Quick! Make

THE c. N. c.

Who Is the Brigadier2-Difering Opinions-What the Governor Says What General Graham, General Watson and General Embler Say. Connecticut's military circles are pug zled over the question who is brigadier general commanding the c. N. G. Colonel Dorothy of the Second says he recognizes Governor Bulkeley as commander-in-chief, and Embler as adjutant general, but is puzzled as the brigadier general, as all official regimental communications to the adjutant general must go through the brigadier generals office first to get to their destination in proper form. He thinks his only alternative is to communi- cate direct with the adjutant generals office.
 General Graham at Middletown yester- day expressed much pleasure over the re- suit, although he had felt quite certain all along of coming out ahead.
 Adjutant General Embler said yester- day: It can only be considered that Gen eral Graham is out of the office because of dismissal by the governor, and that Gen. eral Watson is also out of office for a
  pointment. The real issue in the case is the failure to confirm General Watson's appointment. The reinstatement of Gen. eral Graham amounts to nothing. Should he attempt to issue an order, who is there who would obey ita
 Governor Bulkeley at Hartford yester- day tsaid he could not say what his off cial action in tue case would be until he had been officially apprized of the sen ate's action in the case.
 General Watson said yesterday: 'I re- gret very much that such a state of affairs has come to pass, but consider myself in no way responsible. I am acting under military orders and will simply obey them. If my superior officer orders my removal l shall not offer any objection"
 Yesterdays Hartford Post says "Yet, while claiming that General Graham is to- day just as much brigadier-general as he ever was, some of his friends-not all- think it may require an order from the tive command. This order will doubtless turn up missing like the letter that never came'n
 THE SITUATION A PUZZLE.
 Last evenings Hartford Times remarks: One thing appears to be certain, and that is, that by the refusal of the senate to confirm the appointment of General Wat son, such appointment fails and he retires to private citizenship. And his staff, also, Should General Graham claim the right to act as brigadier-general, he would need 6 staff, his former staff having resigned He would have to appoint 8 new staff, and the appointments would have to run the gauntlet of the adjutant-general's office. What is the chance of their approvala And as to General Graham's command. He was relieved from it before being dis charged from the service. How is he to regain 1t? -.-e |
 ACTING BRIGADMR. >~:.,.- -. Last evenings New London Day says: The action of the senate in the case of General Graham leaves the Connecticut brigade without brigadier general and the command devolves on Colonel George Haven of the Third regiment, who will be acting brigadier- general.
