The division superintendent had beck
better than his word, for it was only
four o'clock when the train came Kissing
in, and in ten minutes, in long ghostly
procession, Rolfe's men were leading
their chargers, curveting and prancing
in the keen air, down the winding road
to the valley, the quartermasters
wagons following with chest and box
and bale and bundles of tentage and
camp equipage. In fifteen minutes more
the word went up to send down the next
troop, and the train pulled forward four
car lengths, so as to bring the next lot
of horse cars opposite the platform and
chutes, while Thorpes handsome sorrels
were led wondering from the dilnly
lighted gangway; and so, by few
minutes after five, even the officers
chargers aud the spare horses Of the first
battalion were all aboard, and some
where across the stream, Just as the

with shrill cock-a-doodle-doo, whereat

"All aboard now, sir.
"Then march up to quarters for coffee

Precious little sleep has there been
this night-no time among the men. no
inclination among the women. Wives
and daughters who had devoutly
thanked heaven that only the first bat
talon was to go were soon undeceived
and found that but ten hours respite
was to be theirs. All the night long the
note of preparation could be heard in
barracks and in quarters. The colonel,
with his adjutant and quartermaster,
hardly left the Office at all Berrien
hustled from barracks to his home, from
there to stables. At two o'clock, find
ing all his own campaigning kit in per
feet readiness, and Winifred and her
mother still budding over the parlor

face, the deep trouble in her pathetic
eyes, and, taking her in his arms, he
kissed her fondly again and again.

square away across the parade, heading
for the road in front of Farquhar's quar-
