ing, and for the next three days the cab
In was in a state of siege. He hung
about, determined to investigate the re-
ports which had somehow leaked out,
but finding the woman on her guard he
finally went away to report to the mill
tary authorities. Thanksgiving day
came-cold, bleak and dutter of snow
flakes in the air. Little Jim had been
shot just three weeks before, but such
was the nursing that on this day he was
helped out of bed and bolstered up in
the big rocking chair to eat Thanksgiv-
ing dinner. Tears came to his eyes as
he saw what efforts the woman had put
forth and how meager the results.
Mother, children and soldier were gath
cred at the table when there came g
clatter of hoofs and a clanking of sabers,
and dozen troopers in gray galloped up
to the door. At their head was a SER
geant, who pushed his way in and seized
wife and children and kissed them be-
fore he looked at the pale faced man at
his table. He was followed by cor
poral who was scarcely inside the door
before the children cried out:
'FUncle Danieli Uncle Danie1I Our
other Uncle Daniel has come home"
The bushwhacker had made his report
to the nearest camp, and the sergeant
had been sent to bring the prisoner in.
He sat at the head of the table and heard
the story, and when 1t was concluded he
patted his wife en- the head and said:

away. Not horseman passed. A shift
Of war had left that cabin the center OF
neutral ground, and the armies were
preparing to go into winter quarters.
There were days and nights when Lit
Jim was out of his head and raving of
home and mother. There were days and
nights when his life hung on thread.
He had the care his own mother would
have given him. Many and many 8
time he called her his mother, and
blessed her that she had come down from
the old hume to nurse him back to life.
By and by the crisis passed, and the SOL
der knew where he was and the situa-
ton outside. He knew more than the
good woman would have him. That lit
tie family was being put to sore straits
to find him such food as an invalid must
have, and he heard the children cry out
at night because they had not enough
covering to keep them warm. After q
few days, when he found there was no
chance to get word into the Federal line,
he begged of the woman to deliver him
Irp to the Confederate authorities and re-
Eeve herself of the burden. She indig-
nantly refused, and the children, who
had insisted on calling him Uncle Daniel,
cried at the thought of his going away.
Pretty soon new peril threatened.
The neutral territory was given up to
bushwhackers and guerrillas. One day 8
long haired, evil looking man, whose
garb was that of a farmer, and who was
probably the would be assassin of Little
Jim, was seen lurking about the premises
The woman put another pillow behind
the soldier, handed him his revolver and
quietly said:
81 have your carbine and shall try to
kill him If he persists in entering the
house. If I am killed, then you must
take care Of yourself"
The sergeant could hear every word Of
the conversation as the man finally adj
vanced to the house, and the woman
stepped outside to meet him.
Look yere, woman" he began, ''who

''By what right do you ask that7" she
demanded in turn.

nance, but that may have been Bliffins'
fancy, for every one looked like rogue
or fool to him, the latter class predom-
mating.
Blifins was left alone, for no one else
happened to patronize the bath that
morning. A pleasant feeling stole over
him. His withered limbs seemed to be-
come more supple and the thin blood
to circulate more actively in his veins.
He sank into sort of somnolent medita-
ton, his business transactions still up
permost in bis mind. ''Oh, I'll sell out
the Widow O'Hara tomorrow" he
thought, ''and make cool hundred by
the transaction. People tell me I'm hard.

cry day I'm growing richer and richer.

thought was so pleasant that he chuckled
more audibly than usual.
Meanwhile the atmpsph erahad become
more cloudy and the Heat more sitting.
Blifins began to feel uncomfortable.
''The temperature is getting pretty
high" he thought.
It was. Great clouds of steam rolled
into the room, as if the attendants were
bent in earnest upon thawing out his dry
old frame. He could hardly see The cell

Blifins. Rising, he made his way to the

The attendant only grinned, and his
face seemed more diabolical than ever.

''You won't let me out2"
The man grinned again and turned
away.

Blifins fell upon the marble floor, his
senses almost deserving him. The heat
became more intense, the vapor enter
ing In heavier clouds than ever. He
breathed with difficulty; he gasped; he
struggled. The laughter of the attend
ant seemed 10 echo in his ears like the
shrieks OF 10000 fiends. He thought he

"You old wretch!" she exclaimed.
s'Now you are getting your deserts. You
would sell me out, would you"
She shook her fist at him as he covered
there, and her figure was replaced by
others, the ghosts of those whom he had
robbed, many of them children with
faces pinehed by hunger who had arisen
from the grave to confront him. All, it
was merry procession for Thanksgiv-
ing day, as long as the longest chain
