ily the edge OF the swamp was more

coming chilled and exhausted by these
fruitless efforts, and Mt length, after a
more devious and prolonged detour,

search OF some other mode of issuance.
Beyond him, the light seemed stronger
MS OF a more extended opening or clear

pleam from the end Of the swamp itself
Ms II from some ignis fatuus, or the
CHANGING of pool Of unbrolSen water.
A few yards farther brought him 10 ~,
and a full view OF the unencumbered
expanse. Beyond him far across the
swamp rose hillside bathed I'm the
moonlight, with symmetrical lines OF
small white squares dotting its slopes
and stretching down into valley o.

II was the cemetery; the white squares
on the hillside were the soldiers graves

uplifting solemnly like n reproachiu

With the view OF that fateful spot
which he had not seen since his last
meeting there with Sally BOWS, Hood
of recollection rushed upon him. In
the white mist that hung low along the
further edge Of the swamp he fancied
he could see again the battery smoke
through which the ghostly figure OF the
dead rider had charged his gun three
years before; I'm the bending white
plume Of funeral plant in the long
avenue. he thought he saw once more
the light figure OF Miss Sally Of only
Yesterday. In another moment, In his
already dazcd condition, he might have

a quick and bitter recalling of her
