CHAPTER XVIII.


The name Rest Haven" had been
given to the house in the mountains to
which the Percys retreated from Win
chester. The first idea was TO make use
of it for only few weeks-until the
war was over. Nobody in the south
after the Confederate victory at Bull
Run doubted that peace would he long
coming. They We're hardly settled when
Jackson recaptured Winchester. They
had scarcely heard this news when the
town was reocCupied by Il Federal force
In the last battle for possession the Per
cy mansion and all outbuildings We're
burned to the ground. Others shared
the same fate. Indeed the flames of
war wiped out third of the town before
war was hardly more than a holiday.
For a few days after learning of this
disaster the Percys talked of leaving
the valley for some point farther south,
but just as they had made up their
minds to 20 Mrs. Percy fell seriously
i'll, and that occurrence checkmated all
plans for leaving Rest Haven.
The servants who had fed from the
house at Winchester did not return,
but with hundreds of other colored peo-
pie made their way to Harper's Ferry
and thence to Washington. Uncle Ben
was the only one left. and but for the
presence of Mrs. Baxter the ladies
would have been in sore straits. The
slaves, male and female, We're escaping
from the villages and plantations in
droves, and the two or three women
whom Uncle Ben induced to enter into
service at the Haven disappeared with
the first dark night.
While Marian Percy felt distrust of
Mrs. Baxter, the woman was so re-
spectful in de,neanor and rendered her
self in all ways SO useful that the feel
ing rather diminished than increased.
Uncle Ben, on the contrary. grew to
hate her worse and worse as time passed
on. He could not conceal his dislike
of her, though he restrained his tongue
from denunciatiOn. He realized that
under the circumstances it was not only
policy but duty to do SO. One day be
found opportunity to say to Marian:

and here and there great heaps of fixed

There was the value of millions of dol
lars lying about, and nearly ali must

treat. Retreat meant that Lee and
Jackson would assume the aggressive
and seek to utterly annihilate the Fed
eral army.
The work of destruction began almost
before the cheers of Hoods Texans had
died away. Whole regiments We're de-
tailed for the work. The cattle could

by the midnight fires people on the
house roofs in Richmond believed the
green forests to be fiercely blazing.
Never had II genera! more to sacrifice
that he might he stripped for fight:
never was the hand of destruction more
ruthlessly applied. a night was not
sufficient. All next day while those in
battle line held the enemy at bay thou

over the ground, they were appalled, at
the sacrifices made. When the last heap
of forage had been given up to the
flames. Mcclellan was ready. His lines
were abandoned, and his army was in
retreat, but there was no panic. Lee
and Jackson were ready to follow. They
hoped to find fleeing mob. but when
ever they attacked il was tc be beaten
back by men as valiant as Napoleon
ever saw turn at bay. Mile by mile

the burial party reaches this spot to-

''Nor I either, but that's what Ike
says, and that's what Captain wyle
says, ana him jest orter be driv' over

But she checked herself again. Her
feelings had been aroused, and she had
said far more than she intended. She
was half laughing, half crying as she
begged Marians pardon and withdrew.
Now Marian knew why Mrs. Baxter
had come to her. She had suspicion
as TO the flight Of her servants. The
queer actions spoken of by Uncle Ben
were now explained.
1t looked as if Captain wyle and Mrs.
Baxter were conspiring together, and
the object was very plain. For reasons
of his own the captain had aroused Mrs.
Baxter's enmity toward Kenton and
made Ike an enemy to be feared. There
was complication which puzzled Ma
rian, and as the days went by she was
no wiser. If Uncle Ben made any new
discoveries, he kept them to himself.
and the mother was too i'll to be worried
over anything that could be kept from
her.
Three days after Captain Wyle's visit
there were "a clatter of hoofs and a Jan
gle of sabers, and the road was alive
with Federal cavalry for miles. 1t was
a portion Of Clusters brigade making a
reconnaissance in force, and Custer HIM
self rode al the head. While the COM
mand halted at a creek below the house
TO water their horses and eat noon
day meal from their haversacks the
general and his staff halted at the door
IN search of refreshment. They were
politely and even kindly received by
Marian, who insisted upon supplying
them with whatever the house afforded.
Captain WYE had boastfully announced
that there was not Yankee in uniform
within 30 miles of Rest Haven. Here
was proof that they even held the terri
tory round about her. When General
Custer understood that she was a refu-
gee from Winchester. he informed her
that the FedeTals then held nearly all
the Shenandoah and Luray valleys, and
there was every prospect of their per-
manent occupation. He kindly offered
her all possible assistance If she desired
to pass through the lines in any direc-
ton, but il was plain that the mother
was then too i'll TO undertake even the
shortest journey. He begged her to ac-
cept some cominissary stores-coffee.
sugar and meat-and realizing the
spirit which had prompted him she did
not refuse. The first two articles had
not only become luxuries in the war
ridden valley. Int Were not to be had
even in exchange for gold.
That was Marian's first sight of Gus
ter. but il was not 70 be her last.

SIX LIVES LOST

From the Ship Los Angeles on
the Rocks at Point Sur.
MONTEREY, CAL, April 23.-From the
latest information to be had here it is
believed that at least six lives were lost
from the ship Los Angeles, which
struck On the rocks of Point Sur late
Saturday night. Three bodies have
been cast upon the beach near the light
house. These are the bodies of Timothy
Nolan, fireman of the steamer; -
Fitzgerald, passenger, and a hOstler
named Sanders, from Los Angeles. The
youth who died in one of the liiebOatS
from exposure in the water and while
clinging to the rigging was the son
of Mrs. Augusta Curtin, of Los An
geleS. 1t is also known that S. N. Sher-
idan, an aged passenger from Ventura,
and Il Chinese Steerage passenger from
Los Angeles were drowned. The man
ner OF Nolan's death was an added terror
to the other occupants OF he lifeboat.
Tbs men at the oars worked the heavy
craft almost into the breakers which
pounded upon the steep. rocky cliffs at
the summit of which is Point Sur light
house, but so dangerous was their posi-
ton in the heavy swell that they dared
not attempt landing below the cliffs.
When they put about and headed out
10 sea againNOlan plunged into the sea,
determined to swim to the rocky
shore. 1t was little less than suicide,
TO! he drowned in full sight of ali in the
boat. 1t is believed that later reports
will reveal a still greater loss of lite.
The steamer Los Angeles has now sunk
below the surface Of the water. Moth
ing can be saved. There was no in
| surance upon the vessel or her cargo.
which is estimated to be worth $50, 0U0
