south possessed itself of fort after fort.
Inc streets of every city echoed the
tread OF marching men; every village
was aroused by the music of the fife and

OF war. Men looked upon the waving

said to each other:

written of war have deceived ms, There

he can't do no farm work. I'd like to
go along with yo' all, but I can't spare
over 80 days. Make it so days, and I'll
put down"
Il don't like to say 49," replied the
captain as he stood up to look over the
| crowd. "You see. we've got to get there.
wherever it is, and then we've got to
have a fight or two and march around,
and ! should reckon on so days anyhow.
Better come along. You never did have
no such chance TO see fun in all Your

"Waal, i reckon 10 or 20 days won't
make no great difference anyhow" said
the man. And he pushed forward to
add his name to the list.
Directly opposite two men sat look
ing ont of second story window. They
were in the law office of Justin Will
liams, lifelong citizen of the town
and lawyer of repute. He was a man
of 5j, but carried his age lightly. The
other was a young man of "a, well
built and having plain but kindly
face. He was Royal kenton of Rhode
Island, graduate of law at promi-
nent university and the junior partner
of the law firm of Williams & kenton.
They were uncle and nephew. Kenton
had come down about / 8 months before.
As the relative and partner of promi-
nent citizen he was treated with cour-
| tesy. AS Yankee, fresh from Yankee
L s.,
there was little heart in the hospitality
accorded HIM. There could not have
been. He represented principles an
| tagonistic to the south. There was no
neutral ground in those days. A man
represented not himself, but his Sec
| ton of country. The opinions of his Sec
| ton were considered to be his. A south
erner at the north would have been
looked upon through the same eyes and
held responsible to the same extent.
Men liked him as man, but they de-
| tested him as Yankee.
"Well, am sorry this trouble has
fallen upon the country said the old
lawyer as they watched the crowd oppo-
site. 81 have long felt that it must
come sooner or later, but l hoped it
would not be in my day. Nothing can
now prevent war.
but everybody appears to think it
will end almost as soon as begun, re-
piled Kenton.
"They do rot stop to reflect" said
the lawyer as his face assumed more
serious look. 81 am southerner, and
| l believe the south has been fully lusti-
fed in her course. but our people are

and temper of the north. They will not
let us go because we buster and threat

it will have to be won on the field OF
battle. 1t was to be, and it has come,
but it is to lie deplored.
| ''If war comes, business will have to

about the Office.

CHAPTER Ill

Night comes, and the streets of the
old town grow more quiet. Men have
cheered themselves hoarse, and intense
excitement has wearied everybody. An
even so men have signed the roll, and
more will come in tomorrow. The Ie-
cruiting Office has been closed by the re-
moval Of the table and the departure Of
the captain. With that officer we have
little to do. With the man in citizen 8
clothes who assisted him we have much.
Let me introduce to you as he sits on
the veranda of the village inn Duke
Wyle, 25 years of age. bachelor, the
only son of ex-Judge Wyls, the nabob
of the village and county. The young
man has been educated for nothing in
particular. He has done nothing in
particular since he left college.
Duke? Oh, Dukes all right" was
the reply to any half meant criticism.
THE old mans got plenty of money,
and Duke is his heir. Good boy, that
Duke. Likes to hunt and ride and is a
little wild, but he'll steady down after
a hit. Don't you worry about Duke!''
And when the news of war came
Duke found the excitement his nature
craved. When the volunteer company
was full, he was to he its first lieuten-
ant. He and Royal Kenton were &C.
quaintances, but not friends. In the be-
ginning they had been attracted toward
each other, and there was promise of
close intimacy. But no two men can
love the same woman and be friends
be anything less than enemies. Both
were frequent callers at the old man.
sion standing at the head of the long
street, in which resided the widow and
daughter of the late Hon. John Percy,
one of Virginia's Oldest and wisest SEN
ators and statesmen. If Marian favored
either enc, if she was interested in any
one of her numerous callers, no sign of
encouragement had been given. Ken
ton and Wyle were only two out of
twenty, and yet it seemed to be general
ly understood that she would ultimately
favor one or the other.
"Hooray! Hooray We uns will be
In Washington in less n so days!'
1t was the voice Of Steve Brayton
shouting as be drew near.
You there, Steve?" called Wyle as
the enthusiastic volunteer was swinging
his hat and making ready for another
cheer.
Watts wanted, lootenant?'
Come up here!''
"Doggone my hide, but want to sit
down thar and hev fout SO bad that l
can't stand still" growled Steve as he

year, we might make certain plans, but
1t is to hA a long and bloody struggle.
and this very valley will be battle
ground. We may as we'll close our Of
fee today as q month hence. Amid
such excitement as this there can be no
call for our services"
Il am northern man." said Ken
ton nfter moments thought.
''Yes, they call you Yankee"
IL have cared nothing for politics.
There is great principle herein in
volved, but our greatest statesmen are
divided over it. The south seeks inde-
pendence from federation which has
become unbearable. The north, or at
least a goodly portion of it, denies the
right of secession. This coming war is
the consequence. I stand on neutral
ground"
''You are neutral today, but you can
not be 80 days hence" said the old law
yer as troubled look came into his
face. do You find any neutral men in
that crowd down there? Have you heard
any neutral talk among our people? 1t
may not be 10 days before you will be
put to the test"
What test?"
"Of your allegiance to one side OF
the other. Every young man in orr
town is fastening to volunteer. l am
too old to be taken now, but later on /
may be forced into the ranks. 1t will
be war in which the south will need
her last man. am not pledged to a
southern confederacy, but am pledged
to Virginia. 60 with my state. You
have come down to cast your lot with us.
1t is for you 20 answer whether you are
for or against your adopted state.
Think it over. If you wish to go north,
the routes are still open. If you wish
to remain, you will be asked why you
don't volunteer. do not seek to infiu-
ence you. Be guided by your own con-
science. Tomorrow we will settle all
business matters between us. 1t may be
years before there is any further call
for our legal talents in this or any other
Virginia town. Military law will soon
override everything"
The old lawyer rose up and passed
down stairs en- his way home without
further remark, leaving Royal Kenton
in a brown study, which was interrupt
ed 10 minutes later by wild cheering ON
the street. He went down to ascertain
the cause, and man who had just vol
unteered swung his hat and replied:
"Hooray! We uns is gwine to send
fellers right ON to captur' Washington
and ole Abe Lincoln.'

CHAPTER II.

Let ms go back a few weeks and con.
meet the chain of events.
The thunder of hundred guns had
been let loose at Charleston, and the
south was rushing tn arms. One who
has not witnessed the beginning of war
cannot comprehend the insanity of ex-
element which accompanies the pas
sage Of each fateful day. We of the north
were delaying. hoping, trying to make
ourselves believe that war would he
averted. though no one could tell how.
While we were delaying the south was
acting. No man in any southern COM
munity dared talk Of peace. While the
