three. Two of the soldiers found their way to the kitchen to set things in mo- tion for supper for the officers. The colored cook was highly indignant that her domains should Be thus invaded, and her indignation was increased when she was told to prepare a meal for those whom she styled How 'Federate ossi- fers. y
 There was no kelp for it. however, and preparations were i,nlaediately be- gun, amid many scolding remarks from Aunt Hannah.
 When the ladies of the malsion saw that the enemy had taken possession of their home, d sudden terror seized them. Their coming at this particular time showed plainly that the plans of Lieu tenant Gasque had in some way been discovered But even if that were so, they now reasoned, Jake would surely know of it, and before the men could land would give the prearranged signal. This reasoning gave them even feeling of relief. for If their friends. did not land the life of Lieutenant Gasque would not be risked.
 About an hour after the arrival of the troops supper was served III the dining room, and ill few minutes tho table was surrounded by Il laughing, hungry company.
 Aunt Hannah, the cook, in spite of her ebony face. was unusually keen and intelligent. and she knew that any in- formation she could gather of the ene-- my's plans might prove serviceable to L Ac 1,o, 117fi f.n11 Tod 1,or into the dining room, therefore, she lis tened intently to the conversation of the officers, and when she could no longer finger about the table she thought of the huge pantry, separated from the dining room only by board partition, and in this she secreted herself. It was not long before she overheard one of the officers telling another how, on the arrival of the second cutter in the offing, tho Confederates had at once suspected that an attack was about to be made upon the fort by the Federals. | This led them to put the Hathaway | mansion under strict surveillance and | to strengthen the fo1ces at the garrison. The night before the pickets had sur | prised and captured Uncle Toby as he was attempting to communicate with the cutters, but nothing could be learned from him, even under the severest threats, respecting the plans of the ene- my. When Jake was secured few hours before, however, he made a com | plete revelation of Lieutenant Gasgue's s intentions and the part he was expect ed to play in giving the warning signal. | On this disclosure the squad of men had been sent down to the mansion to pre- vent any communication with the steamers, and an ambuscade was to be arranged on the sandy point, by which it was hoped to capture Lieutenant | Basque and all his men.
 Aunt Hannah waited to hear no more, but as noiselessly as her 900 pounds of avoirdupois would allow left the closet and hastened up stairs in search of her | young mistress. She met Hilda in the upper hall, and with suppressed excite ment began her story.
