But here, it must be admitted, the burst
of laughter in which Rorke INDUCED was
too much for her determination to weep.
and, blazing through her tears, the maiden
demanded explanation of his unseemly
conduct. Rorke was permanent member
OF the colonels establishment now, but he
could not risk Miss Lucretia's displeasure,
and was wise and knew his danger, and
fled to the kitchen, there to tell the cook
and Chinaman the lady's plaintive mono
iiogue, while Amory, equally conscience
less, ran out to convulse with it the party
on the porch. And then, in the midst of
all the laughter, came delirious news from

peer from under their shade for one look
at the face they had gazed upon in such
passionate farewell so many months be-

were still thrilling softly through the open
easements, and, overcome with emotion
tenderness and passion, Helen bent and
laid her soft lips in fervent pressure on the
senseless glove.
Then the room rang with a sudden,
startling, joyous cry. The shade went

Leale had sprung to and seized her in his

The expedition had proved even longer

bluffs of old Fort Frayne would greet their
eyes before the close of tomorrow s march,
and so they debut with a raging torrent

and less than forty eight hours to Will s
wedding day.
Meanwhile there had been a partial re-

balconies, while, all shrieks and terror,
and protestations that she'd never speak

upon sofa.
Was ever there a wedding day to match
1t? Soaked to the skin, dripping but tri-
umphant, Will Farrar rode out of the
floods and up the heights, amidst the
frenzled acclamations of the garrison, and
throwing himself from the saddle at the
coIonefs gate, demanded to see-f not
