had made, who shall blame her?
John paid Henry visit, and cheered
up that young man nightly by assur-

him o captain.
When Janet askeG 4icr ..usband if she
should have Capt. Hewson in 20 see

yourselves now over that Inbred ami

Capt lIewson grew up in our house
and his ill-breeding must therefore have
come from u.s. quietly replied Janet.
Quite likely, sneered Lanvale; your
family has not impressed me with any
sense of superiority, either in manners
or wisdom"
Janet had by this time heard SO many
coarse speeches from her husband, that
they had no longer power to hurt as n
earlier days. so she made no further re-
ply This angered Lanvalc yet more
than bitter answer, and he continued.
AS for you, my lady, don't intend to
have you receiving visits from other
men, and ! wish you not to see your
Capt. Hewson when he comes about; if
you do, when get up out of here, win
settle with him.
Janet was not of too patient nature.
and this insult was too much.
"Gou undertook to settle with nv
Capt. Hcwson, once before, and re-
member that you did not come off vie
torious," was the quick retort.
This answer maddened Lanvalc, and
he became so shockingly profane that

CHAPTER XXI.

Col. Gregory was made brigadier
general soon after the "Seven DAYS"
and at once communicated with John.
Offering to get him transferred to his
brigade, but John thought it wise in
view of Lanvale's hostility to decline
the tempting offer.
Constant service followed, and he saw
nothing more of any of the Gregory
family until the battle of Antictam
Riding hurricdly across the field, after
delivering some orders, he took short
cut through little point of timber. AS
he came out into the open field he found
himself mixed up with a confederate
brigade which was retiring before sur
pcrior force, but making stubborn re-
sstance. At this jurcture a fresh
brigade come up at double-quiclS. and

ground, and John found himself swept

he remembered how gallantly Lanvale
was battling when he last saw him.
AS his duty did not call him there,
and there was lull in the fighting, he
rode back, looking for Henry and Ian
vale. He found Henry and little
Irishman lying side by side. Henry
had spittcd the Irishman with his
sword, and in return had been run
through by the lrishman's bayonct.
Both were seriously, if not mortally,
hurt.
A little way off Lanvale was lying in

ragged backward and forward without
material advantage to either sidGf
John, always steady, never lost his head
in battle, and he noticed depression
n the ground running from beyond the
point of timber to point on the left
flank of the federal forces. Working hiE
way to Gen. Gregory, he stopped him d
moment to explain that if there was D
spare regiment in reserve by marching
it down this depression the federals
could be taken in flank. The general
caught the idea in a moment, and in,
structed him to ride back to Col. HALF
day, who was some few hundred yardt
in the rear with two regiments, and oE
der him TO make the flank movements
He rode off like the wind, found Cok
Halliday chatting like Gagged lion and
eager for the fray. The two regiments
were marched rapidly through the
wood into the depression, over which
hung a black pail of smoke that ef
fcctually concealed the movement, and
in few moments the advancing and
victorious federals We're greeted with q
wild YELL and found themselves flanked
by new force which had apparently

soldiers cannot stand flank move

Working his way through the stru9-

came upon Lanvale engaged in hot
contest with two federal officers, whom
he had summoned to surrender, and
who responded by attacking him vigok
ously. John rode to his assistance
AS he came up Lanvale disabled one of
the officers with pistol shot, but rec

to his remaining antagonist, turned oh

Lanvale down. Lanvale's fall COM
pletely restored John to himself, ana
he rode furiously at the federal, who
seeing himself overmatched, threV
down his arms and surrendered.
John got down to examine Lanvak
and found him insensible and grievouk-
ly hurt. Together with his prisoneA
who inflicted the wound, they tried
do something for him. After doing an
that they could to relieve the suffering
man, John hailed passing field ambt-
lance and sent him to the rear. Tte
federal officer seemed pleasant young
fellow, though naturally depressed q

form John took down his name, raHk

CHAPTER Xxx.
IN RICHMOND.

For the remainder of that bloody
week. John had no time to think of per-
.;onal matters. In the saddle eighteen
hours daily, hungry and thirsty, riding
rccklcssly through the tangled and
iwampy woods, amid dead and dying
men, with every pathway strcwn with
the wrcckagc and red with the carnage
of cruel war, often shuddcring and sad,
but never faltcring, our hero put aside
all selfish feelings and with an eye sim
gle to his duty obcycd the orders of his
chief without hesitation or question.
lie heard nothing more of Col. Greg
ory, though he knew that his command
was hotly engaged in several of the
battles. After the last disastrous strug-
gle ut Malvern Hill, when there came a
lull, he got leave of absence for day
and went up to Richmond to look up
his friends. Knowing that the woman
he loved had married another man, it
did not occur TO this single-mindcd,
loyal man, either to whine, or to feel
cnmity. lie resolved if they would per-
nit it to drop back into the old relation
ship, and to watch for any opportunity
TO serve them.
When he walked up to their door in
Richmond, he was perfect master of
himself The colonel, who had also pro-
cured leave, met him at the door with
cordial welcome and called loudly to his
wife to come and take look at his other
soldier boy. Mrs Gregory came out of
iienry's room hurriedly, and for mo
ment was bewildercd by Johns changed
appearance: but catching the affection
ate CLEAN of the unchanageably honest
eyes, exclaimed, as she embraced him;
'Ah, John, am so glad you cannot
change your eyes, as you have your
face with that great beard. and oh!
am so glad that the colonel and you
have come through these dreadful bat
ties unhurt. The colonel could tell us
nothing about you and we feared the
worst"
Johns eyes glistened at the good
lady's affectionate greeting, and the
proof of loving thoughtfulness in in
quiring about him, as if he had been
truly one of the family.
He found them all very much occu-
pied with the two wounded men, and
after a few minutes Mrs. Gregory went
out to see how things were going with
them. While she was out of the room,
John learned from the colonel that
Henry was doing well, and would re-
cover rapidly, but that Lanvalc seemed
to make no progress, which lie tthe
coloneD believed was due to the fell
lows ''cantankcrous" disposition, as he
expressed it.
Janet came in, somewhat embar-
rassed in manner, and looking very
worn. John met her with cheerful
cordiality that soon put her at ease, and
then the baby was brought in and
straightway made friends with him.
which she proved by. tugging most nm
mereifully at his beard. The young
mother in looking at the honest, strong
face, with eyes lsindled into animation
at the baby's antics, felt ashamed that
she had ever abused or doubted such n
generous and loyal soul If in her
heart Of hearts She made q comparison.

That fine. soldierly looking officer,
John Hewson? Impossible, my dear"
'Tndee,l, mother / am not mistaken,
knew him in a moment, in spite Of his
great beard, and he knew us, but evi-
dently does not care TO be friendly"
Further discussion was interrupted
by the entrance of Lanvalc, who had 10
report for duty that morning. When
the news was told him, he utterly pooh
poohed the whole story. The idea Of
that plebeian being captain of cavalry
was utterly absurd. They had made a
mistake and a polite man had spoken TO
them because he saw they had mistaken
ly recognized him.
