service as a commissioned officer Mr..
Lambert was heard TO cay that never
even when ii homesick plebe at West
Point, had he passed so forlorn
Christmastide as that which lmmedi-
ately succeeded his graduation.
The rain was beating down in suilen
shower upon the bare and dripping
woods and sodden fields; the roads
were deep in mud; camp, of which he
was once more commander, was wet
and cold and cheerless; in the adjoining
tent lay his senior officer grooming on
. bed Of pain. hands and face biistered
end bandaged, hair and eyebrows gone.
while over across the way pile OF
scorched and blackened timbers,
couple of brick chimneys, and the stone
foundations, were all that were left Of
Walton Hall.
The story brought In OF the big row
at Vernon. though exaggerated. had
been sufficiently confirmed in the
course Of an hour or so that wlntrY
evening of Larnbert's last visit TO the
homestead, TO warrant his being or
dered thither with half the company
to "support the civil authorities In re-
storing peace" Close reported the
situation by telegraph to department
Headquarters. and the action taken By
him, his dispatch reaching the general
commanding the next day an hour or
so after that official had been ordered
from Washington TO send full particu-
lars of the disturbance in his bailiwick,

and which Pierce hastened 10 push for

FASTENED back from Quitman, came out
TO camp to see and thank the plostrate
soldier, Potts being ceremonious IN his
expression Of gratitude and admiration
and most earnest in his apology for
what he had said and thought of Close
in the past. The doctor stayed longer
by the silent sufferers cot, carefully
studying his face as far as II could be
geen Professional etiquette prevented
his saying anything that might be a
reflection on the treatment and practice
of the contract surgeon" yet II was
plain TO Lambert, and TO Potts, too,
that he was disturbed. Close, however,
seemed TO think less of his own plight
than of that of the Waltons, who, cx-
cept the little patch Of fields about the
ruined homestead, had lost everything
they owned in the world. and who were
now in sore anxiety and distress. The
terrible shock and exposure had been
too much for one so fragile as the lady
mother. and Mrs Walton was sinking
fast. Walton Scroggs, too. was in des-
perate case, though soothed by the
knowledge that all the row nj Vernon

triumph and adulation that dull De

and the doctor more complaisant; but
that practitioner said that, while he
was not in charge of the case, he would
strenuously advise against further dis
turbance of the patient. When at last
they were all gone and Lambert could
address himself to the little packet of
