lence for few seconds, followed by
muffled murmur of voices, the soldiers
bent forward eagerly, and a message
was passed down their line from one
to another, accompanied by looks OF
amazed surprise. Mrs. Tailyour pressed
her companions hand tighter, the ter
rible moment had arrived-how would
the girl face it? Was it possible that
she possessed sufficient strength of
mind and body for the horrible ordeal
which she had set herself?
Then Mrs. Tailyour saw Capt. Fer
guson emerge from the station with a
dazed look of CONSERVATION on his face,
the result evidently Of great and over
powering emotion.
He came hurriedly toward them maxi
ing signs to Mrs. Tailyour, which she
failed to understand.
"Has it not Gomez" she whispered to
him as he approached.
"There has been a mistake" he muir
INJURED, in reply; and Maud-though ap-
around her-caught the words; her face
woke to animation; she leaned forward
crying.
"a mistake! He has not come! Oh,
tell me quickly, can bear it, he is not
dead; he is alive-I see it on your face:
for PHYS sake don't keep me in sus-
pense-let me QUIT must go to him."
She was struggling to open the door
when someone put Capt. Ferguson
quietly aside, and then with loud cry
Maud sprang past Mrs. Tailyour, and
| fell sobbing on her husbands breast.
Yes! There had been q mistake.
Gerald was alive, though not uninjured;
for he carried one arm in a sling, and a
bandage round his head accentuated
the startling pallor of his face.

preached very nearly to the shadow
land of the Great Unknown. She came
back from the borderland of eternity,
no longer laughing, thougbtless child
but woman in mind and feeling. The
shock of a great sorrow. followed by a
great and overwhelming joy, had awals-
ened her sleeping soul, and brought
te maturity the deeper and finer traits
of character which she possessed, but
which. hitherto untouched by the
molding hand of sorrow, had lain
quiescent in her and unknown.
Capt. Ferguson averred that he had
faced the horrors of war and endured
many terrible experiences, but at no
time in his life had he come so near ut.

der their dark lashes with mischievous
light in their depths, and with coquet-
fish lifting of the finely marked eye

him from the task he had set himself.
Would she ever be serious? ever see
that life held deeper interest than the
whims and amusements of the passing
hour?
His wife-this bewitching, lovely, ir-
responsible being! He went over to
where she was lying in long chair in
the shadiest, coolest corner of the We
randa, and taking her two slim white
hands in his strong brown ones, he
knelt beside her and said: "Maudie, l

liant indignation.
"Yes, my darling, must speak plain

but still, how unhappy you were made
by all the wretched talk and gossip
that followed!'

She withdrew her hands from his
clasp with reproachful gesture, and
added, pouting:
"After all, it is not my fault that
am pretty, and cannot help it if your
friends will admire me and pay me at
tention."
But you will be careful, my darling;

"Oh! now you are going to abuse
