CHAPTER XVII.

The first thing Malcolm did the next
morning was to go over to Alllworth
Abbey to fetch the small skyterricr
that had been Eudora's only pet.
He found the poor little creature
rambling disconsolately about the
grounds, where the servants told him
she always wandered, as if in search
of her lost mistress.
He took her with him In the chaise
and drove to the prison.
He was admitted at once TO the con-
dcmned cell, where he found Eudor;l
reclinging upon the bed. from which
she seldom now arose. for her strength
seemed waning, and it was a question
whether she could survive till the day
appointed for the execution, to under
go the sentence of the law. She was
attended by the stern-faced woman
who alternately. with Mrs. Barton.
kept guard. over the prisoner.

whence the negroes had fled in terror,
and all warning was at an end. Such
were his orders, and he had no choice;
yet il would have been wiser counsel
to recall him and his party within "a
hours. They could have done better
service nearer home. How IL happened
none could ever surely say. Among
the whites it remained for years an
article of faith that desperate and de-
termined negroes had followed Walton
Scroggs to his refuge and there wrealed
vengeance for the blood of their fellows.
Among the negroes it has never been
looked on as other than direct mani
festation of divine wrath upon their
enemies and prosecutors. How the
house could have so suddenly burst into
flame everyone could theorize and no
one explain; but at three o'clock in the
morning the few men remaining with
Capt. Close in camp were startled from
their sleep by the report of the sentry's
musket and the yell of "Fire!" and,
springing from their tents, were
greeted by the sound of cracking wood
work and screams for aid and the sight
of Walton Hall one glare of flame.
Some men got there quicker than
others-none were slow-but even the
foremost of the soldiers were appalled,
and bewildered by what they saw and

room maid Elinor wringing their hands

through the blazing hallway. 1t was at
this juncture that Close came laboiing
up the path. He was slow, heavy, had
longer distance to run, and was pant
ing hard, but he burst through the
squad already scrambling up the steps,
sprang through the fire-fashing portal,
and with the strength of an OK heaved

tumbled him out into the arms OF his
men, then turned on gasping Esther.

most fainting, she could only lean upon
the pillar for support and point
through the vista of smoke and flame.
Close lcaped like a tiger, with Gun
ningham and Murphy at his back. An
instant, and these latter reappeared,
blind, staggering, their faces hidden
in their hands, and burst out into the
open air. stumbling heedlessly down the
steps. a groan went up from the men;
their captain was gone. In vain Burns
and Mcbride strove to rush in to The
rescue. Mortal man could not stand
such heat. And then, in the midst of
the wild wailing of the terrified and
helpless women, came from around the
north side of the house an exultant
cheer. Those men who had had sense
enough to strive TO reach the side win

perate case. though soothed bv the

perate case, though soothed by the
knowledge that all the row at Vernon
that is, the human cause Of it all
was already out of danger. Close begged
the doctor for full particulars not only
as TO how they were but how they ex-
pected "to git along through the win
ter" and at last said he wished to speak
to him alone, whereat Potts and Lam
bert, wondering, left the tent.
1t was long before the doctor came
forth, and when he did he called this
young officer aside, culver in his voice
and queer moisture about his spec
tacles. 'Have you no expert on the
eye and the car in the army?" he asked.
"The captain should have the benefit
of the best advice without delay"
Lambert said he would report the
matter at once to department head
quarters, and, while they were still talk
ing, two men came riding out from
town-"old man Potts." beyond all
doubt, and with him Lambert's rail
way friend, the conductor, and these
gentlemen, too, had come to "surren-
der" Close could have had his fill of
triumph and adulation that dull De-
cember evening, had he been so minded
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
mail stacked UP on the office desk, he was
rejoicing to think how the good in his
queer comrade was winning due recog-
milton at last. Hes a rough diamond"
he said to himself, "but brave as lion
and true as STEEL"
And then as he opened the first letter
from department headquarters, adj

Lambert's face paled and his eyes di-

1T makes all the difference in the

dressed, tired-looking woman, who was
scrubbing at house where she had
asked for work. Her tongue was as
nimble as her fingers, but her views
on all topics were so CHEEKY and hope
full, notwithstanding her manifest pow
erty, that her garrulity did not become
tiresome to the listening newspaper
woman. Her opinions on marriage,
coming as they did from woman to
whom marriage had brought poverty
and unceasing labor for an invalid hus-
band, were refreshing, and had the
ring of a true heart.
"Yes," she said, folks that marries
for but one thing makes n dreadful
mistake. 1 often think to myself:
What if had married for nything in
the world but love, real, genuine, sure
enough love! What n fix I'd be in to-
day!"

thrusting open of the shutters and the
appearance of the well-known burly
form of their captain with some
blanlet-shrouded shape in his arms.
The flames leaped forth from that very
easement but a second after Close and
his precious burden were lowered to
the walk below.
And this was the story Of brave
mans deed be heard from every lip,
said Lambert, later, as he fastened
back on receipt of the news; and this
was the response made by the brave
man himself, when his lieutenant bent
over his seniors scared and bandaged
face next day and rendered his sodierly
congratulations Turning slowly over
on his side, Close pointed to the wreck
Of pair of uniform trousers, scorched
and burned in a dozen places and ir-
retrievably ruined.
Look" said he, mournfully. "Them
was my best pants"
Then il was found that not only had
the strange old fellow lost his hair and
beard, and not a little of the cuticle OF
his face and hands, as we'll as those
patched but precious "best pants" but
that his eyesight was threatened. The
good old doctor who had for so many
years attended the Waltons, and who
had come at once to renew his ministra-
tons under the humble roof in town
that was their temporary refuge, lis
tened TO the story of Closes heroism
with quickened pulse and kindled eye.
He and Mr.. Barton Potts, who had
10 camp to see and thank the PROSTATE
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 it could be
reen. Professional etiquette prevented
his saying anything that might be
reflection on the treatment and practice
of the contract surgeon" yet it was
plain TO Lambert, and to Potts, too,
seemed to think less of his own plight
than of that of the Waltons, who, ex-
cept the little patch of fields about the
ruined homestead, had lost everything
they owned i'm the world, and who were
now in scro anxiety and distress. The

"You could, easily, but you don't want
to, or you would have given me my cap
long ago."
"Oh!" and the jaunty kept went
spinning into the darkness of the night,
and the little lady stamped in fury at
her own blunder. Take your cap, and

ing GOODNESS, 'if I'm to follow my cap
it hasn't gone towards camp at all. 1t
eeems-eXcuse me if / come back for
light-it seems to have dropped close to
that old arbor of yours among the rose
bushes, where you sit in the summer
moonlit evenings. Suppose we leave it
as an excuse for me to drop around
next time you go there"
But now she seized candle and went
bounding down the steps. a moments
search among the bushes, and she found
it-also him, for he calmly followed.
"There's your cap" she said, land
yawnduh's the gate!"
He looked up in affected pain and
establishment.
"Why, Miss Katesie!-I supposed you
were simply acting on my suggestion,
and we were going to have such lovely
time at the bower. That's why l fol-
lowed"
"Oh, All should like TO tay-uh your
tongue out. You know All hate the
very ground you stand on"
The gloom in his face gave way in
stantly to radiant JOY. You do?--
really?" he cried. "Oh, never hoped
for that! 1 thought you loved every
inch of this ugly old state and that l
. never could coax you to leave it. Do
you really hate it SOP"
But now, fairly beside herself with
vexation, the girl had turned and fed,
her little feet seeming to fly up the
worn old steps that groaned and crealed
under any other touch. He stood gaz-
ing after her a moment, the teasing,
merry smile still lowering about his
lips, then picked up the cap she had
hurled to earth, and walked blithely
away.
Not ten yards from the gate came
Corp. Cunningham on the run. Capt.
Close desired to see the lieutenant at
once. A negro stood by the campfire
in front of Closes tent, trembling from
either fear or excitement or both, his
protruding eyes fixed on the form Of
old Rasmus, who was eagerly jabbering
to the company commander.
''Do you know anything bout this,
lieutenant" asked Close. "These
darllies say there's been a big row over
towards Vernon, and that Walton
Scroggs is among the killed"
