I %played--I do not knooOhow many
sets-with varying success. Still the
group under the chestnut tree did not
dispense, but rather increased as tho
afternoon wore on. OF course I was
very pleased my wife should be tho
object of such flattering and uncom-
promising attention, as I had resented
the lukewarm. careless manner In
which she had at first been received by
the county families. and the scarcely
yelled contempt and pity in which I
was held for allowing myself to be
%entrapped into such a wretched mar
riage; but. after a couple Of hours or
public r~eparation, I felt my wounded
vanity as q husband satisfied. and rath-

I was detained In town longer than

again, I sighted the beech woods OF

and satisfaction I had not experienced
even after the absence OF years. Yet
no one but the groom met me at the
station, though l had wired my arrival.
IA hasty inquiry relieved my fears: all
had gone well In my absence. I was
informed. and at the lodge gate Edith
awaited me. and, with an excited ges-
ture, begged me to descend.

whispered, glad welcome sparkling in

Half an hour later I entered tho
house, briskly calling my wife's name,
but no answer came. She was not in
any OF the sitting rooms. so I hurried
mp to her own room and found her
standing motionless by the window.
She did not move or seem aware of my
entrance until I touched her reproach-
fully; then she turned with q slight
shiver. and hid her face against my
shoulder.
"why did you go away-oh, why did

But the quick woman's wit caught

her arms quietly, remaining silent.

CHAPTER III.
A NEW FOE wITu AN ON FACE.

A slight, almost boyish figure, passing
to and fro with restless, tigerish move
ment, cut the red CLEAN of the smolder-
ing campfire with frequent shadow, as
the two prisoners and their escort rode
up to the bivouac on the river bank.
Challenge, reply and report quickly
made, the provost-marshal asked numer-
Gus questions of the captive pair, get
ting but scant information in return
Then he moved forward to the restless
PAGER by the fire, halted, and, saluting,
said:
maj. Conyers scout sends in two
prisoners, general Would you care to
question them, or"
"Send them to the rear, sir" brusque-
ly replied the officer addressed, passing
into gloom.
Zone of them is woman, sir"
The returning shadow promptly
halted raised pair of keen blue eyes
to the others face, shook the snow out
of the long brown curls escaping be-
meath his plumed felt hat and resting
on his collar, as he asked, crisply-
Camp woman, or spy?"
Certainly not an ordinary camp
woman. A lady, seemingly; though she
viii not talk" replied the provost
marshal, glibly. "And, sir, when a
woman won't talk"
ANY papers? Have you searched
them?" cut in his superior.
mo, sir. had supposed Maj. Con-
yers-'
g Supposedly Search them, STRIP And
the young general, with scarcely sup
pressed oath, locked his hands behind
him, stood with back to the fire, wholly
careless of the fast falling snow, and
watched his officers retreating form as
he approached the pair.
Fauntleroy had been lifted from his
cramped perch behind Doyle's saddle,
and Miss Clay, dismounting, had ap-
preached him, with eager query as to
his hurt.
LEG busted, but only strain,
guess" he answered, cheerfully, add
ing, rather ruefully: 1T will be in
marching trim long before l get the
chance to test 1t, now!
Poor, dear boy! And all for my
sake!'' Miss Clay whispered back. "But
perhaps we mag get off, if"
Her suggestion was cut off unfinished
by the brusque order of the provost
marshall;
Fall back, madam! = Sergeant,
search that prisoner. Why in thunder
haven't you done so already?" he added,
in lower grumbling, venting spleen at
his own reproof upon his inferior.
"All right Search away" Evan re-
sponded, with loud laugh, as the girl
stepped back without word, only one
quick motion of her hand to her lips.
And, noting it, the boy swiftly carried
his hand to his mouth, as though to
stop his laugh. With dash upon him,
the sergeant had his wrist in iron grip,
forcing down the tightly-clinched hand
and struggling to open it. But ere the
long, powerful New Highlander could do
this, only to find it empty-Evans
jaws had worked rapidly, and he gave a
great gulp, as the officer cried:
''Choke him, sergeant"
.'For what?" the reb answered, de-
family, springing back. you've made
me swallow my tobacco now; and Oh,
Lord! I'm getting sick!"
With a sudden lurch forward, he
leaned heavily on the officer, almost
tumbling him into the arms of the agile
sergeant.

"But I didnt-hit you'll" the boy re-
torted. with grin half of pain and half
of fun, trying to gain time for Carolyn
Clay and listening eagerly for any sound
southwark.
"Dismounted Corporal Riley, sir"
the sergeant reported to his officer, hand
to cap.
THAT'S even, major" Evan retorted,
quickly. "You dismounted me. May
ask one favor, sir? My horse and are
old comrades" he added with little
tremor in the voice. "Will you let the
sergeant put him out of pain?-No! not
that" He quickly threw up the car
bine the sergeant leveled at signal
from the major. '"There's one ball left
in my pistol; and l think poor old Jeb
would rather go that way"
The stout-hearted scout turned his
face aside, and the rough sleeve passed
swiftly across his eyelids, as the federal
trooper sent the last confederate bullet
into the blacks brain.
