AS / listened to the Quaser's description
OF the girl, of whose identity l doubted as
little as did the trooper, my heart sank with
in me. considered the suffering she had
undergone to make necessary her asking
food of stranger on the high road, and was

of concealment, dspatching the man Low

er, and rescuing the girl myself, and all
without thought of my own risk, when an
accident put an end to this sudden dream of
heroism and caused me to face stern facts.
Twas but natural that bad taken
quick dislike to the Quaker, who had inno-
Gently been the means of setting a pursuer
on the track of the patriotic girl, and twas
also natural that ! wished to see more of
him than his legs and the butt Of his staff.
10 the end of satisfying my curiosity, lift
ed my head as before, but was seemingly
less cautious with my foot, for, moving it un-
thinkingly, tilted my sword, which must
have but just balanced on the edge of the
bench, and sent it crashing to the floor with
Ito mel racket that might have been made
by falling house.

Both the Quaker and Lowney gave a
start as the sharp sound echoed through the
room, the former dropping the spoon he was
carrying to his mouth, while the latter
sprang to his feet and looked toward the
darkened corner in which | had been hid
ing. The two candles in the large apartment
gave but scant light, but, scant as it was, it
proved enough for the sharp eyes of the
gambler, who evidently caught sight of a
face, for with an oath he cried: "What have
we here-a drunkard or deserter?" and adj
vanced toward the table.
And now it appeared that would be sud-
denly forced to do the very thing that but
moment before had been buzzing in my
brain as only dream. Concealment being
no longer possible, would face matters as
they fell out, and trusted to put all into
execution before help in the shape of the
negro or others without might arrive. Ere
Lowney had covered half the space betwixt
us, stopped for my sword, and, jumping to
the bench and from that to the table, drew
the blade.
