the Battery, New York, with an angle
of elevation of forty degrees, and fired
with a full charge Of smokeless pow

height OF five and three-quarter miles;
and range to a distance Of just under
twenty-cne miles. With view to
showing what vast area would be
dominated by such gun. we present

There was something honest and
earnest in the png of his voice, and
the>gleam from his steel-blue eyes, if
not warm, was steadfast and friendly.
When he was gone, Mrs. Vernon re-
membered this and wondered why she
had not thanked him for his protfered
kindness; but the mention of British
soldiers, coupled with the suggested
probability that they might visit the
place, so alarmed her. that she could
not think of anything else for the mo-
ment that he was speaking.
They found the house most com
fortably prepared for them, and when
Lapin arrived later in the day, with
such of the servants from Chateau

to send, there came such sense of
homelike security that they could not

THE SHADOWS OF DARK DAYS.

THE SHADOWS OF DARK DAYS.
When Lieutenant Ballanche re.
turned from his reconnaissance in the
direction of the mouth of Bayou Bien-
venu, he brought a report which
caused General Jackson to issue Or
ders Immediately for the doubling of
all the outpost pickets and for all the
troops to hold themselves ready to
march at the tap of the drum.
As yet the reinforcements. so long
and so anxiously waited for had not
arrived, and the situation was most
perplexing. From hundred sources
came the information, doubtless exag-'
gerated and over-colored, that The
creoles of the city were concocting an
uprising in favor of the English.
Thus to the commanding general it
appeared that with an overwhelming
alien enemy before him, he, should
have to move his little army down the
river and leave behind him horde OF
traitors, who were but waiting for an
opportunity to fall upon the supplies
in the rear and so render defeat inev-
table. - :......
1t was at this point that Mr.. Vernon
came to his aid with three hundred
men we'll armed and equipped. They
were not n soldierly looking battalion,
measured by the ordinary standard Nof
military taste, hut there was fight in
them; and Jackson, who read men, at
a glance, felt their efficiency, az he,
looked them over in hasty review.

energy in the mattert sending, out
runners to call q meeting in one OF the
public squares. ,Singularly enough

ooh. I know that's just what he
will dol" cried Mademoiselle de Sc
cannes, relapsing again into hyster-
ical weeping and beginning to wiring
her hande. "Oh, please, Madame
Vernon; tell the coachman to take US
back! We shall all be murdered this
very night"
The suggestion was infectious:
Pauline caught the chill OF fear, and
Mrs. Vernon lost control OF herself at
an unguarded moment.
The carriage rumbled on through
the forest, and, if there had been any
person to hear, the voices OF the
women crying in discord must have
sounded strange indeed under the cir
cumstances..
The coaehman must also have been
affected, for he urged his horses i'm
patiently Y and kept increasing their
speed until they were making rather
reckless dash of it along the road
within view of a broad grassy marsh
stretching away to shining sheet OF
water. {.
Mrs. Vernon drew all the curtains
close over the windows! as soon as
she could command herself, and be-
gan to chide Mademoisslle de So
cannes and Pauline for their foolish
excitement. :t-....
Just then there was the sound of q
horse galloping by in an opposite
course to that of the carriage. Paul
inc looked out of the little rear win
dow. her eyes still streaming tears.
"Why, it is Lieutenant Ballanche!"
she exclaimed. "Why didn't he stop
and speak to us?" .f
= Mademoiselle de Sezannes almost
thrust her from the pane in her eager
ness to look out. ~ :;
1T is! It is!' she qu.'ee bod; Call

She clasped her HANDS and gazed

house bore the young officer, farther

road between the trees, and presently
lost him behind a fringe; 'of bay

"Oh. he never looked back or made

In few minutes the carriagel was
drawn up in front Of the plantation
house, which was one-story, wooden
structure set upon high foundation
of oak posts connected by latMce1
work of slender boards. An orahl
Grove, dark and rich, stood in

enthusiastic, even if their enthusiasm
did consciously root itself back II q
heavy sense of but half suppressed
dread.
Mademoiselle de Sezannes was, per-
haps, the most cheerful one. She
even tried to be gay over the conduct
of Lieutenant Ballanche, whom she
persisted in accusing OF wlllfully
passing her by unnoticed.
1t is due to the young man to say,
however, that he was scarcely aware
of the carriage as he rode past it. His
head was down, and his thoughts were
fixed on most important duty; for he
was. flying to General Jackson with
news from within the enemy's lines.
A fleet of barges, heavily manned with
finely equipped soldiers, was on Bayou
Bienvenu, and in afew hours the Eng
lish would have an army safely landed
below the city. The information this
time was authentic, for with his own
ewes he had seen what he was to re-
port.
Naturally earnest and intense in
his disposition, he felt to the fullest
measure the responsibility resting
upon. him. He would not trust any
courier to bear the message winch
might hold the fate of New Orleans
and the country. So he rode all the
way as fast as he dared urge mis- horse,
and on his nerves lay the strain OF an
all.absorbing excitement. The car
riage whisked past him as a mere
formless, colorless incident of his
flight to headquarters. He remem-
bered afterward we'll enough when he
would have given his life to;know that
he had halted just long enough to bid
the coachman turn back and drive at
once to New Orleans. Everything
and every person visible about Il
carriage came, out strong and cle
