CHAPTER VII.

The snow was falling fast and the
darkness seemed growing more intense.
The sleiShs and cavalcadc had sped on
like flash into the darkness, leaving two
forms lying in the road. A little further
away lay q horse, the blood slowly issu-
ing from gaping wound, freezing as it
flowed.
A form was struggling to its feet. 1t
was man of giant proportions, who held
Q broken sword in one hand and an empty
pistol in the other. He gained his feet
and for moment was dazed and con-
fused. Dropping the broken blade he
pressed hand over his head which had
received blow, and held it there for
moment.
"Capen! Capen Titz! Where are you?"
he asked.
Then he stumbled against the body of
his captain. and, STOPPING, raised his
head and shoulders from the SHOW, sup
porting him on his knee.
"Capen FitZ! speak to me, Capen Fitz.
Tell me yc hain't dead! Oh! can't bear
{ have ye dead, when there are SO many
cussed redcoats t kill yit. Talk t. me,
Capen, won't ye; tell me ye hain't dead.
Just tell me ye hain't dead"
A slight groan came from the man
whom he held in his arms. The giant
trooper picked up handful of snow and
rubbed it over the face of his captain,
who soon became conscious. though he
was dazed. stunned and weak.
"Sam! Sam. Have they gomez" he
asked, feebly.
Eyes, Capen."
"And left us?"
"Yes; left us for dead. no doubt"
Captain Fitzgerald. for it was he, was
soon able to sit up. Like his companion,
big Sam Moulton, he had received n
heavy blew on the head. which knocked
him from his horse, but fortunately no
bones were broken. Ills sword lay half
buried in the snow at his side. He took
It up and returned it to its sheath.
"Capen Fitz, are ye bad hurt?" asked
Sam.
mo-" he answered, shaking his head.
II will be all right soon." Then, after
few seconds Of silence, he said:
"The rascals got away, Sam?"
"They did, Capen."
"And have taken her with them. re-
member now hearing her call my name,
and was fighting my way toward her,
when some one struck me from my
horse"
AZ this moment snort was heard not
far on In the darkness, and Sam gave
low whistle, which was Immediately an
swered by low whinny, and the next

q sickening blow, and fall of body; then
q pistol shot rang out on the air.
Suddenly on her clouded intellect she
remembered having sent letter to her
lover and shrieked:
Maurice! Mauricc.'
A hand was placed over her mouth;
the struggling dragons, plunging steeds
and whirliug SNOW seemed swimming be-
fore her eyes, and she was again uncon-
scious.
