their din to the confusion. Upon
1t was demonstration by the ia
nous Minute Men," who rose in
every southern city as they had risen
nearly 100 years before when the
drums beat. Suddenly she was
jammed against a carriage, the prog
ress of which had been stayed by the
crowd. Its sole occupant was pale
silent man. In the glare of the
torches his face exactly filled lines
indelibly fixed in her memory by the
brief fame of match; it was the
face of Richard Somers, cold and i'm
mobile. Upon the seat by his side
was a traveling-bag; his eyes looked
out calmly, almost coldly, over her
head. He was not southern, he was
not Virginian, and the hour awoke
no response within his heart. Impul-
sively. and forgetting, she stretched
her hands upward, but memory re-
turned and checked the words that
rose to her lips. Only an inarticulate
cry burst from them, cry low and
half smothered in the roar of voices
Yet low as it was, it reached the oc-
cupant of the carriage. Something
in that voice, tone, a vibration,
touched a memory-cell. He turned
quickly and looked back; girl hold
ing desperately to the arm of an old
negress was being borne along by the
tumultuous human wave. For an in
slant only he saw her white face up
turned to his-the loveliest, saddest
face his eyes had ever gazed on, and
from her lips he heard come back one
word
FAREWELL" Forgetting all but that
he was leaving his life somewhere in
the fierce passions surging behind him
he made a desperate effort to alighI
from the vehicle, but so dense was the
crowd the door would not open. And
then angry men seized the rearing
horses and forced them out of the
! way. When he was free again only a
sea of flame. in whose depths human
| figures seemed to march, met his gaze

white face. A great transparency

CHAPTER TX.

The momentary happiness which
his unexpected impression upon
Frances brought to Holbin soon gave
place to jealous rage. It was impos-
sible for him to rest satisfied. He
told himself that the war was on;
that he had been wonderfully success
full in his contact with the secret foe,
and that victory was still possible.
He went forth blindly into the city,
seeking information of an unknown
wounded man, but. of course, no ex-
PLANTATION was forthcoming, for the
reason that no one knew of such a
man. At dark he sought the police
man whose beat was nearest the
Brookin residence.
Pistol shot? Oh, yes; he had heard
pistol shots every night since the war
fever came on; the town was full
of excitement. And the officer re-
membered also that recently car
riage had been twice driven furiously
upon his street near daylight--the in
cident had impressed him because the
hour was that in which the city was
usually quietest. He had been I'M
der the impression that the carriage
belonged to DR.. Brodnar, and he had
satisfied himself with the reflection
that some sudden illness had made
the speed necessary. why" he
asked. us there anything wrong
afoot?" Raymond assured him that
there was not and passed on, leaving
the officer convinced to the contrary.
Allthe facts Holbin had gathered now
confirmed Louise, but he had reached
the limit of his powers except in one
direction. Nanny" was the last wit
ness, and he hesitated long because
of her relation to Frances. Finally, in
desperation he privately summoned
her to his room. The woman stood
looking curiously at him as he
charged back and forth across the
floor until he paused and confronted
her.
'iou are called nanny, I believe"
he said, sternly.
Yes, sah!" Nanny was startled
and amazed.
You are, of course, aware that YOU
now belong to my mother, and that
have charge of all her property"
"Huccum, sab, b'long to yo' ma?

at him anxiously.
That makes no difference, woman.
We recognize no will in this house
that conflicts with my mothers, I
want you to answer my questions now
and conceal nothing, or it will be an
unfortunate day for you, old as you
are! Where were you night before
last| Nanny was astounded. No
one ever addressed her in such a man
ner She had long been a privileged
character. True, since the coming of
the second Mrs. Brookin she had lost
much of her prestige, but she still
held sway over the servants; and in
the wing she reigned supreme.
Il was out to see my daughter what
