CHAPTER *
Its worst,
SEEN IN A DREAM.

We were young and vigorous. The
girl was tall. straight, almost as strong
as l, and mile after mile dropped behind
us. The air lad the crisp, fresh coolness
of South Carolina winter, like north
ern day in autumn. The sun, climbing
steadily toward the heavens, shone in
full splendor and in an atmosphere as
pure as that over the sea. We could see
far to the right and to the left and be-
fore US, but we saw neither men nor
horses, just the rolling hills and valleys
and the struggling forests.
$50 much the better, said to Julia.
sfor the lonelier the country is the less
obstacle there Will be to our fight.
Morgan is retreating toward the Broad
river, and as we surely have passed
around Tarleton by this time we ought
to overtake him by night. l hope he
will have plenty to eat for think that
YOU and will miss Our dinner. y
..Do you know" said she, $ l begin
to hope that Tarleton will not overtake
Morgan at all? 1t would be an awful
scene and perhaps some of the rebels
are good men after all. -
Perhaps. %
Couldn't the war be ended in some
way without more years Of fghtins-by
some sort of compromise? Suppose each
side should give up little. .
Eve might make the proposition,
YOU and |, to congress and tie king. y
Don't jest 1'7n in earnest
'oThcn I'm afraid there's 10 chance
for Il compromise, and there hash been
for four or five years. Eitherw go free
or we dorot. You English like to boast
of your courage and tenacity. and we
make the same boast Of ourselves. 1t

lose y
Il am sorry.
She spoke truthfully, for she looked
her sadness. but the wind soon blew it
away, bringing back the sparkle to her
eyes and the rose flush to her checks.
We stopped about noontime to rest. and
Old Put made use of the opportunity to
hunt for green grass, stopping at times
to look benevolently at US and to indi-
cate that his state of mind was content.
We were both hungry, but we had
nothing better to do than to watch Old
Put nibble for his dinner, which he did
very industriously until called to him
and told him it was time to start

great GIT or heaven to man.
I felt twice the man that I was a
minute before. The girl was strangely
quiet, even shy, and more than ever l
felt as if it were my chief duty to pro-
tect her.
"No, Julia 1 said; this rebel
against the king means to live. So far
from dying, l haven't had anything
more than knockdown which has left
a sore spot on my head and a little
ache inside it. Eus can travel as we'll

you. Get up and ride. .
But she declined with Indignation.

at last, though did not like to do II,
and rode for couple Of hours. Then,
feeling as strong as ever, cisnounted
and made Julia take her turn on horse
back. But ct the end Of ar hour she, too,
dismounted, and we walked On togethe',
as before, not talking much, but happy.
The sun was again retreating before the
night, and the western skies were afame.
The light fell full upon the girls face,
and her beauty, splendid and glowing
before was tender and spiritual now.

Julia, l said, 'and will have to re-

said.

accept my responsibilities.
Old Put, who was walking slowly
behind US after his custom, raised his
head and neighed Itwas not whinny,
but loud, sonorous neigh that could be
heard afar It was full of meaning too.
And quarter Of mile ahead Of US on
one of the open ridges saw the cause-a
troop of dozen horselnen riding toward
us sat half gallop. Old Put neighed
again, long, loud and promptly.
Ought we not to escape into the
wood?" exclaimed Julia in alarm.
"There is time yet. Those troopers may
be English. %
She did not seem to notice the strange
ness Of a suggestion from her that she
hide from the English, but was con-
fdent.
'sThey are noe English, y I said.
''They are Americans. Old Put
knows his friends. Trust him. -
In truth, the horse uttered his loud
and joyous neigh a third time, and
had not the slightest apprehension, for
it was impossible to deceive Old Put
when he was wide awake
The horseren saw US and quichened
their pace to a gallop. As they ap-
preached l could recognize the Cont
mental buff and blue, and, telling Julia
that it was all right, we walked grave
ly on to meet them. Old Put, his dem
onstrations OF JOY made, followed after
with equal sobriety.
They were dashing riders, those men,
and their curiosity must have been
aroused by the sightof the girl, for they
came on at the long, swinging gallop Of
the good cavalryman and quickly IN

Old Put was something wonderful to
see. Though he hated a redcoat as a
cat hates a snake. he seemed to under
stand that he had part to act and that
he must act it well. All his true char
acter disappeared. He was shambling
dropping horse, with his head down
and ready to submit to anything, just
an ordinary, oppressed British horse of
the lower classes, not a proud spirited
American horse, conscious of the Dec
laration Of independence and the truth
that all men and horses are born free
and equal.
But when the last of the British
troops had disappeared around the hill
and the gallop of their horses had sunk
into mere echo Old Put resumed his
former and true character-his figure
expanded, he held up his head once
more. He was the true patriot, equal

that was the character IN which liked

are now faYorites with fashionable
women in England.
In many respects they are unique
among cats. They follow their own
ers as a dog would; they are exceed
ingly anectionate. and insist upon
being nursed. and they meow loudly
and constantly, as if trying to talk,
and to a deaf person at that.
They have more yivaeity than usu-
ally falls TO the lot Of cats, and less
dignity. In color they vary from pale
fawn through shades OF brown to
chocolate. There are two varieties,
the temple cats and the palace cats;
about the only difference between the
two varieties being that the palace
breed Is darker in color.
The only sacred temple cats that
ever left the land Of their birth were
given to DR.. Nightingale as a mark Of
special favor by the King of Siam.
They were named by their new owner
Romeo and Juliet, and are now the
property Of Lady Marcus Beresford.
They are very expensive, moderate
specimens selling for $50 and finely
marked ones bringing from SO to
$500.
Now that many ladies Of rank in
England have caiteries, the price OF
