"Read the other letter." she said,
disregarding him. 1T is likely that a
man would mention his wife in his last
letter to his mother" Raymond
stripped off the envelope and shook
two letters TO the table. One, unsealed,
was addressed to Mrs. Martha Somers.
Nothing but gush," he said, running
his eye hurriedly over the lines. Mrs.
! Brookin had picked up the other, which
was addressed to DIR. Brodnar.
! 'We are getting to the heart of the
mystery" she said. .'Read this. one."
Raymond read in silence first, and
then, leaning forward, excitedly read
aloud:

CHAPTER XVI.

The woman who leaned from the
upper window of the wing of the Brook
in residence that June night in 1862
was the ever-cautious mother scanning
the outward route chosen for her son,
who at that moment was in his room
concluding his arrangements for per-
ilous enterprise.
The time had arrived when Raymond
Holbin was to risk his future upon one
bold stroke If he failed, he was no
worse off than at the moment, unless,
indeed, he should be captured. With
the Brookin fortune dissipated by war,
Richmond presented but few attrac-
tons for him. If he succeeded in all
that his busy mind had planned, life
held for him Frances, revenge and

CHAPTER XIV.

Col Richard Somers dismounted and
took refuge upon the veranda of a
little cottage that fronted cross
road near Mechanicsville while his ar
tillery Numbered by and unlimbered
in position to face the enemy. Men,
horses and officers were worn out with
fatigue and hard fighting and eager
for an opportunity to snatch few
hours of rest. The two great armies
had entered upon the memorable
seven days fight which was to swing
around Richmond and leave bloody
path to Malvern dill. The cottage
seemed deserted, but presently an
aged negress made her appearance
from somewhere and pathetically at
tempted to extend it's Inequalities to
the officers who began to swarm into
the yard. Clinging to her skirts was
little girl of six or seven years,
whose fair complexion, blue eyes and
silken curls bespoke patric;an par
entage, but whose frail figure and in
cessant cough gave evidence of a
fatal weakness.
Her ma is done dead, sah," said the
old woman, respectfully, when Col.
Somers hurriedly questioned her con-
corning the family, 'an' her pa left

in the possibility of detention and dis
coyery; for although the papers which
he so highly valued were, as he sup
posed, unintelligible to any mind other
than his own, he was a confederate Of
ticer, and desertion meant death. He
had secured three weeks leave to go
south upon urgent business. but this
did not alter his liability. What passed
through the mind of this man as hesat

Her eyes closed in exhaustion. A young
officer who was sent TO find the docu-
ments came back quickly:
Saddle trailing underneath; pock-
cts empty" She heard him and un-
derstood.

farewell.
