1t was sunset at the Union camp.
Colonel Burney had summoned all the
officers of the regiment to one of the
little festivities which are often i'm
provised on the march or in camp
A certain feeling of anxiety per-
vaded the group. Lieutenant Roland,
though expected every minute, had not
yet arrived. The colonel had no rea-
son to conceal the fact that he had
given the young officer a leave of alb
sence or It's purpose. True, dangers
and risks were everyday occurrences
in this war; people regarded them as
matters of course and wasted few
words over them, but Roland was, as
his friend expressed it, the darling
of the regiment
II ought to have refused the leave
said Colonel Burney, angrily. II fear
the matter will end badly. He ought
to have been here long ago, had the
adventure proved successful

But that won't do

this courtesy the necessary emphasis.

clerk, and the latter, with a trembling
hand, drew out paper which he held

horror.
No; not the whole army-there
would scarcely be room for it on the

you during our drive that the troops
were marching in this direction. But
we desire, for certain reasons, to have
the ceremony performed first. The

she must be ready to be married at
once.
He had at last entered with the ut
most zeal into Maxwell's bold plan,
which had at first seemed out of the
question. 1t was really the only way
to secure his bride and prevent any
later intrigues of Edward. He had
an inviolate right to claim his wife.
Happen what might in Springfield, she
belonged to him alone. The brief de-
lay which would be caused by the cere-
mony was really not so dangerous as
it SCENE. Captain Wilson could hard
ly have reached the city, and the es-
cort would not arrive before evening"
The doctors were not expected for
several hours; and as for the servants,
Maxwell's Judgment of them proved
correct.
CHAPTER XII.
From the moment they discovered
the identity of the two strangers all
hostility was at an end. They be-
longed to the ranks of the ''libera-
tors" Besides, they loved their young
mistress as much as they feared in
Edward the stern master. The last
few months, during which he had had
the reins Of government, had shown
the whole household what was to be
expected from the new master. Now
he had mysteriously vanished. Per-
haps he might even be dead. But not
a hand stirred to seek or aid him.
Besides, practical John, who never
lost sight Of any possibility, had TAX:
en- care to prevent danger from the
few white men who were acting as
Overseers in the fields. He had sum-
moned the whole establishment, and
briefly stated that the Union army was
marching in that direction; that one
regiment would arrive that evening
and hold every human being in
Springfield to a strict account, if a
hair of his head or Lieutenant Ro-
lands was harmed. The composure
with which he related this fairy tale
made strong impression, and the
rapidity of all these incidents bewil-
dered them. No one ventured to raise
an objection when Maxwell ordered
the fastest horses to be harnessed and
the carriage brought round; but all
fastened to obey, while the doctor

A great many young men are interested
in the question, What makes a successful
editor? In his thoughtful lecture on jour
nalism at Yale University recently the
eminent and eminently successful editor
and publisher Frank A Munsey truly said
that practical journalism can be learned
in the editorial room, not in the college" Z"
He added that education was the first
requisite for the successful Journalist and
next faculty of accurate observa-
ton. Mr.. Munsey has reserved the order
OF the journalists primary qualifications
We should make the faculty of accurate
observation first, for no Journalist has ever
succeeded who has not had what Henry
WatterSon calls "a nose for news" ANY
man or woman with this one great oualifi-
cation will succeed in journalism Educa-
ton is. therefore. OF secondary Importance.
for. no matter how highly educated one
may be, he will not succeed in newspaper
work unless he has this rarer gift of an
probation. AS Mr.. Munsey SAYS the
great thing in journalism is to have some
thing to say. and TO the man who sees
things the world is full OF interesting ?
things" We also agree with our able col.
league. in his plea for quality instead of
quantity. for smaller rather than larger
newspapers. for shorter rather than long
stories. MIR. Munsey, the publisher of
three newspapers in three great cities
New York. Boston and Washington-has a
splendid opportunity to establish his pro-
posed new school in Journalism. which still
remains, to use his own expression. "the
srendest OF all the professions"
