No; as he still pondered over the question, the hands of his watch crept to half past II, and a horse, somewhere out in what appeared to be a lane or alley behind the barn, neighed impatiently; and, surely as he could hear the tick of his watch, the beating of his own heart, Benton caught the sound of a low, graff voice almost directly under meath his window, and then the dull. sudden tramp of hoofs on rain-soaked sod Then-then there were two horses -or two parties-one in the dark lane, one here almost at his feet

Burn this, too," said the second missive; and, in honor, was he not bound to shield one who so ca gerly, unsel1shly sought to aid or res cue him? Yet Rosalie wished to see, and-good God, how he longed once more to see her and satisfy himself that she would approve, condone. for give if he seized this chance of es- cape!-to satisfy himself moreover, that she no longer held him as she had-in rank disfavor, that possibly possibly But that thought was madness!
 And then, though his door stood a trifie ajar and he had been listening, listening for any sound that would tell of her presence near him-that he might, even at so late an hour, have one word with her; though not the whisper of footfall had reached his ears, something. light as down and barely audible even to him, was softly, stealthily tapping on the panel

evident that the youngster had been carefully coached" to point out the lightning rod as the best means to leave the house unseen, unheard. That Benton was confidently expected to make the attempt was obvious. Other wise Pomp would have remained to help him off with his boots and uni- form. Even to his watch, purse, spurs and boots not an item of his personal equipment had been taken by his cap tors. His sword had been stricken from his hand during the melee at the stone house and his revolver was gone but that was all. A year later every thing would have become legitimate spells of war.
 Peering from his window Benton saw. or fancied he saw, the dim light as of lantern hitting about the barn. Evidently they were even then waiting for him. Evil dently he was expected to Hose not a moment" Yet who were they? Surely not his venerable host and helper-for Dr. Chiffon could not lend himself to any scheme for the escape of the prisoner without breaking faith with

Surely not Rosalie! She had shown such deep abhorrence of the plot to speed his going that, even after her impulsive outbreak early in the evening, he could not but feel it would be treachery to her and to those she held dear, were he now to make the at tempt, notwithstanding the fact that transfer to Libby stared him in the face.

 They sought shelter on the streets, only to find pavements and gutters flush with water. Plunging madly through the miniature flood. the rats sought a

CHAPTER xr.
QUEEN RosALIE.

For ten minutes after reading that strange missive Benton stood absorbed in deep, painful thought. The alter native presented was a trying one. From what pr. Chiffon had said in the course of the evenings conference tho prospect of long imprisonment seemed assured. Lounsberry was a man oi influence,s even power, r,a at Richmond and he could be relied on to exert II against Benton because because, y said the doctor, as he was rearrangint Ehe bandages on Benton's arm, The js no longer kindly disposed toward my household, suh.' and Fred reasoned that Rosalie could, if she would, give further and more explicit information
 T have been fearing this for several days, suh,'' said Chiffon. Several of my patients. who are loyal virginians and fully in accord with the stand of their state, suh, have nevertheless been loyal in their friendship to me. They believe in fair play; They honor q ehivalric enemy. and they know how you protected and aided me. From snree or four sources, therefore, these warnings came, and-and other stories that I prefer not to mention. I re. fused to believe all until Maj. Louns, berry practically confirmed the truth --that is-the truth of those referring to him, to-day. But I shall write to Longstreet tonight, suh, and to Jet Stuart and to Gen. Lee. They will have influence with the president, Mir Benton, and meanwhile,' here both tho kindly v&ice and the gentle hand seemed to tremblc, TT would give almost anything own toto stor your being sent to Libby, suhS but, see no way-I see no way"
 And soon thereafter, leaving Pomp tn assist his soldier patient, the doctot had withdrawn to his study on the ground floor, promising to be with hiIn again about five.
 It was just after il o'clock by Renton's watch as he reused himself from the spell of9anxious thought and looked about him. There was signifi- canoe in Pomp $ disappearance. It was

 Hush! Silence!" she cried, adding imperative stamp of her little foot.
 From the window of his room there came a pleading voice. In the soft glow of the candle light two rolling eyeballs and double row of gleaming teeth were seen. It was Pomp, simian- like scaler of the lightning "rawd 7 Miss Rosalie," he panted, ''the horses IS hyuh! The sojers done gone!"

 And this, at least, was not from the hand that penciled the other!
 Again the sound of horses hoofs beneath the window, and low-toned, re- bukeful, yet almost imploring remon- strance. A darkey's voice surely.
 "Cain't yo keep him still ?" it asked. and Benton crept to the open window and peered down into the dim depths below. and then came the soft hail in tones he felt sure he knew-Black Dan's-Dan whom he had heard sing ing and doing chores about the sheds and gardens for days past: "Fo' Gawd, Marse Benton, f you doan come quick dis horse'll spile de whole business. :

It was just before the six o'clock roll call when the bluecoats report to the station for nightinstructions. When the first corners reached the steps they saw the rats. The latter showed fight, and the policemen waited for reenforcements As soon as a good-sized squad had gathered, the men drew their clubs and blackjacks and charged in body.
 It was short but ferocious struggle. The rats, driven to corner, fought viciously, and the clubs played right and left. The end of the encounter was the death of most of the rodents. the bodies of which were cast back into the sewers that had been their abode.
 The police say 1t was one of the most thrilling experiences they ever had. Roll call was delayed until the rats, which barred entrance to the station house, had been swept away.

Triumphs of Modern Surgery.

~
Wonderful things are done for
the human body by surgery. Or
gans are taken out and scraped
and put back, or they may be re-
moved entirely; bones are spliced ;
pipes take the place of diseased
sections of veins; antiseptic dress
ings are applied to wounds,
bruises, burns and like injuries be-
fore inflammation sets in, which
causes them to heal without mat
uration and in one-third the time
required by the old treatment.
Chamberlain s Pain Balm acts on
this same principle. 1t is an an
tiseptic and when applied to such
injuries, causes them to heal very
quickly. 1t also alleys the pain
and soreness. Keep a bottle OF
Pain Balm in your home and it
will save you time and money, not
to mention the inconvenience and
differing which such injuries en-
tail. For sale by Hill Brothers.
