was conclusive.
Then l CO." she said, "but how?"
Il shall prepare way" said Holbin.
But when he was gone Louise, free
from the influence of his personality,
began to feel all her suspicion and dis
trust returning. She reviewed calmly
but bitterly his life with her; it had
been succession OF receptions and ut
terly selfish. She asked herself over
and over what recourse would she
have If he should slip away and leave
her in Richmond, and gradually, as she
considered his manner, she became
convinced that he intended nothing
, more or less so far as she was con-
cerned. The spirit which had sustained
her during the past year returned,
and she felt herself full of fight. Ex-
perience had given her better control
, OF her nerves; her life, when away
from Holbin, carried more masculine
note; most women who go to school in
Washington acquire it. She had come
to Richmond with the full intention of
seeing Mrs. Broolxin, forcing a settle
ment of her claims upon Raymond, and
securing her child. OF success as to
the latter she felt assured; the other
was doubtful. In the hour after her
last interview with Raymond it came
to her as an inspiration that she now
had weapon in her hand that would
beat down any guard, pierce any ar
NOR; for he had admitted his connec-
ton with the enemy and had gigantic
enterprise afoot. She had but 10 insist
upon settlement in advance and to
threaten; but the pressure upon Ray
mond should come from his mother.
She therefore determined to carry out
her original intention, call on that
lady, and have plain talk. Her sur.
prise was complete when at the mo-
ment that decision was reached the
card of Mrs. Broolin was brought to
her room-complete because not only
was the visit Of this lady most as
touishing thing, but upon that card
was sign for which she was instruct
ed to look in every instance-two peri
DDS following the name. The meaning
Of the two periods was that the visitor
had a message to be sent by word OF
mouth only and that she might be
trusted
BY what means the visitor knew of
her Louise was not informed; but she
had been given a name and directed to
register under it, and she readily
guessed. She at once said, after the
formal greetings were over:
81 perceive, madam, that your
mourning has reached the second pc

close and made a statement, carefully
worded, of considerab bic length, and

Holbin had heard of Frances latest
within, the union soldier. He had not
interested himself in the latter's well
fare, but he made his appearances in
the wingroom on the day after Louise
had been pacified, and, finding only
nanny there with the wounded man,
he entered and engaged him in cheer
full conversation. He gave him the
latest news from the front, and sup
piled him with cigars. Responding to
these attentions, the soldier readily
told his story. When the name of Rich
ard Somers, his former enemy, was
reached, Hol0in was visibly excited.
Still, not for one instant did it occur
to him to connect the presence of the
wounded man in that room with the
fact that Somers was his captain; and
the soldier himself naturally took it
for granted that the cause of his pres
ence was well understood by all.
Frances found Holbin there, and
stood silently resentful upon the
threshold until he had explained his
visit.

partment." he said, chat you had

Holbin returned next day and gave
q vivid account of his parting with
the happy prisoner; and then he Inn
mediately sought his own room; but
not before Frances, little ashamed
Of herself, had thanked him warmi,

Upon the same day the confederate

and dead men in June, 1867, were
plentiful around Richmond. The only
part of the mystery worth consider
ing from the military standpoint we
how the man got through the lines . q
that particular place, 4 watch tal,cn
from hts body contained the names OF
Capt. Richard Somers and the regi-
ment to which he WAS attached, and
also the likeness OF an elderly wom-
an. IL was surmised that the victim
OF the pistol shot was n descrter and
robber; that he had been captured
and killed while attempting violence
or an escape. The officer into WHORE
possession the watch drifted was in
charge OF a blrial party next day un-
der flag Of truce, and, learning that
Capt. SomerS was among the troopa
opposite, sent the watch TO him with
a courteous explanation. The graft
ticatiou OF Capt. SomerS was only
equaled by hts hcwlderment. Many
weeks before he had intrusted the
jewel TO his faith ful artillcryman, and
this soldier, he had been assured, was
eft dead upon the bloody battlefield.
His conclusion was that some one had
robbed the body AT that time and
had been overtalIen by fate while en-
gagged in some other nefarious enter
prise. But when Capt. Somers cas-
ually opened the locket and found
therein long, slender curl of red
dish-golden hair and on the narrow
ribbon with which 1t was tied the
name Frances" he was involved In
hopeless mystery. He was within
sound of the Richmond church bells
that morning, and between the inter
walls of fighting and moving to new
positions he had already in imagina-
ton entered that city. The name
thus sent was the only tidings OF
Frances he had ever received, and IL
made him sadly happy man.

celled Mrs. Broolxin in the tender
ness with which she treated the now

Louise sat looking into the benevo-
lent face of the older woman, with
fearful eyes, her heart overfowed
with gratitude.

~Where is she?''
Near the city, but just now be-
yond the lines. You will be directed
how to reach her when you get

join you, and together you will find

Louise went back to the hotel al
most content.
