Your attitude in this, your countrys hour
of trial. neither can l bring myself to be
taying your hiding place. Yet there Is
here Il most persistent person who claims
to be an old friend of my poor Philippe,
and TO have been later employed by that
crack Drained Edouard. He declares he
met and knew you in Washington and
that he has need to see you personally and
at once. He declares that he was recent
ly at Manassas and heard from several
sources that you had drugged a sentry
and procured the escape of prisoner.
He says that while proofs against you
plete, and they are now preparing search
expeditions to be conducted In most sYs-
tematc fashion. ! give you all this for
what il is worth. If true, you have not a
moment to lose in making your escape. AS
duty demands | shall remain here to take
care of your poor children"
Chalmers set his fine white teeth. "She's
right In one thing, Ingra ham," said he.
Weak / am We must get out OF tins.
Now. perhaps YOU see how l came to be
thrown with young Premier, and he with
that blackguard Blunt"
That night they lifted Chalmers into
saddle Rex riding the spirited bay, Chal-
mers the more quiet animal A hand
some reward was that he left in the hands
of BurtOn's better and wiser half. for the
Yirginian would not take cent. Then,
in the darkness and silence of the win
try woods. with leading rein from Chal-
mers' bit, Rex turned his chargers head
southwestward, took the plank road for
ten minutes, then plunged boldly into the
southwark cOpSe.
Two hours before dawn they stopped at
farm house whose startled occupants
gave eager welcome at sound of Chalmers
voice Here they fed their horses, had
hot coffee and. with a understanding
darby for a guide, pushed on again, and
were in hiding in the woods on the south
bank of the Rappahannock. with Fred
ericksburg far behind them, before the
red eye Of the morning burst through the
veil of mist and proclaimed the coming of
another and, they hoped. better day.

CHAPTER XVIII.
In Perilous Paths.

The dark November days had come; the
chill fog blew inland from the broad
reaches of the lower Potomac and hung
over MANY a silent pool along the Kappa
hammock.
A winter of stern preparation had opened
upon the rival armies of the north ana
south Each had found the other far more
formidabl than either had at hrst beleVed'

no forward move upon the southern stfohs-
hold at Manassas Junction. Beauresd!d'
with a victorious and enthusiastic people
at his back knew far too much of northern
tenacity to loose his war dogs on the WORKS
in front of Washington. 1t was the opening
of the first winter of the four years war,
and In the east. at least the south seemed
having much the best of it.
In spite of its immense garrison, the ma
tional capital could be reached, reinforced.

way and through most disloyal city. The
southern flag Haunted in full view of the
national Congress The southern guns had
wrecked the canal and the railway bridges
along the Potomac to the west and now
swept it's seaward channel their dull boom
ing shaking the southwark windows of
Mount Vernon. Mirth and music, joy and
triumph reigned in the old Virginia cities.
Richmond was bithe and gay as Paris. In
Petersburg, Lynchburg, Lexington, Char
lottesville Norfolk, even Fredericksburg, so
perilously near the Potomac, the sounds of
social gayety and the merry dance were
heard in many an old colonial homestead
But in the midst of all the jubilee and
triumph in the old Spottsylvania town there
had come sudden word to one little house
hold that turned merriment to mourning.
Late one October evening a messenger had
ridden into the open gateway of an antique
one-storied, red brick house. surrounded by
it's white colonnaded portico, and, dis
mounting, gave to the gray-haired negro
butler a note addressed to Nine. Premier.
