CHAPTER XVIII.
SURRENDER.

The fever that followed the serious
wounds received by Maj. Lounsberry
was in itself sufficient to end the earth
ly career of even stronger man. Two
days after Benton found him that fever
was gone, but SO WIS the last atom of
his strength. Those two days he tossed
in delirium, watched by one unhappy,
but devoted girl and that faithful old
nanny, and visited at such intervals
as her own failing strength would per-
nit by his heartbroken mother Word
Of his peril reached Charlottesville
soon after the sharp fight at Smokers
Gap. Early's retreating force had
striven to bring him along, but, be-
tween the torment caused him by the
jolting of the ambulance and the per-
sistent attacks Of union cavalry, they
had had to leave him by the way. Mrs
Lounsberry and the venerable rector
of tn cir church started within six hours
of the receipt of the news, by which
time all Charlottesville had heard of it,
and almost the first to come to the
stricken mother was the girl her son
had wronged. A strange meeting was
that and stranger still was one but
half an hour later when Rosalie Chill
ton appeared, and two Virginia girls
who had not exchanged word since
the first days of the war, and neither
of whom had been visitor at the
Lounsberrys' for many a moon, buried
their differences with that sorrow
laden mother, and set their own quar-

but rather ruefully was he realizing
that he would have to take back anoth-
er order, dismissing summarily most
gallant young regular, and Stanton
hated to take back anything, right or
wrong. However, he refused to order
Benton to Washington, saying that
battle was imminent, that Sheridan
needed every man of his staff, and
meekly the president succumbed till the
fight was Overland then it was Sheri-
dan, not Stanton, who sent in our aide
de-camp, with hearty praise for his
pluck and shot through the shoulder.
Winchester settled the matter for good
and all. The president shook the other
hand OF the tall. bearded Badger and
offered him two weeks leave and a
chance to go home until his arm was
out Of the sling. Benton begged in
stead for chance to see Chiffon, and
the charges against him, and that very
day drove Stanton to the verge of ap-
ploplexy, for when shown the fatal
notebook he said he knew it we'll and
could swear it was all the work OF
