CHAPTER XIX.
The Discontinue of Sir John.

lie OIScOmHtufe OF Sir JOlln.
Sir John looked from one to the
other of the two sisters. His face
darkened.
MY arrival appears to be oppor-
tune" he said stiff1y IT was hoping
to be able to secure a few minutes
conversation with you. Miss Pellissier.
Perhaps my wife has already pre-
pared you for what wish to say
Not in the least" Anna answered
calmly I'VE have scarcely mentioned
your name"
Sir John coughed. He looked at
Annabel. whose face was buried in
her hands-he looked back at Anna,
who was regarding him with an easy
composure which secretly irritated
him.
"It is concerning-our future rela-
tions." Sir John pronounced ponder
ously.
"Indeed!' Anna answered indiffer-
emily. THAT sounds interesting"
Sir John frowned. Anna was un-
impressed. Elegant, little scornful,
She leaned slightly against the back
of a chair and looked him steadily in
the eyes.
'I have no wish." he said. ''to alto
gether ignore the fact that you are
my wife's sister, and have therefore
certain claim upon me-"
Annals eyes opened little wider,
but she said nothing.
"A claim" he continued, which
am quite prepared to recognize. 1t
will give me great pleasure to settle
an annuity for a moderate amount
upon YOU on certain conditions"
"A-what?" Anna asked.
IAN annuity sum of money paid
to you yearly or quarterly through
my solicitors, and which you can con-
slider as gift from your sister. The
conditions are such as 1 think you
will recognize the justice of. 1 wish
to prevent a repetition OF any such
errand as / presume you have come
here upon this evening. 1 cannot
have my wife distressed or worried"
May 1 ask" Anna said softly.
what you presume to have been the
nature of my errand here this even
ing?"
Sir John pointed to Annabel, who
was as yet utterly limp.
II cannot but conclude" he said.
''that your errand involved the recital
to my wife of some trouble in which

"It Is nothing, Mr., HILL" she declared.
"Only I cannot persuade Mr.. Brendon
and Mr.. Courtlaw here, who are great
friends of Miss Pellissier, that she Is
really married to YOU"
He looked at them with darkening
face.
IT don't know as It matters" he said
slowly. II don't know as 1t matters
either way. But I don't want to hear
anything about forgery. or there'll be
troubles If a properly stamped and wit

lieved-well, it isn't likely that any
thing 1 could say would convince
them.'

would ever induce me to believe your
story. Put it away, please. Pray don't
waste your time showing it to me-"
Il wasn't going to-" Hill declared.
What you believe, or don't believe,
wouldn't trouble me in the least. Facts
are facts, and l can prove all l say, as
you'll know before long"
The door leading into the hall stood
wide open. Hill turned suddenly to-
ward it. Brendon, even more quick in
his movements, blocked the way. Anna
had descended the stairs and was pass
ing along the passage.
Here, let me pass!" Hill exclaimed.
Sydney Joined Brendon. Every one
in the roc m regarded the three young
men with breathless Interest.
II think not" Brendon said coolly.
you have made yourself Objectionable
enough already to Miss Pellissier. Sit
down, please"
But i won't sit down. Hill declared,
fuming. What right have you to in
terfere between a man and his wife,
eh?"
"Fiddlesticks." Brendon declared
scornfully.
"Rot!" Sydney echoed.
Hill pushed forward.
'I'll show you whether it's rot or
not" he exclaimed furiously.
He found himself suddenly in the
grasp OF a giant. He was set down
gently upon a chair, and he felt as
though all the breath had been shaken
out of his body. Outside in the street
an omnibus had stopped to pick up a
passenger. GIancing over his shoulder,
Brendon saw Anna climbing briskly up
the stairs to the top.
The San Francisco call., 1904-09-18

She eyed him scornfully. In any place
her beauty would have been an uncom-
mon thing. Here, where every element
OF her surroundings was tawdrv ana
commonplace, and before this young
man OF vulgar origin and appearance,
it was striking.
IT do not know you" she said colby
Il have nothing to say to you"
He stood before the door. Brendon
made a quick movement forward. She
laid her hand upon his arm.
please don't" she said. 1T really is
not necessary. Be so good as to let me
pass. sir" she added. looking her OBJ
structor steadily in the face.
He nesitated.
This is all rot" he declared an
eriIy. You can't think that I am fool
enough 10 be put off like this"
She glanced at Brendon, who stood
by her side, tall and threatening. Her
eyebrows were lifted in expostulation.
A faint delightfully."- humorous smile
parted her lips.
son will not be reasonable. am
afraid"
1t was enough. A hand OF iron fell
upon the scowling young mans shoui-
BE so good as to stand away from
that door at once, sir" Brendon or
utIel-
Hill lost a little of his truculency.
He knew very well that his muscles
were flabby, and his nerve by no
means what it should be. He was no
match for Brendon. He yielded his
place and struck instead with his
tongue. He turned to Mrs. White.
I'm sorry, ma'am, to seem the
cause Of any disturbance. but this, he
pointed 20 Anna, lis my wife"
The sensation produced was graft
fying enough. The mans statement
was explicit, and spoken with CONT
dence. Every one looked at Anna. For
a moment she too had started and
faltered in her exit from the room.
Her fingers clutched the side of the
door as though to steady herself. She
caught her breath. and her eyes were
lit with a sudden terror. She recov-
cred herself, however, with amazing
facility. Scarcely any one noticed the
full measure Of her CONSERVATION.
From the threshold she looked her ac-
cuser steadily and coldly in the face.
What you have said is a ridiculous
falsehoOd." she declared scornfully.
Il do not even know who you are. !"
She swept out of the room. Hill
would have followed her, but Mrs.
White and Miss Ellicot laid each a
hand upon his arm, one on either side.
The echoes of his hard. unpleaSan:
laugh reached Anna on her way up
stairs.
The San Francisco call., 1904-09-18

Her cheeks burned for a moment or
two when she reached the street, al
though she held her head upright and
walked blithely, even humming TO her
self fragments Of an old French song.
And then at the street corner she came
face to face with Nigel Ennison.

is an accident. The fates are never so
kind to me. AS a matter Of fact 1 have

The Fight at Fort Stevens.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: / see an
account of the Fort Stevens affair in The
National Tribune of July IA; but, as usual,
the Veteran Reserve Corps is left out.
Now, the Corps mentioned were not Home
Guards. 1t was composed of men who had
seen hard and active service at the front:
men with arms and legs shot off; with
eyes, ears and fingers shot away; men shot
through the head and men shot in every
conceivable shape. If it had not been for
them the Sixth Corps would have found
the city of Washington in ashes when they
arrived, late in the afternoon of July II,
1864. The 10Th Veteran Reserves, of which
| was a member, and the 22d Veteran Re-
serves, were in the barracks on Capitol
Hill. We were turned out about daylight,
July II, and hurried out Seventh street.
When some distance from the city the
muzzle of a gun appeared just over ridge
in the road, and they let drive at u.s. The
gun was not over 100 yards from us; the
shell struck another ridge, about % yards
in front of us, bounded to the right, and
exploded. We filed to the left, and as we
did so some infantry appeared where the
cannon was and gave us a vOlley of mus
kerry. / have often wondered why we
were not ordered to charge that battery
think we could and would have cap
tured it. However, we went on, and were
deployed as skirmishers and held the rebels
in check until the Sixth Corps came. There
was a continual rattle of musketry and
roars of artillery all day. Several men in
our company were killed Or wounded. l

line. A hotter day l don't think was ever

earth-for everything was scorched brown
lay there, fiat on my bread-basket, as
plain as if l were in the middle of the
road. When l would pull the stopper out
of my canteen to drink, steam would puff
into my face.
A squad of rebels on the hill among the
bushes put in the most of the day in step
ping out, two or three at time, and firing
at me; but the only thing that struck me
was the sun. About 3 o'clock l was sun
struck and was carried to the rear; but
revived enough to witness the beautiful
sight, about dusk, when the Sixth Corps
arrived and cleaned the rebels up. l say
beautiful sight. They were fighting down
in a fat among jack-oak bushes, and the
flashes of muskets looked like lightning
bugs. We could see the course Of the
shell through the air. A two-story build
ing was burning, and several brass bands
were playing National airs.
l have seen three or four accounts of
the battle Of Fort Stevens since the war,
but the Veteran Reserve Corps is always
left out. l am sure they did their duty,
and probably saved the Capital. If any
