Is being made on Sheriff Payne to in
duce him to acquiesce to the with
drawal of the troops from Hanging
Rock. So far he has refused. The
strikers are standing on their pledge
of peace and pleading for the with
drawal. The business men of Ironton
request the withdrawal OF troops.
Colonel Thompson has signified a
favorable opinion to the adjutant gen.
eral. Sheriff Payne wants the troops
held until Wednesday or Thursday.
1t appears likely that he will gain his
point. II the sheriff remains firm
against withdrawal more troops will
probably come. Secretary Bishop OF

Benton. The rest of us will ride ahead
after Gen. Mcdowell"
In no time at all Fred was hurrying
round to the front, but already the
general and the few staff officers and
orderlies with him had disappeared in
the eastward darkness, riding at spank

only a captain and one trooper-a
captain who gave shout of joy and
relief when he heard Benton's glad
hail and caught a glimpse of his face.

coldly now, for the sudden question

Pardon me, sub, if l seem over
pleased. I have no reason to rejoice.

Jeb Stuart, sub, who is his second
cousin, and it is hard to say which is

not a northern bullet that did the bust

thinking more and more of the face he
had seen at the window.

unable to account for her strange dis

He drove away, with all speed toward

outer pocket, so as to be able to
promptly show his credentials to any
sentries or patrols, and Benton was
trying, half an hour later, to satisfac-
torily account for what he had heard
and thought he had seen that day,
when Carver came for him to say his
horse was dead lame. He had been
directed to remain behind and to see
the last detachments across the Run,
then to rejoin the chief as soon as he
had found Benton. This, therefore.
