There had been time when he fully intended that, not so much for what she had said in her wrath as for what she must have believed of him, this proud, imperious, wilful girl should be made to feel that he, too, could rebuke, but at sight of her and the weariness and Iassitude with which she, moved. all this seemed vanished into the air. All that he now saw-heard-felt- knew-was that it was she, Rosalie, who, only half dozen. rods away. lovely as ever in her dark beauty, yet pathetica1Iy changed, had thrown one arm about that scrawny, grizzled, equine neck, and stood softly stroking the lean old head, softly murmuring to the unheeding ear and nestling the warm velvet of her cheek upon that unre- sponsive jowl-all that sweetness thrown away upon superannuated steed that, ignoring sweets incompar- able. nuzzled about her rounded neck and arms in quest of lump sugar, long since forgotten luxury. Rosalie's back was toward the intruder in blue, as, no longer hesitant, he went strid- ing under the trees until almost with in arms length of her, Pyramus, the while, regarding him with mute and placid curiosity. with neither hope nor fear. And here the soldier stood and looked on hungrily a moment at price less caresses, for any touch of which he could almost sell his soul, and lis- tening to low, murmurous words of tenderness and affection that, lavished on him, would have turned grief or suf- fering to instant ecstasy. The sight thrilled him. even while it fired his soul with envious greed. And then and then came further murmured words, at sound of which his heart stormed at its heaying bars, and fairly leaped in mad delight and passionate. rejoiceful love. Gracious heaven, could he believe his senses!
 Dear old fellow-dear old fellow! Did anybody think I'd let him be sold to strangers, after all he'd done for me and mine? Good old Pyrsmus! Good old boy!' And all this with pet ting, batting hands, with that soft cheek still nestled against the long, brown, bony muzzle. He'd do it all over again, wouldn't he? He'd bring him back back to me-if only-I hadn' 't-'' And then both white arms were clasped about that preposterous

The trees and shruhbery were ringing with 8 riot of melody as Benton softl, closed the gate behind him and stooe a moment, waiting for his heart tt cease the violence of its throbbing Blue birds, wrens and orioles wer, piping in final frolic before the close o day. The hedge rows and the loft, boughs alike seemed thrilling with If, and ecstasy and song. Only the olt white mansion was still. The broac doorway to the lower hall stood invit ingly open. An easy chair, cushioned stood eloss beside 1t, and other chairs, with footstoo1 or hassock, an old gray travelling shawl and book or twt were scattered about. A venerabl horse, wheezy and sedate, was croppin' the grass and switching at gnats unde the biossoming fruit trees on the south ward side. The 1ocusts dropped over the old fence along the cross street where that feathered, drab felt ha. first caught Benton's weary eyes. Blu on this lovely, breathiess evening n, Auman form appeared, no human voic was heard in concert with the vespe. hymn of the myriad songsters of the sir. Purposely had Benton given nc aint of his coming. Indeed, to whom should he send word? Why should he 5end to any one? Why, indeed, should he have come at all?
 Three years before, this very month, he had escaped in the darkness of mid night from these surroundings, and it was Rosalie who pointed the way. Two years before, this very month, she had driven him forth from her presence, or turned from him in a fury of disdain, with insult on her lips, with wrath and contempt fE her flashing eyes Surely, encouragement he had none, yet, the moment military duty would permit, here again he stood. the knight, the champion, the lover she had spurned. and never again even by faintest sign had summoned.
 He wished her not to know of his coming. Men who deeply love ane deeply long for answering symptor throw to the winds their every chance in coming heralded, for the fondest Wo man, given time and warning, is [ consummate dissembler. The waEmes.

neck, and the dark tresses of the gjr Were bowed against and mingled witt the grizzled, tangled mane of her one confdant. The lovely face was hidden from the worshipping eyes of blue, but only for an instant. In daring and de- light and overmastering love, with cau- tion thrown to the winds, and pride and resolution totally forgotten, Ben ton sprang forward, one low cry of ssRosalie" on his lips; seized; tore loose the clasp of the clinging arms, and, despite amaze and struggle and breathless protest, just as on that won- drous night at the old stone house, he strained the slender, panting, swaying form to his breast; and just as he did not then do, rained kiss after kiss on the velvet of that flushed, tear-wet, astonished cheek; yes, dared even in his strength and glory and delight to turn the now furiously resisting head upon his breast until the wild, dilated eyes were staring into his; until the rosy, panting mouth was so close to his Quivering lips that denial seemed utterly in vain; then down he swooped upon the prize. But with one superb, supreme effort, she tore herself from his embrace; stood one instant, pant ing, speechless, with hands uplifted against him, waving him back; with eyes that flashed and commanded and refused to melt even at sight of the passion and pleading and bewilder- ment in his face.

 "Heard!' and up went the hands in impotent wrath and protest. How dare you-listen? Oh! Don't know what" but then the torrent of her words was stemmed by the sight of the changing light in the deep blue eyes. and all in a second she saw them cloud ing again as in pain and amaze they had clouded the bitter night of her

 surprise as completely as Gordon's fel
 lows had amazed the men of the Eightl corps that dark dawn under the shad ows of old Massanutten, and only te
 Winston at Richmond had he spoker
 of the possibility of his stopping over
 8 day at Charlottesville. Half g
 dozen girls, however, knew of the
 presence of the invader before Rosali
 Chiffon, but none learned it in just such a way.
 A few minutes Benton, stood there in silent reconnaissance He might have seized the old-fashioned brass knocker
 at the door and brought somebody in
 answer to the summons, but that would
 have spoiled the surprise. He be- thought him of that old arbor in the garden. and wondered if he could pass
 the windows and the kitchen without attracting notice. Then, looking about him, and drawing closer to the shelter of the vine-shaded portico, he saw that the placidly grazing horse had uplifted his venerable head, and, with ears on end, was regarding, evidently,
 some approaching object; then, with
 low and welcoming whitney, moved slowly through the fruit trees as though to meet some one still beyond the field of the soldiers vision. Then 1t was that Benton for the first time realized that this was old Pyramus, the horse that three years before had safely borne him through the woods and by-roads to the mountain cabin, thence on to the gaps of the Blue
 ridge, on from Rivanna to the Rapidan, and again to Bucklands and the final rescue north of Bristoe, only to be turned loose and abandoned to the pur-
 suing gray-coats when poor Hector sank exhausted, crippled, and begging
 not to be left to the vengeance of the foe. Pelham's friends must have re-
 stored the old horse to his owners, yet now the veteran was being made at
 home here at the Chiltons'. How
 came that?
