CHAPTER TX.

~ N the gray wreathed dawn Lord
Dunmore, at the head Of his
Virginia troops, marched of
~ with fife and drum for Fort
Pitt, and the buff and scarlet passed
the Kings Arms, where Anne peered
from the window to see them off. In
one of the scarlet groups she distin-
guished Francis Byrd. Drawing the
curtains close under her chin, she put
out hand and waved to him, smiling,
and he saluted her face with flash Of
his sword and wistful look as he rode
by. Immediately behind the governor,
near Jarrat, rode Foy, and a sting of re-
sentiment made her clinch her hands,
with the steel in her eyes.
When they had gone she crept back
into the warm bed and lay smilingly
thinking. She should see Armand soon
again, and he should never know what
she had done. So thinking, she drop
ped to sleep and did not wake till the
sun was high.
She breakfasted with gay spirits, in
sisted on riding horseback and, followed
by John the Baptist, .galloped off half
hour in advance of her aunt's chariot
along the way to Greenway Court.
She entered. No one was in the hall,
and her feet fell noiselessly in the thick
buffalo robe on the floor.
She pushed open the door of the liv-
ing room and then stopped, startled.
She saw a settle strewn with skins, a
wave of curling brown hair pillowed on
1t, and under this glimpse of a pale
face turned away. There was shaded
window opposite, and light came
through it Whitley. A hand and wrist
hung over to the floor. There was some
thing desolate in the silence, something
appealing in the droop of that hand
that brought smart to Anne's eyes as
she looked.
Suddenly she caught her breath and
took quick steps forward into the room,
gazing searchingly at the figure on the
couch-the strong hair, setting all the
paleness of the face in a shadow
frame; the blue circles under the closed
lids, the young mouth, the upward
sweep of the rounded chin. She began
to tremble exceedingly, her lips I'M
steady, her great blue eyes misting, her
whole face caught in quaking terror.
She had gone whittier than moon flow
er.
"They were too later she whispered.
"You fought, then? All, while was
30 glad!"
She crouched down by the settle, her
hand pressed tight against her heart,
full Of a joyful anguish she had never
known Something she had fought
down hitherto rose in her throat and
choked her at sight Of this hurt, this
helplessness.
At last, yielding all at once, with a
little sob and gesture of pride and
longing and surrender, she bent slowly,
like a swaying lily, and kissed him on
the forehead.
He stirred and opened his eyes with
wonder in them to see her face so near.
"Mademoiselle!
"You have been woundedw she
breathed.
He tried to rise and, failing, smiled
at her. ''It is little thing. The doc

"You make light of it"
He lifted himself on one elbow and
stretched out an uncertain hand to-
ward her. "Mademoiselle," he said,

"You kissed me?' Joy was in his
look.
"No."
"Ah, mademoiselle" He fell back on
the skins.
With suddenly rosying cheeks she ran
toward the door to meet the old baron
entering from the~hall.
There was at last a long November
week while Anne was at Winchester
and when she and Armand, his wound
healed, rode together along the valley
ways. The young Frenchman still re
manned a guest, for the baron would
hear no word Of departure. He swore
he should not leave him till the season
opened again at Williamsburg.
The day before their return to Glad

WINDING ITS AFFAIRS UP.
Dawes Commissioners Are Rushing
Matters to a Finish.

Ardmore, I. r., July 14.-1'he Dawes
commission is entering upon the last
year of it's existence and the commits
sioners are rushing matters as iast
as possible. It is thought by the time
the commission expires July I 1905,

that complications win arise after he

so thoroughly established, and the all

would have little room for entangle-
ment. However, it is said that in

Cumberland, Nd, July 14-Ex-sen-
ator Henry G. Davis, of West Virgin.

for the vice presidency, built the

dedicated. He was also instrumental
in the erection Of the Davis Mo-iorial
Presby yterian church in Elkirs.
Mr. Davis is known as The Father
of the West Virginia Central Develop
ment." Since the sale Of that road
he has given his undivided attention
to the building Of the Coal and Coke
railroad, a corporation capitalized at
10000, 900. the work of which has
been pushed without the protector
borrowing a cent or floating a bond.
He is also at the head of the Davis
Colliery company, formerly the Junior
Coal company which operates an ex.
tensive area, with coke ovens in the
Roaring Creek section of West Vir-
glnia, and which will be trayersed by
the Coal and Coke railroad.
Recently the Coal and Coke roads
began to run trains out of Ell1ins to a
point 25 miles south, the road having
been completed that far. It will be a
year before the line is entirely com.
pleted. It cuts West Virginia in half
from north to south. and will place
Charleston, the capital of the state,
100 miles nearer Baltimore and Wash
inston by rail. It will also greatly
shorten the route from the east to the
Ohio river. The line will connect
with the West Virginia Central In

the latter point. The road will be a
