at the thought of presenting himself

at the thought of presenting himself
before her after what had occurred.
Why had she braved this trip to the
city, unless she was learning to love
him-unless something within her
heart refused to believe him the guilty
wretch Belle Stevens declared, until
she had seen his duplicity with her
own eyes.
This being the case, John was not
half so indignant over the contempt
BILE fraud that had been used to draw
him to the place as he might have
been could he discover no benefit to
his own cause in the matter.
Belle Stevens had planned we'll
the gold of Major Worden had aroused
her latent energies, If such a thing
were necessary, considering how she
hated his successful rival.
She believed the game was in her
hands, and that John could never ex.
plain away the circumstances which
now clouded his name in the estima-
alton of the woman he was fast learn
ing to adore.
But Belle Stevens was yet to learn
that sometimes engineers are des-
troyed by the very power they are
supposed to bring into existence-in
other words, ''hoist by their own pc
tard."
Colonel John had made up his mind
that since he could learn nothing
more to his advantage under this roof,
he had better be moving.
His main thought was to overtake
Noble on the road IL possible, and es-
cort her in safety to Lyndhurst.
Perhaps she might be too indignant
to speak to him-never mind, he could
carry out his plan, protect her on the
way, and leave explanations to more
convenient season.
Turning to his aunt he babe her
farewell.
II will see you again il you remain
In the city, Aunt Sarah, and anything
/ may be able to do for you do not
hesitate to speak of It,"
"John, you humiliate me more and
more. Then you forgive my share In
this vile plot?" she asked, with tears
in her eyes.
Freely and fully" he replied.
AS he started for the door he en-
countered the vindictive woman who
had plotted so desperately for his
overthrow.
One glance into his face revealed to
her the fact that he knew all.
She ground her teeth In rage.
"You have escaped me again, John
Ridgeway, but don't flatter yourself
this is the end. shall live to see You
suffer worse than have endured"
she said, bitterly.

The Man on the Steps.

They were going to the matinee.
She was up in her boudoir putting on
finishing touches and he was sitting
in patiently on the front steps.
George" she called down sweetly.
"just one minute more until find my
gloves"
Fifteen minutes passed.
George" came from above, wait
another second I've lost my pin"
Twenty minutes slipped by.

One moment. A button just jumped

Long silence. Then George calls

you are a foolish woman, Belle.
Why not forget the past and live only
in the present. There is enough work
for patriotic daughters of the South
to do without brooding over their own
private imaginary injuries. l wish you
no i'll, but remember. the next time
you endeavor TO come between Mollie
Granger and myself l may not be so
forgiving."
She was not at all cowed.
II will never cease to be a thorn In
your side," she Kissed, venomously.
Il hope we will never meet again,
Belle" he said, as he passed from the
house.
Nor did they.
This desperate woman, who did not
hesitate to risk her life for the lost
cause, was given a dangerous mission
few days later.
She was never heard OF again.
No one knew what became of her,
but the last seen OF her was near a
great dismal swamp which in avoid
ing the camp of the enemy, she may
have attempted to pass through, only
to get lost and miserably perish.
With all her faults, and they were
many, she at least loved her country
more than her own life, which she
freely gave as sacrifice in the en-
deavor to assist the rapidly waning
star of the sinking Confederacy.
Knowing her vindictive nature from
past experience, Colonel John would
from time to time feel considerable UNI
easiness whenever his mind reverted
to the female spy.
When he stepped out OF the house
he found the faithful sergeant by the
door.
ITO the horses, sergeant" was the
order.
These had been left not far away.
Mollie and her attendant dusky
guard would have had possibly ten
minutes start.
Still, they could probably overtake
the Granger vehicle before It had
traversed more than half of the road
leading to Lyndhurst.
The squire had once been proud OF
his housekeeping horses.
This was early in the war.
The needs of the Confederate cav
airy service had caused many levy
to be made-indeed, drag-net had
been used to scrape in every decent
animal in the South.
So the squire's fine carriage-horses
had long since been offered on the
altar of patriotism and for the last
year or so he had been content to plod
along behind couple of antiquated
animals that filed his breast with
scorn.

Reports from Sweden that a league
has been formed there for the pur-
pose of restraining extravaganza in
woman's dress have an Elizabethan
ring about them. In 1850 "the prin-
cipal citizens of London were become
so extravagant in their dress that it
was thought necessary to restrain
the same, and the result was a
proclamation issued by her majesty
against excuses of apparel, gold
chains and cloaks, the latter of which
were made so long that they reached
down to the heels"

From these reflections Co onel JONI
was suddenly aroused--he surely
heard a cry in the darkness beyond,
cry that sounded very like shout
for help In female voice.
His blood seemed on fire at the
thought of his worst fears being con
firmed, and Mollie, his wife, being at
the mercy of the rascals who, serving
under neither flag. pillaged the dis
tracted country.
They have been attacked" were
the words he uttered. as he spurred
his horse forward.

In the little village of Elliehausen,
near Gottingen, Germany, there has
been almost revolution owing to
the publication of an order forbidding
any young unmarried man to escort
a young woman home after dark.
This order was the work of the dep
uty town clerk, who is not a ladies'
man, and had been made the butt for
ill-natured jokes. He thought he
saw an opportunity for revenge when
the reins of power came temporarily
into his hands. But his action has
cost him his place.

Colonel John knew all his.


He was not apprehensive, therefore,
with regard to the vehicle reaching
Lyndhurst before them, with only ten
minutes start.
Once mounted, they galloped along
Peach Tree avenue heading for the
outskirts.
The border of the city was reached.
Beyond lay the road leading to Lynd-
hurst.
All was peaceful around them, and
yet mighty army lay sleeping in and
about Atlanta-the army destined to
carry terror and dismay while march.
ing through Georgia.
Far away on the distant hills could
be seen twinkling camp-fires Of an
other host.
Johnston and his heroes In gray,
watching and waiting for chance to
pounce upon the Federals at some
time when they could be caught nap
ping.
Several times the colonel turned in
his saddle and swept his eyes over the
spectacle.
Once, when they were halted by an
outlying picket the colonel drew in
his horse, and after giving the coun-
tersign, leaned over to ask IL vehicle
had gone on before them.
The soldier replied in the afirma-
tive, and his description Of the outfit,
given in a few sentences, tailed ex-
actly with the squire's rig.
Satisfied that the one in whom he
had so great an interest must be just
a short distance ahead, Colonel John
spurred on.
There was long stretch of road
between this last picket post and
Lyndhurst, that was practically I'M
guarded.
This was the region Colonel John
had his fears about, concerning the
safety of his wife.
Rowing bands OF guerrillas could
easily pierce the outer line OF the Fed
erals, and doubtless came within reach
OF the buildings his men were engaged
to protect, many times.
AS yet they had heard no signs OF
the vehicle ahead, but the picket had
assured them it was not far away.
After all, this might be something
Of quixotlc errand on his part. but
he saw his duty plainly before him
and would not shrink no matter II his
presence was not needed.
AS he galloped on he endeavored
to map out In his mind some course
which he had better pursue on the
morrow, when he found himself in the
presence of Mollie.
All he desired was to set himself
straight IN her eyes.
