A Grim Alternative.

Not n word was said as they
tramped along the road. Johns curl
osity had been aroused. however. and
he wondered whether his confession
rs to being bachelor would have
any bearing one way or another upon
his possible fate as spy.
The growl OF heavy guns could be
heard in the distance. telling that
Sherman's grip was hourly growing
more tenacious. and the time close Mt
hand when the Gate City must sur
render to superior force.
These sounds were unpleasant music
in the ears OF those whose sympathies
rested with the distressed Southland.
and II promised to be an unfortunate
time for any Federal whom the for
tune OF war might throw into their
grasp.
Lyndhurst-the name was familiar
to John. and he remembered that In
the days of his youth the Grangers
lived there. Perhaps officers were
quartered there. for the squire had
always been a most ardent patriot,
and no doubt from his vast resources
had contributed much TO help ON the
cause OF the Confederacy.

near Atlanta. Its peculiar position
had thus far saved the historic old
mansion with its delightful grounds

enemy, but once the city fell into the
hands of the conquering Federals.

showing that the mansion was far
from being deserted. Straight up to
the door they led the prisoner. and
presently John found himself locked
in room. Voices in earnest conver-

entered.
1t was man of about fifty whom
John faced, man with most de-

City Policeman Greatly Astonished
His SUPERIOR Officer.

Officer Martin. who had been on the
force for six months or more, was diff
ferent in some respects from many OF
his fellow policemen. He never went
In saloon, never swore, never idled
and never shirked. He was also un-
communicative, and a suspicion that
all was not right and that he had
something to conceal was aroused.
The chief called him into his private
Office one morning.
"Oflcer Martini" he said, 80 far as
l know, you are one OF the best men
on the payroll. but there are rumors
that you are not altogether what you
seem to be. and that there is a chapter
In your life that none OF us knows
anything about"

policeman. somewhat surprised, but
not abashed.

"Yes, SIR
Would you mind telling me what
1t Is In confidence?"
Not at all, SIR" said Oficer Martin.

OF course the door was fast-he

the desired ingress.
There was something repugnant
about this mode OF entrance. but dur

were soldiers met with so many
strange adventures that these feelings
had TO be stifed to a greater or less

At length he stood in the room that
seemed TO be his goal. Here was the
wide.throated chimney, the generous
hearth with It's old.fashioned andirons.
In front of a roaring fire how many
times in the long ago had he sat with
his boy companions. cracking nuts
and chatterlng like lot OF magpies,
or listening to grandfather's weird
stories OF early life in the South.
