cried Dunwoodie.

exclaimed the surgeon, as he quickened
his pace, and FASTENED to the side of the
bed; he Is alive, though"
The group around the bed of Captain
Singleton were accustomed to the manner
or their surgeons. They quietly awaited
the moment when he was to commence his
examination. This now took place. and
Dunwoodie stood looking the operator in
the face, with an expression that seemed
to read his soul. The patient shrank
from the application of the probe. The
surgeon applied himself in earnest to his
work. all this time Dunwoodie stood in
feverish silence, holding one of the hands
OF the sufferer in both his own, watching
the countenance of DIR. Sitgreaves. At
length Singleton gave slight groan, and
the surgeo" rose with alacrity.

'Dunwoodie for moment Joined the
family. His face was no longer wanting
IN smiles, and his salutations, though
hasty, were cordial. He took no notice
of the escape and recapture Of Henry
Wharton. On the ground they had not
met. The English officer withdrew in
naughty silence to a window.
The excitement produced by the events
Of the day in the youthful feelings of
the sisters had been succeeded by a Ian
guor that kept them both silent, and Dun

ton.

your friend can survive his woundr said
the lady, advancing toward her kiilsman,
with smile Of benevolent regard.
Everything, my dear madam. every
thing" answered the soldier cheerfully.
"Sitg"eaves says he will live"
Your pleasure is not much greater
than my own. One so dear to Major
Dunwoodie cannot fail to excite an inter

These are offices for a sister or q

"A sister" repeated the soldier, the
blood rushing to his own face tumultu-
ously; "a sister he has a sister; and one
that might be here with to-morrow's sun"
He paused, mused in silence, glanced his
eyes uneasily at Frances, and muttered
in an undertone: Singleton requires it,
and it must be done"
The ladies had watched his varying
countenance in some surprise, and Miss
Peyton now observed that:
"If there were a sister Of Captain Sin
gleton near them, her presence would be
gladly requested both by herself and
nieces."
1T must be, madam it cannot well be

hesitation that but i'll agreed with his for

CHAPTER VII.

The last sounds of the combat died on
The ears Of the anxious listeners in the
cottage, and were succeeded by the still
hess Of suspense. Frances had continued
by herself, striving to exclude the uproar,
and vainly endeavoring to summon resolu-
lion to meet the dreaded result. After
witnessing the escape of his son, Mr..
Wharton had Joined his sister and eldest
daughter in their retreat, and the three
continued fearfully waiting for news from
The field. Unable longer to remain under
The painful uncertainty of her situation,
Frances soon added herself to the uneasy
group, and Caesar was directed to exam

report. The father now briefly related

stance of their brothers escape. They

when the door opened and Captain Whar-

and followed by the black, stood before
them.

agitated parent, stretching out his arms !;

"Docsn't it suggest something to you,

The distance in the manner Of the Eng

for my liberty; but the peryerse spirit Of
rebellion has even lighted on their horses.
The steed carried me into the very center
Of Dunwoodie's men,"
And you were again captured" contin-
ued the father, casting a fearful glance
on the armed attendants.
"That, sir, you may safely say; this
Mr.. Lawton, who sees so far, had me
In custody again Immediately"
Frances had stood supporting herself
by the back of chair, catching in breath
less anxiety every syllable as it was ut
tered; her color changed rapidly; her
limbs shook under her, until, with desper-
ate resolution, she inquired:
"Is any officer hurt on-the-on either
side?"
YES" answered the man, cavalierly,
"these southern youths are full of mettle !;
one OF the wounded told me that Ca plain
Singleton was killed and Major Dunwoo-
die"
Frances heard no more, but fell life
less in the chair behind her. The atten-
ton of her friends soon revived her, when
the captain, turning to the man, said,
fearfully:
Surely Major Dunwoodie is unhurt ~
"Nexer fear him." added the guide, dis
regarding the agitation of the family
''they say a man who is born TO be hang
ed will never be drowned; If bullet
could kill the major, he would have been
dead long ago. ! was going to say that
the major is in a sad taking because of
the captains being killed: but had
known how much store the lady set by
him, wouldn't have been SO plain spok
, en-"
Frances now rose quickly from her seat
with checks glowing with confusion, and,
leaning on her aunt, was about to retire,
when Dunwoodie himself appeared. The
first emotion Of the agitated girl was un-
alloyed happiness; in the next instant
she shrank back appalled, from the un-
usual expression that reigned in his coun-
tenance. The sternness of battle yet sat
on his brow; his eye was fixed and Sc
we're.
Mr.. Wharton" he earnestly began, Sin
times like these, we need not stand on
Idle ceremony one of my officers, l am
afraid, Is hurt mortally, and, presuming
on your hospitality, have brought him

Ing the Importance of conciliating the
American troops.
Sir, / thank you. If you please, we
will have him conducted where the sur
geon may see and report upon his case,
without delay" To this there could be
no objection; and Frances felt chill at
her heart, as her lover withdrew, without
casting solitary look on herself.
Captain Wharton voluntarily gave a
pledge to his keepers not to attempt again
escaping, and then proceeded 10 execute
those duties, on behalf of his father
which were thought necessary in host
On entering the passage for that pur
pose, he met the operator who had sc
dexterously dressed his arm, advancing tc
the room Of the wounded Officer.

ment Of the dragons under Lawton were
| a short distance on their flank. eagerly
awaiting q favorable moment to strike Q
blow. In this manner both parties were
soon lost to view.
A short distance above the Locusts was
a small hamlet, where several roads in
tersected each other. 1t was q fsvorits
halting place Of the horse. To this place
the troops were directed to retire. carry
ing with them their wounded parties
were already employed in the sad duty Of
interrins tho dead. In making these ar
rangements, a new object Of smbarrasS-
ment presented itself to our young soldier.
In moving through the field he was struck
with the appearance of Colonel Wellmers,
seated by himself, brooding over his mis-
fortunes, uninterrupted by anything but
the passing civilities of the American off,
GERS. Dunwoodie, who had seen one Of
his own men ride him down. offered him
surgical assistance. This could only be
procured at the cottage, and thither they
both proceeded.
Colonel Wellmerew cried young
Wharton in astonishment, as they enter
ed, has the fortune of war been thus
cruel to you lso?-but you are welcome
to the house of my father"
Mr. Wharton received this new guest
with the guarded coution that distin-
guished his manner, and Dunwoodie left
the room to seek the bedside Of his friend.
Everything here looked propitious, and he
acquainted the surgeon that another pa
tient waited his skill in the room below.
The sound of the word was enough to set
the doctor in motion, and, seizing his i'm
plements of office, he went in quest Of
this new applicant.
"Sir," cried DR.. Sitgreaves, on enter
ing the parlor, addressing himself to the
only coat OF scarlet in the room, IL am
advised you are in want Of my aid. Where
are you hurt, sir? What is it then this
scratch in your shoulder? In what man
rsr might you have received this wound,
sir?"
From the sword of rebel drasoon,"
said the colonel, with emphasis.
Never! Even the gentle George SIM
gleton would not have Ereathed on you
so harmlessly." He took piece Of stick
ing plaster from his pocket and applied
it to the part. There, sir, that will an
swer your purpose, and l am certain IL
is all that is required of me-"
What do You take to be my purpose,
then, sir?"
TO report yourself wounded in your
dispatches" replied the doctor, with great
steadineSs.
Very extraordinary language" NUT
tered the EnglishGlan.
Dunwoodie fingered in front of the cot
tage, after he paid his parting compli-
ments, with an unwillipgness to return,
that he thought proceeded from his solicit
tude for his wounded friend. His blood
had ceased to flow with the impulse Gre
ated by the battle. The stern expression
of his eye gradually gave place to look
of softness; and his reflections on the
victory brought with them no satisfac-
tion that compensated for the sacrifices
by which it had been purchased. While
turning his last lingering gaze on the
Locusts, he remembered only that it con
tanned all that he most valued.

PEARCE ENJOYING GREATEST ACTIVITY
Hundred Men at Work and 30 Stamps Dropping-Work-
 ing TailingS,

There are two men in Bisbee today, both of whom are prominently identi- fled with the development of the Pearce mines and actively engaged fin their rejuvenation. They are Messrs A. Y. Smith and D. T. Swatley. Both these gentlemen are in the city to at tend the exercises in connection with with initiation of candidates into the Knights Templar lodge.
 Speaking of the conditions as they prevail in the Pearce camp, Mr Smith said last evening: We have about 100 men at work at the mines. Thirty stamps are dropping continuously and we are also working the taillng beds of the old Commonwealth property and mill. We are fin hope that Pearce will continue in its present prosperity and are trying to increase our output of ore to our mill all the time"
 Mir Smith brings news of the com plete recovery of Jack Metcalf, a for. mer mine boss in the Copper Queen mines there, who is now foreman for Messrs Smith and Swatley on their Commonwealth lease.
