CHAPTER xi,
In the Presence OF Sheridan.


1t had been dark for nearly an hour
before We entered what was from all
appearances a large and populous
camp No sooner was | thrust into
the unknown darkness Of hut by the
not unkindly sergeant, than ! threw
myself prone on the floor, and was
sound asleep before the door had fair
ly closed behind him.
My rest was not destined to be q
long one. 1t seemed I had barely
closed my eyes when a rough hand
shook me again into consciousness.
The flaming glare of an uplifted pine
knot flung its radiance over half-a-
dozen figures grouped in the open
doorway. A corporal, with white
chin beard, was bending over me.
Come. Johnny" he said tersely.

The instinct of soldierly obedience
caused me to grope my way to my
feet
What time IS it. Corporal!" l asked
slsepily.

Who wishes me?"

ly. Come, move on. Fall in. men,"
Our march was a short one, and we
soon turned abruptly In at a wide
open gateway. High pillars OF brick
stood upon either hand. and the pas
sage was we'll lighted by brightly
blazing fire of logs. Two sentries
stood there. and our party passed be-
tween them without uttering word.

The corporal pushed me forward.
This Is the man. sir"

changed from that Of command to gen.

You vii, accompany me. and per-

sake to be as civil as possible in your
answers tonight. for the old man Is
In one OF his tantrums."
We crossed the rather dimly lighted
hall. which had sentry posted at
either end OF It, and then my con-
ductor threw open a side door. and
silently motioned for me to enter in
advance of him. It was as spacious
room. elegant in all its appointments.
