SYNOPSIS.

The story opens in a Confederate tent
At a critical stage of the Civil War. Gen.
Lee imparts. to Capt. Wayne an important
message to Longstreet. Accompanied by
Sergt Craig. IN old army scout. Wayne
starts on his mission. They get within
the lines of the enemy and in the dark
ness Wayne is aiken for a Federal Of
ncer and a young lady on horseback is
gwen IN his charge. She is a northern
girl and attempts to escape. One of the
horses succumbs and Craig goes through
with the dispatches, while Wayne and My
Lady Of the North are left alone. They
seek shelter in a hut and entering it in
the lark a huge mastiff attacks Wayne.
The gill shoots the brute just in time.
The owner Of the hut. Jed Bungay. and
his wife appear and soon a party Of
horsemen approach. They are led by. a
man claiming to be Red Lowrie. but who
proves to be Maj. Brennan, a Federal
officer whom the Union girl recognizes.
He orders the arrest of Wayne as a spy
and he 10 brought before Sheridan, who
threatens him with death unless he re-
yea!s the secret message. Wayne believes
Edith Brennan to be the wife of Maj.
Brennan. He is rescued by Jed Bungay.
Mho starts to reach Gen. Lee, While
Wayne in disguise penetrates to the ball
room. beneath which he had been i'm
Prisoned. He is introduced to a Miss
Minor and barely escapes being unmask

This is all right" he said, handing
it back, and lifting his cap in salute.
You may pass. madam. You must
pardon us, but the orders are exceed
ingly strict tonight. Have you a pass
also, Colonel?" l handed it to him. and
after a single glance it was returned.
Pass them, guard" he said curt
ly, standing aside.
Beyond the radiance of the fire she
broke the silence.
II shall only be able to go with you
so far as the summit o. the hill yon-
der. for our quarters are just to the
night, and l could furnish no III

Brennan selected the station, and re-
marked that the stream was so high
and rapid as to be impossible at any
other point for miles. But l regret
this is as far as my information eX-
tends"
| started to say something-what
hardly know-whe.., almost without
sound vi warning, a little squad OF
horsemen swept over the brow of the
hill in u front, their forms darkly
outlined against the starlit sky, and
rode down toward us at a sharp trot
l had barely time to swing my COM
panion out of the track when they
clattered by, their heads bent low to
the wind, and seemingly oblivious to
all save the movements Of their
leader.

rode in front.
The woman shuddered, and drew
closer within my protecting shadow
Then out of the darkness there burst
a solitary rider. his horse limping as
if crippled, and would have ridden us
down, had l not flung up one hand
and grasped his bridle-rein.
Great Scott! what have we
here?" he cried roughly. peering down
at us. by all the gods. a woman!'
The hand upon my arm clutched me
desperately, and my own heart seemed
to choke back every u%tterance. The
voice was Brennan's.

firmly backward. ia 4 him without a

The mans extended arm dropped to
his side as though pierced by a bullet.
and he took n step backward,
shrinking as if his startled eyes be-
held a ghost.
"Edith?" he cried. as though doubt
ing his own vision, and the ring of
agony in his voice was almost piteous.
Edith! My God! You here, at mid
night, alone with this MANI"
However the words, the tone, the
gesture may have stung her, her face
remained proudly calm; her voice cold
and clear.
Il certainly am, Major Brennan
she answered, her eyes never once
leaving his face. And may | ask
what reason you can have to object?''
"Reason?" His voice had grown
hoarse with passion and surprise.
MY God, how can you ask? How
can YOU even face me? Why do you
not sink down in shame? Alone
here."-he looked about him into the
darkness-"at such an hour, in com
pany with a Rebel, a sneaking, COW,

HINTS FOR THE HoUsEkEEPER.

This is the season of the year when
We get our best nuts. and those who
are living without meat find they
prove a good substitute.
Olive oil, cream and butter are all
valuable foods and should be used
Freely.
The plan of keeping a house purse
downstairs neal at hand will save
many steps and much time.
Cookies and cakes in stone jars with
pieces of orange or lemon peel will
find them delicately favored.
A child's broom will be found most
useful in sweeping under heavy pieces
of furniture or in small spaces where
At is not cas- to use a broom.
Keep two calendars at hand; they
will be found most useful. one to tear
off, the other to keep to refer back to
past dates when necessary.
A dainty little ruching for the house
dress is made of the footing OF lace
used a good deal a few years ago.
,Baste or plat on double to a narrow
binding, and put into the necks of all
The washable morning dresses. These
ruchings launder we'll.
A very easy way to tint lace any
desired color Is to use oil paints, the
kind which comes in small tubes used
lby artists. Thin 1t with gasoline and
dip a small piece of lace to get the
right shade.
To make handkerchiefs look like
new that have been washed, iron when
very damp, or add a very little starch
to the rinse water.
Instead Of sweeping the carpets SO
much with a broom, cover the broom
with a bag, dampen slightly n rub
it owe the carpet in the direction OF
the pile. 1t will not be necessary to
sweep it SO often.
Before writing a letter. a great help
is to jot down items which may be
written about: in that way a good let
ter Is written and when it is sealed
and on its a. one is not SO apt to
remember that the most important
thing was left unsaid.

shoot me, and your bullet shall Ger
tainly find my heart before it ever
reaches Captain Wayne"
Truly, you must indeed love him.
he sneered.
So close to me was she standing
that | could feel her form tremble at
this insult, yet her voice remained
e~motionless.
Your uncalled-for words shame
me, not my actions. In being here
with Captain Wayne tonight ] am
merely paying a simple debt of honor
"a double debt, indeed. considering
that he was condemned to death by
your lie, while you deceived me by
another"
Did he tell you that?"
He did not. Like the true gentle
man he has ever shown himself to be,
be ~endeavored to disguise the facts,
to. withhold from me all knowledge
of your dastardly action. | know it
by the infamous sentence pronounced
against him and by your falsehood to
me-"
Edith, you mistake" he urged anx-
iously. II was told that he had
been sent North"
She drew a deep breath, as though
she could scarcely grasp the full au-
dacity of his pretence to ignorance.
You appeared to be fully informed
but now as to his death sentence"
Yes, ! heard of 1t while away, and
intended telling you as soon as |
reached our quarters"
| could feel the scorr of his miser-
able deception as 1t curled her lip,
and her figure seemed to straighten
between If.
Then" she said slowly. you will
doubtless agree that | have done no
more than was right, and will there
fore permit him this chance of escape
from so unmerited a fate; for you
know as we'll as ! do that he has been
wrongly condemned"
He stepped forward with a half
smothered oath, and rested one hand
heavily upon her shoulder.
II rather guess not, madam" he
said. Damn him! will hang him
now higher than Haman. just to show
Queen Esther that it can be done. Out
of the way. madam!"
Rendered desperate by her sligh,
resistance and his own jealous hatred,
he thrust the woman aside so rudely
,ha, she fell forward upon one knee.

Standard Of colors.

The call for international standards
of all kinds is becoming every day
more insistent with the progressive
%unifcation of the industries Of the
world. The latest demand of this kind
is for an International standard OF
colors.
Chemists. manufacturers OF dye
stuffs and pigments. and many others
would benefit by such a standard. 1t
is suggested that when once the de-
sired color scheme has been decided
upon. the best method of perpetuating
the standards. and rendering them
available for comparison everywhere,
would be by lea of colored glasses
with which a tintometer could be con.
structed. A tentative instrument Of
this kind. based on an arbitrary color
scheme. has been made.-Youth's
