Rumors of this state of affairs to
the north and west of our defending
lines had already reached me-indeed.
the verification had formed part of my
instructions; but Bungay's homely yet
graphic description made the situation
appear terribly real and my thought
went instantly forth to those I knew
who might even then be exposed to
this great and unexpected danger.

She glanced up at me. her long

are concerned" she exclaimed indif-

CHAPTER XVII.
An Embarrassing Situation


It was well into the third day when
We came down into the fertile valley
Of the Cowskin. II had proven an I'M
eventful ride thus far. for we had met
with NO adventures and had observed
little worthy of consideration from q
military standpoint.
While constantly observant Of those
points regarding which l had been dis
patched. my one overmastering
thought during all those hours was the
possibility of again meeting with Edith
Brennan and proving of some assist
ance to her. Her greeting Of me in
the Federal hospital had been SO
sweetly gracious. SO marked with ten
der sympathy. while the memory OF
her words. and even more OF the look
which accompanied them, had SO re-
mained with me In encouragement
that longed to encounter her again.
God knows what I hoped for. for l
knew well It must all inevitably end
In despair. yet like the moth l must
continue to SINCE my wings until the
flame devoured me. Now. however. as
we actually drew near to where 1 sup
posed she might be. felt my earlier
courage fast deserving me. Nor was
furnished with even the slightest
excuse for pressing on; my orders did
not positively compel me to proceed.
and nothing appeared along the way
to lead me to suppose that harm OF
any kind threatened that peaceful val
Icy. Everything meeting my eyes evil
dencsd that here. at least. was with
its attendant horrors had not come.
Totally without the beaten track of
those great armies which had battled
80 nercely for the Shenandoah, It had
been traversed only by few scouting
and forasing parties, and so short had
been their stay that even the rail
fences remained undisturbed to guard
the fields. and nowhere did note out
ward signs of devastation. It was vir-
ginia a. recalled It in those old days
of peace and plenty. before civil strife
had sown the land with dead.
What possible excuse, then. had
for going there? In my own heart
knew I had none. or one so poor and
selfish scarcely burst whisper It even

on my breast; then. as with a little
laugh she disengsged herself from my

She turned toward me and slightly
inclined her head.

Her cheeks flushed with Indignation.
and her audacity gave her speech
which made matters even worse than
before.
You are exceedingly free with your
criticisms. Edith" she exclaimed
sharply, as the latter turned her back
ipon us. Perhaps It would be as well
for you first to ascertain the truth"
You wholly mistake" was the calm
reply. Il have not presumed to criti-

I presume you have no further OBJ

questioning eyes. What she may
