Then slight gust Of air partially
swept aside hanging curtain, which
rustled like silk, and caught brief
glimpse of the adjacent parlor. It was
likewise unillumined, but the door
leading into the front hall stood ajar,
and through that opening there
poured stream Of radiance, together
with the incessant hum of many voices
IN animated conversation, the deep
blare OF the band, with the ceaseless
movement of dancing feet.

moment l could hear him scraping
his way upward, feeling for foothold
upon the irregular layers of stone
followed, pressing my knees firmly
against the rough wall, and trusting
more to my hands than feet for Sc
curity against falling. There was
evidently fireplace of some kind on
the first floor, with a considerable
opening leading from 1t into the Chin

A moment later I came opposite

yellow stripe down the seam of the
light-blue trousers, and the high boots

stood leaning carelessly against the
mantel, talking with some one just
beyond the range of my vision.

suddenly, and afraid to proceed until

myself securely on projecting stone

Well, so long, Somers; see you in the

The cavalry legs shifted their posi-
ton; the band resumed it's functions,
and in the renewed activity and noise
l began again the toilsome climb, my
mind now bewildered chaos between
my plain duty to Lee and my nearly
uncomfortable desire to meet once
more the woman who was dancing in
the room below.
The little mountaineer, as active as
q cat. and not especially hampered by
lack OF room in which to work. was
well above me by this time. The
chimney. acting as tube, brought
down to me from time to time the
slight noise Of his climbing, varied
by an occasional exclamation or com.
ment. but l could perceive no other
evidence Of his presence. Above, all
was as black as the grave.

along the stones until I located the
opening. and roughly measured its
dimensions.

for the word; it nerves my heart, 1t

Even as he spoke 1 could hear him
creeping steadily upward. It soon be-
came evident that his progress was
growing slower, more difficult. Then
all sounds above me ceased, and I
knew he must have attained the roof
in safety.

was far too experienced a soldier to
leave an enemy in my rear, I crept
cautiously forward to the intercepting
curtain. and drawing 1t aside took

cupying prominent position against
the farther wall. A swivel chair
stood beside 1t, and across its back
hung what appeared to be suit Of
clothing. l saw no other signs Of hui
man occupancy.
Convinced that the apartment was
deserted, and discovering no different
means of egress, crossed the room on
tiptoe. and peered cautiously out into
the hall. It was not pleasing pros
psct to one in my predicament. The
lower portion. Judging from the in
cessant hum Of voices, was filled with
people, who were either unable to
find place within the crowded ball
room, or else preferred greater retire
ment for conversation. Even the wide
stairway had been partially pre-
empted, a young lieutenant, az I

out the situation and determine what

be sheer madness to venture upon q
passage to the front door, clad as
was in travelworn gray uniform; to

clearer passage, yet 1t was hardly
probable that the house, used as l
knew it to be for military prison,
would be left unguarded. Besides,
such delay must absolutely prevent
my getting beyond the Federal picket
lines before daybreak. and would
hence render valueless the news I
sought to bear to Lee.

glanced out; 1t opened upon the back
of the house and presented sheer
