AS she spoke, her voice fairly trem-

backward out of sight into the house.

Old campaign hat, came directly up TO
US
Sentry" she said in her old i'm
perious manner, Il desire 20 place this

The fellow glanced uneasily over his
shoulder at the seemingly unconscious
officer, not knowing whether It were
better to permit the act or not, but
she waited for no permission.

voice grown kindly in a moment. and
her eyes frankly meeting mine. you

Her eyes darkened with sudden

lightly disobeyed but / shall tell my

TO the beauty and purity OF this one.
l know net; l am content TO give
facts. and leave philosophy to others.
My life has ever been one of action. Of
intense feeling; and there in the road
that day, standing bareheadod in the
sun. l was clearly conscious Of but
one changeless fact, that loved Edith
Brennan with every throb Of my
heart. and that there was enmity, bit
ter and unforgiving, between me ami
the man within who bore her name.
Whatever he might be to her / re-
joiced to know that he hated me with
all the unreasoning hatred Of Jealousy.
/ had read it in his eyes, in his words,
In his manner; and the memory of its
open manifestation caused me to
smile, as L. hoped for an hour when
We should meet alone and face to
face. How she regarded him | was
unable as yet TO tell, but his love for
her was plainly apparent in every
glance and word.
AS I was thus thinking, half In
despair and half In hope, the two
came out from the house together:
and II pleased me to note how imme-
diately her eyes sought for me, and
how she lifted her hand to shade them
from the glare of the sun, so that
she might see more clearly. Her COM
panion appeared to ignore my pres
ence utterly, and gazed anMously up
and down the road as though search
Ing for something.
Peters" he asked sharply of the
fellow on guard, "where are Sergeant
Steele and the rest of the squad?"
The soldier addressed saluted In a
manner that convinced me he was OF
the regular service.
They are resting out OF the sun
in that clump of bushes down the hill,
cir"
Brennan glanced in the direction in
dicated.
Very WELL" he said. Take your
prisoner down there, and tell tho
Sergeant to press on at once toward
the lower road. We shall follow you,
and the lady will ride his horse"
The man turned, and with peremp-
tory gesture ordered me forward. AS
/ drew closer to where the two waited
beside the open door, lifted my head
proudly, determined that neither
should perceive how deeply l felt the
humiliation of my position. AS thus
passed them, my eyes fixed upon the
shining road ahead, my ears caught
q word or two of indignant expostula-
ton from her lips.
"But, Frank, it is positively shame
full In this sun"
He laughed lightly, yet his answer
came to me In all clearpess of ut
terance. l believed he wished me to
overhear the words. ooh, it will only
prove Of benefit to his brains, if by
rare chance he possesses any"
glanced aside, and saw her turn
instantly and face him, her eyes

Frank" she said calmly, you shall
not. This man is a Confederate Off
GER; he is no spy; and during all the
events of last night he has proven
himself :. friend rather than an enemy.
Only for my sake Is he here now"
Ignoring the look upon his face she
turned toward me, impetuously waved
aside the fellows who yet held me
PROSTATE, and extending her hand
lifted me to my feet For an instant,
as If by accident, our eyes met, and
sudden flush swept across her
throat and cheeks.
1t is my turn now" she whispered
softly, so softly the words did not car
ry beyond my own ears. Then she
stood erect between us, as though in
her own drawing room, and gravely
presented us to each other, as if she
dared either TO quarrel longer In her
presence.
Major Brennan, Captain Wayne"
We bowed to each other as men
salute on the duelling field In his
eyes l read an unforgiveness, a bitter
personal enmity, which 1 returned
with interest, and secretly rejoiced
over
The lady seems to be In control at
present" he said shortly, showing back
the revolver into his belt. "Neverthe-
less / shall do my military duty, and
hold ycu as a prisoner. May inquire
your full lame and rank7"
Philip Wayne, Captain til Vir-
ginia Cavalry, Shirtley's Brigade"
Why are you within our lines?"
Il attempted TO pass through them
last night with dispatches, but was
prevented by my desire to be Of as
sistance to this lady"
'Indeed?' He smiled incrcdulously.
