in we passed through the fringe OF
from whence we could see plainly the
great white house still illumined by
the flames which continued to con-
sumo the stables. Shots were fash
ing like firefiies out of the darkness
on every side Of us, the smell of burn
ing powder scented the air, and
could distinguish the black forms Of
men lying prone on the grass in some
thing resembling a skirmish line.

picked our way carefully among the
recumbent forms.
Damn 'em, yes, a hell O. a fight"
he admitted bitterly.
Just beyond musket-shot from the
house, and nearly opposite the front
entrance, quite a group of men were
standing beneath the black shadows of
a grove Of trees. In spite of the CLEAN

direction Of the rear, one of them, ex-
claimed suddenly:

The flames of the burning barn
leaped suddenly upward, as If fed by
some fresh combustion, and flung a
brighter glare over the rough faces
clustered about us. ! saw Red Low
RE plainly enough now, as he peered
eagerly forward to scan my face, a
heavy-set, coarse-featured man. with
prominent nose, and thick, matted red
beard. He wore a wide-brimmed soft
army hat, under which his eyes shone
maliciously. and he grasped a long
rife in one big, hairy hand. AS
gazed at him ~curiously, some one
hastily pushed a way through the
group at his back. and the next In
slant a tall figure stood at his side. !

glance, and for the moment my heart
fairly choked met was Craig.

He arose ponderously to his feet,
and stretched out his short arms in a
prodigious yawn. AS he stood there,
his pudgy figure outlined against the
sky, there vas borne to our ear the
sound of a furious struggle on hilltop
to the south-a shout, blows, a volley
Of cuTsing, then silence. An instant
later we were both running through
