tering his prayers; but such prayers
as he was saying would not be
very suitable to utter in the pres
ence of a Sunday school class.
A great many of these men were
badly frostbitten; some had frosted
feet, some frosted hands, some
frosted ears, and some with parts
of their faces frozen. There was a
great deal of suffering that night
and morning among the men. AT
our house one big, fat Dutchman
had his feet so badly frozen and
they were so terribly swollen the
next morning that he could put on
neither sOx nor shoes. Each foot
was as large as two feet should be.
In the morning my mother annoint-
ed his feet with a soothing oint-
ment, and then took an old bed
quilt and cut and made for him a
pair of quilt moCCasins. This man,
being unable to ride a horse, was
carried away from here in a wagon.
And while my mother was doing
this kindness for that Dutchman,
other soldiers were burning house
of ours. We had a very good one
room, hewed log house, well finish
ed, with a good chimney, but no
one was living in it just at that
time. Some of the soldiers had
camped there during the night, and
before leaving had set the building
Oh fire They set fire to two other
houses in town that morning, and
with women begging the soldiers
to put out the fires, they refused to
do so. The women then asked
permission to put out the fires
themselves, and we're told they
might do so if they could. So the
women and children began carrying
water at once and saved two Of
the buildings But cur house had
been burning too long for them to
stop the flames there.
These men, who were waiting
for the sun to warm the air some,
did not leave town that morning
until about 10 o'clock. When they
did start to 90 they went to every
COW lot in town and drove out ev-
cry mich COW they could find,
herding them on the hill, where
our court house now stands The
children, seeing them driving our
cattle away, came and reported the
matter to mother. She went at
once in the room where Col Warren
was and told him what his men
were doing, Furthermore telling him
that she was going to get her cows
and bring them back. He told her
to do as she pleased; that the cattle
were of no use to him. SO my
calling a negro Girl to 60
with her, went and drove our cows
and calves back to the lot, Other
women, seeing what she had done,
did likewise, and, with the assist
ahce of the children, soon returned
their cattle to their lots.

CHAPTER XI
QUITE FRIENDS.


4 LEANED back in my chair, aston

excitement on the part of Hyacintha
Nash. It was not easy to comprehend
the reason for it, or the motive for
taking me thus suddenly into her
confidence. But it was necessary to
act quickly, if there were a clew to
be obtained. I could hear the street
door opening-this time without any
preliminary chain arrangements.

"What has he to gain was the
quick rejoinder, but disappointment
and misery? What to confront, save
danger and disgrace? Tell him so,
sir-tell him I said SO, if you like!'
"But-"
"Hush!" enc exclaimed.
Then, as the street door cf1-~a
again, she was back in her old, Ian
guild position, pale and passive, a
woman with no life in her. Yes, a
very fair actress, Hyacintha Nash, I
thought at once, perhaps a little I'M
charitably; it was pity that her in

She had dropped the book which
she had been reading before my ar
rival, and I stopped and picked it up
for her. To my surprise, it was
book l knew, one Of my own little
ollection-Tracey' work, my clever
friend Tracey.
''That is your property, I think,
Mr.. Lissamer," she said, very coolly,
"and do not think I shall want 1t
any more. It is not pleasant reading
to me, you may imagine"
did Mr.. Fairfax lend it to your"
Eyes. He was very anxious I
should read 1t. The author was
friend of his, he said, in whom he
had immense faith; a great surgeon.
But he has only unsettled me, and
rendered me unhappy. Some books
will"
"Why unhappy"
HE has proved what a hopeless
life lies before me-" she said.

living on hope" she answered. $50
/ cannot thank Mr.. Fairfax for
thrusting such a work upon my no.
tice 1t is horrible" she added, with
a shudder. "Take it home, please"
l dropped the book into the pocket
of my overcOat in response to a ges-
ture from her, but I was considering
the motive George Fairfax might
have had in placing it in her hands.
Was it to crush out all hope, all vain
dreams of health and strength, or
was it to give her fresh courage to
hope on? More likely the latter:
more like George Fairfax in every
respect; a proof, as it were, that he
had hope of her himself.
Did he say why he lent this vol
ume to you?" inquired.
HE said he would tell me after l
I had read it. l can guess at his mo-
tive" she said, thoughtfully, 'for he
is very kind, if not very wise,'' she
added.
There was a pause. They did not
come in from the passage so quickly
as we had both anticipated, and in
the silence which ensued between us
we could hear quick whispers and
murmurings, as of Della and her
visitor in an alteration of some spir-
it, and upon a subject which was not
intended for our ears.
"Do you think 1t Is my friend?" I
asked.
''I am sure 1t Is he," was the reply.
Does he come frequently"
"Too frequently" she said, In a
lower voice. "You will remember
that, if you are his friend"
Eyes, will"
After another pause, as If she were
safe from interruption, she went on,
in a suppressed voice:
"You, who have done so much for
a dead stranger, are not likely to be
remiss in your duty to a living
friend, or think lightly of his dan
ger"
''Twice have you spoken of dan
ger, Miss Nash," said, gravely, "and
have a right to ask in what that
| danger may consist"
| Miss Nash was silent. I could see
by her look toward the door that she
was still guarding against the sur
prise of sudden entrance.
Presently her lips moved, and she
had begun to speak, when the door
opened, and Della Nash re-entered,
| followed by George Fairfax, who
looked sheepishly toward me. He
had taken off his hat and coat, which
he had left behind him in the hall;
/ he had evidently no intention of de-
parting yet awhile; he looked like q
man who had come to spend the
evening.
'.I thought I should see you here,
.arthur,'' he said, with laugh, a lit

street.
Dark street." corrected Della,
because there is not a spark OF life
and light in its there?"
ooh! I recollect" said George
Fairfax; "this street, this house,
you two girls, are all parts of the al
legory. But this is Hyacintha's idea
NOT yours, you know. YOU, DeI1a,
my child, are simply plagiarist. Z"
Il am not as clever as my sister,
George was the laughing answer;
''but did I ever say that I was?"
No. You have a humble and a
against you"
Yes, they we're quite friends; they
called each other by their Christian
names. They were laughing faces
confronting me, and strangely in con-
trast to my own and Hyacintha's.
These two looked at life lightly yet;
| perhaps it was natural that George
Fairfax should do SO; but l was very
much perpleXed. I felt like a man
in shadow-land, sitting apart from
the light in which these two young
| figures stood.
Did you not charge us once with
being a shady lot,' George?" said
Della, continuing the subject she had
started did you not telegraph to
your friend there that piece of in
formation?"
81 confessed everything to YOU"
was the frank admission; 1.-The doubt

and what I said and wrote about you
i kept nothing back"
ooh, yes, you were deliciously can
did," she replied; 'but what else
could you have thought Of us-what
else did we deserve? We were
struggling to live; and not too par
ticular about getting into debt"
''I was never too particular myself
about that; why should I blame
your" said Fairfax. Arthur, have
not been lodging my creditors ever
since I first had the honor Of your
acQI%intance?"
"You have,'' 1 answered, TINS ap-
pealed to.
VERY we'll, then"
He sat down, seized the poker, and
stirred the fire. Once he glanced at
me askance, as if to judge by my
looks what impression had been con-
veyed to my mind. He was hardly at
his ease or else he considered that I
was little de trOp-sOmebOdy to be
treated as a caller, and not to be Ia
ken into their confidence entirely. He
appeared to me also to be rafting on
to save time; to stop, If possible, by
a voluble discourse, the Introduction
of any new topic-from the elder sis
ter or from me-that might be ern-
barrassing to him.
He would be glad when got up TO
go away. Yes, I was sure Of that by
the flush in his face, as though he
thought that I had guessed his wish,
when rose suddenly and extended
my hand to Hyacintha Nash, to begin
with.
"Good-bye," said.
"Good-bye," she answered, putting
her hand in mine; land once more,
and for the last time, thank YOU"
mot for the last time," said Della,
shaking hands with me next; 1--WE
shall see you many times, Mr.. LISA
mer, we hope"
I bowed. I hardly knew how to
respond. 1t was better to turn to
Fairfax and say innocently-far too
innocently:
