duclng the effective force Of the Army
Of the Shenandoah to one division OF
infantry and three Of cavalry, General
Haverill's among the latter. #s.:.
General Haverill's mood Of somber
reserve was matter Of inquietude to
his friends and puzzle to those of
the army who knew him only in his
soldierly capacity. He went about his
military duties in the silent, dispirited
manner of fatalist. Not man In
the army dared to formulate the Ques-
ton that was In the minds Of many.
Did the general suspect that the he
rotc Lieutenant Bedloe, who sacrificed
his life at Three Top mountain, was
bis own disgraced son? Those who
knew best declared that he did not
and the famous dispatch to Washing
ton In praise of Bedloe's deed was ad-
duced as confirming evidence. =.
When Gertrude Ellingham wrote for
particulars as to Kerchival Vests vio-
lation of the order of arrest to partici-.
pate In the battle of Cedar Greek, the
general replied with formal brevity
that he must dfsclaim responsibility as
we'll as any special knowledge In the
matter. When Jenny Buckthorn Ques-
toned him personally in the hope Of
getting some clew that might aid in
finding Captain Heartsease. wounded
and captured in Lieutenant Bedloe's
raid upon the enemy's signal station,
he was scarcely more communicative,
except on one point-that Captain
Heartsease, following the practice of
Major Young's scouts. had worn a
Confederate uniform, which would put
him in the category Of secret service
officer or spy. and therefore prejudice
his status as prisoner Of war.
Evidently General Haverill had but
little comfort to give to others, and it
was certain be kept none for himself.
The chain of circumstances. from the
unexplained duel of Kerchival West
and Edward Thornton at Charleston,
to the recent happenings in which
Kerchivaps name was still coupled
with that of Mrs. Constance Haverill,
eliminating in the damning fact that
the telltale miniature portrait given in
a trying hour to young Frank Haver-
Ill had turned up three and a half
years later in the possession Of Colo
mel West, bound proud and sensitive
nature like that of the general to dis
dainful silence.
General Sheridan's work in the Shen-
andoah valley was now practically
completed. He was now ready to
plan junction with General Grant at
Petersburg, convinced that decisive
Federal victory there would open the
gates of Richmond and close the war.
Here in the beleaguered capital Bob
received the first direct word from
his sister Gertrude that had come to
him for many anxious weeks. She had
left Danville after a long and harrow
ing search there which disclosed the
fact that Kerchival West was among
! convoy Of sick and wounded prison
ers lately "sent on" presumably to
Richmond. Thither Gertrude herself
was now making her way as best she
might, attended by the unsuitable Jo-
sephus.

CHAPTER XIX.
The Surrender.


T was lovely Sabbath morning
of springtime-the I'd of April,
1865. The church bells Of Rich
mond had rung out the summons
to divine service.
At St. Paul's Episcopal church the
usual large and aristocratic congrega-
ton listened attentively to the earnest
discourse of the Rev. DR.. Minnigerode
Jefferson Davis, the chief executive Of
the southern Confederacy, occupied his
pew in the middle of the central aisle,
nearly opposite the now vacant one
belonging to General Robert E. Lee.
An orderly in uniform entered the
church somewhat precipitately. yet
without disturbance, and delivered a
telegram to Mr.. Davis, who quietly
rose and went out. The occurrence
was noticed, but attracted no special
attention among congregation who
during the four years past had grown
accustomed to sudden alarms and un-
timely notice Of threatened attacks. 1t
was the day after the battle of Five
Forks.
The dispatch was from General Lee.
announcing his withdraw wal from Pc
tersburg and the consequent necessity
for the immediate evacuation Of Rich
mond. Immediate evacuation meant
getting out by 8 o'clock that night.
The news spread as only such news
can. Women prayed. men wept and
cursed and defed; children wondered,
negroes rather enjoyed the excitement,
especially after the issue of a procla-
nation to the effect that all who wish
ed might come to the commissary de-
partment and get free provisions.
A. fer the soldiers, they had their

General Grant, accompanied by Gen
erals Sheridan and Ord and several
other officers. including General Hav-
GRILL, presented striking contrast to-
General Lee, who, with couple of
staff officers, awaited him In the old
fashioned parlor of the Mclean resi-
dence. ...
Grant, forty-three years old, medium
sized and somewhat stoop shouldered,
wore no marks of rank except q gen.
erals shoulder straps on his blue fan
mel blouse. His trousers were tucked
In his boots, and he had neither spurs
nor sword. Lee, dozen years older
than his late adversary, had the stat
ure and bearing of an old knight cru
sader. His hair and beard were silver
gray. He wore a plain but handsome
uniform Of Confederate gray, top boots
with spurs, gauntlets and a dress
sword. This unaccustomed side arm
was splendid blade engraved on one
side with the motto aide tot ct Dieu
t'aidera," on the other side with the
inscription, reminiscent Of the cam

CHAPTER XVIII,
The Valley of DesoIation.

TA7HllIE Early'S troops were
still running and Sheridan's
" reveling, the customary sad
truce was declared in order
to permit the removal Of the wounded
from the field and the decent disposal
Of the dead. Not only soldiers, but
civilians from far and near focked
upon the scene. From Winchester,
Kernstown, Newtown, Middletown, up
from the valley and down from the
mountains came men and women,
searching amid the heaped up horrors
where late the battle lines had stood.
Some came for love and some-alas-
for loot. Sunset Redeemed the CHASTITY
field; then fell the inky pail of night,
and the lanterns Of the ghostly minis
trants twinkled iii the gloom far be-
You'd the circling camps.
Gertrude Ellingham. Madeline West
and Jenny Buckthorn. led by Sergeant
Barket and followed by the faithful
Josephus, made up one of the most in
defatigable groups of rescuers. They
had ascertained that Kerchival West
was not among the living Federal
troops, either In the celebrating camps
or in the hospital tents. Now at last
they sought pitiful, uncertain COM
fort in satisfying themselves that he
was not among the dead Oh the field.
General Haverill told me-" said Ger
trude, that although our-l mean the
southern-troops were defeated they
managed to carry off a considerable
number Of prisoners. l believe Colo
mel West is among them"
Il know Captain Heartsease u.s."
murmured Jenny forlornly.
IF nothing worse has befallen my
brother than that" added Madeline. II
suppose l ought to be thankful. as at
least he will now be out of the awful
fighting. But it Is cruel injustice
If that wicked wretch. Captain Thorn
ton, is still to be at large"
They rode Oh in silence-for General
Buckthorn had seen to it that they
were provided with mounts-until at
last Gertrude exclaimed:
II can't rest anyway. I'm going on.
Josephus will follow me. You girls
will be all right-won't you, dears?"
where are you going?" cried the
other two aghast.
ION to the ford, and then to Fishers
hill, or Strasburg, or wherever they
have gone Don't mind me. I'll bring
you comforting news, or won't come
hack at 1ll Good night"
And before they could persuade her
that was what she fed from now, as
from unbearable torture-she rode off
exultantly into the darkness Of the
mountain shadows like another Val
kyrie bearing her stricken warriors
soul to the glorious and blissful Val
halla.

Belle Bosquet was deserted. For
miles around stretched the heart sick

to go and see General Grant" General
Lee had said. - 5s. 1.

his lieutenants, what will the world
say Of the surrender Of your army In
the field?'' ~ 2= . |.
Eyes, they will say hard things Of
us, I know. They will not understand
how we were overwhelmed by num-
bers. But that Is not the question. The
question is, Is it right to surrender
II it is right then I will take all the re-
sponsibility."

The rapidity with which We have
changed, the almost utter extinction
of the old family life, has had the
appalling results which the neWspa-
pers chronicle daily.
The police commissioner of New
York asked, in a newspaper article,
what parents we're thinking Of to per-
NIT their girls to be on the streets,
to meet strange men, to accept gifts
from people who were strangers
to the parents themselves, and
to swallow so easily the tales
these young people told of their
associates, without being alarmed or
suspecting what the real status Of
the case was. It seems almost mere
dible, when one reads the police re-
ports, Of the number Of young women
who disappear, and whose parents
begin frantic investi gati0n-after the
girl has disappeared.

optimistic, who can believe that, or
any other society can take the place
of the home.
