Daylight was coming; the gang meant to search the house again. per haps fire it as they had the stable, and then ride away before the Federal garrison at Lewisburg could receive the alarm. 1 turned away from the window to perceive Nichols sitting up on the edge of the bed.

 "The stable.' I answered. crossing the room. Get down in the corner, where you cannot be seen from the windows. Oh. yes you can; you are not so badly hurt. Miss Noreen, Is there any other place better than this in which to hide ?"
 She shook her head
 Well, then we must fight 1t out here If they come; you have your re- voiver-ah! the squad is already be- low; listen!"
 We stood side by side, scarcely breathing, close to the bolted door. The flames of the burning stable were dying down, yet there was sufficient light to render every object in the room plainly visible. Intent as was on every slight sound below and with out. l kept my eyes on Nichols, seated dejectedly in one corner. Feet tramped noisily back and forth in the lower hall, and the sound of voices reached us, the words indistinguishable There was an echo of splintered wood, the crash of dishes, and loud laugh. The fellows seemed to be footing the kitch- en and pantry, destroying whatever they could not use. Suddenly there arose a sound of smashing glass at the front of the house, and the tinkling of a piano as if some rough hand swept across the keys. Noreen pressed closer, lifting her eyes in appeal.
 'They-they are searching the house." she whispered, her voice shak- ing. "and-looting 1t. Do you hear that? They are even tearing the car. pet from the floor. Some of them will come up here"
 "I am afraid so-but you must not lose your nerve. We shall have to fght!"
 Fight? yes; but what use?" and

 But they will" she insisted. "I tell you l know the man. He-he swore he would marry me two years ago; he told me so, ana laughed at him. He stopped my father on the road, held rifle to his head, and boasted that some day he would make me pay his debts. This is no mere incident of war-it is revenge, I-I would not be frightened but for that-that awful alternative Tell me-tell me what to dol"
 She stared pleadingly into my face. but, reading no answer there to her wild appeal, sank to her knees. and buried her face in her hands. All that was strong about the girl seemed swept away by sudden uncontrollahle terror-by dread of Anse Cowan. A hoarse, strange voice roared out an order seemingly from the very foot of the stairs.
 That's enough of that Samuels!
