CHAPTER XIV.
We Drive Them.

1t was silent enough within-not a
movement, not sound. Outside there
was scarcely any more noise audible
the occasional paving of horse, a
distant thud Of feet where some infan-
trymen were being hurried into posi-
ton, and now and then an indistinct
voice. The caution shown, the force
displayed about the church, surprised
me. Surely no such effort would be
made merely because of a vague sus-
picion that a man and girl might be
hidden within. The leaders all knew
that I was not likely to surrender with
out fight, and that I was armed, yet
this could hardly account for such
preparation.
Could it be they really had a faint
glimmer of the truth-that they real
lied the possibility of Confederate
raiding party in the neighborhood?
They had shot Harwood's picket, and
knew him to be a southern cavalry
man from the uniform he wore. This
might account for the display of force
before demanding admission. No doubt
the heavy log walls looked formidable
and mysterious in the moonlight. But,
if they really suspected a garrison
within, why should their line be thus
extended, within easy musket shot of
the windows? The conclusion arrived
at was that Fox made this open display
Of force in the hope of avoiding blood
shed. He desired to capture instead
of kill, and wished above all else to
protect Noreen from danger. If we
were alone within the church. escape
was clearly impossible, and the prob
ability strong that no resistance would
be attempted.
The silence, the long wait, got upon
my nerves. l could see little, and the
few sounds reaching my ears con-
veyed no information of value. What
were those fellows doing? What could
cause their delay? The soldier behind
me was humming softly; foot
scraped on the floor to the right;
caught the soft swish of Noreen's
skirt as she changed position; the
moonbeams glimmered on a lifted rifle
barrel, there was all about sup
pressed sound of breathing. Good
Lord! would they never move! What
could they possibly be doing out there?
A half dozen blows rang sharp on
the wood of the outer door Not a
sound answered from within, although
I could feel the men straighten up and
sense the sharp intake of breath.
Again the blows crashed, as if struck
by the butt of a musket.
"Open up in there!" roared a voice,
so muffied as to have no familiar

choking into our faces, but we pulled

the monaghan, now changed to a red
mist. They stopped; hung for mo-
ment motionless, the ground dotted
with the dead: then tried again. There
was a roar of musketry, the crack of
rifles; bullets chugged into the logs,
and came crashing through the win
dOws. Glass showered upon us, and
the man next me went over like log;
someone struck me across the face
with bloody hand, and shot splin-
tered the stock of my gun, numbing
my arm to the shoulder. l gripped
another weapon out of the stiffen-
ing fingers of the man on the floor,
firing again blindly into the smoke
cloud. For an instant l could see
nothing but that white vapor tinged
with red and yellow flame; then some
breath of air swept it aside, and the
attackers were drifting back, running
and stumbling.
stop firing!" I cried, they've had
enough. Pass the word to those men
at the door,"
The fight at the front held longer,
yet it was scarcely five minutes when
the last gun cracked, and a strange
uproar. For an instant not even a cry
from the wounded broke the Stiffness

watching the disorganized retreat.
Then someone gave an exultant yell,

cloud drifting upward to the rafters.
The lieutenant picked his way down
the narrow aisle. He was bareheaded
and coatless, and even in that dim
light could perceive dark stain, like
oozing blood, on the front of his shirt
"You are wounded?" l exclaimed
