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 vague sus-
pfcion that man and girl might be
hidden within. The leaders all knew
chat was not likely to surrender with
out fight, and that / 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

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
with which they invested the church
before demanding admission. No doubt
the heavy log walls looked formidable
and mysterious in the moonlight. But,
II they really suspected garrison
within, why should their line be thus
extended, within easy musket shot OF
the windows? The conclusion l arrived
ct was that Fox made this open display
of force In the hope Of avoiding blood
shed. He desired to capture instead
