The cruel vnr, in which the Little
Colonel gallant wins his spurs, inter-

are the lovers separated. Stoneman
has always disliked Ben Cameron for
his strictly southern spirit, and the
war and the bitter hatreds 1t has en-
gendered has built a barrier between
the two proud younger hearts.
Cameron's refusal later on, to eoun-
tenance Lynch, Stoneman.s pet, further
enrages Elsie's father.
