Thoro wna a yoll of fright, a wild ncrnmblo for safety, a perfoct volloy of uurslng I nnv Red Lowrlo go tumbling backward, n heol plnntod fairly In tho pit of his Btomnch, nnd tho next Instant Craig, Bwcarlng llko a pirate, was Jninniod down on top of Jilin, a rod gash ncrosn lila forohond. It wno all nccotnpllBhod bo speedily, thnt It, seemed but a tnodley of hools, of wildly cavorting tnulo, of scram bllng, falling mon. "Flrel" I cried excitedly. "Sock It Into thorn, lads, nnd follow mo!" Thoro was a quick outburst of flnmo, n thundorous roport, nnd, with out waiting to see or hoar moro, 1 sprang forwnrd through tho donso nmoko, nnd rnood madly toward tho front door. Caton pnntod at my Bldo, nnd I could hoar tho heavy foot of a Bcoro of mon poifndlug Uio turf bo hlud ub. Tho rush was so rapid, tho nolso so groat and confusing, I could not distinguish whothor wo wore ovon flrod upon from tho ronr, but I marked a rod flash at ono of tho windows In our front, and henrd behind mo n sharp wall of agotjy, "If nny man. drops, pick him up!'' I callod, and at that moment wo npraus up tho stops, and began pound ing loudly ngnliiBt tho door. 1 "Opon up!" shouted tho Lieutenant, anxiously. "Drennan, opon up, quick! It's Caton with help." I though It novor would opon. A volley crashed Into us, nnd Sands pitched down upon his faco, clutching ut tho man next him as ho foil. I glanced back anxiously n dark, con funod mass of mon, without military formation, .woro running ncross tho opon Bpaco toward us. t "'llout faco!" I shouted. "Ixjnd nt will lire I" I Wo poured ono scattortng volloy Into them. It halted tholr movomont for n moment, and thou tho door opened a scant crack. "Is this you, Caton?" "Yea; for Clod's sake, opon up!" Tho heavy door owung slowly In ward, nnd with a wild rush to bo ttrst, wo surged headlong Into tho hall. CHAPTER XXX. A Union of Yank and Koo. As tho heavy door clanged behind ua Bomo ono upon tho outside bognn ,poundlng upon It, whllo with deadly chug n bullet crashed Into tho oaken panel. "Honnorwottor!" shouted n deop .volco. wildly. "Captain, I am yot out mlt dor bulluts." With a crash 1 flung asldo tho thick 'iron bar which niiBWorod iib a lock, and drow lu. tho Sorgennt, yot panting heavily from his hard run. "Hy Chlmluy. dot tob a narrow nquoak," ho oxclnlmod, na t released my grasp upon him and hurled tho door back Into Its placo. A dim light swinging suspended from tho celling of tho great wldo hull rovcnlod cloarly tho Bceno within. As I turned I bohold Ilrennuu for the llrsl time, and his faco remains a memory, Rtandltig with hln back to the Btalr rulllng, a rovolvor grasped tightly In either hand, tits eyes burning, his heXovGSTOOTOFAGRAr Jacket f run jo lpiiicuiuk. i. vviLLiftmoiyw v rountenanco flushed with anger, and clouded by doubt, ho appeared almost like ono dlstractod. At sight of mo ho gave up all attempt to control his raging tompor. "What does nil this mean?" ho de manded honrBoly. "Who are thoso mon 7 Caton, If you have botrayod ub, by God, I will ahoot you dead." "Thoro Is no botrayal," roturned the Lieutenant, coolly. "Thoso mon aro friends." "Prlonda7" ho laughod cynically. "Friends? In that uniform, and you attired In a Robot cavalry Jacket? Frlontls? that follow over thoro?" and ho pointed derisively nt mo with his pistol barrel. "Uarnn you, but I bo llovo you aro all a pack of lying thloves!" Caton's faco burned. Ho took ono stop toward him, hln hands clinched, and whon ho spoko his elenr volco Hhook with lntonso Indignation. "Major Iironnan," ho Bnid coldly de liberate, "you are my superior olllcer, but you go beyond all privileges of rank In thoso words. I say Uiobo mon nro frlonds; thoy havo Bunk tho Issuob of war in ordor that thoy may nnBwor tho call of humanity. If you dnro lra poach my motives nny further, l shall hurl back tho cowardly Insult In your faco. I will tako no Btich words, sir, from any living man." Uronnan lookod at him, hln lips struggling with tho uttoranco that would not como. Knowing woll tho dangor of bucIi dolay, I hastily pushed asldo tho ring of mon, nnd frontod him, dotormlnod to end this foolish ness then nnd thoro. "Major Iironnan," I said firmly, Ig noring his offortB to sllcnco me, "you must listen to ronBon whothor you wish to do so or not. My troopers nro all around you; I havo two mon to your ono In this house, nnd can en force my will If necessary. Now mark what I say wo nro not horo in nngor or In war, but to help you In tho pro tection of ondangorod women. Wo captured your courier, havo dlspatchod ono of our own numbor Into tho Fod oral camp for aid, and havo fought our way In horo to stand bosido you nnd your mon In defonco of this houso ngnlnst thoso rufllnns without You can uso us or not, Just ns you ploaso; it rostB with you to say whoth or wo shall bo comrados In nrma on this occasion, or whether I shall as Bumo command by tho power of forco which I chanco to control." Ho seomod uttorly unablo to grasp my full moaning, to comprohond tho situation. "You moan, you would fight with ub? undor my commaml?" ho asked In credulously. "I offor my Borvlcos undor your or dora," 1 ropliod cloarly, "and thoso mon In gray will oboy mine." I actually thought he would oxtond Mb hand, but Bomo ramombrnnco sud denly rostrnlnod him. "I of com-80, Cnptaln Wayno," ho stammered, at length, "I I must ne copt your offer. I I nra grateful for It, but I shall Insist upon ono thing; thoro must bo a Anna settlement of tho porsonnl mutter existing bet,wcon us. 1 am not willing to walvo my righto In thla." "Thoro Is no occasion for your doing so, Blr," I answered coldly, for I con Bldorod tho rcforonco nt thnt momont In oxtromoly 111 tanto. t'Whon our work horo hnB boon accomplished, you will llud mo very much nt your scrv Ico." Ho bowod gravely. ' "I am exceedingly glad wo under stand each other," ho said. "May 1 ask tho slzo of your command?" "Sergeant," I questioned, "whom have wo lost?" "Nolson voa kilt, I dinks; dor Kid Is not horo yot, und Sanda vos vound ed bad." "Very woll; thon, Major Uronnan, I tondor you Blxtoen men lit for duty, besides myself. You nro doubtloss acquainted with tho houso, nnd can assign us to positions whoro our serv ices will prove of groatost vnluo." Ho had completely recovered his seir-coutrol by UiIb tlmo, and spoko now with tho torso sontencos of a tried soldier. "I thnnlc you, Captain Wnyno, and will ask you to chooso four mon nnd assume command of tho oast sldo of tho houso. Caton, you tako tho sumo numbor for dofonso of tho roar. Cap tain, what la your sorgeant's numo?" "Ubors, an experienced German sol dier." "I should havo suspected Ills na tionality. Lot him havo comninnd of four moro, nnd covor tho west win dows. I shnll defend tho frout myself, as I havo boon doing." "Very well," I answered shortly, for his eyoa had remained fixed upon mo all tho tlmo ho was talking. "Tako tho positions asBlgued you, IndB, and do not permit a man from without to put foot on tho vornuda. If thoy onco succeed In getting undor covor of Urn porch roof, thoy will glvo us plenty of trouble." Tho position for defonco naelgnod to my caro took mo Into tho dining room of tho mansion a Bpaclous, al most Bquaro apartment, contnlnlng throo largo windows reaching nearly to tho floor. Tho outsldo blinds had been closed, but tho glass In tho panes was mostly broken, and thcro woro other evidences that tho firing had been both heavy and continuous. I found tvijo soldlors of Drcnnan's party within, both lying upon tho floor, and peering cautiously 'through tho aper tures of tho blinds. Thoy glanced up at us with undisguised amazement. "It's all right, ladB," I said heartily. "Novor mind our colors tonight; wo aro all fighting tho samo way." I had taken with mo Dungay, to gether with threo of my troopors, and after placing thorn aa advantageously aB poBBlblo, I strotchod myself out on tho floor, and applying an oyo to a convenient opening took careful sur vey of tho situation without This prosont cessation of activity waB, I folt convinced, only temporary. I did not expect, from all I could now seo, that tho final assault would tako placo upon my sido of tho building. Tho mnsslng of tho main body of tho bo BiegerB boforo tho front ontranco, to gether with tho prcnonco thoro of tholr londors, wns Btifllciont to con vince mo thnt this was to provo tho principal point of attack, and from my knowlcdgo of such arfnlrs I decided that probably tho first signs of return ing tlnyllght would bo tho Blgnal for n determined assault. Tho durk Interior of such a houso as this offorcd too many dofonslvo advantages which tho daylight would largely overcome. "Havo you hnd somo hard fighting?" I naked of tho man lying next mo, a manly-looking fellow, wearing tho yel low chovrona of a corporal of cavalry. "Thoy pitched In mighty strong at first, sir," ho anBWorcd civilly. "An' wo hnd bo fow men thoy pretty noarly rushed us, for sure. It was our ro pentln' rifles thot drovo 'om back." Wo rolapned Into Bllonce, ench In tent upon tho uncertainty without.

Would ho Inform thorn of our anlval? Ho could scarcely hope to keep the fact long hidden, for they would cer tainly seo somo of my gray-Jackots, nnd nsk questions. "Thoy Boom to bo pcckln' away pret ty lively oat In fiont," said tho cor poral, Interrupting my reverie "Yes," I ndmlttod. "In my Judg ment that will prove tho main point of nttnek. How many mon did tho Ma jor havo thore boforo wo camo?" "Samo as horo, sir." "And four of mine; thnt makes sev en nltogethor, counting hlntBclf, and two of theso ought to bo posted In tho upper story. Ho'b bound to need moro, that firing 1b very Hteady." "Ho's got tho women londlu' for him, nnd that helps some" "Tho women?" 1 naked, staring nt him In nmnzement "Do you mean to say Mrs. Drennan and Colla Minor aro thoro In that front room?" "Don't know who thoy nro, sir two mlghtly fine lookln' young ladles, an old lady with whlto hair, an' a big, rough-lookln' fomnle, sir. Tho last ono wus hnndlln' n gun to uont tho bnnd Just aforo you camo." "And ho keopa thorn thoro, cxposod to nil this heavy tiro? What can tho man mean? Why, Corporal, that con atnnt Bhootlng must havo complotoly shattered tho windows, Thoro could bo no Bnfoty for any ono excopt lylug flat upon tho floor." "Wol, 'taln't quite so bad aa that, sir," ho protested, seemingly anxious to shield his of n cor from ndverso criticism. "You seo It's a double par lor, with a wall an' foldln' doors ntween, an' tho women aro all In tho rear room. Of course, It's almighty dark back there, an' thoy has to lie pretty close, but .blamed It I know of any hotter plnco for them. This house hain't got no collar." A man groped his way In from tho lighted hall, but halted close bosido the door, unablo to perceive us in the darkness. "Is Captain Wayno horo?" ho asked. "Yes; what Is It?" "Major Drennan has had two of his men hit, Blr, and wishes you to sparo him threo of yours, unless you aro hot ly pressed." "All right; there's nothing doing here," I answered, instantly determin ing upon my course. "Corporal, I shall leavo you In command of this sldo for a fow minutes. I bollovo 1 can bo of moro immediate value else where Bungay, you and Elliott como with me." Tho lower hall, having no windows in it, waa the only safe placo In tho building, and horo a light had been kopt burning. Tho door which, aa I Judged, must lead Into tho back par lor, waa closed, and fastened upon tho Inside At least It rofuscd to ylold to ray hand whon tried. Another in front stood very slightly ajar. "Roport to Drennan," I whispered Into Jed's ear, "and forget to mention I am with you. I desire to Investigate matters for mysolf a fow moments." Ho nodded to Intimate that ho un derstood, nnd then wo crept, ono at a time, Into tho front apartment, hug ging tho floor closely to keep beneath tho range of tho hullots which swept every now and then through tho broken windows, nnd chugged Into tho wall behind us. I was tho last to wrigglo in through tho narrow open ing, and rolling Instantly out of tho tiny bar of light, I lay silent for a moment, endeavoring to get my bear ings. I was determined upon Just ono thing to obtain speech with tho worn on, learn, If possible, tholr exact sit uation, and. If I found, It nocessnry, InslBt upon their bettor protection. An lnsnno Jealousy of mo should not con tlnuo to exposo them to unnecessary porll. Drennan was directly across tho room from whoro I lay. I could hear his volco Issuing 'low, Btern orders. "It you'll only keop down you're willtVrfJC" All a Pack of Lying Thieves!" safo enough," ho said gruflly. "There hasn't a shot como within a foot of tho sill. Tho ground slopes out yon dor, and thoso fellows can't llro low. Put tho now men at tho central win dow, and let them shoot at ovory flash thoy see Dradley will pass back their empty guns." I wondered how long our supply of ammunition would hold out with such a fusillade kopt up, but ventured upon no protest, for I was already groping my way through tho darkness along tho Inner wall. Furnlturo lny over turned In ovory direction, nnd I ex perienced considerable difficulty in making progress through tho debris without attracting nttoutiou. A groat square piano atood directly across tho ontranco to thu back parlor, left by tho drawing nearly together of the sliding doors. I waited until Dradley had crawled through with an arm ful of loaded guns, nnd then entered also, creeping silently between the piano logs. As I did so n bullet struck tho caso above, and tho wholo Instru ment trembled to tho Impact, giving forth a strango monn, as If In pnln. Somo ono was groaning In tho cor ner nt my left, and supposing tho wounded to bo lying there, I turned moro toward tho right, keeping ns closo as possible to tho wall, hopeful 1 might como In contact with ono of tho women. 1 do not honestly know why 1 did this really I had no excuse, oxcopt my natural distrust of Drennan, coupled with an eager destre to bo of sorvlco to the woman of my hoart. Thoro was little to guide me In the search, as tho llnmo of tho discharging rifles did not penetrate horo. Onco I hoard the rustle of a skirt whllo a faint sound of whispering reached mo from tho rear of tho roons. Then my hand, groping blindly along tho wall, touched tho lower fold of a dress. It folt llko coarso calico to my fingers. "Mrs. Dungay," I whlsporod cau tiously, "Is this you?" Tho woman started at sound of my voice, but replied in tho samo low tono: "Thot's my name; who mought yo bo?" "A friend of youre, and of your hus band," I answered, for I doubted if sho would recall my name "Did you know Jed wns horo?" "My man7 Hlven bo pralaed! But I'll knock thor head off ther llttlo dovll If ever I git my hand on him, I will thot. Whar'B thor llttlo Imp bin all ther tlmo?" "Hurting for you, and crying his cyea out," I answered, smiling to my solf In tho darknoss. "Whoro la Mrs. Drennan?" "Jlat beyond me, thar In ther cor ner." , As sho spoko a bullet whlzzod past ub, having missed tho obstruction of tho piano. I could feel tho wind stirred by Its passage, whllo Ub pe culiar hum told me it was a Mlnlo ball. "You are too far out from tho wall," I protested. "You aro In range" "Can't help It If I be I'm yero tor tako thor guns from ther sojer, an' pass 'em back." I cropt alowly along boyond her, keeping closo to tho wall, but had progressed hardly more than a couplo of yards, when I felt a hand lightly touch mo. "I recognlzo your voice," said a Boft whisper, "and am so glad you aro here." Who can guess tho motives that In spire a woman? Thla waa my wel come, whero I had anticipated cold ness nnd repollant pride CHAPTER XXXI. A Conversation In the Dark. In my extreme surprise at tho in timate cordiality expressed by her words and manner I failed In utter ance Anticipating coldness, lndlffor cnce1(jppsslbly even resentment at my presuming to approach her, I was In stead greeted by an unstudied warmth of welcome that mado my heart beat flercoly. "Surely I am not mistaken," sho questioned, rendered doubtful by my silence "Is not thla Captain Wayno?" "Thero Is no mistake," I hastened to assure her, "but I had anticipated from our laBt mooting a far less cor dial greeting." "Oh," oho exclaimed, with a light laugh, "and Ib that all? Yet suroly, If I was to believe my own eyes I was perfectly Justified In my actions then. However, Captain, I havo boon forced to reallzo tho truth of that altuation, and am now disposed to mako up to you In kindness for all my unjust suspicions." "I am more than delighted to learn that cloud la no longer to overshadow us. Miss Minor has mado a full ex planation, then?" "You have been completely exon erated, and reatored to my good grncca." As she spoko, I becamo awaro that sho was busily engaged upon somo task, and whon she ended I felt tho steel of a gun-barrel touch my hand. "Please pass this to Maria," sho said calmly, "nnd hand me back the ono sho has." "You aro loading, thon?" I asked, as I complied with her request. "Wo havo all been busy. Isn't it terrible? I was so frightened at first, but now they toll mo that you and. your mon havo come, thoro Is no lon ger danger of those horrible creatures getting in hero." "You know, then, that I was in tho house?" "I was told somo noblo Confederates had accompanied Lloutenant Caton back to aid us, but your name waa not mentlonod." "Then my appearance must havo proven a complete surprlso?" "Yes, and no," sho nnswered frank ly. "I was not sure It waa you. of course, and I did not venturo to ask, but I know you wore In tho neighbor hood, and that euch an act would bo in a way characteristic. I waa cer tain you would como If you knew, and I I, woll really,' I hoped It was." In splto of n slight effort at restraint I groped In tho darkness until I touched her hand. For the moment sho pcrmittod mo to retain It, aa if unconsciously, within my grasp. "Why?" I questioned, scarcely rely ing upon my own voice "Oh, ono always trusts friends moro readily than strangers, and I havo seen you In dnnger before, nnd pos sess such confidence in your courago nnd resource" "But Miss Minor took particular care to Inform me you felt llttlo or no Interest In me that you never even spoko of mo excopt aB she compelled you to do so." For a moment Bho did not answer. "How constant tho firing continues." sho said at last, as I sat struggling dumbly with temptntion. (TO I1E CONTINUED.) Death Preferrod. A.
