There, in the open doorway, as in a frame, dressed almost entirely in white, her graceful figure and fair young face clearly deflued against the dark background, stood Edith Brennan. o CHAPTER XXXVI. The Last Good-by- . She exhibited no outward sign of agitation as she left her position and slowly advanced toward us. Daintily lifting her skirts to keep them from contact with the weeds under foot, her head poised proudly, her eyes a hit disdainful of It all, she paused before Caton. Lieutenant," she questioned ill a clear tone which seemed to command an answer, I have always found you an Impartial friend. Will you kindly Inform me as to the true meaning of all this?" Ho hesitated, hardly knowing what to reply, hut her imperious eyes were upon him they insisted, and he stum-aierelamely: "Two of the Rontlomen, madam, were about to settle a slight disagreement by means of the code." "Were about?" she echoed, Bcornful Of all deceit. Surely I heard shots as I came through the orchard? "One fire has been exchanged," he reluctantly admitted. "And Captain Wayne has been Sounded?" I was not aware until that oment d and I doubt not he read within them that he would forfeit all her respect if he failed to obey. Yet he yielded with exceeding poor grace. As it seems impossible to continue." he admitted bitterly, 1 supHe turned pose 1 may ts well go. nnd fronted me, his eyes glowing But understand, sir, this Is merely a eessation, not an ending. I bowed gravely, not daring to trust my voice in speech, lest I should yield to the temptation of my own temper. Captain Wayne, she said, glancing back across "his broad blue shoulder, and 1 thought there was a new quality lu her voice, the sting had some way gone out of it, I shall esteem it a kindness if you will call upon me before you depart." With pleasure," I hastened to reply, my surprise at the request almost robbing me of speech, "but I shall be compelled to leave at once, as my troop is already under orders. "1 shall detain you for only a moment, but after what you have am passed through on our behalf unwilling you should depart without realizing our gratitude. You will find mo In the library. Come. Frank. am ready now.". We remained motionless, watching them until they disappeared around the corner of the shed, Brennan walked with stern face, Ills step heavy, she with averted eyes, a slight smile of triumph curling her lip. Then Moorehouse stooped and picked up the derringer the Major had thrown away. he "By thunder, but shes right! I tell you exclaimed emphatically. that'B a mighty fine woman. Blame face us like a me, If she didnt queen." No one answered, and without exchanging another word we walked together to the house. There 1 found the remnant of my troop standing beside their horses, chaffing wtlh a dozen Idle Yankee cavalrymen who were lounging on the wide steps. The time had come wliea 1 must 1 pled mud of the yard, surrounded by a group of Federal officers. Within 'was my commander, the old gray hero of Virginia, together with the great silent soldier of the North. Few about me spoke as we waited in restless agony. No one addressed me, and I think there must have been a look in my face which held them dumb. I know not how long I waited, standing beside my horse, with head half bowed upon his neck, seeing the figures about me as In a dream. At last the door was flung open, and those within came forth. He was in advance of them all. In that pale, stern, kindly face, and within the depths of those sorrowful gray eyes, I read instantly the truth the Army of Northern Virginia was no more. Yet with what calm dignity did this defeated chieftain pass down that blue lane, his head erect,1 his eyes undimmed as dauntless In that awful hour of surrender as when he rode before his cheering legions of fighting men. Only as he came to where 1 stood, and caught the look of suffering upon my face, did he once falter, and then I noted no more than the slight twitching of his lips beneath the short gray beard. "Captain Wayne, he said, with all 1 e his shall have courtesy, to trouble you to ride to General Hills division and request him to cease firing at once. I turned reluctantly away from him, knowing full well in my heart I was bearing my last order, and rode at a hard trot down the road between long I lines of waiting Federal infantry. scarcely so much as saw them, for my bead was bent' low over the saddle pommel, and my eyes were blurred with tears. old-tim- The sun lay hot and golden over the dusty roatfs and fenceless fields. The air was vocal with blare of trumpets and roll of drums, while everywhere the eye rested upon blue lines and long columns of marching troops. 1 formed one of a little gray squad moving slowly southward a mere fragment of the fighting men of the Confederacy, making their way homeward as best they might. As the roads forked 1 left them, for here out .paths 'diverged, and it chanced I was the only one whose hope lay west ward. Silently, thoughtfully I trudged on for an hour through the thick rec dust. My horse, sorely wounded In our last skirmish, limped painfully behind me, his bridle-reiflung Carelessly over my arm. Out yonder where the suq pointed the way with streams of fire. I was to take up life anew. Life! What was there left tc me in that word? A deserted, despoil ed farm alone awaited my coming; hardly a remembered taco, scarcely s future hope. The glitter of a passing troop of cavalry drew my mind for ar instant to Edith Brennan, but crushed the thought.
