The society columns of a newspaper which he had read that morning at breakfast had furnished this fragmentary outline, and hie Imagination had rounded It Into completeness. How Darlston got through with the realities of the black hours that followed he never knew. He felt like a man about to be shot from the gibbet into eternity.

But calm reflection caused a revulsion of feeling and In a measure reatored hla faith in Alice. He tried to feel that the light in which he had been led to regard her was a false one. Probably the Influences brought to bear upon her had been more powerful than he could conceive. Her father might have coerced her Into the betrothal.

The stampede referred to was caused by an accident. One of the volunteers, who was not used to handling firearms, while In the act of examining his weapon, allowed it to go off. The bullet went between his toes, and it was all so sudden that he thought the enemy surely had him. He let out a yell and started to run. Several hundred negroeB who were lounging In the vicinity, curiously waiting for developments, heard the shot and yell and started a precipitate rush for safety.
