It would possibly settle some little matters in his mind, which were beginning to worry him. And thinking thus, he reached the gate that opened into the spacious grounds of Lyndhurst. Then the house loomed up. Lights could still be seen about the house, though the hour was close on to midnight. He wondered at this, for they retired early as a usual thing. Upon entering the house John felt a deep satisfaction over his escape Sbmehow he seemed to associate it with Mollle why not, when she was the prime cause of his adventure? He advanced to the library; a voice fell upon his ears, a voice that was peculiar, and which he knew belonged to the odd genius of a darky who had driven the mule by means of which Worden conducted his prisoner of war d to the house. The special courier had arrived ahead of him. Colonel John halted Just beyond the door. A mirror in the hall reflected the' interior of the library, and he could see that Mollie was alone with Wordens messenger, who was fumbling in the pockets of his ragged army coat.

Poor John! know prejudice blinded me. As for Basil Worden, I shall never speak to him again. He has created an abyss between us that will live forever, and cannot be bridged. Oh! John, why did yon come to arouse. these strange feelings in my heart! I thought I was devoted body and soul to the cause, but now I ffel strange doubts arising. We are losing the game perhaps his side is the right one after all. Sho seemed to sadly muse, and the unseen witness was wondering how he could disclose his presence without giving her too great a shock, when suddenly she looked directly at him. He advanced. Her pallor gave way to a rosy blush she even looked glad for a moment, though quickly allowing a shade of anger to sweep over her face. "So, you are alive after all was this a trick on your part to unmask my feelings? It would be contemptible If true. she flashed. "What you say is quite just. As it happens I have Just escaped from your friends, leaving them in the old house with some wounds to care for and an She was gone, and Colonel John, left alone lu the library, paced up ard down for half an hour wrapped In thought, and Judging from the smile upon his face, he must have bad pleasant cogitations. Then he went out to give more positive orders to the men on guard, having an idea that the venomous Major Worden might make still another attempt to unhorse him. Morning came without further adventure, and with It a sudden order from headquarters calling for Colonel Johns presence. He was not even given a chance to see Mollie again, but looking back as he galloped down the avenue he saw a fluttering white kerchief held in a hand that protruded from the shutters of her room, and raised bis cap in answer. Reaching Sherman's quarters, he received instructions to get his command in readiness for immediate action. Already a relief detachment bad gone forward to assume the guardianship of Lyndhurst, and John would thus have all that was left of his command. Upon leaving Atlanta their course was northwest, almost directly through the rugged defiles of the great chain of mountains that guards the border line between the three states, Georgia, Alabama and Tennessee. Few knew whither they were going. Sherman kept his secret well. Among the officers, however, the facts were known. In his march from Chattanooga to Atlanta the Federal general had been compelled to fight almost every foot of the way. To accomplish this. Indeed, to remain even at Atlanta for months it was necessary that his line of communication with Chattanooga remain care. Is this for me?" she asked, receiving it. He done said so, missy.

Colonel John moved a step nearer, and, unobserved by either, stood in the doorway, his gaze fastened upon the face of the Southern girl, his wife by the fortune of war. It was as though be expected to read his fate there. Over her usually composed features there shot a sudden look of alarm, of even horror, as she read Worden's message. Can it be possible they have done this terrible thing? Why, I saw him here only a few hours ago, alive and well. At eleven It is now half past. And Worden has done this he expects to win my eBteem by such an act. Colonel John was an enemy to my country, but an honorable foe. To me he was a friend. Oh! I cannot believe this It is a dream. He cannot be dead that would be too cruel. 1 have seen a cousin and a brother go to bat ilc never to return, and now the same fate overtakes this friend." She suddenly caught the darky's arm.

There promised to be some lively times on the scenes of former desperate battles. Colonel John and his regiment had been ordered to join the column about to move back to the relief of the brave general who had been left among the mountains of Georgia to guard Altoona Pass, a point of immense value to Sherman lu keeping up communications with his base of supplies at Chattanooga. Messages had been received from General Corse, messages that told of overwhelming foes against which he and his little command were holding out with a bravery born of desperation. So abrupt was their departure, owing to the need of haste, that Colonel John was not given a chance to have another interview with the girl whom the fortune of war had made his wife. He sent her a message, however. Just as they were leaving the city. The march was one of haste. Should Altoona Pass be taken by the enemy, much of Sherman's hard work must be done over again. That meant desperate fighting, hills n the climbing the granite-face- d midst of a deadly fire, of awful fights all this and more if brave Corse had been compelled to surrender before Sherman arrived to succor him.
