It would possibly st tile 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 I.yndliurst. Then the house loomed up. Lights could still he seen about the house, though the hour was close on to midnight. He wondered at this, for they re-tired early ax a usual thing. Upon entering the house John felt a deep satisfaction over his rsrape Sbntehow 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 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 Mollle was alone with Worden's messenger, who was fumbling in the pockets of his ragged army coat.

Colonel John and his regiment had been ordered to Join the column about to move hack to the relief of the brave general who had been left among the mountains of Georgia to guard A- ltoona Pass, a point of immense value to Sherman in 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 hi and his little command were holdini out with a bravery born of deepen-tlon. So abrupt waa their departure-- ' ing to the need of haste, that Cblond John was not given a chance to have another interview with the girl whom the fortune of war had made bie wife He sent her a message, however, Just aa they were leaving the city.

Colonel John moved a step nearer, and, unobserved by either, stood In the doorway, hla gaze fastened upon the face of the Southern girl, hla wife by the fortune of war. It was aa though he expected to read his fate there. Over her usually composed features there shot a sudden look of alarm, of even horror, as she read Wordens 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 esteem by such an act. Colonel John was an enemy to my country, but an honorable foe. To me he was a friend. Oh!
