or think what that look fn Tom's kind-

. anembered that the men whose hand
held ]tors so firmly had ministered to
I:her dying father, had held the cep of
water to his parched lips, and wipe'.1
alto flowing blood frau his race, awl
spoken to him kindly rvolt1t of sympa-

Herts was the answer to her pmt.':sr,

:and took him."
And 11Xattule's eyes flashed with any-
Ii-ditiug but affection• upon her lover, who
for a moment could not spears for his
•surprise.
Curiously he looked at Tom, seeking
for something on which to fasten a
, •doubt, for he did not wish Maude to
have cause for gratitude to the North-
ern officer. But the longer he gazed
the less lie doubted. The face of the

14Martie s face was white with. passion
as she listened to this petrouising

•enmed supet•iority over the men who
smiled a_ very pecnlinr kind of sable, as
ice bowed his acknowledgment of Ar -

there that Mande was head and front
of the arrangement—that for 'l'our's

whose inferiority never struck her so

though never suspecting the- whole
truth, did kno+iv tont fu's gratitude for
past and present kiednesst received from
. that Southern family rens mainly due
to Maude, whom he admired more and
more, as the days wore on, and he

nsanuelt as 110 would be more secure

would be likely to invade the sanctity

for , e ndut8 to the I c (i
eral lines a letter, which would tell the
anxious friends in Itockla,nd or his rote-
ty. This letter, rvltich was directed, to
Airs, William Mather, had been -the di-
lect /wails of 'Tom's ascertaining that
his brother-in-law was not only alive,
but had once shared in the hospitali-
ties now so freely extended to llimeelf.
After learning this. Tom could not for-
bear tearing open the envelope, and add-
ing 111 1), postscript:
"I have just heard •that Will was,
not many weeks since, a gm'st in this
eery 110118e where I ant so kindly cared
for. (led bless the noble man who has
saved so maty livers, and the beautiful
girl, his niece. I cannot say enough in
her potise. I do believe site -would die

thoughts and feelings in the hearts or

prived of latches' sneit'ty. She is a very
queen among {women.”
TIult postscript was a most unlucky
thought. The first part of Tom's letter
had been so guarded with regard to the
people who had befriended lout that Ito
