He wailed armed his Bath house, but not a man was visible. His heart was full d a new and nh•ange excitement that night, and. as before, he threw on bis o vercoat and fuss and took a rapid walk around the garrison, gaging np into the starry heaven. and drinking in gnat draughts of the pure, bracing air.

Ile rose and bowed to her, extending his hand as he did so, and knowing that his heart was thumping and his color rising as he felt the soft, warm touch of her slender fingers in his grasp. She, too, had flushed—any one could see it, though the lamps were not turned high, nor was the firelight strong. "Mies Travers has come to take tea very quietly with me, Mr. Hayne— .be is so soon to return to the east—and now 1 want you to stay and join us. No one will be here but the major: and we will have a lovely time with our music. You will, won't you"" "So soon to return to the east!" How harsh, bow strange and the words sounded! How they seemed to op- press him and prevent his reply! He Mood a moment dazed and vaguely wor- ried; he could not explain it. He looked from Mrs. Waldron's kind face to the sweet, flashed, lovely features there so near him, and something told him that he could Dever let them go and find even hopeor content in lifeagain. How. why had she so strangely come into his lonely life, radiant, beautiful, bewildering as some suddenly blazing star in the darkest Corner of the heavens? Whence had Dome this strange power that enthralled him? He gazed into her sweet face. with its downcast, troubled eyes. and then, in bewilderment, turned to Mrs. Waldron: "I-1 had no idea Miss Travers was go- ing east again just now. It seems only a few days since she came." "It is over a month; but all the name this is a sadden decision. I knew noth- ing of it until yesterday. You said Mn. Rayner was better today. Nellie?" ••Yes, a little; but she is far from well. I think the captain will go. too, just as soon as he can arrange for leave of ab- .enos," was the low toned answer. He had released, or rather she had with- drawn, her hand, and he still stood there. fascinated. His eyes could not quit their gaze. She going away?— She? oh, it could not bel What --what would life become without the sight of that radiant face, that slender. graceful. girlish form? 'Is not this very nnezpe tedie' he struggled to say. "I thought—I heard yon were to spend several months herr." "It was sn intended, lir. Hayne: bat my sister's health requires speedy change. She has been growing worm over since we came, and she will not get well herr." ":end when do you go?" he asked. blankly. "Just am soon as we can pack; though we may wait two or three days for a— tm a telegram." There wee a complete bask In theow e maNion for a hill quarter of a anisate —not syi a long time in itself, but un- eonvegomally long under each Mecum - stances.

Nellie. 1 am the sieve of my nook, and she knows entitling of Mr,-Ilsiasi being here to tea with as: so 1 must tell her and avert diaster." And with this barefaced --statement on her bps and oonacience, where it rested with equal lightness, that exemplary lady quitted the room. In the sanctity of the connubial chamber that evening, some hours bates, she thus explained her ace tion to her silent spouse: "Right or wrong, 1 meant that those two young people should have a chance to know each utter. I have been con- vinced for three weeks that abe is being feared into this New York match, and for the last week that she is wretchedly unhappy. 'You my you believe him a wronged and injured non, only you can't prove it, and you have acid that nothing could be Soogood for him in this life as a reward for all his bravery and fortitude under fearful trial►. Then Nellie Travers isn't too good for him, sweet as she is, and I don't care who calls me a matchmaker." But with Mrs. Waldron away the two appeared to have made but halting pro grecs towards friendship. With all bet outspoken pluck at school and at home, Miss Traver, was strangely iU at esar and embarrassed now. Mr. Hayne war the fire to gain self control and to en- deavor to bring the conversation back to a natural channel. It was a struggle; but be had grown 1 to smug- gles. He could not imagine that a girl whom he had met only 000e or twice should have for him anything more than the vaguest and most casual interest He well knew by this time how deep and vehement was the interest she had aroused in his heart; but it would never do to betray himself so soon. He strove to interest her bn reference to the music she would (tear, and to learn from her where they were going. This she an- swered. They would go no further east than St. Louis or Chicago. They might go south as far as Nashville until mid-May. As for the summer it would depend on the captain and his leave of absence. It was all vague and unset. teed. Mrs. Rayner was so wretched that her husband was convinced that she ought to leave for the states as soon as possible, and of course "she" must go with her. All the gladdens. brightness, vivacity he bad seen and heard of as ber marked seemed gone; and yet she wanted to speak with him— wanted to be with him. What could be wrong? he asked himself. It was not until Mrs. Waldron's step was heard re- turning that she nerved herself to sod- den, almost desperate effort. She start- led him with her "Mr. Hayne. there is something I must tell you before I go. If no ty occur, Ill write it." And those were the words that had been haunting him all the evening. for they were not again alone, and he had no chance to ask a question. What Could she mean? For years be had been living a lite of stern self denial: but long before his promotion tL last penny of tate obli- gation that, justly or otherwise, had been laid upon his shoulders was ptuid with interest. He was a man free and self respecting. strong, resolute, and pm - sewed of an in that never would have been his had his life run on in the same easy, trusting. happy-go- lucky style in which he had spent the fire two years of his army career. But in his isolation be had allowed himself no thought of anything that could for a moment distract him from the stern pur- pose to which he bad devoted every energy. Ile would win back, command, compel. the respect of his comrades— would bring to confusion those who had sought to pull him down; and until that stood accomplished he would know no other claim. In the exile of the moun- tain station he saw no women but the wives of his senior officers; and they merely bowed when they happened to meet him; some did not even do that Now at last he bad met and yielded to the fret of two before whom even the bravest and the strongest go down infallibly—Love and Death. Suddenly, but irresistibly, the sweet face and thrilling tones of that young girl had seised and Oiled his heart, to the utter exclusion of every other pas- - slot; and just in ptroportion to the empti- ness and yearning of his life before their meeting was the intensity of the loveand longing that possessed him now. It eras useless to try and analyse the suddennw and snbtilty of is approach; the power of love had oven:metered him.

Mrs. Rayner, ill in mind and body. had yieklxl to her lord's entreaties and determined to start eastward with her mister without delay. Packing was already begun. Miss Tra- vers had promised herself that she would within thirty-six hours put Mr. Hayne in posses/Mg of certain facts or theories which in her opinion bore strongly upon the "clearing up" of the case against him: Mr. Hayne had determined that he would see Maj. Waldron on the coining day and begin active efforts towards the restoration of his social rights: the doc- tor had about decided on a new proj- ect for inducing G'iancy to unbosom himself of what he knew; Capt. Rayner, tired of the ic.tg struggle, was almost ready to welcome anything which should establish his subaltern's innocence, and was on the point of asking for six months' leave just as soon as he had arranged for Clancy's Anal discharge from service: he had reasons for staying at the poet until that Hibernian house - held was fairly and squarely removed; and Mrs. Clancy's plan was to take Mike to the distant east, "where elm had i int t" There were other schemes and Eroycts. no doubt. but these mainly concerned our leading i , and one and all they were put to the right about by the events of the following day.

A court martial compoeel mainly of field officers was ordered there to assemble for the trial of an old captain of cavalry whose propensity it was not so much to get drunk as never to get drunk without con- comitant publicity and discovery. It was a rare thing for the old war dog to take so much as a gleam of wine; he went for months without it; but the instant he began to drink he was moved to do or say something disreputable, and that was the trouble now. He was an unlucky old trooper, who had risen from the low- est grades, fought with credit, and even, at times. 1 his regiment dur- ing the war: but war records could not save him w hen be wouldn't save himself. and he lied to go. The court was or- dered. and the result was a elusion. The colonel, his adjutant and Maj. Stannard were to drive to town during the afternoon and take the east bound train. leaving Maj. Waldron in command o/ the poet; but before guard mounting a telegram was received, which was sent from department headquarters the evening before. announcing that one of the omeers detailed for the court was seriously ill and directing Maj. Waldron to take his place. So it resulted in the pest bring left to the command of the senior captain present for duty. an.l that man raw ('apt. Romeo.

"Couldn't the women drive out from town after dark, send the carriage back. and have it call for her again in the morn- ing?' asked Buxton. •Possibly. Still. it isn't a proved fact that a woman spent the night at Haynes. even if a carriage was seen conning out. You've got hold of some Sudsville gossip. probably," replied Rosa. "I have, hare 1?
