The rapid thud of iron shod feet upon the grassy yard below, the merry, care- : less wBistling of a rollicking rou lade, the unwonted sound of men's voices in laughter. Sans Souci bad al most forgotten the sound. How cruelly jarring it sounded now. -The laughter of an enemy is not contagious. Its inao r. lent security set every nerre in Liza's overwrought system a-quiTer. They must know that their men were not there to strike awe into their esols. What next? "Liza, you are not going to taint Your lips are as white as the walls. f Please don't faint, Liza. . rV .Mamie laid violent hands upon her friend's shoulder and shook her almost angrily.

" Without other' preamble than a brief ' military salnto, with two fingers upon .tithe Visor of bis cap, the sergeant in ' command of the squad halted before the . white faced group upon the gallery of Sans Souci.

' Mrs. Strong. trembling with wrath at ' the mcnlege. but blushing with shame for the duplicity that made her plant her feet yet more firmly over the scars ' "Solbear's clumsy carpentry had left on the smooth planks of the gallery floor, repeated the words in a series of gasps. - " "Reba and weapons. - ."We are all rebels here," she wared her white hand com prehensi rely, "but , . as for weapons, I suppose that means" The lie would not come at her bid " ding.

Tho sergeant executed a pro lan eed -whistle. - s surprised . sort of whistle, and withdrew with his squad behind a clump of crape myrtles to par ley. The women on the gallery, mo lionless as graven images, watched them in breathless suspense. " "If they take you prisoner, Liza, they will have to take me, too," said Mamie in a throttled whisper. "Take her prisoner! I'd like to see the best man among 'em as much as lay the weight of his little finger on 'her," said Becky in battle voice. She bad found h-er office as guard of the smokehouse a sinecure. Evidently the "locusts of Egypt" were not an hungered. . Things were decidedly more interesting- in the front tantalizing climpses of which she could catch through the vista of the long hall, in consequence of , which the group on the Kallervhad long since been increased by her generous bulk. She turned wist fully upon Liza. "Honey, maybe he might have told us something about your pa and the boys. Would you" mind my a&kin 'em, sorter polite, you know, when they step back?" "I shouldn't mind it in the least, mimmieT But see, they are not going to give you the chance." The men were mounting their horses. A short, sharp word of - command from the sergeant and the great white wings of the front 'gate swung open to give passage to the squad, which galloped away from Sana Souci in the same clat tering haste it had come. Mrs. Martin gazed after them with puckered brows. "Well. I never! Is that all?" 'The vandals' have come and gone, rnimmie," said Liza, laughing hyster ically. "The locusts of Egypt have swarmed and unswarmed. Mrs. Martin," said Mamie, drawing a long breath audibly. But Becky shook her head dolorously. " Ton girls can laugh and thank the good Lawd that you are here to laugh, but we ain't done with 'em yet We'll hear from them rogues again before long, you mark my words. I wi&ht to iroodness I'd had my senses bout me enough to have asked 'em who the ma jor of the Fifth is." Mrs. Strong sat wearily down on one of the gallery chairs, - now that her trailing robes were no longer in demand over the ragged planks. She locked her hands and laid them upon her lap. It was only by the rigid interlacing of her fingers that she oocld""eontrol the agita tion she was heartily ashamed of. "I am inclined to agree with your mother, Eliza. This is merely a prefaca. How extremely low toned their remarks were. I imagine that to be the case with tne entire r ederal army. There was nothing polished about those men. I am absurdly unstrung by their appear ance. Mary, my dear, might I trouble yon for a glass of water? How extreme ly agitating it all was. How long, oh. God, how long?" A tear trembled upon each transpar ent lid. CHAPTER XDL Following upon a clouded sunset had come one of thceo sudden chances in the weather common to that climate and season, end night set in in such chilly fashion that .geth cast about his threadbare wardrobe in an impatient and hopeless search for something that might serve as a substitute for a top coat He "was bound to see that thing out if he had to set the night through in his shirt sleeves on that windy gallery. " The Scriptural apportionment of sev en women to one man camo very near of achievement at Sans Souci in those days, and Seth felt a sense of responsi bility for their physical welfare that was not confined to the careful herding of their diminishing flocks or the rais ing of acceptable food crops. That "a lot of impudent Yankee cuss es" should have visited Sans Souci and let their "rough tongues" loose on the madam and sissy was an indignity that, stirred, him to hot but impotent wrath. He had so expressed himself with in effectual remorse when the story of the morning had been told him, variously and excitedly. "I don't know as I could a-done any thing if I'd b'en here, but seems like there oughter b'en a. man bout to a-saved you all some. " We ain't. through with 'em-yet. sonny. - You'll Jiave a chance at 'em," said his mother, with pathetic pride in the courage of the Martina "It wouldn't surprise me one particle if them sassy rogues was to come back to night and stick a torch to us all while we was asleep." ; - j . . It was this' frightful prophecy that set Seth to hunting up a topcoat which, of course, he did not find. Ho relinquished the search with a patient sigh and compromised on a moth eaten; comforter, which he was cheerfully convinced would secure him againstlhe added pangs of sore throat ; They were an un exact Ina lot those hemmed in rebels, men and women, and had learned the great lesson of do ing without thoroughly, welL , And a' man who has 'learned to do without such - superfluities as flour, and coHee and sugar and shoes and hats-Is not cpt to grow captious "over the absence of . a topcoat-''.-. - ,t 'V "If it worn't for the women foika I could ' stand it better, qnrn'd f if I couldn't - I'd enjoy mortifyin? the flesh in some fashion, see in J'm shut off from doin any of the fiehtin. but mam. 1 ? madam' delicate, and I cfUa cie ifjt dont ir-o pie Enortiu J toy's old and tho madam's delicate, and mid la havo them pestered. - Thus Seth to himself, pacing slowly and 'softly up and down - the vine Cur tained gallery, a lonely, bewildered sen tinel, not- knowing : in the least what the'moments might bring forth, accept ing duty fop his password and ready to follow his commander, .-conscience, into the very jaws of death! - . . Two. huge tubbed oieajiaersnanjtea the front steps on either side.- The soft slow patter of the rain iipon their thick leaves made him " nervous. " It - lessened his chances of hearing approaching foot steps and tended to further confuse his bewildered sensea - - , - , " At one moment the pattering sound ed like the faroff clatter of , innumera ble hoof a then again it fell with the sharp distinctness of clinking spurs on nearby heels, while over the shadowy groups of the dark shrubs the night windswept its eeolian "harp with rest less fingera ' . When ' unstinted physical labor has filled the day, sleep makes imperative demands on a man. let him be never so nervously excited otherwise, and Seth had to keep in constant motion to ward off drowsiness. He would never forgive himself if those predicted torch bearers should accomplish their wicked ends while he slept "D n 'em. they may shoot me fur it but I'll fcet in one or two licks fust ; His footfall was noiseless, nothing between him and the damp gallery floor but the stout woolen socks knitted by his mother's dexterous fingera. The wooden sabots he had laborious ly achieved ' for outdoor wear were too nainfnllr audible for such a delicate mission as' that night was devoted to. This sentinel duty had not been dis cussed with the women. They had all retired early after that nerve trying day, and he hoped they were all sleep- tnr nfr tht reonllection of its trials. Seth was affectionately minded to spare them everv unnecessary pang, and if thev knew he was "footing it" out them in the chill darkness some of them would "fret over it" Tli pro was no Euesrestion of the hero in Seth Martin's personality at the best Heroes do not slouch through the ob scure byways of the world on shambling feet and with down dropped neaa. Pride of record lifts their heads above the earthworm's trail. But Seth had no record to be proud of. Destiny had assigned him this posi tion as keeper of the home. It had not been his choice. He should never be able to auite forget what he Buffered when all of the "men folks" had turn' ed their faces from Sans Souci, leaving him and old Dolbear "to keep things together." How much easier to have gone into the fight! With all his might he had been "keeping things together." Dol bear was his only counselor. It would never do to fret the women with such wearisome detaila For them always the ready ingenuity, the patient smile, the encouraging note, struck from his own despairing soul witn sucn oecer mined elasticity as to carry comfort in spite of its false ring. Nothing heroic in all that Nothing even remotely suggestive of heroism in the tall, stooping form, the peering, anxious blue eyes, tne worK worn as pect of the man who waited and watch ed through the rain drenched twilight of the night that darkened into the black ness of a midnight fraught with un friendly possibilitiea. Waited and watched, pacing cautiously to and fro, backward and forward, with muffled tread, until no yes Unmistakably the clicking sound of an iron latch lifted and dropped. unJ mistakably measured heavy footfalls, not stealthy, like his own, simply de liberate, and Seth, standing still be hind the green curtains of the madeira vines, saw three men advancing up the jasmine bordered walk. A formidable array it looked to the ill clad, shoeless, unarmed watcher on the veranda, their belted jackets weighted with formidable holsters, their visored caps gleaming dully from out the gloom. The squad baited abruptly at the foot of the steps to reconnoiter the barred and darkened front of the governor's mansion. "They must go to roost with the chickens in these diggin'a " said the leader of the little band. "What o'clock was it when we left town, corp?" "Nigh on to 'leven, the corporal answered with a yawn, "and we've been a good hour on the road. " "Bight you are. Such cussed bad roads I never seen. My orders was to fetch the feller without botherin the ladies, but how in tho devil are we to manage it?" Old Blackie said he was in the tur nip patch this morning." "It's likely we'll find him there now. Hoein turnips is such fascinatin work a chap never lets up on it once he gets at it" The feebleness of the suggestion and the infinite scorn of its rejection pro duced a ripplo of subdued laughter. With a display of finesse scarcely to be expected of him Seth advanced boldly under cover of this amicable diversion. Heroically resolved that if it rested with him the women inside should not be "pestered, " he descended the short flight of stairs in his unshod noiseless ness, looming darkly before the gaze of the squad with unheralded abruptness. "Maybe I'm the feller you are look- in for, .gents," he said in his slow. gentle drawL ' . "Maybe you are if your name hap pens to be Seth D. Martin." - "That's my name." . - i ''Then maybe you wouldn't mind rid-! in out to Sessumsport with us tonight 'N "Tonight?" "Just so."

Corporal Greenleaf took possession of the big leather armchair that was rare ly ever occupied,- now that the governor was- gone, and, laying his heavy cap across his knees, gave himself up to con templation Of the splendid appointments of the room. """Sethi's pen scratchiilg rapidly across tho sheet of paper was the only audible sound.' "It ain't a easv letter to write." he said, lifting his head to smile apologet ically; at -the corporal.

The 'simple earnestness of this -rustic won upon his more sophistocated guard strangely.

I reck on, however, it's safe to tell her that you're in no danger or oeing roasted alive -or passed through the sausage grinder; not fat 'nough on your bones for that " Thank you, " said Seth, courteously smiling a faint acceptance of the corpo ral's broad personalities before resum ing the laborious undertaking of. writ ing his mother the first letter he had ever indited: ' i D&ut Old Huntr-Don't. yon go and get oared now when I don't turn tip about break fast time.

D. Martin. Pallid, breathless, terrified, with this note fluttering in her trembling hand, Mra Martin burst into the room occu pied jointly, by Liza and Mamie Colyer, who were both startled into intense, wide awakeness by her wailing cry. "Liza, oh, Liza, wake up,' honey, and give me some comfort My heart's like to break." Liza, barefoot, rosy from slumber, bright eyed and disheveled, was by her side in a second. "What is it mimmie?
