CHAPTER XVIII.
EXKY contrived to send early
news of Anne's safety to Cas
tle Hill, so that when she re
turned there she found tb
household undisturbed. , . ;.
The sound of war bad moved east
ward down the peninsula. Lafayette,
the "boy," who the British commander
wrote- could not escape blm, without
sufficient men to meet his adversary
went playing chase tlie fox. He hung
on Cornwallls" flanks, covering th
American stores, anticipated his moves,
harassed him. worried him with a thou
sand piu pricks. I u return Tarleton
and SImcoe pmyed their wanton mis
chief, slaughtered the cattle, cut the
throats of the young horses, destroyed
the growing corn and tobacco and
burned the barns. The path of th
British front remuined a trail of ruin
and desolation.-'
Anne's sight of Armand at the river
camp had seared ber heart with a wish
to be less far froul blm.. She dreamed
of battlefields on wbieh he lay dying
and she still misunderstood, atlll un
forgiven. ' '

this occasion with vouslderartoo and ,
refrained from using the word "rvbel"
oftencr than she ' deemed ue-tsary
Nor did she atlv at Fntucla' wumila

A week sivut at Westover, tbe Hyrd

The tlrsj tours of her arrival at Bur

But this latter gleam w as soon to b

luornlug after Auue' arrival, half
crated with grief aud fear that was
not appeased by the nnexpected sight,
of her mistress. . , I
She threw herself lu a quivering heap
aud clasped Auue's feet.

An bour later Aune took the York
town highroad, mounted on tbe least
tempting of the horses th Burwell
ket hidden iu th wood. Opposite
Williamsburg she climbed a knoll, but
could see little sign of life In It de
serted streets. Small wonder, for Corn
wullis was only a handful of miles
away. Here sbe turned to ber MX Into
au unused bridle path leading by
short cut to Gladden Hall
She weut bodly enough, with many
self assiirauce. and au, a bare half
mite from the gates, rod full tilt upon
a group of British soldiery resting In
the shade. .
They sprang to their feet as her horse
vent buck uuou his haoacbea, and two
of them seined bis bridle, but dropped It
at a word trow an officer.. The latter
came forward. -
"Your pardou. mistress," b said cour
teously, but firmly. "You csnuot pass
farther In this direction." '
Wby notr she asked calmly. " 'Tts
the first time I was ever dented en
trance to my own home."
He bowed now, with bat In hi hand.
"General Cornw all! occupies th house
at present as bis own quarters."
"1 know it. 1 hava personal business
with his lordship." . .
"In that case," he responded, "you
may pass. I shall take pleasure In es
corting you. I am one of tbe general's
aids." : '-
r. lie mounted, and they rude to silence
(o tbe gates. . Here and there a picket
stepped from the roadside, but saluted
as he ssw her guide.
The aid stood aside as she entered the
ball. Through the half open door of th
drawing room she saw braided uni
forms grouped about table from which
Boated out the sound of laughter and
tbe dluk and tinkle of glasses, filled
from the cellars. ;
"And they tell we." rolled toll voice,
with a bantering chord in it, "that you
would have snared the lot of them at
Charlottesville were it not for a glrL
Flo, colonel! A dragoou should have a
sterner ' heart T Come, now, make a
clean bteast of It. Who wa tbe light
heeled damsel?"
"Mistress TilkitsoB of Gladden Hall,"
announced the aid at the door.
Anne went red and white at this
contretemps, aud Tarleton sprang up
with such an exclamation that Lord
Cornwallls, who had risen also, looked
astonishment from' one to tlie other.
Tbeu the commander caught tbe situa
tion and Isngbed. as did the whole com
pany. . ' . ' -
The merriment seat resentment to
Anne's face, end the general sobered In
stantly luto courteous contrition. -
"You bear easy bouurs, mistress," he
said, "therefore overlook our hilarity,
which, I do protest, was yet 111 timed
In the pain which the hard usage of
such a neble mansion must bring. I
regret," be added,- "that such thing
must lie. War Is not a tender game,
and beauty must suffer with th rest."
"You mistake," sbe told blm quickly.
"I come not to complain, but 'to ask
favor. A hegro was taken on thl
property and 1 now held by your men.
11a lias been my own body servant all
my life.- Surety you cannot lack for
servants. I ask you now to give him
back to me." - '
"It's the nigger named John the Bap
tist, I presume, sir," suggested on of
the officers. "Coiouei Duuda ha him."
Cornwallls bowed, with an easy, good
humored smile on bis big, ' confident,
masterful face. "We who enjoy th
hospitality of thl mansion can scare
refuse so light a fuvor to her who, un
der happier circumstances, should be
our hostess. You shall have your body
servant mistress."-.
, "I thank your lordship," said Anne,
with dlgulty, , ;
Seating himself, Coruwalll wrote
hasty line, folded the paper and hand
ed it to her. - '
-: "Colonel Dumlii' brigade lie with
Biuicoe at Kpencer' ordinary on th
Williamsburg road," he said. "He will
give you return passes.'? . i.
The officer rose a she swept a low
courtesy from tbe threshold. Th aid
held ber stirrup with deference, and
she cantered down through th gate
and took tbe west road with joyfully
beating heart aud th Written order in
the pocket of her gown.. ' '

Hoarding the Oregon Short Line, we
aoou readied Huntington, and st that
point made our last chsuge uf cars for
Portland, Oregon.
After seeing the slorma, the cyclones,
the heat in autumn snd coid in tbe
winter, prevalent in the east snd south,
it is my conclusion that the rsins of
Oregon, through the wet season, aie
vastly preferable, and . I believe the
Willamette Valley and Western Oregon
furnish a better section for personal
comforts than any of the sections we
traversed, and. alter fourteen or lilteen
months of travel I am home, with a
better opinion of Oregon snd here I
shall remain lor. the future,
