There was a long; long pause.
He said, at length, tremulouslyr

She looked up at him. -
"Say my name again," she breathed,
"Madeleine,", be said again "Made

Came to her lips the ghost of a smile.
"Aud I," she whispered "I love yon,
Gilbert."
"Always?" he asked.
"Always," she repeated "always

this morning Father O'Mara called me

think he will any more. I think I'm
a woman now, Gilbert.?. She paused.
Came to them only the shrill notes of
a bird, far above amid the gun flecked
leaves. At length she said "And only
to think that if it hadn't been for this
you'd hnve gone off to the war." .. .

But even thcu it was too late. Men
were coming from all sides. Gilbert
looked about him.
They came, rugged backwoodsmen,
bronzed and gaunt callow recruits,
awkward, red faced all manner of
men In all munner of garb. And with'
them was Wolf. He marshaled' them
with confident manner, and boasting
words. He arrayed them in semblance
of order. L'Acadleune had come with
them. She, suspecting that Madeleine
was still there, made that suspicion a
certainty, ' and during all the confu
sion that had come to the silent glade
found time to say to the crouching lit
tle figure In white:
"He cannot stay. Cnt you could go
with him!" .
Came the voice of Wolf:
"Now, then, boys, off we go! You've
got a fifteen mile march ahead of you,
but you Cau sleep in the boat as we
rop down the river.' Form up! Oet
yourselves in' fours or sixes or some
thing!" ' ' -
It was then that Gilbert stopped forward.-
He said quickly and very ear
nestly: . . - -
"Wolf, you know me. I want a little
time. Let nie follow. I'll be with you
when you' reach the river. I give you
my word." ' ' ' -
Wolf. looklng at him, rejoined:
"Mr. Steele, your word's good with
me. , You 11 be there. Catch us If you
cfln. We move fast" He turued away.
Came from . his lips a shout. "Well,
boys, it's up- and off. for Andrew Jack,
son's army'" j ' r
fife and drum broke into the shrill
squeal and piercing rattla, and with
them were the voices of men, throaty,
husky, loud: . ,

"Madeleine," he whispered broken

She did not move. Only she was
looking at him. . . ; :
