Throaty , baying of dun coated bounds sent .Gilbert, startled, aback us be drew near the dwelling, and the sleeping girl, with a cry of terror, lurched dazedly from bis arms. Tbe planter, aroused by the disturbance, appeared In the doorway, his figure silhouetted boldly In the glare of yel low light that streamed forth Into tbe darkness. He carried a musket, . In 'dullness for immediate action. These were dangerous ... times, and night prowlers were usually bent on ques tionable errands. "Stand back or I'll Are!" be cried threateningly leveling the weapon at the figure of the man bis eyes dimly discerned. But n socner bad he spoken than the householder lowered the gun, for, much to bis amazement, he beheld coining Into the path of light a young man 'whose face was familiar to blm. and resting on his arm was a pale faced, wan eyed young girl, whose dainty raiment of white was torn through contact with' briers and stain ed here and there with dirt marks. ( : "This young lady is far from home." announced Gilbert, " "lost her way, needs food and test. Will you keep her here until morning? 1 will pay you well." ; Tbe planter glowered suspiciously at them. . ,i . ' , "1 will have to ask my i wife," was his reply as he drew back into the lii'iise, slammed the door and left tbe travel woru couple standing disconso lately in (he blackness of the night The girl clung to Gilbert in nervous fear of the dogs, which, however, were leashed In a woodshed near by. He comforted ber, though be also was dismayed for another reason, how ever. Suppose the planter's wife would not take Madeleine lnl What was to be doue then? Not another dwelling within miles! There would be only one resource, and that was practically no resource at all, was probably out of the ques tion, for It meant the taking of tbe girl through tbe lines of tbe distant military camp and tbe procuring of shelter of some sort for her there. The door finally opened. Gilbert awaited tensely the answer. The planter again appeared. "Come on in," he snapped. "Come In and explain to my wife, and If yon can satisfy ber that you're all right you can leave the young person here for the night." With a sigh of relief at the glimmer of hope held out to him Gilbert half carried his charge across the threshold and into the living room of the plant er's house. He explained that tbe girl bad stray ed into the woods In search of wild flowers, had lost her way, that be had fortunately come across ber and had guided her to the planter's house, from whence she could return borne hi the morning. No; he had bad no opportunity to take ber to her own' home, because tbe distance was very great and he was compelled to iota his soldier com rades or else prove disobedient to his superior officer something he would under no circumstances do. The planter's mute surveyed thera both with keenly penetrating eyes. Perhaps she guessed that, the hand some soldier lad had not told her all of his Btory or very much of the truth of the situation.

Perhaps the kindly woman knew In tuitively that before . her were two hearts that throbbed solely for one an other, and she' questioned not the story. . She gave them food and drink, and when it came time for tbe soldier to face the long tramp to his camp sho withdrew quietly from the room, leav ing them to bid each other farewell.- "Do not leave me; do not go." the girl pleaded with Gilbert , "You must never be away from me again, and" her voice quavered "the7 will shoot you you will be illled." Her eyes filled with tears as she clung to hlmr- "No, no; it Is a soldier's duty to brave unflinchingly whatever danger may occur. My country has called me, and I must respond. Besides, dear one, there Is no danger. Those red coats don't know the country. They stand up In line in tbe open, while we shoot them from behind trees and from ditches where we lie concealed." She shuddered at bis description of the horrible thing Which she vaguely understood to be war. A strange, ter rified look came Into her eyes. "You say what Is not so," she flut tered. "There Is danger. You will be killed. I feel It; I know it. I can see you now" her eyes closed, and she clutched bis arm with both ber tiny hands "I can see you now lying be side a rock; there is a hole hi youi forehead; there is blood on your face. Gilbert, and lying all around you are men whose arms and legs are gone." She reeled away from him and sway ed backward. He sprang to her and saved ber from falling.1 "Yes." -she went on prophetically, her voice rising "yes, Gilbert my Gil bertand I can see the man who killed you. . There he is crouching over there." She pointed hysterically before ber. "He is laughing and loading his gun, and his face oh, his face is tbe face of Raoul de Valette!" As she cried out these .last word ler voice broke Into a (despairing wall, "THEBBl -NOW GO AND 1IABBT TOUB BAOUIi DB VALRTTKl" and ebe 'fell . forward , limply In her lover's anus. She was unconscious. The planter and his wife responded to tbe lad's frantic calls, and they carried the precious form up Into a bedroom, where the woman applied restoratives. When Madeleine finally opened her eyes and looked about' ber word was sent to tbe anxious Boldler waiting below, "You bad better go now. She is all right." advised the planter. "She will be taken borne lu the morning. It you go uear ber again she will only faint again, so my old woman says." Gilbert Steele took up bin bat and, with a heart overwhelmed with sad ness, plunged desperately out Into tbe darkness. ... A vague. Intangible sense of Impend ing doom smote him.

The Fairies In Ireland.. There are many sorts of fairies In Ireland. The trooping clans, '. the friendliest, wear green Jackets, and the solitary , fairies wear red.
