Passed almost an hour ere Gilbert
Steele reached with his precious bur
den the bouse of a plantation manager
whom he was certain would be able
and willing to provide shelter for tbe
girl for the night. .
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 she knew Jhat the, bewilder

she listened to her companion's story
revealed it to be a pure and, so far
as she was concerned, an entirely un
necessary fabrication.
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

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

manfully, but It would not down. Tbe

There are many sorts of fairies In

the trooping fairies began to win ' be

above the red" that be gave a loud
hurrah. Immediately all vaulsbed
from view, and be found himself

Peats' classification tbe weird but not
unkindly merrows. or sea fairies, come
next, then the fairy ' doctors and
witches, who Inhabit ' puddings and
pots, bewitch butter, steal milk and

harbingers of death; the leprecaun, or
fairy shoemakers, "tbe only industrious
persons among them." for they dunce
their shoes away In a single night;
