Tlie days went by, days of suspense
and anguish to tho women of Now Orleans.
Those were women of fine
courage, however, and they did not
fold their hands and cry. Madame
Sonvestro, in whose mansion Fairfax
was receiving such tender nursing,
wjnt out every day to sew for the
army. At the Livingston home wap
whore most of this work was done, at
least so far as Madame Sonvestre's
circle was concerned, and there, from
early morniug until the dinner hour,
a throng of ladies cut and stitohed
and wrought with lively, is not happy,
chatter, keeping up a brave show of
nerve and confidence, while their
husbands, fathers, brothers and lovers
dug and shoveled with pick and spade
in the mnddy Rand, building a line of
breasLworks from the river near Chalmetto
across to tho swamp.
Madame Souvestre was considered
tho most favored one of her circle.
To have a brave, yonng soldier,
wonnded almost to death, as her
j special charge, to care for in her own
house, with her own hands, seemed to
all those noble-hearted and patriotic
women the Tory highest possible
honor.
"I am just as jealous of you as I
can he," said Mrs. Livingston, one
day, after the sewing task was over
aud the other ladies had gone away,
"and I think it seltish of yon, dear,
not to alloy me even to see your brave
young patient."
"But the doctor forbade it, you
know, aud said that he mnst see no
one?no one must even speak to
him?he mnst have absolute quiet.
Yes, that was just what he said, absolute
quiet."
"Yon will be falling in love
with him, Hortense," Mrs. Liviugston
remarked, after a little
further conversation had diseased
Madame Sonvestre's enthusiastic
admiration of the young man's
personal appearance, "and that wfil
bo romantic?it will he like a novel.
What did yon say is his name?"
"Fairfax. It has a noble Bound,
hasn't it? But, no," with a little
sigh, "there is no more romance for
me."
Madame Sonvestre's husband had
beeu killed in a duel only a month after
her marriage, two years gone by. |
He was a noted swordsman; but when
he met Colonel Loring under ths dueling
oaks, it was Death that he fenced i
with, and he was run through at the
third pass.
"Forgive mo, dear," cooed Mrs. |

uer arms, "I am always saying some- j
thing foolish. Yon are too good and
cweet to be the victim of ray teasing
tongue.'
She kissed her and then held her at
arcas'-length to look lovingly at her.
"You are so beautiful, dear, that il
I were a man I know I should stea!
you. I couldn't help it!".
Madame Souvestre laughed, halfblushing
at her friend's enthusiasm.
She broke away and said:
"I must go back to him; he needs a
great deal of care, that hero of mine/
Mrs. Livingston stood smiling bj
the. door when her friend was gone.
"Sho loves him already, the littli
warm-hearted witch!" sbe mused,
"aud if he's even half a man he will
love her. iieigh-no: iwisauuswai
was over!"
Sho claspeil her hands, and, th<
light faded out of her face. It was sc
every evening after the ladies weri
all gone aud the house had becom<
silent. She nearly always weut to ho
dinner with a tear-stained face and
with feverish eyes.
Fairfax did not improve as rapidly
as Madame Souvestre had hoped for
but ho bore up bravely enough and
showed little tigu of dangerous rest'
lcssues3 until the night of the 7th ol
January, when Crapaud Crapoussir
went back to the aruiy.
"Thov nood me," the dwarf said,
"and I want to go. Yon cau do without
me for a fow honrs."
Ho smiled iu his hideously affectionate
way nnd fondled the siok man's
Moodiess hand.
Madame Souvestre tried to persuade
hhn not to leave her, bnt he could nrf.
be influenced. He had received word
that the bnttlo would be on beforo daylight
of the following day, and bis
croole blood wa3 hot with fight.
"I will be back to bring you the
news of the victory before suDset tomorrow,"
he said, with qneer dramatie
intonation.
Thou he kissed the hand of Fairfax
and was off.
Madame Souvestre cried a little and
cast herself upon a priedieu, with
han ls held forth beseechingly.
Fairfax watched her as if through
P?.ne sweet mist of tenderness. The
plump little figure, tdie perfectly
poised head, the softly rounded arms
and beautiful, tiny hands were bat
bewitching auxiliaries to the pure,
childlike, almost saintly face upturned
iu prayer.
When she arose and came to his
bedside, he felt a deep eomfort in her
nearness to him.
"How good, how very good you
are!" he murmured.
Then he closed hia eyes aud thought
of Pauline.
Madame Souvestre stroked his palo
lorehead gently, slowly, her hands

trembling with the exquisite thril1
that was in her nerves. He sank into
o soft slnmber and dreamed that it
was Pauline who thns soothed away
his pain.
Siowly the honrs of the night drew
by. Madame Soavestre never left
the bedside of the sleeping man save
to walk the floor in the soft lamplight
or to stand a moment before the glass
and smile approvingly at her own
face.
It was a while before dawn when
?he clasped her bauds and beat over
Fairfax to hear what he was saying in
bis dream.
"Sweet and beautiful," he mnrinured
low, "yon arc ao good, so pure,
no true, so kind!"
She pressed one hand upon her
heart.
"Oh, love? You have taken away
all my painl" he rambled ou.
She started back, faltered, blashed,
turned pale, then stood looking down
upon his strong yet somewhat wanted
face with a gaze of tenderest, sweetest
import. The next moment she stooged
and would have kissed him?nay, her
lips did touch his, just as an awful
roar of cannon shook the air.
He opened liis eyes and smiled as
one coming slowly out of a delicious
experience.
Then the gnns roared again.
"What's that?" he cried, trying to
sit np.
She gently pushed him back on the
pillow, and said:
"They are killing those English
down there. Becalm. We shall hear
good news this very day. So?so;
now, don't try to get up, please; it
will hnrt yon."
And then the din of battle was like
a thunderstorm with wind and hail,
aud, looking out of the window,
Madame Souvestre saw the gray of
daylight.
CHAPTER XXIII.
THE NIGHT BEFORE THE BATTLE.
It was dark, foggy, dreary at Chalmctte
about the first hour on the
eighth day of January, 1815, and tho
I l.ula ni-mu nf flia American* lav in !
w. ,
I silence behind the oozy breastworks !
! just completed. Most of the tired
soldiers were asleep, their clothes all ;
,wet and muddy and their hands blis- i
'tered by the friction of pick-helve, J
'shovel-stave and spade-hilt. For i
jwhole days and nights on half-rations,
and almost without sleep, they have
'delved in the ditches and on the eml
Jbankmeuts. Now they lay on their
arms. A few sentinels walke 1 to and i
!fro with slow, weary tread. General j
Jackson and his stall were asleep in a :
plantation-house not far in the rear ol j
the line.
Mr. Yerno% was, bv his own re)quest,
officer of the night, and all
j alone made the ronnds, again aud
iagain, of the different commands in
tho little army, from I he river to the
swamp. He preferred this activity tc
any attempt to sleep. The terrible
weight upon his heart and mind was
only less crnshiug when he coald find
some exacting dnty, the performance
ol which would force him to crowd
the moment's demands to the front ol
his thoughts.
A few hours more, and the battle
would come and be over with. How i
would it end? In tho intense selfishness
of love?the deepest love of husband
and father?he was thinking
only of the result to his dear ones m
the case of victory or defeat. But behiud
the awful sense of danger to
thorn from their captivity to an army
whoso brutality was at the time
known the world over, there lay a
vast, formless, yet certain and distant
cloud of calamity creeping closer ami
closer to their lives from out of his j
past.
It was while he was standing near j
the river, at the west end of the breast-11
works, where a battery of two guns
had been planted, that a band touched ,
his shoulder, and he turned to face
I old Bums.
It was as if the tall, wasted form
had arisen ont of the ground. Mr.
"Veruon did not at first recognize
him, but when be spoke, the voice
was unmistakable.
"There is no use trying to resis' <
the force yonder/' said the preacher.
"They are live to your one. Tney will
overwhelm you in tho morning. I
have been thore; I know what I say."
"If they aro a thousand to one,"
growled Mr. Vernon, "wo will whip
thorn."
'Ton cannot; they will pour right
over tue3e works."
"They will never cross that ditcli."
"I tell you," said Burns with ve"there
mnst he ten thou
aaud of them, all in columns, ready
to move at daylight."
Mr. Vernon thrust his face close to
that of the preacher and said:
"How do you know?"
"Did I not say that I was there?
It is not an hoar sinoe I stood within
their lines and saw what I havo
spoken of," was the prompt answer.
"Then come with me to General
Jackson; he must see yon and speak
with you. Come on!"
He clutched Barns's arm and led
him toward the house where the general
was sleeping.
"When they had gone a little way,
Burns stopped suddenly, as if somo
thought had demanded instant counderAjion,
or as tt he had on the mo

ment formed the stubborn resolution
not to go farther.
"Thomas MacColIongh," he exclaimed,
with deep empaasis, "I owe
yon my life, and now I would save
jours in turn. Yon "
"Hold!" paid Mr. Vernon, interrupting
Lira with peremptory firmness.
"Not another word on that
score. You owe me nothing."
"Well, then, you will not blame
me if I kill him?"
"What do yon mean?"
"I speak of Kirk MacGollougb,
your son!"
No mere presentation of the words
can suggest the dramatio import of
this terse colloquy.
far. Vernon turned a quarter about
and seized Burns's other arm.
Behind them a little fire flickered
in the fog; they could dimly see each
other's faces, grim and grizzled, as
they leaned doner and tried to stare
into each other's eyes.
Lately Mr. Vernon had began to
dread even the thonght of this man,
who now seemed tho one greatest
danger to his happiness; for it was
through him that the past seemed on
the point of being unlocked and reopened.
Vassenr" knew much; but
Vussenr was easy to manage. One
other knew al1; but that one could
always be boaght to silence with
money. Burns alone was unmanageable;
because he aloue was sincere
and mcorraptiDie.
When for years a man has been absolute
master of himself and over all
who have come within the circle ol
his life, it is hard for him to realize
suddenly that his influence is about
to fail. To Mr. Yernon this threatened
failure meant much more than
mere loss of power in the direction ol
utiy ordinary ambition. He had lived
so long and so happily on the crust ol
a volcano, that, until Burns bad come,
ho had forgotten what a lire lay nndei
it. Tho worst of it wub that a man
like Mr. Vernon could but feel helpless
and hopeless when dealing with
one like Burns.
As they stood thns for a moment at
arms'-lengtb, with their faces thrust
almost together, the two meu felt for
tho first time cloarly how much they
were in each other's way. Burns was
aware now that Mr. Vernon would
stand between him and his one remaining
desire. He had conferred
with Va9seur, and from him had
shrewdly drawn enough to confirm
himself thoroughly in this thought.
Mr. Vernon's grip on Barns's arms
drew them inward with such force
that the old man's chest was almost
folded together and his breathing became
difficult.
"You. a minister of the gospel, a
priest oT the (Jod of Heaven, come to
tell me that yon are going to assassinate?"
Mr. Vernon stopped short
aud drew in a deep, shivering breath
as if tho words had almost choked
him. "Shall I tarn you over to Jackson
to bo doalt with?"
"3hall I turn yon over to him?"
calmly responded Barns.
There was something desperately
reckless, beyond anythieg that Mr.
Vernou had ever dreamed of, in the
suggested significance of the words.
Ho involuntarily loosed his hold and
let fall his hands as if just released
from a galvanic shock.
"True, true," he marmnred, in n
strangely changed voice; "I am not
one to lead others to justice."
"You are better, far bettor than
most men, even with your sins all
counted," said Burns. "I owe everything
to you and yours "
"Everything?"
"Yes, everything. But the evil
part is not "
"Yes, yes, the evil and all is from
me."
"I was hungry and yon fed me I
was (lying and you nursed mo back
to life."
''And now I ask yon for more than
life!" eiolaimed Mr. Vernon in a
hoarse whisper.
'"I know, I kuow," faltered Burns.
"No, yon do not. You know
enough, but not all."
"Yes, Thomas MacCollough "
Mr. Vernon tiew at his throat and
shut off his words.
. "jgp-ak that name again, and "
He did not complete the seuteuce; he
was ashamed of himself instantly.
"Forgive me; I am not myself," he
went on, letting go his hold. HIr voice
softeued. "And you?you aro all
wrnnc. Mr. Burns, vou are permit
ting yoar passion to drag yon along
with it; lot me be? of you to stop and
givo yoar conscience its freedom once
more."
"I am sure," said Barns, with dry
emphasis, "that yon have shown les3
self-control than have I. I haven't
tried to choke you."
"Forgive rao, I repeat It, forgive
me!" Mr. Vornon supplicated.
"Thero is nothiug to forgive; I
mentioned it only to remind you that
it is not so ea'jy to hold oneself in."
"But you are a good man, Mr.
Bnrns, and I am not. Yoar life has
been pare and clean and solf-sacrificing.
You have served God and
kept His oommandments. It is terrible
for you to close up your long and
noble career where mine began, in
crime and violence. Think a moment,
and "
"No, no; when I think, it maddens
me! I daro not think! Dou't ask me
to. All ray years of humble service
in my calling have led up to this. It
is fate. I have but one thing to live
for, and that I will accomplish before
I die."
"Have you thrown off your obligation
to God and your priestly sanctity,
as one throws oflf a top-coat?"
"All these have been torn from mo
by the wayside thorns. I wore them
till they fell in shreds at my feet.
They were not the true "

yourself and to your sacred profession."

To each pound allow half a pound
of sugar and two ounces of whole
ginger root Put the pumpkin, sugar
and ginger into alternate layers in
a jar, and let them stand three days,
when a quantity of syrup will have
formed. Pour all Into a preserving
