You refer to the gentleman who ex? pected to meet you on the road?" "To Msjor Hrennan, yes." There was nothing about the tone of her reply that Invited me to press the inquiry further. One thing, however, was reasonably certain,?the man she railed "Frank" could not be her father. 1 longed to ask if he was a brother, but the restraint of her whole manner repelled the suggestion. "Did I understand that you have rracsed in the Federal hospitals at Baitinxwe?" 1 questioned, more to con? tinue the conversation than from any deep interest. "Merely as a volunteer, and when the regular nurses were especially busy. Major Drennan was stationed there for some time when I first visited him, and I felt it my duty as a loyal woman to aid the poor fel? lows." 1 remained silent, striving vainly to frame some innocent question which should solve for me the prob? lem of who and what she was. Sud? denly she spoke softly: "Captain Wayne, I feel 1 owe /ou an apology for my unwarranted and unladylike conduct last night. I am very sure now that you are s gen-1 tleman, and will appreciate how bit? terly I was tried, how deeply I have ever since regretted It." It hurt her pride to say even this much, as I could tell by her downcast1 eye? and heaving bosom, and I hastened to relieve her embarrass? ment, j "You have nothing whatever to ask forgiveness for," I said earnestly. "Rather such a request should come from me. I only trust, Miss Brennen that you will excuse my part in this extremely unfortunate affair." She sat looking down upon her plate, her fingers nervously crumbling a bit of corn bread. "You do not even known who I am," she said slowly. "I am not Miss, but Mrs. Brennan." I felt as If a dash of cold water bad been suddenly thrown In my face. "Indeed?" I stammered, scarcely knowing what I said. "You appear so young a girl that I never once thought of you as being a married woman." "I was married very early; indeed, before I was seventeen. My hus? band?" What she was about to add I could but conjecture, for a quick change in the expression of her face startled me. "What Is It?" I questioned, half ris? ing to my feet, and glancing over my shoulder toward the wall where her eyes were riveted. "Something resembling a hand I pushed aside the coat hanging you der," she explained in low trembling tone, "and I thought I saw a face." Believing It to be merely her over? wrought nerves which were at fault, I sought to soothe her. "It was prob? ably no more than a shadow," I said, crossing to her side of the table, to enable her better to feel the Influence of my presence. "Let us be content to sit here by the door, for we should be taking too great a risk of discovery If we ventured into the open." I had barely spoken these words and placed my fingers on her hand to lead her forward when the small door which opened Into the shed was thrown back noisily, and two great shaggy dogs, the evident mates of the dead brute at our feet, leaped fiercely In. Shu shrank toward me with a sob of terror; but even as I drew a revolver from my belt, a man and a woman appeared almost slmul- ! tancously In that same opening "Down. Douglas! down, Roderick! Ha! 'There lies Red Murdock, stark j and stiff!'?down, you brutes; you'll be dead yourselves sometime." The man strode forward as he spoke, clubbing the frenzied brutes with the stock of the long rifle he carried. " 'Yelled on the view the opening pack.'

Stop thet blame youlin', you Roderick, er I'll take t'other end o' this gun ter ye." He redoubled his efforts for peace, finally driving the rebellious beasts back into one corner, where they sat upon their haunches and eyed us wist? fully. " 'Two dogs of black Saint Hubert's breed, unmatched lor courage, breath, and speed,' " he exclaimed, w iping the perspiration from his face with the back of one hand and staring at us, 'specially the breath." He was a fierce looking little fe?ow, scarcely more than a half grown boy '.n site, with round, red face full of strange wrinkles, and head as oddly peak shaped as 1 ever looked upon. It went up exactly Use the apex of a pear, while the tnper portion was utterly bald. He formed a most re msrkable contrast to the (all, raw boned, anguly female who loomed up like a small mountain just behind him. "I reckon as how you tins bed quite a bit of a scrap afore laid thet thar dorg out, stranger,' he said, a half angry tone lurking in his deep voice " 'The fleetest hound tii all the North,' an' I'm durned if ! )ls( likes ther way you uns makes yerselves et hum In this yero cabin." "?hat up.

"Madam,' I said with a low bow, "It If misfortune, not desire, which has caused us to trespass upon your hospitality. We will very gladly pay you liberally for any damage done. I am an officer in the Confederate ser? vice, and the breaking down of our horses compelled us to take reiuge here in order that this lady might not be exposed to Janger from roving gangs of guerillas. The dog attacked us in the dark, and we killed him in order to save our lives." " 'The deep-mouthed bloodhound's heavy bay resounded up the rocky1 way,'" ejaculated Bungay with dan? cing eyes. "Drat yer potry, Jed Bungay! ye j dew make me tired fer suah." She turned back to us, and from her first words it was plainly evident she had been impressed with but one sentence of my labored explanation. "Did you uns say as how ye'd pay I fer whut ye et and fer thet truck ye busted?" she asked doubtfully. "Certainly, madam, and I took j some money from my pocket as evi? dence of good faith. "What would you consider due you?" The grim, set face relaxed slightly, while she permitted her husband to edge his way a little more into the fcregrdund. "Wal, stranger, I sorter reckon as how bout four bits '111 squar' things? dorgs is mighty dum cheap hereabout enyhow. Give me ther four bits, mister, an' I reckon aa how it '11 be all right." I glauced at Mrs. Brennan, and the amused twinkle in her eyes led me to say heartily, "We had not entirely completed our meal, but Imagined we saw ghosts." "Ghosts!" He glanced around ap? prehensively,? " *On Heaven and on thy lady call, and enter the enchanted hal'!' Wus ther ghosts ye saw over , thar?" And he pointed toward the wall opposite. I nodded. "Then I sorter reckon as ho?.* Marlar and me wus them ghosts," he continued, grinning "We sorter reck? oned as how we wanted ter see who wus yere afore we come In. TU listen tid my fancy heart the clang of swords, the crash of spears.' These yere is tough times, stranger, in these parts, an' a man whut has ter perfect a lovely female hes got iif keep hit eye sklnued." Maria sniffed contemptuously. "Te're no great shakes at a pertect ln' o' me, Jed Bungay. Now you sit down thar an' begin ter fill up. I j reckon as how ther Cap an' his gal will kinder Jlne with us fer manners." She seated Jed with such extreme vigor that I looked for the chair to collapse beneath him as he came down, but the little man, not In the least daunted, picked up his knife and fork with a sigh of relief. "'0 woman! in our hours of ease uncertain, coy, and hard to please,'" he murmured. "Come, sit down, stranger; 'sit down an' share a soldier's couch, a soldier's fare.' Not as I'm a sojer," he hastened to ex-, plain, "but thel's how It is in ther book. Say, old woman, klnt ye kinder sker up some coffee fer we uns? leastwise whut us Confeds call cof fee' ' Without much difficulty I induced Mrs. Brennan to draw her chair once more to tbe table, and I sat down beside her. "You are Confederate, then?" I asked, curious to know upon which side his sympathies were enlisted in the struggle. He glanced warily at my gray jacket, then his shrewd, shifty eyes wandered to the blue and yellow cav? alry cloak lying on the floor. "Wal, I Jist don't know, Cap," he , said cautiously, continuing to eat as he talked, "as I'm much o' enything in this yere row. First ther durned gray-backs they come rmoopin' up yere, an* run off all my horgs; thea ther blame blue-bellies come 'loug* an' cut down every lick o' my corn fodder, so thet 1 11 be cussed if I ain't 'bout ready ter fight either side.

"Wal, 't ain't very healthful fer us ter be stayln' et hum much o' ther time, long with that thar Red Lowrie, an' Jim Hale, an' the rest o' Ciet cattle 'round yere." "Guerillas pretty thick now In the mountains?" 'Wal, I dunno; I heerd as they wua doin' somethln' down by ther brick church, but thar's no great shakes of >m Jist 'round yere. I reckon as how they knows 'nough ter keep 'way from Jed Hungay?I'd pitch 'em 'far as ever peasant pitched a bar.' " "You have no fear of them, then?" "Whut, me?" The little man sat bolt upright, and glared fiercely across the table as though he would resent an insult. "I Jist tell ye. Cap. I reckon thar ain't no guerilla a g/)in* ter poke his nose 'round yere Mess he's a lookin' fer sudden death; thar's mighty few o' 'em ain't heerd o' Jed nuugay? Whut in thunder's ther matter with yer gal?" He stopped suddenly, and stared at her; but before I could turn about in my chair one of the great dog* began to growl savagely, and Maria sprang forward and cuffed the surly brute into rebelliouH silence. "It's hosseg," she said harshly. "Likely as not it s Red's gang Now, Jed Bungay, yore's two lovely females fer ye tci perfect." As 1 hastily sprang to m\ feet I caught a tlesllug glimpse out ot the partially opened door. Down the ste*p of the hill road there was slowly mov? ing toward us on foot a small party of perhaps a dozen men, so variously clothed as to make It evident they were irregulars. .lust ahead of them, but on horseback, two others were even then turning into the narrow path that led to the house, attracted probably by the smoke which ?treamed from the chimceytop. CHAPTER VIM. Mrs. Bungay Defends Her Hearth stont. A hand pressing hard upon my arm brought back my scattered senses with a rush. It wa*? Mrs. Brennan who stood there her face whitened by anxiety, her eyes peering anxiously through the opening of the door. "Surely those men are not soldiers, Captain Wayne!" she exclaimed. "They wear uniforms of both armies." "No doub^ they are guerillas," I an? swered, drawing her back from where she might be seen in their approach. "We must find hiding if possible, for you shall never fall into such hands. Bungay!" (TO BE CONTINUED.)
