"Gentlemen," said the judge, "I think Dr. Venosste is right. I have held similar opinions, nnd yet one circumstance has convinced me at Iqpst of the futility of any present hope of a peaceable, orderly abrogation of slavery. It has not Impaired my conclusions or blinded my Judgment, I trust, hut I am aware that it has done more to deter men who think ns Dr. Venosste nnd myself?nnd there are many of us? from any concerted action than anything else that could have been done." "What was thnt, Judge?" asked Colonel Peyton. "The conduct of tho north with regard to the John Brown raid." "Yes, yes," cried the colonel; "what did the northern sympathizers think of thnt?

"But, judge, after thnt can you doubt that war will come?" asked the mayor quickly. "I do not know what to say as to that," answered the Judge. "It may conio In God's providence.

"Perfectly sure," said Withers confidently. "Dou't you think so, Colonel Peyton?" "Not a doubt of it, sir! The Yankees won't stand a ghost of a show with the south," answered the colonel, with equally confident assurance. "And If the valor of our citizens were not enough." Interposed Dr. Veuosste, "we have another ally." "And that is?" asked Dr. Dampney. "Cotton, sir! Cotton is king. We coutrol the cotton product of the world. England and France, Europe, must be with us on that account if no other." "Suppose the north tries to blockade our ports, doctor?" queried Mendiota. "They could net. The task would be so gigantic us to be Impracticable, and the powers would not permit it. They must have cotton. They can get it nowhere but here." "You are correct. Dr. Venosstc," exclaimed the governor. "Cotton is king, and we are the power behind its throne. Put aside from that the lighting power of the south is vastly greater than that of the north, in spite of our disparity in numbers, for here every man is a soldier.

The men had risen In excitement as the governor made this Important announcement, and tliey,burst Into wild "Cheering as he closed A Judge Annan and Dr. Yenosste nlope preserved their composure. Even Boyd Peyton had been carried away by the enthusiasm of the moment and had risen to his feet with the rest. A swift glance of approval which Mary Annan shot at him more than repaid him. Darrow, who had devoted himself with the chivalry of the gentleman to Pinkie Peyton, saw the glance, and his heart sank in consequence. CHAPTER XII. THK GAGE IS THROWN.

He's wanted at the armory immediately," ^Aladnin," said Darrow, rising to his feet and bowing to Mrs. Peyton, "by your leave. Judge, Miss Mary and gentlemen all, I bid you good evening. Duty culls me. Now, corporal, I am reuuy. "Stop, corpornl!" 6uh} the governor. "What are your ordersV" . "Orders to muster the troop of cavalry at the armory at once for active service, sir,'- said the corporal, a young fellow called Hamilton l'leasants, known Intimately to every one in the room. "And what then?" "I know no more than that, your excellency." "Ah, gentlemen," said the governor, "there Is the hlonl soldier, lie obeys orders without question. 'Well, sir, you and your company shall know and the world shall know what your orders are before the sun rises. Where is the armory?" "It's down Massachusetts street, sir," 4 ; suiti Dnrru.r. "No, sir, excuse uie." said the corporal quickly, "it's ou Charleston street." "How's that?" exclaimed Colonel Peyton in surprise. "I know of no street by that name." "Gerjlcmeu," said the mayor, "council passed a resolution this afternoon renaming all streets that were previously named after northern states after the glorious cities and commonwealths of the south. Gentlemen, avc will wipe out every vestige of the north from our records as we obliterate the oppressors from our hearts," he continued amid laughter and applause. "Good luck and godspeed to you, Sergeant Darrow," said Mary Annan, Ion." "Abstractedly no one can deny the right of secession. The constitution is the net of the several sovereign states. It Is their instrument. The instrument could not be construed as binding any unwilling to ratify It nor as holding any bound who wish to be free. All we wish is to be left alone, to be allowed to depart In neaee. Shall wo be allowed neither peace In the Union nor the poor boon of seeking it out oL' the Union?" asked Hudson incisively. "You are right, sir," cried Colonel Peyton. , "We must organize conventions all over the south, set lire to the southern heart. Instruct the southern mind, give cdlirnge to each other and at the proper moment by organized concerted action precipitate the contact with a first blow, which will give us an advantage." "No. no. If the war comes, let them make it," said the judge. _"Aydt as torsecesslour' controlled the governor, "it is true, as Me. Hudson says, tho Unfon was iniulo up by the voluntary adhesion tliereto of the different commonwealths, and that any state thereof, consistent With the uatio'nal constitution, may lawfully and peacefully withdraw from the Union , without the consent of the north or of any state.

"Wherever you go and whatever you , do, our hearts are with you." The young soldier wrung her slender hand and then without a word bowed deeply, turned sharply on his heel and left the room, followed by Pleasants. "Is this war?" queried the Rev. Dr. Bampney. "No, sir," said Colonel Peyton; "this is play." "Yes," said the governor, "but in the end it will be war of the grimmest kind." | "Alas," said the Judge, "I fear so. Meanwhile, before we go into the | drawing room, where I have Invited the young folks to assemble this evening for a little dancing party, let us fill our glasses once more and put away from us all thoughts of strife and war, of politics and principles, to which I fear the ladies may fancy wo have given too much attention in their charming presence." "No," cried Mrs. Pcjtou; "we nre as interested as you nre!" "Yes," said another; "we would rather have heard the discussion than talk ourselves upon any other subject." "All, well," said the judge, "let us put it aside now. Gentlemen, I give you the health of my daughter Mary, the pride of my heart, the pride of my old age. There she stands, gentlemen, Just budding into womanhood, with all the future before her. Drink to her happiness. Drink to her welfare if you love me." "Stop!" cried the girl. "It is my birthday. It is my hour. Perhaps I may speak, though a woman. Let mo substitute a toast, father. I know what our good friends would fain say and j what they think. They- give uie too many evidences of their affection for it to be in doubt." she went on Impetuously, the words rippling to her lips, -4s lie met her glance lie unsteadily seized his own yl?ss in a trembling hand. the dark color mantling her face, her eyes sparkling with excitement "Let no one drink a toast to me, but tlioso who love me. who wish me well on this day, my birthday, drink first and only to the old south, which is to bo the new south, and the great Confederacy about to take Its place among the nations. I give you the south, gentlemen." "The south! The south!" rang from on<x;nd of the room to the other. , The girl's voice rose in sweet intensity above the tumult: ' "I want you to drink it with the resolution that you will pour out your heart's blood In defense of It as lightly as you quaff the draft of wine." As she spoke she lifted her glass, as all the others did with one acclaim, but before touching It to her lips her eyes turned to Boyd Peyton. lie was pale, but determined. As he met her glance he unsteadily seized his own glass in a trembling hand, shot one meaning look toward her, and drank It down! \Ier heart almost stopped its beating at this evidence of his final adherence. The , colonel, who had watched him with : equal Intentness, gladly exclaimed un- 1 der his breath, though more than one ! heard his words: 11 "Thank Clod! The woman has done i it at last!" i With gratitude b>o deep to be ex- j pressed he, too, drank the toast. I The action of the young man, whose i iivoi14111*?111 tin ? rn un inn jiuniuuii lis* ti | i nnvnl ol'icer, had been the subject of < discussion among all ids friends, was noticed by many others present, and 1 as the glasses were set down upon the j table the men broke forth into cheers i again, cheers for bim.

The quick rattling of a drum outside jrokc the sudden silence which fell upon the company as the cheering at last died away. "What's that? The long roll, eh?" nied the colonel, lifting his head and milling the air like an old warhorso. "It's a drum beating the assembly," ' said" riie hiavor. who reo<vnlz?'il tlm I all from his West l'oint years. "There II goes a pi In!" cried another. "Where is itV" asked a third. "It comes from that direction," cried me, pointing toward the front of the lion.se. "It's at the armory of the cadets, down yn Couti street." "They are coming this way," cried the colonel as the rattling grew louder. 'Quick! Let us see them!" Hy common impulse the company Burged toward the long French windows opening upon the gallery. Mary Annan was quicker than the rest, and Boyd Peyton was at her side. Their lingers fumhlcd at the curtains and the fastenings of the blinds and tore them open. In a moment the assemblage poured out upon the porch. They had ?it unusually long at the table. Night had fallen?t lie soft, yleep semitropic night?with the stars blazing brilliantly overhead. Out on the street the troops were coming. The lights from torches carried by negro boys on the tlanks sparkled upon the bayonets. As tliey drew nearer the lifes joined the drums in that already popular song, "Listen to the Mocking llird." It shrilled through the dark and crowded streets. The entrancing strains rang above the cheers and shouts of Mm lUMtrzl .....l ?* ...v; V1UIXI. llliuumillli; il UU IU1| virions the soldiers looked in the unccrtnln liir'.it I After the Mobile c:idets came the (Icnimii fusileers, then the Independent lilies, then the Washington artillerymen and in the rear the Light cavalry. "Oh, wherein re they going?" cried Mary Annan to the governor, who stood by her fide. The old governor hesitated a moment and looked at her quizzically. "You can tell us now surely, sir," she cried, laying her hand upon his arm. The governor hesitated still, but llnally made up his mind. "My dear Miss Mary," he said at last with fatherly kindness, raising his voice as he spoke so that the 'whole assemblage could hear him, "we are going to forestall the United States troops who were ordered south on New Year's ilay. 1 have directed the cavalry to seize tlie Mount Vernon arsenal! 1 have ordered them to turn over the arms td the military force of the state!" "And the cadets and the rest?" interrupted the young woman. "They are going down to fake and garrison Fort Morgan!" A sigh seemed to rise from the company on the porch as they realized the fateful import of the governor's words. It was followed by a burst of applause, hut the drums and lifes were Just opposite the railing now. The captain of the battalion took in the group on the gallery but a few yards away?the gov ernor, tne mayor, tne women. lie turned sharply. A word of command rang out. There was a crash and clatter of arms. The light rippled over the moving bayonets as the men gave the marching salute. A great roar of cheers burst from the men and women surrounding the soldiers and then the troops themselves joined in the acclaim. Above it all rang the shrill notes of the life playing the "Mocking Bird," breaking into the night with its passionate cadence. Far over the railing leaned Mary Annan. Quickly she tore the shawl from her shoulders and Haunted it toward the passing soldiers. And Bob Darrow caught her glance as ho roile and thought it greeting for him. At Mary's feet a small figure clad In a white nightdress, who had at that moment appeared on the scene, clung to her. and Tempo, raising her voice to win attention, called out: "I heard the drums, sister, an' I came. Are they going to shoot against the Nunited States?" The judge, with a singular contraction at his heart, caught up his youngest daughter and stilled her prophecy. And the regiment swept on. Oh, if he lived for a thousand years, time could never erase from Boyd revton's memory the picture of that radiant figure standing on the edge of the balcony, that uplifted bare arm catching the shawl that he had thrown upon her shoulders and waving it in the air like a bonny blue flag, while the "Mocking Bird" was playing in the street!
