Almost nil political or even moral questions

owners, despite the fugitive slave law,
iu their title to their slaves, nnd will
refuse," said the lawyer, again clearly
stating the case nnd with his line legal
mind going to the core of the problem
In a way that awakened everybody's
admiration.
"The right to govern rests In n small
minority," said the nrlstocrutic Mcndlota,
not having shaken off the ideas
of his Spanish ancestry, tho most perNristent
blood in Europe, "tho duty to
pbey is Inherent In tho great mass of
lurinklnd. The .real civilization of a
A cWiulxy is In Its aristocracy. Wo can
luivcqp aristocracy in the south without
slave Jal>"- ..nl If we cannot have
6laves without secession let ns secede."
"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? Here was a bloodthirsty fanatic
,wlio struck against the sovereign state
of Virginia nnd through her against
the United States," ho continued llcrcely,
with a singular perversion of the

' "Ilere was a man wlio levied war upon
n constitutional commonwealth and
upon a , confederation of commonwealths,
who seized a government arsenal,

who cherished the monstrous desigh'

the judge more calmly;
"you are right. ,Wheu he was apprehended
by the gallant T,ee of Virginla"?
"Gentlemen, you will hear more of
that man when war comes." interrupted
the mayor. "I knew him at West
. rolnt."
"When he was apprehended and
tried and convicted of high treason by
due process of law." continued tlx
judge, "every opportunity being .afforded

jury of his countrymen, and executed

"I blush for them!" Interrupted Dr.
Bnmpney hotly. "I repudiate them!"
i ?"had been party to his scheme of
assassination nnd robbery."
: "Shame! Shame!" broke from one
man nnd- another as the Judge's voice
rose In stern denunciation.
"Tint opened my eyes, gentlemen,
as nothing else could have done," said
the old man slowtyr "That paralyzed
nil the efforts we had been quietly
making looking toward the manumission
of the slaves."
"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. Perhaps It
pvill couie. I fear so; but, frankly, 1
have not changed my mind upon secession.
The Union Is ours. We arc a part
of it. Think ofithe moral advantage
(we hnve by claiming nnd retaining It!
Let those who dislike our system leave

"Are we sure of the success of those
nrms? I speak not in doubt, but seek
assurance from the soldiers present,"
said the judge quickly.
"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. I am as sure of
success as I am convinced of the right
of a state to withdraw from the Un- i
urop or our uioou. joeneve me, wucu
the time comes Alabama will not be
found lagging In the rear. I Icr . children,
gentlemen," said the governor,
rising to his feet, "will be found at the
front. We have waited too long. This
ybjjr. day, this very hour, a movement
Js'.oft, foot which will be consummated
beforb the sun rises again which will
assure the world of our meaning."
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.
B EFOIIE the cheering died away
the door giving entrance from
fe-' the hall was suddenly thrown
WaaB open and n young man in tlio
uniform of a corporal of the Light cavalry
burst unceremoniously into the
rboin. Clicking his heels together, he
made a military salute to the host..
"Excuse me, Judge Annan." lie said,
"and Indies nird gentlemen all, but 1
have come for Sergeant Darrow. Orders,
sir. 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. Let those who would strive
to prevent it do so at their peril! We
have rights, and .we dare to maintain
them! We will fight for them with the
last ounce of our treasure and the last

"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.
"Damme," said tlu? colonel. In ids ex- i
clteinent, "if tlds 1h tlie spirit of our ;
women?with apologies to you ladies? I
wlint may we not expect from oVr
men?" i
Mary Annan turned to" Peyton In the '
confusion. !

"Almost you have persuaded me,"
Mild IVyten, smiling up at'her.
"My son. my son!" said his father,
voiding toward liiui and laying n hand
lpon his shoulder. "Thank Clod! Thank
Jod!"
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

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!
