As long as he had strength ,he would run forward. > _ Peyton saw those about him as if in p. haze. He noticed people staring laftor him, lifting their hats to him. .When two or three were assembled by chance, he heard his name called loudly. As he turned the corner of Dauphin street he marked the Light Infantry company assembling before its armory. They sent up a mighty cheer as he passed them by and turned up St Francis street. They were calling bis name, too, and with approval. iWbat did it mean? Suddenly it flashed upon him. They had heard that he had decided, and they were erecting biin with joy and acclamation.

I 1EYTOX staggered up the stairs I Jc"* J somehow and went to his own PBfrCWi room. lie threw himself upon liis knees before ills bed, j as lie had done when n little child, : stretched out his hands before him on mi- cover ana ouried Ills face between lils arms. His body shook with tearless sobs. He could form uo words of prayer, but in that attitude the thoughts of his hear' went up to God I Jn broken petitions. Into tlie agony of that soul the Master looked. To those unformed prayers be made answer. He hud come to a decision tinal and Irrevocable. He would do his dutyami he knew now what it was?uo mnt'ter what happened, whose heart broke, what appeals would be made to hlin. Friends, faintly, love ? tbey were all cast into the balance In that human soul and outweighed by another claim. As he rose to his feet he picked up the I letter. It was an otlicial envelope addressed in a familiar hand. Eagerly he tore it open. There fell from it his long expected commission as ensign lr the United States navy and orders revoking his leave and directing him to report at once to Washington. Such an order could only be met by compliance or resignation. With these official papers was a letter in a hand he knew. The name signed to it was little known outside of naval circles, but in a j ear the world would be ringing with it. It wna an uppcnl. an anneal to ills conscience, to his honor, to his sense cf duty, from a brother olflcer, an old man greatly his senior in rank, who had been n second father to him; an anneal to his lovnltv tn ni? nntriot Ism as an officer, and linally an inspiring expression of confidence which was balm to his soul, and the theme of the letter, the text of it, as it were, wus, "Stick to the llag!" I "Thank God!" he said, laying the letI tcr down. "Thank God that I decided before I broke the soul!" The music of u life and drum came swelling up the road. lie ran to the window and looked toward the gate. The Light Infantry was Just turning into the avenue and coming toward the house. The soldiers were accompanied by n great multitude of people on foot, on horseback or in carriages. What had Willis said? They had elected him their captain! Ilim! lie laughed, though there was little mirth In the sound he made. Well, he would meet them fairly and 6(iunrely now. lie would tell them frankly and boldly before father, mother, friends and sweetheart. Thank God they wore all there! It could all be done in one blow. lie ran to his closet, drawing off his clothes as he went, and then put on others that he selected as quickly as possible. The troops were at the porch now. lie could hear the rattling of musket stocks on the walk as they were brought to "order arms" and then to "parade rest." Hastily buttoning his coat, he turned to meet Willis In the door. "Good heavens, Boyd!" said the boy, glancing at him anxiously, "what did you do that for? Won't you take them off? They are"? - "No," said his brother, brushing by him. "Come on." Followed by Willis,.Peyton ran down the stairs through the hall, and out on the porch. There immediately before I liini wore drawn up the company of I riflemen. Surrounding them was n i great concourse of'people. On the porch stood his father and his mother | and sister. TJie old main's face was ; flushed with pleasure, his eyes were I shining with proud and happy light. On one side stood llob Harrow, handsomer than ever In his becoming uniform. There, also looking more radiant I and beautiful than he had dared even j to dream of her, was Mary Annan. | The color wnu burning in her dark cheeks: her eyes, too, , were ashine. Iler eager glance dwelt upon his face 1 almost lovingly as he entered the porch, and the. next moment com prej bended his clothing with a start of surprise. Following her example, , they all looked at his tall, slender flgj ure and noticed with astonishment ! that he was clad in the full uniform of an ensign li) the United States navy, even to his sword, which he held lightly l>y the scabbard in ids left band. Hut they had no time to comment on the singularity of his action, for another sharp command rang out: "Com puny! Present arms I" "Colonel Peyton. Indies and gentlemen. and especially Mr. Boyd Peyton," Johnstone, the lieutenant of the company, began, with an eloquent gesture comprehending everybody, "as you know, the rltles have been without a commander for over a month owing to the death of our late lamented captain. We have been carefully deliberating since that sad event as to the choice of our next commanding olllecr. We are proud to believe, sir, that it is a higli honor to command a company like this, whose ranks are filled with the best blood of Alabama. Wo believe that if the company has opportunity to show its snhltorlv minll+toa upon the tleld of bnttle it will provo its inetllc, and we have wanted not merely a commander of courage and of family to lead us?there are many in our ranks who possess sueli qualifications?but Ave want a man of experience. a man avUo has been bred to the profession of arms, who can teach us what Ave lack. It is needless to say that our thoughts have been upon you, Mr. Peyton, ever since your return to the home of your fathers last month. Hut. sir, you will forgive me, I am sure, although we Avere morally certain, we had no public assurance until last night as to your feelings tOAvard the . Southern Confederacy. But the story ! of your decision has been noised about I by your felloAv citizens to our great j satisfaction, sir. The company was as- j setnblcd this morning nnd avo held an election, and I have the honor to In- j form you. sir, that you have been unan- j imously elected to be our captain. God . save tlie state of Alabama and the j Confederate States of America!" "Three cheers for our new captain!" said the first sergeant, stepping forth from the nyiks as Johnstone finished his address. "Stop!" Instantly cried Peyton, In a clear voice heard on the very outskirts of the assemblage. "You are mistaken, gentlemen. In part, at least, I did in some degree engage myself to the i south last night." in some aegreei" cried a girl's voice, j piercing the awful silence, shrill with | surprise and horror. It was Mary Annan. "Carried away by the enthusiasm of the party," went on Peyton steadily, .looking down at the surprised, awestricken faces of the men before him, although the sharp cry of the girl pierced his very soul, "moved by the example of venerated friends, an honored father, and inlluenced by"? For the life of him he could not prevent his glance then from sweeping around until it rested upon the face of the woman he loved, standing by the railing, which she grasped with astonishing Intensity, and staring at him with a horror struck, bewildered, piteous face scarcely less white than his own. The cold sweat beaded upon his brow as lie looked. lie felt something rising In his throat and choking him. Ills heart struck him like a triphammer. Still he persisted. "For?various which need not bo mentioned," he continued more slowly, moistening his lips nervously, but still resolute to go oil, "I?I?forgot myself." A deep groan burst from the lips of the colonel behind him. The old man put his hand to his head and staggered as ir he would have fallen. The bitterness of death was with him, and added to It the agonies of shame. His son a traitor! O God, could that be? "My son, my son!" cried his mother, in a voice tense with emotion. "Think! Think! What is it you nre saying?" Darrow stepped across the porch and stood with clinched hands and threatening brow beside his lifelong friend, the incarnation of force and menace. In his soul, too, Mary Annan's bitter cry was ringing. Peyton looked neither to the right nor left. "Gentlemen," he continued, moistening his dry, parched lips again and again, "I love the south. My heart is with her. Here nre father, mother, friends, and?the woman I love as well. 1 would give my lifeblood for them, but 1 cannot give up my honor. My duty constrains mo. I am an ollicer"? with a magnificent gesture he lifted his hand to Ids cap and removed it?"of the United States." Was his strength coming'back to him at the sound of the beloved name? Yes, yes, thank God! lie went on more firmly: "I have sworn allegiance to the United States. I must bo faithful to my duty. Here is my commission as ensign, here are my orders to report at Washington at once. I must go. I cannot bo your captain, gentlemen, much as I appreciate the high honor, because I must serve the United States." "To h?1 with the d d traitor!" shrieked a man in the outskirts of the crowd, lifting his list in wrath, and. catching ids example, the yard rung with cries and shouts. "Down with him!" "Mob him!" "Let's ride him on a rail!" "Curse the nigger lover!" "Down with the black Republican!" "Gentlemen," said the old colonel, galvanized into life by tlds aw.nl display of passion, "no more of this! 1 beg you, no violence. This?that was? my son has made ids choice. Leave him. Leave us, I beg of you. Lot him go forth alone. The contempt of friends, the hatred of acquaintances, repudiation by his father and mother and by those who loved him will be punishment enough." Teyton's mother bowed her head upon her daughter's shoulder, and her l>ody shook with sohs. Mary Annan still stared as if fascinated at the immobile face of Peyton. Why, why? ru n 111 tutu ii?iui iiiiiiui'iii, ino <lucry | Unshed into the girl's miuil?Una sho ever called him n dreamer? He stood looking neither to the right nor left, staring nhond ut the company ' of I<lglit Infantry with n face as sot, 1 as hard, as cold as If carved out of , marble. At bis side Btood Harrow, shudders j running over his body. One touch, one spark, and lie would have struck down Ills wlilloni friend. Peyton realized this. He was sick with horror ut the thought. IU' shuddered too. Was it fear? What was St? Was ho n coward, indeed? I'.y the living God he would stand there upon that poreli and face them all if the next heartbeat were to l>e his last. "We eatue for a captain," said the first sergeant suddenly, aa the tumult and the shoutings died away, "and wo are going to have one. Ity your leave, lieutenant. Comrades, 1 nominate for our captain Sergeant Hob Harrow of the cavalry, if he'll take it." | "Darrow! I.ci's have I shouted the others. "Those who nre in favor of the elcc( lion of Serpen lit llobert I >arrow will I say 'Aye,' " said the lieutenant proiuptiy. I A great shout cf approval burst from | the company. | "Men," said I)urro\v hoarsely and brokenly, "I appreciate the honor. After the treachery we have heard here I I can only do luy part as a loyal son of the state. I accept the olllce, and, 1 please Cod, If the battle come may we | be found together in the front ranks." The old colonel's face, no less white I than that of hi* son. turned with j stately calmness to the young soldier i standing like a demigod 011 the steps of the porch. No wonder the physical j nature of Mary Annan and of many another woman rejoiced in the splendid perfection of the young man. "My boy," cried the colonel, seizing Dnrrow by the hand, "you are a true son of the south. We are all proud of you." And Mary Annan fled to the new captain's side and took his hand again and would have kissed it in the excitement of that moment, but be would not permit her. "I wished y u godspeed last night," she said. "I do it : 4ain now, with more heart than before." "Ccntlemen." se.M the colonel as the cl.coring died awav "you will pardon liii* ir i say I cannot ask you to partake of my hospitality umlcr tlie present circumstances." "We await your commands. Captain Darrow," said Lieutenant Johnstone. "March your men to the armory," sa!il Darrow. "I \v;!I bo there in half an hour." "You will understand me. friends and neighbors, I am sure." said the Colonel to the others, "if I now bog you to leave us alone." The gi'ottp waited. fIIi nt and motionless, on the porch until the Inst straggler had departed from the gate. Cil.UTLIt XVII.

"Do you call yourself a gentleman?" she asked him fiercely, her hands twisting together ft on.' "Last nt^t'on you decided, you said words of love to rue?and I?1 believed in you. Oh, hear the infamy, all! 1 believed in you, I trusted you. You put your arm around me; I did not resist. You kissed me"?

"Almost you pi rsuaded me to love you.' f ! --1 t- - l giurwu in fuui *?a, was u a nor I you do it all to win a woman's lips? Are you a thief and a coward as well as a traitor?"
