(was in the middle of it. He held himself
straight and checked the speed of
his horse slightly, though he came
down Emmanuel street at a rattling
pace. The horse had grown as reckless
as he. As long as he had strength
,he would run forward.

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.

flashed upon him. They had heard

"They are nil In the drawing room,

"Heavens, old fellow, you look like

CHAPTER XVI.
PEYTON STICKS TO THE FLAO.
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.
