'fS jy' T Was n pleasant morning In 5g| j| October when the steamer from Montgomery drew up sSssI Rt the wharf with the regiment on board. There was a great ;lgpncoar^{rvof people on the dock aud tIq the nearby 'streets. Two or three [ jfOmpnnicjg o? young boys and old men, Apme gdWt'ds^ln eiicnp, 111 fitting uniforms, woVe there to welcome them, and there was n regiment from Gen ctal Maury's command at the Spanish ""fort at Plakely to do them honor. The lest of the. crowd was made up of . " lio.iry grandfathers, little children and women. The troops on the shore pre" stinted arms as the debarkation of the faglmcnt began. . " X reglmentl Was that handful a regiment?" "A faTnt attempt to raise a cheer ended In a groan. First came Ihe^llQU^&lRht 1" command) a mero boy,- who had been a private when lie went forth. There were tears In his eyes, be.stoppcd unsteadily, his sword trembled In his hands, his voice broke as he gave- the words of command. Close after Vitra came a little squad of moil carrying the flag, a mere tattered, blood.stained Tag now, drooping down the staff' In the still air. Then on a litter, carried by some of the soldiers, came Hho prostrate figure of young Pleasants, the heroic lieutenant colonel. lira'foot was bandaged, aud the wound sahd exposure bad brought on a relapse'of his fever. He bad strength enough left to prop himself upon hl$ arm and turn bis gaze listlessly toWflpfl fltn AhAW/1 Then en me the wounded who were able to march?men with their heads tied up, uien with their arms in improvised slings, men leaning on human crutches, men with bandages over their eyes, led by others, and then the well men?only by contrast could these haggard, broken fellows be called well? perhaps 100 of them. The \vl19le hotly did not uumber 150. Their patched, tattered uniforms wero covered with dust; they wero worn and faded beyond recognition. The faces pf the pien were gaunt and weather beateu, but tho gun barrels were bright, the bayonets still sparkled In the sun. 'They had gone forth, not quite three years before, some 1,100 strong; they came back 150 weak. A drum and flfe belonging to them ^struck up as the little company, In the midst of ghastly silence, crossed the gangplank. The remulns of the field music made a brave effort to cheer the men, and the tune that rang over tho 'itlcnt crowd was the old sweet one, "Listen to tho Mocking Bird.'' Tho two men played a few bars of It, but It was too much for them. The muslp topped suddenly. . Tho heads of the men of the regiment dropped on their breasts as the memories of tbejy first passage down Government ?lreet?the day they went away, so young, bo hopeful and so strong ? came upon them, staggering over the some highway on that day. Tears streamed from tbelr eyes. They TAMA 1* A A 11 !? A* ~ I licic uuuil', (III (Uill nug It'll UL lllt'Ill. I It was good to be home again. A groan burst from the crowd. The regiment proceeded slowly a little way up the street, the people BWfirPdng about it. There, on the porch at Annandale, gs they had seen her as they marched away, stood Mary Annan?no; not the same, for then she was gay and Joy* ous; now she was bowed with grief , and arrayed In the garments of mourning. With her were Mrs. Peyton and her daughter and old Mrs. Pleasant#. Hamilton's father had gone to the front. The boy was to be taken there, and his mother had come to meet him. They, too. were In the same somlier garb, and tliey pin do u striking group, a black dot ficslnst the white vpnUs of :lie old house. The women In the (treet were pressing linrd upon tho solillcrs now. Cries and appeals rang <ilong the street. ".Tack, Jack! Is It you?' "Oh, thank God, j*ou've come backl" "Has any one seen my son?" "Oh, where Is my husband?" "Tell me, where did you leave my Will?" And so on in n confused medley of heartbreaking appeals. The ranks were Invaded now. They were broken. The march was stopped. The regiment was home and in the orms of the women. They carried Pleasants Into the hall at Ann.nubile. And lying there on the ' litter he told how Bob Darrow had led tho charge. He was III, faint, but he must tell his story. Dr. Venosste, who had come to do what he could for him, bade hlin speak on at last. "I was right by his side when he ifu, iiv nniu. \?c ito i?? ???< *-? yon know, >!is9 Mnry." lie addressed the young woman, recognizing her right above the others to hear the story."And the next day 1 sent n party to i look for lilm, as the field was ours." "Did they find hiui," asked the girl, "or his?body?" "No, Miss Mary. There had been n fire near where ho fell that had swept away a good part of the forest on the hill.

"Was he dead when you left him?" "I don't know; I think not. But hard hit, yes." "How dared you leave him?" she cried suddenly. "I was driven off, Miss Mary. God knows I'd cheerfully have died for him or with him." "And how dare you speak so to him, Mary Annan, you cruel, selfish worn- ' an?" cried Pink, aflame. "Hamilton, what did you go back for?" "Pink, dear," said the young man, flushing faintly, "I seized the flag from Barrow's falling hand. He gave It to me. lie said, 'Save the flag!' A little knot of our men rallied around me and stood there on that slope until they were shot down, all but me. I was alone. We were beaten hack. I thought It better to save the flag, so I turned and walked down tho liiii a bullet struck 1110"? "What then?" cried his mother breathlessly. "Then 1 crawled with the flag until 1 brought it lack." "They didn't Ore upon you?' "Not when they saw me crawling a way.'.' "Forgive me." cried Mary Annan, kneeling down by him and pressing a kiss on his hand. "You are a hero, like all the men of the south, like General Dnrrow was. Do you think he may have escaped?" "It is hardly within the bounds of possibility, Miss Mary. Still I can't say. You ought to be proud of him. He loved you so." "Did you give him my letter?" whispered the girl as she knelt beside him. "Yes," whispered the ^ouug officer softly. Something In the situation caused the others to draw back a little as she questioned him. "And did he?was he?what did he say?or do?" No one heard the answer. Tlcnsants would have spared her if he could, but there was something In her glance that compelled the truth. "It broke his heart," he said, feeling for her sorrow. "It struck him down as surely as the Yankee bullet on that Sunday evening." Mary Annan slipped down and fell upon her face, hearlug and seeing nothing more. CHAPTER XXVIII.

"Well, Drayton," said the admiral, looking up from the chart nt the officer sitting near him in the cabin, "1 think we have done every thing we can do in the way of preparation, and nothing now remains but to put the affair to the test." "Yes, sir," answered Drayton, n tall, thin, dark, swarthy, full bearded sailor, the able commander of the Hartford and Farragut's licet captain, as brave an officer as ever sailed a ship. "I can think of nothing to add to the instructions you have prepared." "The ships are to go. in pairs, lashed together," continued the admiral slowly, rehearsing his orders to see if anything further occurred to him, "the weaker vessels on the port hand. If one ship is disabled by the enemy's fire the other will be able to carry her past the forts, I trust. Then the tide will be at flood in the morning and we could almost drift in were the process uot a little too slow.
