"She told you the result of her inter- j

"It was not even mentioned, but I j

She seemed distressed, but was anx
ious that you should know at once the
seriousness of your position, and the
only hope of escape offered you."
My heart was beating fiercely at
this direct evidence of her ihterest in
my affairs. She had even humbled
herself to beg for me a chance; per-
haps, to Colonel Pickney she had even
confessed the truth in hope of chang-
ing his decision. But the effort had
proved useless; he had named terms
which she evidently considered unwor-
thy.
"What hope?" I asked coldly. "You
mean the terms offered me before?"
He bowed gravely, but without
speaking.
"And did Miss Ilarwood request you
to urge my acceptance?"
"By no means. Her purpose was to
acquaint you with the conditions, to
relieve your suspense, and permit you
to realize her friendliness 1 was to
tell you this frankly, but not to urge
any decision upon you."
"And 1 thank you, Captain Fox, and j

me full knowledge of the party and
Its occasion. The floor was crowded,
the men almost without exception in
Federal uniform.
The couples whirled past, circling
the room. 1 watched the faces ea
gerly, but they were all strange. No
doubt some of those young women I
had known as girls, but they had
grown out of my recollection. None
among the officers present, so far as
1 could tell, had 1 ever come in con-
tact with—ah! *yes! there was Whlt-
lock sitting disconsolately alone below
the judge's bench. 1 clung to mv
perch determining to assure myself,
but my eyes encountered no other
lamlllar countenance. Of course No-
reen would not attend, but there must
be some special cause to account for
Raymond's absence. He was the sort
to whom such an occasion as this
would naturally appeal.
Satisfied by my scrutiny. 1 explored
the opposite wall In vain for any simi-
lar opening. As I remembered there
were offices there, where in days of
peace the county officers held sway,
and the floor above was an unfur
nlshed attic, extending the full length
of the building, having a low, unceiled
roof. In the old days it had been
used for storage purposes, and there
was a narrow stairway leading down
Into the sheriff's office. Ay! and there
was a contrivance there once m which
they used to burn waste papers. 1 re-
membered a certain house cleaning In
which I assisted, and was assigned to
the job of stirring the papers fre-
quently with an irou poker. I thought

but could I succeed In getting up that

broken paper permitted a faint glimpse
of my Immediate surroundings, yet re-
vealed little to encourage me. The
chimney was barely large enough to
admit the upward passage of my body,
and was a black mystery. However,
the irregularity of the stones promised
finger and foot hold. It offered a

the noise was in my favor, if 1 could
only be assured the chimney was
wide enough above to permit of my
finally reaching the roof. Once there
1 would discover a way down. The
grim incongruity of that merry party
above, dancing and laughing in the
bright light, and of myself in that
black cell below, waiting the certainty
of death the next morning, served to
steel my resolve.
1 could hear nothing of the guard ln
the corridor, although I listened in-
tently, my ear against the iron door.

It was hardly likely another inspection
would be made, at least not until the
sentries were again relieved, probably
at midnight. To my judgment this
would allow me nearly three hours in
which to make my effort—and surely
half that time should prove sufficient.
The hand burst into harmony again—
a polka. 1 remember—and I tore free
the loosened support. It made an
ugly bit of iron, well adapted for the
purpose 1 had in mind. Not only could
it be utilized as a lever, but it was
no mean weapon for use in emergency i
across mouth and nostrils.
While the music remained silent, I
rested, fearful lest my struggles would
be overheard, pairing such meager
comfort as 1 could. The first blare
of the horns s:arted me t-T once more,

plunged into a wide opening. Clinging
as best I could to a precarious foot-
ing, I ran my arm deeper in until I
came in contact with a tin covering,
which fell rather noisily to the floor.
I paused, startled at the sound, but no
pleam of light came through the open-
and I Instantly realized that the

found it, but It was locked. Failing to
force this, I tried the windows, only
to discover them securely barred. All
these offices were connected together,
that of the county clerk adjoining the
sheriff's, and possibly I might find a I
door unlocked somewhere; at least
none of the other windows would be j
ignored.
I listened at the door leading Into
the clerk's room, but heard no sound.
There was no lock on the door, and
it opened silently to the pressure of
my hand. A flood of light swept Into
my eyes, and I stood blinking blindly,
too surprised and startled to draw In-
st atjtly back. There were two men ln
tho room, one bending over a desk,
the other leaning back against the
wall directly facing me. The latter
was Lieutenant Raymond.

The barrier yielded Inch by Inch,
ui:til 1 forced fully half the iron cur-
tain backward, jamming it against the
wall, and thus revealed the black
opening into the chimney. The open
| ing which I had uncovered was suf-
ficiently large to permit the squee?
in« through of my body, and, once
within the chimney, I found ample
space in which to explore.
I could see nothing, and was com
pelled to rely entirely upon the sense
of touch. Iron bars had been left on
one side the chimney, forming an
irregular ladder. My groping hands
located these, and by their aid I began
to climb slowly upward. At the level
of the first story I came upon a pro-
jection of rock, possibly six or eight
inches wide, on which I found secure
foothold, and was thus able to regain
breath and strength for a renewal of
the struggle. I was crouched opposite
the oldtime fireplace, and the band,
playing noisily, was within a very few
feet of where I hid. However, not a
gleam of light was visible, and it was
some time before I located the open
lng which had been left for a stove-
pipe. Even then I could feel no pip*,
but, as I extended my arm, a finger
burst through the paper which had
been pasted across the entrance, and
a glow of radiance illumined the black
walls about me.
I waited, motionless, holding my
breath in fear that some eye might
have witnessed the tearing of the pa
per; but there was no cessation of
noise, no evidence of discovery. As

It was so still 1 could plainly hear
the swift beating of my heart, and so
dark that not an object was discern-

and, as I was nw on the opposite
side of the building, the sound of con-

me. For a long moment I lay there

board floor, fearing a fall, and finally
located the opening. Nothing indi-
