From the moment they discovered
the identity of the two strangers all
hostility was at an end. They^ be-
longed to the ranks of the libera
tors." Besides, they loved their young
mistress ss much as they feared In
Edward the stern master. The last
few months, during which he had had
the reins of government, had shown
the whole household what was to be
expected from the new mMter. Now
he had mysteriously vanished. Per
haps he might even be dead. But not
a hand stirred to seek or aid him
Besides, practical John, who never
loat sight of any possibility, had tak-
or* from u. stupor £^ra to "prewnt dnnger from the
induced to abow this vaunted obllg-
ingness. The affair, which afforded
hla friend a malicious satisfaction, wu
extremely painful to him.
"Calm yourself, sir," be said, ap-

^ needs fenr. I deeply regret that
we were forced to put the request la
a form, but the circumstances
compelled it Aa sooa aa the weddlu
is over, yon can return to the city.
The old gentlemaa again breathed
freely. He had Imagined the Itoutea
ant a far more terrible persoaagethsj
tor, and now he proved to b
the more humane of the two. But Mr.
Thompeon preferred to place himself
cloee to Miss Harrlaon as quickly as
possible. If he stood close by her
side, ao one could Are nt him.
Meanwhile, Mnxwell had given tho
marriage contract, which had been
handed to him, a brief, yet thorough
scrutiny, nnd now again laid It on
the table.
"Everything Is correct!" he said.
•The names sre still missing. Please
Insert them. Mr. William Roland-
Miss Florence Harrison! There, now
we can begin."
The maglstrste had so far recovered
thst he could commence the cere-
mony. which was performed very
quickly, but in strict legal form. The
usual questions were asked snd au-
swered, the signatures were afllxed.
and In less than ton minutes the wed-
ding was over. William, deeply mov-
ed. clasped his young wife to his
hesrt.
Maxwell glanced toward the door
where Ralph had appeared during the
last moment, but remained standing
motionless In order not to interrupt
the ceremony. The doctor exchanged
a few words with him In a low tone,
then turned to the young couple.
"Mrs. Roland, please go to your
father. William, you can accompany
your wife. There is no fear that your
preaence will disturb the sick men-
don't leave her alone now!"
A significant glance emphasised the
words. William understood that the
last moments of Mr. Harrison's life
were at hand, and putting his arm
around his wife he led her to her
dying father.

The boys of the family, who had pre

arrangement waa admirable, as It gave
them more time to play, but to do them
Juatlce they did feel some sympathy
for the dog, who waa compelled to do
this part of thslr worh. Rover, that
was ths dog, sooa came to hnow when
churning day came and would sneak off
to hide under the bnrn. whence he
would be dragged to his task. His

moned the whole establishment, and
briefly etated that the Union army was
marching In that direction; that one
regiment would arrive that evening
and hold every human being In
Springfield to a etrict account, If a
hair of his head or Lieutenant Ro-
land'a was hsrmed. The composure
with which he related this fairy tale
mads a strong Impression, and the
rapidity of all these Incidents bewil-
dered them. No one ventured to raise
an objection when Maxwell ordered
the fastest horses to be harnessed and
the carriage brought round; but all
hastened to obey, while the doctor
proceeded to exchange the courtesies
already mentioned with his esteemed
friend, Mr. Thompson.
