It was now aoma U hours after
Fred's perlous difference with his di-
vision commander He had sent an
argent appeal to his old general to he
set free from further contact with these
things he almost loathed He looked
for answer wtthta ths wash and tak-
ing advantage at the permlarion cold-
ly accorded him by the chief of sta
- to ha absent over night he had gone
heavy-hearted to his old friends of the
Iron Brigade and nought at their hands
the sympathy and consolation to he
expected of men who had themselves
felt that the official atmosphere was
- frigid where once It had beea so fair
Aid It was here on Thursday morning
while breakfasting with the genial
commander of the Black Hats aad lis-
tening to his philosophic advice to
"take things coolly and that "all
would come right" he was surprised by
the coming of a cavalry orderly
splashed with mud who bore a missive
addressed by the adjutant-general of
the division and marked ‘‘Immediate"
With a word of apology to Col Fair-
child and his officers Beaton tore It
open and two papers fell out One
“Capt Beaton: Inclosed Just re
ceived The general says you better
come this way where the necessary
orders will meet you and you can get
what luggage you need There will be
steamers going all the evening
"(Signed) BREW8TBR A A O"
N The second was a telegram to the
commanding general — th division
— th corps and bore the singular re-
semblance to one received on almost
the same ground sons seven months
previous:
"Secretary of War desires to see
Capt Benton of your stall at once
Take first boat Intermediate com-
manders notified No delay
” "U THOMAS Adjutant-General"
"Well well” haid the colonel "they
have been prompt You can get to
- Acquis by noon can’t you?"
"Not If he goes back by way of Old
Scoffer’s" remarked a field officer
thoughtfully ‘‘Fred don't you Imagine
the chief wants to smooth things a bit
before you tell Stanton all about It?”
"Don't go back Benton Just let
blm sweat It'll make him more civil
another time” began an lmpetuodr
comrade but stopped short at sight
of the cloud In Benton’s eyes the sax-
lous look In the colonel’s fine dearcut
soldierly face It was the latter who
spoke again and without interruption
for already be had won the faith of
even such martial Iconoclasts as the
Black Hats "This means something
more than a mere difference due to 111
temper” said ha "You are wanted
for a purpose Benton It is— about
Ladue do you think?"
Fred had already risen "I shouldn't
be surprised" he answered thinking
’ uncontrollably of the words of bis
Washington informant "God help tn
man that has to bump up against Stan-
ton Just now!”
Yet he rode back to headquarters
aad surely enough found hla chief
there chafing and suspicious "What’s
’ Stanton want of you?"1 he blurted out
“You haven’t— You didn't— make a
row about what I said Moaday night
did you? - We were all cross grained
then aad I didn’t happen to think you
bad to look me up and so— got lost"
"I have certainly written to a friend
at Washington asking for other duty
sir" said Beaton firmly though hla an-
ger had vanished and given place
to sadness aad anxiety "I did not
pet loot however I obeyed orders
and under similar Mrsomstafioen should
do so again"
"Pro told yon I dt understand
tbs matter at ths ttaae er I shouldn't
k seta I'M kka want 1 did" broar
n Die mwbur both hurt and troubled
'It you're going to start la oa ycur
army career with the Idea that you re
never going to get hauled over the
coals jrou've mistakes your profee--loa"
Scoffer knew be bad been
In the wropg He wanted to undo
the wrong He simply didn't know
how nnd Benton wouldn't help him
And so they parted enemies If any-
thing and preceded by the story of
Old Scoffer's vehement assertion en-
larged of course In transit that be
"bad more friends In the south than
In the army" Benton reported the
following day at tbe war department
nnd waa shown Into the presence of tbe
angering secretary
it was a dull December morning
It folio ed dose on tbe heels of dire
disaster: and with the stories rush-
ing la upon him of contention dis-
loyalty nnd disruption at the front
the Iron Secretary waa stung and
goaded by the evidences of triumphant
plot and treason nil about him and
among the cities safeguarded at the
rear Two prominent households with-
in easy rifle-shot of hla desk were now
shown to have been In constant cor-
respondence with leaders of the rebel
cause at Richmond The heart of the
secretary was hot within him and
hardened against this young staff offic-
er of a fighting corps whp ushered
Into the severe and repellent presence
stood silently at guard
For a moment each studied the other
and the menace In Stanton’s frown
roused the spirit of fight in Beaton's
not too pad lie temperament "Wat
business has a asaa to look at am as
tkougk ke thought I ought to be bang-
ed no matter If be la war secretary?”
waa ths question -uppermost la tbe
Badger’s mind Hla father tbe eqalre
bad once trounced a brother-in-law for
less Th hump of Insubordination was
rising even before th secretary's first
question
"How came you so late air?"
And the bump was In hla throat as
flushlag to the brows the Badger aa-
awered: "Possibly because I waa kept waiting
aa hour outside sir"
Btaatoa's veins seemed to swell to
thrice their natural alas and his strong
face fringed by the Iron-gray beard
turnad almost purple
"Ton will be wise to keep your tem-
per young sir If you wish to keep your
commies km You owe your escape
from rebel hands I am told to certain
members of Dr Chilton's family of
Charlottesville"
No answer
"It is eo is It not?”
"One member only sir"
"Lieut Ladue waa your Intimate
friend at home 1 believe” Stanton
was tapping the desk with a long
ruler— an ominous sign said they who
knew him
"He waa sir”
"Was It to square accounts with the
Chiltons you sought to Shield him?"
"1 have bad to shield him In no way
sir He had been brought here before
I could see him again”
Stanton actually smiled but the
smile waa grim as any acowL
"Then it was by helping young Chil-
ton was It?" And the professional
cross-examiner tapped more swiftly
on tbe table and hla eyes fairly
biased through tbe spectacles
Benton was boiling over now
"I never beard until an hour ago
that be bad got away air” I'm g— "
"Glad I dare say” said the seers
tary with sarcastic force "We heard
as much of you — and more” Then
sudden as a steel trap "What did you
do with the papers you received from
Ladue?”
This time there was no mistaking
Benton’a start of amass He was kneel-
ing by poor Paul’s side In tbe hospital
tent when with feeble nerveless hand
tbe boy had passed a little packet
to him and faintly whispered his re-
quest "What did you do with them?" de-
manded Stanton and now the officers
standing at tbe side of the room seemed
to hold their breath
