Aa they crowded through the varl-

Thome. He waa leaulng nonchalant-
ly against the table, his revolver In
his hand, a look of absolute Indiffer-
ence upon his face. Ills acting was
auperb had they but "known It. He
could not betray himself now and
make vain his brother's sublime act
of self-sacrifice for the cause. There
was a tumult of shouts and sudden
cries:
"Where is hef What has be done?
This way now!"
Most of those who entered had eyes
only for the man lying upon the floor,
blood welling darkly through his gray
shirt exposed by the opening of his
coat which had been torn apart in
the struggle. Three people had eyes
only for Thorne, the man who hated
him, the girl who loved him, and the
woman who suspected him.
Thorne did not glance once at the
girl who loved him. or at the man who
hated him, or at the woman who sus-
pected him. He fixed hie eyes upon
the corporal of the guard.
"There's your prisoner, corporal,"
he said calmly, without a break in his
voice, although such anguish possessed
him as be had never before experi-
enced and lived through, but his con-
trol was absolutely perfect.
And his qul*t words and quiet de-
meanor increased the hate of one
man, and the suspicions of one wom-
an, and the love and admiration of the
other.
"There's your prisoner," he said,
slipping his revolver slowly back into
fts holster. "We had a bit of a strug-
gle and I had to shoot him. Look out
for him."

CHAPTER X.
Caroline Mitford Writes a Dispatch.
The war department telegraph office
had once been a handsome apartment,
one of those old-fashioned, . heavily
corniced, marble-manteled, low-win-
dowed, double-doored rooms in a pub-
lic building. It was now in a state of
extreme dilapidation, the neglected
and forlorn condition somehow being
significant of the moribund Confed-
eracy In which' practically everything
waa either dead or dying but the men
and women.

Lieutenant Foray, at the table in th«
center of tb* room, (loth were be.ajr
■ending or receiving meseagoa Tb«
Inatruments kept up a contlnuoua
clicking, heard dlatlnctly above the
buss of conversation which came from
half a do«en youngsters, scarcely more
than boya. grouped together at the op
poatte sld* of the room, waiting to
take to the various office* of the de-
partment, or to the several officials of
the government, the messages which
were constantly being handed out to
them by the two military operators.
In the midst of this busy activity
there came the, noise of drums, faintly
at first, but presently growing clearer
and louder, while the tramp of many
feet sounded in the street below.
"What's that?" aaked one messen-
ger of the other.
"I don't know," was the answer,
"troops of some kind. I'll look out
and see."
He stepped to one of the long win-
dows, opened it, and went out on the
balcony. The other young fellows
clustered at his back or peered through
the other windows.
"It's the Richmond Grays," said the
observer outside.
"Yes, that's what they are. You can
see their uniforms. They must be
sending them down to the lines at
Petersburg," said another
"Well, I don't believe they would
send the Grays out unless there was
something going on tonight," ob-
served a third
"Tonight, why, by heavenB, It's as
quiet as a tomb," broke In a fourth.
I don't hear a sound from the front."
"That's probably what's worrying
them. It 1s so damn unusual," re-
turned the first messenger.
"Things have come to a pretty pass
if the grandfathers of the home
guard have got to go to the front," re-
marked another.
"Following in the footsteps of their
grandsons" said the first. "I wish I
could go. I hate this business of car-
rying telegrams aqd—"
"Messenger here!" cried Lieutenant
Foray, folding up a message and in-
serting it in its envelope.
The nearest youngster detached him-
self from the group while all of them
turned away from the windows,
stepped to the side of the officer, and
saluted.
"War department," said Foray terse-
ly. "Tell the secretary it's from Gen-
eral Lee, and here's a duplicate which
you are to give to the president."
"Very good, sir," said the messen-
ger, taking the message and turning
like an should bat
s you w.nt by."

bad escorted her, who had remained
silent, now entered the conversation
"Have you been receiving some bad
news, Miss Mitford?" he asked sympa-
thetically.
"Oh, no."
"Maybe some friend of yours has
gone to the front, and—" interposed
the first officer.
"Well, supposing he had," said Caro-
line, "would you call that bad news?"
"I don't know as you would exactly
like to—"
"Let me tell you," said Caroline, "as
you don't seem to know, that all my
friends have gone to the front."
There was an emphasis on the pro-
noun which should have warned the
young soldier what was about to oc-
cur, but he rushed blindly to his doom.
"I hope not all, Miss Mitford." he
replied.
"Yes, all," rejoined Caroliru, making
the "all" very emphatic, "for if they
did not they wouldn't be my friends."
"But some of us are obliged to stay
here to take care of you, you know,"
contributed the other young man.
"Well, there are altogether too
many of you trying to take care of
I me," said Caroline saucily, with some
ask-
ed • h« Lieutenant.
"Yes."
"1 am afraid we enn't do anything
for you here. Mlas Mitford, this Is a
War Department Official Telegraph
Office, jrou know."
"Yes. I know." said Caroline, "but
It Is the only way to send it where I
want It to go. and I—"
At that moment the clicking of a
key called Lieutenant Foray away
"Excuse me," ho said, stepping
quickly to his table.
Miss Mitford, who had never before
been In a telegraph office, was much
mystiflpd by the peremptory manner
in which the officer had cut her short, J
but she had nothing to do but wait. <
Presently the message was tran- j
scribed and another messenger was j
called.
"Over to the Department, quick as j
you can go. They are waiting for it," I
said Foray. "Now, what was it you
wanted me to do, Miss Mitford?"
"Just to—to send a telegram." fal-
tered Caroline.
"It's private business, is It not?"
said Foray.
"Yes, it is strictly private."
"Then you will have to get an order
from—"
"That is what I thought." said Caro-
line, "so here It is."
"Why didn't you tell me before," re-
turned Foray, taking the paper. "Oh
—Major Selwin—"
"Yes, he—he's one of my friends."
"It's all right then," interposed the
lieutenant, who was naturally very
businesslike and peremptory.
He pushed a chair to the other side
of the table, placed a small sheet of
paper on the table in front of her, and
shoved the pen and ink conveniently
to hand.
"You can write there, Miss Mitford,"
he said.
"Thank you," said Caroline, looking
rather ruefully at the tiny piece of pa-
per which had been provided for her.
Paper was a scarce article then, and
every scrap was precious. She de-
cided that such a piece was not suf-
ficient for her purposes, and when
Lieutenant Foray's back was turned
she took a larger piece of paper of suf.

How to Clean White Sweaters.
First powder some lump starch and
rub it well into the dirtiest parts;
then roll the jersey up tightly and
leave the starch in overnight.
The next morning shake and beat

find the sweater will be quite clean.
How to Clean Suede Shoes.
Put the shoes on shoetrees, but If
you do not possess these, stuff the
shoes with soft paper. Then rub well
with a rag moistened with spirits of
turpentine. When this is finished,
place the shoes in th% air to dry and
no smell of turpentine will remain.
