"But how do^ou know all this?" I
questioned incredulously, ns the whole
scene and its dread possibilities un-
rolled before my mental vision.
'Ther nigger 1 held up hed a de-
spatch fer Heinteelman over on ther
left, an' then Mariar she sorter j
pumped a young fule staff officer fer
ther rest o' It," be replied promptly.

It was a entree fot * a •
of my slsc. yet I ceet>t through witlv 1
otit great difflcttRy, and found irys-clf
in the dense darknos^ ot a room
which, as 1 fudged hastily trom feel- !
Ing about roe, was similar in shape J
and extent to Ihe one iu which I had j
been confined. Bungay, however, per-
mitted me Hltle time f«r exploration, j
Grasping me firmly by the arm. and i
feeling his way along the wall, be
groped across to tLw-other side.
"There's a mighty bVg stone chlmbly
comes down yere, Cap,"* he whispered.
"An' ther openln' ter take out soot an'
ashes is up thar, jlut b'low ther
fluer. It's a sheet-iron pan, I reckon,
ther way it feeltf; an' It must be thar
they put a nigger in ter clean ther
chlmbly whin it gift* stuffed up. I
could git up thsr alone, but I couldn't
do no work, but thet thar pan ought
ter cum out all right. Dew ye think
ye cud hoi' mo up. Cap? I'm purty
durn heavy."
I smiled in the darkness at the lit-
tle fellow's egotism, and lifting him as
I might a child, poised him lightly
upon my shoulder. He struggled a
moment to steady himself against the
wall, and then I could feel him tug-
ging eagerly at something which ap-
peared to yield slowly to his efforts
As lie worked, a dense ehower of dust
and soot caused me to close my cyoa.
"She's a cotnln' all right," he said,
cheerfully, puffing with his exertions,
"but I reckon as how this cbimbly
ain't bin cleaned out since ther war
begun. Hold up yer right han', Cap,
an' git a blame good grip on her, fer
she's almighty full, an'll wanter go
down sorter easy like."
I did as he suggested, bracing my-
self to meet his movements, as he
stood straining on my shoulders, and
la another moment I had succeeded
in lowering the large sheet-iron pan
silently to the floor.
"Room 'nough yere fer two men ter
oncet," chuckled my companion, in
rare delight '"The chief iu silence
strode before.' Yere goea."
His weight left my shoulders, ihere
was a slight scramble, another shower
of dirt, then the sound of hts voice j
once more.
"Lift up yer ban's, Cap; dig in yer '
toes on ther stones, an' we'll begin !
our vi'ge.**
He grasped my wrlsta with a'
strength which I had no conccption j
the little fellow possessed. There was
a moment s breathless struggtc, and ;
1 squirmed through the opening, and j
lay panting cm the flat slabs which j
composed the foot of the great, funnel. |
To afford me more room Bungay had j
gone up a little, finding foot-lodgment i
upon the uneven stonos of which the |
chimney was constructed For a mo- i
ment we r^sied thus motionless, both i
breathing heavily and listening to the ,
music and shaft ling of feet now almost (

stood leimlng- care^esalf agai::st the
mantel, talking with some one Just
beyond the range of my vision.
At that iKtment the music ccased
suddenly, ahd a.'raid to proceed until
it Bhould strike up again, I braced
myself securely on a projecting stono
and bent my head over the orKice ui «
ti) I could catch portion of tbo con-
versation being curried on by my un-
conscious nr'chbort.
"No," said the cavalryman, grufffy*
and apparently in i ;ply to some previ-
ous question, "the fellow was most
devilish obstinate; wouldn't tell the
first thing; even a threat of treat-
ing him as a spy and hanging hira
outrtght proved of no avail. But
Sheridan's theory is that Lee has or-
dered Longstrcet to hit our rear,
while he makes a direct attack in
front. Tllafs wby the 'old man' pro-
poses to get in his work first, and
we march at daylight to form con-
nection with Hancock. By Jove,
Chesley, but that woman in black over
there with Follaast-ee is ttie handsom-
est picture I've been south of the line.
Mark how her eyes sparkle, and how
prettily the light gleams in her hair.
Who is she, do you chancc to know?"
"Yes," lisped the other, languidly,
"met her at breakfast, headquarters,
this morning. Deuced pretty and all
that, mighty good style, too, but taken,
ol^ man. She's Brennan's."
"What! not Major Brennan?" in sur-
prise. "Why, Iip'h always posed as a
bacaelor among our fellows."
"Don't know anything shout that,
dear boy," indifferently, "but the Jody
came in with him yesterday, was in-
troduced to the. crowd of us as Mrs.
Brennan. and he called her Edith.
Deuced nice naioe, Edith. Aa Bren-
nan lias shown stich poor taste as to
be absent to-night, 1 am inclined to give
a little of my time to hi^* lady. Far
and away the prettiest tiling here.
Well, bo long, Somcrs; seo you in tho
Baornin.T. I'm going to glvo the fair
Edith a whirl."
The cavalry logs shifted their posi-
tion; tho band resinned its functions,
and in the renewed activity and noise
I began again the toilsome climb, my
mind now a bewildered chaos between
my plain duty to Lee aud my Bearly
uncontrollable desire to meet once
more the woman who was; dancing in
the room below.
The little mountaineer, as oetive an
g cat, and not espeilalfy hampered by
lack of room in which to work, wan
well above me by this time. The
chimney, acting as a tube, brought
down to me froa< time to time the
flight noise of hla climbing, varied
by an occasional exclamuticn or com-
ment, but 1 coulu perceive no other
•vldence of bis presence. Above, nil
was as black as the grave.
"Holy smoke!" he ejaculated, prob-
ably unaware that lie wus giving utter
ance to his thoughts. "That wan u
