He snatched it from the ground and turned, and as he rushed for Erskine, Colonel Dale swung from his horse. The sword-blades clashed—and Col. Dale had Erskine by the wrist and was between them. “How dare you, hotly. “Just a moment,' repeated the colonel sternly. “Mr. Grey, do you think it quite fair that you with your skill should fight a man who knows nothing about foils?"” “There was no other way,” said sullenly. “Your country is at war. She neecds every man for her defense. Do you not think your lives belong to your country? “Colonel Dale, your nephew gross- ly insulted me, and your daughter showed me the door. I merely re- peated what 1 had been told and T believed it true. Now that I hear it is not true, 1 am willing to express my regrets and apologies.” “That is better,” said Colonel Dale heartily, and he turned to Krskine, but Erskine was crying hotly: “And I express neither.” As they rode back Colonel Dale spoke of the war. It was about to move into Virginia, he said, and when it dic Joth Harry and Hugh inter- rupted him with a glad shout: “We can go!” Colonel Dale nodded sadly. Suddenly all pulled their horses in simultaneously and raised their eyes, for all heard the coming of a horse in a dead run, Around a thicketed curve of the road came Barbara, with her face white and her hair stream- ing behind her. She pulled her pony in but a few feet in front of them, with burning eyes on Erskine alone. “Have you killed him—have you killed him? If you have—'" She stopped helpless, and all were so amazed that none cou'd answer. Kr- gkine shook his head. There was a flash of relief in the girl's white face, ft recklessness gave way, to sudden shame, and, without a word, she wheeled and was away again—Harry flying after her. No one spoke. Colonel Dale looked aghast and Er- skine's heart again turned sick. XVIL As the dusk gathered that evening, Irskine, looking gloomily through his window, saw Barbara flutter like a white moth past the box-hedge and {down the path. A moment later he saw the tall form of Colonel Dale follow her. On the thick turf the colonel's feet too were noiseless, and when Barbara stopped at the sun- dial he too paused. “Little girl!” he called, and no lov- er's voice could have been more gen- tle. ‘Come here!" She turned and saw him, the low moon lighting all the tenderness in his fine old face, and she flew to him. In wise silence he stroked her hair until she grew a little calmer. “What's the matter, little ter?” “f — 1 — didn't harmed.” “1 know.

Colonel Dale crossed the porch and put his hand on the lad's shoulder, “Erskine,” he said, “don't worry— and—-don't give up hope. Be patient, wait, come back to us. Go to William | and Mary.
