He floundered la a raj-loss swamp, rrosninn brlilprcs that he could not see, trust Inn to his mule, and strupp.ilnR through the sIoukIis. Wue mud spattered up and stained him stained hlra In body, and filled hla Foul with evil thouhta. Even Ihe chlvalrlo traditions of Ms rai-e could not prevent blm from Swearing to himself: "It's that old wohian that old woman." There Is no swamp at Vlcksbitrg, no sloeip.h of morbid thought, no bot tomless road for man and beast to flounder In. The brilliant February sunshine glistened upon her glory guarded hills, crowning her lordly crests with the halo of heroic yester years. There's a lofty deed on every summit, a radiant glamour upon her sparkling lake, a mellow reverence In every valley whera unmarked graves lie hid. There's a holiness, an uplift, an exaltation In those treas ures of the siege-encircled city. In thevse menibries of the river-girdled town. But Noel Puke was In the same surly humor when, at ten o'clock the next mornlnc, he opened the door to Joseph Balfour's law o(Tiee. Joe was In the act of turning away from the telephone. Ho saw Puke ami began to smile. "Hello, Noel, you're on time, I see thought you were due to drop in pret ty soon. It's a queer coincidence." "What coincidence?" 'It's right peculiar " Joe began drumming on his desk with a pencil, that always maddened the other. "It's right peculiar. I say it's a queer co incidence, whenever she comes to Yicksbtirg you happen along at the same time." "Oh, you mean Miss Cameron? Is 6?;s here?" Joe threw back his head nnd laughed lauahed until that funny lit tle bald patch get redder than Duke's face. "Joe. fl.ut up; can't a fellow g-t thvd of the aii!p and come to town to see a t'oi-k-flgbt without you mak iar; all that f-i ?

Tin re be stood, looking uncomfoit hh'.e, then moved off a few steps and joined a noisy group of men -men with, glaring net kites, diamonds, dis reputable locking weatrs, and some with tail silk bRt.

Anita saw the wholo proceeding. She smiled and went on chatting. Jon llalfour watched them both the man and the girl from hla win dow, and chuckled: "Did anybody ever see such an Idiot. He needn't try to fool that Rlrl, she reads him like a Mother Goose book." CHAITKIl VI. TII e-KIMR. Joe Italfour slept soundly after tho cotillion. His room was on the ground floor, scarrrly ten feet from the sh'ewnlk. The usual noises of the nlKht did not disturb him. About daylight ha was roused by a scraping acalnst the outer wall. A man's head and shoulders rose sud denly above the widow-sill and dropped again. Joe Flipped out of bed. corked his pistol and hid behind the curtains. "He's dragging that bench under neath the window." Joe watched the man outside, work ing away, utterly unconscious ot be ing se-cn. "My Lord." he thought, "I can t sUoeit the fellow without giving blm some kind of a chance. I ll Just wait till he opens tho window, then knock him In the head." With that purpose in mind, he crept to the fire-place, picked up the poker, aud resumed his position. Presently the man's fingers clutched the window-sill, and he began draw ing himself up. Tho slouch hat reap peared. The man outside was white. He stood erect and fumbled at the sash, but could not open It. Then to Joe's gr'at astonishment( the man tapped on the pane, and called: "Joe-! Joe! wake up; let me In; It's Noel." "Noel!" Joe exclaimed, putting hi? h SAht,:" face e lose to the window. "Co around to the door " "No; 1. 1 me In; here; quick!"
