that the bed was unoccupied, for I
was far too experienced a soldier to
leave an enemy in my rear, I crept
cautiously forward to the intercepting
curtain, and drawing it aside took
careful survey of the outer apartment
(It was a large and handsomely fur
nished room, a polished mahogany
Writing-table littered with papers oc
cupying a prominent position against
the farther wall, A swivel chair
etood beside it, and acrotts its back
hung what appeared to be a suit of
clothing. I saw no other signs of hu
man occupancy.
Convinced that Ahe apartment was
deserted, and discovering no different
means of egress, I crossed the room on
tiptoe, and peered cautiously out into
'the hall. It was not a pleasing pros
pect to one in my predicament. The
lower portion, judging from the in
cessant hum of voices, was filled with
people, who were either unable te

room, or else preferred greater retire

stairway had been partially pre
empted, a young lieutenant, as I
Judged from his shoulder-straps, sit
ting just beneath the landing, whis
pered eagerly into the attentive ear
of a pronounced blonde who shared
the broad carpeted step with him.
I drew back noiselessly, to figure
out the situation and determine what
rwas beet for me to attempt It would
|be sheer madness to venture upon a
passage to the front door, clad as I
(was In travel-worn gray uniform; to
trash through that jam was impossible,

Concluded the later hours of the night
might indeed yield me somewhat
dearer passage, yet it was hardly
iprobablo- that the house, used as I
tknew it to be for a military prison,
(would be left unguarded. Besides,
isuch delay must absolutely prevent
my getting beyond the Federal picket
lines before daybreak, and would
hence render valueless the news I
sought to bear to Lee.
I I moved to the only window and
glanced out; it opened upon the back
of the house and presented a sheer
drop to the ground. At the slight
noise of the moving sash a sentry
standing at the corner glanced up
auspiciously. Evidently each side of
the great building was abundantly pro
tected by patrols.
Something had to be attempted, and
at once. The room I was in bore un
questionable evidence of recent occu
pancy, and at any moment might be
re-entered. My searching eyes fell
upon the articles of clothing carelessly
folded over the chair-back. I picked
up the garments one by one and took
them out; they composed the new uni
form of a colonel of artillery, and
were resplendent with bright red fac
ings and a profusion of gold braid.
With all my soul I loathed the thought
of disguise, and especially the hated
uniform of the enemy,
pugnant to every instin-t of my being,
and would certainly mean added
degradation and danger in the event
of capture.
\
It waa re
Yet I saw no other way. Sheridan,
Brennan, Caton, the three who would '
certainly recognize me on sight, I was '
assured were absent, although they t '
I might return at any moment. The
greater reason for haste, the less ex- '
«use for delay. But if I should chance
to run fool of the rightful owner of
the garments amid that crush below, !
and bo should recognise them, what

Evidently the new dress uniform had

stairs, bad neglected to pack up his
master's things.
This knowledge was the straw
which decided me; I would chance it.
Hastily I drew on the rich blue and
red over my old gray, adding the dresa
sword I had discovered in a cloeet,
and then, wondering curiously what
sort of figure I might cut in all these
fine habiliments, sought a glance at
myself within a mirror hanging upon
the bedroom wall. Faith! hut it was
God's mercy that I did!
Such a face as grinned at me from
that glass, peering over the high-cut
decorated collar, would surely have
created a genuine sensation in those
rooms below. Serious as my situation
was, I laughed at the thought of it
until tears ran down my cheeks, leav
ing white streaks the full length oi
them; for no chimney-sweep in the
full tide of hit glorious career was
worse sooted and begrimed. 1

stepped back from the glass confident
that with good luck I should run th«

finally my search was rewarded by
the discovery of a recent army list,
I ran my eyes hastily down the artil

Fitzmorris, Sloan, Reilly. Ah, there
at last was exactly what I wanted—
"Patrick L. Curran, Colonel 8ixth
Ohio Light Artillery, McRobert's Dl
vision, Thomas's Corps, assigned spe

leck, Washington, D. C/'
"Curran, Sixth Ohio"—good; and the
other? I glanced again at the open
order. "Culbertson, Fourteenth Penn
sylvania." I would remember those
names, and with a jaunty confidence
in my success, born of thorough
preparation, I stepped to the open
door and strode forth into .the bril
liantly lighted hall. Barring the single
accident of encountering a possible
acquaintance in the throng below, I
felt fully capable of deceiving hia
Satanic Majesty himself.

CHAPTER XV.
At the Staff Officers' Bali.
The young officer glanced up hastily
at sound of approaching footsteps, and
rose to his feet to permit of my pas
sage. He wore the full dress uni
form of an artilleryman, and his evi
dent surprise at my presence made
me realize the necessity of addressing
him.
"Lieutenant," I asked courteously,
resting one hand easily upon the
balustrade, "could you inform me if
General Sheridan and those members
of the staff who accompanied him
down the lines this afternoon have
yet returned?"
"They have not, sir."
"Ah, I was in hopes they might
have arrived by this time,"
I bowed to them both, and passed
•lowly down the'wide stairway, sev
eral couples rising as I drew near
to permit of my passage. The lower
hail was very comfortably filled with
figures moving her„ and there in con
verse, or occupying seats pressed
close against the walls. The greater
portion were attired in uniforms of
the various branches of service, yet
I observed not a few civilian suits,
and a considerable number of women,
some wearing the neat dress of the
army nurse, others much more elabo
rately attired—daughters of the neigh
borhood, probably, with a sprinkling
of wives and sisters of the soldiery.
Guards, leaning upon their muskets,
stood in statuesque poses on either
side of the main entrance, while the
wide archway, draped with flags, own
ing into the ballroom, revealed an
Inspiring glimpse of swiftly revolving
figures In gay uniforms and flashing
skirts. Over all floated -the low,
swinging music of the band.
A fat, good-natured-looking man of
forty, an infantry major, but wearing
staff decorations, and evidently of
ficiating in the capacity of floor-man
ager, after whispering a word in the
ear of another of the same kind beside
the ballroom door, hastily pushed his
way through the laughing throng di
rectly toward me.
"Good-evening, Colonel,
he said,
bowing deeply. "Your face is not
familiar to me, but you will permit me
to Introduce myself—Major Monsoon,
of General Sheridan's Btaff."
I accepted the fat, shapeless hand
he extended, and pressed it warmly. ,
"I was just meditating a retreat. 1
i
Major, when you appeared," I replied
frankly. "For I fear my face is equal
ly unknown to all others present. In- .
deed, I feel like a cat in a strange
garret, and hesitated to appear at ail.
My only excuse for doing so was a
promise made Colonel Culbertson
previous to hia being
duty. I am Colora! Curran, of the
Sixth Ohio, hut at pressât serving on
the staff of General Hal leek at Wash

ward, all isifre to «seapo from the
ordeal fled, and I assumed the riaka
of the masquerade with the reckleaa
audacity of my years. Before we
j reached the ballroom my conductor,
! his fht countenance fairly beaming
I with cordiality, had stopped at least
{ twenty times to present me to various
i military titles, and I had accepted in
numerable invitations without in the
least knowing who gave them, or
where they were to be fulfilled. Final
ly, however, we broke through the
massât ring, and succeeded in reach

to whom the Major had spoken previ
ous to seeking me, and 1 learned
through the introduction which fol

For a moment, as I responded to j
the hearty cordiality of his welcome,
I was enabled to take my first glance
at the ballroom, and found it to my
unaccustomed soldier eyes an insplr
ing spectacle. The room was magnlfl
: cently large,—a surprising apartment,
! indeed, even in so superb a Southern f
home as this had evidently been, and
its proportions were magnified by
numerous mirrors extending from
floor to celling, causing the more
distant dancers to apnear circling in j
space. Brilliantly illumined by means
of hanging chandeliers that oscillated
slightly to the merry feet; decorated __
lavishly everywhere with festooned
flags and tastefully arranged muni- j
. flops of war; gay with the dress uni
fond* of the men and the handsome
gowns of the women, It composed a
scene so different from any I had
looked upon in yean as to hold me
faaelnated. The constant clatter of
tongues, the merry laughter, the flash

snowy shoulders, the good-humored .
repartees caught as the various j
couples circle swiftly pest, the quick,
musical gliding of flying feet over the
waxen floor, the continuous whirl of
tue intoxicating waltz, and over all
the inspiring strains of Strauss,
caused my heart to bound, and
brought with it an insane desire to
participate.

Yet gazing, entranced, upon the ani
mated scene, and feeling deeply the
intoxication of the moment, my eyes
were eagerly searching that happy
throng for sight of one fair woman's
face. Strange as it must seem to oth
ers, in spite of the fact that to meet '
her might mean betrayal and death—,
ay! might even result in the destruc

secretly longed for just such a hap
pening; felt, Indeed, that I must again
see her, have speech with her, before
I went forth alone into the manifold
dangers of the night. It was fool
hardiness,—insanity in very truth,—
yet such was the secret yearning of
my heart. If I could only once

ehe already belonged to another, I
could, I believe, tear her image from
my memory; but while I yet doubted
(and in spite of all I had heard I
doubted still), no desperate case
should ever prevent my seeking her
with all the mad ardor of love, no
faintness of heart should Intervene
between us. That she was present I
knew from those chance words ever
heard in the chimney, and my one
deep hope ever since I donned that
Federal uniform and ventured down
the stairs (a hope most oddly mingled
with dread) was that we might in
some manner be brought together. I
was yet vainly seeking a glimpse of
her among the many who circled past,
when I was suddenly recalled to the
extreme delicacy of my situation by
the deep voice of the Major asking me
a direct question:
"Do you ever dance, Colonel?"
Exactly what I may have replied I
know not, hut it was evidently trans
lated as an affirmative, for in another
moment I was being piloted down the
side of the long room, while be goe

"How easily you waits!" she said
enthusiastically, her sparkling eyes
and flushed cheeks testifying to her
keen enjoyment. "So many find me
difficult to keep step with that I have
become fearful of venturing upon the
floor with a stranger. However, I
shall alwayn be glad to give you a
character to any of my friends."
"I sincerely thank yon," I returned
you.
What the deuce am I up against
now? I thought, and my heart beat
quickly. Yet retreat was impossible,
and I answered with assumed care
lessness: ^
"I am, most assuredly, Colonel Cur

"You must pardon me, Colonel, for
my seeming inquisitiveness," and her
eyes sparkled with demure mischief.
"Yet I cannot quite understand. I was
at school in Connecticut wlth_a Miss
Curran whose father was an officer of
artillery from Ohio, and, naturally, I
at once thought of her when the
Major pronounced your name; yet it
' certainly cannot be you—you are al
together too young, for Myrtle must
be eighteen."
I laughed, decidedly relived from
what I feared might prove a most
awkward situation.
"Well, yes, Miss Minor, I am in
deed somewhat youthful to be Myrtle's
father," I said at a venture, "but I
might serve as her brother, you j
know, and not stretch the point of age
over-much."
She clasped her hands on my arm
with a gesture of delight
"Oh, I am so glad; I knew Myrtle
had a brother, but never heard he also
was in the army. Did- you know

have been to meet you! I shall cer
tainly write and tell her what a
splendidly romantic time we had to
gether. You look so much like Myrtle
I wonder I failed to recognize you at
once."
She was rattling on without afford
ing me the slightest opportunity to
slip in a word explanatory, when her
glance chanced to fall upon some one
who was approaching us through the
throng.
"Oh, by the way, Colonel, there is
another of Myrtle's old schoolmates
present to-night—a most Intimate
friend, indeed, who would never for
give me If I permitted you to go
without meeting her."
She drew me back hastily.
"Edith," she said, touching the
sleeve of a young woman who was
slowly passing, "Edith, wait just a mo
ment, dear; this is Colonel Curran—
Myrtle Curran's brother, you know.
