That Parson Kennedy bad spoken her name did not alarm her. She knew that he had but taken a chance shot In the dark. Why should he hate her whom

he TlSd wronged?

She entered Washington. She had sworn to run th«e men Two days later Armltage called upon Alice Trent. They were to go out riding. It was a glorious September day. mild and sunny. •’How is that you arc not wit* those beloved troopers of yours? 1 "Oh. for the present I am aide to one of the chiefs. It it my business to sec that fresh troops are promptly- entrained, that tbi recruiting officers are not permitted to get into the doldrums and sometimes 1 draw or copy maps.

Why shouldn't you ask me? But I'd rather not talk of them." Armltage had unwittingly opened the secret door. She wi Jeanne Beaufort once more, wli a thousand-dollar reward for h* "dead or alive."

Bhe was groping In a blind alley. After the ride she gave him tea: but the gest had gone of everything. She haled herself. Morgan, Armltage—bated the

world.

Armltage returned to hi* room* In a thoughtful and analytical frame of mind. He must not see this lovely girl often. She drew him loo closely. On the following morning he was ordered to report to his regiment and remain with II until It was necessary to recall him. He

wrote a note to Alice Trent, regretting that be would not be able to see her before be left. She saved that letter; but she was giad that he had gone from town. She had a human heart also, and it wa- just as wonder-

ully as hi*.

She went about her affairs as usual. Twice she visited the ise with the secret door and left her information in the drawer of the deal table In the attic. There was no sign "to rent" upon this bouse; yet It was vacant. No one wa# ever seen to - It In the daytime. The house belonged to the Confederate Government, sub rasa. If Jeanne found the candle out of the bottle signified that there were orders in the drawer for her. Thus, on the second visit after Captain Armltage'# departure, rfhc learned with delight that she was ti given active service again. certain general, who was ot the lew great strategist* left the Confederate Army, was In danger of annihilation, and only exact knowledge of enemy's plans of campaign would permit him to slip out ot the net. >e«e plans were at this t In the tent of General Armltage himself.
