SIH LIAM GILLETTE | BY CYRUS TOWNSEND BRADY ALLUSTRATIONS BY EDGAR BERT SMITH : Cor yYRIONY General Randolph either did mot hear Thorne's speech or heed it, or else he did not care to prevent him, and he continued his questioning. "Where did you get this mistaken order?" he asked. But Arrelsford, intensely alive to what wag going on, interposed. "He's at it again, sir!" "Halt, there!" said General dolph. "I ordered you to wait" The dispatch was almost complete. Thorne ground his teeth with rage in his impatience. He had tried audacity before, he would try it again. "I was sent here to attend "to the business of this office and that busi ness is going out," he sald resolutely, "No," said General Randolph with equal firmness, "it is not going out un- til'l am ready for it." "My orders came from the war de- partment, not from you, sir. This dis- patch came in balf an hour ago," an- swered Thorne angrily, his voice ris ing, "they are calling for it at the oth- er end of the line, It's my business to send it out and 1 am going to do it." "Stop!" sald General Randolph, as Thorne began to sénd the message Ran- KINGSTON BUSINESS COLLEGE (Limited) Head of Queen Street Courses in bookkeeping, short- band, typewriting, qivil servic general Improveme! and al commercial subjects. sr tes moderate, Information H.

"Sergeant, seize that man and keep him from that machine." Well, the last hope was gone. as the sergeant stepped forward to exe cute his orders, Thorne, desperately determined to the last, clicked out a letter, but he was cut short in the mid dle of a word. The sergeant and two men dragged him away, chair and all from the table, and two others posted themselves in front of the key. "I will have you court-martidled for this, sir," said General Randolph angrily. ' "You will have to answer yourself," cried Thorne, playing the game to the last, "for the delay of a dispatch of vital importance, sent by the secretary of war." "Do you mean that? cried Ran- dolph. "I mean just that" answered Thorne, "and I demand that you let me proceed with the business of this office. Before these officers and men I repeat that demand." "By what authority do you seid that dispatch?" "I refer you to the department, sir." "Show me your orders « for taking charge of this office." "I refer you to the department, sir," answered Thorne stubbornly. "By God, sir!" continued General Randolph hotly. "I will refer to the department. Leave your men on guard there, sergeant. Go over to the war office. My compliments to the sec retary of war, and ask him if he wil be so good as to--"' But Arrelsford's evil genius prompt- ed him to interpose again. When af fairs were going to his liking he should have let them alone, but fate sedmed to be playing into his hand, and he de termined to make the most of it and the chance. mr "Another witness! Miss Varney," "Captain Thorne Mas the Highest Authority in This Office." he eried triumphantly, as he bowed toward the window in which Edith had T* *hat moment appeared. "She was 1971 By Dooo, Mrao aro Company |was a long one. To here with me, her." . General Randolph turned toward the window and in his turn bowed to the she saw It all. Ask "Miss Varney," he asked courteous ly, "do you know anything about this? "About what, sir?™ answered Edith in a low voice. "Mr, Arrelsford claims that Captain Thorne is dcting without authority in this office and that you can testify to that effect," was the general's answer. CHAPTER XV. Loystand Duty at the Touch. ; e's case was now absolutely hopeless. By the testimony of two witnesses a thing is established. All {that Arrelsford had seen Edith had seen. All that 'he knew, she knew. She had only 'to speak and the plan had failed; the Tleverly constructed scheme would fall to pleces. His brother's life would have been wasted, nay more, his own life also; for well did he realize that the bold way he had played the game would the more certainly hasten his immediate execu- tion. A spy in the Confederate capi tal! : He could reproach himself with ' nothing. He had gone his very best) An ordinary man would have fafled a dogen times in the struggle. Courage, adroitness, resourcefulness, and good fortune had carried him so far, but the odds were now heavily against him and uothing that he could. do would avail him anything. The game was played and he had lost; Arrels- ford had triumphed. Thérile, in the one word that Edith Varney was to speak, would lose life, honor and that for which he had risked both. And he would loge more than that. He would lose the loge of the woman who had never seemed so | beautiful to him as she stood there, | pale-faced; erect, the very incarna- tion of self-sacrifice, as were all the Jeturns women of the Confederacy. And he would lose more than her love. He! would lose her respect. His humila- | tion 'would be her humiliation. Never | #0 long es she lived could her mind | dwell on him with tenderness. His condition was indeed pitiable; | yet, to do him justice, his thoughts | were not so much for himself as they ! were for two other things. First and foremost bulked largest before him ! the plan for which he had made all this sacrifice, which had promised to end the weary months of siege which Richmond and Petersburg had sus- | tained. His brother had lost his Mfe, | he more than suspected, in the en-| deavor to carry it out, and now he had | failed. That was a natural humilia- tion and reproach to his pride, al though as his mind went back over! the scene he could detect no false | move on his part. Of course his al-| lowing his love for Edith Varney to| get the mastery df him had been wrong under the circumstances, but | that had not affected the failure or| success of his endeavors. | And his thoughts also were for the! woman.. He knew that she loved him, she had admitted it, but once his eyes had been opened, he could have told it without any admission at all All that he had suffered, she had suf- fered, and more. If she would be com- pelled to apologize for him, she would also be compelled to assume the de fensive for him. She loved him and she was placed in the fearful position of having to deal the blow. The words iwhich would presently fall from her ips would complete his undolug. They would blast his reputation for ever and send him to his death. He knew they would not be easy words for her to speak. He knew that what ever his merit or demerit, she would never forget thaf it was she who had compléted his ruin; the fact that she would also ruin the plan against her country would not weigh very heavily in her breaking heart against that present personal consideration--after & while maybe but not at first. And therefore he pitied her. % He drew himself erect to meet his fate like a man and waited. The wait Edith Varney was Baving Her own troubles. She knew aswell as anyone the importance of her testimony. She had come from the commissary general's vacant of- fiee and had deen back at the window enough to have heard the conver between Genera! the two men. She was an unusually | keen-witted girl and sha realised the situation to the full. Her confidence in her lover had been shaken, undermined, restored, and shaken again, until her mind was in a perfect whirl. She did not know, she could not tell whether he was what he seemed to be or not. It seemed like treachery to him, this uncertain. ty. It would be a simple mattér to corroborate Mr. Arvelsford at once, life of her lover hung upon her de cision. ! WHAT ward 'CORFSPONDENTS HAVE T0 TELL.
