Lidia But Arrelsford, who chafed at thus being left out of the game, now stepped over and took up the burden of the conversation before the ser geant could reply. » "We have done everything accord- ing 'to regulation, sir," he sald, salut: ing In a rather cavalier manner. He did not like General Randolph. If it had not been for his interference, the affair would have been settled long" ago, and he still cherished a grudge against the.latter for having arrested a man so important as the trusted agent of the secret service. "The findings have gone to secretary." 'Abh!" sald General Randplph bland- ly. He did not like Mr. Argplsford any better than Mr. Arrelsford@iked him. "Yes, sir." "And he was found guilty, I pre- sume?" "Certainly, sir" "And what are you going to ao with him?" "There is no time for a hanging : i Say That Dispatch Was Not Sent," He Roared. now, and the court has ordered him shot." "Oh, indeed. And what were the charges?" "Conspiracy against our government and the success of our arms, by send- ing a false and misleading dispatch containing forged orders, was the par- ticular specification." "Well," sald General Randolph, "I regrei that the court has been misin- formed." "What!" surprise plain." "Yes, sergeant. "Nevertheless," retugned the gen- eral, "the man is not guilty of that charge. The dispatch was not sent." Now Edith Varney had scarcely moved: She had expected nothing, she had hoped for nothing from the advent of the general. At best it would mean only a little delay. The verdict was just, the sentence was adequate, and the punishment must and would be carried out. She had listened, scarcely €pprehending, busy with her own thoughts, her eyes fas tened on Thorne, who stood there so pale and composed. But at this re markable statement by General Ran- dolph she was suddenly quickened into life. A low exclamation broke from her lips. A hope, not that his life might be saved, but that it might be less shameful to love him, came into her heart. Wilfred stepped. forward also. The terse statement of the general had caused a great deal of excitement and commotion in the room. Only Thorne preserved his calmness. He was glad that Edith Varney had learned this, and he was more glad that she had learned it from the lips of the enemy, but it would make no difference in his fate. He was not] guilty of that 'particular charge,. but there were dozens of other charges for which they could try him, the pun- {shment of any one of which was death. Besides, he was a spy caught in the Confederate lines, wearing a uniform not his own. It was enough that the woman should learn that he had not taken advantage of her ac- tion: at least she could not reproach herself with that. "Why, general" began Arrelsford, greatly dismayed. "1 hardly under- stand what you mean. That dispatch --1 saw him myself--" General Randolph turned on him in great was very cried Arrelsford, "The testimony " {interposed the indeed, sir "I say that dispatch was not sent," he roared, striking the table with his' hand. "1 expected to arrive in time' for the trial. "There is one here who can testify. Lieutenant Foray?" From amogg the group of staff of-| ficers who had followed General Ran-' dolph, Lieutenant Foray stepped for ward before the general and saluted. "Did Captain Thorne send out that! dispatch after we left you with him! in the office an hour ago?" asked the older officer. + "No, a a Stavwered Foray promptly. glancing from . ; thwarted | | trom his lips broke a murmured: to Bdith 'Varney's face, fo which saw the light of a great Nlumtnation| was shint "No, sir," he repeated; "1 was just about to send it by his or! ders, when he countermanded it and; tore up the dispatch." "And what dispatch was it? "It was one signed by the secretary' of war, sir, removing Marston's divi~ sion from Cemetery Hill™ "You hear, gentlemen," said the gene eral, and, not giving them time to an- swer, he 'turned again to Foray. "What were Captain Thorne's words at the time?" "He sald he refused to act under that commission, and crumpled it up and threw it away." ~ . "That will do, MNeutenant" said "General, Randolph triumphantly. He turned to Arrelsford again. "If you are not satisfied, Mr. Arrelsford, I beg to inform you that we have a dispatelr from General Chesney at the front, in which he says that no orders were re- celved from here. He got an uncom- pleted dispatch, but could not make anything out of it. Marston's division was not withdrawn from Cemetery Hill, and our position was not weak- ened in any way. The attack there has failed." There was a low murmur of astonishment from the group of men in the room. Edith Varney did one significant thing. She made two steps in Thorne's direction. That young man did not dare to trust himself to look at her. "It is quite plain," cob- tinued the general, "that the court has been acting under an error. The president of the Confederacy is, there- fore, compelled to disapprove the find- ing, and it is set aside. He happened to be with the secretary when the find- ing came in" ~ Arrelsford made one last desperate effort "General do him justice, age, "this was and--" "I tuke it out of your hands' he sald curtly. "Report back to the war office, or the secret service office, with my compliments, and "But there are other charges upon which he could be tried," persisted Arrelgford He is a spy anyway, and---"' . "I believe-1 gave you your orders, Mr. Arrelsford," interrupted the gen- eral with suspicious politeness ut hadu't 1 better wait see--"" NN "By God, sir," thundered Randolph, "do I have to explain my orders to the whole secret service of the Confed- eracy? Don't wait to see anything lo at once, or I will have you es corted by a file of soldiers." Arrelsford would have defled the general if there had been the least the world in doing it, but the | wag clearly up for the present. | He would try to arrange to have | Thorne re-arrested and tried as a | spy later. Now he could do nothing He walked out of the room, pride en- abling him to keep up a brave front, but with disappointment and resent- ment raging in his heart. He did pot | realize that his power had been Withdrawn In game that they had played, he had | lost at all points. They all watched him go, not a single one in the room with sympathy, or even pity "Now, sergeant." sald the geserat, | { they heard the heavy hall door "l want to speak to the pris- Randolph," he said, and, to he did not lack cour- put in my hands, and use in game the great | as close; oner." "Order arms'" cried the sergeant. ! "Parade rest!" As the squad assumed these positions in obedlenee to his commands, the sergeant continued, "Fall out, the prisoner." Thorne stepped forward one pace from the ranks, and saluted the gen- | eral. He kept his eyes fixed upon that | gentleman, and it was only the throb- bing of his heart that made him aware | that Edith Varney was by his side. She bent her head toward him; he | felt her warm breath against his cheek as she whispered: i "Oh! Why didn't you tell me? 1] thought you sent it, I thought you--" "Miss Varney!" exclaimed the gen- | eral in surprise But Edith threw maidenly reserve | to the winds. The suddenness of the | revelation overwhelmed her ! "There is nothing against him, Gen- eral Randolph, now; is there? He didn't send it. There's nothing to try him for!" she said General Randolph smiled grimly at her. "You are very much mistaken, Miss | Varney," he answered. "The fact of | his being caught in our lines without | his proper uniform is enough to hang him in ten minutes." . Bdith caught her heart with her hand with a sharp exclamation, but General Randolph turned to speak to the prisoner. "Captain Thorne," he sald, "or Lew- is Dumont, if that is your name; the ipresident is fully informed regarding the circumstances of your case, and I needn't say that we look upon you as wu cursed dangerous character. There isn't any doubt whatever that you ought to 'be shot right now, but, con" sidering the damned . peculiarity of your behavior, and that you refused to send out that dispatch when you might have done so, we've decided to keep you out of mischief some other way. You will be held a prisoner of war." Captain Thorne was almost too dazed to realize the purport of the decree. He mechanically saluted, and "Thank you, sir." The general looked at him severely, and then, seeing Edith Varney, turned away and engaged in conversation with his staff. His intention was ob vious, and Edith immediately <m- 'braced the opportunity. "Oh'" she said; "that isn't nearly 80 bad as death," and before them all she stretched out her hand to him. "No? queried Thorne in a low volee. . "No," she sald, forcing herself to a. at him. over Thorne |. | prisoner! | who won. | tack on Cemetery Hill had failed t bered. | night, "After & while perhaps --some time--" . "Oh!"™ said Thorne. "Some time? If it's some time, that's enough." Mrs. . Varney, having succeeded in getting Howard quiet and composed, had been in the room since the ad- vent of General Randolph. "Mamma," sald Baith, Won't you speak to him, too? Mrs. Varney approachied Sin but Wilfred was quicker, "I would like to shake hands with you," he said, with boyish enthusi- Bem. Mie A a- "What, again?" said Thorne, smil- ing. "Ali right", He stretched out his hand. "Go ahead." "And so would 1." sald Caroline, fol- lowing the lead of her boy lover. "Don't be afraid now," said Wilfred. "Everything will be all' right. They will give you a parole, and--" : "A parole!" sald Caroline. "Good ness gracious, they will give you hun- dreds of them, | am sure." But General Randolph turned once more. "One moment, please," said the offi- cer. As he came forward, the others fell back. Only Edith Varney kept her place close * by Thorne"s side. "There is only one reason -on earth why the. president has set aside a certain verdict of death. You held up that false order and made a turn in our favor. You are not to be tried-as & py, but held as a prisoner of war We expect you to make that turn complete and enter our service." "Never," replied Thorne instantly "That's impossible; sir." "You can give us 'your answer later," said the general. "You have it now." "You will be kept in close confine ment until you come to our terms," continued the older officer. : "You make me a prisoner for life, then." "You will see it in another light be fore many days, and it wouldn't sur prise me if Miss Varney had some- thing to do with a ohange in your views." "You are mistaken, General Ran- dolph," quickly interposed Edith. "I think he is perfectly right." "Oh, very well," sald the general, smiling a little. "We will see what a little prison life will do. Sergeant?" "Yes, sir." "I have turned the prisoner over to Major Whitfleld. He requests you to take the prisoner to his office, where he'll take charge of him." "Very good, sir," answered the ser géant. "What is it?" whispered Thorne to Edith. "Leve and goodby?" "No," answered the girl; "only the first! She stopped and looked at him, her face flushed, her heart throbbing, her eyes shining gloriously. "And that every day, every hour, every min- ute, until we meet again." . "Thank God," whispered Thorne. "Until we meet again." "Attention!" cried the sergeant Carry arms! Left face!" Fall in, the Forward--march!"

London, July 14.---A tangled matri- monial tale was told during a probate in Dublin yesterday. In 1877 a soldier named Bernard Donuelly mar- ried a Margaret Donnelly. They lived together until 1878, when Donnelly went to South Africa. In 1882 Mar- garet Donnelly was informed by the war office that her husband was dead. In 1885 she married Patrick Mooney, ind lived with him until 1890, when Bernard Donnelly returned, and claim- ed her as his lawful wife.

Major- Geberal Sir Hugh Mo- Calmont, a former unionist member of parliament, has brought action against the county of Antrim for $55, M0 for the destruction of his house, \bbeylands, which was burned by the militants in March. Ihe action brought under a law that applies only to Ireland, and which was enacted at the time the nationalists were carry- ing on a militant. campaign in favor of home rule. Under this a county is responsible for any damage done by mobs or persons and must also pay lor any extra police protection sent in anticipation of violence. Should Gen- eral McUalmont be successful in his claim the taxpayers of Antrim will have to pay an extra tax of nearly eightpence in the pound next vear, Larger Telegraph Force For Army Berlin, July 14.--October 1st will see an increase of the "'telegraphic'" de- tachment of the German army by a new battalion.
