CHAPTER IX. «(Gown NUED. ) “If you do that again,” cried Yates, clutching him by the throat, “ 1’ 11 choke JV“. But he did not need to do it again. The girl heard the cry, turned with a. frighten- ed 1001:, and was about tofiy into the house, when she recognized 13h? two. Then she ‘v ADV“ u..- -v- -0â€" came towards them. Yaites took his hand away from the constable’s throat. “ Where is your father or brother ‘2” de- manded the constable. “ 1 don’t know.” “ Where is your mother ‘2" “ She is over with Mrs. Howard who is ‘IN THE MIDST 0F ALARMS. “ 'i'hgn I command you in the name of the Queen to give no assistance to this prifoher: Put. to do as I tell-you.” “_,,_A -t “ And I command you in the name of the President,” cried Yates, " to keep your mouth shut and not to address a. lady like thanâ€"Kitty,” he continued, in a. milder tone, could you tell me where to get a. file, so that I may out these wrist-ornaments? Don’t you get it. You are to do nothing. Just indicate where the file is. The law mustn’t have any hold on you, as it seems to have on me.” “ Why don’t you make him unlock them ‘2” asked ‘Kiggy, “ Because the? villain threw away the key in the fields.” “ He couldn’t have done that.” The constablg caught; h_is breath. “ But. he did. I saw. ” “ And I saw him unlock them at break- fast. The key was on the end of his watch- chain. He hasn’t throw} that away.” She made a move to take out his' watch- chaig, bqt Yatges gtoppeclher :_ “ Don’t touch hmi.‘ I’m playing a lone hand here.” He jerked out the chain, and the reg! key singled £30m it- _ “ W'ell; Stoliker,” he said, “ I don’t know which to admire .nost. your clever- ness and luck, stupidity. or Miss Batt- lett’s acuteness of obserVatiomâ€"Can we get into the barn, Kitty ?” “Yes. but. you musn’c hurt him.” “No fear. Ithink too much of him. Don’t you come in. I’ll be out'in a. mom- ent, like the medium from a. spiritualistic dark cabinet.” Entering the barn, Yates forced the con- stable up against the square oaken post which was part of the framework of the building, and which formed one side of the perpendicular ladder that led to the top of the Iggy-meg. “ Now, Stoliker,” he said, solemnly, “ you realize, of course, that I don’t want to hurt you,yet you also realize that I must hurt you if you attempt any tricks. I can’t take any risks ; please remember that ; and recollect that by the time you are free again I shall be in the State of New York. So don’t compel me to smash your head against this post. He, with some trouble, unlock- ed the clasp on his own wrist ; then, draw- ing Stoliker’s right hand around, the post. he snapped the same clasp on the constable’s hitherto free wrist. The unfortunate man“ with his cheek agfi’inst the oak. was in the‘ comical position of lovingly embracing the ; post. 1 i “ I’ll get you a chair from the kitchen, so that you will be more comfortable,â€" unless, like Samson, you can pull down the supports.

Yates not-iced that. the firing had ceased, except a. desultory shot here and there across the counfry. ‘ - “ You ME much safer hére,” said the girl, with downcaat eyes. “A man has brought the news that the United States gunboats are sailing up and down the river, making prisoners of all who attempt to cross from this side.” “ I shall have to get over the border as quickly as I can, ” he continued; “ This coun_t_ry is getting too hot for me.’ “You don’t say! Well, I might have known that. Then what am I to do with Stcliker? I can’t keep 31m tied up here. Feathe moment he gets loose I’m done or.’ 'Yates went out to the girl, who was wait- ing f_or him. “ Perhaps mother could persuade him not to ‘dg ainyghipg tpqre. Shall I go for hf}? ?" “ I doir‘t think it would be any use. Stol- iker’ s a stubborn animal. HeJias suffered too much at my hands to be in a. forgiving mood. VVe’ll bring him a chair, anyhow, and see the effect of kindness on him.” When the chair was placed at Stoliker's disposal, he sat dowu upon it, still hugging the post with an enforced fervency that in spite of the solemnity of the occasion near- ly made Kitty laugh, and lit up her eyes with the misohievousness that had aIWays delighted Yates. .. n u .c -c‘ Q t “CHOW long am I to be kept here ‘3” asked the constable. “0h. not long,” answered Yates, cheer- ily ; “ not amomenb longer than is neces- sary.

I have been thinking all this over. I am under the sheriff’s orders, and not under the orders of that oficer.

Let us go and see. ” CHAPTER X. The man who wanted to see the fight did not see it, and the man who did not want to see it saw it. Yates arrived on the field of conflict when all was over ; Renma-rk found the battle raging around him before he realized that things had reached a crisis. The result. of the sEruggle was similar in effect to an American rarlway accident of the first class. One officer and five privates were killed on the Canadian side. one man was missing, and many were wounded. The number of the Fenian; killed will probably never be known. Several were “buried on the field of battle, others were taken back by O’Neill’s brigade when they retreated. JAlthough the engagement resulted as Yates had predicted, yet he was wrong in his estimate of the Canadians. Volunteers are invariably under ted by men of exper- ience in military ma. rs. The boys fought well. even when the aw their cnsign fall dead before them. the affair had beeni left entirely in thei ds the result might have been difi‘cre was shown after- wards, when the unteers, unimpeded by regulars, quickl down a much more formidable rising in' e Northwest. But in the present case they were hampered by their dependence on the British troops, whose commander ' .cd them with all the ponderous slowness of real war and ap- proached O’Neill asif he had been approach- ing Napoleon. Ho ti us managed to get in a day after the fair 0 every'occasicn,being too late for the fight t Ridgeway and too late to capture any c sideral‘le number of the flying Fenians at 1 ort Erie. The cam- paign on the Canadian side was magnifi- cently planned and wretchedly carried out. The volunteers and regulars were to meet at a. point close to where the fight tool: ‘place, but the British commander delayed two hours in starting, which fact the Cana- dian colonel did not learn until too late. These blunders culminated in a ghastly ‘ mistake on the field. The Canadian colonel ordered his men to charge across an open ‘ field and attack the Fenian force in the woo<is,â€"-a brilliant but foolish move. To the command the volunteers gallantly re- sponded, but against stupidity the gods are powerless. In the field they were appalled to hear the order given to form square and receive cavalry. Even the school-boys kn_e_w the lfenians could have no cavalry. Having formed their square, the Cana- dians found themselves the helpless targets of the Fenians in the woods. If O’Neill’s forces had shot with reasonable precision, they must have cut the volunteers " to pieces. The volunteers were victoroius if ‘ they had only known it, but, in this hope- 1 less square, panic seized them, and it was every man for himself; and at the same time the Fenians were also retreating as fast' as they could. This farce 13 known as the battle of RidgeWay, and would have been comical had it not been that death hovered over it. The comedy without the tragedy‘ was enacted a day or tt’vo before, at a blood- less skirmish which took place near a. ham- let Bcalled Waterloo, which lafi'ray is digni- fied in Canadian annals as the second battle of that name. When Yates reached the tent he found it empty and torn by bullets. The fortunes of war had smashed the jug, and the fragments were strewn in front of the entrance, probably by some disap- pointed‘ man Who had tried to sample the contents and had found nothing. Yates was tired out. He flung himself down on one of the deserted bunks, and was soon sleeping almost as soundly as the man be- hind a log not six feet away with his face among the dead leaves. When the Canadian forces retreated, Renmark, who had watched the contest with all the helpless anxiety of a non-com- batant, sharing the danger but having no influence upon the result, foliowed them, making a. Wide detour so as to avoid the chance shots which were still flying. He expected to come up with the volunteers on the road, but was not successful. Through various miscalculations, he did not succeed in finding them until towards even- ing. At first they told him that young Howard was with the company and unhurt, but further inquiry soon developed the fact that he had not been seen since the fight. He was not fmong those who were killed or wounded, and it was nightfall before Ren- mark realizel that opposite ‘his name on the roll would be placed the ominous word “missing.” Reumark remembered that the boy 'had said he would visit his home if he got leave ; but no lenve‘ had been asked for. At last Renmark was convinced that young Howard was either bad'y wounded or dead. The possibility of his desertion the professor did not : onsider for a. moment, although he admitted to himself that it was hard to tell what panic of fear might come over a. boy who for the first, time in his life found bullets flying above his ears. \Vith a. heavy heart, Renmark turned back and made his way to the fatal field. He found nothing on the Canadian side. Gomg over to the woodsfihe came across‘ several bodies lying where they fell; but they were all strangers. Even in the darkness he-would have had no difficul- ty in recognizing the volunteer uniform which he know so well. He walked down to the Howard homestead, hoping yet fear- ing to hear the boy’s vmce,â€"the voice of a. deserter. Everything was silent about the house, although a. light shone through an upper window and also through one below. Be paused at the gate. not knowing what to do. It was evident the boy Was not here, yet how to find the father or brother without alarming Margaret or her moth. er puzzled him. As he stood there, the door opened, and he recognized Mrs. Bartlett and Margaret standing in the light. He moved away from the gate, and heard the olderwornan say,â€"â€" ,, “ Oh, she will be allright in the morning, now that she has fallen into a nice sleep. I wouidn’t disturb her to-night, if I were you. It is nothing but. nervousness and fright; an Atha‘. horrible firing. It’s all aver now, thank God. Good-night, Margaret.” The good woman qetno through the gate, and then ran with all the speed of sixteen towards her own home. Margaret stood in the doorway, listening to the retreating, footsteps. She was pale and anxious, but Renmark thought he had never seen anyone 5° 1°V91Y. and he was startled to find th athv had a moat umprofcssor-like longing tn Fake her in his arms and comfort her, a. feel- 13.3 Which had never assailed him in the dim ea ucationaicorridorsof thestately universxty b ilding.

He is not with them now. They don’ t know where he is. No one saw him hurt, but it is feared he was, and that he has been left behind. I have been all over the ground. ” “ Yes, yes.’ “ But I could not find him. I came here hopingto find him.” 2‘ Take me to Where the volunteers were,” she sobbed. “ I know what; has happened. Comgggickly.” “No, no. Come at once.” Then, paus- ing, she said, “ Shall we need a. lantern?” “ No ; is is light enough when we get out from the shadow of the house.” “ Will yofi not put something on your head '2” Margaret run along the road so swiftly that Renmurk had some trouble in keeping pace with her. She turned at the side-road and sped up the gentle ascent to the spot Where the volunteers had crossed it. “ Here is the place,” said Reumark. “ He could not have been hit in the field,” she cried, breathlessly, “ for then he might have reached the house at the corner without 0" hing a. fence. If he was badly hurt he 4- - ‘ have been Ira: Did you search this "M. "I. I “Every bit of it. He is not here.” “ Then it must have happened after he crossed the road and the second fence.

He would be the last to retreet ; and that is why the others did not see him,” said the girl, with confident prlde in her brother’s courage. They crossed the first fence, the road,a.nd the second fence, the girl Walking ahead for a. fewpaces.

Search down along the fence. 1â€"?! cannot go.” Renmark walked along the fence, peering into the dark corners made by the zigzag of the rails, and he knew, without looking back, than: Margaret; with feminine incon- sistency was following him. Suddenly she darted past him and flung herself down in the lone grass, wailing out; a. cry that cut Renmagk like a. knife. The boy lay rwith his face in the grass and his outstretched band grasping the lower rail of the fence. He had dragged himself this far and. reached an insurmountable obstacle.

The pro‘ 1 lessor examined the young soldier in the mean time, and found his leg had been broken by a. musket-ball. ‘ He raised him up tenderly in his arms, and was pleased to hear a. groan escape his lips. He walked through the open gap and along the road to wardsâ€"the house, bearing the unconscious form of his pupil.
