In THE DERATABLE LAND.

CHAPTER IX. BY MOONLIGHT. Those lines told a story too ominons to be disregarded. The hand in which they were written was labored and disguised, but Lieutenant Oakman knew the writer as unerringly as did the one who penciled the words. He held the candle that he had brought to his apartment in front of the slip of paper until every syllable was read. Then he turned the missive over and glanced at the other side. There was nothing more. The fateful message was stamped upon his brain forever. Setting down the candle, he twisted up the paper, held one end to the flame and did not stir until the charred atoms dropped to the floor. Every vestige was gone, and no harm could ever come to the writer of the friendly warning. The office sat down in his chair, which was placed close to the window, whose sash was raised. It was through that window that the hand was thrust in answer to his signal from the margin of the wood. What had become of that individual who thus began a stealthy communication only to terminate it abruptly at sight of the negro lad standing near the Union officer? How came he in that room and whither had he taken himself during the stay of the prisoner ? Apparently it was not these questions that perplexed Oakman. His thoughts ran in a different channel.

When he bade his friends good night below stairs, it was with the understanding that he was to remain in the house until the morrow, when L 9 would ride away on the horse of Captain Trenholrn. Bnt here was an unmistakable notification that the life of the guest depended upon his leaving the dwelling before sunrise. “What will not a man give in exchange for his life?” The officer implicitly believed the words penciled cn the paper, bnt there were several things in this business that he could not understand. While it wgs impossible to implicate Miss Eldridge, it was almost as difficult to suspect Captain Trenholm, and yet to believe the note almost forced the latter conclusion. When the mind enters upon'the path of suspicion, scores of suggestions seem to intensify one’s distrust. The captain lamented his inability to provide the exchanged prisoner with an escort, and yet, with Miss Eldridge’s animal at command, he could have accompanied him until such escort was secured. Was that letter, written below stairs with snch a parade, an honest one? Would not those who stopped the horseman on his way read something between the lines, not legible to the bearer? Would not the presence of the Union officer in the saddle of the Confederate’s horse be taken as damnidfe proof against him? Was not the insistence of the captain that their guest should stay in the honse until morning designed to help those that were plotting against his life ? The dismal state of the lieutenant’s mind can be understood when it is added that he not only asked himself these questions, bnt was unable to answer them satisfactorily to himself. Opposed to these misgivings was the almost self evident fact that Captain Trenholm, like all his associates, was an honorable officer.lt was inconceivable that he would engage in anything like treachery. Could it be that his intrusion upon the scene, as the betrothed of Miss Eldridge, had, all unsuspected by Oakman, something to do with his distrust of the man ?

Bnt, seated by his window, the lieutenant felt that he might go on speculating and theorizing until involved in an inextricable maze. As an intelligent being he must resolutely face the facts and guide his course accordingly. Self preservation demanded that he should leave that honse at night and by stealth, and he determined to do so. He had precious little in the way of luggage to incumber him. He carried only a few small toilet articles in one of his pockets, and that included all he brought to the mansion of General Eldridge. It was with a curious emotion that he examined the sleeve of his military coat The slash made by the knife of Jim Ackers, the better to examine the wound, had been sewed together with snch deftness that the seam was hardly visible. And the needle and thread that did it were manipulated by the dainty fingers of Mies Eldridge. Lieutenant Oakman suddenly gripped the sleeve fiercely to tear it asunder. Then his face flashed with shame at the unworthy thought. Had he possessed an extra garment he would have donned it and treasured the mended coat to the end of his life. He gathered his few personal belongings and placed them in his pocket. Then the revolver was examined, in-' eluding his small supply of cartridges. He felt no pain in his wounded arm, thongh it had not perfectly healed. For all purposes it was as strong and as serviceable as ever. Then he softly blew out the candle and again sat down by the window. Listening carefully, he could hear no aonnd of voices below stairs. Indeed it was . understood when he bade his

BY EDWARD

friends good night that it was the intention of all to retire. The stairs in the other division of the house had been used, which accounted for his not hearing any footsteps. The question he asked himself was whether he should descend and leave by a lower door or drop from the window. If Captain Trenholm suspected anything of the kind, he would doubtless be on the ivatch, in which event the window was preferable. The distance was so moderate that by hanging from the sill the fall would hardly jar him. He rose to his feet and looked out. The round, full moon was high in the sky, with a few. ragged clouds drifting past, but the building itself was wrapped in shadow. The stillness was profound. A low, hollow murmur seemed to be brooding in the air, like the faint

A minute later the form came into plain sight. moaning of the distant sea, and which has been compared to the “voice of silence. ' ’ Amid the loneliness he did not see the twinkle of a point cf light from any dwelling of the neighborhood. It was as if he stood alone in the midst of a primeval solitude. Like the veteran soldier who has decided upon his line of action, the lieutenant did not hesitate. He felt a deep humiliation in leaving that hospitable home in so stealthy a fashion. It seemed an ungrateful return for all the kindnesses received, and he had debated with himself the question of placing a note on his stand for Mrs. Eldridge, but what should he write? He could make no explanation without drawing suspicion to the means by which he had been warned, and that was not to be thought of. “No,” he muttered. “They must think what they choose. Perhaps the day may come when I can tell them something, but at present everything must wait.” Sinewy and active, he readily let himself out of the window, and when he hang suspended for a minute by his two hands he knew his feet were only a brief distance from the ground. Then he let go and struck so lightly that the jar was hardly felt. He was now among the trees, whose branches despite the lateness of the season still held enough leaves to surround him with gloom, through which the moonbeams penetrated only at widely aeparated intervals. Resting his hand upon the pistol at his hip, he peered around with the utmost intensity of vision, and while doing so both eye and ear brought him startling knowledge. A door on the other side of the house was opened and closed. The sound was slight, but in the profound stillness he heard it too distinctly to be mistaken. “It is the captain, ” thought Oakmau. “He is on the watch and does not mean that I shall elude him. It looks as if there must be a fight. ’ ’ The testimony of the eye came a moment later. Perhaps 20 feet away and somewhat to the left something moved. The lieutenant happened not to be looking directly at the spot, but the shadowy disturbance in his field of vision left no doubt that it was a man with the corollary that the officer had an enemy both at the front and at the rear of the building.

CHAPTER X. A MERITED OPINION. Lieutenant Oakman drew his revolver and held his position beneath the window, close to the side of the honse. If his enemies attacked, as he expected them to do, they would not find him unprepared. Standing thus, he kept his gaze fixed upon the point where the flitting form of a man bad shown a moment before. It was impossible to guess aronnd which end of the dwelling the second individual would appear, but the officer was sure he would hear the stealthy footstep in time to be ready for him. Two or three minutes had passed, when a faint flicker under the trees indicated that his foe was moving; but, instead of approaching the lieutenant, he' began edging toward the farther side of the grove. Had he been the only foe to consider Oakman would have run forward and, revolver in hand, called him to account, but there was no saying how many others were near, and the officer would

have been a poor soldier thus to uncover himself. As the man receded be came into plainer view because of the moonlight, which was less obstructed, nntil finally he walked ont from the streaked shadows and began ascending a slight rise lying just beyond. This brought him into distinct sight, and, with an involuntary exclamation of surprise, the lieutenant recognized him. There was no mistaking that flapping straw hat. the stooped shoulders and the shuffling gait. They could belong to no one but Pete, the old slave of General Eldridge. “So it is he who has been plying thp spy!” muttered the lieutenant to himself. “I know of the confidence which these people place in their colored servants, but hardly thought it extended to the point of setting one of them to watch the action of a guest.” The negro was plodding in the direction of his own cabin and walking faster than usual, as if his errand was urgent. “He is not going home, but to apprise others of my flight. Pete must have seen me drop from the window despite the darkness —sh!” In the flurry of the moment the officer had forgotten the second person, but another dim flickering near the point where the African had been standing apprised him that despite his watchfulness this individual had passed around the end of the house, joined Pete under the trees and was now stealing back again to the front of the dwelling. Oakman's position was the more favorable, for not only was the side of the building near the ground completely veiled in shadow, but be kept so close that at every stealthy step his elbow brushed the structure. His intention was to intercept Captain Trenholm—for he was certain it could be no one else — and to force a reckoning with him. Half the intervening distance was passed when Oakman paused, fearful of going farther lest he should betray himself. He could make out the figure 'that was moving toward the front of the dwelling unaware that if he continued in a direct line he must inevitably reveal himself by crossing a brief space partly illumined by the moon’s rays. A minute later the form came into plain sight and was identified by Oakman, who if astonished when he recognized the slave was literally dumfounded by the discovery that the person before him instead of being Captain Trenholm was Miss Eldridge. The revolver almost dropped from his grasp and he stared in open mouthed amazement until the young woman passed from sight, stepped lightly cn the porch and entered the dwelling, closing the door after her.

Never for an instant had he dreamed that it could be she who had met the slave under -fne trees, held a whispered conference with him and then returned within doors, where it was not to be supposed her mother or Captain Trenholm had any knowledge of her extraordinary conduct. But she had come and gone like a phantom of the night, and the quick witted officer readily solved the meaning of it all. “She warned me of my danger before the coming of Captain Trenholm. She showed me that my only safety lay in departing at once. The assuring words of that officer may have calmed her fears for a time, but they did not remove them. She believed it was the same with myself. She ordered Pete to bring her horse from his hiding place and to watch whether I attempted to leave secretly. If I did so, he was to place the animal at my disposal.” This explanation of what he had seen was so reasonable that the lieutenant accepted it as the true one, even thongh some of its phases were not wholly reasonable. Why did not the African go straight up to the officer, when he saw him drop to the gronnd, and make the situation clear, instead of affecting all this mystery? Doubtless he was acting under the orders of his yonng mistress. Bnt why did she give such strange directions, and why did she herself act so whimsically? The answer that Lieutenant Oakman gave to these puzzling questions conld not have been surpassed in wisdom: “She is a woman. ” But he had put his hand to the plow, and it was too late to turn back. He had resolved to get out of the neighborhood withont delay, and, valuable as a fleet horse would have been to him, nothing conld have induced him to accept the favor at the hands of Miss Eldridge. Passing forward among the trees, he made a wide circuit beyond and finally vaulted the low fence into the highway, over a portion of which he had ridden, when he left General Sherman’s army to enter upon the most memorable experience of his life. He was now in the vivid moonlight Looking up at the sky, he saw that the ragged, fleecy clouds had drifted past and the orb was swimming through the clear space, wi& its rays free and unobstructed, as they promised to be for several hours to come. The stillness remainedaas impressive as before. Not a twinkle of light gleamed in any direction. bnt from some distant point came the faint crowing of a cock, who, after repeating the call several times, was answered by another from a spot still more remote. Probably these fowls on awaking at night recalled the fact that they were crtill alive after the passage of Sherman’s army near them and they could not help “crowing” over their good fortune. The officer’s pause at the side of the highway was brief. He struck off at a swinging pace, but had gone leas than a hundred yards when he was checked by a ghostly: “Hello, darl” The voice was from the rear. Instinctively drawing his pistol the lieutenant wheeled about to meet the new danger.

Pete, the old negro slave] was lead* ing a handsome mottled pony, bridled and saddled, through a gap in the fence. Oakman calmly waited nntil he came up, when he asked brusquely; “Well, Pete, what do yon want with met” “Reckon yo’ knows, boss. Miss Adele done send me wid her hoss Jack a-sayin dat yo’ am to take him wid yo’ an ride like blazes, an yo’ needn’t be ’tickler to send him back, bein as yo’ may not hab de chance”—The animal was a beautiful pony, and would have borne his rider with the speed of the wind. He was beyond Yalue to the fugitive, who folded hia arms, looked sternly at the African and said in measured tones: “Give my thanks and compliments to Miss Eldridge and tell her that, inasmuch as Captain Trenholm expressed his displeasure last evening at the idea of my using her horse, I could not allow her to run the risk of offending him. ” Pete stood a moment In silence, with one hand holding the bit of the superb beast. Then he scratched that part of his crown which showed through the opening in his hat. v “I knows, boss, dat yo’ hab said sumfin, bnt de debbil himself can’t make out de meanin ob it. ’ ’ Lieutenant Oakman was too much in earnest to smile. He simplified his language and made it clear that he declined to make use of Miss Eldridge’s horse, for reasons explicitly set forth. Pete nodded his head and grunted. Made angry by his own meanness, the officer turned about and strode off without another word. He had gone but a little way, when Pete called to him. “Well, what is it?” demanded Oakman, turning impatiently around. “I forgot to tole yo’ sumfin. ” “Be quick about it!” “■When* dat Union army marched frough Jawgy, it luff behind de all firedest fool dat eber come out ob Yankeeland! Goodnight, boss!” To Be Continued.

A Simple Water Mill.

A simple tvater mill that belongs to the class of “reaction” mills, which are turned one way in the effort to throw a stream of water in the opposite direction, is made of a clay pipe. Cut away one side of the mouth end of the stem with a knife (not your best one) or rub it away with a file or on a grindstone—that is to say, until you have laid bare, so to speak, the bore of the stem for half an inch or bo. Then stop the hole, both at the end and at the side, with sealing wax, leaving only a small round hole at the point farthest from the end. Now all you have to do is to fasten a fine cord with sealing wax to the edge of the bowl at the precise point that comes nearest to the smoker’s mouth. Tie the other end of the cord to the chandelier or other convenient object and pour water gently into the bowl. A fine jet of water will shoot out sidewise from the little hole in the stein, and the pipe will begin turning. It will keep on turning as long as there is any water in the bowl and indeed a good deal longer by the effect of momentum.
