A REBEL.

Captain Moorfield Drake, of the—th Massachusetts, came riding through the wood in a southerly direction. Through the trees on his right came the ruddy glow of the Virginian sun, now near its netting, It glistened intermittently upon the slwk Hanks of his roan mare, and touched the ruler's thm, smooth cheek ami brown mustache. Handsome and gallant he looked, this tall young oillcer ami no man in the regiment had braver record, or fairer prospects, than he. 111M Hocial qualities wnra fully on a level with his warlike one*. He was merry and good-humored a teller of capital slorie* a strict disciplinarian, yet popular with hi« men an inexhaustible gelier-up of and leader in all aorta of diversions to relieve the monotony of camp a man whom all women were apt to like, even when their political Hympathies were at variam*» will? bin anil a man who knew how to win a woman's heart gracefully, and perhaps with equal grace to leave it in the lurch, when tLe general commanding ordered a change of base. Such as ho wut, for good or evil, Captain Drake rode through tho wood that Aprn afternoon, until the trees thinned away, and alai^o, rambling house, with a broad piazza and open windows, appeared on a slight elevation Ijeyond. As he roilo up to the door, and nutig birnnelf out of the saddle, the ml rim of tlie uiin vanished behind the Western hill.

A negro led away his horse, and Capt. 1 rake sprang up the steps the piazza with alight foot, llefore ho reached the door, a slender figure, dressed in white, with a blue sash round her waist and a bow of the fame color in her dark hair, made her appeal ance on the broad threshold. Moorlleld Drake took both her hunds in his, and looked smilingly into her eyes, llcr eyes were blue, aud hud a certain gravity in their depths which remained, e*en beneath the light of pl«aan«»»hf*t irowflttoffthem. Drupe's eyes were gray and very bright, with a commanding glance, aud full of lifoand tho enjoyment of it. "Well, .Mademoiselle Marie, were you expect ng me?" •X,,—well, ves now that you nro here, 1 think 1 did. Can you remain long?" "Must 1h back by eight. I suppose you've heard the news? Are you glad or sorry?" "What news?" don't know? You're only half a rebel. I'll wager Miss Madge has all tho particulars at her tongue send. If 1 were l,eo, I'd have had her in the secret service long ago. She'd make an incomparable i-pv inakeyou believe black is wnite and even if she were caught, no one would have the heart to exeeiuo her. ilow lovely you

rle Cranstoun had never been successful in dis.Nimulation truth and simplicity were at the foundation of her nature. And now the dismay and tremor at her heart showed themselves only too visibly in her delicate and sensitive features, and In the une mseious clasping of her hands upon her lap. Her lips parted treinulouslv. but she did not sjieak.

Well, are vnu glad or sorr\ repeat tnl Capt. Drake, wish the impnWe .f victot who excits in his secur.ty. "Ilow soon do you mean to forget me?"

than anything in the world, aud I her at least till now." "Still we must keep nur secret for the present. She is very different from you she would fight against it—it wouldn do. When everything is arranged for our marriage' —Marie caught her ureatu —»'«be will know, of course, and she II submit to the inevitable but with things as they are, it wouldn be safe. So keep silent, dear, and trust tome. "I shall have nothing else to trust 4o you are all I have, and all I am is yours, I *aid she and the sad truth oi the words 1 penetrated to Capt. Drake's heart. Every man has bis highest moments and would maintain the level of them were it not for circumstances. "You shall never regret your trust, my darling," he said, and inwardly resolved that to it should be.

It was already dusk when he bade ber eood-night. Jfqthing had been seen or heard of .Mudge but she was of an independent temp«-r. nnd not accustomed to render an account of herself to any one so er nou-appeaianee caused even Mr.riu no anxiety. The Captain stepped from the window in which they had been standing on to the piazza, and th nee to the terrace, where lie waited for his horse to be brought to him. An object lying on the turf at his feet caught, his eye he stooped and picked it up. It was a ladv's glove he examined it it was not .Marie it belonged to Madge. At this moment the boy appeared with the horse Drake glanced toward the house, thrust the glove into the front of his blue uniform, leaped into the saddle and rode away.

A little later, Marie, sitting han-en-tranced in the shadowy room, alone and shaken with her new happiness, lieaid a footstep in the room overhead. It was Mufjtftrg room. Could she havo returned, then? Tne girl waited for a few moments to assure herself that her ears had not been mistaken, and then rose from her chair and went upstairs. She opened her sister's door and went in.

Madge was standing in the center or tho room, having apparently stopped short in pacing across it. It was too dark to see her face, but she said, in a somewhat harsh voice, "Well, what is it?" "Oh my dear, I want to kiss you I didn know you were at home. Why didn't you—" Hero she came up to her bister, put her arms round her, laid her cheek against her's and kissed her. "Why, Madge," she exclaimed, "your face is all wet, dear What is the matter Have you been crying "Crying? Nonsense. Whatbaveyou lioen doing thats the question. Come, confess!"

Mario blushed deeply, and was thankful to the darkne-s that veiled her. This was tho tirst s-euret she had had from her sister, and her whole soul yearned to tell it but she was faithful to Drake's wish: "Thero is nothing to confess,'' she Tailored.

Madge laughed. "Oh, so you've agreed to conceal it, have you? All I have to

say Is that lie's a great goose to imagine you could conceal anything.

It is not

so dark, Miss Marl !, "but that I can see his kisses on your lips. The next time you let a man make love to you, you should transact the business somewhere else than at an p'ii window. I came home half an hour ago—across the lawn.

There was a moment's silence then Marie uttfcred a low exelsmipMon. of pleasure. "Oh, 1 am so glad 1 she said. "1 should have been miserable not to tell viiu. He thought it best but he doesn't know you as I do.-' "Ah! You'imagine then that I'm going to bo delighted that Marie Cranstoun has engaged heiself to a Union ofliccr? Perhaps lie knew me better than you do.', "Why, Madge—' "Well, never mind. I'm nothing but a fool, after all. Unless a thing is put right before niy eyes, and held there, I never suspect it, anil 1 hardly lieliese the evidence of my se.ise even then. How long has ill's been going on, for pity's sake?

Marie remained standing where she was. At length, as her sister did not return to her. she said "Aro yon angry, then, dear?'* "I'm angry with everything except you -and him, of course. It's the time, and the eiieumstanecw that are out of joint. T,ee will W lure in two days.

"No low i»n I ever forgive you Y'oii an my sister, that's all. and 1 in ready to die for you. To see you happy—that's all 1 have to live for. Forgiveness is »n"ther thing.

It was about midnight when Capt. Drake issued quietly fiom his tent and passed through theoutposts of the camp, giving the password as he went. Entering the outskirts of a long belt of woodland, he faced the moon which was just lifting her diminished disk alxn'e the dark plain a taint warm air breathed from her, and brought the plvasai.' odor of the trees to the young man's nostrils

The soft mysterious light showed,biHj' lightly clad in fatigue cap "and jri^et, his 1 oofs incased in a thick pair of wool-

He walked onward lightly

As be emerged in the open space 10vond the tree the moonlight fell upon his face. In the shadow at the other side ef the little glade he saw a figure step forward to confront him—a figure Might, almost boyish, indistinctly visible. This figure seemed to raise its right arm to a level with the Captain's heart a slight ••lick accompanied the movement, answered by a thrill of the

us«

Captain's pulses.

Rut in a oment, to his intense surprise, instead of slopping a bullet, he saw his unknown adversary lower his arm,turn,and glide swiftly away through the forest. Though at first almost more disconcerted than if he had received tbe shot, Drake made shift to start in pursuit. But here he was at some disadvantage. Il waa extremely difficult to discern the fugitive among the shifting shadowsof the trees and being ignorant what course he was likely to take, it was

to rush forward at haphazard, belcsa Drake contrived to keep close upon the other's traces, opportunity to consider being led. It was hot

He stared at her. the two girls and three or four niggers"I see you've got the inside track* remarked tbe colonel, with a brief grin.

I may say, between yon and me. colonel, that my influence* such as it is, has been for their political enlightenment." "H'm Are thev both equally susceptible?" "Oh, sisters always think alike, replied Drake, laughing and coloring a little. "Well, sir," said tbe colonel after a moment, apparently dismissing the subject, "now 1 want you to read these two reports, and then examine this pian. Then I'll tell you my idea. So saying, the Colonel pushed over the document® in question, lit a pipe, aud placed his legs upon the other end of the table. "I guess I understand what you me^n, Colonel," said Drake, after about five minutes'inspection of the papers. "You think that information has been communicated at this point?" He had his linger under a certain spot in the plan. "Well, the evidence looks pretty plausible. Now what are your orders?" "In the first place, are you willing to, undertake the job?" "Certainly I am, sir." "It's no ordinary matter. This person* whoever it may lie, must have a tolera*, bly complete notion 6f our intentions. It's necessary he should be captured— taken alive—in order that we ntav question him. Very likely he may object to be captured—object practically, you understand. Well, Capt. Drake, he must be taken, and he must lie taken alive, and it must be done to-night. It may make all tbe difference between our retreat. ng before Lee aud bis before us. That's all, sir. If you succeed it may be a feather in your cap if you don't— "You may depend upon me, Colonel," interposed the young officer, rising and gathering up the papeis. "To-morrow morning I shall report." He saluted and went out. "H'm he's clever enough, no doubt, muttered the older warrior to himself when alone. "I wonder if he suspects? Well, if ho stands it, it'll betbe making of him and if he doesn't the sooner we know it the better. This is no time for looting."

Ten minutes later Diake and the spy were retracing their steps through the woods. The danger was past.

You had no information, then?" said

he.

Had I not She drew from tbe in-

bac*. He stared at her. "Why did you tell them you hadn't them?" "It might have led them to speak of things you have no right to hear." ••"Vou have sacrificed a great deal for me. Your news will not be of much use to-morrow." "1 was bound to save vou." "Why?"

She looked at him. His question reminded her that he was not aware of her knowledge of his engagemeut to Marie. He. for his part, was counting ou her supposed ignorance. After a pause, she chose to say: "I wished to do it that's all."

They went on for a time in silence. At la9t he said: "I believe the Colonel suspects you. There was something in his manner this evening that 1 didn't understand. I think he chose nie for this job because he knew that I knew you, and wished to test nie. It will be awkward going back to him with thisstory." "That's your own affair." "It won't do for you to show yourself, either. YOH would be arrested at once." "Well, that's my affair." "Look here, Madge," said the Captain, stopping short and confronting her, and laying his hand on her shoulder, "suppose we never go back at all—either of us? "What do you mean?" "I mean—that I care more for you than I do for anything else—thai I love you." "That's a lie." "It is tlie truth. I know it now, if I never knew it before. Say the word,and we will find the way to where we can be happy. You love me you have proved it."

How?"

"By what you have done to-night. "How will you prove that you love me?" "By giving up for you everything that a man can value—honor, friends, my country, my profession." "One thing more."

Wnat?

"Marie Cranstoun." There was a short silence. Drake's eyes met her's in the moonlight. "She has told you, then? he asked. "I saw you hold ber in your arms at the indow." "Well, so I did. And I told her that I loved her, and I fancied I did for the moment. But that isdone with forever. If she were the only woman leftalivein the world to-morrow, Icould not marry her. You are what I love we were made for each other. Such a meeting as ours to-night does not happen for nothing. I am not tho samo man I was yesterday. I vou." .»£ ,in* was speaking the truth- n«nv, aud the shock of that truth vibrated from his soul to hers. She could not hold it back, nor deny it. Some things utter them-

shrinking before 'the oncoming moon. Drake did not regret this. In a hunt of this kind, light always favors the hunter it reveals the quarry, while the pursuer is concealed in the shadow. So Drake stole silently and rapidly along, his keen senses made

Finally he stopped altogether, and after casting a searching glance round about,he stationed himself on the dark side of a large nine tree. There was nothing to do now but to wait, and he wailed "for what seemed to him a long time. At last he fancied he heard 8 faint, recurrent sound, such as might have boon made by a heedful footstep passing along tho forest. He listened intently, leaning a little forward from his concealment. The noise was no longer audible. But. just as drew back, something flashed through the air with a sound like a keen whisj*v,and Captain Drake had the pleasure of seeing a bowie-knife stiekinginto the tree exactly in the spot where his face had been, ft was not a iinieforthe leisurely eighing of alternative courses of action. Drake instantly sprang forward in tbe direction from which tho missile had leen hurled, drawing his revolver from his bek as he did so. Rearing in mind the Colonel'* orders as to taking his antagonist alive, his intention was not to tiro, but to intimidate. It was unlikely that the other had any weapon besides tlie bowie-knife, and that having miscarried, he was defenceless. The game seemed to incline in the Captain's favor.

And what will become of Marie?^" "She won't suffer much. She would love anvone who was kind to ber. "Well, maybe. Still, you know, we might think of her afterward, and be sorry.

But it might be avenged, Mdorfield. "In tbe next world, perhaps but we will enjoy thia." "We bave enjoyed It, *ald tbe girl.

She looked around her and drew a deep brtath theu she fixed her dark eyes 011 Moortield's face. She maintained the gaze for what seemed along time there was an almost terrible intensity in it, as if she were summoning forth bis spirit to meet hers.

At length her demeanor changed she gently opened her arms and lifted her face with a passionate invitation that made the blood tingle in Moor field's veins. He stepped lorwai... aud they kissed for the first lime—ami the last.

Presently she drew back a'paoeor two, her bosom*heaving, her features glorified and tremulous. She pressed her hands to her eves. As she slowly removed them her expression seemed to alter. Her lips were compressed a certain rigidity came over the contours of her face aud figure. As if mechanically and unconsciously, her light hand went to ber belt, and closed upon the handle of her revolver. She drew it and leveled it at ber lover and, as he held out his arms toward her. smiling at the jest, she shot him through the heart.

She stood over him as he lay, fumbling with her weapon, and murmuring to herself. But when tbe tioiseof voices and hurried movements became audible from the camp, she thrust the revolver back into her belt, and, with head raised, walked slowly and composedly in that, direction.

Some fifteen or twenty years ago the father and mother had a quarrel, and for a year tho former never spoke to the latter.
