[ thought there was but one flag. and that you all served un- der it" “That is what | was brought up to believe,” replied the young lieutenant. “but some unaccountable change has | come about.” “But it seems to me,” interposed Kerchival West, “that the people of Charleston are taking an extraordinary interest in the preparations to bow | bard Fort Sumter. They look forward to such an event as if it were to be a gala day.” It was at this juncture that Mrs | Haverill appeared. Before she had time to join the group Thornton has tened forward to meet her and said in a low, hurried tone: “] must see you alone. portant news for you.” “Are there—any further tidings of Frank?’ she inquired eagerly. “Yes. We must not talk here —as they passed out together into the hall and paused at the foot of the stairs- “Frank is here in Charleston.” * * * . * ® ® The halls were decked and garland: ed, ball dresses were laid out in readi ness, and the young people were pric: ticing minuets. Toward twilight Kerchival West and Robert Ellingham strolled across the Battery park and along the old sen wall together. “Bob, old comrade.” the former be: gan, “1 have something | want to men- tion to you.” “1s it about Thornton?" “It is about Mrs. Haverill, the colo nel’'s wife.” “1 understand—certainly, old boy- tell me all you know about it.” “Well, | was passing along the gal lery of the second floor on my way to my rcom when | heard a mutlled scream, then a lady's voice uttering violent, or, rather, hysterical, exclama- tions.

Robert and Kerchival were as eager as any one for the dancing, yet they could not enter into the spirit of the affair and engage their partners (as » matter of fact. these iatter, meanin: chiefly Madeline and Gertrude, did not make an early appearance In the par lors) until their anxiety about Mrs Haverill should be allayed. Would she find an excuse to avoid the ordeal! of gavety under the eyes of at least tw: persons who knew of the shock she hil suffered but a few honrs previously? CHAPTER II. After the Ball. O such concern seemed to hold Edward Thornton back. He was here, there and every- where, overacting if anything the role of “the life of the party” and never missing a dance. Suddenly the colonel's beautiful wife, flanked by the two vivacious girls, and herself looking the picture of health and radiance In a specially modish ball gown of flowered satin, sailed into the salon like the star of a stage play. It was the official, formal opening of the ball. “Do you know what Mrs. Pinckney says?’ Gertrude Ellingham asked Lieu- tenant Kerchival West. “She has in- vited a party of friends to her house to witness the firing on Sumter.” “How delightful!” responded Ker- chival, in rather a forced tone of gay- ety. “I hope. however, that they won't wait for breakfast until the fortress is bombarded.” 1 have im. embroidered cigar case against a box of gloves that the first gun is fred) before sunrise.” “Done.

So you don’t believe that Gen-' eral Beauregard Is going to open fire on Sumter this morning?” “No: of course not.” “Well, 1 happen to know that every- thing is in readiness.” “It is a heap easier to have every- thing in readiness to do a thing than it is to do it.
