CHAPTER VI.
Shenandoah’s Daughter,
RESENTLY an orderly came in
with a telegram from General
Fisher to General Kelly. Its
purport was that the ladies had
been sent south at their own request,
and no turther intervention would be
practicable.
“A pretty plight we're in!" exclaimed
Gertrude. more loudly than she was
aware. “We can't go south, we can't
return north, and we can't remain
here.”
“I'll tell you how you can get sent
on,” said one of the Federal guard.
“You jest holler for Jeff Davis, and
you'll get sent on quick enough.”
“Hurrah for the Confederate flag!"
cried Belle Royd in shrill, sheer bra-
vado.
Then, as nobody came in response,
she led the way back to General Kelly's
office.
“It was just as | feared, ladies,” suid
that officer gallantly. “Now. the only
thing I can suggest is that maybe you
would be willing to take the oath of
allegiance. That would simplify mat-
ters. What do you say?"
They said nothing. but followed the
general into an adjoining room, where
¥ couple of staff officers sat at a writ-
ing desk. Federal soldiers were loung-
ing all about, smoking and noise mak-
ing. A man at the desk started to read
the oath ulond. Before he had finished
the first sentence Belle Boyd cried out:
“Great saints: It's the ‘Ironclad! =
“We won't listen to it! declared tin
trude prompily.
With that the two turned and march-
ed out of the room. A loud roar of
laughter went up. in which Genera!

“Now, what nest. general?

“If we must be hung, please notity
us.” added Gertrude
“Another alternative presents (tselt *

be a Washington end to this affair, and
1 am expecting shortly to get word
from headquarters. In any event. you
will have to stop here over night. So if
you will make yourselves us comfort:
able as circumstances permit we will
tiope for the best and await develop-
ments.”
it was late in the evening when next
they saw General Kelly. He handed
them a telegram which be bad just
received from Washington, It read: |
Miss Page and Mrs. Smith are friends
of mine. See them through if you can. |
It not, wili send on an officer to Har-
pers Ferry tonight. Answer.

As soon as they were alone together
Belle Boyd asked Gertrude:
“Who on earth is Major General
Buckthorn? | have never heard of
him.”
“1 bave,” replied Gertrude, “and he
is ao influential Federal commander,
as you may well believe. But how he
ever knew of my being here in a
scrape at Harpers Ferry and why he
comes to my rescue as a friend in time
of need, seeing we have never met
personally, 1 can't for the life of me
onderstand—unless, unless— Oh, |
wonder? But, tel me—I am dying of
curiosity ahout that Confederate pris-
oner who spoke to us—Captain Thorn-
ton, was it not?"
“Yes. You know him?"
“The Edward Thornton whom |
knew in Charleston did not have that
horrid scar on his face.”
“It comes in very well as a dis
guise, then." laughed Belle Boyd. “for |
am going to help him. This meeting |
bas changed my plans. so you won't |
mind going on alone from Berryville,
will you, dear? I mean Miss Page.”
“No. except that T shall miss your
companionship and the confidence you
inspire in me—Mrs. Smith.”
Here General Kelly's orderly came
to announce that an ambulance would
be ready to take the ladies at day-
break, and would they mind sharing
their room for the night with a lady
and ber three children on their way
to Charleston?
The remainder of Gertrude's journey

it did seem odd at one point to bave

trude’s eye. “that you must find it dull

“Our beaux are in the field, where
they belong, sir’ retorted the giri
bhaughtily.
The captaiu bowed gallantly and
made his adieu. Then Gertrude asked
the gray garbed sentry where General
Jackson's army was located at the wo-
ment.

But that was ‘way back two weeks

Mrs. Haverill, the colonel’s wife, had
an anxious and busy time of it in
Washington. Seeing little of her hux-
band and that little at moments when
he was overworked and morose. she
found congenial distraction in the com.
panionship of Edith Haverill, Frank's
wife, for what the fugitive had told
Kerchival West at Charleston was con-
firmed when the elder Mrs. Haverill
went to New York and found the un-
fortunate young woman suffering in
silence, full of loyalty. courage and
gratitude, but in reality knowing nu
more about Frank's whereahonts than
any one else did.
At the warm insistence of the Haver-
fils. Rdith came on to Washington and
took up her home with them. Here ner
baby boy was born and they chris-
tened him after his father, so that the
name of Frank Haverill should still be
familiarly spoken in the houschold.
Then the two women, like so many
others both of gentle birth and of
lowly station, but above all sisters in
affliction, engaged in the work of min-
istering to the sick and wounded sol-
diers who filled the wards of the im-
provised hospitals in the patent office
building and elsewhere,
At irregular intervals during the year
Edith had received sums of money

concealed, but somewhere in the army.
She knew it was from her husband.
but the only time any word ac-
companied the envoy was shortly after
the birth of her baby. when a brief
loving message filed the young
fuother’s heart with joy and gratitude.
This communication afforded no tan-
gible clue as to the writer's where-
abouts, but it was the means of set-
ting on foot a systematic search on
the part of Colonel Haverill, who be-
neath the mask of Spartan indiffer-
ence had in reality rejoiced at hearing
of his son’s resolution to make atone-
ment by enlisting as a soldier, as re-
ported by Kerchival West after the
farewell secret interview at Charles-
ton a year ago.
Knowing that Columbia college, New
York city, had furnished a large num-
ber of recurits to the local volunteer
regiments at the first call of President
Lincoln, Colonel Haverill directed his
inquiries among such of Frank's
former classmates as he could locate
in the army. He was sucessful to the
extent of ascertaining that his son had
taken special pains. in enlisting, to
avoid any possible comradeship with
by a new tenderness on the part of
Mrs. Haverill, particularly toward Ger-
trude, whom she regarded as the inno-
cent victim of a most unfortunate po-
litical misunderstanding. This feeling
i Gertrude reciprocated and equally with.
, out a suspicion of resentment.
Mrs. Haverill and Gertrude. as has
been intimated. maintained a practical
ly continuous correspondence. Ger-
~ trude wrote regularly to her Confeder
' ate brother. Robert Ellingham.

the service of what in latter days would
be called the wireless.
Gertrude had been home in the val

ceived the following illuminative epis
