While Mnj. Lin'dtay was galloping from Blako f
ley Da% Captain Preston, by the same road, was
advancing toward, it. He / had been out OTi

still wi i tit her aunt, 'determinCd, in , a moment of
relenting, to visit her. Ho had not yciiheard of
14r father's capture— of course belWits ignt rant
of her own peril; and Kate determined that he
!should retnain.so.
The rapidity of Major Linitiay's pace Was in
union with the tutntjt of his thoughts. Now that.
all, was settled, coiscience wa stilled; and he Mt
Only the wild exultation of success. Exposure

He had no doubt Kate Would soon love him. - 2

once finding herself the husband of another, duty

rose. Tritimpluint guilt is rarely given to re.
mOrse._
"But one thing only is wanting," he said "If I
could meet this Preston—this braggadocia—l
would at,Onco have my revenge, and get rid of all
po@sibility of future r;.vair."
As Win answer to this half emaressed wish,there
*cis at that moment seen, en the crest,of a slight
elevation in front, a single horseman, who even at
that distance, w i ns recognized as wearing the uni
form of Marion s brigade.
"Wheel to the ri4ht," said
. IrjorLintlstty sharo
and suddenly to his dragoons, "into this old wood

we know something of the strength of the enemy.

Lindsay thou2llt there was sornethine familiar in

he had seen the whole of the enemy's force, until
the five horsenien had nearly descended the„hill,
when ho concluded that they" Were merely a scout

"Do you know those fellows?" lie said. .
The approaching horsemen were still at a con
siderable rliNytnce, so the man shading his eyes
with ono hand, while with the other he held back
the brurhweod to get on opening for his face, peer
cd long and eagerly. ;Then he •diew back, nod
ding his head.
"1 kno b 'em," he said, "least ways on o' cm,
who is that Captain Preston that used to plague
us so, uti at the, hall xonder," and be jerked his
finger ove r t his shoulder in
- the direction of Mrs.
filakeley's which they had left about an hour be
fore.
"Are you sure?,' said Major
. LinNey eagerly..
I, would ratheriose a dozen guineas than that you
'should be mistaken."
"Then you'lll keep your guineas, air," said the
orderly, •tthat's Capt. Preston and nobody else."

"Yes—and I have :veil!" `was the reply hissed
between his adversary's teeth.
As Major Lindsay thus spoke, he raised himself
its his stirrups, and throwing. all his strength into
one gigantic blow, be brought hie heavy sabre
down, right on the almost unprotected head of
Preston. Fora women: it seemed as if, the . tren

advantage to throw hiMself baeltivard, and then

casque combined: Nothinebut that well temper

reeled in liis•saddie.
"Hew him down!" "I:lse' "the cold lead!"— -
"Have at-him them, ose and all!"
Such were the exclatnations :hat met our hero's
ear, as he recovered himself from that blow, and_
found only the 'and a fragment of id's broken
blade left In hi land— He looked round hastily.
His four followers had - already been put: • hors du
