A TALE OF THE LATE WAR*
BY ALICE ARNOLD.
CHAPTER IV.
“So long as ye both shall Hye.’Vj.„ri-.
It wa» one cold morning towards
the cloge of the year 18.64, that a
solitary horseman was siawly trav
ersing the road that lav between
Gordo*syille. and the Federal en
campment. Those were sad days,
even for the most hopeful; for the
cloud was lowering over the doomed
Confederacy, and its shadow was
reflected in every heart; but to none
did the public reverses come home
more keenly than to Maude Carol!,
and with the prophetic vision of a
Cassandra, looked into the future;
and the death knell of Southern lib
erty rang nightly ip her dreams. In
dividually, matters had prospered
with her well enough. Her beloved
brother, who had borne himself val
orously in every engagement, was
now a lieutenant of dragoons, and
her own romantic enterprises had
been especially successful; but there
were lines about her mouth and brow
that belong to maturer age ; and her
face, when in repose, wore an ex
pression of dumb and hopeless sor
row:' As she now advanced slowly,
seemingly uncertain which route lo
pursue, a horse, saddled aud bri
dled, but Riderless, ran rapidly past
her, aud stopping.short, some hun
dred yards distant, and looking a
round him as though to ascertain
that.there was no danger of pursuit,
h*g*R> quietly to bile at some grass
’groWrflg by the road-side. Some
thing in. his attitude, m the proudly
arched neck, glossy coat and luxu
riant Inane, struck Maude as famil
;iar; her heart throbbed with a
strange, wild sensation, as she watch
ed his motions; and dismounting,
•he fastened Mabel to a fence, and
cautiously approached the fugitive.
The impression grew stronger as
iW advanccd nearer; yes, there was
littla doubt of it now: the animal
she beheld was Iscara, Captain de
Caroll’s Arab horse, which he.had
«ridden the day of the tournament,
four years previous. She' called
hhtt ! by name, and throwing up his
('handsome head, be neighed At the
sound of her voice. He, then, had
not forgotten her.
might it prove a hopeful omen. She
rushed forward, threw her aruls a
round his seek, and covered bi* head
end foue with kisses. *%cai»,dear
beauty,” *sb* murmured, tell me
something of him; I have'Waited so
patfentlyeHttfroagh 1 years.”
Attached lo his equipments were
• pair of saddle-bags, and in one of
them Meude found atom, erompled
letter, It wasg’usf the Conclusion
and signature; but she eagerly seiz
ed it and read as follows :
“Don’s faii tomeet me . Martin’s,
at ten o’clock; and foi . Heaven’s
sake, let itreto be no ’Aris
Loins Henri de Caroll.”
Her hesrt seemed to stand stiff as
she' reed the name, hppe
begflflh f«e«blingly to daWn ia her:

H« brain grew dizzy with conjec

to a decided course. She had pledg

■be reached a small
fort which aht alighted and was
warmly greeted* by the rustic in
mates, for they were ardent rebels,
always ready to assist the cause,
and Maude frequently made use of
their house in her expeditions.
Retiring into a prhrdte apartment,
she hastily exchanged her riding
habit for a boy’s suit of coarse brown
“jeans,” stained lief face and hands
with a datk wash, darkened her eye
brows, and looping up her luxuriant
hair, bound a red cotton handker
chief around her brow and placed a
battered straw,, hat above. Then
removing hfr shoes and stockings,
she stained her feet. The disguise
.Was complete; none could possibly
have recognized “the Angel of the
Brigade;” and going out, she pur
chased some chk&ens, butter and
apples, and hiring a mule, mounted
and rode ift the direction of* the
Federal lines. About dusk she
reached them, and would undoubt
edly have met with a repulse from
the cut-posts, had not Providence
put her in possession of the pass
word, through the instrumentality of
a drunken straggler whom she en
countered on the way. She was
not at all certain whether it Was the
right one, however, but being re
solved to venlure, she, with a sink
ing heart, pronounced it. It was
satisfactory, and she was suffered to
pass on. Other circumstances, also,
were propitious.* Torbert, who was
the General in was-evi
dently preparing for action of some
sort, for all the sutlers had been Sent
away; and a number of the privates
eagerly clustered round the little
poultry vender.
When nearly ajlher articles were
disposed of and she had a good Jit
,U,e roll of greenbacks in bsr.jacket
ppeket, she look a stroll through the
camp, seemingly intent on feeshtfwr
ebasers; but in reality seeking to
glean the information which was the
of her expedition, and at any
other time she Would have been
painfully struck by the contrast
which this comfortable anil orderly
settlement presented to the wretch
ed Confederate quarters; but now
her thoughts were 100 much en
grossed. ; la-
By skillful manceuveriog, she con
trived lo get close outside of Gen.
Torbert’s tent, where a council of
war was being held ; and throwing
herself upon the ground, at though
weary, she feigned to sleep. The
sentinel pushed ber once or twice
with bis foot, and finding that she
showed no consciousness, book quiet
ppssession of her basket, /yphich con
tained; s?orae apples and eggs, then
rifling her pocket # foe money she
-bad; made,.ileft her to ber repoSe.
But all this time, the supposedrieep
ef was listening intentiy to the voice*
within, and not orte word of their de
bate escaped her. Fifteen minutes
latfer, she was threading her way
out the camp to return to the farm*,
house. It.w?* now quite dark and
the camp fires were jkbted. Fjpmthe
tent of one of the officers issued the
notes of a violin, the sound ft£ voices
and the jingle of . glasses, accompa
nied by a rich fragrance of iWUHIs
ebirnl and Havana segars. Mabdfc
‘felt a straiige, undefinable reluc
tance to pass thia tern, and stewing
to one side, where sbe conld be con
cealed by a large tree, she erouctied
down close to the ground and re-,
solved to ’listen to what'wa's'gmng
on. Presently the violin ceased,

through,, which, by lying with her

obtain a view of the iutcrior ; and
quickly faking that position, sljc-he
held.a picture .that turned her hearl
sick, and seemed toi>4icze the very
marrow iu her bones.
There was a lamp swung, chan
delier-fashion, from the ceiling of
the tent, which cast its rays full up
on four officers, lounging indolently
upon a buffalo robe, beside a small
table, upon which was placed sever
al decanters and some fruit and pas
try, with which thsy were regaling
tJyy#Sjj.ves. But t’ac central ffgure

tion. . He had grown much stouter,
and his^complexion -was sun-burned
and florid but lb e features were the
Same; and in ftghwy of spirit, Maude
acknowledged to herself that this
was nb other than ihc man, to whom,
four year3 previous, she had been
solemnly united in wedlock for “so
long as ye both shall live.” What
followed only served to confirm her
belief.
“I say, tie Caroll, let’s have the
benefit of your poetic timey, now r ,”
urged the first speaker.
“Oh, spare him to-night!” said
No. 2, “the poor fellow’s down in
the mouth about the loss of Iscara.”
“How did he fosc Iscara ?”
“Don’t ypu kpow she threw him
this morning, and ran away with the
letter he was writing toLillias? I’ll
bet my best rifle tho old man picked
it up in the road.”
“It won’t do him much good, if he
did,” chimed in the subject of their
remarks, joining in* the laugh, “for I
tore it before the devil let me fly.”
“Tell us about Lilllas.”
“Oil, there is really nothing to tell
there; but I can tell ypj> a tiue sto
ry yf I am the hero.”
“Bravo! let’s have it, then; and

“It was some where . about this

Captain de Carol!, musingly, as he
removed his segar, “and not ‘a hun

reached her temporary destination,
and the farmer urged her to remain
until morning; but she was resolved
upon carrying through her purpose,
and resuming her own dress, she
remounted Mabel, who seemed to
have made the most of her rest, and
pursued her way to the Confederate
lines. She had to battle with wild
thoughts on that solitary ride. All
the sad, quiet resignation which bad
reigned in her soul when she set net
that morning was fled, and dark des
pair assailed her. The night was
beautiful; in one place where she
had to ford a stream, the calm wa
ter, 1 sleeping in the soft moon-light,
with the dark woods in the back
ground, formed a lovely picture,
which, at any other time, might have
wooed her spirit; but now,
“Nature's was an altered tone,
And breathed rebuke --d dread/'
Her dead father’s spirit seemed
to frown upon her from another
sphere, and the fresh night wind
which swept her cheek was like the
scourge of an armed fury. “Calm,
calm, oh, give me, if only outward
calm !” she cried to Heaven. And
she was calm, unnaturally so, when
in the grey morning she reached the
Madison turnpike, where a portion
of tiie Confederate forces, under
General Lomax, was posted. Lo
max was up and ready to receive
her, and most minutely did she de
tail her scattered bits of information.
“We are deeply in yout debt,
Miss Arlington,” he said, when she
had concluded, “but, indeed,” with
a compassionate glance at her worn,
white face and bloodless lips, about
which the lines of suffering had
been greatly multiplied during the
past night, “this hard service is
idling oil you. You ought really to
go down to .Richmond and recruit a
little.” ' ;
“Are you prepared to give battle
to Torbert?” she inquired.
‘•Undoubtedly,” he replied.
“Then until it is past, I shall go
no farther off than Gordonsville; aod
as 1 have two miles and a half yet
to ride, I must now wish you good
morning.” q ■
The General assisted her to her
saddle; and half art hour later she
reached the little cabin in which she
had taken up hes temporary abode
at Gordonsville.
