“Capt. Hewsor. grew up in our house

‘•Quite likely,” sneered Lanvale; “your

sense of sr.pcriority, either in manners
or wis^lom.”
Janet hail bv this time hoardsa many
eo&rse speeches from her husband, that
thev had no longer power to hart as in
earlier days, so she made no further re
ply. This angered’ Laavale yet more
than a bitter answer, and ha continued:
“As for yon, my lady, I don't intend to
have you receiving visits from other
men, and I wish you not to see your
Capt. Ilcwson when he comes about;if
you do, when I get up out of here, I will
settle with him.’*
«iid too patient nature,
this insult was too muclu
“You undertook to settle with my
Capt. newsoa, once before, and 1 ra
member that you did not oome oil vio

This answer maddened Lanvale, and
he became so shockingly profane that
Janet was compelled to beat a hasty re

Col. Gr^ciy was made brigadier
-general soon after the “Seven Days,”
and at once communicated with. John,
offering to get him transferred to his
brigade, but John thought it wise in
view of Lanvale’s hostility to decline
the tempting offer.
Constant service followed, and he saw
nothing more cf any of the Gregory
family until the battle of Antietam.
Biding hurriedly across the field, after

John, always steady, never lost his head
in battle, and he noticed a depression j

point of timber to a point on the left
flank of tte federal forces. Working hia

John was greatly shocked at' the evi
