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 itorious,” was the quick retort. This answer maddened Lanvale, and he became so shockingly profane that Janet was compelled to beat a hasty re treat. _ CHAPTOH XZl L AST 1 CXAM. 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 • delivering some orders, he took a short ct cut t-TnvmcrH through a a little little point tv iir\t ,,f of timber. timber.

John, always steady, never lost his head in battle, and he noticed a depression j Lu the ground running from beyond the point of timber to a point on the left flank of tte federal forces. Working hia x^y to Gen. Gregory, he stopped him a tsoment to explain that if there was a rpare regiment in reserve by marching l( down this depression the federals could he taken In flank. The general ••aught the idea in a moment, and in teucted him to ride back to Col.

The two regiments. ■v.-cre marched rapidly through the hang a black pal! of smoke that ef- ■ •actually concealed the movement, and in a few moments the advancing and ’ victorious federals were greeted with a wild yell, and found themselves flanked by a new force which had apparently visea oat of the earth. Tliey were veteran soldiers, but even veteran j soldiers cannot stand flank move meats, and a wild panie ensued, Working Ms way through tke strug gliag and disorganized masses he came upon Lanvale engaged in a hot contest with two federal officers, whom he had summoned to surrender, and who responded by attacking him vigor¬ ously. John rode to Ms assistance.
