The sun shed its fading rays on her . young and graceful figure as she leaned 011 the sill and watched the children at play in the street. below. IVhile she was thus being amused by their games, she was startled from her revery by a loud k11ocking at the kitchen door. Springing lightly to her feet she ra.n down the stairs and unlatched the door. On opening it, Rosalind uttered a. cry of sur- prise and alarm, because standing before her was a party of ill looking men clad in gray. Be-fore she could utter a word one of the men who seemed to be the leader stepped forward a11d said, Hhlam, we dun hate to disturb ye but Capin Laws dun sa.id we must habe some food, so here we is and we'd be mighty 'bliged to ye, if y'd give us some. UI will do nothing of the kind. It is hard 8110l1gh as it is to get food, and furthermore I have no sympathy wl1a.ts0ever with the South. I will thank you to leave this house immediately.', lVhile speaking, Rosalind's eyes flashed fire at the burly southerner. Pm sure sorry ye dull sa.id that Mam, 'cause we dun habe to habe food and we're goin' to get it if we habe to use force. Hi! you Jim, ye come here and watch the lady whiles the rest of the men gets the grub. So sa.ying he called the rest of the 1nen and they started hunting for the food, while Jim stood guard over the indignant Rosalind. A few minutes later she saw a tall, you11g soldier enter the gate a11d walk swiftly up the path. Unlike his men, for it was evident from his uniform that he was a captain, a.nd most likely the Captain Laws mentioned before, he was very neat i11 appearance and had the air of a. gentle-man. Although Rosalind could not help admiring him, she could only associate him with the men whom he led a.nd the ever present thought that he was a. hated southerner. . Captain Laws, unaware of the fact tha.t a pair of pretty eyes were watching him so closely, entered the house and was about to give some order to his men XVIIEII his eyes fell 1113011 Rosalind .and her guard. Stand away ma.n,,' he ordered in a. stern voice, what do you mean by treating a lady in such a manner and i11 her own home? Out of here every one of you V' Then turning to Rosalind, he said, Miss, I am sorry that this happened, but 11157 men disobeyed llly orders and I hope you will accept my apology. HYou are very kind indeed, Sir, and I thank you very much for de- livering me out of the hands of those villains. I wish you good day, sirf' So sa.ying Rosalind left the room. - 30 5
