Carmichael strode out, and Helen, bidding him good-by, closed the door after him. The instant he had departed Bo's transformation was tragic. "Flo!

"Nell Rayner, men are no good!
And please say to the officer that I'm Mrs. Rayner, Mrs. Captain Rayner, of the infantry, and ask if there isn't something I can do to help." "Yes, ma'am; I will, ma'am. Oh, he knows who you are: I done told him last night. He's goin' to Fort Warrener, too." And, touching his cap, away went the porter. "There! He did know all along," said Mrs. Rayner, triumphantly. "It is most extraordinary!"
She seized a wrap from the hat-rack and stepped to the door-way. Mrs. Rayner threw herself after her. "Nellie, where are you going? What will you do?" "To Mrs. Waldron's, Kate; if need be, to Mr. Hayne's." A bright fire was burning in Major Waldron's cosey parlor, where he and his good wife were seated in earnest talk.

"Don't you believe him," declared Bo Rayner, bluntly.
Once abroad with her, I could make her happy; but " He breaks off irresolutely, looking about him in the strange, hunted manner she has noted once or twice already.
