Great was the panic in Libby when the next morning's roll revealed to the astounded Confederates that 109 of their captives were missing; and as the fireplace had been rebuilt by some one and the opening of the hole in the yard had been covered by the last man who went out, no human trace guided the keepers toward a solution of the mystery.
Miss Tabby and Miss Libby next took their turns to be embraced and kissed. And then the old servants crowded around to welcome their beloved young mistress; to every one of them she gave a cordial grasp of her hand, and loving words. "It is very delightful," she said, with tears of joy in her eyes, "it is very, very delightful to be so warmly welcomed home."
It is not really enough, you know, but I call it that," and she stretched out on the bench to show how "deliciously lazy" common health makes a girl. "You certainly do your appetite justice," said Dorothy laughing. "Aunt Libby says it's one thing to eat, and another thing to make your eating 'tell. Now, you make your food " "'Tell. Certainly I do, and make it 'tell' out loud too.
I was going to ask Aunt Libby if any of mine might be spared " "Why, of course, you have some that are too small. I will see about them myself. It is too bad those children have no one to manage for them." "What's the matter with their mother?" "I don't know that is of course they have their mother, but she does not seem to know how to manage."
She now turned her head a little, so as to pierce the earnest speaker with a gleam from her dull eye. "Have you accepted Walter Libby?" she asked. "Louise!" cried Grace, with a blush that burned like fire. "That's the way I used to talk when I was first engaged. Wait till you're married a while. I want Bella to have on her pique, and her pink sash, not the cherry one.
'What do you think of that scamp, Andy, proposing for Libby in my hearing? The fellow told her that his heart was in her keeping, and that she was the light of his life, and grew quite poetical, I assure you; in return for which, he was hunted round the wood-yard with a log! And Linda's sympathy expired.
In the two anxious days that followed, Libby and Grace were associated in the freedom of a common interest outside of themselves; she went to him for help and suggestion, and he gave them, as if nothing had passed to restrict or embarrass their relations.
Winterose," she explained, turning to her guest, "is the widow of our late land steward. She is also my foster-mother, and the mother of the two maiden ladies, Miss Tabby, who is our housekeeper, and Miss Libby, who lives with the widowed parent at home. They have come to welcome us back. Heaven bless them!" As Sybil spoke, Mr.

"What is that, Grace?" demanded her mother, as if Grace were guilty of the noise. "Mr. Libby," answered Grace, rising. "Has he come for you?" "I don't know. But I am going down to see him."
He looked at her gravely, then his small eyes swept the limited landscape. "A hangin' matter," he mused, scratching his gray head reflectively. "An' if they ketch you here, I guess I'll go to Libby, too. Hey?" He passed his labor-worn hand over his eyes, pressing the lids, and stood so, minute after minute, buried in thought.
