CHAPTER II i COHTINUEI

It hadstartled ami then angered theelder man so loyal arid devoted hadhis sori ever been in the past Well he

though some letters hadApril between Paul Ladue

and in Alabama it was impossible 4to prove that he was planning-to join the southern army much less

furnishing information oraid and comfort to the enemy Since

the first of Slay the worst that could besaid him was that he had sent threeletters Y6 acer in St

that three missives had come tohim bearftig the St Louis postmarkEverybody knew that St Louis was in

southern sympathizers whohad means of communication withfriend beyond the line and it wasthese letters McKinnon referred towhen he dared to suggest that it wasthe postmasters duty to themand learn their contents Not yet hadthe north reached the point of violatingthe sanctity of personal mail

So far from its being McKinnonsfault the elder Benton answered assoon he could control his voice Ihold your friend Paul solely responsible McKinnon is an intensely loyalman and he and I both are indignantthat any man should be living here inour and holding treasonable cor-

respondence with the enemy Youwill do well sir if you hope for acommission to hold so

an associationwould not hold aloof For three

days he was constantly at the Laduescomforting Paul as best he could andon evening gf the third day afterruefully enviously bidding adieu tomany a friend who bad marched awaywith the Second he had cut loose fromthe crowd and returned to his laborof Entering the shaded gateway-h had surprised to see a visionin whke seated close to Pauls reclin-

ing chair and confounded arid troubled-to JindthatJt wasElinor Bravely shehad risen and faced him

It seems that it is not enough thatPaul hould be forbidden our housesaid she with strangely calm and cOn

ti oiled manner but this afternoonfather bade me pack my trunk and beready to go to Aunt Margaret tomor

I shalltlell him that I came here to bidPaul Then with bowed headshd hurried away

was the promise Paulasked Benton after a moment of siiehcei

Hold Elinor and I tell you Fredhad any that dutY

it is ended If people willlit me stay in peace my place is

SGod was the almostanswer hafa load youve

lifted rom my mind What a facerthis be to McKinnon

perhaps it might have been

had it becpmei known to him and to

I his impassioned speech anda certain letter but even

as sat there hand in hand thesound of cheering grew fierce and frequent I On the broad veranda sat Elinor Ic king at the dim light up thestrett here dwelt the Ladues and

amaze came FredHo the front gatehalf lifting half leading I slimbuiltreluctant youth whose voice she knewou the instant You must sheheard Fred saying low and stern Icant lick a thousand fellow citizensThe only thing is to get you in somesafe harbor until this blows over

Opening the cellar door he plungedhis unwilling prisoner into the darkdepths and bounded back to the frontgate just in time to see a throng ofmen sweeping silently up the wide-thoroughfare passing him by withhardy a gleam of recognition and

in front of the little homestead of theLadues

Just then the squire appearedspringing from a hack that had drivenswiftly on the trail of the crowd andstarted at sight of his son standingthere like sentry at the gate

Somebody was haranguing thenow completely filling the street fromblock to block only 400 yards awaywhile men and boys jabbering excited-ly were still hurrying by the Bentpnsto join the throng-

A mighty bass was uplifted over theclamor and bellowed the night

They tarred and feathered and rodeour teachers on a rail for no causewhatever I move by God that before we let Paul Ladue wear a rebelcoat we give him one of tar andfeathers I know where to find him

It was the riff raff of the city thatmade up the bulk of theidler the loafer the saloon hanger-on the same class precisely that sixweeks before had mobbed the men ofMassachusetts in the streets of Balti-more Of the thousand shouting andswaying there in the dim light of thecity lamps probably not 50 men wererespectable citizens and all too lateGeorge McKinnon began to realize thathe was now powerless to quench thetrain his vehement oratory had fired

My God cried Mr Benton Theyare coming here

Running toward them along thesidewalk distancing the crowd palenow and trembling came McKinnon

Quick he cried Let me take MissElinor round to Judge MeredithsShes safe there Elinor he pleaded with outstretchedhand But th blue eyes looked himover with utter indifference Shewould not even vouchsafe reply

What in heavens name Have youdone McKinnon cried the fatherSurely you ought to have known it

was playing with fire to arouse theseruffians Go in doors child he continued turning suddenly to her Butnow it was McKinnon who detained

Stop You must see said heHere is what came for him this very

night Now do you believeBenton took the heavy envelope ex

It is fatal said the veteran lawyer with a gasp of dismay

Then of a sudden there arose fromthe throats of the mob a yell of

and rejoicing for at the head ofthe steps stood Paul Ladue facingthem with flashing eyes and without-a tremor Another instant and beforeFred could interpose light and agile

i he bounded down the steps airus thelawn and vaulted to thefence at the corner lighting like a caton his feet and confronted them

Who accuses nje and of what am Iaccused he cried

Youre a damned spy RebelTraitor Here give us that let-

ter Squire were the yells from thecrowd And then big Gale the black-smith tore a way round to the sideand waved under the pale quiveringface McKinnons contribution to theevenings disturbance the letter hewould now have been glad to withdraw What have you to say to thisMr Lieut Paul Ladue Eleventh Alabama-

I say its a forgery and a lie wasthe ringing answer

Any man would fixed as you areboomed the blacksmith Do you denycorresponding with your rebel crowdin Alabama too

No and you can see their lettersany time you wish

Damn their letters shouted GaleThen facing the crowd Fellow citizens what shall we do with him

Up went a chorus of curses and yellsin the midst of which Fred Bentonsprang to the fence beside his friendand his father vainly shouted begging-to be heard You be quiet Squireanswered the nearmost We dontwant all right Fredwas felled by a stone that struck himfull in the forehead Paul Ladueslegs were jerked from under him andhe was dragged struggling and strik-ing at every face within reach andborne away the vortex of a whirlpool-of raging humanity whose hoarseshoutings gradually died to distantroar as they surged onward down theslope to Market square Benton andMcKinnon vainly following imploring and protesting Then one levelheaded lad ran like a deer to the quarters of a cadet company across theriver and while Elinor knelt there byher stricken brother chafing his handand bathing his disclored brow thecourthouse bell in rapid clang pealedout the alarm of fire

hour later limp and exhausted-in the care of a physician and escorted to the pier by Benton and cityofficials the victim of mob fury wasborne to a stateroom on the NorthernLight and so on to Chicago

CHAPTER IIITHE FIRST UNIFORM

For many a week there came noword from Paul Ladue At the littleframe cottage the lake a sadeyedbsubmissive broken man sat longhours each day in a worn old rockingchair apathetic uncomplaining yetlooking wistfully into the of thefew who came to see him as thoughimploring news of his now doubly banished boy

In every way did the squire seek toaid the needy household and all unrebuked now Elinor went day after dayto see Ladue and the fragile womanhis wife who never left her room Inone brief letter from St Louis Paulhad announced his intention of makinghis way to Mobile Aftercould say

And Fred too Elinors stanch allyand supporter was gone Denied acommission in the earlier regiments ofhis native state for the reason thatthe men demanded the right to electtheir officers from among these enlisting with them a course which hisfather had forbidden he had found lifewell nigh unbearable after almosttragic events of that night in Juneand so boldly wrote a long urgent

letter to a generalold soldier of the oldsince before the days of the Mexicanwar and until recalled to active servicein the spring of 61 had made theBadger state his home and that vehement vigorous letter the general tookand laid before the president himself

This was before the first seriouseyeopencir the battle of Bull Runand the tall ungainly son of the westwas still able to see the whimsical sideof things untinged by the infinite andsuffering of the days to come

Wants to be a soldier and to sinkthe law does he said the presidentstretching his long lean legs underneath the table and running his hugehand through the crop of bristling hairthat crowned his forehead like ahedgerow and the squire wont lethim met Benton once atRices caravanserai there in Chicagoand the boys wont have anybody thatdoesnt start even with them Wellgeneral I see only one way out of thisfix thatJs make him a second lieutenant of regulars unless he contin-ued with a twitch about the cornersof his broad mouth unless I appointhim a brigadier general According tosome of the papers may have doneworse Which shall it be

The second lieutenancy wll appeal-to him I think sir said the generaland then I can appoint him aidede

camp and teach him practicalso that he wont be utterly a novice

when he goes to his regiment I knowthe lad and am under an obligation to his father

So be it said the president Andso it happened that two days Jaterthere came to Fred a wire from

bidding him join his generalthere forthwith and within another48 he wasgone For a few daysin mid he was horns again as aideto the general who had been ordered

he looked in 51s ijtjram tl unIforma vivid contrast to many an old schoolfriend whose first blue frock coatseemed more like an offcolor editioaof clerical garment than the garbof a soidier Fearfully and wonder-fully wee they uniforms-of out western volunteers and muchdid they of the great army aboutWashington marvel and make merryat the sight of the officers of the fewregiments from Badger and Hoosierdom chosen to represent their states onthe sacred sOil of eastern Virginia

And about the first thing Fred Bendone on his return waa to

snub if his fathersjunior partner between whom and thatfather relations were alfeaf severelystrained

Never yet had George McKinnonbeen able to satisfactorily explain howthat letter addressed to Paul Laduehad come into his possession Important as it doubtless was held to be asevidence of Ladues active sympathywith the rebellion there were not afew responsible citizens who declaredthe postmaster gravely culpable forsurrendering it to any but the lawfulowner Whereat the postmaster onhearing of the cry against him cameout with a card in the Watchmaninsisting that the letter had beenplaced by the distributing clerk in theLadue box which was at least six feetfrom the general delivery window andthat neither he nor any one of theemployes had subsequently touched it

Naturally matters looked squally forMcKinnon He had been popular butthe better class of people felt thatPaul Ladue had been harshly evenoutrageously dealt with and that McKinnons insidious if not fieryspeeches were the direct cause

A revulsion of feeling had set inBefore leaving for Washington therehad been ample time for Fred Bentonto spread abroad Ladues declarationthat nothing would persuade him tocast his lot with the south

Such was the state of feeling thatGale the wouldbe heroic leader of pub-lic sentiment awoke to the fact that itmight be wise Ton him to cross thelake and visit kith and kin among theWolverines for city officials had comeand asked ugly questions and therewas talk of arrest and indictment foiinciting riot

McKinnon calld at the Bentons andasked to see Miss Elinor and MissElinor asked to be excused Bentonsenior approved her conduct for therehad been words between the partnersunpleasant words In the end McKinnon withdrew the firm and alliedhimself with his old partners bitterestrivals

Then came the general with aidedecamp Fred and the former responded-to McKinnons greeting with cold antidistant civility The latter asked himwhat he had done with Ladues letterand refused his proffered hand Itwas lucky the general had to takeyoung staff officer to the state capitalwhence they were recalled to Washington just in time to

wreck of McDowells rawuntaught regiments drifting fromthe disaster Bull Run

And then the nation woke up inearnest to a realization of the fact thatthe south had men as brave as the bestin the land and leaders more skillfulthan those we had yet sent afield Thenit became apparent that not until itwas thoroughly organized drilled anddisciplined could a northern armhope to subdue the army of the south
