At all cvcfits, being; at liberty, I went over it here and them, and from floor to roof, as I tried to make out whiéli would be the best way for tryng to escape ; but somehow I could’t see it them. To go out from the gate was impossible; and the same related to the biokenoui window, as both places were thoroughly watched; ' As for the other windows about the place, they were such slipsi that without they Were. widened, any escaping by them was impossible. To have let purselves down, one by one, from the flat roof by a rope, might have done, but it was a clumsy unsuitable way, with all those children and women, so I gave that up7 and then sat down as l was by a little window looking out on to the north alley. \Veared out at last, I suppose that'a sort of stupor came over me, from which I did not wake till mornng to find my- self sufferng a dull numb pain; but when l opened my eyes I forgot that, be- cause of her who was kneeling beside me, driving; away flre flies that were buzzing about, as if they knew that I was soon to be for them to rest on, Without ahand to sweep them away, ' lt quite took me aback to see his poor haggard face. and the way in which he took the trouble, for it was plain enough to see how he was out to the heart by Miss Boss's treatment of him. But for all that. he was the officerand the gentle- man; he had his duty to do, and he was doing it; so even now, after lofiingr so mzmy men, and with (so mauy more lmll' disabled, if the enemy 113d made a bold ‘assuult how, they would have won the place dearly, though “in itrtyhey musty. At last, thoung as I lay there wonder- ing" what could he done to save us, the thought came all at once, and struggling“ to my feet, I held lizzy to my heart a minute, and then went ofi" to find Cap- tain Dvcr. my wry” {flan little “101123”. l10\311(1 ‘ Thom m‘e- some hours now belwnen this nightâ€" help may come bof'rn'e llmn ; if notfimith “‘0 must try if.

But the women went round from mun to man with water and biscuit, so that no one left his post, and every time the black sceundl'els tried to make u ledgment near the gate, half were shot down, and the rest glad enough to get back into shelter. fast at every black face that showed itself for an instant. Tt'HVZl‘n'dS that weary slow coming; oven- ing, though, after We had beaten them backhalf' a score of timesâ€"I saw that something was up ; and as soon as I saw what that something was, I knew that it was-all over. ior our men were too much cut up and dishearth for any more gal lant sorties. ‘ ‘puin and suffering.

I’ve not. said anv more about thcguns, only that WC spiked them7 and left them standing in the market plain, about fit'ty yards from the gates. I may tell you now, though, that the next morning they were gone, and we forgot all about them till the night I am telling you of, when they were dragged out ziguinflvitli a lot of noise and shouting, from a build ing in the far corner of the square. It was plain enough to all of Us that the scoundrols had drilled outthe touch» holes again7 and that durng the night zhoy would be planted, and the first diS» charge would drive down all our defenâ€" ces, find leave us open to a rush. ‘ We must try your plan, Smith.’ shys Captain Dyer with a quiet stern look. It is time to cvacute the plnco now. ~We didn’t want telling .what that meant. Just; then, Mth Ross came round with Lizzy and Mrs Bantam, with Wine and water, and I saw :1 sort of quiet triumph in Lieutenant, Leigh‘s face7 as, avoiding )aptnin Dyer7 Miss Ross wont up (0 lxim. as he lilef'l:mcl{0110(1 to 1101', and stood by him like a slave, giving him bottle and glass, and then standing: by his side with hm“ eyes fixed and slrnng‘t» looking: ; while, though he.

There was nothing to fear, though: he had only gone up to the roof, and when I came up with him he was evi- dently calenhntmg about our escape, for he finished off by pulling: out his fol?» scope, and looking; r‘ght across the plain7 toward where there was a tank a sum“ station. Ni. Tecfy, Esq. ‘I think that ought to be our Way. Smith,’ he said. We could stay there for half an hour’s rest, and then on again towards Walluhbnd. sending a couple of the stoutcst men on for help. By the you w:1y,we’ll try and start a man» offto-‘night as it’s dark. Who will you have to help u ‘I should like to have Biglcy, sir,’ I said. Half an hour after, Measles Was; busy at work, fetching up muskets, with buy- oncts fixed, from down in the vault, and laying in Older on the flat 1‘00)”7 taking care the While to keep out- of sight : and I went to the room where the woman were, under Mrs Buntem’s management7 getting ready for what was to come. for they had been told that we might leave the place all at once. ‘ Will one be sufficient? ‘Quite, sir,’ I said; for I thought Measles and I could manage it between CHAPTER XIX. I suppose it was my. wound made me do things in a sluggish dreamy way, and mace me feel ready to stop and look at any thing which tool; my attention. Any-- how, that’s the Way I acted ; and going inside the place, for there were those two little children of Hie Colonel’s sitting on the floor, with :1 whole heap of those numbers of the Bibleâ€"hthcsC that people take in shilling: partsâ€"and with two or three large pictures in each. Some one had given them the parts to amuse them- selves with; uncles grand and old fashion- ed ':is could he, they were showing these pictures to iho soldiors’ children. As I wentin, thvy’d get 21 picture open 01" Jacob: lying asleep, with his dream spread before you, 01' the great flight of steps leading up into heaven, and the angels going up and down. My idea was that if we could Inai‘ingo to cross the north alley, Which as I told you was about ten foot wide, We might thou go over the roof of the quarter when: the mutinecrs were; then on to the next roof which was a. few feet lomzr; and from there got down on to some sheds, from which it, would be easy to reach the lground, when the Wily would bo'open to g us, to csc-apo with perhaps snipe hours he- gforo we were missed. 'l‘liat was a poser; but Jenny Wren was ready with her answer, old fashioned as could be. and she says : ‘I should think it’s toz they were moult‘ing.’ I remember Wishing that the poor lit» tle innocents had Wings of lheir own, for it seemed‘to me that they would be a sad trouble to us to get, avny 1hut night, just at that time when a child’s most likely to he cross and fretf'ul. Then he says quite seriously : ‘ If they have dot Wil’lfijRfiVhy don’t they fly down ? Night at. last, dark as dark, save only :1 light twinkling: here and there, in dif- ferent parts where the enemy had made their quarters. There was a buzzing in the ezunp where the guns were, and as we looked over, once there came the grinding noise of a wheel, but only once. We made sure that the gate and the broken window openiner were well Watchâ€" ed, for there was the white calico of’ ihe sentries to be seen, but soon the darkâ€" neSs hid them, and we should not have knoWn that. they were there but for the faintspurk now and then which showed that they were smoking, and once I heard quite plain in the dead stillnesgthe sound made by a ‘ bubble bubble 7 pipe. We {vaith one hour, and ‘ then, with six of us on the roof, the plan I made began to be putinto operation.- 7 The plan was, I know, desperate, but it, seemed our only chance, and as you well know, desperate ventures will some- times succeed when the must carefully ar- ranged plots 'J'hil. At :lllCVCYItS, Captain Dyer took it up, and the men under my directions a enuple nt' muskets were taken at the time, and putting: them muzzle t0 muzzle. the bayonet, of each was trust dmm the other’s barrel, which saved lutshing them together, and gave us a sort of 8pm- about. ten feet long, and this was lete with about fifty. I told yuu that, there was a tree grew up in the centre of the alleyâ€"â€"~a stunty slime bmtghed tree, and to this Measles lnid one nl'the ' deuth muskets, feeling for a bnneh to rent it on in the darkness. after listening; whether there has any one below ; then he laid more and more. tut‘v‘ntett‘a nudge, m‘e'r ‘ 'wmen h‘e uotu'ty ‘ w ‘16: tree, where with the lashings he had taken, he bound a couple more hush-ts horizontal, and then Shifted the others. lle arranged them all so that the butts 01' one end rested on the root' ot'the palaee ; the butts at the other end were itCYhSS those he had bound pretty level in the tree. .hen more and more were laid Heroes, and a couple of thin straw mattresses on them; and though it- touli a tremendously long time, through .‘ltmtlt‘flfumblng in the dark, it was surprng what. antlrm bridge that made as tar as the tree.

Then there was a horrible silence, during which we felt that it was all ovef with the planâ€"that the enemy ' must look up and see the bridge, and down those who would attack us with renewed fury.
