You shall ride under the 'bonnie blue flag' to Rosedale, and you shall salute our flag every morning when it is hoisted.

" CHAPTER XV. ROSEDALE.

There were cries of admiring delight as the carriage ran from the long wooden pier into the dim arcade of sycamore and pine, through which the road wound, all the way to Rosedale.

No treason in Rosedale, remember!"

The next day Dick left his aunt at the cottage with Kate, and warning them that he should be gone all day, and perhaps not see them until the next morning, he set off for Rosedale, where he told Jack Kate's plight.

When he appeared before Kate, with Mrs. Atterbury's commands that she and her brother should make Rosedale their home until the invalid could be removed North, the poor girl broke down in the sudden sense of reliefthe certainty of salvation to the slowly dying brother.

Merry went back to the city house, where her nephew was to return as soon as Wesley had been delivered at Rosedale.

The better to carry out this plan, Dick was bidden to return to Rosedale, and thus, six weeks after the battle and dispersion, all our Acredale personages, by the strange chances of war, were assembled within sight of the rebel capital, and, though in the hands of friends, as absolutely cut off from their home and duties as if they had been captured in a combat with the Indians.

In the latter days of September, the life at Rosedale was but a faint reminder of the hospital it had seemed in August.

There was no one at Rosedale sorry for the latter calamity outside of Wesley and Kate.

I believe even she was secretly not heart-broken, for she knew that her father would be antipathetic to the outspoken ladies of Rosedale.

Just as soon as you quit the shelter of Rosedale, you are a suspect.

you haven't been trying to make an uprising among the Rosedale servants, Dick?

" They were a very jovial group that prattled about the long Rosedale dining-table daily now, since every one was able to come down.

"I don't know much about Eden, and the little I do know doesn't give me a sympathetic reminiscence of the place; but I agree with you that Rosedale is about as near a paradise as one can come to on this earth," Jack qualifiedly replied.

Rosedale was, indeed, Eden in the most orthodox sense to the group so strangely billeted in its lovely tranquillity.

General Lee, their kinsman, had shaken his Socratic head solemnly when Rosa, at the War Department, told him, as an excellent joke, the strange chance that had brought Vincent's college chum and his family under the kind Rosedale roof.

Precursive signs like theseand much more, which need not be dwelt onthe kind hosts of Rosedale made no note of.

The idle life of Rosedale had grown unbearably irksome to Merry, too.

The garment of duplicity was gossamer, he felt, after all, in such atmosphere of loyalty and trust as surrounded him at Rosedale.

Kate, however, hesitated about remonstrating with him on his deepening moodiness, for she was not quite sure whether it was mad jealousy of Dick's favor in Rosa's eyes, or a secret purpose to attempt to fly from the gentle bondage of Rosedale.

It was by minglingat first perfunctorilyin the gayety of the Confederate capital that Jack lost the melancholy in which the tragedy at Rosedale had clothed his spirits.

The balm and beauty of the climate came with something of healing to the hurt his heart and hope had suffered at Rosedale.

"Ah! the hero of the Rosedale affair," and as Mrs. Davis said this she looked keenly at the young man.

When we were first in Canada I tobogganed at Rosedale.
