CHAPTER XV.
woman's im.uck.
AFTER this second defeat we
could tee the guerrillas gath
ered In n knot, evidently dls- i
cussing the situation. They
talked so loud that we could often
ca?cb a word, and their gesticulations
were plain to us all. At last the cap
tain took a white handkerchief from
bis pocket, fixed It to a stick and. hold
ing U over his head, advanced toward
us.
"A flog of truce!" we all exclaimed
together.
"He's going to offer us something to
eat!" cried Jack. "I knew he wouldn't
let us starve!"
j stepped over the breastworks to go
and meet the bearer of the Mag. Buck
called out:
"Tell him I'll take some fried chick
en fo' mine!"
1 met the captain at the spot where
we had built our Ore. LI is arm was In
a sllng. and he was very pale. Some
thing told me that he did not relish the
work In which he was engaged.
"Eve come to tell yo'." he said, "that
if yo'U surrender the rest of yo' peoplo
can go."
"What assurance have I that you will
keep the terms?"
"Tbe word of a"? He stopped. 1
saw that habit had led him to use an
expression common among gentlemen
In the south, but the word had stuck
In hta throat.
"Captain," I said, "you are a better
man than the company you keep. Sat
isfy mo that the women, the boy and
the negro shall go free, and you are
welcome to me."
"Tbe men are divided about the wo
men," he replied, lowering his voice.
"Which party holdj tho balance of
power?"
"It's hard to tell."
"Then we have no assurance that If
we surrender you can keep your prom
ise to let them go unharmed?"
"There's no telling. Befo' yo'r es
cape and the killing yo' all have been
doing 1 could havo Uxed It, hut the men
are exasperated at the damage yo'vo
done."
"Can't you bo blind and let us out to
night?"
"No; I've lost more control of my
men wlthlu the last few days than all
the time I've commanded them. If they
saw the slightest move on my part to
let yo' slip, they'd shoot me, and yo'
would never get out alive either. .1
can't stand here talking any longer.
They'll suspect something. What's yo'r
answer?"
1 turned the matter quickly over In
my mind.
"Captain." 1 said, "I will transmit
your proposition. If your terms are ac
cepted, I will go down to your camp,
and my friends will follow. If they
are not accepted, we will wave to you.
In this event you will know that these
noble girls, this brave boy, this faltbfui
negro, prefer to take their chances with
me."
Both of us turned without another
word, and In a few minutes the captain
was with his men and I had Joined my
little half starved army. I was re
ceived with eager, questioning looks.
"He has made a proposition," I said.
"I will give It to you with the Informa
tion that goes with It. If we will sur
render, he promises that all shall go
free except me."
I paused a moment to wntch the ex
pression of their faces. I saw at once
that they were all bitterly disappoint
ed.
"I feel bound to state further that
the captain has Informed me that he
cannot surely guarantee your safety,
though he would If he could. Ho tells
me that the men are divided, and ho
does not know himself which party is
the stronger. You are not sure of
safety, but you have a chance, whereas
If we are taken by forco the chances
?r? all n en lust you. Before giving inv
views I wish to get an expression of
opinion from each of you separately.
Miss Stallforth, shall we accept the
proposition or not? Say yes or no."
She curled her lip. "I don't ?are to
consider such a proposition."
"Miss Rutland?"
"Nol" cried little Jack, with a snap
In ber eye.
"Buck?"
"Reckon I'd ruther stay whar I am
awhile longer, though, by golly, I'm
mighty hungry." Ho spoko the last
Words ruefully.
"Ginger?"
"I ain't no traitor man, mars', ef I
air black. Ginger hain't gwlne t' talk
'bout glbbin nobody up V save hlsself,"
*"7 ?tiaod?? I ??id, and I could m*
repress a tremor In my voice, though
God knows I tried, "I cannot accept
your sacrifice. The guerrillas, having
secured me, will doubtless quarrel
about you, and the captain und those
who are with him may find an oppor
tunity to let you get away under cover
of the night."
"No, nol" cried all. "We'll stand to
gether."
"How were you to reply?" asked
Helen,
"If tho terms were accepted, we were
to go down; if rejected, we were to
wave."
Helen took on* her check bonnet and,
tying it to a carbine, stood up on tho
rocks and waved It to tho guerrillas,
who were standing below watching for
our signal, whilo our little command
gave as lusty a cheer as their exhaust
ed condition would ndmlfe
j But the real heroism was yet to come/
I had seen evidence that the woman
wing of my army was not to be appall
ed at any proposition, but It was Im
possible that I could bo prepared for
what was to follow. I have sometimes
wondered If it was not rather an ema
nation of genius than heroism, hut
have Invariably concluded that it was
the genius of heroism.
The first flush of excltemont at the
rejection of the terms being over. Jack
began to show signs of irritation, a
condition I attributed to tho gnawing
pangs of hunger. She shook her fist
at the guerrillas, vowing that If she
could ever get her papa again he should
scour the country till he had captured
every one of them, and when captured
, she would herself take Inexpressible
pleasure In making targets of them for
pistol practice. Then she would call
to them for something to eat. They
were too far to hear her, and of conrso
her request would not hove been grant
ed If they bad. "Captain, good captain,
desr captain," she cried, "do let us out

turned to CTTss Stanfortb. "Helen,
what 111 the world did we come on such
on errand as this fo'? Why didu't we
send the soldiers?"
"Jack," said Helen. "I'm sorry you
regret It. I don't. 1 never regret."
"Yo're showln the white feather,"
said Buck.
Jack's eyes glistened with anger.
"The white feather! What do yo'
mean, yo' little pest? White featherl
I'm not afraid of all the guerrillas In
Christendom. They won't hurt me.
I'm going down there to ask 'em fo'
something to eat. I'll get yo' all off.
White leather! I'll show yo'l"
She sprang upon the rampart, but I
caught her and dragged her back.
"Let mo go!" she screamed.
"Dldn* I tole yo' MisSy Jack hnb de
biggest temper in do soufV" cried Gin
nei proudly.
"Let her co." said Helen, "and I'll
go with her. If those guerrillas who
are disposed to protect us can do so,
they will succeed as well without you
ns with you. Indeed, your presence
will only tend to Irritate them. Come,
Jack, we'll try It."
I stoo<l aghast at such a plan. 1 for
bade it. The girls were determined. I
begged, ordered, stormed at them, de
claring that for every step they took
toward that deu of hellhounds I
would take two. At last Helen laid
her hand on my sleeve and looked me
calmly In the eye.
"Major Brnnderstanc, I want you to
let me have my way In this matter.
You owe It to mo. When you were
wounded, I took you In and succored
you. Since we have been In this place
1 have obeyed your every order. Jack
has Hashed unknowingly, unintention
ally, a stroke of genius. Jack is a
genius. She has hit on our only chance.
She fascinated the guerrillas once, and
she'll do It again. She will split them
In halves and set one half against the
other. But she will need me. Hive me
that revolver."
I All this was lost on me. 1 swore
they should not go. I planted myself
between them and the rampart. Helen
Stepped to one side of me. Jack darted
to the other. Ginger put his hand on
my arm.
"Don't stop Missy Jack, mars'. Missy
Jack can do cberyt'lug wid men folks."
lie turned my face to the cliff. "Look
dot a-way, an yo' won't see hit."
When 1 broke from the old man, Hel
en and Jack were beyond the rampart.
I have seen lifeboat men pull out In a
tempestuous Bei?, breasting a howling
wind and madly tossing billows; I
have seen men inarch out to battle with
almost a certainty of death or mutila
tion, but 1 have never looked upon any
sight with the mingled terror and ad
miration that thrilled me as I beheld
these two Kills, without other weapon
than woman's loveliness, descend tlio
rocky slope toward the guerrilla camp.
They moved hand In bund, ns I have
seen graceful ships sail side by side.
Helen was the taller and the more
commanding, but both walked erect,
Helen buoyed by a native courage,
Jaqueline coulident In the possession
of a gift, a genius for bending men to
her will.
They had scnrcely left us when the
guerrillas caught sight of them and
stood looking up in stupid wonder.
Ginger, Buck and I were staring down
upon them. Ginger's eyes starting out
of his head, Buck leaning excitedly
over the rampart, I clutching my car
bine. On went the girls, between 1 Lie
Hanking rocks, out upon n gentle swell,
through a slight depression, over
stones, weeds, brambles, till at last
they came within BO yards of the guer
rilla camp. Then came a cheer from
the bandits?I knew not whether of tri
umph or welcome?nnd the girls en
tered the camp.
What they said, what was said to
them, 1 could not bear. 1 could only
see. Captain Hlngold raised his hat
and stood with It In his hand. He was
evidently speaking, for the men gather
ed around, nnd nil seemed to be Intent
on him nnd the girls. Then I saw
Helen step a little to the front, and nil
faces were turned to her. Occasionally
she made a gesture, now turning to our
little fortress, now pointing the ttnger
of scorn at tho guerrillas, as though to
shamo them or to Influence whatever
of manliness there might be in them.
She was making them a long speech.
At leant, It seemed so to me, who could
see, but not hear. At last there was a
cheer. The conference was ended
Then the little actress, Jaqueline; was
evidently using her art She would
whisk up to one of the men, stand be
fore him In a favorite position of hers,
bent slightly forward, and shake her
finger In his face. All the men stood
watching her. Occasionally there came
n burst of laughter, a yell of applause,
a clapping of hands, and 1 knew Hbnt
Jack was carrying her audience.
Then I could seo the figures below
beginning to busy themselves about
preparations for supper. Helen and
Jack took hold ns they had done ?nee
before, Hie men permitting them te do
tho work.
Buck, beside mo, chuckled.
"What Is It, Buck?"
"That consarned Jack's goln roun'
thar with tho skillet In one han' an
chawln somep'n she's got la the other.
Wish I was thar."
When supper was served, each man
vied with the others to provide for their
guests. Jack was seated on the ground,
her back resting against a tree, a plate
In her lap, a tin cup at her side, evl
i hurried her up the ttteep slope,
dently making * hearty supper, keep
ing the men running back and forth
from tho fire, fl?lng hac putt* pr her
cup at every trip.
After supper we could see tbat the
conference was resumed between Hel
en and the guerrillas. She was evi
dently arguing with them to effect a
purpose. The captain had a good deal
to any. but all were taking part in the
debate. Then the girls started for our
fort One of the men approached the
captain und s^ook a fist In his face.
The captain knocked him down. An
other started after the retreating party,
but was Intercepted. A general light

selves between the others and the girls,
who were , now coming up the hill,
quickening their pace at every step.

between the fort and the guerrilla
camp. First Jack came dashing past
me, wild with terror, her checks blanch
ed, her eyes stal ing. Helen came on
more slowly, tinning occasionally with
hot -hecks and Hashing eye. Below,
anu> * the guerrillas, was a babel
swearing, howling and shooting ? the
protecting party being the stronger
end keeping the others at bay. 1 put
my arm behind Helen and hurried her
up the steep slope. When we got to
the fort,Jack was already there, crouch
ing behind the rampart, her bend ap
pearing above It, her eyes as big as
saucers.
"Goody graclo'io, what n fool I was
to go down there! Wouldn't do It again
fo' anything." ?
Helen gave me a hurried account of
the visit. On entering the camp the
captain had complimented them upou
their bravery, both In the fights that
had occurred and In coming out un
armed, assuring them, looking ominous
ly nt some of the more cutthroat of his
"men, that if any man offered them the
slightest Indignity he would shoot him
ou the spot. Helen had replied that,
whatever they were, she believed they
were brave and above Injuring a wo
man. Then she held up to them the
magnitude of their "crimes and bade
th(Mi) go and enlist in the Confederate
army. Shu succeeded in getting an of
fer of a free conduct to all save mo.
This they persistently refused. After
much urging the captain agreed that
we should be let alone till the next
morning, n promise on which 1 placed
no reliance. Helen begged to be per
mitted to carry me provisions. This
was also refused.
"I did all I could," she said ruefully,
"but I couldn't move even the captain.
They wouldn't give me a morsel for
yoti."
"Oh, Helen," said Jack, "I'm tired of
hearing yo' whine!" And, taking off
her sunbounct, out rolled a liberal sup
ply of corn pone and salt pork.
"You little thief!" cried Helen and
throw her arms around her cousin.
A second time my life had been saved,
at least temporarily, by Jaquellne.

How THE Tariff Works ?Mr.
Bryan in The Coramouer this week
gives the best illustration we have scon
of our present tariff laws. He says:
" Once in a while our boasted 'Yankee
sbiowducss' is made to play second
fiddle. A British contractor recently
performed a neat trick on an Ameri
can eteel manufacturing concern. The
Englishman in question secured a con
tract for building a Bcction of an
elevated railway in Bostou. Knowing
tbat because of the curious operations
of the American protective tariff he
could buy Americnn made steel cheap
er in England than Americans could
buy it at their own doors ho proceeded
to take advantage of the fact. The
Englishman wrote from England to
soveral American structural iron works
asking bids on a certain lot of iron,
lie selected the best bid and closed tho
contract. When the contract was pro
erly signed he cabled the American iron
manufacturer not to ship to Liverpool,
but to ship to Boston. The point of
tho Englishman's joka will not be seen
by those who still cling to the idea
that Americans can tax themselves
rich. Neither will it be scon by those
who still labor under the delusion that
the foreigner pays tho tax."
President McKinley owned a collec
tion of gifts, souvenirs, etc., quite as
large as that of Genera. Grant, th nigh
not so valuable. Whei avor tho I resi
dent traveled gifts were presned upon
him. officers and private? in the
Philippines, in Cuba and iu Porto Rico
would send him curiov i articles from
those lands by tho hundreds. The Mc
Kinley collections from tho insular pos
sessions is thus ono of the most inter
esting in the United States. If properly
displayed it would fill a largo room.
Probably it will eventually ho placed
in the National Museum at Washing
ton.

A (Jaunen ok His Own. Accord-1
ing to u newspaper stoiy, tin re i? a
probability that Mr. Joi n \>. Rocke
fol'er will withdraw from the church
he has heretofore uftiliuled with In
Cleveland, O., and build up another
church, because of differences with the
pastor of the old congregation. Mr.
Rockefeller, according to the story, io
patronizing a young minister and p?o
poses to assist in establishing a church
body for him. The idea of men who
can afford it having churches of their
own is not new. In Beaufort County,
South Carolina, in days when planters
were the rich men of the country, a
planter who was an Episcopalian and
the principal supporter of the. parish
church, St. Luke's, and with whom the
rector made his home, got into a dis
pute with his friend and guest on
church matters. As a consequence,
the story goes, he built a church,
Methodist in faith?a denomination
then just becoming prominent--and
ran it in opposition to St. Luke's. It
is said that he would drive to the
church on Sundays and, taking his
staud in front of it, would call ou those
who were on their way to worship at
St. Luke's to stop and hear his preach
er. Tho church erected by the planter
has long since disappeared, but the
site of it is still known :is " Church
Hill." The old Episcopal church
edifice remains, hut it is now the pro
perly of a Methodi?t. congregation.
The old religion, like the old plauleis,
has passed away from the locality.?

Tiik Agricultural Fair,?James
G. Blniuc once said that the agricul
tural fair is the fanner's parliament.
This is not so true now as formerly
when spcechmaking was a conspicuous
part of the proceedings. We question
if the agricultural fair has not de
clined in power for good, to a greater
or less extent, by eliminating this fea
ture that was intended to seive as
mental stimulus as well as entertain
ment, and the substitution of "attrac
tions" of a decidedly different charac
ter, Tho present day agricultural fair
is largely based ou lwo general fea
tures?entertainment and exhibits,
j The first is made to servo the purpose
I of drawing pooplj through tho gates
at 50 cents a head, and the other to
serve tho purpose of Hie exhibitors iu
I advertising their wares. Both of these
I features may be, and usually arc,
I worthy so far as they go, but they do
1 not meet the full purpose of an agri
cultural fair. Wo believe that a re
? turn to the farmer's parliament idea as
'? expressed by Mr Blalne and adevelop
; ment of this feature would be pro
