over him. When tbey reacneu iu. nv
they saw that th house was closed, and had
the appearance oi oeing uoki.
viinaA hv his comrade. Luke has-
whip-orack-like report broke on the air, and
when he looked again a saddle was empty,
and a horse flying at the speed of the wind
down the road. ; The shot checked the Con
federates for a moment, and Luke's com
panions emptied their gun at them, still
more confusing the cavalry, and wounding
a man and horse. Knowing that they oould
not long withstand such a euporlor force,
Luke urged his men to Hy 'across the field.
The corn was tall, and the ovorhanging
blades concealed them when a few rods
away. But they had not gone a fourth of a
mile before the oorn terminated at a cross
fence, beyond which was a meadow, from
which the grass had been recently out.
They climbed the fence and ran at full
speed across the meadow toward a, log
stable on the hill.
"Forward, over the feuoeandout them
down I" they hear a clear, ringing voice In
their rear shout The sound of that voloe
sent . a thrill through th frame of Luke
Mason. He recognized the speaker, who was
doubtless lu command of their pursuers, as
a personal friend, though a political anomy.
Reaching the log stable, Luke hurried the
inside and said: . ., ., :.
knon't fire a sho.. until you are compelled
to."Throwing down his gun, he walked
downhe hill unarmed to meet the Confed
erate cVyalr.v, who were Just leaping their

There was no mistaking tne intent oi

and at last, growiug Impatient, he turned
the knob and opened the door. The room
wa unoccupied. There wu Mr. HefT fa-

of bl own voice.
He toon atlsflod himself that the house
was deserted. A warm dinner wa mak

convinced him that th house had been but
recently occupied.
Hoping that th owner might be near,

Tbe main column at last cam in view,
with Captain Smart at the head.
"Ye've saved It so far, I see," he said.
"I have, Captain, but I cam very nearly
shooting one man to do it"
"You did right If y And any o1 them

A Luke lntenaea bbkidk mi f"1

about two hundred men, which Captain
Smart called an army, moved on.
The Captain was correct when be aiot

courage and determination to hold th

By the time tne last vraggior urn

Luke, with hi guara, swuxi w
them. They Jogged leisurely along tne
road, picking up a straggler here and there,
until their force numbered twelve or fif
teen. .
Th idea that they were In any danger
from the rear never for a moment entered
their head until tbey were taruea oyiue
clatter of horses' feet in that direction.
" What' that!" some one orieo.
"Hosaea, by Jlmlnyl" Tom answered.
At thl moment a black man, bar neauea
and bare footed, as most oi in neia-uanus
were, came running down the road toward
them, crying:
" Run, maasa Ion a ss, nm.
" Who Is it, Blackhawk!" Luk asked.
"Robs am comin' like de debu, massa;
more' a a thousand of um."
The earth trembled beneatn tne oeavy
thunder of hoofs, and Luk knew ther
were not leu than half a hundred horsemen
in their rear. A panio seized tbe men, ana
half of them ran away into the woods on tbe
left ...

"Dod burn 'em for tarnol skunks;

Arkansaw Tom, who hafl witnessed th
strange maneuver, on i Luke' return
said: tV-' I " "
" Wall, I s wow, It beat dreatlon. Howd

Luke explained that' th rebel Captain
was the son of the man whose house they
had saved. They returned to the road and.
took tbe body of their comrade to th
house of a Union man, where it was left for
burial. As they were hurrying down the
rood a dark figure suddenly wormed ita
way out of the thicket at the road we
and said:
" Massa Luke, yon wa'n't hurt, wus y?"
. " No, Blaokhawk, where hav you been I"
"In de brush, maasa. I so all I see

"I believe you' are bewitched," aald
Lu ke. " W bat do you mean by thl strange
conduct, Blackhwkr" . -
"Borne day I tell mas, but noX now;
I's gwine," and h turned sbout and dis
appeared into the bushea. '
" There Is some mystery about this blackr
fellow," ald Luko. "I wish J oould
fathom it"
Late that evening they overtook the main
body. The little army wa noamped on the
ban ks of a creek, and rumors of an attack en
tbe rear had oome to them. Luk and hi
companions were supposed to hav been
killed or captured, and Captain Bmart wa
overjoyed to see them. ,
I'm glad you're back, Luke," uald the
Captain, taking the recruit aside. "l"v
got omethlu' good for you." ,
"Whatl" Luk ked, In mazenimrt
"Yi ootlc that we've been havm' r
uruita comm' in ' evor ' ino we started."
Luke had noticed that their number
were hourly lnorealng. rainouo lanaer
and their on, apprized of the approach of
th army, hastened to Join it and swell their
number. They cam bringing their own
gun and ammunition, and tuch arms, at
dose range, were not to be dospuwd.
"We'v got a full company unorganized,
an' they want a leader. They'r ready to
But I have no commission yet" 1
' Neither have L" answered ' Captain
Smart - "You are a inuoh an officer a any
f u." i. . .U. v'--
There was soon to b a regimental organ
ization, at which only the regimental offl-
ers were to vote, ana Luke was mod to
understand that Captain Bmart expected a
favor In return, for the Captain was a canal
date for the Colonelcy.
The newly-elected Captain set aboat com
pleting tbe organization of his company. He
himself attended to drilling them, using all
the military knowledge he possessed, which
was very little.
In military knowlodgo the Qui! never suo-
oeed. 8dm men served three years in the
army who nover learned to keep step, wnue
the manual Of arms was a oontinual Chinese
puzzle. At the end of the first hour' drill,
which was by moonlight, Luke' patienoe
wa almost worn threadbare. That night
their bed was the earth, and their covering
(he trees, and beyond .the confusion of
Changing guards the night passea quieuy;
put they were all recruits, and at each time
the guard was relieved sufficient noise was
made to rouse the entire camp. . .
Next morning, by liberal foraging, they
procured a sufficient supply of provision.
Luke's company wa sen V. In the advance
when the march began, and he eleoted a
sergeant With a dozen men to go ahead, giv
ing him particular Instructions' to reoon
noiter well and report the first sign of an
enemy.tbatwaseen.,:0Jjj . ; ., ! r
They had not gone, a, mil oeiqre n
heard a shot, followed by two more in quick
succession.' He hurried forward with all
possible speed, and, when he bad reached
tbe top of the hill h cam in full yivw of a
large, elegabi farm-house, in front of which
waved a Confederate flag. '
, 1 His advano guard stood huddled to
gether about a' hundred pace from the
gate, At which was a beautiful young girl of
eighteen, clad .in spotless white, waving a
revolver in the air. ..- i ! - :

This was an honor of which Luke had not
yet dreamed. He thought th recruit
might prefer to ehoo a Csptaia from their
own numbers. But Captain Bmart assured
him that such would not be the case. Tbey
were without any organization and stranger
to each other,
Come with me, we'll get 'em la line,
take their names, and see 'f I don't pull
ye through."
The unorganised men were got together
and Captain Bmart made them a short
speech, and then called upon II r. Mason,
whom h represented as one of their num
ber, to deliver another; after which their
name were placed on an extempore muster
roll and all sworn In. "
" It's your duty noxt to eloct officers," aald
Captain Bmart. "Choose flint a Captain,
and select tbe most competent man in your
company. It's not for m to suggest but
Mr. Luke Mason is of th timber out of

81 Bmilu, Phil Daniel and tut of other
among you would make excellent officer."
The result was the election of Hike Mason

" I told ye I would fix ye all right," aaid
Captain Bmart, after it was over.
