CHAPTER XIU.
AT PriTSBURQ LAHDIK&
When Luke found himself prisoner of
the Tennessee brigands he fully etpected
that his last moment had come. Had his
captors been regular Confederates, bit lifo
would hare been safe, but be know that
these partisan warriors, no better than
brigands, with their primary objects blood
and plunder, aet all military law at de
fiance, and seldom or never spared a pris
oner. The captive was resigned to his fate,
however. He had entered the army fully
realutng the dangers which attended tuch
life, and taken bis chances; now that fate
had formed the decree against him he had
determined to murmur not
"Well, Yank," bawled a great, bluttering
fellow, coming up to where the prisoner sat,
bit hands bed behind his back, "you've got
ter swing, that's all tliar is 0' it."
He paused, expecting to see his captive
go down on his knees and Implore mercy,
but Captain Muson was firm and unmoved,
his eye moeting bis enemy's without quail
ing. Finding that he made no answer, the
guerrilla added :
"What d'ye say V it!"
"Nothing."
"Yer don't, heyl"
"No; I am unable to defend myself."
"Wail, hain't yer agoln' ter beg I"
"No "
"Than bang him teronce, boys; string Mm
up. I say."
H'tlf a dozen started toward the captive
at J they would put the threat into execu
tion, when some one evidently high In au
thority put a stop to the proceedings. Luke
did not know why be did to, but rcalixed
that his fato was deferred to future time.
The arrival of country boy with some
alarming Intelligence threw the guerrillas
Into con fusion, and preparations were made
for a hasty departure. Luke was placed
upon a horse, and under strong guard
hurried off down the road Into a wild,
broken country, where the hills were to
high that they looked like mountain peaks,
and the forests were so dense as to form
safe hiding-place from the Invading army.
They halted at an old mill on a creek, and
the 0ritonor was given a breakfast, which,
poor as It was, was heartily relished by the
half-starved soldier. Luke was the only

prisoner, and, as he bad seen but two
Union soldiers dead, be concluded that the
others bad made their escape.
It seemed that the guerrillas were cot
3ulte sure of their own safety even bore,
'be officer held whispered consultations,
and nodded and gesticulated in an excited
manner.
" If tbey intend to murder me, why don't
they do it and have it over with!" said the
prisoner, watching their strange maneu
vers. The day wore slowly by, night came, and
the prisoner grew nervous. He reasoned
that these men would choose darlcnost for
their diabolical work. Murderers are usu
ally too cowardly to perpetrate their1 hein
oat crimes in daylight.
At dusk the sound of horses' foet com
ing down the hill reached the ears ot the
captive, who was sitting at window ot
the house thai rormoa bis prison, ana be
saw a small party of Confederate cavalry
approattting the old mill. The regularity
of their gray nnlformstmade Iteaty to dis
tinguish them from guerrillas.
, - Luke bad little hope of their being able
to release him, for thoy were outnumbered
by the guerrillas fire to one. It might be
vea possible that they would not care to
Interfere with these partisan freebooters,
ft was too dark for him to distinguish
facet, and when they had dismounted and
dispersed among the buildings about the old
mill he forgot all about them.
Others were coming and going, and the
subdued buss of voloe constantly reached
his ear. Hi room was dark, as neither
lamp nor candle bsd been lighted, and the
guards at the doors and windows looked
like silent sUtuos. ,
" Where is bet" a voice at last atked.
There woe mnethlng peculiarly familiar in
that voico; but Luke was unable to tell 'to
whom It belonged. '
' The sound of footeteps approaching hit
prison door- coached his ears, and next
moment the sama strangely-familiar voloe
wus heard speokiug to the guard. Some
one entered the apartment, and, coming to
Luke' side, asked: ' '
"Ar ye the pris'ner?"
It was too dark for features to be recog
nized at even a foot ..-.;
"I am," the prisoner answered.
" Hain't ye Cuptain Mason."
"Iam."
" " Don't' ye know me, Captain,1' the voice
asked In an undertone. '
" No, though I have certainly heard your
voice before."
"Don't ye remember Dick Bneed, the
wounded rcb at Fort Donelson, who told
ye 'bout Captain Noff gittin' awayt"
"Of ooune I remember you, but I thought
you a badly-wounded prisoner."
"I warn' t so bad hurt ei I let on. I only
did that ter git away an' I done it, an' I'm
here. I was at the house last night when
you'uns charged It"
" And you got away."
" Yes, I run at the first, an' wasn't seen,
except by a fussed nigger who run me three
mile Inter a swamp, and shot at me a doien
times. I laid fur him an' knocked him
down wi' th' butt 0' my gun."
Luke at once knew that the negro al
ludod to was Blackhawk, their mysterious
guido, and this accounted for his absence
which hod caused their recent disaster.
"Did you kill him 1" he asked.
" Dun know for sartln, but hope I did," the
Confederate growled, "fur I never saw a
devil to hungry ter kill anybody as he was
mo. It war so infernal dark that I couldn't
see his face, but I half believe h war some
o' them black devils I use ter wallup when
I war overseer."
A fow moments' silence ensued, and then
Luke said:
" Well, Bneed, did you expect to find me
herel"
" Yes," the Confederate answered, and
lowering his voice a little so that the guard
might notovorhear him, he added: "Cap
tain Noff tent me ter And ye."
"What I it Captain Kelt herel"
" Hush 1 not so loud 'r It'll be all up with
our plana Ye see these fellers can't be
managed like sojers. They're ateto' blamed
thieves 'n murderers, 'n wouldn't miss
hangin' yer fur any thing. We couldn't
begin ter save ye 'nless twat done by strat
egy an' saroumventlon, y know." All the
while be was talking in a mere whisper.
and the stupid guard at the door, who was
draining the brandy-flask Bneed had given
blin to allow htm to enter, beard nota word,
"We've got it 'bout fixed up," Bneed con
tinued. "In 'bout an hour a boy'U come
fur ye. Don't yer ax him any questions,
don't yer speak a word, nor even look
around, but f oiler the boy. Now, d'ye
mark what I'm say'nl"
"Every word."
"Will ye carry "toutl"
"Yes."
" Good-bye. "
And he was gone. Gone as suddenly and
silently as if be had melted away Into dark
nets. Luke half believed he was still there,
and put out his hand to feel for him, but bis
band found only darkness and the empty
air. An hour pasted and the tilenoe was
broken only by the drunken, inaudible mur
muring of the guard at the door. Occasion
ally be mumbled snatches of a song In a
hoarse, drunken voice, and Luke,who began
to see through the plans of Albert Nell and :
Dick Bneed, trembled lest they hsd carried
it too far.
At last, however, the guard became quiet,
and his heavy breathing told that he had
succumbed. Borne one came In, and going
to bis side motioned him to rise. He did so.
A small, soft hand, which heat onoe knew to
be the hand of th boy, was placed In his
snd he was led from the room. In the hall
near the doorwny he stumbled orer some
one, and a half-smothered curse came from
the drunken guard.
Ho was warned by a gentle pressure on
his hand to be slleat and careful. Another
person Joinsd them, and the throe went
softly from th house.
It was so dark that Luke could no more
see than If he had been totally blind. They
were going through the mud, and slowly
making their way somewhere. They
crossed a fence and were in the woods.
Not a word had yet been spoken, and be
yond an intimation that be was among
friends, hsknew not whether he was being
led to liberty or death. At last they came
to horses.
'Mount this one," said a low, deep, earn
est voice which he recognized as Albert
HefTa
"Albert, is It you I"
"Yes, hush mount; we have not a mo
ment to lose," was the whispered answer.
There were four of them, and they
mounted horses and started on, Albert and
Dick in front, himself and the boy bringing
up the rear. Their horse were soon cllmb
int; a muddy bill.
'Don't say a word 1" said Major Ken, in a
cautious undertone. A few rods further
and a voice from the darkness called:
"Haiti"
The two reined in their horses.
"Who goes therel"
"A friend with the countersign."
"Advance and giv it"
As they rode forward Albert whispered:
"Stone River," and they were told to
pass.
Reaching the top of the bill they found
the ground a little more level, and put their
horses to a gallop, lor Lune't rescuers
knew that a long ride was before them.
Two or three miles away they met a body oi
guerrillas returning.
"Halt,tbarl Who be you'uns an' wharys
gwlnel" their leader cried, when they were
within a few rods of them.
"I am Major Neff, on my way to my com
mand," Albert promptly answered.
"Ye art Wall, I tell yer, Major, ye'd bet
tor look a lee tie out, case th' roads ar'
swarmin' with Yanks, pourln' by th'
millions down on ter Nashville. We'v been
a runnln' from them till we're a'most tuck
ered out"
"I must join my command, and we'v got
fast horses, so I don't think there's much
danger of th Yank catching us. Did you
meet any of my men!"
"No."
"That Is strange. They were to meet me
on the Clarksvllle road. We'll hurry on, for
we can't afford to miss them."
The friendly cloak of night concealed
Captain Mason's uniform from view, and
tbe guerrilla could not see whether it was
blue or my. 1
A mil further on they came upon a part of
Major NefTt men, a remnant from the attack
of tbe night before, and they all traveled
along with the man who had led the attack
agalntt them, until It was nearly daylight,
and Albert, sending all the men, save th
boy, back out of earshot, turned to th pris
oner and said:
" This boy will go with you to th house,
and just beyond it 1 camped the advance of
the Union army. Good-bye, Luke I" .
"Good bye, Albert, and may God bless
you." Their hands mat, and for a moment
neither moved nor spok. . The they sep
arated, and, accompanied by the boy, who
had been dumb ever since be came into
Luke' presence, he rede on.
Just at th early dawn began to crimson
th eastern Iky the house was reached.
"Here I must leav your' said his
guide. "
Had a bomb exploded Luke would not
have been more astounded. That voice he
would know among ten thousand. A mo
ment more and his horse was alongside the
other, his arms enciroled a slender waist,
his kisses fell upon a cheek as soft and
fair as Helen's of Troy, while be mur
mured: " Lillie, Lillie, my darling, bave you done
this for me!"
Closer he pressed her to hut breast His
lips met hers again and again in rapturous
kisses of love. Buch beroio ooaduot ne had
read ot Id fiction, but It never occurred to
him that It would become a literal truth.
Bhe hurriedly explained that herself and
brother learning from Dick Bneed, who
had just escaped from Fort Donelson, that
Captain Mason was a prisoner of the guer
rillas, the three had determined to rescue
him at all hazard.
" Remember, Luke, that you aboil always
have my prayers. I mutt go now," she said
In conclusion.
Th parting was an affeotionate one. The
lover would have kept her at his side if he
could have done so, but she assured him
that she had friends and relatives able to
care for her, and that her father, lying sick
not far away, demanded her personal atten
tion. The parting farewell was spoken and
he was gone. .
Slowly and sadly the young Captain rode
to the Union camp. His own regiment wot

returned from th dead. Tbey remained
her but a thort time and went to Nash
ville, whore Luke was commissioned Colonel.
From here they were a few weeks later
ordered to Pittsburg Landing, which place
tbey reached among the very first troops.
CHAPTER XIV.
'KILL HE, MASSA, ARID Dl BBCRR OB TOUR
BUtr DIBS."
After th battle of Fort Donelson Gen
eral Grant, the hero of that fight, was
temporarily removed from command. The
only cause for removing him that has ever
been triven is that orders sent General
Or an ."were never received, and of course
be could not obey them, but took matters in
his own hand and acted independently.
The impartial student ot history will very
readily come to the conclusion that It was
wull for tbe cause of the Union that Gen
eral Grant never received those orders, for
If he had, instead of pushing on and seising
Nashville and even Donelson, he would bsve
hod to lay at Fort Henry. West Point bss
made tome good military men among the
thousands turned out from that Institution;
but General Grant's common sense was ot
more value to his country than all his early
military training.
On the 17th of March, 1864, Grant was re
stored to command, and found the Union
army in his district divided, one part being
on the east tide of the Tennessee at Savan
nah, while one part was at Crump's Land
ing on th west bank four mile further up
tbe river, while a third division was at
Pittsburg Landing, which was ttiU five miles
further up the river. '
The loss of Fort Henry, Donelson and
Nashville bad greatly demoralised the Con
federates, and to once more bring tbe army
into something like marching orders, Gen
eral Sidney Johnston, one of the most effi
cient commanders in th Boutbern army,
began concentrating all the available forces
at Corinth. The wisdom of this action mutt
be acknowledged by all military men. John
ston had learned the kind ot a man Grant
was. Corinth waa the junction of two of
tbe most Important railroads in the Missis
sippi valley one connecting Memphis, and
tbe other the Mississippi river with the
East, and the other leading to all tbe cotton
Btotes of the South. Still another railroad
connected Corinth with Jackson, in Weav
Tennessee.
Grant at onoe law that it he obtained pos
session of Corinth the enemy would have
no railroad for the transportation of armlos
or supplies, until that running east from
Vicksburg was reached. In fact, It was the
great strategic position at th West be
tween the Tennessee and th Mississippi
rivers, and between Nashvill and Vicks
burg. General Grant at onoe put all the troops
at Savannah in motion for Pittsburg Land
ing. It was hi Intention to march from
thit position on Corinth as soon as Bucll
with bis army from tne unio should arrive,
and the west bank of the river was u be the
atartinff Mint
Colonel Mason wo thrown well to the
front in the brigade of tbe brave old Gen
eral B. M. Prentiss. Luke's regiment was
filled with recruit which were almost
hourly pouring into camp. Many of tbe
new soldiers were young mon fresh from
the farms, counting-houses, shop and
tores, who bod never yet smelt powder,
but who were destined ere long to learn
something of the terrible realities of war.
Arkantaw Tom, Corporal Max, Ned Cot
ton and Bill Bnow, who were still with th
regiment, had become a sort of self-im
posed body-guard lor tne new Colonel.
Though not on hi staff, they were always
near at band in Dour 01 danger.
The Colonel cam to love these four vet
erans lik brother, and even though Max
did grumble be knew be could be relied on
when bard fighting wss required.
"Wall, Kernel, don't ver think we're,

"He ought to know something about
what the rebels ar doing. I wish you

"I'll do it, Kernel. I'll go right now n
hunt 'im up, " and old Tom rose to bis feet
and started from the tent to find tbe mys
terious negro; but Blackhawk, as usual,
cenldnotbe found when sought, and Tom
bad a fruitless search.
That evening General Prentiss ordered
Colonel Mason to take two hundred men
next morning and go out several milos in
their advanoe to reconnolter, as it was re
ported that the enemy had been seen in
considerable force along th Corinth rood.
Almost ever sinoe his arrival at Pitts
burg Landing Colonel Mason hod heard of
skirmishing in their front, and his own
pickets bod been fired on several times.
"It Is probably some guerrillas," said the
Colonel to himself. "They are prowling
through tbe country, and the woods are
full of them. A few companies ot cavalry
can easily put them to flight"
Of course tbe tour men who noa been nit
self-constituted body-guard formed a part of
the two hundred picked men, and with
three day's rations and forty rounds, they
set out at daylight next morning. As they
were pasting one of the outlying picket
potts a sergeant bailed them and suid :
"Yea better ioox a mueout."
"Have you seen any thing of tbe enemy
this morning!" the Colonel asked.
"No; but they've been a thootln' at u
boys sll night and wounded Jack Gates."
"How many times were you nrea on r
"Three. The last time thoy gave us a
dozen shots all at once."
They are only a few bushwhackers; we
will drive them from tbe woods," said the
Colonel.
With three or tour exceptions Luke' en
tire two hundred were veteran who had
been trained in the hottest fight at Bel
mont and Donelson.
The country wss undulating and covered
with a dense growth of tree and under
brush, except where clearing had been
made and fields cultivated.
Tbe Colonel and hi staff were the only
mounted men in the expedition. The re
cent rains bad made the roads muddy, and
marching was difficult and wearisome.
They had gone about five or six miles
when the advanoe guard Informed tbe
Colonel that tbey were in eight of a farm
house, near which a number ot horses were
hitched.
They are bushwhackers. Now to capt
ure them," said the Colonel.
He divided bis command into two di
visions, and approaching the house from
the south and east prepared to flank it so as
to prevent any one from escaping.
Luke glanced at tbe sky to see what tbe
hour was, but it was too cloudy for him to
determine by the sun, and, consulting bis
watch, he discovered It was after twelve.
" They are at dinner," he thought, "we'll
bag our game and learn something from
them."
Tbe Colonel waa not yet in eight of tbe
house, which' was eoaoealed by the thick
woods and underbrush, when a single shot
rang on the air.
A moment's silence ensued and then a
doxen more report followed in quick suc
cession. The yellt of combatants, snorting
of terror-stricken horses and sharp crack of
musketry filled the air.

Burke was sustained amid the anxiety
and agitation of publlo life by domestic
felicity. "Every care vanishes," be said,
"the moment I enter beneath my own root.
His description of his wife Is too long to
quote, but we must give an epitome ot It.
Ot ber beauty he said it did not arise from
features, from complexion or from shape.
"She bas all three In a high degreo, but It is
not by those that she touches tbe heart; It
is ail that sweetness of temper, benevo
lence, innocence and sensibility which a
face can express that forms ber beauty,
Her eyes have a mild light, but they awe
you when she pleases; they command, like
a good man out 01 omce, not by autnomy,
but by virtue. Her stature is not tall, she
is not made to be tbe admiration of every
body, but th happiness of one. She has all
the firmness that does not exclude delicacy
she bas all the softness that does not Imply

"Her voice I a low, soft music, not
formed to rule public assemblies, but to

you mutt come close to her to hear It. To

Is the transcript of the other. She discovers
the right and wrong of things, not by rca

knowledge. Bhe has a true generosity of
