Mr. G. II. Snyder, a well known
citizen of Lawrence, Kan, said:
I am now seventy years of
ape. About three years ago I ex
perienced a coldness or numbness
in the feet, then creeping up my
legs, until it reached my body. I
grew very thin in flesh, appetite
poor and I did not relish my food.
At last I became unable to move
about. I consulted several dis
tinguished physicians, one telling
me I had locomotor ataxia, an
other that I had creeping paral
ysis- I took their medicincs but
continued to grow worse. Almost
a year ago a friend advised me
to trv Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
for Pale People. Before I had
finished my first box I found they
were benefiting me. I used twelve
boxes in all, and was perfectly
cured. Although it is six months
since I used my last pill there has
been no recurrence of the disease.''

SYNOPSIS.
CHAPTER I.—Gen. Heath is ordered to
report to headquarters at Chattanooga.
An aide Is present at the Interview. The
general is shown an order for his arrest
and court-martial, and is then assigned to
speolal duty to watch & contemplated
movement of Longstreet'A corps.' He ac
cepts.
CHAPTER IL-Gen. Heath leaves Chat
tanooga with 600 men, his brigade, agd
moves out to Morgnnton'a cross-roads. On
the way be meets with a girl he knows
who lives at the place he is to make his
headquarters. He insists on her returning
with nis troops. At her home It is thought
a face was seen at the window, but a search
through the house revealed no suspicious
persons. Lieut. Hall, the-aide, 1b placed in
charge of the young lady with orders to
watcn her and question her carefully. She
faints.
CHAPTER IIL—When questioned she
said her mother is for the confederacy and
herself for the union. At night she is
ting to burn
JLII
again sees a mysterious facs at the win
dow.
CHAPTER V.—Gen. Heath accepts a pa
role from Miss Beach at the suggestion of
Lieut. Hall, who proposes to answer for
her. During the night she slips out of the
house and escapes.
CHAPTER VI.—The federal troops are
1A
•ieut.
surprised at night and In the fight 1
Hall is captured.
CHATER VII.—Lieut. Hall Is taken be
fore a confederate, UaJ. Berante, who had
been a classmate of Gen. Heath at West
Point and served with him In the west.
He claimed to have an incriminating letter
written by Heath offering to surrender his
command In the army to the mayor of a
southern town In which he was stationed.
Hall sees the letter. Margaret Beach
turns up and at night assists Hall to as*
cape.
"Halloo!" he said, surprised "I
thought you were taken."
"So I -was. I escaped."
"Good!" lie was very much pleased^
and grasped me warmly by the hand.
"How did you manage it?"
"Well, you see, general, until a pris
oner is confined in regular quarters, he
is not very well guarded."
"You nre right there quite a number
of our men have come in." He sat
down to breakfast. "Well?"
"Last night was kept in bivouac with
other prisoners. The camp on one side
was protected by wagons instead of &
sentry. I rolled over to one of the
wagons, hid myself under It, and then
made oft in the darkness on the other
side."
"Where was the guard all the while?"
"Chatting."
"With whom?" The general was but
tering piece of corn bread.
"A woman."
"A woman?" He smiled. "The
nicest bits of deviltry in this war are
accomplished by women."
This was not according to my re
hearsal at all. "How did you get the
command away, general?" I aslted,
changing the subject in order to gain
time to think.
"I didn't they got themselves away
by hard fighting. We managed to get
together—those of us who were left—
and retreated here."
"Why didn't the
enemy follow?"
"They will, as soon as they have
formed a junction with others of their
forces. My vedettes are on the lookout
for them. But this woman who was
chatting with the sentry?"
"She kept him talking while I rolled
under the wagon then I cut—"
"Who was she?"
"I cut through the woods, jumped
a fence, and—"
"The woman?"
"What the devil does it matter who
she was, general?" I blurted, losing my
self-control., lie should have put me
under arrest for an insubordinate an
swer. He did no such thing he seemed
to enjoy my discomfiture.
"H'ml Chcrcliez la femme. I shall
be delighted to hear of one woman in
the south favoring the union cause, cl
oven a young union soldier who carries
his heart on his sleeve."
His mocking tone had been making
mo angry ever since the conversation
began. His last remark made me hot.
"The woman in this ease," I cried
rebelliously, "is one of the noblest of
Ood's creatures."
"And this noble creature's name is—1
"Margaret Beach."
The general started and turned pale.
"Where did you meet her?" he asked,
quickly.
"Jn a house occupied by the com
manding officer of the rebels."
He strove hard to conceal his feel
ings. It was impossible. His head
dropped on his chest and a shiver shot
through his body. Then suddenly re
covering himself, his expression
changed from that of a stricken man
to that of one nerved for any duty.
"General," I said, in a husky voice, "I
am ready to resign my position on your
stall? and submit to court-martial."
"My boy," he said, kindly, and I knew
that on this occasion he used the ex
pression alTectiouutely, "your resigna
tion would not be ucccptcd, and you
will not be tried. Your action in tins
matter is perfectly satisfactory to me."
There was a pause, to break which
I asked: "Have you any orders, gen
eral?"
"Yes. Bring the prisoner to ine." She
was no loagcr Margaret Beach she was
"the prisoner."
Going to the house, I told Margaret
that the general wanted to see her. Well
as she realized the change her lost act
had made in him, she did not realize it
fully. But she was perfectly calm and
prepared for anything. We found the
general waiting for us before his tent.
"Miss Beach," he said, as if address
ing a stranger, "you were caught with
information in your possession intend
ed for the enemy. Your word of honor
was xledged not thus to offend again,
whereupon you were given your liberty,
and at once took advantage of it to go
to the enemy's camp. It is plain to me
for what purpose but I confess I do
not understand your return. I would
be glad to hear your explanation."
"I have no explanation to make, gen
eral." She used the word "general"
with the same cold emphasis he had
used when addressing her as Miss
Beach.
"Are you content to remain a per
jurer?"
"For my acts I am accountable to no
human being."
There was a short silence, during
which the two regarded each other
intently. In the general's face I could
see nothing but condemnation, while
I fancied 1 saw a quick glance of re
proach in Margaret's dark eyes, like the
Hash of a gun at night.
"From this moment," thegeneral said,
"your fate is in other hands than mine.
You will be tried by QOurt»nartlal,
a*tut ftntit Ihi MM
MITCHEL.
pronounced on one engaged in secrct
service."
I led Margaret back to the house,
where an order soon followed to place
her in close confinement.
There's going to be the devil to pay,"
said Waltar, half an hour later. "The
general has got one of his fits on."
Even the men seemed to know that
something was in the wind. Old "salts"
of the sea could not more certainly
predict foul weather in the sky than
the troops could see hard fighting in
the general's face. About dark we got
the first flash of the coming storm.
The general called me to him and or
dered me to ride to the headquarters of
the different commands, directing each
commanding officer to send two of his
bcBt men, especially fitted for scouting
service, to report in person at head
quarters. I gave the order, and the men
reported as directed. The general sent
them out by twos, apportioning the
neighboring territory among them,
with a new to discovering the posi
tions occupied by the different bodies
of the enemy. After they had left, he
directed me to bring Corporal Plunk,
his favorite Bcout,alongleanIndianian,
whose principal occupation during the
days when the prairies of his native
state were being opened by the plow
was shaking with ague. He had his
own way of doing everything, and
could no more be induced to follow a
plan laid out for him than a mountain
horse could be guided by its rider over
a rocky trail. He sometimes scouted
in uniform, but was quite as likely to
go out in the garb of a citizen. It was
not long before I had him standing be
fore the general, not at attention, for
Buch a position was not possible with
him, but loitering awkwardly till the
general, who was intent upon a map
spread out before him, should notice
him.
"Corpora*," said the general, sud
denly, "you must bring me the en
emy's position, and that before mid
night. This to the most important
service on which I have ever sent you.
Take the best horse in the command
and go."

CHAPTER IV.—Gen. Heath's command
Is attacked by confederates, but they
eaten off. During the fight LdeUt. Hare
Having dispatched his scouts, the
general lay down on his cot, a Bignal
for us all that we might turn to rest or
amusement.
Walter and I, instead of preparing
for what was to come, as we should
have done, spent the time in a game of
shinplasters. Inveterate gamester as
I was, on this occasion I tried to beg
off, for my heart and mind were full
of Mhrgaret Beach. But Walter sus
pected the cause of my unwillingness
to play, and, not wishing him to see
any further than necessary into the
state of my mind, I yielded. Once well
started in the game, I forgot Margaret,
the approaching operations, every
thing but the cards, and at 12 o'clock*
when the scouts began, to come in and
the general needed me, he had to call
twice before I heard him.
The reports were conflicting and of
little value. Most of the men had gath
ered their information from citizens,
who either did not have any informa
tion to give or purposely misled them.
About one o'clock Plunk came in, slow
ly ambling on his nag, bearing all the
information required.
'Bout three mile above where the
Tennessee runs into the Hiwassee on
the west bank, I ran afoul of a rebel
camp. I counted animals and made
out purty nigh onto six hundred
Bight opposite, across the river, were
some more, and I judged by their
camp fires purty nigh as manv."
"That all?"
"All I could find."
"What guard across the Hiwassee?"
"One company with two small can
non."
"Good." And the corporal was dis
missed.
The general called his officers to his
tent, and, spreading a map on a pine
table, lighted by a tallow dip, informed
them of his plans.
"Here, gentlemen," he said, point
ing to the position of the confederates,
"are two bodies of the enemy. You see
here, just above the junction of the
two rivers, a bridge crossing the Ten
nessee. It is still held by a small rebel
force with two guns. The two forces
will meet at the bridge, and, moving
in separate columns by these two
roads leading to our position here—"
"G-ff-geueral," interrupted Snaffle,
"you talk as if you were in command
of the rebels instead of us. How do you
know all this?"
"Major," replied his commander,
"how don't you know all this? There's
the map, here are the separato bodies
of the enemy, and your eyesight is
good."
Sn&ffle made no reply for awhile. He
studied the map with an expression of
great wisdom. "I suppose," he said,
presently, "the proper thing to do is
to engage the main fbrce on this side,
trusting to b-b-beat it before the others
can cross."
"That is not my plan. I shall go
straight for the bridge."
"W-w-what are you going to do at the
b-b-bridge?"
"Take it."
r1
"Then what?"
"Go over it."
"And get c-c-eorncred on that point,
with a river on each.flank, and in rear?'
"We will hold this bridge."
Snaffle scratched liis head. "G-g-gen
eral," he said, "I don't remember ever
having seen a campaign like that laid
down in any of the books.'
"It's very simple, major. Your plan
of attack on the main force up here
would never do. The others would
cross the bridge, unite, and you would
have to fight them all together. Gen
tlemen, you understand what we have
to do. Let us be off."
As I look back on all that was ac
complished on that eventful morning,
I wonder if the general did not wave
a magical wand over the enemy to com
pel him to his purpose. I remember
the night march to the bridge our men
moving stealthily as we approached it,
to surprise the guard, and springing
up suddenly before the two pickets
who drowsily watched then our whole
force olattering across, the main guard
surrounded in their tents, the little
knot of prisoners huddled together in
the gloom.
I remember the general posting Wil
ton at the west end of the bridge, with
instructions to hold it while the rest

ludicrous scene thrusts itseii on my
memory amid the volleys, the shouting
of orders, confederate yells, turmoil
death. While we march northward to
attack the confederates on the east
bank, there, on the other side of the
river, within 6iglit, but out of range,
marching in a parallel line with us, is
the force we left on the west bank.
They can't trouble us, for the bridge
is several miles below and held by Wil
ton, and the only shots we fire at them
are gibes. We come upon the enemy
we are going to attack, advancing to
meet us. Two lines of battle—theirs
the smaller a short, sharp fight
Snaffle to the rear surrender. And all
this while across the river stands the
force that has beaten us, looking on
with no power to assist their com
rades. On a stump stands their com
mander, gesticulating, swearing, shak
ing his fist at us, brandishing his
saber, shouting like a madman.
Then we hurry back to the bridge,
where wc find Wilton fighting the ad
vance of the force on the west bank.
With the assistance of two captured
guns, the general leads us against the
advancing foe, and, falling upon it like
a thunderbolt, puts it to rout.
But who is this pursy, red-faced,
wild-eyed little man spurring towards
the general, every corkscrew curl shak
ing like the spring of bird-cage? It
Is Snaffle. Some momentous question
is on his mind.
"G-g-g-general," he began, before
coming fairly within hearing, "w-w
will you have the k-k-kindness to ex
plain how the d-d-devil it was that
w-w-we were not b-b-bagged instead of
the enemy? W-w-we did every tiling
w-we could to get ourselves into a
t-t-t-trap. It seems to me that plan of
campaign w-w-was the most f-f-f-f-f—"
He tripped on his fs and could get no
further.
'Major," said the general, in the 6oft
voice he could assume when he wished,
'our success is due to your marked
ability in getting into their rear."
There is another scene which oc
curred after all was over, and when the
general and I were riding into the yard
of the plantation. The sun was at our
backs, and shining directly on the front
of the house, Hooding it with a bright
light. Looking UJJ at the "spook win
dow," as Walter had named it, there
again—was it human, or was it a
dream? 1 reined in my horse and
stared wildly at it. Surely I could not
be in my senses. It. was the same face
I had seen before, but now, with the
light full upon it and with more time
to see it, it was plainly that of a young
girl. She could not have been more
than 1? years old. At first I thought
her Margaret Beach but she was not
Margaret besides being younger, she
was radiantly beautiful at least, so
she seemed to my youthful eyes. But
the strangest part of it is yet to come.
Her long black hair was streaming over
her shoulders, so that I knew, be she
ghost or flesh, she was a woman. And
yet—mirabile dictu!—her attire was
that of a confederate officer.
"General, look, quick!"
"What is it?"
"The face at the window."
As I spoke the slats were turned.
"I see no face."
It was on the tip of my tongue to
tell him what I had seen, but if he
doubted my statement that I had seen
simply a face, how could I expect him
to believe that I had seen a girl dressed
in confederate uniform? Such an ap
parition could come only to a diseased
brain. For once prudence came to
me, Heaven knows how, and I re
frained.
"Perhaps I was mistaken," I said.
The general looked at me curiously,
but said nothing.
But what I had seen—if indeed it was
real—brought a horrible confirmation
The face at. the window.
against Margaret. She must be guilty
of all of which she was accused. Till
this moment I had hoped that this un
certain vision might be the real culprit
who would eventually relieve her of
blame. Since the distinct view I had
at last had of it, I knew that the child
like face I had seen could not belong
to man or woman capable of entering
an enemy's lines, making drawings of
his works, and traveling miles
muddy roads to transmit them to her
employer. Margaret, with her stronger
nature, might do all this, the young
girl at the window never. Margaret
had been stopped by us in the act of
carrying the plans. She had been in
terrupted by me in the attempt to burn
those plans. Finding herself foiled, she
had eagerly given her parole, only to
break it in order to transmit what in
formation she could to the confeder
ates. She was a desperate, treacherous
"woman without a conscience.
When I dismounted I found that I
had dug my spurs into my horse's
blanks with such force that the blood
ran in a triokling stream.
X.
A COMPACT.
The next day Margaret was tried,
the
court sitting in tlic very room where
the plans of Burnside's works hud been
taken from her. The prisoner was pale,
but self-possessed. The general was
not present. An oilicer read the charge
and specifications in the formal, chop
py manner usual to the reading of or
ders at dress parade. It set forth that
Margaret Beach did, on or ubout the
—th day of October, 1863, have in her
possession plans of the defenses of
Knoxville, Tenn., with the intent to
transmit them to the enemy, and, hav
ing given her parole not to escupe, had
visited tlie enemy's camp.
I, being cognizant of every event re
quiring proof, was the only witness
called for the prosecution, and Mar
garet made no defense. I testified to
having interrupted the burning of the
plans, the parole Margaret had given,
and her disappearance from the planta
tion. I intended to make the most of
lier having assisted me to escape, but
on describing my meeting with her in
the enemy's camp a sense of the
•enormity of her act swept over me with
such force that I hesitated, stammered,
and at last broke down, making it
plain that I was trying to convince the
•court of what I did not believe myself.
Margaret, being called upon to speak

cence in face tt Bttcn 'strong proor
against me."
In view of the evidence and the ab
sence of any defense, there was nothing
for the court to do but to find the pris
oner guilty. One circumstance only
was in her favor—her having assisted
me to escape, and her return to face
what must surely follow. But it was
suspected that I had found favor in her
eyes, and her return was explained on
the ground that, being a woman, she
believed she could come and go unpun
ished. When the case was closed the
officers composing the court with
drew, and after a brief consultation re
turned with a verdict of guilty.
The general sent, for me and asked
me to give him an account of the trial.
He made no comment on what I told
him. After an opxressive silence,
which he did not seem inclined to
break, partly to escape from the gloom
that overhung ,us both and partly to
divert his mind, I ventured upon the
military situation.
"Is there any hope, general, of our
reaching the railroad?"
"No they have cavalry enough to
patrol all the railroads in Tennessee."
"Why not send a spy?"
