The confederates flew to arms. At the front we could discover the dark forma of horsemen charging. "Look!" The word came from Margaret, who Bpoke in atone so unusual to her that 1 glanced quickly at her before follow ing the direction of her eyes. She was quivering with excitement. Then turucd to see what moved her. At that moment the cloudsparted,and,through an opening in the trees, a figure stood out plainly in the moonlight, pointing with his sword to the confederate lin£ Then the horse plunged forward, bear* ing his rider out of sight, "The generall" We all spoke the words simultaneous ly. Had he been watching for our re turn, and, knowing of our presence in the confederate camp, made the attack in order to free us? Or was he acting from some purpose of his own? Whatever his intention, we started at once to take advantage of the situation. Plunk and I, with a common Impulse, darted to where the horses were tethered, and, mounting Margaret, jumped to the saddle. The Intervening confederates prevented our reaching our own men, so we dashed through the trees in a direction opposite to the fighting. Coming to a road, we fol lowed it, and the turmoil behind us gradually died into a faint din. Thai we drew rein for consultation. XVL A RACE AGAINST TIME. Burning with suspicion at Margaret** confidential interview with the confed erate oflioer, I was bent rather on spending valuable time in crimination than in working out the most promis ing method of making good our escape. "Margaret," I cried, "what did yon say to Col. Archard?' "I told him something that would hava passed us through his lines had it not been for this interruption.'" "Oh, Margaret, you are on all sides." She cast an impatient glance at me, and, disdaining to reply, turned t6 Plunk and began to deliberate with him as to what course we had better pursue a deliberation in which I could not choose but take part. Should we attempt to join the gener al? Margaret and 1 were both In favor of doing so, but Plunk overruled us, saying that the general had doubtless been persevering in his endeavors to get near the railroad, and had at tacked the camp in order to give an opportunity to some other corpB of his men to slip by and accomplish his ob jeot that he had no expectation of crushing the enemy, only to distract his attention, and, this effected, he would be off to some other point. We had but little time to listen to Plunk's explanation of the general's movements, for we heard the sound of horses* hoofs oomlng from the direction we had been pursuing, and in a few minutes some SO horsemen came trot ting leisurely toward us. By the light alike moon was easy to tee thai A?7 V, rPi A 1 ip§PW TCHEl. SpSBf s®w ,w"* Vn? ficer whom, even In the tllm light, was horrified at recognizing aa Maj. Bernal Berante. It was a critical moment. If he recognized me, not only would all we had gained he lost, but our citizen's dress would enable him to swing Plunk and me from the branch of a tree with out trial or benefit of clergy. Margaret, who rode a little in advance, turned her head as she passed him. "How far to Col. Archard's camp?" he asked. "Beckon you'll find the picket about a mile above yo\" replied Plunk, imitat ing the southern accent. Margaret had ridden on, I was keep ing as far from Berante as possible. "Where are you going?" asked the major, regarding me intently. What should I do? If I spoke he would recognize my voice. As before I remained silent and Plunk broke in to helpme out. "There's no use aakln* him any ques tions," he said, "lie's deaf aa a ferry boat." Plunk's odd oomparison probably saved my life. Berante showed his .pointed teeth in a smile, and rode on, followed by his escort. I breathed one long sigh of relief, and, riding up to Plunk, threw my arms about him in an ecstasy. Then we rode on and rejoined Margaret. "Did you recognise a friend?" I asked of Margaret. "Hark!" There were sounds of more horses coming. Simultaneously we made for the cover of trees beside the road. Three horsemen trotted towards us and passed within a dozen yards. Two were confederate cavalrymen, the third —great heavensl the third was Enoch Mellodew. .jlspers She rr" and ie a ting to ray to jol starts to Not a word was spoken till the men were out of earshot then I exclaimed: 'Margaret, wait here while Plunk and I go after that traitor. We can dash in on them from the rear, separate them, and easily capture Mellodew." "You will do no such thing," said Margaret. "What importance is Mel lodew compared with the information we bear?" "The young lady is right, lieutenant,' said Plunk. "We can't stop to chase him now. We need to do the running ourselves. When the general with draws they will remember us. Then comes this officer who has half sus pected us, tells where we are, and they light out after UB. He lifts his hat with all the grace of the truly polished southern gentleman. Hark! There was a distant sound of horses' hoofs, but so indistinot that I was about concluding I was mistaken when 1 heard a sudden turmoil on the outer limit the camp, with shots, indi cating a sudden attack. The colonel called for his horse, mounted and rode to the front. If I can only git you and the girl across the river, I'll see what I can do towards callin' on Enoch and remindin' him which side he belongs on. Git up, George Henry.1 And he dug his spurs into his horse's flanks. All realized that we must now place distance between us and the confed* crates. I spurred on, striking Mar garet's horse with the palm of my hand, sending him with a jump In advance of both Plunk and myself. Oh, Time, atop your clocks for every one but us! We rode three abreast, Margaret In the center, without a word. Trees, fences, barns, fields, all sailed by us as we galloped onward. Looking up to the sky, there was the same swift motion, for thin clouds, with here and there a black one, were sailing over the disk of the moon. Our faces were ex pressive of our characters. Mine, I am Bure, wore a look of exhilaration, for I felt all the excitement of a race a race In which life was the prize sad death the forfeit. Plunk's was stolid as usual. As for Margaret, I caught glimpses of her face whenever a cloud left the moon, and marked a serenity and intensity that I have never seen combined before or since. It expressed a faith, a hope, that she would complete a great purpose. Was It carrying the newB of Longstreet's move? Was it In divulging our intentions to the con federates? Had she not already told all to Col. Archard? Or was it in some wav connected with the events which had occurred during the first few days of our meeting—the face at the win dow? I know now then I could only wonder. "Where the devil are we going?'* Plunk suddenly called. "Don't know," I panted. "I see a light," said Margaret. "Better ask the way," said Plunk. "I'll dismount and try for informa tion." "I'll do that myself," I sold. MI MVm "The river." "Good crossing?" "Good crossin'?" "Yes Is there abridge or a ford?T "You *uns kin ford It, I reckon.": Id Th. woman wu right. "Any road north on the otl^cr ilda?" "Any road no'th?" "Yes. Drop your parrot btuincas and talk quick." "No road runnin' no'th. This road run* down't Thatcher's. Thur's noth in' but hills goln' no'th." I antarad tha cabin, took out my map, and hald it to tha light. The "woman waa right) alter •roaaing tha that* waa ae read landing *s*kmr" "How high?** "Yes, how nigh? You're mighty par ticular about your English." "Three miles.** I went out, mounted, and we ail rode on while I Informed the others of the facts I had learned. "The rebel camp we were In,*' I said, 1 near McCormick's mills, and that's about two miles from the river. Wc must be very near the ford. If we ean cross, we can keep on this road to Thatcher's, and then up Opossum oreek to the main road leading north to the plantation." "It's purtv hard travelin' In a ereelt," suggested Plunk. "We are wasting time," I said, giving my horse a spur. "Never mind what we are going to do till we get to the river." We pushed on with renewed vigor. The many night rides I had ta^en with the general when he was trying to get his command away from an overwhelm ing force came up before mc I could see him throwing back his head to get a look at hiB favorite star. Though we were galloping, I could not resist the temptation to look up. There in the zenith, peering down at us like an eye in the heavenly dome, was Alpha Lyra. "Look, Margaret," I cried. "There is the general's star." She threw back her head just aa I had seen the general do. There was that In the motion which seemed In some mysterious way to link his being with hers. But my attention was di verted, for just then, swinging around a bend, we came upon the ford. The road sloped gradually down to the river, which flowed by as lazily as if no one was In any hurry whatever, "Now, Bee here," I said with a cer tain composure that would occasion ally surprise me by breaking the rapid current of impulse within me, "we must lay a plan. It won't do to go blind any further. What do you propose, cor poral?" "You and the young lady git over The river, find a nigger's cabin, and hide till to-morrow night. "That's your plan MIBS Plunk went off on his search with more speed than I had ever before seen in his deliberate person. Margaret wished to dismount, and I helped her to the ground, tied her horse to a sap ling, and started on my hunt up the river. I followed the high bank, look ing down on the margin as I wentalong, but used up my ten minutes without success. Turning reluctantly, I start ed back to the ford hoping that Plunk had had better luck. On the way I espied a path leading down to the river that had escaped my notice on my way out following it to the brink, there in little cove partly hidden amongbushes was a rickety fiat-bottomed punt, fas tened to a tree by a chain and pad look. I smashed the padlock with a stone, then began to look about for the oars, which I felt must be near, and found a couple of short paddles leaning up against a tree. Getting Into the punt, I shoved off shore, and a few strokes, aided by the ourrent, took me down to the ford. Margaret was on the shore waiting, and was overjoyed to see me pulling a boat, for Plunk had returned a few moments before empty handed. He loosened his horse, and mounting, rode down to the river to let the tired beast drink. "What are you doing?*' I asked, sur prised. "I'm going back after that flour faced deserter.*' "You'll be captured." "Never youmind,lieutenant,Ihaven't scouted eVer since this war began for nothing. When I go back there I'll be somebody different from what I am. There was no time for debate. Mar garet was In the boat, seated in the stern. I began to pull up the stream. "Good-by, I said to Flunk. "I hope you won't have to tell many lies." "I can't see, lieutenant," called tha corporal, "how y' kin ruckencile yer consclanoa to takln' another man's boat" "Oh, go on." And I pulled eut of hearing. want to have a look at my map." We were moving so fast that reached the light—it was in a log hut —almost before we had finished our talk. I jumped from my horse and ran to the door. Once there, I waited a moment to catch my breath so as not to excite suspicion, then knocked. The door was opened by an old woman. "Can you tell me where this road leads to?" "Whar *t leads to?* ,' XVH. RIVER FLIGHT. There waa no rudder to the boat, but in the bottom we found a barrel stave which answered the purpose. With this Margaret steered and kept a sharp lookout ahead, while I paddled up the river. The moonlight shone on her face, strove to get in among her tresses, kissed her forehead, her lips while above her the shimmer of the rippling water seemed to my ardent imagina tion the gold braid upon her robe. "Harkf" she exclaimed. I ceased to row, we both listened and heard a splashing at the ford be low. We knew it was the sound of horses in water. "Muffle the oars." Tearing oil pieces of our olothing, wa made mufflers then I gave way, and we shot up the river, I putting in all mv strength, Margaret again keeping a lookout ahead. Suddenly ahe turned the boat into the mouth of a creek. "There is a boat coming down," she gasped. I pulled up by the shore and waited under the shadow of the trees, and in a few minutes the boat waa opposite the mouth of the creek. There were three men in it, two pulling, and on* In the stern who appeared to hold tiller ropes. I could not distinguish the dress of the oarsmen, but the moon glistened on tha gold-laced ouffs of the man in the stern, and I knew he waa a confederate officer. Never in my life have I kepi so still. It seemed that my very breathing weald betray ua. Charon in hia boat on tha Itji could net have been more terrible to departing soul* than was the man sitting in the stern of yonder skiff to me. The boat seems to stop, or at least to 1 go at a snail's pace. They are tnrning —to search the mouth of the oreek. No, it is my imagination there is the stern of the boat, and the officer's back full towards me. The sound grows fainter. I draw a long breath. What's that? Listen! Anew danger. Thuak-tkaakl Thunk-thunkl Oreat I sklfi hall ffie one aproachtng. ttitrfe was a parley we could hear them talk ing, but not what they said. After a short conference they separated, one continuing down, the other coming up the river. The latter made slow head way, the oarsmen now and again ocas ing to row. "They are searching the shore," said Margaret. "Pull farther up the oreek." I gave a dozen strokes with a long sweep to each, which sent us around a bend and right under overhanging bushes. The approaching boat turned into the oreek as we expected, but came up only a short distance from the mouth. We heard one of them say something about the west shore being nearer the mark, whereupon they left the creek. Pulling out after them cautiously, we saw them making for the other side of the river. I rowed on up, skulking along the east bank, Bcreened occasionally by overhanging treeB. The boat ahead of us searched the weBt bank for awhile then we heard no more of it. We felt no immediate apprehension till Mar* garet, who knew the river well, si that we were approaching a ferry. Be lieving It would be watched, we dreaded to attempt to pass It, and paused under the branches of a tree for consultation. "TO m-: CONTINUED.
