We three stood breathless, waiting
developments. Bullets began to sing
by our ears and spit against the trees.
The confederates flew to arms. At the
front we could discover the dark forma
of horsemen charging.

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

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

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

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.

facts I had learned.
"The rebel camp we were In,*' I said,

about two miles from the river. Wc

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

"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

nothing. When I go back there I'll be
somebody different from what I am.
There was no time for debate. Mar

stern. I began to pull up the stream.
"Good-by, I said to Flunk. "I hope
you won't have to tell many lies."

corporal, "how y' kin ruckencile yer

"Oh, go on." And I pulled eut of

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?* ,'

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.

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.
