XIX. A STRANGE MEETING. were taken into the houBe and led upstairs. The officer in charge, after inspecting several rooms and no ticing that the one in which I had my self previously confined Margaret was the best preparod ior her reception, put her in it. Leaving a sentry at the door, he took me to & chamber in the rear and left me, also with a guard out side. Sitting down on a choir, resting my arms on its buck and my chin on my arms, I fell into a troubled meditation. I was not thinking of myself, for, con scious of innocence, I feared nothing. Had 1 been older I would have known that innocence docs not alone consti tute a valid defense. I regarded the situation as a huge mistake. But what an unfortunate one! Margaret and I had brought information, which, if act ed upon at once, would lead to impor tant advantages to the union cause, save her and any mysterious person or per sons with whom sho might be allied, and place the general, guilty or cot guilty, where his enemies could not strike him. And now, at the culmina tion of these happy results, the whole advantage must needs be aborted by the spite of that marble-faced, red-headed, cowardly sneak, Mellodew. The thought that troubled me most was that Margaret's life was in imminent danger. If I could only see Margaret, we might together find some means to thwart our enemy. Eemembering thut she was confined in a room with a trap leading through the ceiling, it occurred to me that if I could reach the roof I might gain access to her. Going to the window, I threw up the sash and madu a hasty survey of my position. I was three stories above ground, a wooden cornice over my head, while at my right was a two-story extension. I resolved to make the attempt. Clos ing the sash, I turned my attention to wbat there might be in the room to assist me. Tho only implement that could pos sibly be of use was an iron poker but I soon perceived that a poker was not to be despised, for it stood beside & grate containing coal and kindling ready to light, and I at once connected the two in possible benefit. It oc currcd to me to make a hook of the poker, with which to gain a hold on the cornice, and a rope of the bed clotlics, by which to climb to the roof. Cutting a blanket into strips, I made a rope strong enough to bear my weight, and, lighting the fire, inserted the poker at the middle, softened it and bent it into a hook. Fortunately, at the other end was a ring which to tie my rope. Soon after "taps" I prepared to put my plan into execution. The house was surrounded by four sentries, and from my window I could see and be seen by two of them as they approached the angle at which their beats joined. My attempt must be made when tliey were both out of sight, but they were un-i sociable fellows, and much to my cha grin paced so that one was always in view of my window. I conceived a. plan for bringing them together, and looked about my room for some object to assist me in carrying it out. Seeing china image on the mantel, I seised It TAD im,r throe It with ROOD MI AIML, cP by J. P. LIpplmcoM tnnt it ngntea near tai sngm. of the lentries heard It strike behind him, but, after glancing back, oontin ued his beat. When he returned he saw the image, picked it up, examined it, wondered, stared about him, and called to his colleague to ask where it had come from. They at once arranged to meet and talk it over. Leaving the anglo, they passed out of view at the same time. I made several attempts to catch my hook on the cornice, having time only to make one attempt while the sen tries were out of view. At the third throw the hook caught, and at the sentries' next disappearance I grasped my rope, gave a sharp test pull, then, dangling, Bwayed myself back and forth till I got one foot over the coping of the extension, and in a twinkling was lying flat on the roof, holding fast all the while to my rope. Than fal lowed several attempt* to dlilodgamy hook, but at last I had it 1B my lutsds and soon after secured directly above me. In another moment I stood an the roof of the main building. loos .ced The waning moon had risen, bat the character of the roof, sloping to the center, protected me from being seen by anyone in the yard as I walked to the trap. I was in more doubt how to proceed from this point than alnee had begun the execution of my plan, In the first place, is a serious Matter for a young man to rap for entreeoe nt a lady'B chamber after she has sup posedly gone to bed.

"Margaret, some one is with yea. heard whispering." She was silent a few moments, thi said: "Will you keep a secret?" "I will." "It might conflict with your duty. "Margaret, my having heard tha whispers will conflict with my duty much as if 1 had your entire confidence. Let me bo the judge of what.I ought to do, with a full knowledge of all then mysteries." "Wait." She descended the steps, and for sev eral minutes I heard whispers, but not a word of what was said then she cams back and told me to raise the trap noise lessly and come down. I did' so, aad Margaret led me to the window, through which shone the moon, and by its pale light I saw on either side of the casement a boy and a girL Neither could have been over 17, aad their features were cast in the mould. I looked wonderlngly from one to the other, for in each I peroetvad that apparition which had haunted me —the face at the window. The girl she I had seen in confederate uniform. "This is my brother Harold/' Mar garet whispered, "and this is my sister Georgia. They are twins. Harold, this is Lieut. HalL We are in his hands, lie may keep our secret or inform on UB, aa he chooses." Georgia's eyes were, turned on mine with a deep pleading as ahe said: "You won't betray Harold, wiU you?" I could only stand stupidly tongue tied in presence of her bewitching face. Margaret did not leave me long to feast iny eyes on her sister's beauty, taking me aside to whisper briefly such planations as were neeessary. Bhe told me that Harold and Georgia had both come to her through the trap, having gained the roof, Harold from an un used chimney opening into the room in which he waa hiding, Georgia through broken skylight. Then she gave me the main points of her story from the first. Harold Beach had been induoed by confederate officer much older than himself to go with him in disguise into the union lines at Knoxville tor the purpose of making a drawing of the defenses. Having completed the work, the officer shifted the plan from him self to Harold, both succeeded separ ately in leaving Knoxville, and Htrold, resuming his uniform, waa ma!dng bis way southward when he was taken ilL Being near home, he sought refuge with his mother and sis tan, reaching th. plantation butafewmUttteebetoie IR 1T11 IN TI MR MI MMIOTI O»L A a a Wr-miiimmmmmmm MITCHEl. first knowledge die had of his presence was seeing Us faoe at the window. Hearing a searching party coming up the stairs, Harold escaped through the trap, climbed down a brick chim ney, and, dodging between rooms be low, easily avoided searchers who had not his intimate knowledge of the house. That night Margaret per suaded Harold to permit her to burn the plan, whieh, if discovered on him, would prove him a spy. Bhe hsd gone to the kitchen to put it in the stove when eaught her. Learning that the of floer who had made tho drawing was in the neighborhood in command of a confederate force, she eagerly accepted my proposition of a parole and at once went to inform him of her brother's and her own peril, an act which did not directly involve the breaking of her promise. I Interrupted Margaret's narrative at his point to exclaim: "Maj. Beraal Berante?" "Yes." Bernate made magnificent promisee which he never performed. Georgia onceived the idea of putting on Har old'a uniform and confessing that she was the rsal culprit. She had donned the uniform and taken down her hait lo cut it «l when I saw her at the win- Margaret, entering the room at the moment, stopped the sacrifioe. Meanwhile the general kept aueh stdet guard about the house that Har old, though his sister watched every opportunity, waa unable to make an Margaret stesdfastly main tained her secret, aad stood between him aad death. Then followed her trial, our expedition to the cave, and tha subsequent events. Tha unraveling of this mystery was great relief to me, though I was obliged to oonfess to myself that the danger threatening this unfortunate family waa not a whit lessened by the newly acquired knowledge. I had come to consult with Margaret, but there was something in the person of Georgia—a delicate oval face, liquid black eyeB, and above all a confiding, hopeful smile with whteh she greeted me—that drove pluming out of my head. Margaret soon pcreeived that if the object for which I had aome waa to be accom plished she must withdraw my atten tion from her slates. "What do you propose?" she asked. "What do yon suggeat?" I replied. "With Harold penned up in thia house a can do nothing. Were he safely away, 1 might make a clean breast of the matter to the general, as I have to But no it would appear that I inventing a story about Harold— that there waa aa such person, or if these ware, that was using him to bear my tardea." "But I—" "Would not be believed either.' "Your mother end sister?" "Are too near to me their evidence would not count." "Is there no other?" 4 "Yea, one, but he could not be reached." "MaJ. Berante?" "Maj. Berante." 4 "In a matter of life and death he might be brought in under flag of truce." "To confess that he has been a spy?" "Certainly, if protected by the flag. Margaret thought a moment and then "Bat all this is useless talk, for Harold Is here and cannot get away.' "He must get away!" I exclaimed, for getting eaution in my intensity, and •peaking aloud. Margaret clapped her hand over my mouth, aad I knew I had blundered. We hear^ the sentry come and atand by the door, evidently listening. 1 seized a hand of each girl and we stood mute* waiting, our eyea fixed in terror on Harold. If the sentry opened the door, he was lost. The man listened a few minutes, then stepped to the head of the stairway. "Corporal of the guard!" he called, "Corporal of the guard!" sounded an other voice, faintly, downstairs. "Corporal of the guard 1" camo through the windowa from the yard be low, likevthe last of successive echoes. Margaret whispered to Harold to goj and motioned to me to follow. But I, annoyed at having the interview so summarily interrupted, especially at leaving Georgia, and calculating that 1 would have A few minutes before the arrival of the oorporal, loitered. "Go," said Margaret "and you, too, Georgia." "We have made no plans," I protested, "Too late. Go there la a step on the gallery below." 8he pushed me to the ladder. "Harold must escape," I whispered, aa I ascended. "He cant," moaned Georgia, who was mounting behind me. never was a good hand to untie knots. I must always cut them. I re solved to cut this knot, if in doing so I tied a hangman's noose under my ear. I leaned down and whispered:. "I will help him.- If js'of.-V- 1 THE TABLES TURNED. W. bad icarcely got through During this period of suspense I knew nothing except that we were in jeop ardy. When it was over, what was my astonishment to find my arms around Georgia, holding her to me as if our safety depended upon the tightness of my grip. I would have continued in the same position for an Indefinite period —for it wail not unpleasant, and my modesty, aa I have before stated, was by no meana of th. first order—but Georgia, recollecting herself with the disappearance of immediate danger, withdrew from my embrac*. Then, in stead of hastening to my room, I dal lied. Georgia was wild, as she had been from the first, about her brother's crit ical condition, and I as eager to reas sure her. "He will be eaught yet," she moaned. "Not a bit of it. I'm going to help him to escape, if I am shot for it." "That would bo only giving your life for his." "But mine isn't worth anything—at least, to yon and his is very dear to yon." 8he did not reply to this, and I launched forth In a number of wild schemes for Harold'a escape that could only have emanated from the brain of a beardless boy who had suddenly be come enamored. I was sowing the wind, giving my keepers time to get on soy track. I knew nothing but Georgia and my impossible devioea in behalf of her brother, till suddenly, noticing a stirring in the yard below, unusual after "taps," I led Georgia to her sky light, aaw her safely through, then, go- •mr:' the extension and waited for the sen tries to be out of view. Then, securing my hook .to the cornicc directly above my room, I swuntr m.vself clear. Vi brating once, twice—crack, and down I went. Some one eaught ine in ltis arms, staggered, but kept liis legs. I turned my head, and looked into the face of—the general. He put me down and stood staring at me. I behaved better on this occasion than ever before when he had me at a disadvantage. "A fine night, general," I said, quite calmly. 'Just the night for 'sighing and singing under Bonnybel's window panes,' he quoted from a favorite bal lad. "Or dangling before one's own win dow-panes," I suggested. 'When yon are older yon will not care to risk your heart, your honor, and your neck in such escapades. Then you'll know a boy is an uss. Come with me." He led me to his tent, where lie threw himself on his back on his eamp cot. He looked worn and weary. I stood waiting for him to proceed with a catechism which I naturally expected. You are infatuated with a woman,' he said, "and are on tha-verge of ruin ing your career." "What woman?" "Margaret Beach." "Would you mind telling me, general, how you know that?" "It is plain as day. I make a truce with Miss Beach that she may lead you to a point where you can watch the enemy. No enemy passes. To save her and some confederate, perhaps, hidden on these premises, you return and make a false report. Would you do this were you not in love with her?" 1 wouldn't do It in any event," I plied. "I have written evidence." "Written evidence! What do you mean, general?" "You will know in time. I am not go ing to attempt to draw from you what you have been up to to-night if you «sr« to uuikii a c'.cau breast of it, do so otharwlse 1 wii! e.:ll the guard arrl send you back to your chamber. And I will take care that you don't dangle again before your window, or the win dow of anyone else." It Beemed fully five minutes before either of us spoke again, the general leaving me to make up my mind, I con sidering what to do. At last I started to speak, but checked myself. "Out with it." "General, do you know one Bernal Uerante?" I studied his face to note the effect of my words. For my life I could de tect no change, no emotion. "I do." "Did you ever write a letter to the mayor of in Texas, offering to surrender your command for a consid eration?" •Well?" TO BE CONTINUED. *100 Reward $100.
