won together. conscious that iu nil
probability wo wero watched by Iiob
tllo oyo, peering out from behind rock
and thlckot. Wo foraged through do
Burtod shacks. Ilndlng poor reward,
yet managed to subslBt, altliough with
hunger unsatisfied Tho men gram
bled and Vox sworo, hh, long before
night camo. ho comprehended tho fact
that wo woro on a fool'H errand; that
lila llttlo Bqtind waa being lured deeper
und deeper Into n hoHtllo country, but
no opportunity to turn aside present
ed llflolf. Tho night overtook us In
tho midst of n mountain Bolltudo. Tho
ncouts had discovered a spring nt tho
bottom of u rocky hollow, and there
Pox reluctantly ordered camp to bo
mndo, tho horses Ilndlng aennt pas
turngo beyond. Tho grumbling and
cursing Boon ceased, however, nnd
those not on duty slept lltfully. I
nmdo the round of tho sentries with
Vox, slipping nnd stumbling over tho
rough way, through tho darkness.
"Thin weird place gets on tho
norves," bo said, na If half ashamed of
tho confession. "Do vou knnw. Ilnv.
inond, I havo felt for tho last hour as
If wo woro riding Into Bomo trap." Ho
glanced nervously behind him. "I
donjt boltovo there has ever been a
Federal detuchment dowu as fnr as
UiIb boforo. WVro In old Ned Cowan's
country."
"Coufoderato?" I asked. Interested
at onco by tho name.
"Heaven knowBl To (ho best of my
belief tho fellow doesn't glvo a whoop
for either side. He's Just a natural
born devil and this wnr gnvo him a
chanco to get tho hell out or his sys
tem. Still, I gucsB. ho calls himself
a Rob."
"And IiIb followers?"
"Mountain men mostly, together
with a bunch of doscrters and con
scripts from both aides. Nobody
knowu how big n band ho has. but It
would tako an nrmy to run them out
of theBo mountnlns Wo had ordors
to do It but pllllol Itnmsay came
down na far as Payetto Court Houbo
with a regiment of Infantry, and a
cavalry guard, and sent out a Hag of
truoo asking tho old devil to come In
and Uilli with him. Ho actually did
comoj rodo right up to headquarters,
with a dozen of his ragged followers,
heard what UnmBiiy had to say, and
then oltnply told thu general to go to
hell, and rodo off again."
"Woro you thero7 Did you seo tho
men?"
"No, but tho sergeant did; ho wna
detullod at that time na headquarters'
orderly."
"yea," I said, determined on my
course. "I waa talking with llaydon
during tho noon halt, Ilo described
Cowan to me, nnd I bclluvo he la tho
sonio man I encountered nt Hot
Springs, Captnln Fox tho fellow Tay
lor wo aro In pursuit of."
Vbo captain stnrcd Into tho black
night, silent for Buvernl minutes.
"I've- been suspecting tho saino thing
for tho last three hours," he admitted
at lost Blowly, "and that he hoped wo
would follow him Tho fellow hasn't
rlddon fast, nnd 1ms purposely left a
plain trail. More than that tin wns
expected along this rend and there
wero relays of horses waiting. Ilo
only changed ouco, but ho wna mot by
another party near that ruined mill.
Ever Blnco then 1 have felt that wo
wero holng watched by uiiBecn eyes.
Did you obBcrvo tho curl of smoke to
our right Just before dark how It
roao and fell In rings?"
"I saw tho Btnoko, yea a thin spiral,
but supposed It to bo from the chim
ney of somo mountain shack."
"Weil, It was not. That wna an out

wrb cither tho culmination of a feud of tho overturned boxes. Unapi
lono for personal revenge or olso
tho major had papers In his posses
sion bearing on tho situation here that
could only bo gained over his dead
body. Tho man who killed hlra was
old Ned Cowan."
"Hut Hnrwood must havo known
him," I protested.
"Of courso ho did; thoy wore neigh
bora before tho wnr nnd mot there by
appointment. For all 1 know tho ma
jor may have had eomo confidential
communication from tho war depart
ment God knows what It was. All 1
MB sure about Is that I would give a
good deal to bo out of this fix right
now and twenty miles to tho north of
hero."
Wo Bat there for half an hour dis
cussing tho matter und endeavoring
to convince ourselves tho danger was
less thun wo linnglnod. There wns
nothing to ho done but wait for day
light. Finally Fox crept forth ngnln
to mako another round of the pickets,
to nssuro himself they wore alert, nnd
before ho returned I hnd fallen nsleep.
Tho chill of tho night nwoko mo.
cold nnd shivering. Thu wind hnd
nrlson and swept down tho funnel In
which I Iny with an ley breath ngnlnst
which my single hlnnket afforded no
protection. Tho man who had been
lying next mo waB gone, nnd so there
must havo been u chango of guard
whllo I slept. I could distinguish,
dimly outlined ngnlnst tho sky, tho
ovcrnnngmg rocK-wnii wuicn inciosuu
our camp, nnd tho dcepor ahado of a
cleft n yard or two to my left, where
tho dead trunk of n trcu stood liko
n gaunt, ugly sentinel.
As I Iny Btnrlng tho figure of n man
slipped out from behind Its protec
tion and, dropping on hands nnd
knees, crept forwnrtl across the open
space. Another nnd nnothcr followed,
mere ghnstllko shadows, scarcely ap
pearing real. For the Instant 1 doubt
ed my eyesight, imagined I dreamed.
Then, boforo I could rnlso volco In
nlarm, a rlllo spat viciously, tho red
flnmo of its discharge cleaving tho
night. A fusillade followed nnd In tho
Hiiro I caught grotesque glimpses of
men leaping forward, and there was
u confused yelling of voices, a din of
nolso.
I wns upon my knees, revolver In
hand, but In tho mclco below could
not distinguish friend from foe nllko
thoy woro a blur of figures, ono In
stant visible, tho next obscured. Yet
there could bo no doubt ns to tho final
ending of tho struggle Taken by sur
prise, outnumbered, tho llttlo squad of
troopers would bo crubhed, annihilat
ed. Nor was there reason why I
should sncrlllco myself In their defenso
n valueless sacrifice. My cholco waa
Instantly made, as there flashed to my
mind what my fate would bo It I
over fell Into Cowan's bunds attired In
Federal uniform.
On hands and knees I crept to tho
cleft In tho rock wall und began to
clatnbor up over the irregular rocks.
Tho shouts nnd yells, tho cries for
mercy, tho sound of blowB, grew faint
er and finally ceased altogether. Lean
ing back nnd looking down I could por
celvo nothing in tho black void. A
volco shouted an order, but It sounded
far off and Indistinct. I wns In a
nnrrow gully, tho lncllno less steep
than amid tho racks below, nnd could
perceive tho lighter canopy of tho sky
not far nbovo mo
As 1 crept out Into tho open space
Bomcono touched a match to n pile of
dry limbs In tho cove below, and tho
red llames leaped high, revealing tho
Bcene. I caught a glimpse of It
staring down as though I clung at tho
mouth of hell, seeing moving black
figures, and tho dark, motionless
shadows of dead men The ono
glimpso wan enough, tho fenrful
tragedy of It smiting mo like a blow,
nud 1 turned and ran, mumbling over
tho rough ground, my only thought
that of escape.
There wero Btara In the sky, their
dim light BUtllclent to leld somo faint
guldnnco. My courso led mo close
hesldu tho edge of tho rldgo Hero
tho ground fell away to tho banks of
a shallow stream and somo Instinct of
woodcraft led mo to wado down with
lto current for u couslderublo distance,
until tho icy water drovo mo to tho
bank once more. I knew 1 had cov
ered several miloa and was beyond pur
suit nnd Bufo from discovery. I re
mained there until dawn, tho first
gray light giving assurance that my
tlight had been to tho north nloug the
foothlllB. From tho rldgo top a wide
vista lay revealed of rough, seeming
ly uninhabited country, growing more
distinct as tho light strengthened
There was no house visible no sign of
any road; all nbout extended a rudo
mountain solitude, but to tho north
west there was a perceptiblo break In
tho chain of hills, ns though u pass led
down Into tho concealed vnlloy bo
yond. With this for guldanco I
plunged forward, eager to got out of
that drear wilderness.
It was considerably after tho noon
hour before 1 came upon u dismal
shack of logs In tho midst of a small
clearing. Tho light streaming in
through tho open door revealed that it
wns unoccupied Yet someone had
been there, nnd not so very long ago,
ono
Uuappctlz
presence. A few log huts appeared
along tho curving road, the one near
est mo In ruins, whllo a gaunt chim
ney beside a broad stream unbrldgnd
was all that remained of a former mill,
lleyond this, In midst of a grovo of
noble trees, a largo house, painted
white, wnB tho only conspicuous font
turo In tho landscape. 1 recognized
It nt once as tho rcsldenco of Major
Ilnrwood.
.My gazo rested upn It, ns memory
or tho man, and his fate, surged fresh
ly back into mind. Tho placo had
been spared destruction; it remained
unchanged but from that distanco It
ha4 tho nppcarauco of desertion. This
condition was no particular surprise,
for llarwood's daughter, senrcoly more
thnn n girl to my remembrance, would
doubtless bo with friends, either In
Lowlsburg or Charleston; and that
tho mansion, thus deserted, still ro
malncd undestroyed was, after all, not
bo strange, for tho mnjor's standing
throughout that section would protect
hla property.
I moved on down tho steep descent,
losing sight of tho house n3 tho rand
twisted about tho hill, although mem
ory of It did not desert my mind. Somo
odd Inclination seemed to impel mo to
turn aside and study the situation
there mora closely. Possibly Borne
key to tho mystery or Hiirwood's mur
der some connection betweou htm
and old Ned Cowan might bo ro
vented In a search or thu deserted
home. Fox had said that his party
halted at tho houao on their inarch
east toward Hot Springs. Somo scrap
or paper might havo been left behind
In the hurry or departure, which would
yield mo a cluo. If not UiIb, then
there might bo other papers stored
there relating to military affairs In
this section of vnluo to tho Confed
eracy. Hnrwood wns tho undoubted
leader of tho Union sympathizers
throughout tho entire region; ho
would have lists of names, und memo
randa or meetings, containing Infor
mation which would help mo greatly
In my quest. An exploration could
not be a matter of any great danger,
nnd might yield mo tho very knowl
edge I Bought
Tho grant houso loomed before mo
blnck and silent. If 1 had over ques
tioned Its desertion Its appearanco
lulled every such suspicion. Nor had
It escaped unscathed from tho despo
liation or war. At a distance, gazing
from tho sldo of tho mountain, I could
perceive no chango. Put now, close at
hand, even tho Intcnso darkness could
not hide tho scars left by vandals.
Tho front stops were broken, tho door
saucer, a half loaf ot oicnd. with a
slice cut, part of a ham bono, with
considerable meat remaining un
touched, and a small china teapot
For an Instant the unexpected sight
of theso articles fascinated me, and
then my eyes caught a dull glow in
tho fireplace nt tho opposite end ot
tho room tho red gleam of a live
ember.
Tho Bhock of this discovery was ao
sudden as to give mo a strange,
hnuntcd feeling. Tho house had
seemed bo completely deserted, bo
desolate, wrapped In allenco nnd dark
ness, that the very conception that
someono else was hiding thcro camo
upon mo liko a blow. Who could tho
person bo? Well, 1 would find out.
Thus fnr tho ndvantngo was mine, for
I know of another presence, while tho
follow, whoever ho might prove to bo,
In all probability possessed no knowl
edge of my entrance.
My heart beat fnst, but from exclto
ment, not fear. With cocked revolver
In one hnnd. tho lamp in tho other, I
silently opened door attor door, peor
lug Into vacant apartments, hair
thinking every shadow to bo a skulk
ing figure. Tho search revealed noth
ing; not even further evidence of any
presence In tho house. Tho kitchen
lire was cold, tho conking utensils
clean, and in their proper places.
Satisfied nlrcndy that tho mysteri
ous Invader had departed, yot sternly
determined now to explore tho whole
house, nnd huv dono with tho busi
ness, I mounted tho back stairway, a
strip of rag carpet rendering my steps
silent, and, with head uhovo the land
ing, flashed my light cautiously along
the upper hall. There were doors on
either side, tho most of them open,
but tho third to tho left wns closed.
There wns no transom over It, but tho
door wna far enough nwny rrom tho
rndlUB or my lump bo as to reveal n
rnlnt glow or light nt tho floor lino I
set tho lamp down on the landing, and
crept noiselessly forward to ussuro
myself; It was truo. a light was burn
ing within the closed door.

Just boforo sundown 1 omerged from

It w as a, scouo to linger In tho mem

where I was, recognizing tho familiar
objects outspread before me. Lewis

tho windows to tho right wero
smashed In, sash and all, leaving a
wldo opening. 1 crept forward, and
endeavored to peer through, but tho
darkness within was opaque I was
wet through, chilled to thu bone, my
uniform clinging to mo like soaked

shelter from the storm, a chance for

And I had nothing to fear but darkness.
My revolver was under the flap of
my cavalry Jacket, dry and ready for

easy grip, and stopped over tho sill.
My feet touched carpet, Uttered with
broken glnss, nnd I felt about cau

straight through from front door to
