CHAPTER XIX Continued.
This gavo mo Inspiration, nnd bo
foro tho speaker's BUllon growl had
wholly ccaood I was again upon hands
and knoos, silently groping my way
along tho bank toward tho roar ot tho
hut. It proved to bo n tiny structure
containing but a slnglo room prob
ably a mora fisherman's shack, with
out windows, but possessing n door
nt olthor ond. Mooting no opposition
1 cropt within, where I folt some
what snfor from ohsorvntlon, and then
peered warily forth Into tho darkness
cxtondlng botweon It and tho river.
Tho plckot-ropo stretched from ono
corner of tho hut, whero It Boomed to
bo socurod around tho ond ot n pro
jecting log, out Into tho night, evi
dently finding Its other terminus nt a
big troo whoso spreading top I could
dimly porcolvo shadowed against tho
sky. Along it woro tothorod tho
horses, a fow lmpatlontly champing
their bits and pounding with their
hoofs on tho tramplod ground, but tho
majority resting qulotly, tholr hoadB
hanging sleepily down. Tho ono nonr
est mo appoarod a finely proportioned
animal of a dark color, and wna
equipped with both saddlo and bridle.
Of tho Boldlor In char go I could dis
tinguish nothing doubtless ho was
lounging on his buck, half asloop upon
some soft patch of grass.
I turned when it suddenly occurred
to mo that tho dosortod hut might
contain something I could uso to ad
vantage a firearm, pornaps, or ovon
u stray box of matches. I folt about
mo cautiously, creeping along tho
hard earthen floor until I had nearly
reached tho oppoulto ontruncc. Tho
light from tho flro without loapod up,
and It glow rovoalud a saddle, with
leather holstor attached, hanging to
a nail Just within tho doorway. Mov
ing nolsolossly I managod to extract a
revolver, but could dlBOOvor no cart
ridges. 1 wns yet fumbling in tho holstor
pockot whon tho lieutenant roso from
hlB Boat without, knocked tho nshoB
from hla pipe, yawned sloeplly, stand
ing dlrootly botweon mo nnd tho llro,
and then, turning sharply, walked
slowly into tho opon door ot tho hut
1 sprang to my foot, or ho would cor
talnly have Btoppod upon mo, and bo
foro he could ro&llzo tho situation 1
had him by tho collar, with tho cold
muzzle ef my stolon revolver pressed
hard against bis chook.
"A slnglo word or sound, and I
Urol" I raid Bternly.
I have no recollection of over bco
ing any one moro completely as
toundod. Ho gasped llko a fish uowly
landod, and I doubt it ho could hnvo
made uttoranco evon had ho darod,
"Come in a llttlo farther," I com
manded. "Now look horo, Lloutennnt,
you do ox&ctly as I toll you and .you
will get out of thin affair with a wholo
Bkln; othorwlso well, I'm playing
this game to tho limit. Now nnswor
me: How many men hnvo you mount
ed this Bldo tho ford?"
He glared at roo sullenly, and 1
drew back tho hammer with an omin
ous click, oycing him fiercely.
"Well." I said ahortly, "do you
choose to anBWor, or dlo7"
"Two."
"On tho other bank?" '
"None."
"Lieutenant," I enld, spoaklng low,
but In a touo which loft no doubt as to
my exact meaning, "I nm an escapod
prisoner, and Bhall not hcBitato to kill
rather than bo recaptured. It Is your
llfo or mlno tonight, nnd I naturally
prefer my own; but I'll glvo you ono
cbanco, and only ono oboy my ordoru
and I will loavo you horo unhurt; dls

"Handloy."
"Order him to tako ton mon on foot

"Handle," he called out, his voice

from mo."
I could plainly noto the dark shad
ows of tho follows as thoy filed out
paat tho flro, but I never ventured to
tako oyo or gun off tho man I watchod.
"How many romaln thoro now7"
"Seven."
"Any non-com. among thom7"
"A corporal."
"Hnvo him tako them all south on
tho cross-roads."
"Jones," ho called out huskily.
"Yes, sir."
"Tako what men you havo loft a
hundred yards south on tho cross
road." Wo could hear them crunching
their way through tho bushes, until
tho sound finally dtod out in tho dis
tance. "Now, Lloutennnt, you como with
mo softly, and keep your distance."
Wo moved back slowly, Btep by stop,
until wo camo to tho rear door ot tho
shed. I roached out Into tho darkness,
but without turning my faco away
from him, and silently severed the
plckot-ropo, retaining tho loosened
end In my grasp. It was so lntensoly
dark whero wo stood that I slipped tho
pistol unobserved into my bolt
"Faco to tho rear," I said Bternly.
Ah ho turned to obey this order,
with quick movoment I tripped him,
sprang backward, and shut tho door.
In a slnglo bound I was upon tho
back of tho black, and had flung tho
sovorcd ropo's end at tho flank of tho
next horso In lino. Thoro was a rush
of foot, a sharp snapping of cords, a
wild scurrying through tho bushes, as
twenty frlghtenod horses stampeded
up tho bank, and then, lying faco
down ovor tho saddlo pommel, I sent
the startled black crashing down Into
tho shallows of tho ford. Tho follow
o.i guard tried his best to stop us,
but wo were past him llko tho wind.
Ho did not flro, and doubtless In tho
dnrkness saw moroly a stray horso
broken from tho plckot-ropo. Tho oth
er follow took ono swift shot, but it
wont wild, nnd I hoard tho volco of
tho enraged lieutenant damning In tho
distance. Thon with a rush wo went
up tho stoop bank on tho eastern
shore, and I sat upright In tho saddlo
and gave tho black his rein.
CHAPTER XX.
A Demon on Horseback.
I folt positively happy then. Tho
thrill of successful achievement wbb
mlno, and with the exultation of u
soldier in having surmounted ob
stacles and peril, I noarly forgot for
tho momont tho heart tragody loft bo
hind. Tho swift Impetus of tho ride,
tho keon night nlr swooping past mo,
tho frosh sonso of freedom and power
engendered by that reckless dash
through tho darkness, all conspired to
rondor mo neglectful of everything
savo tho Joy of present victory. Tho
spirit of wild ndvonturo was In ray
blood.
A dozen spits of flro cloaved tho In
tonso blackness behind, and I know
tho wldoly scattered patrol woro send
ing chanco shots across tho stream.
A clang of hoofs rang out upon tho
rocks, but I could distinguish noth
ing Indicating a largo pursuing party
probably the two who woro mounted
at tho ford, with possibly othors fol
lowing whon thoy caught their strayed
horses. 1 had llttlo to four from such
half-hearted pursuit as this was suro
to bo. Tho swift, poworful strldo of
the animal I rodo assurod mo that I
was not HI mounted, and thoro was
snmll chanco of contact with Federal
outriders beforo I should reach tho

dorod what plausible story tho dis
comfited lieutenant would concoct to

whether the othors had yet missed me
back at tho Mansion Houso.
Tho stars appeared to bo paling
somewhat down In tho cast, for tho
coming day-dawn wna already whlton

watch, venturing to .strike a match
for tho purposo, and found tho hour
after three o'clock. Early, I knew,

vanco cavalry plckots ought to bo as
far west as tho Warrontown road.
Tho distance between, by hard riding,
might bo covered in throe hours. My
horso seemed fresh, his broath camo
naturally and without effort, and I
pressed him along rapidly, for my
wholo ambition now centred upon
bringing tho information I possessed
within our own lines. Bungay, bo
yond doubt, had been recaptured long
since, for my own experience told mo
how extremely vigilant woro tho Fed
eral guards. To ono unacquainted as
h was with military customs It would
provo lmposslblo to penetrate their
lines; honco, everything must depend
upon my getting through in safety.
Thon my thoughts drifted to tho
ono I had left In such serious predica
ment It I had loved her beforo, I
loved her doubly now, for she had
proven herself a woman among worn
en In timo of danger and trial. How
clearly hor faco, with those dark
swcot eyes and tho wealth of crown
ing hair, roso before mo, whllo word
by word I reviewed all that had passed
between us, dwelling upon each look
or accent that could evinco her pos
slblo Interest In mo. Thon reason re
turned to my aid, and resolutely, de
terminedly, Inspired by overy Instinct
of soldierly honor, I resolved that I
would put her from my thoughts for-
over, alio was not mlno cither to love
or possess, unless tho uncertain fato
of war should chance to set her free.
Evon to dream of her, to cherish hor
"That's 'Bout All I Know,
li memory while sho remained the
wlfo of anothor, was but ou affront to
hor purity nnd womanhood. 1 would
provo myself n man entitled to her
respect, a soldlor worthy my servlco
and corps; if ovor again my name
chanced to find mention In her pres
ence It should bo spoken with honor.
I was musing thus, lulled by tho
steady lopo ot my horso, and totally
lLsonslblo to any possibility ot peril,
whon clear upon my cars, instantly
awakening mo from such rovorlo,
thore rang through tho night sllenco
tho sharp clang of Iron on tho road
behind tuo. All sound of pursuit had
long slnco died away, and I supposed
the effort to rccapturo me had been
abandoned. Hut thoro was no mis
taking now at loast ono horseman,
riding rocklossly through tho black
night, was pressing hot upon my trail.
"Tho lieutenant" I thovght. "tho
lloutennnt, burning with anger at tho
trick played upon him, has pushed far
ahead of his troop, doubtloss mounted
upon a hotter horse, determined to
risk everything It ho may only bring
mo back dead or allvo."
This thought awoko mo In an In
stant from my dreaming, nnd I
spin red my horso furiously, glancing
anxiously backward as I rode, but un
able through that denso gloom to dis
tinguish tho form of my pursuer. Yet
tho fellow was coming, coming faster
than any speed I could possibly con
Juro out ot tho weary black I bestrodo,
cither by whip or spur. Closor and
closor upon mo camo rushing down
that pounding ot iron hoofs on tho
hard path. Hcavona! how like a very
demon the man rodo! As a trooper I
could not withhold admiration from
tho rocklcss audacity with which tho
vengoful fellow boro down upon mo.
In spite ot my utmost efforts it al
most Boomed as if we wcro standing

still. Surely nothing less than hate,
and a thirst for vengeance bitter as
death, lmplacablo as fato, could ride
llko that through tho black night on
tho track of a hunted man I
I was ablo to trace dimly his out
lines now as ho roso on an eminence
In my rear, his horso looming dark
against the sky, llko those giant
steeds that snorted flro In my child's
:Icturo-kJooks nt homo, and thon, with
Increasingly loudor thundor of hoof
beats, he camo charging straight down
toward me. In sheer desperation I
glanced on either sldo, seeking somo
avenue of cscnpo, but the high banks
woro unscalable; my solo remaining
hope lay In a shot which should drop
that crazed bruto beforo ho struck
nnd crushed mo. Riding my best
with all tho practised skill of tho
service, I swung my body sldoways,
bracing myself firmly in tho deep sad
dle, and took steady aim. The ham
mer came down with a dull, dead
click, the revolver wub chargless, and
with an exclamation of baffled rage
I hurled tho useless weapon full at
tho advancing brute. Almost at tho
Instant wo struck, my horso went
down with tho Impetus, while over
us both, as if shot from a cannon,
plunged our pursuer, his horse turn
ing a completo somersault tho rider
falling bo closo that I was upon him
almost as soon as ho struck the
ground.
A dip of the flying hoof had cut a

bruised and half stunned as I was
from the hnrd fall, my solo longing
was to roach and throttlo that mad
man who had ridden mo down In such
demon stylo.
"You unchained dovll!" I cried
savagely, whirling him over upon his
back, "I spared your llfo once tonight,
but, by nil tho gods, I'll not do It
ngnin!"
"Gosh, Cap, is thet you?" asked the
voice of tho other, feebly.
I started back, and lost my hold
upon him.
"Bungay?" In an astonishment that
nearly robbod mo of utterance. "Good
God, maul Is this really you?"
"It's what's left 'o mo," ho answorod
solomnly, sitting up and fooling his
head as If oxpectlng to find it gone.
"Thet wus 'bout ther worst ride I over
took."
"I should think It Hkoly," I ex
claimed, my angor rising again as I
thought of it "What, in Heaven's
namo, do you mean by riding down
on mo llko that?"
"Holy Gee, Cap," ho explained pen
itently, "yo don't go ter think I over
did it a purposo, do ye Why, thor
gosh-durnod old thing run away."
"Ran away?"
"Suro, I 'vo bin a hnngin' on ter

'Ustment en ther cavalry, yo bet I

reckon I know now 'bout whut Scott
meant whon ho said, 'Tho turf tho fly
ing coursor spurned,' you hot this
ono did."
Jed rubbed his choak as if it stung
him, and I looked at him In the faint
dawning light of day, and laughed.
His peakod head and weazon face
looked piteous enough, decorated as
thoy wero with tho black loam
through which ho had ploughed; lils
coat wob ripped from tall to collar,
while ono of his eyes was nearly
closed where the bruised flesh had
puffed up over it
" 'It is a fearful Btrlfo, for man en
dowed with mortal life,'" ho quoted
mournfully.
"You'ro right," I assented. "No
ioubt you had the worst of It Dut
how camo you here?"
"Why, I wus a huntln' for a hoss
thar et thet picket post whin yo
scared up ther bunch, an' by some
sort a fule luck I got holj o' thet one,
an' tuko nrter yo, tho'in courso I

TLot's 'bout all I know, Cap. till I lit

Thero was no doubting the truth of
his story, and I held out my hand.
"You'ro a good man, Jed," 1 said
heartily, "and bo long as wo are both
allvo, a fow hard Jolts won't hurt us.
Let's see It tho horses are In any con
dition for service."
A single glanco told tho story. The
black mare was browsing by the road
side, apparently llttlo tho worso for
the shock, although a thin lino of
blood trickled slowly down her flank.
Dut the big roan had not been so for
tunnte, and lay, head under, Btono
dead In tho mlddlo of tho narrow road.
Dungay gazed at tho motionless fig
ure mournfully.
" 'Woo worth tho chaso, woo worth
tho day, that cost thy life, my gallant
gray,' " he recited solemnly, "only ltB
a roan, an' I ain't so durn sorry
either."
Regrets of any nature, however,
wero vain, and as tho little man posi
tively -efused to ride, I mounted
again. He trudging along manfully
beside mo, tho two of us sot forth once
moro, our faceB turned toward the red
dawn.
CHAPTER XXI.
Reinforcements for Early.
"Come, Wayno, wake up, man!"
Captain, I say, you must turn out of
this."
I opened my eyes with a struggle
and looked up. Tho goldon glow of
sunlight along tho whlto wall told mo
tho day must bo already well ad
vanced, and I saw the lloutennnt of.
my troop, Colgate, bending ovor me,
attired In service uniform.
"What is It. Jack?"
"Wo havo been ordered north on
forced march to Join Early, and tho
command bos already started. I have
delayed calling you until tho final
moment but know you would never
forglvo being left behind."
Beforo he had finished I was upon
tho floor, dressing with that rapidity
acquired by years of practice, my
mind thoroughly aroused to the
thought of actlvo servlco onco more.
"Was It tho now. I brought In yes
terday, Colgate, which Las stirred this
up?" I questioned, hastily dipping into
a basin of wnter. '
"I lmaglno It must havo been, sir,"
replied tho Lieutenant, leaning back
comfortably upon a cracker-box, which
formed our solitary choir. "Things
havo been on tho move ever since, and
it certainly resembles an advance of
some importance. Staff offlcors at It
all night long, McDanio. s division off
at daylight, whllo we go out ahead of
SI ay ton's troops. Reede wob In beast
ly good humor when ho brought tho
orders; that usually means a fight"
"Any artillery?"
"Sloan's and Rocko's batteries aro
with us; did not learn who went out
with McDanlel's. Longstroet has
crossed tho Whlto Briar."
"Yes, I know," I said, drawing on
tho last ot my equipments, and quick
ly glancing about to assure myself I
had overlooked nothing likely to be
ot vnluo. "All ready, Jack, and now
for another 'danco of death.' "
Our regtment was drawn up In the
square ot tho llttlo town, and as wo
camo forth Into the glorious sunlight,
tho stentorian volco ot tho Colonol
called them Into column of fours. Staff
offlcors, gray with dust from their all
night servlco, were riding madly along
tho curb, while at tho rear of our men,
Just debouching from ono of tho Bldo
streots nppoared the solid front of a
division of infantry. Wo hod barely
tlmo to swing into the Baddios of the
two horses awaiting us, and ride swift
ly to the head of our command, when
the short, stern orders rolled along
the motionless line of troopors, and
tho long, silent column swung out to
tho northward, tho foot of tho horses
raising n thick cloud ot red dust
which fairly enveloped us in its chok
ing folds.
