A man was moving alqwly down tho
narrow alslo toward inb, stopping
hero and there to bond ovor somo
nufforer with mcdlclno or n cheery
word. Ho wore a short whlto Jacket,
and was without a cap, his head of

"Whoro am 1?"
Tho Uu6 eyes In tho freckled, boy
lab faco danced good-humorcdly, nnd
ho laid a. big rod baud gently tipon
my forohoad,
"Flold hospital, Sixth Corpa," ho
said, with p. ajioug Hlbornlnn aq

"tlottor than somo othors I'vo'scon,"
I mnnaged to articulate faintly. "Who
won?" ,
"Dlvll a wnn. of us, knows," ho ad'
mlttcd frankly, "but your follows did
tho rotratln'."
It was art bid, old slory to all of us
by that time, nnd I closed my oyos
wearily, content to ask no more.
I havo ui way of knowing how long
I rested thoro motlonloss although
awake, tny eyes closed to keep out tho
painful glero, my sad thoughts busied
wMi memory or thoso men whom I
had seen rool and fall upon that
stricken flehl wo had battled sq vainly

den, start of fear, If. I had lost a limb,
if I was to bo crippled for life, tho
one thing I drendodaboyo all elso.
Feeling foobly Beneath ihy bed-cloth

limb. All wero apjiarwutly. intact, nl.
though my left ,nrm Bocrucd useless
and devoid of feeling, -brokon no

That first volco sounded oddly

"If that' Lieutenant Caton?" I asked
doubtfully,
"Most ujsuredly It is," quickly.
"And who are you?"
"Captain Wayno of tho Confodorate

"Oh, rtf-yne? dlad you spoke, but

Ing her. Indeed I was asleep when
SlioMItially .entered, and-lt was-'the

mo and muilo. mo conscious of tho
prosonco of othors.
"I shall sharo these grapos with my

ingly. "By tho way, Cella, his volco
sounded, sTangoly familiar to mo a
short tlino ago. Just glanco qyer
thcro aud see It ho Is any one you

I horird tho soft rustlo of sklrtri,
and, without a smllo, looked up Into
her dark eyes. Thoro was a sudden
start of pleased surprise
"Why," sho oxclalmod eagerly, "t
Is Colonol Cvirran! Edith, dear, horo
Is tho Rebel who protended to bo
Myrtlq Currnn's brother,"
How tho hot blood loappd within my
oliis nt montlon of that namo; but
boforo I could lift my head sho had
swept acrosa th6 narrow aUlo, and
was stnrtdlng beside mot Wife, or
what there was that within her oyes
which told mo a wondrous story. For
tho In3tnn,t, In lmr sUrprlso and agita
tion, sho, forgot herself, and lqst that
marvellous self-restraint which had
hold us bo far apart. '
"Captain Wayno!" Bho cried, nnd
her loVod handR fell Instantly upon
my own, whoro It rostod without tho
coverlet "Vpu hqro, and wounded?"
I smiled up nt hqr, fooling now that
my injuries wero Indeed trivial.
"Somowhat weakened by Iosb of
blood, Mrs. Brennnn, but not danger
ously hurt." Then I could not for
bear asking softly, "Ib It possible you
can feel regret ovor lnjurlos Inflicted
upen a Hobol?"
Her chocks flamed, and the audaci
ous words Borvcd to recall her to our
surroundings. '
"Even although I lovo my country,
nnd Blncoroly hopo for tho downfall of
her enomloB," sho ausworcd soberly,
"! do not delight in suffering. Wero
you In thnt terrlblo cavalry chargo?
They toll mo scarcoly a mar. among

"I rodo with my roglmont."
"I know It wns your roglmont tho
namo was upon ovory Up, nnd oven
our owu men unite In declaring' it a
magnificent sacrifice, a most gallant
dcod. You must know I thought In
Btantly of you when I waa tqld It waa
tho act of tho t Virginia,"
Thoro wero tears In my oyoB, 1
know, ns 1 listened to her, and my
heart warmed nt this frank confes
sion of hor rouflbmbroheb.
"I nm glad you caod sufficiently
for me," I said gravelyj "toehold) nfd
lr your thought at such a time. Our
command moroly performed tho work
glvob it, but tho noceenity has cost
us doarly. You aro yet at Qenoral
Shorldan's headquarters?"
"Only temporarily, and simply be
cause there hat.i boon no opportunity
to got away, tne movements of tho
army havo been so hurrlod nnd un
certain. Since tho battle Miss Minor
has desired to romaln until assured
i. i s
mm
of Lieutenant Caidn's' pcrbiancnt re
covery. Ho Was most severely
vounded, and of codrso I could not
well leavo her horo alono. Indeed
I am her guest, as wo dopart tomor
row (or her home, to remain indefi
nitely." "But Miss Minor Is, I understand, a
natlvo of this Stato?"
"Her homo Is in tho foot-hills of the
BIuo Rldgo, along tho valley of tlio
Cowskln, a most delightful old South
ern mansion. I passed tho summer
thcro when a moro girl, previous to
tho war."
"But will It prove Bafo for you
now?"
"Oh, Indeed, yes; everybody saya
so. It Is entirely out of th6 track of
both armies, and has completely es
caped dcspbllatlon. But yoti, Captain
Wayno; surely you havo already
risked enough?" ,.
"Thcro Is much suffering upon both
sides, but surely ovxfn you would not
wish ma, to bo) other than truo to
what I look upon ns a duty?"
"No; I I nthlnk ! I -respect you
tho more."
I clasped her hand close within my
(own, . i
"Your words encourage mo greatly,'
X said earnestly. "I havo dono so much
to bring you trouble and sorrow that
,1 haVo been fearful lest it had cost
Vno what I Valud more iilghly than you
jean ovor know." ' '
These words Wero unfortunato, and
Instantly bpqught baqk to .her a mom
lory which scorned a barrier between
us. I rend tho chango in her averted
faco.

Ing oven ns sho spoke, "ion have

so peculiar as to mako mo always

townrd tho othors, "Is It not time wo
wero going? I am very suro tho doc

Lieutenant Caton but n brief tlmo."
"Why, Edith." retorted tho other,
gayly, "I bnvo been roady for half an
hour haven't I, Arthur? but you
wero bo deeply engrossed with your
Rebel I hadn't tho heart to interrupt."
I could seo tho quick color as ft
mounted over Mrs. Drennnn'a throat

say good-bye. Lieutenant; doubtless
We shall Bee you at Mountain View ao

shall soon learn of your complete re
covery.'' . '
TMy eyes followed thom down tho
long aisle. At the ontrunao sho
glanced back, nnd I lifted my hand.
Whqthor sho marked the gesture I
do not kno", for tho next Instant
both ladles had disappeared without.
Tho night drew slowly dowu, ami
an It darkened, only o miserable
amp shed Its dim days throughout the
great tent; nursos mbyod nolslcssly
from cot to cut, aud I learned some
thing of tho nature of ray own In
juries from tho gruff old Burgeon who
dressed tho wound In my cheat nnd re
factoned tho Bpllnts along my arm.
It must havo been midnight pos-
was iu jrtu g
slbly even later ivjien a number of
rapid shots fired outsido tho tent
aroused mo, and I heard many voltes
shouting, mliigled with tho trend of
horses feet Tho night-watch had al
ready disappeared, and tho startled In
mates of tho tent wero In a state of
Intense confusion. Ab I lifted myself
slightly, dazod by tho BUdden uproar
and eager to learn its causo, the tent
flap, which had been lowered to ex
cludo the cold night air, was hastily
Jerked asldo, and a man stepped with
in, casting ono rapid glanco about
that dim Interior. Tho flaring lamp
o rhead revealed to mo a short,
heavy-set figure, clad in a gray uni
form. 'No ono hero nesd feel -Oarm," ho
said qulotly. "Wo are not making war
upon tho wounded. Aro thero any
Confederates present nblo tb travel?"
A dozen eager voices answered him,
and men began to crawl out of their
cots onto tho floor.
"We can bo burdened with no help
less or badly wounded men," ho said
sternly. "Only -those nble to ride. No,
my man, you ard in too bad shapo to
travel. Very aorry, my boy, but it
can't be done. Only your left arm,
you Bay? Very well, iraovo out in front
thoro. No. lad, It would bo the death
of you, for we must rldo fast and

' Ho carne to a pauso a' half-dbzbn;
'Cots away from mo, and' seemed ab6ut
to retraco his Bteps. 't)Im as tho
light was, I felt convinced I had for
morly seen that short flguronnd stern
faco with Its closely cropped beard.
''Mosby," I called out. resolved to
risk his remombrance. "Colonel Mos

sharply, turning in
ho questioned
tho direction of
my Voice.
"Wayno," I answered eagerly,
"Wayne, of tho th Virginia."
In an Instant ho was standing be
sldo my cot, his eyes filled with
anxious Interest.
"Phil Wayno, of Charlottesville?,
You hero? Not badly hurt, my boy?"
"Shot and bruised, Colonol, but I'd
stand n good deal to got'out of this."

had frequently brought mo Into con

Jrrogular forces, which; cooperating
With Mb, often, rendered most offlciont'
porvlco by preying on . tho scattered'
Federal camps and piercing their lines
of communication. Seldom risking an
engagement 'n tho open, their policy
was rather to dash down upon somo
outpost or poorly guarded wagon
train, and retreat with a rapidity ren
dering pursuit hopeless. It was parti
Ban warfaro, and appealed to .manyp
ill-adapted to abide the stricter dis
cipline of regular service Thesd bor
der rangers would rendezvous under
somo chosen leader, strlko an unex

discovered, then disappear as quickly
ax they came, oftentimes rcattcrlng
widely until tho call went forth, for
some fresh assault It was sorvlco
not dissimilar to that performed dur
ing tho Revolutionary struggle by
Sumter and Marion in tho Carollnas,
and added In tho aggregate many a
day to the contest of tin Confederacy.
Among Uicbo wild, rough riders be
tween tho lines no loador was more
favorably known of our army, nor
moro dreaded by tho enemy, than
Mosby., Daring to tho point of reck
lesnness, yet wary as a fox, counting
opposing numbers nothing when
weighed .against tho ndvantngo of sur
prise, tireless in saddle, audacious in
resource, 'qulqk to plan nnd equally
quick to execute, hp was always

equipped for service. Some remained
mounted, lounging carelessjy In their
saddles, but far the larger number
wero on fcot, their brldlo-rolns wound
about their wrlsta. All alike appeared
alert and ready for any emergency.
How many composed tho party I was
unablo to judgo with accuracy, as they
constantly cahie and went from out
the shadows beyond the circumference
of tho fire. As all sounds of firing
had ceased, I concluded that tho work
pmnned had been already accom
plished, Undoubtedly, surprised as
they were, the smnll Federal forco
left to guard this point had been qulqk
ly overwhelmed and scattered.
Tho excitement attendant Upon my
relonse had left mo for th'o tlmo being
utterly forgetful as to tho pain or my
wounds, so that weakness alono held
mo to tho blanket upon which I , bad
been left Tho night was u-ecldely

was a young fellqw, wearing a gray
artillery Jacket, wjth high cayalry
boots coming above tho knees. I no
ticed his firmly sot Jaw', and a pearl

"Is this Captain Wayne?" ho asked,
not unploaBantly.

Thoy lifted mo In tho blanket, ono

bore me tenderly out into tho night
Once ono of them tripped over a pro
