"Why?" I atarod at him, now thor
oughly arouaed to tho thought that

I reined up short, and with uplifted

"Why didn't you toll mo this be

many woro thore? and what did thoy

Ho scratched tho back of his head
thoughtfully, and answered with care
ful deliberation. "Durn it, 1 didn't

I glanced at my llttlo handful of

It might bo wlso to make. Undoubt

then It might not bo nocosBary for us

"Kbors," 1 said, turning toward tho
Sergeant, who sat his horao with ox
presstonlosa faco, "you wore with tho

How many do you think It contained?
and who wore thoy?"
"Vol, dero vos more bb two gom

"Havo any of tho reBt of you seen

"I understand," I said gravely.
"Ebers, who Is your best rider?"
"It vos dot funny lectio vellow Glen,
Captain."
"Glen, como hero."
Tho trooper, a moro boy, with
freckled faco and great honest gray
eyes, but wiry nnd tough as steel,
pushed his way through tho group and
faced mo.
"Glen," I said, "your Sergeant tells
mo you are the best rider in the troop.
I am going to Intrust you with the
most Important duty of all. Tho lives
of ovory ono of us and of four help

Tho boy saluted gravely, all mis

"I do, sir," ho said. "But I'd a darn

"You will bo back In plenty of tlmo

A Mission for Beelzebub,
As wo plckod our way slowly for

situation boforo us. My own knowl
edge of tho environments of tho Minor
houso helped mo greatly to appreciate
tho difficulties to bo surmounted, Ho
had succooded In hla cscapo by dodg
ing among tho negro cabins where tho
attacking lino nppearcd weakest, but
oxpresscd tho conviction that oven
this slight gap would bo socurcly
closed long before wo reached there.
"Havo thoy sufficient men, then, to
covor thoroughly all four sides?" I
asked.
"To tho host of my Judgment, there
must bo fully two hundred nnd fifty in
tho gnng, nnd apparently they operate
under strict military discipline, it Is
a revelation to mo, Wayne, of tho
growing power of theso dosperato fol
lows. 1 know thoy were becoming
numerous and bold, but this surpasses
anything I could lmnglno. Moro, they
aro being constantly recruited by new
arrivals. A party of at least a dozen
camo In whllo I was hiding behind tho
stables. I heard thorn asking for the
lender."
"What did thoy call him?"
"Lory, or Laurie, or something like
that. Thoy claimed to bo deserters
from Leo's army, but two or threo of
them woro our uniforms."
"It's Red Lowrle," 1 said gravely,
moro Impressed than ever with tho
seriousness of tho situation. "I heard
of him two years ago ho killed a man
in tho Sixth North Carolina, and took
to tho hills. Slnco then ho has devel
oped Into quite a leader for such scum,
and has proven himself a merciless
monster. Ydu havo no suggestion to
offer ns to how wo hnd better attempt
to got In?"
Ho shook his head dcspondlngly.
"What station docs Brennan de
fend?" I asked.
"Tho front of the houso; tho main
point of attack has been thero."
We could distinguish tho Bound of
firing by this tlmo, and its continuous
volume convinced mo that Caton's
estlmato of tho number engaged was
not greatly overdrawn. As wo topped
tho summit of tho hill a great burst
of red flro leaped suddenly high Into
tho sky.
"Great God, Wnyno! wo are too
late!" ho cried wldly. "Thoso devils
havo fired tho houso."
With fiercely throbbing heart I
gazed down at tho flames far below in
tho blnck valley.
"No." I Bald with eager relief. "It Ib
tho stable which Is ablaze. Seo, tho
light falls full upon tho whlto sldo
of tho house. Thank Heaven, wo aro
not too Into."
As I sat my horso thero, gazing
down upon that scene of black rapine,
unwilling to venture Into Its midst
until 1 could formulato somo definite
plan o' nctlon, fully a dozen wild
schemes thronged Into my brain, only
to bo cast aside, ono after another, as
thoroughly' lmpracticnblo.
"Wo shnll havo to mako a dnsh for
It, nnd trust In God," snld Caton,
guessing nt my dilemma.
"No," ' I answered firmly, "there
would bo no possibility of success in
such a courso. Thoso follows are old
hands, and havo pickets out See,
Caton, that Is certainly a plcket-Uro
yonder where tho road dips. Every
man of us would bo shot down before
wo penetrated thoso guard lines and
attained tho houso. Wo havo got to
roach their Inner lino somo way
through strategy, and even then must
risk being fired upon by our own peo
plo before we get within cover."
Even as I was speaking I evolved a
plan of action despernto It certnlnly
was, yet nothing better occdrred to
me, nnd tlmo wns golden.
"Ebers," I snld, "didn't I see nn ex
tra Jacket strapped bnck of your sad
dlo?" "It Is no good," he protested ve
hemently. "It vos for der rain como."
"All right; hand it over to tho Lieu
tenant horc. Caton, throw that uni
form cont of yours Into tho ditch nnd
don honest gray for onco. Sands,
como hero. Take your knlfo nnd cut.
awny every symbol of rank on my
Jnckot; tear It off, any way you can."
In another moment thoso necessary
changes had been accomplished.
"Now," I ordered, "pllo your sabers
there with mlno besldo the road; then
hobblo your horses, all but tho mulo;
I shall want him."
"Docs wo go dor rest of dor vay on
foot?" questioned tho Sergeant, anx
iously. "Certainly; and I deslro you to re
member ouo Important thing: let mo
do tho talking, but If nny of you nro
nskod quostlons, wo nre deserters from
Hill's corps, tired of tho war."
"Meln Gott!" muttered tho German,
disconsolately. "I hope It vos not long
off, Captain; I am no good on foot In
dor dnrk, by Chlmlny."
"You hnd bettor manage to keop up
tonight, unless you nro seeking to
commit sulcldo. Now, mon, mark mo
carefully! Load your carbines, Aro
you all ready? Sergeant, boo that each
man has his gun properly chnrged and

as thoroughly concealed as posslblo;
keop closo to mo always ; oboy my or
dors Instantly, and to the letter. Wo
aro but twenty mon pitted against
over two hundred, remember, nnd
when wo strlko, It must bo both quick
nnd hard "
I mounted the mulo, counted tho
dim figures in tho darkness, and then
gnvo tho order to march. As wo
moved slowly down the hill I was
nwaro that Caton walked upon ono
Bldo of mo, whllo Bungay plodded
nlong upon tho othorj but my mind
wns so filled with tho excitement of
our adventure nnd nil that depended
upon Its successful culmination, ns
scarcely to rcallzo anything other than
tho part 1 must personally play, uood
fortune and audacity alono could com
blno to win tho game wo were now en
gaged upon.
A tall heavily beared mountaineer
stood squarely In tho mlddlo of tho
road to tho north of tho picket-tiro.
I could mako out but llttlo of him as
tho light shono, orcoptlng that bo
wore a high coonskln cap and boro a
long rifle.
"Stop right thar!" b.6 called out
hoarsely, upon hearing ub. "Who are
you uns?"
As ho challenged, a dozen others
sprang up from about the flamo and,
guns in hand, camo toward us on a
run.
"Wo uns are doggoncd tired o' sol
dlerln', an' a gittln' nuthln for it," I
said In tho slow Southorn drawl, "an
wantor Jlno yor gang, porvldln' thar's
any show for It."
"How many aro yo?" asked one of
tho nowcomors, striding forward be
tween us and tho Bontry.
"A right smart heap o' a bunch; bin
a plckln' o' 'cm up over sinco wo loft
Charlotto," I returned evasively.
"Thoy1 bo dandles tor fight, an' I

"Maybo; who did yo want tor boo?"
"Wal, thoy sed as how a fello
named Lowrlo wus a runnln' this yere

reckon as how it's Lowrio we'ro alter.
Bo you Lowrlo?"
"Naw."
Tho answer was so gruff and short
and tho fellow hesitated so long in'
ndding anything to it, I began to think
It was all off.
"Wal," ho consentod to say at last,
ungraciously, thnr's a blnmo pile o

JlBt now ever yo run up again. Ho'a

He turned and strodo off, without so.
much as giving us a backward glance,
and, with a hearty congratulatory kick
to tho mulo, I and my company fol
lowed him. A hundred yards furthor
In wo passed through tho frlngo of
trees and emerged Into an dpen space
from whence wo could see plainly the
great whlto house still Illumined by
tho flames which continued to con
sumo tho stables. Shots wore flash'
ing llko fireflies out of the darknesn
on every sldo of us, tho smell of burn
Ing powder scented tho air, nnd I
could distinguish the blnck forms ot
men lying prono on tho grass in some
thing resembling a skirmish lino.
"Mnkln' a fight o' it. ain't they?" 1
asked of our taciturn guide, as wo
picked our way carefully among tho
recumbent forms.
"Damn 'em, yes, a hell o' a fight,"
ho admitted bitterly.
Just beyond musket-shot from the
house, and nearly opposite tho front
entrance, qulto a group of men were
standing beneath the black shadows ol
a grovo of trees. In spite of the gleam
from tho flro I could make llttlo of
thorn, but as we approached from tho
direction of tho rear, ono of them ex
claimed suddenly:
"Who comes thar? What body o'
men Is thet?"
"It's 'nothor party o" deserters, as
wnnts ter Jlno us," said tho guide,
sourly. "They's Johnnies from Lee'a
army.1"
"Oh, thoy dow, dow they? Who's
ther boss o' this yere crowd?"
I swung down from my scat on tho
mulo's back, nnd stood fnclng him, as
ho advanced.
"Wo uns hain't got no boss," 1 an
swered, "but they sorter fell In ahlnd
o' mo 'causo 1 wus astraddle o this
muel. Be you named Lowrlo?"
"I reckon; I'm Red l-owrle," proud
ly " 'Spect, maybo, yo've heerd tell
o' me, an' If ye hev, yo know ye've got
tor step damn lively whin I howl.
Whut wus ye In ther nrmy?"
"Corporal."
Tho flames of tho burning barn
leaped suddenly upward, as It fed by
somo fresh combustion, and flung a
brighter glnro over tho rough faces
clustered about us. I saw Red Low
rlo plainly enough now, ns ho peorod
eagerly forwnrd to senn my fnce, a
heavy-set, coarse-featured man, with
prominent nose, and thick, mntted red
benrd. Ho woro a wlde-brlramed soft
nrmy hnt, under which his eyes shono
maliciously, nnd ho grasped a long
rlflo In ono big, hairy hand. As I
gazed at him curiously, somo ono
hastily pushed a way through tho
group at his back, and tho noxt in
stant a tall figure stood at his sldo. 1
recognized tho newcomer at a slnglo
glance, and for tho moment my heart
fairly choked me It was Craig.
"Lowrlo," ho said, pointing straight
at ino, "thar's somethln wrong yero.
That follor thar Is Captain Wayno. o'
my ol reg'ment."
