CHAPTER V1L
OI.I) FRIBNOB MKET.
It-wan tho middlo of August before
tho xllfforont columns of the Army of
tho Cumberland began 'to crotw the
mountains botweon it and Chattanooga
in pursuit of tho Confcdorntos who hod
withdrawn to that placo and thoro in
trenohod :thomsolves. Moanwhilo tho
Slack family had arrived at thoir homo
near Jasper, iu tho Sequatchie valley.
Much to Sourl's surprise, everything
about tho placo looked uncouth. When
sho loft it a year before, it was all she
had ovor known. A tou months' rcBi
doncoiu thejiorth, Hurroundod by every
comfort, .nsHociating with tho daughters
of refined pooplo, hud mado a groat
change iu bcr. Now tho ,f urnlturo ap
peared .dilapidated, tho rag carpotn
rough. Indeed -thoro wan a disappoint
mout about "swoot bouio" (that sho had
not oxpeotod. Novertholcsa she did not
It down and ropluo ovor it Sho had no
means -of procuring anything bettorbut
sho found that she could do a great deal
of patching. With considerable fore
thouglit nho had brought somo cheap
material of different kindu with her,
from the north, nud thin sho usod to tho
best advantage She made noat vnlancos
for tho bodn, cushions for her mother's
rooking choir, scarfs for tho bureaus
in foot, with Tery little flho-mado quite
a revolution in the house.
Her great anxiety was her 'brother.
Jakoy had attended woll to bis studio
while at school, but his teachers had
found it impossible to change his moth
ods of expressing himsolf. As soon as
ho reached Tennessee ho began to rolapse
into tho state of semibarbarismin which
ho had lived before the coining of his
advantages. Souri know that thoro was
nohopo for improvement in hor father
and mothor. Instead of troubling them
when their ways of acting and speaking
shacked hor, sho refrained from com
mout, but when Jakey dropped into his
old ways she tried hard to check .him.
Besides she folt that it was necessary to
keep a strict guard over herself, -for sho
had noticed tliot when under any ex
citement or when her feelings were- deep
ly touched sue was apt to forgot horself
and bo onco more the "poor whito" girl
of former days.
Thoro wos another cause of Rollcltudo
as to Jakoy. It must be admitted, not
withstanding Jakey'u good points and a
certain original shrewdness there was
.about him, that he uovcr -was tho somo
boy after his few hours of service on
tColonel Maynard'a staff. It was con
stantly "when I war Colonel Mayimrd's
ald-der-camp, " or "when tho colonel
In me rodo tutor Tullyhomy, "or "when
I carried tho uows of the revaluation. "
(Then ho would strut about with his
.hands in his pockets, much to his fa
ther's amusomeut and Souri 'a dread that
he would run away and join tho Union
army. But one day whon he threatened
to'.flo so Souri took him to task for it
And i'jnado him promise that ho would
aot. This ended her anxiety, for Jakoy
would as soon havo forgotten his mili
tary .honors as break a plcdgo to his sis
ter. The Army of tho Cumberland was
now advancing by overy posstblo routo
toward Chattanooga. Ouo of tho routes
taken by tho Union army lay through
tho Sequatchlo valley and diroctly past
the Slacks' llttlo farm. Olio ovening
Souri was leaning ovor tho goto thought
fully when sho saw sovcral mounted
men iu blue, with yollow facings, trot
ting down the road. Thoy woro tho first
bluecostn to appear of tho host that was
coming. Thoro is a certain jaunty air,
a devil may caro appearance, ntiont a
trooper who becomes used to lioiug al
ways on horoback. Eaoh man ami horno
6eomod tho Hamo animal. Their sabers
clanked in uulson, and thoy woro chat
ting mid laughing oh if thoy had come
to tho south with ouly tho most peaco
ful intentions. Whon thoy rcachod tho
goto where Souri stood, one of thorn,
lifting his hat politoly, asked:
"Would yo mind mo goin to tho woll
for a llttlo water?"
In tho brilliant display that was ro-
vealed by tho lifting of the nian'B hot
Souri recognized o hood sho could never
forgot tho head of Corporal Ratigan.
"Why," sho said, "uin't you Corpo
ral Ratlgan?"
"I mil, mo young lady, nud if Oi'm
not mistaken yo'ro ouo of tho party that
won goin through tho Hues ouo day n
fow weeks ngo. "
Jakey at thin moment enmo Around

1 wheel. Seeing tho soldiers, ho euddonh
remembered his dignity as former vol
unteer aid-de-camp, and straightening
up pulled his hat down over tho back
of his head and triod to look military.
Truo, his hair wan in his eyes, but his
military training had only boon for ono
morning, and Jakoy's hair was always
in hin eyes. Doubtless it would havo re
quired months of training from a drill
aergoant to got it to growing any other
way. Approaching tho fence, he climb
ed it and sat with ono leg on each side"
of It
"Do yo know me, mo boy?" asked
Ratlgan.
"Doos I know one o' them signal
lights on th' mounting?"
"Oh, Jakoy I" sighod his sister.
"Woll, mo lad," pursued tho corpo
ral, laughing, "who am I?"
"Rats:"
"I boo yo havo a good memory. Rats.
It's quaro yo should havo romembered
that. " And tho corporal chuckled good
naturodly.
"Mobbo y' romomber somo un's
name."
"And who is that?"
"Miss Baggs."
"Certainly I do," said the corporal,
Bomowhat startled and confused.
"I sor hor t'othor day."
"Yo don't mean it?"
"Reckon I do."
"Where?"
"Sho war n-trottin thot ole critter o'
horn, goin no'tli liko shot from a squir
rel gun."
"Upon mo word!" ejaculated tho cor
poral, evidently much interested.
"Reckon sho war up ter somop'n."
"What makes yo think so?" And
Ratigau changed his position in his sod
dlo uneasily.
"Waal, whon wo mm mot hor"
"Oh, .Tokay, please don't say wo uus,"
interrupted Souri.
"Wool, whon wo met her outon th'
roach o' you unn (Souri govo a despair
ing look, but said nothing) sho talked
peart nuff, 'n sho kuowod mo, too, but
when sho passed rao on th' road t'othor
day no'th o' th' Union army sho only
starod at mo through her gogglo eyes 'u
didn't say nothin nohow. " j
"And what do yo supposo that was
for?"
"Reckon sho war in a hurry 'bout

"J.ECJC02V THEM UNS
or uottuu."
"Did you spook to her?"
"I askod her ef I o'dgivo her lovo ter
Bats when I sor him. "
Corporal Rathjan's Irish good naturo
triumphed ovcrihin desire to reach dowu
and givo tho boy. a cuff. Jakoy's coun
tonanco was solemn, as usual, and did
not break into a .sniilo in response to
tho corporal's embarrassed laugh. He
openod tho goto, and Ratlgan rodo into
-tho yard, followed by his troopers.
Thoy refreshed thomt elves from a gourd
which hung in 'the wellhouso; thou,
Ailing their canteens, thoy rodo away.
But Souri and Jakey woro destined
soon to moot ono who was of far more
consoquonoo to both than Corporal Rat
igan. Tho next morning whilo Souri
was sotting the house to rights she hoard
tho beating of innumerable horses' hoofs.
Going to tho window and looking up
tho rood which strotched northward for
a long dlstanco, in full view she saw a
column of cavalry approaching.
Before tho head of tho column had
reached tho houso the wholo Slack fam
ily woro etandiug in the yard gaping.
Two reglmonts passed, though eaoh
seemed liko an army, for cavalry occu
pies throo or four tlmos tho space of in
fantry. Botweon the second and third
regiments was a gap of a fow hundred
yards. In this rodo an officer especially
uoticcablo for his youth aud manly
beauty, atteudod by his staff and es
cort. On approaching tho Slook cabin
he motioned to theso to go on, and
wheeling his horso from tho road unat
tended rodo up to tho party of lookers
on. Jakoy, who was standing on tho
fenco, govo a curing aud was caught lu
his arms.
"Aha, littlobrothor, wo meet again."
But thoro woro otliors to eugago tho
speaker's attention. Dropping tho boy
to tho ground, ho dismounted and was
soon warmly shaking all by tho hand.
"Yor Mark Malono, I reckon," said
Farmer Slack, "though y' don't look
much liko tho common sojor oz keni
long hyar a year ago 'n changed yor
uniform fo' our Houcry's store olothos. "
"Not Mark Malono that wos u ficti
tious iiamo but Mark Mayiiard. No,
I'm not a privoto any longer. I com
mand this brigado. Aud it's o sploudid
body of moii. I'm proud of it. "
When Colonel Mayiiard camo to sa
lute Souri, thoro was on unspeakable
intorest, sympathy, oven tenderness, lu
her expressive eyes.
"Why, Souri, you'ro a woman. How
yon havo improved!"
I A slight Hush on her cheeks showed
tllt' PjMwfi tho words jovo her,
"Hain't I improved?" askod Jakoy.
"Improved? Certainly. Have you con
quered your old habit of nnsworing poo
plo with questions?"
"Did I HokJoliuny? Oh, yes," sud
denly recollecting himsolf. "I purty
nigh got over thet. "
"So I percoivo," said tho colonel,!
smiling. "You'roa perfect paragon at
expressing yrnrsolf. "
"Won't ycr como iu 'n sot down?"
asked Mrs. Slack.
"Not now. I am going to moot my
wife, whom I havo not Keen for nearly

"I reckon Mrs. Maynard'll bo right

Thoro was silouco for n few moments,
which wos broken by Mrs. Slock.

Souri frowned oven nt the request of
hor mother, and no ouo nainod auy oth

"Jokey," Bold tho colonel, "you
havou't forgotten how, when I wont
through hero a year ago, I asked you to
go with mo on my way to Chattanooga
to get information of tho movements of
tho Confederate army?"
"Hov I forgot whon I war yor aid-dor

"Well, I hadn't much inducement to
offer you thon unless tho sharing of a
prison may bo called an inducement.
Now, if you will go along, I'll promiso
yon the best that Mrs. Maynard can

"Will I? Courso I will. Paw, can I

"Sartin, boy, " and tho farmer turnod
and went to tho barn.
"Won't you need a a luncheon?"
asked Souri, whose hesitation was an
effort to avoid the word "snack, " the
only name she had known for a cold
bito boforo she went north to sohooL
"Oh, no, " said tho colonol. "We shall
rldo directly to tho plantation. We'll
get plenty to eat whon we arrive. "
Moanwhilo Jakoy had followod his
father to tho barn. Mrs. Slack stepped
into tho houso to ranko up a bundlo for
tho boy. Maynard and Souri gaunt or cd
aimlessly iu tho yard. Prcsontly thoy
found thomsolvos at tho wellhouso.
Souri loaued ovor it and looked down
into tbo woll. Thoro was Bomothing
sho wanted to say, but found it difficult.
"I thank you very much for what
yon'vo dono for me," sho said.
"Why, Souri, what havo I dono for
you compared with what you did for
me?"
"Didn't you find mo a 'poor whlto'
girl a year ngo, and haven't you sont
mo to Echool, with Jnkoy, mid holped
mo to look into a world that would have
been always closod to mo oxcopt for
yon?"
"Aud wouldn't my world havo boon
entiroly closed to mo oxcopt for you?" ,
Souri was silent.
"Souri, when you Bpcolc to mo of ob
ligation you romlud mo -how dtoply I
am obliged to you. When I wos impris
oned at Chattanooga, charged with be
ing o spy, tried, couviotcd anil about to

cape Why, child, wero it not for you
my bones would this niinuto bo molder
iug in tho jailynrd nt Chattanooga."
"But Mrs. Maynard, hIio"
Souri paused. Sho was bending low
! over tho sido of tho wellhouso, her faco
in tho palms of hor hands, her elbows
resting on tho board besldo tho bucket,
and looking down as though Becking for
something in tho dark disk below.
"Sho completed what you began,"
tho colonol finished for her.
"It was more for her to do. 'Twasn't
noth anything for me. You uns you
wan Union, ami so wan I. Sho won Con
federate "
Thoro wan n dopth of feeling in Souri
which throw her off her guard mid mado
it difficult for her to odhero to her train
iug in expressing herself.
"Souri, I am indebted to two lovely
women for every breath I draw. You
opened my prison doors. Sho who is my

for my lifo. Let un talk no more about
it Tho very mention of tho narrowness
of my escape given mo o choking sensa

Jakoy como trotting out of tho barn
on Tom, tho rim of his folt hat flapping
up uud down at each step.
Tho fnrmor followed, nud Mrs. Slack
camo out witli Jnkoy's bundlo. Then
with n handshaking nil around, and n
"God bless you, my llttlo girl," from
Maynard to Souri, tho two started on
their way, not on foot, as on their for
mer journey, but each with n good
mount.
CHAPTER VIIL
JAKEY GNTEKS TUB ARMY.
Tho two wnyforers started in tho di
rection tho cavalry had taken, but after
going a short dlstanco Colonel May
naid rolned iu bin horFo.
"Stopoblt, Madge, "ho said "I want
to consult my stuff ns to tho route."
Thon to his attendant, "Jakoy, I think
I know n shorter routo thou this."
"So do I."
"Tho ouo yon and I took whon we
went to Chattanooga boforo."
"Ter bring back information, " added
Jakoy proudly.
' ' We'll toko it again. It's off tho main
rood, and wo'U bo less liablo to bo mur
dered for our boots."
"Reckon," said Jakoy, wrinkling his
brow nud drawiug dowu tho comers of
his mouth with on intonsoly dolibcro
tlvo expression, on though, tho problem
having boen submitted to him, it behoov
ed him to consider it carefully.
Thoy rodo back past tho houso, mid
keeping on for about a milo turned into
a byway. Thin thoy followed till thoy
roachod tho Chattanooga road.
Colonel Maynard wos in tho most ex
uberant spirits. Ho hod turnod ovor tho
command of bin brigado for a day or
two to tho colonol next in rank to him
Bolf uud was on his way to join his young
wifo, from whom ho hod parted a week
aftor his marriage. Tho two aotod on
his spirits liko champagne Ho laughed
without having anything to laugh at;
ho bantered Jakey; ho talked lovingly
to his favorite horso, Madge, Iu short,
Colonol Maynard appeared just what he
was in years, llttlo more than a boy.
His Borvices as a scout had attraoted
the attention of tho army aud had led
tho gonorol for whom ho scouted to ad
vanco him. Ho had stoppod from the
ranks to a high position on the staff,
aud soon after, a cavalry rogiment boing
badly iu need of a lioutenant colonel,
the colonol being inefficient and somo
junior officer boing needed to practical
ly command, Maynard was placed in
tho position. When tho colonel of the
regiment was got rid of, Maynard was
mode oolonol. Soon after his command
was attached to a brigado wherein he
found himself tho ranking regimental
commander. This govo him tho com
mand of tho brigade
Ho outerod upon his dntiou with mis
givings. Ho know ho was woll fitted
for the duties of n scout, but doubted if
ho could command tho respect of 8,000
men. Besides ho know thero lurked
within him n spirit of antagonism to
conventional mothods; ho feared im
pulses that might wreck not only him
self, but his brigode perhaps a wholo
army. Truo, tliero won olton a kind ox
lllogltimato nobility about theso im
pulses, but it did not reudor thorn any
the less dangerous.
Ou hearing tho nows of his appoint
ment to tho command of a brigado ho
mounted his horso and dashed over to
tho headquarters of tho gonorol to whom
ho owed nearly all his advancement,
with a viow to protesting. On arriving
there ho stammered out reasons which
had no ooherenoe and was dismissed by
tho general with tbo remark that he
wan Buffering from an attack of ill tim
ed modesty, the general adding, "You
aro a born Boldior, Colonol Maynard,
and if tho war lasts long enough to givo
you ou opportunity you will reach a
highoroommoud than that of a brigade. "
