"Ami yon nro (ho sinter of Cameron
Fitz Hugh?"
"I am. I am Curolliio Fltz Hugh. "
"VoHxIiallnotiUo."
When Colonul Maynard ripoko tliono
wottln, thero wan a grauduur in IiIh tone,
hih figure, tho liueH of his countenance
tho Ulit in liin eye, Htrimgoly lncoiiitnt
nt with a resolution he. Intel Hindu tliu
moment licforo they wero uttered. Ho
had on the instant reversed Ills decision
mado not ten minutes boforo to do his .
duty, in tho ordinary acceptance of '
what that duty was. Ho had determined
to wvu tho woman before him, oven if '
it woro necessary to tako upon himself
far greater Ignominy than tho deatli to
which r-ho was sentenced. Tlioro was hi
lcnco hetwetui tlioin, during which Miss
Fitz Hugh otood loukiug at him in ad
miration, mingled witli inquiry. Shu
know that boiiio secret charm was at
v.")rk within, butxhudid not know wliat
It was.
"How can my death ho prevented?"
"I urn charged with your execution.
I will tako you to your linos niysulf this
night."
What was that subtlo influence, far
stronger than battalions of infantry or
batteries of mti.lnry, which gavo it to
ono not present, unconscious of his pow
er, to hold Marl: Mayuard over a piucl
jtlci and to cast him into a black gulf
below? Was it circumstances that had
a year hefoiu led Fitz Hugh to accept
tho vory part Maynard was now called
upon to play? Was it lovo that had
given Maynard tho lirido Fitz Hugh was
to have possessed? Was it Homo invisi
ble fiend that had made Maynard n rob
bet of that Initio from tho man to whom
ho twico owed his lifo and was now
bringing on his punishment? Theso
woro indirect causes, but thoy cannot
explain that inexpressible, intangible
Lonso of honor which will lead a man,
to spoak paradoxically, to commit a
orlmo ami sacrifice himsolf at tho sumo
time for another.
Tho expression on Miss Fitz Hugh's
faeo as she heard Maynard speak words
which would save her from death and
give her liberty underwent a change.
For a moment after they wero spoken
thoro was n dolightod look, but us slio
realized what thoy meant to tho man
who would savo her it was transformed
into an expression which can only bo
dcBcriliod as bordering on tho confines
of angel land. There was a holy look
in her oyes, n radiance of parity from
tho soul expressed in every feature
Thoro was tho superhuman attribute of
ohooslng death before lifo and liberty
ut tho prico of wrong.
"No, colonel, wo Fitz Hughs cannot
aoccpt oacriflco, nnd especially wrong,
from others. Wo givoj wo aro not ac
customed to receive."
Maynard stood gazing at her witli a
look as if in refusing tho sacriflco she
had stabbed him.
"Whot then," ho said ut last, "can I
do?"
"Sond tho Hows of my condition, of
my expected" slio shuddered at pro
nouncing tho word "execution to our
lines. Knowing that 1 am condemned,
thoy can bring what iuflueiico they may
bo ablo to save mo."
"It will avail nothing."
"Try it. Fate, luck.Providonco works
Btraugoly nt times. Let us push on and
leavo tho rest to a higher power."
Tho colonel looked at Ids watch. "It
is now half past . Wo aro but a few
miles from tho Confederate lines. Your
brother is"
"In 's cavalry division and on
tho Confodcrato right. I heard from
him only it fow days ago. Ho was then
atltingold."
"That is not far from hero. "
"Thero may bo time," she said hopo
fully. "Somo ono must steal through tho
lines. If not shot, ho may accomplish
bomothiug. In half an hour I shall bo'
"You?"
"Yes, II I will not trust this only
thread ou which your lifo haugs to any
ono olso, though 1 confess," ho addod
gloomily, "I havo no confidence in it."
"No, colonel, I cannot accopt this
from you. You are tho commander hero
and aro all that stands botweou mo and
death. You must romaiu hero and send
a niossonger."
. "Who would I dare intrust with such
a message?"
"Send for tho man who captured me,
Corporal Ratigan. Lot him bear tho
message,"
"Ho?"
Tho colonel looked at hor a moment,
as if to question why this man should
bo bo trusted, but hor eyes woro lowor
d. Ho know there wa3 n secret which
it did not becomo him to pry into.
"I will send him, if ho can bo found
at once. If not, I will go mysolf. And if
tho mission fails"
Tho words woro not finished, for ho
well know how precious timo was, nud
turning from tho room nnd tho houso
strode rapidly toward his tent.
Ho had gouo but a dozen paces boforo
Lo heard somo ono calL
"Colouoll"
Ho did not hoar. Tho call was re
peated. "Colonel !"
A man npproachod him, whom irj tho
darkness ho did not recognize.
"Is thero uo-hopo, colouol?" tho man
asked in n choked voico.
"Who nro you?"
"Tho mnu who captured her," point
ing to tho houso. "Oi'll nover draw sa
hor again.'!
I "Cprporal Ratigan?"
f
Br AMERICAN Af H
"Mno same. "
"This is fortunate. Como with mo. "
Tho two started together to n thicket
wherein thoy would neither bo observed
nor heard.
"Ol'm hangin round, yo seo, colonel.
Oi'm away from camp without leave. Oi
hopo they'll shoot mo font deserter."
Colonel Maynard did not speak till
thoy reached tho thicket. Then, turn
ing and facing Ratigan, ho said ear
nestly: "You would like to save her, would
you not';"
"God knows I would."
"Thou go to tho picket lino nud got
through unobserved If possible. Go to
Ringold and find a Confederate officer
Cameron Fitz Hugh, if ho is thero.
Tell him that his sister iscondomued to
bo shot nt sunrise tomorrow morning.
Bay that Colouol Mark Maynard sends
him tliis information, that ho may uso
whatever influonco ho possesses tako
any measures ho may consider honor
ableto savo her. Toll him," tho colo
nel lowered his voico, "that I offered
to attempt to do so, taking ruin upon
myself, but slio would not accopt tho
sacriflco. Go; there is no timo to loso.
When tho sun rises, it will bo too late. "
"Oh, colonel," cried tho man in
agony, "thero is so littlo timo!"
"Got It is not yet 10 o'clock. Wo
havo six hours."
Tho corporal was moving away when
tho colonel stopped him.
"You will need tho countersign."
Ratigan returned, and tho colonel
whispered it in his ear, "Carnifax
Ferry."
CHAPTER XVII.
uatkian'h mission.
Tho extreme left of tho Army of tho
Cumberland, from which Corporal Rat
igan started to go through tho lines,
was hold only by cavalry and mounted
infantry, nud theso widely separated
Thero was no regular picket lino sucn
ns usually exists between armies con
fronting each other where tho different
branches of tho servico nro represented
in ouo continuous line. Consequently
tho corporal had a far hotter chance to
got through than under ordinary cir
cumstances. Passing over tho Pea Vino ridge, ho
descended tho other side sloping to a
small stream called Pea Vino creek. It
was essential that ho slip through bo
tweou tho Union vedottes unseen, for if
obsorved ho would bo taken for a de
serter and either shot or sent in to tho
headquarters of his regiment Tho ve
dettes wero principally ou tho roads,
nud tho corporal, boliovlng that they
would bo looking for an enemy ou routes
ovor which cavalry could best advance,
solcctcd ono least advantageous for a
horso to follow. Wherever ho could
find a thick clump of trees or low
growth, n knoll, a ravino, indood any
thing difficult for a horso to pass, ho
would go over or through it Now ho
would stop. to listen for somo sound such
as n horso is liable to mako, nnd now
would steal on his hands and knoes or
crawl on his holly ovor somo eminence
whoro, if ho should stand upright, his
body would mako a silhouotto against
tho sky. Ou crossing a bit of lovel
ground ho suddenly heard a horso's
"splutter." Ho was near a clump of
bushes in which ho lost no timo in con
cealing himself. A cavalryman rodo by
within 00 feet of him, walking his
horso slowly, tho butt of his carbino
resting on his right leg, and in a posi
tion to bo usod readily. Ho was patrol
ling a beat. Ratigan waited till ho had
gono past, then darted onward to trees
which, from thoir irregular lino, ho
judged grow besldo tho creek. Ho was
not disappointed nud was soon standing
in shallow water, resting for a fow
minutes under n low bank.
Onco past tho crock ho felt that ono
half his danger was ended. Ho had
doubtless got boyoud tho rango of his
own comrades, and now came a groat
danger of mooting tho Confedorato
pickets. Leaving tho crook, ho ascended
a Blight ominouco and mado a survoy of
tho surrounding country. All was si
lent, except that ho could hear nn occa
sional Bound Hko a distant burst of
laughter, or n shout from tho direction
of RiiiRold, in his front Presently ho
hoard tho unmistakable rumblo of a
train coming from tho south.
"It will pu68 right down there bo
hind that clump of trees nnd go through
tho out," snid tho corporal. "01 wouder
wouldn't it bo a good plan to tako ad
vantage of its noiso when it passes to
Blip through tho outposts. They'll bo
thinkin of tho traiu, nud Oi can follow
in its wako."
Ho advanced cautiously to tho treos
besido tho track nnd waited for tho
train. Presently tho headlight of n loco
motivo shot out from around n enrvo.
Tho corporal had forgotten that its light
would reveal him to tho engineer. Ho
crouched down out of sight with a high
boating heart, nud uono too soon, for
had ho staid whoro ho was tho light
would havo shouo dircotly on him. Ho
waited whilo tho cngluo puffed slowly
by. It was drawing a long train of mix
ed passougor, cattlo and platform cars,
every car crowdod with troops.
"Thoy 're proparln to glvo us a brush
iu earnest Like enough theso are ro-eu-forcomonts,"
muttered tho corporal.
Ratigau dotorminod to follow tho rail
road north to Ringold, which ho judged
to bo only a milo distant Tho train
loadod with Coufcdorato troops having
just passed, tho guards ho might moot
would probablyjjot bo very suspicious
of an enemy. Ho walked on tho track
for a short distance, expecting a ohal
lengo with every step.
Ho received ono suddonly, just boforo
entering n wood. A man on horsoback
nimed a carbino at him nud gavo tho
customary:
"Who comes thar?"
Ratigan at onco throw up his hands,
which his challenger could distinctly
see, and cried out, "I want yo to tako
mo to Colouol Fitz Hugh."
"What do you want with him?"
"Do yo know him?"
"Ho commands n regiment iu our bri
gade "
Seeing that tho corporal hold his
handy above his head, tho man permitted
him to draw near. Onco here, Ratigau
informed him of tho nature of his mis
sion and begged him for Colonel Fitz
Hugh's sako to sond him to Ringold nt
onco. Tho vedetto wns convinced from
Ratigan's earnestness that ho boro n
messago of importance, and calling his
comrades ordered ono of them to dis
mount. Then, taking tho precaution to
blindfold tho stranger, ho mounted him,
nnd placing n horseman on either side
of him scut tho thrco clattering toward
Ringold. It was not a long distance to
tho town, but all distances, all periods
of waiting, seemud long to tho corporal.
Wns not tho torriblo oventto tako placo
at sunrise? And now it must bo near
midnight
"What is tho timo?" ho nsked of hia
conductors.
"Twenty minutes to 11."
"Let's go fastor. Colouol Fitz Hugh
would bo ns anxious for mo to get on as
Oi urn nieself if ho knew mo errand."
"All right. Let's light out, Pete."
And Ratigan felt tho motion of a gallop
iu tho horso ho rode. And now came
a "Halt" from a guard nud an answer,
followed by "Advnnco nnd glvo tho
countersign." Ono of tho men goes for
ward for tho purpose. Then tho party
goes on again, but what thoy pass or
where they nro going Ratigau knows
nothing about. Ho only knows that
they aro moving, nud that they aro not
moving fast enough to suit him. Pres
ently thoy stop, and tho corporal can
hear one of tho men dismount. Thero is

a Stroke Of a clock tiviilniitlv frniii n
church spire. Ho counted, "Ono, two.
three," nud on to eleven.
"Dismount."
Ho lost no timo in throwing himself
from his horso nnd was led forward.
Tho air became warmer. Ho must bo
in nn inclosure Tho baudago was taken
from his eyes.
He was standing in n tent lighted by
a caudle fixed to tho end of a stako
driven into th ground. Tliero was but
ono other person present, a Confodcrato
officer. Ho was a tall, slender young
man, with long black hair, a mustacho
nnd goateo, nnd an eyo honest, respect
Inspiring, and with all tho gentleness
of a woman's.
"Aro yo Colonel Fitz nngh?" asked
tho corporal, making a saluto as if iu
presonco of an offlcor of his own side.
"Iom."
"Oi havo a messago from yor sister. "
Colouol Fitz Hugh turned ashy pale
No ono could como to him from hor
without striking terror into him, for ho
know tho work in which sho was engag
ed. For months ho had lived in dread
of her capture. If tho mossongor had
been a citlzon or a Confodcrato soldlor,
it might not spoak so clearly of danger,
but comiug from a Yankco trooper
quick reasoning told him that sho had
doubtloss mot with disaster.
"Indeed," was all his reply to tho
corporal's announcement
"Oi'm sorry to inform yo, sir," said
tho corporal in a voico which ho vainly
endeavored to keep steady, "that Miss
Fitz flugh, passin under tho nomo of
EHzaboth linggs"
Fitz Hugh put his hand on Ratigan's
arm and stopped him, whilo ho gathered
IiIb faculties to boar what ho know was
coming.
" Wos pursued by a contomptiblo our
of a Yankee, who deserves to bo haugod
for chasiu a woman"
"Yes, yes. Go on."
"Was captured and"
"O God!"
"Condomued to bo Bhot for a spy to
morrow mornin at sunrise"
Fitz Hugh sank baok on a camp cot
nnd covered his fnco with hi9 hands.
For a fow moments tho corporal re
spected his grlof by sllouco, but timo
was precious, and ho soou continued.
"Thinkin yo might oxorciso somo
influenco to save her, Ol'vo como to in
form yo of tho distressln fact"
Tho last two words wero spoken in n
broken voico.
"By whoso authority?"
Fitz Hugh roso nud stood boforo tho
corporal. Ho had nerved himsolf for
whatever was to follow.
"Colonel Mark Moynard, command-
ing tho th cavalry brigade "
"Do yon mean to toll mo," said Fitz
Hugh, with a singular, impress! vo Blow
ness, "that my sister is at tho mercy of
Mark Maynard?"
"Ho is charged with her oxecutlon."
Colonel Fitz Hugh shuddered. "That
man Is my Nemesis," ho cried inn voico
filled with a kind of dospnlr.
" 'Tis ho that sent mo to yo. "
"He?"
"Tho same"
"Docs ho wish to savo my sistor?"
"Ho does."
"Why, then, does ho not do so?"
"Ho can only savo her by his own
disgrace Yer sister will not nccept
tho sacrifice"
l'A true Fltz Hugh, "said tho brothor
proudly.
"Then Miss Fitz Hugh suggested that
ho might send mo to inform yo of tho
situation, that yo might hov opportu
nity to uso any influence yo would con
sider wise and honorablo to secure n re
prieve "
Fitz Hugh thought earnestly with his
head bowed, his eyes fixed on a spot on
tho ground.
"There Is nothing that I cau do," ho
laid at last. "Threatened retaliation is
tho only recourse, and that could not he
effected tin ler tho circumstauceB with
out implicating Colonel Maynard."
"Then yo seo no way open?" nskod
tho corporal dtspondently.
"It is inipossiblo for mo to net Intel
ligently alone. If I could see Colonel
Maynard, pcrhap9 together wo might
hit upon n plan."
"Would yo meet him between tho
linos?"
"Tliero is not sufficient time"
"There's five or six hours."
Fitz Hugh stood pondering for n few
moments without reply. Then, suddenly
starting up, he said:
"Go tell Colonel Maynnrdthat I will
moot him as you suggest. Let tho point
of rendezvous bo let mo see whore do
you consider a feasiblo point? You hava
just como through."
"01 would namo tho bank of tho creek
nt n point duo west of this."
"How long u timo will bo required
boforo tho meeting cau tako place? It U
now a littlo after 11."
"It may bo an hour; it may bo Ion
ger. If yo will bo thoro, colouol, nt 13
o'clock, wo'll meet yo ua Boon nfter as
possible'
"You will find mo thoro at 12. "
"It would bo well, colouol, to con
cert a signal by which each should know
tho other. "
"Suggest one. "
"Oi'll doubtless bo with Colonel May
nard. Oi'll cry Oirolaud, and yo can
respond"
"To tho rescue "
Colonel Fitz Hugh called to those
waiting outside, who had brought iu
Lorporal Uatigan and directed thorn
to blindfold him nnd tako him to tho
Federal lines, and, if possible, insure
his getting through without injury.
They were to report tho result to him
in any event
Ratigan know nothing but tho gallop
of tho horso ou which ho sat, with n
handkerchief about his eyes, until the
party conducting him drew rein nud lie
was directed to dismount Then ho was
asked If ho would bo escorted to a Union
vedetto known to bo ou a road leading
around tho north end of the ridgo oi'
whether ho would go alone
"Oi'll go alone," ho Bald. "If yo go
with me, they'll think it a midnight at
tack." Starting forward, tho corporal trudg
ed over a short distuueo botwoou hi in
and tho vodette As ho drew uoar ha
began to 6lug a fow lines from a play
popular at tho time.

"Friend with tho countersign, to bo
Burol Who d'yo supposo?"
"Advance friend, and givo tho coun

deal puzzled at hearing tho Irish broguo
coming from that direction, but it reas
sured him. Ho did not havo much fear
or an enemy unless it were a trap to
got him nt n disadvantage. Ratigau
drew near and whispered, "Carnifax

"What aro you doing out thoro?"
quorlcd tho man.
"Lookin out for trniiiB bringlu in

"Youdon'.tmonu itl Guess they're

"I beliovo ye, mo boy."

till ho got out of sight of tho vodette.
Then ho rau till ho dropped breathless

CHAPTER XVIII.
A STHANOE MEETING.
Ratigan wns so exhausted as to bo
only ablo to glvo Maynard a fow do
tached sentences, conveying Fomo idea
ns to what ho had accomplished. Thero
was littlo that it was essential should
bo told except that Colonel Fit. Hugh
would meet liim between tho lines as
soon ns ho could get there Casting n
glnnco nt his watch, Maynard noticed
that it was !20 minutes to IS. Tliu dis
tance to tho point of rendezvous as near
as they could estimate it, was two miles.
Every minute was precious. It would
ho midnight before they could meet, and
then they would only havo about six
hours iu which to tako measures to se
cure a reprieve. They could only do so
by communicating with general head
quarters, some 10 miles away. In any
event tho euro was desperate However,
Maynard had been used iu his scouting
days to snddii transitions nnd had him
self escaped from prison on tho very
night before his intended execution.
Calling his striker, ho bado him saddio
Madgo, who, ho know, could carry him
over tho ground nt no laggard pace, and,
ordering a mount for the corporal at tho
sauio time, tho two waited impatiently
till both imimals were led up before the
tent.
Mounting, they began to climb tht
Pea Vino ridge. Ratigan. who had beer
over tho ground, led tho way. They
reached tho top of tho ridge, and the
corporal pointed out tho position on the
creek, duo west of Ringold, where they
were to meet Colonel Fitz Hugh. De
scending tho slope, they camo upon a
Union vedetto and wero challenged with
tho usual words "Who comes there?"
"Tho colonel commanding, with an
orderly, inspecting vedettes"
They were advanced, gavo tho coun
tersign and passed on. Taking a route
between two roads and meeting no mom
guards they cautiously approached tho
placo of rendezvous.
Ou reaching tho bank of tho creek
they descended it, tho corporal riding
ahead and peering through the darkness
to discover what they wero looking for.
Presently tho dark figure of n horseman
emerged from n clump of trees on tho
opposite bank nnd rodo forward toward
tho creek. Ratigan saw him, and, believ
ing him to bo some ouo iu ntteudauco
upon Colonel Fitz Hugh, called:
"Oireland."
"To tho rescue," called tho man in a
low voice, and rodo up to the margin
of tho creek.
