CHAPTER I.
On Special Service.
It waB already growing dusk when
flic Staunton Iiattcry of Horse artil
lery returned wearily to camp after
hours of hard field drill, the men over
ronsclouB that no evolution, however
trivial, was being overlooked by
"Stonewall" Jackson, sitting astride
his sorrel on a llttlo eminence to the
left, IiIb stern faco unrelieved by even
the semblance of a smllo.
The winter quarters of the Staunton
artillery were slightly off tho main
road and 1 remained for somo tlmo
overseeing tho enre of tho horses be
fore nppronchlng the hut whoro tho
noncommissioned ofllcers hnd mess.
Wo wito nil of us still at tho tablo,
discussing tho Incidents of tho drill,
when n lieutenant appeared suddenly
In the doorway
"Sergeant Wyntt?" ho Inquired
brlrliy.
I arose to my feet.
"Hero, sir," I answered In somu sur
prise. "You aro requested to report to
Oonernl Jackson nt once; his head
quarters for tonight are at Coulter'B
farm, on tho dirt piko You will ride
jour own horse."
I''lvo minutes Inter I was guiding
my own horso down tho dark road,
bending low In the saddle, obsessed
with a feeling that this mission,
whatever It might turn out to be,
promised n chango In my fortunes.
It was nn ugly path, rutted deep by
artillery wheels, and dungcrous for
tho horso. I was an hour reaching
tho Coulter house, n doublo log cabin,
some llfty feet or more back from tho
road. It wbb with somo difficulty that
I mado my way through the obstruct
ing guard to tho steps, where an officer
took my name at tho closed door, dis
appeared In a sudden blaze of light
and I stood thero silently In tho
shadows waiting.
Ten minutes must have elapsed be
fore tho door opened again and I
heard my named called. It was a
rough appearing, commonplace In
terior. A sturdy flro burned in tho
fireplace, and three lamps Illumined
tho scene, revealing tho presence of
five men, among whom I Instantly
recognized Kwell, Ashby, together
with Jackson, and his chief of staff.
Tho fifth occupant of the room sat
alono in ono corner, his faco partially
concealed, revealing little other than
a fringe of gray whiskers. Jackson,
seated behind n table littered with
papers and mapB, glnnced up at tho
announcement of tho orderly, and I
came Instantly to nttcntlon, my hnnd
lifted In salute. The general's stem
blue eyes surveyed mo Intently
"Sergeant Wyntt, Staunton artil
lery?" "Yes. sir."
"How long, may I ask. have you
teen In tho service?"
"Since May, 'CI, sir."
"Ah! indeed. And your ngo?"
"Twenty-four, sir."
Ho mado somo remark nsldo to the
llde, who nodded bnck, and pointed to
a map before them.
"You are a younger man in appear
ance than I had expected to Bee, sor
gqant," Jackson said slowly. "Yot I
have learned within the last year to
havo confidence In young men. War
Is a swift developer of manhood Your
colonel speaks of you in tho highest
terms and Informs mo that you aro
a natlvo of Green Driar county."
"Our homo was at Lowisburg, sir."
"Then you nro doubtless Intimately
acquainted with that section?"
"Very well, Indeed, general."
Jackson sat motionless and In si
lenco for what seemed a long while,
his grave eyes on my faco, but his
mind evldontly elsewhere, ono hand
unconsciously crumpling a folded pa
per. Ashby moved his chair, causing
It to crunch noisily on tho floor, and
tho commander aroused at tho un
usual sound. i '
"By any possibility are' you related
to Judgo Joe) Wyatt?" he questioned
ilowly.
"Ho was my father, sir. He has
been dead two years."
"I regret to hear It. Your mother,
unless I am mistaken, was a Farqu
har, of North Carolina?"
"Yes, Hlr she has returned to her
old homo."
"Tho best of southern blood, gentle
men." ho Bald smilingly, glancing to
ward the others, but with watchful
eyes instantly returning to scan me.
"Was sho driven out of Green Driar
by tho state of unrest In that sec
tion?" "in a measure yes," I replied
promptly. "It was hardly safo for her
to remain there alono. Tho county la
filled with Union sympathizers, and
roamed ovor by bands of guorrlllns,
claiming allegiance with both sides,
but sparing no ono. At present, I
understand, Federal troops have been
sent there from Charleston and nro
In control,"
"Your information is partially cor
rect; but In order to perfect plnns
now contemplated 1 require a still
more dellnlte knowltdgo of existing
conditions. I need to know accurate
ly U) numl'or and distribution of tho
Union forces in Green Hrlar, and nlso
more complete information regarding
thoso irregulars who are In sympathy
with us, as well ;ih tho character of
their leaders. Judging from tho rec
ommendation given you by Colonel
Mnltlnnd I felt that you were peculiar
ly adapted to render this service. How
ovor. Sergeant Wyatt, I propose Btnt
Ing plainly that this may provo an
exceedingly dangerous detail, and If
you decide to accept it, it muBt bo
dono as n volunteer,"
Ho paused questioning!', and 1 drew
a quick brenth, realizing suddenly the
seriousness of tho situation und tho
Importance of my decision.
"I nm perfectly ready to go, sir."
Kwell broke In impntlently with 'his
high-pitched voice
"May 1 nsk If It bo generally known
In Green Hrlar that you nro enlisted
in tho Confederate service?"
"To but very few, sir," I nnswered,
turning to look across nt my unex
pected questioner "To none I nm nt
nil likely to encounter. My mother nnd
I left the county at tho first outbreak.
My father's affiliations were with tho
Union element,"
"Most fortunate. Nothing could bo
better, General Jackson. Tho ser
geant enn very safely travel b n Fed
eral officer In benrch of recruits. Tho
matter of papers can, of course, bo
easily arranged."
Jackson turned toward his nlde.
"What Federal troops are now gar
risoning Charleston, Swan?"
"An Ohio brigade, with a regiment
of Pennsylvania cavalry. There Is also
a company of heavy artillery outside
tho town."
Tho commander leaned his head on
his hand.
"It was not my original plan to
send you Into tho lines of tho enemy
In a Federal uniform. Howevor, Gen
eral Ewell'8 judgment Is probably cor
rect. Havo you a late army list there,
Colonel Swan?"
"Yes, sir, Issuod tho fourteenth."
He turned the pages slowly, leaning
forward to tho light. "Here Is a Lieu
tenant Raymond, Third U. S. cavalry,
reported on recruiting detail. Ills
regiment is stationed at Fairfax
Court House."
"Ho will answer as well bb any
other. It Is scarcely probable the
man would be known In that remote
section. What Ib tho full name? and
where is ho from?"
"Charles II.; appointed from Ver
mont." "Colonel Swan will arrange" tho
necessary papers and equipment. Or

your trophk'B of war a Federal lieu

fit this man?"
"I bclievo so, sir," and tho officer
addressed ran his eyo appralslngly
over my figure. "Any particular regi

It pressed and sent here at once, se

"No, sir, my horso Is fresh and a

"Then that will bo all, Klino; ex
cept, of course, complcto Federal cav
alry equipment for the horse."
Tfce officer saluted and disappeared,
tho door instantly closing behind
him, cutting off tho hum of voices
without. Thero was a moment of si
lence. "You hnd better retain your present
dress until after you leave tho valley,"
counseled Jackson, slowly. "Swan
will furnish you with a pass, which
should bo carefully destroyed after
passing our pickets at Covington. It
will bo of no servlco to you beyond
thnt point. My best wishes for your
success, Sergeant Wyatt."
Ho stood up, and I felt tho firm
grasp of his band. Then Ashbv nriri.
ped my shoulder.
"Wntt." he Raid kindly. "If you
per doslro to change otir arm of
tho service, you are tho kind of man I
want to rldo with me"
I smiled In appreciation, but before
I could nnswer, tho man who had been
sitting silently In tho corner arose,
and stood erect In tho light. The
glenm of the lamp Instantly revenled
his faco, still shadowed by tho wide
hat brim, tho tlrm, bearded chin, the
grnvcly smiling eyes
"General Ashby," ho snld with quiet
dignity. "Sorgennt Wyntt, I am sure,
performs this Important duty without
thought of reward. It is tho South
that has need of such men In every
branch of her servlco." IIo enmo for

"I am General Leo, nnd am very
glad to greet, and wish God speed to
tho boh of Judge Wyatt. If you return
in safety, you will report to mo In

son will bo nrrango with your battery
commander."
Tlmy were nil upon their feet,
stnndlng In respectful attention. I
murmured something, I scnrcely knew
what, bowing bb I backed toward tho
door. And this wns Lee Robert E.
Leo-this man with tho kind, thought

considerate manner. And ho had
greeted mo In words of personal
friendship, hnd spoken to mo of my
father. 1 know 1 straightened to sol
dierly ercctnccB, every pulso thrilling
with n now resolve. A moment I stood
there, my eyes on the ono faco I saw
before me, and then went out Into
tho darkness. Tho orderly closed tho
door.
CHAPTER II.
An Unwelcome Companion.
It wns in tho chill of a cold, gray
morning that 1 rode Into Strnsburg,
Jogging along at the rear of n squad
ron of Fifth Virginia cavalrymen who
chnnccd to bo headed for tho sntno
place. TIicho found quarters In tho
town, but I proceeded u mllo or more
south on tho valley pike, until I
reached a single-roomed cabin, heavy

dismounted, and leading my horso,
pressed a difficult passago through tho
bushes. To my surprise tho rear door
stood slightly ajar, and my eyes per
ceived the movement of an 111-deflnod
shadow within.
"Hollo there!" I called out, yet in
stinctively drawing a step backward.
"Ib there any room hero for a tired
man?"
The tall, angular flguro of a moun
taineer immediately appeared In the
doorway, and a gray, wrinkled face,
scraggly bearded, looked forth, tho
eyes glinting and tilled with sus
picion. "Wal, who bo yo, an whut do ye
wnnt yens?"
"I am a soldier," I replied, rnthor
shortly, not particularly pleased with
either the man's nppearanco or mnn
ner. "Mysolf and horso nro about
worn out. I mistook this for a do
sorted cabin."
"Whar bo ye bound 7 an' whut may
yo bo up to a-travelln' nlono?"
I smiled, endeavoring to rctnln my
temper.
"See, hero, friend," I returned short
ly. "I havo ub much reason to ask
you such questions ns you havo me.
However, 1 am willing enough to an
swer. I am on furlough, and am go

stared unwlnkingly into my eyes.
"1 rather reckon I do, young man,"
ho replied slowly. "Fur I was raised

"Cowan," I answered promptly, my
mind Instantly alert, and aware I had
mado a mistako."
"Ho! Yo don't say! Ono o' ol' Ned
Cowan's boys?"
"No. I am a son of Widow Cowan,
over on Coal crook."

face. Ills JawB roBO and fell on the

"Sixty-fifth Virginia Covington

The older man chewed awhllo In si
lonco, evidently impressed with the
seeming frankness of tho reply.
"Wal, ye mout bo a Cowan, o'
