"Do not any that, Tom," her volco
eager and earnest. "1 am no worse

and forget Rex. They aro coming In

,to wall. Your cousin Is not tho kind
to evor rnlHO a whlto (lag ho'll go

"And nnd lenvo you moti In hero

"To tako our chances, of courso;
that Is a part of tho trado. Your re

result, whutovcr It mny prove to bo
and, with mo, it la merely a cholco
between bullet and rope."
Sho buried her fnco In nor hands,
but there was no sound of sobbing. I
watted, ashamed of my inconsiderate
words, yet when her eyes were again
lifted they wcra tearless.
"I know," elio Bald, "and you feel
that it will bo best for you for you,
If I go?"
"Yes. Noroen," earnestly. "Tho vorv
knowledge that you aro hero saps my
courage. Surely you can understand
why thin should bo so, for tho more
desperate our dofenso tho mora ruth
less our enemies will provo In the
hour of victory. The very knowledge
of what tho result may be would al
most lead me to surrender, and, to a
less degree, your presence hero must
affect your cousin."
"Tho lieutenant! Why to a less do

"you aro less to him. Thcro Is no tie

merely for tho protection of a woman,

"A temporary matter, a mcro form
So you wish to forget?"
I did not say that, and havo never
thought It"
"Yet you regret?"
"Only becauso of the danger hore
comes Harwood."
"Ah! my bold gunner of Staunton,"
e exclaimed as he stepped on to the
ulplt platform, "and la everything
till quiet here? Now you know what

'good time Jtne tho cavalry. Let me
get a glimpse without."
Ha atook gating forth Into the moon
' light, and our eyes took In the same
) scene. Except for the dead bodies
i lying in the open, there was little to
see, although a fow figures, appar
ently of men, moved back and forth at
a distance well beyond range.
"An 1 thought, Wyatt," said the lieu
tenant, finnlly turning about. "They
aro massing their forces again at the
front. My lady, you will witness some
real war presently."
"They may delay tho next attack till
daylight."
"No such luck; those fellows aro
soldiers, not Indians, and aro anxiouH
to get through with tho job."
"I havo been urging your cousin to
lot ub send her out under (lag of
truco," 1 Bald quietly, "to tho protec
ts tlon of Captain Fox."
"That Is really whnt I camo back
horo for," he admitted, "and we
haven't any tlmo to sparo. What say
you, fair cousin?"
Sho stood between us, and before
nhQ. answered her eyes sought both
pur faecs.
"My cholco Is to Btay." Suddenly I
felt her hand on mlno. "You will not
rofuBO mo this privilege Tom?"
"No," reluctantly; yet at the same
time strangely delighted nt tho prompt
decision, "but I thought tho other
best."
Harwood laughed lightly.
"Again tho blood," ho said gnyly.
'Hah! bo far as I was concorned tho
asking was mcro form; the answer
was already In tho lady's oyes. Hut
I must go back to my lambs."
"You havo Becured tho door?"
"Tho best wo can; braced It with
benches solid to tho wall. Tho wood
'will not resist long, but 'twill mako
tin ugly abatis for tho Yanks to clam
bor In over."
Ho lilted his cap gallantly, and
turned away, humming somo gay tune
softly as bo felt his way along the
moonlit nlalo. His very light-hearted-ncss
left tne sober and depressed. She
muBt havo realized all this, for bor
handclasp tightened.
"You aro sorry? You wished me
to go?"
"I hardly know, Noroen; I havo ev
ery confidence In Fox who Is making
that nolno? Is It tho preacher?"
CHAPTER XXVI.
One Way of Escape,
Ho was propped up against tho wall,
not far from us, and I bent over, not
ing- how he wns bound. Instantly I
cut tho cords nnd began rubbing tho
man's wrlstB to restore circulation.
"I never noticed you wero strung up
llko thnt. Nichols," 1 said earnestly.
"Who did tho Job?"
"Tho sorgennt," ho answered, chok
ing. "1 tried tor Bpcak as soon as I
saw you an' the lady ycro, but 1
couldn't git the gag out er my mouth.
Head down a bit lower; I don't want
nono o' thotn sojers tor hear."
"All right what la it?"
"Yor ol Jedgo Wyntt'B boy, ain't

"Yes."
"An' she's tho durter o' Major Har

"1 thought so, but thar ain't hardly
light 'nnugh fcr mo ter bo sure. I
married yer over cross ther moun

them Yanks out thar?"
"Yes, and all tho gang, excepting
old Ned, who was shot last night,"
"You shot him?"
"Well, It was my pistol; wo wero

swept through my mind. "See here.

Nichols, you nro In as bad shape as
wo are. Anso has trcatod you llko a

for that marriage, even It it was per

"It wasn't," he chuckled. "1 wa'n't
afeerd yer would shoot. I was tbet
mad at Anse I didn't caro; but I
reckon he'll 'bout skin mo alive it ever
he ketches mo yore."
"Do you know of any way out?"
He glancod about cautiously, to as
suro himself that no soldier was with
in earshot.
"Tho cantlstry under tho pulpit;
this Is a Baptist church, and ther Is
an opening in tho floor Just back of
whoro you aro. Feol a little to tho
left yes, about thar don't you touch
an Iron ring? Whnt? Well, thar'B
ono thar, an' It lifts two puncheon
slabs spiked tergother."
"Yes, but what is below Just a
tank?"
His volco tromblod with edger ex
citement, and ho gripped mo tightly.
"1 ain't afeerd ter tell you, 'cause
I knew both yer daddies, an' I reckon
yer'll tako me 'long with yer, won't
you? Yer won't leave mo yero fer ter
fnco that Anso Cowan? Ye'll promise
mo thnt?"
"Or courso, Nichols," I said sooth
ingly, tho man's cowardice almost dis
gusting, "if you show us a way of
cscapo we'll go together If the chance
comes what Is It? Speak quick?"
"1 I know tho ol' trail over the
mountings down tor Covington; I
reckon ns how you couldn't nevor git
thar without mo. I I thought It all
out whllo I was lyln yero trussed up
like n turkey, but they never glv' mo
no chnnco for ter get loose. Now it
you folks will cut this yoro rope often
my IcgH I'll show yer how fer ter git
out nn' nobody'll never know nuthln'
bout It."
"Explain first." I said shortly. "Ao
far as trust goes. I have confidence In
you, Nichols, Just so far as I cau see
you. What Is below 7"
"FIvo stops leadln down Inter a
wood tank." ho explained slowly, real
izing thnt his only hope of release lay
In u full description. "It's empty now,
an' dry aa a bourd; ain't been a bap

whar' tho water runs out Is at the
south nldo, right down 'gainst tho bot

r.irowed tight by a wheel, Ol' Ned

kin stand on ther upper step an' open

"And how big Is tho opening?"
"Wnl, I don't JIbI know, but I'vo

If I did It onct, 1 reckon I kin agnln.
Tnlnt mor'n 'bout six feet beyond ther
wall till It hits tho edge o' ther ravine.
Thet'n why tho Yanks didn't mako no
attack on thet sldo o' ther church
thar ain't no room."
The wholo situation lay clear beforo
mo. I had no thought or utilizing this
unexpected opportunity myself, for I
meant to stay with tho others, and
perform my part of the fighting to tho
end. Out hero was protection, and
posBlblo escape, for Norcen. Yet could
tho preacher bo trusted 7 Would he
play fair If I released him, and left
them alono together? Did not bis In
terests also Ho In getting away safe
ly? What act of "treachery could he
commit, and, besides tho girl was
urmed.
"How do you light this church?"
"Candles mostly," surprised at tho
question, "yer ain't goln' for ter light
up, aro you?"
"Not horo no; but below; where Is
thcro ono7"
"I reckon on thet thar sheir In the
pulpit yer'll (lnd a dozen er so."
"Hrlng a couplo hero, Norcen."
Sho slipped across silently, and
camo back with two In her hand.
"You nro going to try to get away?"
she whispered cautiously.
"No, not now. An opportunity may
como later. If It was possible to slip
all these men out I would gladly do so
but It Is already too late ror any
such attempt Hut thcro Is u chnnco
for you, and It Is even barely possible
that, when all bona of dofense Is over,
1 may (lnd boiiio way of Joining you."
"You you promise thnt?" sho asked.
"If 1 consent to go, you you will como
Inter It you can?"
"Yes; 1 will plcdgo myscir to accept
every chance, when I can do no moro
lighting. I'll come to you, if I live.
Now, Nichols, listen 1 urn going to
set you free, nnd permit you to slip
down through that trap door with this
lady. Sho Is armed, and sho knows
how to shoot. Attempt ono treacher
ous trick and you pay tho penalty."
"I ain't thet kind," ho whined.
"Oh, yes you are; but It will never
pay this tlmo. Don't tako your eyes
off him, Norcen; tho moment that trap
door closes light tho candle, and kcop
tho rovotvor ready. Mako him unscrew
tho cap, nnd leave it off out of the
way. Set tho candle down in ono cor
ner as far back as possible. You bet
ter go out first"
"I I am not to wait for you?" be
wildered. "Not In there no; outside, ror thoy
might fire tho building. Nichols,
whero Is tho best plnco for tho two of
you to hide bo 1 could find you?"
"In tho woods to tho west; thcro Is
a trnll hair way down tho ravine a
climbln' up an ol hog trail."
My fingers touched his throat, and
I bout lower staring straight Into his
eyes.
"Now, mark well what I say.
Nichols. I am going to release you,
and givo you a chauco to get away.
Hut you stay with tho woman do you
hear! Stay with her until you both
reach tho Confedornte lines at Coving
ton. It I over get out of here alive,
and learn you havo attempted any
trick, I'M run you down, Nichols, If It
takes ten years. Now I'll cut tho ropo,
and you creep over to whero that ring
Is in tho floor, nnd wait my order."
Evidently his limbs were numb from
tho tight cord, for ho crept tho few
feot painfully, and then Bat up rubbing
the afflicted parts with both hands. I
swept one glance out through tho win
dow, and then about the dim interior,
endeavoring to locate the men nearest
us. Only one stood close enough to
observe our movements, and I sent
blm with a message to tho sergeant
"Now, Noreen," I whispered Bwlftly.
"this is the best time. Tako these pa
pers; they are for Jackson; give them
to tho first Confederate officer' you
meet, and have them forwarded at
onco. Don't trust Nichols for a single
moment out of range of your revolver."
"You will not como?"
"Not now; you would not wish me
to desert my comrades would you?"
"Oh, 1 do not know! I do not know.
It Is so bard to decide. You really
wish mo to go? It will please you?"
"Yes."
"And you will como If ir you can?
I am to wait, and nnd hopo ror you?"
"1 pledge you my word, dear girl."
Sho clung to my hands, her faco up
lifted In tho moonlight
"I I am your wife," sho said softly,
and I I want you to"
Three shots rang out clenr and dis
tinct without, and a volco shouted
hoursely.
"Stand to it, lads!" cried Harwood
from tho dark vestibule. "Tho Yanks
uro coming!"
I swung her light form across the

volleys Into tho front door tho roar

of splintered wood, and sharp cries of

and Hnrwood's volco sounded con
tinually through the hideous discord.
"Oct buck, men! Get back! Ay, be

"Hrlng nil but two men, and come
here! Wharton, stand ready to take
a hand. Ah! there the bluo-hciues
come, lads now give them tho lead!
Flro! damn you fire!"
The little squad of ub leaped down
tho ulslo, and Wharton's men clam
bered ovet the benches, cursing and
yelling, Already tho smoke of the car
bines filled the church, and we could
see little excopt In tho flash of the
guuflro. Tho swirl or bodies hurled
mo to tho right, away from whero
Hnrwood stood, and brought mo in

this opening and tho narrow window

toward us, their guns gleaming
viciously, their voices echoing In sav

littering tho vestibule. The ch.jr fell In
splinters. How thoy got through that
tangle or death 1 know not. Into their
very races wo poured our (Ire our
own men, caught within the narrow
space, striking nt them with clubbed
guns but they wero too ninny to be
held. Over the dead poured the tor
rent or living, firing, cursing, striking.
Jamming tho rew gniy-Jnckets against
tho Inner wnll, nnd. in two resistless
streams, hurling themselves against
both vestibule doors.
Wedged In tho portals, I saw all this
so clearly that each detail stands out
In memory tho Intubated races, the
falling bodies, tho disfiguring blood
Btnlna, tho savage glint of steel. Those
who camo first were not soldiers
they were Cowan's men, gaunt, rough
fellows, bearded and dirty, their fierce
curses Bounding above tho uproar
And they fought llko (lends, driven by
Cowan's volco, and pressed remorse

URGE KINDNESS TO ANIMALS
Many Reasons Have Been Advanced
at to Why Cruelty Should
Be Avoided.
Hero nro somo of the reasons why
wo should do all we possibly can to
protect animals, says an exchange.
1. They aro, humanly speaking,
dumb and defenseless.
2. Thoy aro especially liable to
cruol treatment.
3. They aro tho victims of science,
sport, fashion, Ignornnco and preju
dice. 4. Thero Is so much suffering In
this world that wo ought to do every
thing wo can to lessen, and not to tn
crcaso it
D. It is cowardly and contemptible
to causo a living, sentient creature un
necessary or avoldablo suffering.
0. Tho animals do bo much for us
In so many ways, ministering to our
needs, that they earn exemption ror
their various races from cruelty, suf
fering and ill treatment
7. Selfish and callous disregard of
their rights can only react disastrous
ly upon tho moral nature of tho hu
man family, and mako other similar
evils appear excusable. It is a short
stop from cruelty to animals to cru
elty to human bolngs. The parents
who train their children to bo kind,
consldorato and thoughtful for the ani
mals aro laying up treasures which
thoy themselves will reap when thoso
children aro grown up.

Sale of Junk Net Elg Sum
Warden Kenton, of the stato peni
tentiary, has demonstrated the fact
that ho poaBosseo quite somo ability
as a salesman. And because of tho
warden's power as a conversational
ist, the ctato has realized tho neat
sum of $2.10.
This amount represents tho worth of
tho Junk which has accumulated at tho
prison for years and piled up In rub
bish back of tho south walls. A cam
paign against tho rubbish was Tlo
clared recently and much of it burned.
Tho money conies from the sale of
bones, iron, copper and brass.
Hut tho warden had to stand pat to
pull tho amount for tho Junk. For
the Iron, a junk man paid $175, al
though ho offered only $40 on his first
bid. Tho collector offered $5 for the
brass and copper. Fcnton put tho
prico at $1G. After considerable dis
cussion tho man was induced to givo
$13 for the lot For the bones tho
man offered $2. The warden said $4
and four it finally was. For old rags
the warden received $38.
