"The tb Tennessee."
"The old story," raid Mark aoveeeiy.
"Ton men are doubtless from east
| Tennessee. Ton era deserters, trying
to get beck to where you eeae from."
! Mark had hit the nail on the bead,
I The men looked terror stricken. Hs
i knew, whan be ordered tbem to pull
. across the river, thst they would obey
! him gladly.
I "Get Into the boat, every one of yon."
Every man got Into the boet, and one
J of tbem took the oars.
"Now If you will get me over qnlek
ly I'll see what I can do for yon with
| your commanding officer when I re-
I turn."
, Jakey wes standing on the bank with
, his eyes wide open at this scene. Mark
HAD been a hero with him; now he was
, a little less than s god
"Do you want to get scross the river,
I my little manr asked Mark, as If he
hsd never seen the boy before.
"Boos I went ter? Coarse I does."
, "Jump In then, quick. I've no time
. to lose."
Jakey came down and got In with
the rest
. "Give way," triad Msrk, and Iks
boat shot out from the shore
Not a dosen strokes bad been taken
| before Mark, who was delighted at the
success of bis assurance, saw a sight
thst made his heart sink within him.
A boet shot around Moccasin point
from the eastward. It was full of
armed P>EO.
AA soon as they saw tba skiff with
1 Mark and the deserters In it—for soch
they were—they pulled straight for
, them, TN Ave minutes they were along
side.
"I reckon you're the mot we're look*
LNG for," ssld an officer sseted In the
stern.
"Who ere you looking for?" aaked
Mark, with ss much coolness as hs
oonld assume.
"Deserters from the —-th Tennss
see."
Mark knew It was all up with him.
His assumption of being on General
Brage's staff, which had bsen so sao
oessful s rase, suddenly appeared to
HIM a baiter about his neck.
"Hand over your guns," said th* of
fleer.
The guns were fcsnded Into the boat,
all except Jakey's shotgun.
"That other one too."
"That's only a abotgun, captain," aald
Mark.
"Well, never mind the popgun."
Every moment the deserters looked
for Merit to declare his exalted posi
tion oh General Bragg's staff, but NE
such declaration came. It seemed poe*
Bible to tbem that perhaps he would
not wish to disclose his identity to so
many. At any rate they said nothing.
Had It not been for bis assumption
Mark would have applied to the cap
tain to let a poor countryman and his
Utile brother pass. Had be done so
It is quite possible that the man be
had deceived, surmising thst he was
a refugee like themselves, would not
HAYE, betrayed, him; but Mark knew
that besides Oris danger the
having found him In such company,
would not tat him go.
Mark's heert wea heavy aa tb* boat
In which be sst was pulled slowly
against the current to Chattanooga. He
realised that there was now
tunity for his wits, on which ns usual
ly relied, to work. He wss In the
hands of the enemy; be would not be
released without a thorough QUASTFW

would not tell against him.

Tbe reply that came to the announce
ment of tbe capture of tbe dtlsen and
the boy waa to bold them under Vigi
lant guard. It waa reported that Mark
bad been personating an officer of the
staff, and this looked very suspicious!
ludeed quite enough so to warrant tbeli
trying him for a spy by drumhead
court msrtlsl eud executing him the
next morning.
Meek wes ssarebsd and iiiijHihia
of value (akau from him. They want
through Jakey's pockets and felt of the
lining of his coat, but as be waa a
child the search was not very thorough,
or tbay would have found tbe Mile In
his boot Tbay took his gun, but by
this tiros Jakey realised thst there was
something more momentous than a
squirrel gun et eteke, aad parted with
It without showing' any great retao-j
tance. He realised that Mark, for
whom be had by this time conceived
a regard little short of Idolatry, was
In danger, and the boy for the first
time began to feel that BIS friend
could not accomplish sverything.
Jsksy stood looking o stolidly as
Mark wss searched till he ssw a sol
dier taks Souri's red silk bandksrcblet
He had produced -the Impression on the
searchers he bed st first producsd upon
Mark—that ho was stupid beyond his
years. As ths man grasped the bend- '
kerchief and wee about te put It In
his pocket Jsksy sst up a liowL
"What's the matter, sonny R ssked
ono of the soldiers.
"My bancbtkuff," be whined.
"Is It yours]"
"Yas."
"Give tbe boy bis wipe," ssld the
man to tbe would be appropriator.
"Don't rob a child"
So Jakey preeerved his handkerchief.
Then they were merchsd away to
gstbsr ta a esaall building used for a
negro jell. It waa two storiss high,
though ths lowsr story hsd no win
dows. The Opper part was reached by
a long flight of stepe outside tbe belid>
lng. The lower pert waa a dungeon,
add though used to confine negroes
there bad been a number of east Ten
nesseeens Imprisoned there. Tbe place
waa kept by en old man aad his wifo
aamed Trigg A. Mark was put Into ,FL
room In ths. upper story. A guard wis
stationed at tbe door, and THE only
window wss berred. Hsd Mark besn
arrested with definite proof that be
was s spy, be would doubtless bare
been put In the dungeon.
As It was, be was only guacdsd with
ordinary caution. This, however, sum
ed" qulto sufficient to prevent his es
cape. Jakey woe pot MM a room by
blmself, but he was not required to
stay there. He was suffsred to go and
come st will, except that the guard at
the gate waa ordered sot to let him
INVE th* YARD.
"Well, Jakey," aald Mark, when they
were together In their new quarters,
"this looks pretty bin*"
"Beckon It does."
"You'd better not stay bars. Go out
In the ysrd and rit try to thtpk up
aome plan. Bnt I must confess I don't
see any WAY out," and Mark rested his
elbows on his knees, and potting Ids
face In his hands thought upon his
Derilona situation.
"Jest you don't worrit," said Jakey,
"somepVU torn up sho."
"Well, go out into the sunlight Don't
stay bare. If they sentence me to
hang M try to get tbem to send yon
homo."

be so fortunate- Th* aecond day after
his capture lie waa taken before snourl
martial bald In a hones occupied by the
stsfi departmeah to he Msd an the
charge nf being a spy.
Tbe court waa snssmbl*d and ready
to proceed with the case. A* officer
had been detailed to defend the pris

oourt wetted. Preeentiy a clatter of
horse's boofa was beerd outside. II
stepped before the door of the blue*,
aad la another moment Mark's eoan

Mark looked at him with astonteb

The trial was of brief duration. Tbe I
soldiers In wbooe company Mark waa
taken were called and te*tided to hi*

Kriowing now that he was probably a
Union apy, they wouid bare ahlelded
him, but they bad already given up
the aecret Mark waa naked where he
lived.
Be had entered bla name at the ho
tel an coming from Jasper, so be gave
that place aa his residence, bat when
asked what county Jaaper was hi be
could not telL Tbe map* be bad stud

soldiers were brought in—the town
swarmed with tbem-wbo t call Bed that
they lived at Jasper and had never
seen the prisoner there. The cloaing
evidence against Mark waa glvou by
the recruiting officer with whom he
bad promised to enlist. Bearing that
a apy bad been taken, and suspecting
It might to hla promised recruit, he
went to the courtroom and there rec
ognised too prtaoner. Bla testimony

at not being able to bring forth any

they ware aa favorably lmpr****d with
