"My God. thia ahall not be! Tea be lieve that thia la due to more than an ordinary womanly Interest In Miss Fain for me. It Is not so. I awear to yon. on the honor of m gentleman and a soldier, that Miss Fain has mani fested no other feeling than one of commiseration for a man bunted for his life." "Your word* do yon credit, air. MIM Fain, will yon make my adlens to your mother? And I leave It to yon to Impart to her whatever. If anything, you may have to say as to the reason for my farewell to you." He turned quickly and left the room. CHAPTER XIII. en roi m ONION LINKS. M AUK'S first Impulse after Hts Hugh's departure was, to leer* the house at once. He tried to say something to Laura to soothe her, to excuse bis own unfortunate part In her breaking with her lover. He could only go to her and taking her hand kissed It without a word. Then be told her that he should take the risk of cap ture and depart Instantly. He waa discoursing upon the method of bis departure in quick, excited tones, when a horseman entered the yard, and riding sp to the veranda drew a letter from bis belt and band ed It to a negro wbo went out to re ceive it. It was for Mrs. Fain. It had been sent through the lines from Nas'hvllle, where her has band was lying dangerously ill. and begged her to come to blm. After Ita peruaal Mra. Fain deter mined to net out tbe nest day, taking wltb berber daughter and the maid Alice. Daniel would drive them. "You shall go with us," aald Laura to Mark. "This is fortunate. la our company you will bo far gofer than trying to make your way aieaat" It occurred to Mark that alnce be was being bunted as a half starved creature In the dlsgulao of a negro girl bo would be lees liable to suspicion aa a well' dressed man traveling with a party of aouthara ladles than In any other character. At any rate be took this view of It. and whan Mra. Fain announced ber Intention to go b* of fered to aacort the party to tfce Union Mnaa, Tho offer waa accepted, and prepara tion were made to loavo tho next morning. Mra. Fain wrote a note to tbe oOear hs command at Chattanooga (to aend with the tetter oho had re ceived from ber husband for his pe rusal) asking tor a pass tor herself, bar dangber aad two asrianla Mark took tbe atfMtosßaa*: vaatmtto Had Pastel, wfca had.

"Reckon I do. Mb." "Can you read?" "A lee tie. Missle Laura learned me." "Well, read tbe pass be may give you and ask blm to fix It ao tbat It will Include me as a servant. But you must use your Judgment." Daniel drove again to Chattanooga. Mark waited anxiously for his return. Indeed so Impatient was be tbat he tbougbt tbe negro bad been gone twice as long as be had when be saw him drive Into the yard. He at once went oat to the barn to meet him. "Any luckr he asked anxiously. "I got de paas for misses and de res', but I didn't get what yo' wanted. 1 got a paper hyar. Mebbe It'll do." Mark took tbe paper. It was a paas for Thomas Green and wife from Chattanooga to tbe Union lines. "How did yon get this?" asked Hark, surprised. 1 hab to wait while folks vats get ten passes. De offlcer go out to de udder room fur a moment. D|« wiu layen on de desk, 'n I tuk bit up and brung hit away." "Well." said Mark, "it's not exacUy what I want, but Ingenuity will have to help me through. You're a trump, Daniel." In tha morning when all waa ready for the departure two vehicles were brought around to tbe door, the one. a two horse carriage, the other Laura's phaeton, drawn by ber pony. Mra. Fain entered tbe former wltb Alice, Daniel being In the driver's seat Lau ra and Mark got Into the phaeton. All went well daring the first ten or twelve mile*, when Mark received a piece of Information which seriously interfered with his plan. M**ting a courier tiding toward Chattanooga, who looked aa if he might lie the bear er of some Important news. Mark hailed blm and asked if be bad any thing from the front "The Yankee* air gettln' tw'tb right smart," the man replied. "Reckon th' air left Battle creek." Mark argued that If this were true tber* would be confnalon on that rout*, and it would be better to tak* an other. They were not far from the road leading from the Chattanooga pike north to Anderaon, on which the Slacks lived. Mark concluded to take this road aa far as Anderson, and then strike weat with a vtow to reaching McMlcnvlil* on the other side of tbe mountains. Mra. Fain left all to Pro fessor Rhett, in whom sbe had perfect confidence, and on coming to the road In queatlon Mark led the party north ward. The change of route was unfortu nate, lnaamuch aa it would add an other day to the Journey. The depar ture from the Fain realdenoe had been delayed by the preparations till nearly noon. McMlnnvllle was a considerable distance over tbe mountains, and Mark knew they could not reach It that night He remembered that tbey would soon paas the Slacks', and it occurred to him that it would b* a capital place to paaa the night, giving them a good day of twelve boura light on the morrow to pursue tbeir Jour ney. His disappointment at the delay was compensated for by the thought that be would likely learn something of Souri and Jakey, of whom be bad beard nothing since he left them in tbe Chattanooga Jail. At last they drove up at the Blacks' gate. Mark banded the reina to Laura and Jumped fftim tbe phaeton impa tiently. Not seeing any one in tbe front of the houa* he proceeded to tb* rear. The first person he met waa Jakey. He took th* boy up and bog gad him. . "Are you glad to see your big broth er, JakeyT" "Air th' com rinar* L 1 . Bourl cam* oat of the house, her trig eye* glistening and her expressive face radiant with pleasure and excite ment Bbe had heard nothing of Mark since bo left bar la prison. Mark seised her by both bands. "Too ans air safe. I knowed It," she said, almoat In a fblaper. Bbo could hardly apeak for joy. "For the piessut. Soorl. thanks to yoo." Mark aaked no qneetlona then. Bo knete that they were safe aad at home, and bo hastened to inform tbera and the father and mother who came oat to welcome him that ho waa with a party who waa ana war* of bis true character, which they moat not bo tray. and doalred permission to stay In the house oror night Theiube led thorn around to the gat*. Da "el bad maanwhilo caught op. and the two vehicle* war* halted in tho road. "Wo will spend tho night with theao good people," said Mark. "They aro quite willing, and will make us as comfortable a* possible." Tho party slighted and the horaos war* driven to the barn. Mr*, rain and her daughter war* given tho room in which Mark had changed bia clothes when ho want throogh to tho south, and Mark was aaslgnod a bivouac on the gallery, or in tho barn, ar any ether place ho might select. Laura found Mark's uniform aad arma concealed beneath tho bod. "What do you auppoee it mean*, mamma T* gh« Mid. "I fear," replied,the mother, "that we shall be murdered before morning. These people are doubtleoe guerrillas." An apology for a meal waa carried In to Mrs. Fain and Laura, which they left untasted, preferring a lunch eon they had brought with them In a basket. After supper Laura came out and begged Mark to bring Soar! and Jakey to apeak to her. She smoothed Jakey'* tumbled hair out of hie eyes and aaked him If ho remembered bar. Jakey waa about to reply In hla usual fashion whan he chocked hlmaalf. aad for tho flint Una since Mark had known bias anawerod directly, loarl stood eying Laura from tho comets of her black eyaa with a mingled expras- Bi af srtsstratloa and antagonism. Laura epoke to her kindly, hot got only monoeyßabies in reply. After all warn aaleep that night Mark took Farmer Slack oat into tho fsrd. sis* they could converse on board, and developed a plan he had conceived for Sonri and Jakey.

The man led tbe way to his bed room, where tha old woman wis sleep ing. There he produced writing ma terials, and Mark wrote an order which, whether be lived or not. In sured tbe future of his two friend* bis preservers among the "poor white trash" of Tennessee. In the morning, after tbe pork and corn bread meal of ,tbe country, tbe travelers ugaln got ltyto tbe cdrrlage*. While they were standing before tbe gate prior to departure Mark saws Bourt out by 'the well-bouse. He went there to bid ber good by. "Bourl," he said. "1 wish there waa some way In which 1 could abow you the gratitude I feel toward you. When I think of toy fate, bud you not ap peared In the nick of time to save me by your wit and daring and sacrifice, I foel tbat I would like to make some i corresponding sacrifice for yoo." "Laws. I didn't do notben. Beside*" —sbe leaned over tbe well and looked down Into its depths—"you uns and me la too differ. You uns is a gentle man, and I air poor white traab." Tbere waa an inexpreaalbie melan choly in ber tone. "Souri," Mark went on, "I have made an arrangement with your father to make a lady of you. 1 can't make such u sacrifice for you as you have made for me; that Is Impossible; but I can do this If you will act with me and consent to tbe plan. I shall be off in a moment, and before I go I want you to promise me tbat you will consent lam still in danger, you must grant me this as perhaps a laat favor." ,'Tbe girl burst Into tear*. "Promise. ! "I don't keer wliat I do." "Do you promise?" • , "Yas, I promise." With a pressure of the hand be turn ed a way, and stalking- to tbe rate got Into the carriage beside Laura. Daniel and Mrs. Rain had started. Mark fol lowed. and bad gone but a short dis tance when be heard Jakey calling to blm. Be pulled in the pony and wait ed for tbe lx>y to come up. Jakey waa holding something out to blm, which, as be drew nearer. Mark recognized aa tbe red silk handkerchief. "Sourl sent It ter y\" "Tell her that I'll never part with It" " 'N I got the squirrel gun," said th* boy "AU right, Jakey. Keep It to r*- member me by." Mark grasped the boy's hand and then drove on. Lanra fain Vr"T-ri back on tbe cushlona In allelic*, CHAPTER XIV. TBOMAS oanx AHD WIR. MAHK designed driving to An deraon. some twelve mllea from tbe Slacks' house, wbeoc* be knew there was a road leading up In the mountains through a place called Altafnont some twenty miles farther, to McMlnnrlll*. Be waa Informed by people he met on III* road that Altamoat bad been re cently occupied In fore* by th* Union troop*, with lack they might reach th* Onion Unea. which would doubt less extend eeveral mllea from Alta mont. that afternoon. "Wltbla els hours," said Mark, "I rball either be safe emong Onion sot diera or on my way back to Chatta nooga." Lanra shuddarad. but said nothing. Mark found a very different condi tion of affairs at Anderson from what be had found along tbe road. Tbe Confederates had some cavalry fore* there and more at Dunlap, Are mllea north. o« tbe read be heard that Gen eral Bragg was at Dunlap, but with un troops sure cavalry. , "I see It alt" said tbe spy to hlm eelf. "The wily foi is confronting our forces with s handful of cavalry, while the two divisions of Cheatham and Withers are marching north behind him. and the main force has gon* to Kuosrllla by rail ua a lln* still farthar east. So wonder our gea*rals ar* pus hed and watching s Hue from Ilattlo creek to Cumberland gap. If th* Lord will only let m* get through to carry thie Information. I'll never ask to Hue to go on another such expedition." The party were stopped near Ander son by a picket Mrs. rain produced her pass and statrd that tbe two be hind were In ber company. The officer took no especial care In reading it, and when Mark and Laura came up they got safely through without question. Mark waa now anxloua about the picket which moat be passed in a tew aUaolM on tbe raid leading went from Anderson. Mrs. Fain was sou anead. anil be hoped that all would go aa wall as at tbe picket Just passed. Not a word was spoken between him and Laura; botb dreaded getting oat of An derson. but once past the next picket tbey would breathe easier. When they reached It Mrs. Fain bad been passed through and gone on. Tbe offlcer In command, however, bad read tbe paw carefully. Ha bad not noticed any mention of Mark In It "Where's your passT" be aaked. "Didn't tbe lady ahead abow It to yog r asked Mark. "Her pass didn't include you." "Didn't Itr Mark feigned surprla*. "No." "Ob. I forgot; mine and my wife's la separate." and be drew oat the paas of "Thomas Qreen and wife." Meanwhile Laura bad turned white aa a cloth. The offlcer read tbe pas*, and would doubtless have let them go had he not noticed Laura's agitation. "You'll have to go back to headquar ters and get Major Tailaferro'a ordet on tbat. He commanda at Anderaon." Mark remonstrated. He argued thai be would become separated from Mrs. Fain; be urged his wife's desire to reach her sick father. All in vain. Ha was told that the headquarters were only half a mile down tbe road and be would lose but little time. Ha made a I'.IIUD or necessity ana arovs back with apparent good nature. Tbe cohimandlng offlcer had gone to Dunlap, five miles awuy, to pay his respects to General Bragg, and would not be back for an hour or' two. Mark resolved to report his aba*nc* to the offlcer of tbe picket post. In the hope that be would not be compelled to wait He drove to the picket **"l used his tongue persuasively, but to no purpose. Tbe more anxious b* seemed the more resolved grew the captain. , Tbere seemed to be nothing to do bat return and await the arrival of tbe commanding offlcer. Mark reluctantly turned the horse's head and drove back to headquarters. Laura's heart aank wltliln her. It was sunset when Major Taliaferro, a pleasant looking man of twenty-esv on or twenty-eight, rode up to the door and entered the office. "Major TaliaferroT" asked Mark. > "At your service, air." "Major. 1 hare been detained by the officer at the picket, who wants your name on my pass. My wife's moth at has gone on, and her daughter Is vary anxious to join her. It Is extremely unfortunate for us to get so far sep arated from Mr*. Pain." "Fain, of the Fains of Chattanoogat' "Tho same." "I have beard of the family, bat bare never bad the pleasure of meeting any mem Bier of It. One of my friends Is engaged to Miss Fain. I have just parted from him at Dunlap." Mark and Laura cast a quick glance at each other—a glance of terror on the part of Laura. "We are fortunate In falling Into your bands," said Mark, "and I beg yo« will not delay us a moment." And Mark banded him the pass. "Certainly not." And the major took up a pen to write bis Indorsement First be re-ad the pass carefully. He wan thinking of what his friend Fits Hugh hnd toll] him of the Fains. He was under the i>:>i>rcsslon tbat there was but one ilnii^iiter. "Mr. tireeu." lie said, looking up from the pass, "hadn't you better stay bere over night? Tbe road Is mou talnous and Infested by guerrillas. It la positively dangerous to travel." "By no means. What would Mm Fain think of our not joining ber oo tbe road?" "It Is dangerous for ber as well as you. I'll send a messenger after hsc Mid edviM ber stopping at some turn bouse. I'll do better than tbat. TU send a corporal and half a dozen am to lusure ber Mfety till moraine." There was something In tbe man's tone, polite as it was, that Indicated te Mark that he was beld for farther in formation. "As yon please, major." "And I shall insist upon your accept? Ing my hospitality. One connected to any way with my friend Fits Hugh must not want tor any comfort I CM supply." Tbe houM occupied by Major Talia ferro belonged to a family who bad gladly given up a portion of It for tbe safety Insured by tbe presence of a commanding officer. Tbe major was given • room down stairs for an of fice, and a bedroom up stsirs. When It wsa decided tbst Msrk sad Laura should remain be gave Mrs. Green, M be called ber, tbe use of tbe latter for tbe purpose of arranging ber toilet before supper. Wbeu I .aura was up stairs Mark was looking out of tbe window of tbe ma jor's office. He ssw tbe men rids off to overtake Mrs. Fain. To bis con sternation another cavalryman, with s latter in bis belt, mounted bis bocM Snd dashed down tbe road. Laura came down at tbat nmmmf. and Mark said to ber sniUmsly; "1 ain detained on suspicion. I shall be taken back to Chattanooga," and be [>olnted to tbe courier. Tbe color left Laura's cheeks.
