Then, look ing up, I saw that Jack was waiting for mo, and, going upon the veranda, I took both her hands in mine. "Yo're the only Yankee in the world I want to see," she said enthusiastical ly. "Golly!" cried Buck behind me. Turn ing, I saw what had surprised him the guerrillas riding by as prisoners. They had been conducted to Shelby vllle by the company of cavalry which had captured them and were now a part of the procession of men and horses hurrying by. Captafn Ringold looked up at us with a melancholy stare, lie caught sight of Jack, and I shall rornember to my dying day the sad look In his -eyes as tbey rested for a. moment upon hers. The advancing army inaved rapidly on and" was soon a mingled mass of guns and horses in the distance. The sun touched baj-onets and flags flashed for an instant, then were lotst in a turn In the road. The region which bad so suddenly been enlivened relapsed into Ihe quiet of the country. Jaqueljne begged me to go Into the house. I declined. Mr. Stnnforth ad3: ed his Invitation. "Thank- you. Mr. Stanforth, but I must -rejoin my .regiment at onee. This Is-no time for me to be absent." "You shall ; come in long enough to drink one glass of wine to show that you arc our friend." I saw that he would be rot only hurt.' but.: with his strong southern impulse, angered if I refused," and I reluctantly consented to spare a few minutes to pledge my for mer host.' I entered the house "supporting ..Tack and was turning- into the library, where I had passed my tlmo while wounded when Jack guided me- Into the parlor opposite Helen" left us- and wollt int0 the library. Lib came .jug a . decanter and- glasses. In I drank t0 ,lle ho.st aild the assembled wounded. Jack-sprang forward and seized the other hand." "Major. Branderstane," said Helen, "thy brother." Great -God! Before nie stood my en emy! As at' night by a flash of lightning oue may see for an Instant a landscape distinct 1n all its details, so I saw again the events of the night of the massa cre. There were the flashing shotguns, the soldiers coining down the hill, a figure-with'rarnients streaming in the wind ; running, to me for protection. And now before me stood the man with the smoking-pistol.- Involuntarily 1 put my hand to; toy revolver. "1 am your' prisoner, sir," he said quickly. ""ou do not need your weap on." . . Helen's eyes- flashed. "Would you shoot an unarmed mnn?" Jack, mute with terror, staggered to the gray clad figure and clung to it, her expressive eyes Itcut on nie. a min gled fianie of reproach and wrath. My hand rested on my holster. 1 moved not; spoke not. but stood star ing at the group tliat stared at nie. This man. whom I had been hunting to kill, whom rjHeii hail stimulated ine to ! pursue, against whom she had even i voluntarily jXedged herself to aid me ! in my revenge, had now suddenly -ap- pea red as her brother. "I was wounded." said the otflcor. "at Fort Donelson and was brought here to my father's bouse. I am unable to endure the fatigue of flight: there fore I am compelled to surrender." "Captain Stanforth. I have been bunting for you for months." "Me?" "You." ."What for?" A bush cauie over all. as If about to listen to a sentence of death. "To kill you." There was a brief murmur among those looking on. then they stood breathless, waiting for the next sijene In what promised to be a tragedy, Ouly Helen knew wiiat my os meant. I saw a spasmodic quiver pass over her as I had seen death touch a comrade who bad beeu shot In battle. Then, cat boring her forees, she stood offtj1L !a.r facc denoting the smothered fires" of a volcano.; "May I ask. sir." said the officer, pale but calm, "why you desire my death?" "The wrong, the brutal wrong you did." I know not why some demon of bar- barism should have come to me at this : critical moment when of all others 1 . pbould have shown gentleness and magnanimity.' Here was an opportuni- ty to make a graceful acknowledg- ment of Helen Stanforth's service and sacrifice, perhaps to heal the breach between us. 1 threw it away- My abandoned puipose was rekindled was crazed by Helen's ; treatment; drew my revolver and brought U; hear on mv unarmed enemv. "Coward!" cried Helen. I turned to her scornfully. "AVho bade me pursue this man to the bitter end?" J 99 "Who promised to aid me?" i! i "Who now begs for her brother's life at the hands of a southern renegade?" "1? Never!" She sprang between me and her brother. "Fire!" She stood glaring at me. beautiful in her uncompromising furv. I was be wildered, entangled in the meshes of her beauty, her relentless will power. Thou suddenly a cold chill swept over me. as a blighted frost ncross a land hot with the rays of a tropical sun. 1 stood aghast at what I IkuI done. 1 bad returned her inestimable service ; by a miserable attempt to force her to beg for her brother's life. I had lost what hope 1 had cherished of a recon- ciliation of winning her. I threw my j weapon into a corner and was striding from the room, when Captain Stan forth, freeing himself from Jack, cried: "In the name of God. what does all this mean?" ' i "It means. Captain Stanforth." r said, turning, "that on a certain night In east Tennessee a party of Unionists on their way north were ambushed by citizens with shotguns. " A body of Confederate cavalry came down to their assistance. You. captain" "It Is false. I led my company to the scene you mention not to attack, but to protect." . It was now my turn to stand stupe fied. Had 1 been all these months fol lowing an error? "I came on the ground." Captain Stanforth continued, "just in time to witness the most diabolical sijrht I ever saw In the south. One incident of that terrible night I shall always remenilT a murder that I punished with my own hand. I saw a woman flying for protection to a man who stood near her. A cowardly cur beside nie fired, and she fell through her pro tector's arms. I drew my revolver and shot the murderer dead." "You shot the murderer?" ' I had no tongue for other wolds. This man. dear to Helen, dear to Jack, dear to all this household, wr.s not on!y innocent of the crime i !:au i:npti:ed to him. but was my aveug-r. I look one step forward and seined his hand. ; "Thank God!" ! "You have been mistaken?" 1 "So far mistaken tliat had it not been for these two women 1 would have shot you down where yo:i stand." I strode V). the door, rushed down the patch to the gste, mounted my horse and without once locking back at the gaping crowd behind nie galloped down the road after the advancing army.. CHAPTER XXIIL t.he umox saved. CAUGHT the troops just as they were-entering the city. Ail that we could have wished ror was ac complished. The whole territory . was surprised and defenseless, and a hundred miles of railroad fell into our hands. Machine shops, rolling stock in -. abundance, telegraph and all other ; paraphernalia for operating the line were among the trophies, and "on the . morning after the capture the men who ! had been employed under the direction of the Confederate government went j to work for the United States. j And now followed a rest for- three months, a longer stay in one placethnn ; auy I experienced during the war. 'It-j would have been the most delightful ' had it not beeu for my estrangement . from Helen Stanforth. Though I was welcome at her father's house, though j the family apparently became attached to me, though Jack and Buck loved me as I loved them. Helen remained ;ob-1 durate. In vain I Sought to soften her by those attentions' with which men i seek, to entrap a woman's hearts She would not even treat nie with ind iff er- : ence. I was to her a renegade to' the south, an unpardonable offender." . j I reported the case of Captain Stan forth to the general and secured from , him a parole, which enabled him to-divide his time ' between his father's house and the Rutland plantation with , his fiancee Jaqueline. who soon nursed him back to health. Cantain Beaumont was brought to Huntsville under guard, and I interested myself In securing for him an early exchange, which, after hearing of Jack's engagement, he was extremely anxious to ontain. lie was j passed"through tlie lines to Chattanoo ! gn. vowing that he would give his. life to the Confederacy if he coufd find a Yankee bullet to assist him. He was too manly and chivalrous to cast the slightest blame on Jack for his disap pointment. One morning I took my friends from Mr. Stanforth's excepting Helen into headquarters and introduced . them to the ireneral. He was aware of our ! coming and bad directed that the out- J laws should be brought before him at - the same time. "Are these the men?" he asked. "Yes, general." I replied. To an officer of the- guard he said: "Take them away. I don't wish to see aDy more of them." j Jaqueline, who had heard these ! words once before, wlien tbey were I applied to me, and consequently knew 1 what they meant, turned pale. She to begged the gejieral to spare them. He shook his headj "Impossible. Tbey are the crowning barbarity of war." "But. general, that one." pointing to Captain Iiingold. "be helped us." "Ab! I bad forgotten that." Then, turning to Ringold: "If set at liberty, bow long v.-Ill you require to get out of ray lines?" "1 will go at onee." "Go. and if you are seen about here after 'tattoo' this evening you will fol low your men." The reprieved man sprang toward I .Jaqueline, seized her baud and kissed ' ton a changed man," he-said aa he Irlsscd li cr hand. t. "From this -moment 1 am a changed man." be said to her, "and your bright eyes and kind heart have done it." In another moment be was gone. Captain Stanforth was soon exchang-. ed and before leaving to join his regi ment was united to Jaqueline. The wedding took place at - the Rutland plantation. The groom did me "the honor to request me-to act as his best man.. Jaqueliuo doubtless. having Influ enced his choice. . I gladly accepted, hoping that, since Helen was to serve as first .bridesmaid, our being thrown together might . heal '. the breach be tween us. Ten minutes before the cere mony Jaqueline was strumming Gin ger's .banjo and ten minutes after she had become .a bride was standing on the rear -gallery tossing pvesi-nts to a crowd of black people below, whose upturned laces indicated the adora tion in which they held their young mistress. I wa3 disappointed in my hope that the festivities would thaw the obdurate heart of the woman I loved. She re mained cold even when her hand was laid on my arm before and after the ceremony. Later, finding her apart from the others, 1 approached her. "Have you not one kiud word for me?" I asked. "Not one. I can reppect a northern soldier, not a southern man who wears the blue." "Be it as you wish." Mounting my horse, I rode back to camp with a heavy heart. The advantages gained by our force at Shiloh and our own bloodless con- ; quest of ucrtheru Alabama were not . vigorously followed op-- Tire eAieniy withdrew to "Tupelo, Miss., where he formed a new army, which early In the fall marched under the Confederate General Bragg through Chattanooga Into Kentucky. Oue moruing in September orders ! came for us to break camp and inarch i northward. Bragg was advancing, V marching on Cincinnati or Louisville. thus compelling the alandoument of the territory we had acquired in the; spring and requiring us to hasten to the protection of the threatened cities. After making my preparations for the move I left the command, intending to join It on the march, and rode over to the Stanforths to take my lonve. Jack son announced nie. and I sat down in the little library I had occupied three months before while my wound was healing to await the appearance of my friends. 1 was startled by the voice of Buck coming from above: "Lib, doggone it, whar's my swearin book? I've lost that swearin book what Major Brandystoue tole nie to git." A few minutes later he came Into the room. As he caught sight of me his face became radiant, and, jumping into my arms, he hugged me like a young boar. The others soon entered. Mr. Slanforth. who by this time had openly avowed his affection for the Union, parted from me with regret, not un mixed with apprehension lest upon the return of the Confederates he might suffer for his attentions to our troops. Mrs. Stanforth bade me adieu with motherly affection. Little Ethel put her arms about my neck and wouder ed.' 'Buck for the moment in hi3 affec tion for me forgot that he was a Con- f fniWnio. vnirntiii-i.i ami in.Kisteri on going with me. Helen stood aloof and at the last moment seemed more bitter than ever. There was a flush upon her cheek and a bright spark in her eyes. "Goodby;" I said, putting out my hand to her. j "Never to an enemy." she replied. turning away, j There was a murmur of disapproba tion at her act. but I did not listen to i It. Turning on my heel, I left the room and the house and in another moment ' was galloping away. I My regiment was moving on a road leading northward and to the east of the-main pike, so I was obliged to ride across country to rejoin. Large armies necessarily move slowly, and. although ! in this instance we had entered upon j forced marches, I knv that 1 had ' plenty of time. I was riding leisurely through a lonely road when 1 heard the sound of horse's hoofs behind me. I had becomiso used to-being hunted by my old enemies that I instinctively drew rein and my revolver at the same time and. facing about, awaited the coming of friend or foe. My pursuer turned a bend in the road but a short distance from me and suddenly came t. MVi mm In sight. "Helen Stanforth! What in the world brings you here?" She drew rein and sat with flushed cheeks, her eyes looking anywhere ex cept on ine. Her horse was restive, the two making a picture by no means quiescent. "1 am not satisfied." "With what?" "The manner of your leaving tthe country." "Do i take with me what does not be long to nie?" "You are going with our enemies." 1 was puzzled. She knew that 1 was a. Union officer and that my duty lay with the departing army. Besides, to remain in the country after Its reoccu pation by Confederate troops would be : as much as my life was worth. I was i more than puzzled: 1 was irritated. smarting as I was under her recent 1 treatment, "This is not what dissatisfies you," 1 eaid." "1 spent my time rescuing a renegade." "I see no occasion for you to come after me -to hurl that taunt anew. We parted half an hour ago. 1 supposed never to nieet again. Now you must needs" She paused and bit her lip. I had often noticed a great show f j piCKei nring on t lie part or an enemy ; Just before abandoning his lines. Some- i now me tuougnt gave me an inkling ; of what was passing in Helen's mind. ' I rode up close beside her and, laying my hand on her horse's neck, stroked it for a moment till 1 bad quieted tiira. Meanwhile my eyes were fixed oa Hel en's, that were glancing about wildly, as if endeavoring to find some means of retreat. Bending, forward without a word. 1 put my arms about her and drew her to me. Her head sank slow ly, at last resting on the embroidered leaves that denoted my rank. "Sweetheart. I love yon, aud I believe you love me." - There was silence, save for the run- j ning water of the creek and the chat tering of the birds in the trees beside the road. The touching of our lips, bcr heart beating against mine, stray strands of her lu'.ir falling ovfr my wrist, the moisture in her eyes, briug n new warmth to xr.y heart even today. At last she suddenly disengaged her feolt and, as though ashamed cf her surrender, turned her horse to move u way. 1 caught her and held her long enough for one more embrace, one long parting kiss, then I let her go. As ehe galloped down the road I called after her: "Y'ou forgive me for threatening your brother, fcr trying to compel you to beg for his life?" j "No." I "I'll come when the Union 13 saved." j "When the Confederacy Is acknowl edged." and Eke shot around the bend out of sight. I "1 believe," I mused, as I rode on. "there is no inconsistency, no intongru- ; ity, that does not enter Into the com- ' position of woman." We met again a year later, shortly before the battle of Chieka manga, and again when Hood was marching against Thomas at Nashville, but it was not till after the surrender at Ap pomattox that she consented to a un ion that was to be simultaneous with the reuuion of the states. i One important fact has always re- mamed a secret between me and my wife. I have never ventured to confess to her that during the war I performed one act 'of secret service. In overhaul ing my papers she one. day came upon a document got lip in red and black ink in the form common in the army. "What's ell tifis about?" she asked. " 'Gallant and meritorious services In the capture of Iluntsville, Decatur and Stephenson Junction. I thought thut when the Yankees surprised Ilunts ville you were at our house." "That?" I said, taking the paper aud pretending to scrutinize It. "Oh, that was for capturing a rebel." ; "What rebel?" I hesitated, then prevaricated. "Don't you remember the scene iu which your brother bore an important part?" ; "Do you moan to call drawing your pistol on an unarmed man a gallant and meritorious act?" i "Oh. they complimented everybody for everything during the war. But I deserved the encomium, for I captnred another rebel more rebellious, than 1 your brother." j "Who was that?" I put my arms about her and kissed her. 'My sweetheart!"' TUE END. A Glib Talker.
