"a dozen of us seem to match for four, to-

noticed that two or three others had some

but it's the fate of war, and can't be helped.
| It's Jessie Burnside that worries me the
most ~ ..-...-.. .,r- ~
| Imagine the feelings of the young girl!
Picture to yourself her trembling horror, at
| the proximity of villains whose religion was
Passion and Plunder, and whose depraved in
stincts hurried them to the commission of
enormities too shocking for the mind to dwell
upon. She was like the dove hiding from the
| hawk-the hare shrinking from the teeth Of
the hound. t''.
"An hope of the gal isn't lost vet" said
Arrowsmith, hopefully "Herrick and Long

How fur could they foller 'em through
these Internal meshes of wood 9'' T.. =
GAS fur as the frightened little bodies could

way through such difficulties as these p
Why, they'd leave some of their clothes at
every step, and wouldn't have rag left on
'em by the time they'd gone dozen rods
Think how the pretty dears must have torn
their soft flesh p
Arrowsmith laughed as, if the idea was
very pleasant one:
"They couldn't 60 great ways, that's GER
tain," replied Martin, refectively.
They may be'thin ten yards of us p as
serted Arrowsmith, with confidence.
The effect of this remark was anything
but agreeable to Jessie, for the distance was

rowsmith. "They'd be apt to snuggle into
the fust hidin place they come to; that's the
way the critters. When they're frightened,
they put their silly heads under the flst bush
they find"
"You forget that Tom Hutter, Paul Hazel
hurst, the tall Yankee, and the nigger, started
after them the minute we took to our heels.
They've found 'em, I'll warrant, and that arch
rebel, Hazelhurst, is whisperin' fine things in
Jessie's ears by this time. Tine days IL be
long and the nights restless till I've covered
him with the muzzle of my rife Little shall

| 'It isn't best to let out any secrets, Cap'n,
for we don't know what ears may hear us"
A twig broke beneath the slight weight of
Jessie's person. The circumstances added
fresh terror to her situation.
"What was that ?" whispered Arrowsmith
"It was noise p said Vantassle, sudden
ly, whose bad temper made him reckless.
81 know it was noise, but it alters takes
somethin' to make noise What did tell
you? Your beauty may be concealed herea-
bout push ahead and see."
Jessie heard Vantassle parting the aurels
and pressing slowly toward her. Her heart
beat violently; she believed if he paused he
could hear it. The crisis of her fate, it seemed
to her, had arrived. Should she spring up
and attempt to fly, or remain silent a moment
longer? She chose the latter. Vantassle
was within three yards of her.
