yankees from getting up rain or burning

the bridges"
It was terribly quick work The opera
tor was at home In the ONCE, and almost
before Fuller had cleared the shed he was
at the desk and the first words were over
the wires. Whether they had time to get
the whole message over before the cut is
very doubtful, and not material, for the
first two lines would answer every DUR
pose. Had Fuller stopped at this point,
and himself went into the ONCE long
enough to set the operator at work, 1t Is
almost certain we would hare had the rail
up, and then all the bridges above that
point would have been burned; though it
is still possible that enough Of the message
might have been pushed through to secure
our arrest in Chattanooga. This was
another striking instance Of the many
narrow margins on which this day hinged.
As Fuller pressed on toward the great
tunnel, even his resolute heart almost
died within him, while all his party began
70 blame him for fooIhardineSs. He
feared to plunge into its dark depths. It
was still filed with smoke from our en-
gine; and he wen knew that If we jumped
on at the far end and hurled back our
locomotive at him, it meant q horrible
death to every one on his train; and he
was by no means sure that we, would not
do it. Mr.. Murphy, who had SO ably
stood by him all the while, here counseled
r
an ambush. But Fuller realized as ap-
parently no one else did the desperate
need of pressing on to save the road; and
he had made so many escapes and been
so marvelously favored, that kind of
fatalism took hold of him. He deter
mined not to lose minute, no matter
what the danger might be. 1t may as
well be said here that no prudent and
common sense kind Of pursuit, such as
possibly any other man would have en-
plcyed, could have had the slightest
chance OF success. But even Fuller
quailed as they dived into the cloud of
smoke that hung around the entrance of
the tunnel, and held his breath for a few
seconds they were still at full speed, till
he saw with a sigh of relief a CLEAN of
light ahead and knew that there was no
other engine now in the tunnel! On he
pressed, for he knew the value of the
Disadvantages bridges ahead as well as
we did.

CHAPTER XI.
A p1REcr RAIlRoAp cnAsE.


But we now had a good head of steam,
and with a joyful bound our engine, as if
refreshed from its rest, sped on again.
We had been careful to so obstyuct the
track that the enemy was obliged to come
to a full halt, and thus give us time to
once more get out of sight.
We passed Tflton in safety, and the
water station, which at that time was at
a different place from the wood yard, was
soon reached. Our supply of this neces-
sity was low, and without it our progress
would be at once arrested. We stopped,
adjusted the pipes, told the powder story
although from the battered appearance
of our only car, with hole knocked in
each end, that story was no longer pIaus-
ible, but it answered for the moment and
we succeeded in getting all the water we
needed. Had any objection been made
we would have taken it by force, and the
assurance with which we went to work
aided in securing confidence. Before the
tank was full the pursuers came in sight,
but seeing us they ran slowly, and as a
party of our men had run back and put
some distractions on the track, out OF gun
shot, they were obliged to come to full
stop there, thus giving US the time needed.
Then we mounted and sped on toward
Dalton.
It was advisable at once to get deci-
sively ahead of the pursuerS before reach
| ing this town, which might present seri-
Gus difficulties. As there were no bridges
