"He was captured in citizens dress

Boyle; ''but we might overlook that

fore the war was over. But the Joy
had anticipated in his humiliation was
not mine when in the dusk of that
stormy evening we stood face to face.
When last saw Frank Brent he was
as handsome a youth as could be found
in all the Blue Grass country, but the
two years of strife and privation had
told on him--this and the terrible or.
deal he was then undergoing. His fine,
tall form was still erect, and his bearing
half defiant, but the ashy pallor Of his
cheeks, the haunted expression in his
dark eyes, and the nervous twitching Of
the lips told how keenly he felt the sit
uation.
l gave him my hand, and said, as
led him to a seat:
Frank, I am mighty sorry to find you
in this fix"
1T have no fault to find with my be-
ing prisoner, for that is the fortune of
war;" he said, with nonchslant air.
"As good or oven better men than my
self have had to submit to capture. But
do object to being convicted of crime
which / am incapable of committing"
But there must have been evidence
against you?" said, quietly.
$50 there was!' he exclaimed, "but
from first to last the condemnatory part
was perjured."
"You refer to the murder of John
Harding, near Perryville?"
"Yes, that's 1t, Captain. Harding was
killed, how or by whom ] know not, but
do know that at the date Of the MUIR
der was still with my command, two
hundred miles away" said Frank, with
o fierce earnestness that convinced me
he was telling the truth.

"Prove my whereabouts at the timer

any Of my men before q Yankee court
martial to prove an slibi2"
"But, are there no Union troops who
might have been aware of your vicinity?
1t Is your custom to let your where
abouts be KNOWN" said.
Frank Brent rose and began pacing
the floor. while he stroked his soft.
brown beard in q perplexed way. Sud
denly coming TO halt before me, he
fxed his eyes on the floor and said:
There Is one Of your men, an old
friend Of yours, who is now in Libby
prison, who, IL he were here, could
prove that on the very day John Hard.
ing was killed / was in Powell's valley,
pear Cumberland Gap"
