CHAPTER Y.
GLORIOUS PFRFIDY.

When Mark went down stairs the next
morning, followed by Jakey, they were
invited into the breakfast room. Laura
Fain was there, but her mother was not.
Mark looked at Laura, but She avoided
his gaze. He asked after her mother.
mamma scarcely ever gets up TO
breakfast she said as she poured out
substitute for coffee.
During the meal she said but little,
and that was only on commonplace sub
jects. She seemed to have more on her
mind than the soldier who was taking
MS lie IN his hands, and studiOusly
avoided looking at him at all.
Jakey ate heartily. Mark noticed him
eating with his knife and otherwise dis
playing his humble origin, while he was
himself eating like gentleman. Ho
thought that it was lucky Mrs. Fain was
not at the table.
After breakfast Mark followed his
hostess through door opening into u
sitting room on the opposite side of the
hall from the parlor.
Miss Fain, he said, 81 know too well
the station Of your family and southern
customs not to accept as gilt the hos
pitality You have afforded. | can only
express my indebtedness, and the hope
that some day the war may be over and
can come down here and show my
gratitude for something of far more
moment to me than a nights lodging"
He paused, and then added:
MAY l ask a question? Are you a
Union or Confederate girl?'
"Confederate."
Mark looked at her uneasily.
Il inferred from what you said last
night that you will not betray me-"
Il will not"
But you thinl, you ought to-"
Il do"
Mark stood gazing at her. She was
IL. king out of the window with trou-
lied expression.
"Miss Fain," he said, "you may be
doing wrong; you may lie doing right.
AT any rate You are acting the part Of u
woman, and this act makes you III my
eyes the loEeiest woman that lives"
The words We're scarcely spoken when
the muscles Of the girl .ace contracted
into an expression of horror. Mark could
not understand why his speech had 50
affected her. The natural uncertainty of
his position impellcd him to look about
him for the cause CHANGING out Of the
front window he saw an officer in gray
uniform on horseback in the act Of reach
ing down to open the gate.

were much relieved whom he was well
away from the danger that threatened
him.
you are divided snid Mark, "as we
are. Now, my leetle brother hyar's a
Union boy. I'm Confederate"
There was pause, and the girl, re-
marking that she would sec about their
supper. turned and went into the house
There was delay in getting tue meal
ready. Perhaps the negro cook demurred
at cooking for poor white trash at any
rate it was quito dark before supper was
announced. The mistress Of the house
came out, and as Mark saw her eying
them both he knew that she came to
have a look at them. Fortunately for
him, the darkness prevented her getting
a good view Of him. Mark at once com
menced to probe mothers heart by
dwelling on the tired condition of little
Jakey, and kept it up till the lady was
quite unwilling to send the boy to sleep
in the barn. Sue inwardly resolved that
the child should have a comfortable bed.
Jakey ate hearty supper-the heart
Ter for the delay-and the two wayfarers
were shown up stairs to large room
with a big bed in it. A few sticks were
lighted on the hearth to dry the damp
ness. for the room had been long unused,
and there was q general air of comfort.
Jakey, who had never seen such luxury,
rolled his little eyes about and Won
dered. But he was too tired to waste
much time III admiration. Ho was soon
in bed and asleep.

"You suspect He paused and
looked at her inquiringly.

membrance. You are splendid-a

She rose and went into the house. In
few minutes colored boy came out
and told Mark that he would show him
to his room. As Mark had been there
before, he knew this meant that he was
expected to retire for the night.
AS he went by the parlor he glanced
in. The mother sat by lamp on a
center table" reading. Miss Fain's
face WAS also bent over book. 1t was
white as the margin Of the page she pre-
tended to read.

"Ccme, quick" she said, Selling his
arm. No, no! Mamma! She doesn't
know. Oh, what shall we DOR
Mark took her by the hand and spoke
to her coolly, but quickly. Call Jaley
and from there to the barn. We can
then go out without meeting this officer,
for he is doubtless, coming in. There is
no especial danger. We shallmeet plenty
of soldiers before we return
She flew ont Of the room to find JalIey
While she was gone Mark watched the
approaching horscman. He was a fine
specimen OF n southern man-tall and
slender, with long black hair, mustaChe
and goatce and fine black eye. lie
looked, as he came riding mp the road

gentleman.
Before he had dismOunted Mark and
Jaliey were on their way 10 the barn.

Of the read running through a thick
wood they saw light in the distance
tc the right in the thicltest part. They
halted for q moment and then advanced
cautiously. Coming to Il place where
they cou1l get q view Of what the light
revealed, they saw several men in "but-
tcrnut,' whose horses were piclleted
noar BY, lying around the embors of fire.
"Gnerrillss," quoth Mark.
Not caring to disturb these villains,
who had 20 more respect for Confed-
eratos than Unionists, they passed on
steGlthily.
About midnight they came to rivu-
let, and Mark concluded to bivouac
slere. They turned in among the trees
beside the road
"Jakey," said Mark, "bcfcre we so

Jaiiey pulled of his boot and handed it
10 his companion. Mark took number
of bills, and ripping ont the lining the
boot put it back in its place with the
bills under it. Smoothing it down, he
handed the boot back to JaAey and told
him to PIT it on again.
