About five miles from tho o,o., :,


I'm: ment of Gen. Greene, lived one {
uld the most active and bitter tories i
es- all South Carolina. His name wa
1ld Lore. He was ever on the alert fo
an information and had risked much i,
on his efforts to give Intelligence to tn
on enemy. Two of his sons were unde
m arms at Ninety-Six, or the British
IS. side, and he had himself served
against his country at Camden
is Since the encampment of Cen
ed Greene in has neighborhood, Loire
n had been daily in communication
I'd with spies who were kept lowering
in his vicinity, in order to pick up
re information that might be of i'm
h portance to the British.
Some four hours after Emily Gel.
e ger had started on her journey, one
OF Loire's spies reached the honse of
v his employer.
y @What news ?" asked the tory. - t

'The --m But we will not I I
stain our pages with a record of the y
profane and brutal words that fell \ \
from the lips of the tory. :
sShe has the swiftest horse in the
camp said the man, ''and unless in Il
slant pursuit is given she will soon tt
be out of our reach" =,
With a bitter oath, Loire swore !,
that she should never reach the II u
camp of Sumter. Il
"Take Vulcan,'' said be, in quick, 7
energetic voice, "and kill him but s
what you overtake the huzzy, be- -
tween this and Morgan's Range" = =
"She has nearly FIVE hours start" T T
replied the man. 5

"Very we'll. In that case you r;
must start Bill Mink after her, with "
a fresh horse. / will give you let II

should you fail TO overtake the girl" .
With these instructions, the man n
started in pursuit. He was mounted
on large, strong horse, who bore t.
his rider as lightly as if he had been al
a child. p
In the meantime, Emily, who had V
received minute information in re- o
gard to her journey, and who was, ls
moreover, no stranger to the way, "
having been twice to Camden, struck o,
boldly into the dense forest through O.
which she was to pass, and moved I
along a bride tracksat as swift a g
pace az the animal she rode could W
bear wis'-:e.-s 80 great fatigue. The a
importance OF the W0flEe 1eran which II
she hse entered, and the enshas.asn, $,
with which It inspired her, kept her m

about i o'clock in the afternoon, sne L L
took took the precaution to sweep around md + +
it in wide circle, as some OF the
most active and evil-mlnded torres !,
in the State resided in that nelghoor-
hood. Successful in making this CIR g
cult, she resumed the road upon
which her course lay, urging Tor
ward her faithful animal, wnlcn'
though much fatigued by the ne rapid rl
ity Of his journey, obeyed the w9ad 9ad ,
Of his rider as if he comprehended
the Importance OF the message she
bore.
