was to Wei --arIan, and Ike was TO be-
come "a great gineral and ride around
on a critter."
There was no sleep for any of them
during the remainder of the night.
Uncle Ben got wagon ready TO carry
provisions and clothing and few ar
ticles of furniture and the family car
riage In which the women were Ia ride,
and as dawn was breaking start was
made up the valley. They had company
on the road. Four or FIVE farmers below
Winchester haG set fire to their own
houses and barns and come into town,
and during the night artillery firing
had created new panic among the resi-
dents of the city. Marian had been
made anxious by the story told by Mrs.
Baxter the evening before--not that
che put any faith in the report, because
she had become aware that Kenton's
position was painful one, but because
she realized that the situation would
become still more grave. She worried
over his capture and feared he might
have been wounded, and she couldn't
help but feel that, no matter how brave
and loyal he was, he would become a
victim Of conspiracy and circumstance.
She was somewhat consoled, however,
when she went to the carriage house in
the gray Of morning to notify Uncle Ben
that all was ready. His life service
IN the family had given him certain
privileges, and on certain occasions he
cid not hesitate to express his opinions.

ing up the valley. This information
added the climax.
In the Allegheny mountains to the
west, so miles away, was a rough but
comfortable house surrounded by few
acres Of land which Senator Percy had
owned for years before his death and
occupied with his family for several
weeks in summer. There he had found
good shooting and fishing and rest.
After receiving the latest news" and
sitting down to wonder what they
should do. mother and daughter re-
membered the place and its quiet loca-
tion and soon determined that If fight
was necessary il should be in that di-
rection. 1t was out of the track of the
armies, and they would not be disturbed,
and they might hope that after few
weeks the Confederates would either re-
gain permanent possession Of the valley
or that war would be at an end. The
faith of the south in it's soldiery was
sublime, and it never wavered until the
last gun was fred ct Appomattox.
To decide was to act. While the la
dies set about packing whatever they
might need, Uncle Ben was told TO have
vehicle ready for move at daylight.
When Mrs. Baxter was informed of the
contemplated move, che promptly vol
unteered to go along, and her offer was
as promptly accepted. 1t was not only
part Of her plan to maintain an es-
pionage on Marian, but to be on hand
when opportunity might offer to favor
Captain Wylo's cause. Such fight
would bring mistress and servant closer
together. There was u grim determi-
nation about the woman worthy of far
better cause. She hated Royal Kenton
simply because she believed he stood in
the way Of Ikes advancement. She
would be faithful to Captain Wyle sim
ply because it would assist Ike. She
bad always fretted because Ike had no
ambition to climb up. His excuse had
always been:
"Dod rot my internal hide. but how's
a feller goin TO startf Show me q way
TO climb, and Ill git thar or die tryinl"
The war had opened way. No mat
ter IL Ike was regarded as the poorest
soldier in his company and the last one
who wonld deserve promotion, he had
made her believe that he was on the
road to military glory, and that on his
success depended her opportunity to
become somebody" She was ambitious

CHAPTER XIV

We follow Jackson up and down the
valley because his movements are
threads of our story, and he must be
ters. Shields had scarcely ceased pur-
suit when Federal army under Banks
was sent into the valley. No one sup
posed jackson had recovered from his
defeat when he suddenly moved an army
of 12, 900 men down To New Market,
crossed the Shenandoah river and the
mountain range to the east and was in
the Luray valley before an alarm was
raised. There was a Federal force sta
= tened at Ffent Royal, and hc was nov-
ing to attack it.
An army in the march is monster
serpent on the move. Far in advance
are cavalry scouts. Then follows body
of troopers. After that comes the ad-
vance guard of infantry. Then artil-

finally tho wagon train. The highway
is packed with living, moving mass

Horses fall lame or sick and are aban-

unloaded and set on fire. Guns and.
caissons get mixed or upset in the

aid. Sore footed men stagger and limp
and finally throw themselves down and
declare they can go no farther. Here

fills a grave by the roadside. The mass

or seeking TO discover what it was. He
had fathomed it by that sense of intui-

most ignorant minds. More TO q q1iet
him than for any other reason Marian
promised to be ON her guard. but dur
ing tho day she decided in her own mind
that there might be more in it than ap-
peared on the surface. On two or three
occasions when Ke9tcn shame was men
toned she noticed the hard look which
came into Mrs. Baxter's face and the
tinge of bitterness in her tones, and
these things had much to do with her
decision.

his presence was not suspected until his
artillery began to thunder. The Fed
eral commander soon discovered the sit
uation, but he did not retreat without
fight. He gathered his handful of
men, posted them to cover the town.
and for an hour they held jackson at
bay. IL was only when they were al
most surrounded that they gave way
and sought shelter in the passes of the
mountain. Jackson paused only long
enough TO burn such Federal stores as
he could not handily carry away and
then swept down the Luray. bent to the
left, and next DAY was before Winches-
ter. He attacked and recaptured the
town and drove every Federal to the
Potomac and across IL before he halted
again.
Then the Federal government grasped
the situation, and three different armies
were dispatched to close in on Jackson
and destroy him. The battles of Cross
Keys and Port Republic followed, and
jackson fell back TO Join Lee and take
part in the battle which was TO sweep
Mcclellan from tho peninsula. The
Shenandoah and the Luray were now in
possession of the Federals, TO be held

desperate fighting at intervals.

volunteer officers looked with distrust,
but only waiting to prove his worth.
Custer belonged to Michigan. His first
command was the First, Fifth. Sixth
and Seventh cavalry regiments of that
state, known Ms the Michigan cavalry
brigade. While bis fame was national,
while his sad death years after the war
in that terrible massacre touched the
heart of every American, II Is in Michi-

memory is reverenced. II will live
