reckon that gal wants anybody around
when she fust claps eyes on the feller
she loves like house ahre and is gwine

''Hu! ! see!!' chuckled Uncle Ben.

ole niger and can't be spected to hev
any feelin's onless kicked by mule or
licked by passel of guerrillas -
Ben then told him of the discoveries
made at the house and of his belief that
his victim was Ike Baxter, and Steve
looked very serious as be replied:
"Then yo' kin bet we ar in fur red
hot time! Ike Baxter will be back befo'
noon with gang at his heels, and the
chances ar that somebody will git
shot!''
At this moment Marian called to
them, and as they entered the camp they
found her dressing Kenton's 3 wound and
preparing for his immediate removal to
the house. While the raiding party had
stolen the horses, as before mentioned.

left the house an hour or ,as=c before,
but she might have been dying then.
The old mans first thought was to hur-
ry back to camp and tell the girl what
had occurred, but as he moved away he
checked himself and muttered:
Jest wait now till we fgger leetle.
De good Lawd has dun tooken de missus
away, an my ole hearts ready to break
wild sorrow, but mustn't give up to de
feelin. Dar's Miss Sunshine, an dar's
Mars Kenton an dat soger Steve, dey's
all alive an in danger. If I tole Miss
Sunshine, she couldn't dc muffin now
'cept to wing her hands an cry. No. l
won't go back dar! I'll hurry up an
find dem Yankees an tell 'em to cum as
quick as dey kln!''
He had turned about in his tracks
when he heard great clatter up the
road, and next minute he was surround
ed by about 20 mounted men. Some
were in uniform, and among these he
noticed one with hishead bandaged and
at once identified him as Ike Baxter.
There were others in citizens dress, and
while he was wondering who they might
be one of them laughingly exclaimed:
"Hello, yo' old son of satan! How
does yo' un feel after the lickin 20 got
last night?''
There was sergeant in command Of
the squad, but Ike Baxter appeared to
direct operations. He at first drew bis
saber as if to give the old negro cut,
but checking himself he said:
Nov, men, look alive! Some of yo'
uns search the house. and drag out that
cussed Yankee and Steve Brayton, and
the rest Of us will drive stake and find
chain and some frewood! I'm goin
to burn this old niger alive fur tryin
to kill me last night!''

"Stop" she. cried.

tonishmept, and for half a minute not a
word was said. It was Marian Percy.
She was known by sight to at least half
of the gang, and the others at once iden-
titled her as ..the gal" they had expect
ed to find in the house. Let US go back
a little. When Uncle Ben left the camp
among the rocks, she had intended to
follow him within an hour. It had
been settled that Kenton must remain
where he was until force Of Federals
was brought to the rescue or until it
was known that he was in no peril from
the ConfederaSes. While it was hoped
that Uncle Ben's mission would be sue
cessful all realized the chances Of its
failure. Both armies were scouting and
raiding up and down and across. A
hamlet OF crossroads or bridge held by
the Federals one day would be in posses
sion of the Confederates on the next,
and vice versa. Uncle Ben might en-
counter troop Of Federal cavalry and
bring them to the rescne. or he might
be picked up by Confederate troop OF
a gang Of guerrillas and sent off sone-
where to work on Notifications.
''Mebbe the Yanks will ccme fust,
and 1nebbe the Confederates, replied
Steve Brayton when appealed to for his
opinion. Its goin to lie nip and tuck,
I reckon, but with the chances leetle
in favor of the Coufederates. Kin I
make bold to offer scme advice:'
why, certainly, answered Marian
and Kenton. in the same breath.
''Then let Miss Percy head fur home
to once. We can't tell what may be
happenin thar or what's goin to happen
yere. She's Percy and good Conted-
crate, and nobody'll dare disturb the
house. Them blamed guer1 illas which
follered Us yesterday may open fire yere
any mint, and once they do she cant
git away"
The advice was full of wisdom, and
Marian prepared to start at once.
''Got any we pins in the house::" asked
Steve as she was ready.
''No.''

Kenton advised her to take it, and
Brayton assisted her down to the high
way and said as he left her:
''Yo' may hear some shootin up this
way doorin the day, but don't be narv-
US about it and don't run any risks to

The old darky knew Aenton only by
sight, but the sight Of him lying there
in that helpless condition was a call for
him to throw himself down on his knees
and moan out:
$50 de Lawd an TO de Lawd, but
what am Miss Sunshine gwine to say an
do when she knows dat he has bin
shotted wild dozen bombshells:'
Kenton soon made the situation plain
to him, and then as the two talked about
affairs at the house Steve Brayton
washed and bound up the wound afresh,
made up a comfortable bed, arranged
one of the blankets for shelter and
saw that K enton ate as we'll as talked.
The adventure which Uncle Ben had on
the road was felt to be another menace
to be guarded against. After leaving
the house where they had taken break
fast and encountered the Confederate
sergeant, they had FASTENED up the side
of the mountain and headed direct for
Rest Haven. Within an hour they found
that a number of men were on their
trail, and two or three times during the
day they were obliged to hide them
selves for an hour or two. No shots
were exchanged until about 5 o'clock in
the evening, and then they were fired
upon by three men in ambush. Kenton
was hit and fell, but he struggled up
and made run Of it, with Steve Bray
ton covering his retreat. Pain and loss
of blood finally brought the wounded
man down again, and he appealed to
Steve to leave him and make his own
escape.
''Couldn t think Of it, Yank- couldn't
possibly play any sich dirt on man
who has fout 'longside o. me so often!''
was the hearty reply. ''Thar was only
three of 'em when they tust popped at
us, and I'm sartin shore thar hain't but
two now, and mebbe cne O. them is wuss
off than yo' ar! hain't been shootin
FIVE or six times jest fur the fun of it.:
If yo' can't walk, yo've got to be car
ried!''
Needing none of Kenton's protests, the
faithful fellow got him on his back and
picked his route through scrubs and over
rocks until he reached the spot where
Uncle Ben found them. He knew it was
within mile or two of Rest Haven,
and he was about starting for the house
when the old man came along.
''I'll take trot up the road and see
how the nigger's dead man is, :" said
Steve when he could do no more for
Kenton. Its my everlastin opinyun
that the chap will turn out to be Ike
Baxter, and ] shan't be overly sorry if
sich ar the case. I'll hev to git the
body outer the way anyhow, befo' any
body stumbles over it. -
In the course of 2D minutes he reached
the spot, but no man, living or dead,
was to be found. He made thorough
hunt, but nothing could be discovered.
The watchman and southron. [volume] (Sumter, S.C.) 1881-1930, 1894-06-27
Uncle Ben clubbed his gun.

Uncle Ben c(ubDcG has gun.
and next instant brought the heavy
stock down upon 1ke's head and felled
him to the earth. The man sank down
without cry or groan, and after wait
ing half a minute the old man gasped
out:
May de good Lawd dun turgiye me,
but had to do it fur Miss Sunshine's
sake!.''
He picked up his bundles and has
tened on and 10 minutes later was tell
ing Steve Brayton what had happened.
Glad of it.' replied the latter.
Reckon orter go up thar and make
shore he's dead, fur I sorter think his
name are Ike Baxter. Hain't got no
time. though-not jest now. This way,
Uncle Ben. -
They passed between two great bowl
ders which had fallen from the bank
above, followed a ravine into the hills
for about 200 feet, and after climb up
the right hand bank found the hiding
place among the rocks. There was a
small fire burning against great bowl
der, and on bed of leaves and branch
es lay Royal Kenton with bullet
wound in the calf of the right leg. 1t
was bit Of good luck for him in the
midst Of adversely that the bullet had
passed clear through without touching
the bone. 1t was painful and tenn
porarily disabling wound, and he had
lost much of his strength before the
bleeding could be checked, but he was
inclined to make light of the situation
