TRAIN wREoKER SCOTT.
Tried to Commit Suicide, but the Rope
Was Too Weak.

Waynesboro, Ca, Aug 24.-Robert
Scott, colored, who wrecked the mixed
train over the Augusta and Savannah
branch of the Central railroad some time
ago, and who has been confined in the
jail at Waynesboro since his arrest, tried
to end his life by suicide last night. He
procured a piece of rope, which was on
the top of the iron cage in which he is
kept, tied it through the holes in the top
made a slip-knot in which to place his
head, moved a SMALL tin can to stand
upon, placed his head in the moose and
kicked the can from under his feet. The
rope breaking prevented him from carry
ing out his intention. The discovery was
made this morning by Jailor Ellison when
he went in TO carry the prisoners break

The officer saluted and retired and
made his way hack to his company.
But for one thing be would have sent
lor Royal Kenton and offered him his
hand and his congratulations. Both
loved the same maiden. Even IL both
had stood on the same footing in her es-
timation when the company left the val
ley events had occurred that day which
would give his rival the lead.
The first thing Lieutenant Wyle did
after reaching his lines was to send for
Ike Baxter. He was much of the same
mold as Steve Brayton--a small farmer,
shiftless and uneducated and having a
decided distaste for anything like hard
work, but far more bigoted in his Sec
tional feelings. He was not one of the
handful Kenton had rallied and led
back, but was forced up with others lat

battle. 1 had my eye on You most of
the time, and never saw cooler man

praise.

CHAPTER VI

Only a small portion of the Confeder-
ate forces made pursuit of the retreat
ing Federal army and that so slowly
that there was no fighting. The regi-
ment to which the Shenandoah guards
was attached moved down from the
plateau and went into camp. lt had
been broken and defeated, and yet il
had rallied and won reputation. Ev-
cry one of the 10 companies had been
more OF less disorganized, but the
guards perhaps worst of all. That this
company should have been led back
into the hottest of the fight by private,
and that ii should have brought off the
field one of the guns over which tho
fight had been so bloody, furnished occa-
sion for remarks throughout the entire
brigade.
Duke Wyle was no coward. There
wasn't taint of craven blood in his
veins. 1t was so also with his fellow
lieutenant. The fall of the captain and
the rush OF the Federa1s had stampeded
officers rs we'll as men. War was a
new thing, and few had served an ap-
premiership. Wyle followed the COM
pany back, but in tho hurly burly be-
came separated from it. He knew il was
Royal kenton carrying the fla. and
leading. He saw the gun broughtoff,
aud he saw General Jackson halt tho

men TO question them.
He's brick even if he is Yankee,
and I'll shake hands with him!'' said
the lieutenant TO himself as he advanced
to reioin his company.
That was Duke Wyle, the man. He
hadn' taken 30 steps before Duke Wyle,
the rival lover, cursed the luck which
had given 70 another all the glory he
had hoped to win, and be growled:
II owe him another for this, and
can't pay him off any too soon!'
The first man OF his company he en-
countered was Steve Brayton. If Steve
had given way in the knees before the
fight opened, he had pulled himself to-
gether in good shape as soon as he
smelled powder. He had been the first
man to turn and follow Kenton, and he
had fought beside him to capture the
gun.
"Waal, lootenant," f" grinned Steve as
he awkwardly saluted, Il kept my eye
on that Yankee all the time, but l
didn't hev to shoot him,"
Curse him, but what business had
he to assume command of the COM
pany?" replied Wyle. II was just
about to halt and reform when you fools
all rushed off after him!"
"Yes--I see!" remarked Steve, "but

Late that evening after the stragglers
had rejoined their commands and order
had been brought out of confusion Lieu
tenant Wyle received an order TO report
at brigade headquarters. On his arrival
he was admitted to the presence of Gen
eral Jackson, who had that day won
his famous sobriquet of 'Stonewall."
Lieutenant Wyle, said the general
as he received him, II am sorry to learn
that your captain is SO severely wound
ed that il Will be months before he will
be able TO take the field again. | saw
him in the field hospital two hours ago

nant, confused and chagrined that his
rival should be thus honored. His

IL was on his tongue TO rob Royal
Kenton Of his laurels and transfer them
to Ike Baxter, but he could not do it.

tion. The presence of the mother acted
as a restraint, and the demeanor of the
daughter was not exactly what he had
hoped for. In one sense he was disap-
pointed and chagrined. In another he
was encouraged and enthusiastic.
II can wait" he said to himself as
he walked down street. when the
news comes back here that Kenton has
deserted to the enemy, / shall have the
field all to myself!'
The reception Of Royal Kenton half
an hour later may not have been more
cordial, but his visit was more prolong-
ed, and he appeared TO CLEAN more COM
fort from it. When the act of his nom
election to position was incidentally re-
ferred to, he said;
II did not seek for any position. In
deed, had it been left TO me to accept or
decline, / should have remained in the
ranks"
This is only the beginning" replied
Marian. Virginia has always been
ready to honor those who honor her.
Mother and | both feel little disap-
pointed, but we know II will come out
right in the end"
Your mind is fully made up9"
queried Mrs. Percy, thinking of Duke
Wyle's fling about desertion.
Fully, ma'sm," replied Kenton.
81 stand or fall with Virginia"
Two days later the company left for
the front. Every soul in the ancient
village turned out to bid them godspeed
and goodby. Marian Percy shook hands
with many, with Royal Kenton and
Duke Wyle among the number. People
remarked that sho was excited and en-
thusiastic, but il her lover was among
those over whose heads waved the state
flag Of Virginia she gave no sign, not
even TO him.

which was among the first on the bat
tlefield Of Bull Run. When il was
known that the Federals would attack,
when they were observed marching out
of Centerville on that July morning to
ind the Confederates and give battle,
Lieutenant Wyle found opportunity to
say to Steve -Brayton, who had been
made sergeant in the company:
well, it Seems THAT Yankee rs with
us yet. ;"
He un's right on hand, lootenant,"
was the reply.
How has he behaved himself?"
Right well, take it. Haint heard
one o. the men find any fault"
Hes deep one, Steve-deeper than
/ thought. He's been biding his time.
If he gets chance today, ell go over
to the Yankees. This is what he has
been waiting for
"Shoo! But 20 don't think sop"
"Of course / do. The captain wants
you to make it your business today, in
case the Yankees come out, to watch
him. If he makes break, shoot him IN

boys, so as to make sure Of him"

quickly answered Marian.
"Of course. He is the only Yankee
I know Of in this locality. The men
saw through his scheme before it was
too late, however.
"Did he have scheme1" asked Mrs.
Percy.
Most certainly, ma 'am-that is, the
members of the company fully believed
he had"
What was it?" quietly asked Ma
rian.
We'll, they all think he volunteered
to hoodwink us, and that he will desert
the 6rst chance he gets.

but he leans toward the north, you
know"
mo, did not know IL. He is vir-
ginian by adoption. He owes her alle-
glance. He did not enlist until he felt
1t his duty to 60 with his state. You
did not enlist for any other reason, did
you. Mr.. wyle2"
"Of course not, but I'm q born Vir-
ginian, you know"
well, think Mr.. Kenton acted &C.
cording to his conscience and best judg-
ment, and that the guards would have
had reason to be proud Of him as an Of
ficer."
"Ycs, I think 90, too" replied the
mother.
The lieutenant realized that he was
walking on dangerous ground and let
the subject drop, but in his own mind
he decided that he had new cause for
hating Royal Kenton and removing him
from his path. During a moment of
silence a plan flashed through his mind,
and he presently said:
1T is an old saying, You know, that
blood will tell. 1t may prove false in
this case, and hope it will, for Ken
ton is fine young man. Suppose, how
ever, he should actually desert to the
Yankees and come back to fight against
