up the rocky gulches and declevi-

word was said. 1t 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 ind 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. 1t had
been settled that Kenton must remain
where be was until force of Federals
was brought to the rescue or until it
was known that he was in no peril from
the Confederates. While it was hoped
that Uncle Ben'smission would be sue
cessful all realized the chances of its
failure. Both armies We're scouting and
raiding up and down and across. A
hamlet or crossroads or bridge held by
the Federals one day would be in possess
sion OF the Confederates on the next,
and vice versa. Uncle Ben might en-
counter a troop of Federal cavalry and
bring them to the rescue, or he might
be picked sp by Confederate troop or
gang of guerrillas. and sent off some
where to work on Notifications.
"Mebbe the Yanks will come fust.
and mebbe the Confederates, replied
Steve Brayton when appealed to for his
opinion. Its goin to be nip and tuck,
reckon, but with the chances a leetle
in favor of the Confederates. Kin /
make bold TO offer some 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 on what's goin to happen
yere. She's Percy and good Confed-
crate, and nobody'll dare disturb the
house.n Them blamed gusrrillss which
follered us yesterday may open fire yere
any mint, and once they do she can't
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."
"Kin yo' shoot q pistol2"
"Of course. have been sorry that
l left mine behind US IN Winchester.
Then take this revolver. It's big
an, but guess 20 kin handle it. Bein
yo' ar q southern gal, no southern man
orter trouble ye', but yo' can I allus tell
what may happen. II wuss comes to
wuss, bullets will count for mo- than
words"
Kenton advised her 70 take II, and
Bfayton assisted her down TO the high |
way and said as he left her:

Those in citizens dress were no better
than providers; those in uniform had nc
authority beyond what Ike Baxter as
| fumed.
As Marian stood facing the crowd,
her face expressing the contempt she
felt and her eyes flashing menace from
man to man, they began to fall back
toward the horses.

One of the men replied that he thought
be had caught sight of her mp the road
about five minutes before she appeared
among them, but wasn't sure. Ike Bax-
ter said he had been following Uncle
Ben up the highway when assaulted,
and it was rightfully concluded that
-ftgitiTes were not great way or
just then they were Joined by three
more guerrillas, and the entire gang
headed up the road and were soon out
of sight. As they moved away Uncle
Ben's tears began to fall, and he whis-
pered:
God bress yo' Miss Sunshine, fureber
an fureber fur what yo' dun did fur
me, but l'ze got powerful bad news to
tell yo'i"
is mother dead?" she asked as the
color went out of her face and her lips
grew white.
She was dead when dun got yere!"
Uncle Ben" whispered the girl,
choking back tie walls of sorrow which
sought to pass her lips, Il know you
are stiff and lame and sore, but want
you to try to reach the Federal army
and bring help!"

answered. "I'll go, an I'll keep gwine
till drap down in my tracksl''
God grant that you may be in timel'
she prayed as she turned away to enter
the house of the dead, while the old
man lost not moment in setting out on
his journey down the road.
Let US see how things went on mt the
camp. Marian had no sooner left it
than Steve Brayton still further
the defsnses. The ground
to the south was fairly clear for a
charge, hut in no other direction could
q body OF men make a rush. The camp
was on the crest OF knoll, and no spot I
within rifle shot commanded IL.

cum and see what the trubble is. ~
On approaching the house Marian
caught sight of the horses and men and
realized what had happened and was
happening before she had made out the
figure of the loyal old slave chained TO
the post. She had felt terribly anxious
about her mother as she came along the
road, and she had grown faint at thought
Of, the troubles and perils surrounding
her, but everything was forgotten the
instant she saw that circle of men. It
was no wonder every man in the gang
looked at her as il spellbound when she
suddenly appeared in their midst and
cried out to stop Ike Baxter's uplifted
arm. As women despise cowardice in
man, so do men admire anything ap-
preaching heroism in a woman. Mar
ian rested one hand on the naked shoul-
der of the old slave who had trotted her
on his knee as a child thousand times,
and holding the revolver ready for in
stant use in the other, her slight form
drawn up, her brown eyes flashing, her
handsome face handsomer than ever be-
fore, she demanded:
"Who are you, and what is the mean
ing of this?"
Every man instinctively fell back a
step or two. Ike Baxter let his arm fail,
and no one dared look the girl full in
the face. For long half minute no
one spoke. Then Ike, shifting from one
foot to the other and looking past her
instead of at her, muttered:
I'VE uns cum yere to captur' that
cussed Yankee and pay this nigger off
fur smashin my head last nightl'
"Yes, that's what we uns cum furi"
added two or three others.
Marian deposited her weapon on the
ground and proceeded to cast off the
chain by which Uncle Ben was secured
to the post. Some of the men crowded
a little nearer. and some muttered and
cursed, but no one interfered When
the slave was free, she signed to him TO
put On his garments, picked up the
weapon, and sweeping her eyes around
the circle she said:
You speak of capturing Yankee.
Who is he--whore is her"
"Yo' know who we mean" replied
Ike Baxter, who was recovering his as
surance sooner than the others. "Ws
uns want Kenton, that cussed Yankee
spy"
Aye, he un's the manl'' growled
three or four others.
And you call him Yankee--you,
Ike Baxterl" she replied as she stepped
svrvard to face him. "He enlisted /
when you did. He fought when you
ran away. He has encountered a score
Of dangers to your ono. He has done
more for the cause of the south than all /
'f you combined. When you call him
Yankee spy, call you cur, and
seward, and q disgrace TO the uniform
