sharp set for breakfast. The log house
Of farmer was plain to view a quar-
ter OF . mils down the road, and thev
made sure they would End something
to eat there. In few words they agreed
on the story they were to tell il ques-
tfonei, and 10 minutes later they were
at the door of the house. It was opened
to them b7 the farmers wife. She was
. strong advocate of the southern cause.
and the sight Of their Confederate uni
forms brought cheerful invitation to
enter and cit down to breakfast.
"Don't you uns belong with that
crowd which jsst passed up the roadY''
she asked as they fell to eating.
Steve Brayton took Il upon himself to
snswer In the negative and then asked
what crowd IL was. q
IT'S Kurpel Mosby and his rang.

but they DO pester the Yankees like all

The afternoon was rapidly fading into
dusk, and fire rain had begun to fall.
The cavalrymen were strung out 70 that
there were gaps of several feet between
horses, and az the prisoners were sing
ing songs and seemed tn good spirits the
vigilance of the captors was naturally
relaxed. The wall which inclosed the
field on the right suddenly ended, and
then came field which was open be-
cause the fencing had been used by SOL
diers from one side or the other for their
campfires. 1t was distance Of about
30 rods to the edge Of the woods, and
II was likely they would not only be
fired on, but pursued by some of the
troopers. Brsyton stepped into the road
ahead of Kenton, increased his pace to
reach the center Of gap between two
horsemen and suddenly threw mp his
hand as signal.
Both men were well into the field and
running vt the top of their speed before
an alarm was raised. Three or four of
the troopers on that side opened fire
with their carbines, but pursuit was
prevented by dozen other prisoners
evincing disposition TO also make q
bolt. Some of the half dozen bullets
came unplessantly near, but not one
struck tho fugitives, and in two or three
minutes they were safe In the woods.
With darkness already at hand, there
was no fear OF pursuit.
