with Marian Percy for an hour. Thew
sat under the apple trees, and he told
her the details of the battle of Bull Run
as far as he had gathered them, of his
interviews with jackson, the object of
his scout, his hopes and fears of the fu-
ture.
You enlisted to serve your state, I"
she said when opportunity came. This
is no longer question of what a state
may or may not do. 1t is no longer vir-
ginia, but a southern confederacy. Do
You feel the same obligation?''
docs the same obligation exist?' he
queried in reply.
Certainly not. have dared to so as
sert and have almost been called trail
tor for my language. One does not need
to be politician or the daughter of a
politician to realize that the success of
the newborn confederacy means the
downfall of the republic. And yet Vir-
ginians cannot return to their homes
and lay aside their weapons of war"
THUS far / have cast my fortunes
with Virginia, replied Kenton, land
| 1t is too late to retreat now, even if 1 SO
desired. What the end will be no man
can predict
They talked of other things as they
sat on the rude bench Farmer Hastings
had constructed that he might smoke
his pipe in the shade and still look out
over the dusty highway which ran past
his door. There was no declaration of
love by word of mouth, but think that
some conclusion was arrived at just the
same, and that both were happy over it
In silent way.
Dinner had just been eaten when one
of the colored servants announced the
approach of body of Federal cavalry
from the direction of Washington. Ken
ton counted them while they were vet
half mile away and made the number
to be 90. 1t was patrol, and it might
stop Or pass on.
"You see the situation" said Marian
as she approached Kenton, who was
carefully examining his revolver. You
could not beat them off single handed,
and if you are discovered here you will
be taken prisoner and the rest of us SUBJ
jected to annoyance aud insult. You
must go at once"
And leave you unprotected?'
"Our people have an idea that the
Yankees have horns and hoops," she
laughed, "but I have lived among them
for years, as you know. They will not
make war on old men and defenseless
women. Go! There is no time to lose!
They are surely going to stop here!''
kenton retreated through the orchard
to the cover of stone wall 600 feet in
rear of the house. He was scarcely
sheltered when the troopers filed into
the yard through the gate and surround
ed the house. The captain in command
dismounted and was about to rap on the
wide open front door when Marian ap-
peared.
"Well?" she queried as he looked at
her i'll the greatest surprise for half q
minute.
"Ah, excuse mel" he stammered. 81
am looking for some one-a mana
man who is supposed to be Confeder-
ate scout or spy"
There is only one white man here
the old farmer himself. We have seen
no stranger. You are at liberty to
search.''
"Oh, no, no! The word of a lady is
amply sufficient. Perhaps he took the
other road. Sergeant, reform the men
in the highway"

me for sucker and got the best of me.
That would mean ridicule and disgrace
forever. If I don't go back until ex-
changed as prisoner, I'll be all right.
I'll sort O. give out that was tackled
by about six of you, you know
Il am sorry that 1 was obliged to de-
ceive you to save myself, said Kenton
after a moment of thought, land there
is no need to disgrace you. Here arc
your weapons, and you are free to re-
turn to your post. The war has not fair
ly begun yet. There will be hate and
bitterness and rancor after awhile, and
there will be few opportunities to extend
courtesies."
"Say, Johnny, that's a square deal!"
joyfully exclaimed the Federal as he
received his weapons, land I want to
shake hands with you! Put it there!
Can't tell but what we may meet again
before this row is over, and if we do I
hope it'll come my way to do the fair
thing. So long to your
Kenton watched him out of sight and
then walked down to the highway to
lind himself at the post of a vidette. He
was directed back to the reserve, his
pass examined, and he was then within
the Confederate lines and ready to push
on TO Manassas and Jackson's head
quarters. When his information had
been laid before the stern faced man,
whose title of professor" had been
changed to that of general within q
few brief months, he quietly said:
You have done excellently. Ny
command is ordered into the valley. 1
shall have further need of your services
in this line, but you may return to your
company at present.

two days before in hopes to remove the
farmers wife, who was a relative, to
their home in the valley. The woman
