confusion at the men before him. He
had made a mistake; they were not the
men who had made the attack. There
was the young sergeant, and beside him
were some OF Tarleton's men whom he
recognized at once.
In confusion he was about 20 turn and
run, when he was suddenly surround
ed; before he could offer any resistance
his hands and feet were securely bound,
and he was thrown heavily upon the
ground. John was served in n similar
manner. Then the young officer said;
Eyes, you're among friends; you are, in
deed. Wen do you friendly turn, we
will. You young rascals, probably you
helped set this party on us. They scat
tered us bit, but we've got together
again now, and they're the ones that
are running. AS soon as Capt. Eddy
comes well attend TO you fellows"
John made no reply. What could he
say? He knew only too well what In all
probability was before him. Tom was
silent, too; with hopeless eyes they
looked about them In their despair.
Hnrl<l Some one was coming. Tom
looked up and saw Capt. Eddy and
a band OF his men. Their faces were
flushed. and as they came into the camp
the boy could sec that he was almost
beside himself with rage.
The young sergeant stepped up to the
captain and said few words which
Tom could not hear; but there was no
doubtabouttheir effect. Suddenly Capt.

bent and gray and marked by suffering,
crept up 70 the door of Mistress Crow
ellis home and raped.
MY good woman" he began when the
door was opened.
"Mcrcy on u.s." exclaimed the woman.
Its Judge Williams"
II was Judge Williams once. Now
I'm an outcast. I've been in the woods
two days and two nights. This morn
ing came out; and there, hanging from
long limb which reached out over the
road, were two bodies"
The woman was gazing at him now
with an expression of agony ON her
face. She tried TO speak, but the words
would not come.
'Was one of them Tom?" 1T was
Nancy, Toms sister. who was speaking,
and her voice was low and firm.
"Yes," replied the judge. softly. Il
thought you ought to know
Pm going there. said Nancy, firmly.
"No. nol"interrupted the judge, quick
| ly. There's placard warning every
one against cutting him down or giving
him Christian burial. OH it's horrible,
horrible! Were ever such villains on
earth before"'
'Im going there" repeated Nancy,
quietly. "Come Betty, you come with
me. Mother, you'd better lie down
while I'm gone. I'll be back soon."
The Judge stopped as he entered the
road and watched Nancy and her
younger sister as they passed out of
sight.
On went the girls, neither speaking,
until at last they came in sight of some
thing that caused them both 10 stop. A
sob which Nancy could not check eS-
caped her, and she covered her face
with her hands.
"Im afraid, Nancy" whispered Betty.
"Let's go home"
"No," replied Nancy, firmly, well go
on now"
The resolute girl went through her
terrible task almost unaided. A shall
low grave just within the borders of
the forest was dug, and there both the
young soldiers were laid for their final
rest.
"Where you going now, Nancy?" in
quired Betty, when, after their return
10 the house, Nancy started forth
again.
I'm going there with these" She
held up two little flags which one OF
Sumter's men had given her not long
before. Flags were scarce in those
days, and Nancy had priced them the
more highly in consequence. She would
put these to good use. The head OF
each grave was soon surmounted by a
tiny flag. A wreath Of wild summer
roses was made and reverently placed
on each mound. Then, satisfied that
her duty was done, Nancy stepped out
into the road, TO return.
Nancy, there's n red coat" whis.
