of the Journal. The story records the ex-
periences in love and war of two young
men-AIiles Bancroft and Tom Bailey-both
in love with the daughter Of Judge Hen
derson. the most important person in a
little Ohio village. and both of whom en-
listed for service in the Union cause on the
day the proclamation of the President
calling for troops was received. In the
course of the story both these young men
fall under the influence of a female spy.
