and grabbed her about the waist. She

scratched him and finally broke away.
He caught hold of her again and threw
her down. Then he ran toward her

attempt must be made when they were
both out of sight, but they were un-
sociable fellows, and much to my cha
grin paced so that one was always in
view of my window. I conceived
plan for bringing them together, and
looked about my room for some object
to assist me in carrying it out. Seeing
china image on the mantel, seized
1T and threw it with so good an aim
that 1t lighted near the angle. One
of the sentries heard it strike behind
him, but, after CHANGING back, contin-
ued his beat. When he returned he
saw the image, picked it up, examined
1t, wondered, stared about him, and
called to his colleague to ask where 1t
had come from. They at once arranged
to meet and talk it over. Leaving the
angle, they passed out of view at the
same time.

to make one attempt while the SEN

the roof of the main building.
The waning moon had risen, but the
character of the roof, sloping to the
center, protected me from being seen

proceed from this point than since I
had begun the execution of my plan.

A cTRANcE NrEET1Nc

We were taken into the house and
led upstairs. The officer in charge,
after inspecting several rooms and no.
ticing that the one in which had my
self previously confined Margaret was
the best prepared for her reception,
put her in it. Leaving sentry at the
door, he took me to chamber in the
rear and left me, also with guard out
side.
Sitting down on chair, resting my
arms on its back and my chin on my
arms, fell into troubled meditation.
1 was not thinking of myself, for, con-
scious of innocence, feared nothing.
Had been older would have known
that innocence does not alone consti-
tute valid defense. I regarded the
situation as huge mistake. But what
an unfortunate one! Margaret and
had brought information which, if act
ed upon at once, would lead to impor-
tant advantages to the union cause, save
her and any mysterious person or per-
sons with whom she might be allied,
and place the general, guilty or not
guilty, where his enemies could not
strike him. And now, at the culmina-
ton of these happy results, the whole
advantage must needs be aborted by the
spite of that marble-faced, red-headed,
cowardly sneak, Mellodew. The
thought that troubled me most was
that Margaret's life was in imminent
danger.
If I could only see Margaret, we
might together find some means to
thwart our enemy. Remembering that
she was confined in room with trap
leading through the ceiling, it occurred
to me that il could reach the roof
I might gain access to her. Going to
the window, I threw up the sash and
made hasty survey of my position.
/ was three stories above ground, a
wooden cornice over my head, while
at my right was two-story extension.
resolved to make the attempt. Clos
ing the sash, turned my attention to
what there might be in the room to
assist me.
The only implement that could pos
sibly be of use was an iron poker; but
soon perceived that poker was not
to be despised, for 1t stood beside a
CRATE containing coal and kindling
ready to light, and at once connected
the two in possible benefit. 1t oc-
Cured to me to make hook of the
poker, with which to gain hold on
the cornice, and rope of the bed
clothes, by which to climb to the roof.
Cutting a blanket into strips, made
rope strong enough to bear my
weight, and, lighting the fire, inserted
the poker at the middle, softened it
and bent it into hook. Fortunately,
at the other end was ring which to
tie my rope.
Soon after taps" prepared to put
