"Why were you not at the creek?"

Margaret Beach,"
The officer was getting no informa-
ton to enable him to judge of US, and
seemed puzzled what to do. In such
work he was evidently not an expert.
''Well," he said, at last, you'll have
to go to the guard-house and stay
there till I can find out more about
you.' ..as
Colonel" said Margaret.
"Well?"
'Let me speak with you alone"
He cast an inquiring glance at her,
then led her out of hearing. We
watched them talking, Margaret speak
ing confidentially, the colonel with
every word becoming more attentive,
o, my God! she would never talk
that way with him unless she were
friendly to his cause. There is some
deep-laid scheme which she has been
working from the first. She is ex-
planning it all to the confederate. He
takes her hand and looks at her kind
ly. She turns to come to us. He lifts
his hat with all the grace of the truly
polished southern gentleman.
Hark!
There was distant sound of horses
hoofs, but so indistinct that was
about concluding I was mistaken when
I heard sudden turmoil on the outer
limit of the camp, with shots, indi-
eating sudden attack. The colonel
called for his horse, mounted and rode
to the front.
We three stood breathless, waiting
developments. Bullets began to sing
by our ears and spit against the trees.
The confederates few to arms. At the
front we could discover the dark forms
of horsemen charging.
''Look!"
The word came from Margaret, who
spoke in a tone so unusual to her that
l glanced quickly at her before follow
ing the direction of her eyes. She was
quivering with excitement. Then I
turned to see what moved her. At that
moment the clouds parted, and, through
an opening in the trees, figure stood
out plainly in the moonlight, pointing
with his sword to the confederate line.
Then the horse plunged forward, bear
ing his rider out of sight.
1.-The general"
We all spoke the words simultaneous
ly. Had he been watching for our re-
turn, and, knowing of our presence in
the confederate camp, made the attack
in order to free us? Or was he acting
from some purpose of his own
Whatever his intention, we started at
once to take advantage of the situation.
PUNK and I, with a common impulse,
darted to where the horses were
tethered, and, mounting Margaret,
jumped to the saddle. The intervening
confederates prevented our reaching
our own men, so we dashed through the
trees in a direction opposite to the
fighting. Coming to a road, we fol-
lowed it, and the turmoil behind us
gradually died into faint din. Then
we drew rein for consultation.

DISTANT GUNS.

A faint tinge of light appeared in the
east. The moon, whose tipped face
was sinking in the west as though it
were dropping asleep after it's nightly
vigil, began to lose it's golden hue and
take on a silver gray under the COM
ing sunlight. There was the hush which
precedes the opening of day. Here and
there on either shore bird that had
not yet set out for it's winter resort
was chattering over its work of get
ting breakfast. Above US was an is
land, and half mile above the island
was Doughty's ferry-the ferry we
sought. Pulling into little cove near
the north end, and dragging the bow of
the boat up on the shore, we threw our
selves on the ground, and in five min.
utes were sound asleep.
We were awakened by men shouting
orders, and as soon as could raise my
heavy eyelids saw a column of con-
federate cavalry riding down the east
bank to the river. Following the ford,
their course lay directly off the island
on which we were concealed. Most of
their officers were we'll clad in con-
federate gray, while the men wore any
thing, chiefly ''butternut.' They
splashed across the river, striking the
road on the opposite side leading from
the ferry.
"They're going for the plantation" I
exclaimed.
clark! What was that? Distant
thunder?'
Thunder? Not in November. That
was gun, and not morning gun
either. My Gods, it's afternoon!
There's fight going on somewhere"
"Another gun"
"OH to the west, in the direction of
the plantation. I see how is. They're
attacking Wilton, or the general, if he
is there"
By this time the cavalry had reached
the road on. the west bank, and soon
after the last files disappeared behind
the hills. 49,.
II think we had better pull for the
west ferry" said Margaret. They're
doubtless going to join in the fight,
and we'll have little difficulty in fol-
lowing the road in their wake"
Launching our boat, we pulled to the
west shore, striking it a short distance
below the ferry. I climbed the emf
hence, and saw that the coast was
clear. ... AZ" ,..me-.3 7-'
"All right" said, returning to Mar
garet. 'There's no obstacle in sight;
we can take to the land and let the
boat go. Good-by, old ,skiff,"" and /
pushed it out into the stream. "You
have served us well.'' sa} ,ts.s.< s.s
"Good-by,' said Margaret. "Go back
to your owner and tell him how thank.
full we are to him for your use. Say
we're sorry we couldn't have asked
permission to take you"
| The boat nodded, as it rode the wave
let's, as if to say: .Good-by. I'll take
your message" Just then the boom
ing, which had ceased, recommended.
"A parting salute" remarked. .Let
