sociable fellows, and much to my cha,
grin paced so that one was always in

plan for bringing them together, and
| looked about my room for some obiec::
to assist me in carrying it out. Seeing
china image on the mantel, seized
it and threw it with so good an aim
that it lighted near the angle. One
of the sentries heard it strike behind
him, but, after glancing back, contin-
ued his beat. When he returned he
saw the image, picked it up, examined
it, wondered, stared about him, and
called to his colleague to ask where it
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.
made several attempts to catch my
hook on the cornice, having time only
to make one attempt while the SEN
tries were out of view. At the third
throw the hook caught, and at the
sentries' next disappearance grasped
my rope, gave sharp test pull, then,
dangling, swayed mysait back and
forth till got one foot over the coping
of the extension, and in twinkling
was lying fiat on the roof, holding fast
all the willie to my rope. Then fol-
lowed several attempts to dis:odge my
hook, but at last had it in my hands
and soon after secured directly above
me. In another moment I stood on
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
by anyone in the yard as walked to
the trap. I was in more doubt how to
proceed from this point than since I
had begun the execution of my plan.

KIN.
A STRANGE MEETING.

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 l had my
self previously confined Margaret was
the best prepared for her reception,
put her in it. Leaving a sentry at the
door, he took me to a 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.
l was not thinking of myself, for, con-
scious of innocence, I feared nothing.
Had l 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 l
had brought information which, if act
ed upon at cnce, 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 abcrted by the
spite of that marble-faced, red-headed,
cowardly sneak, Mcllodew. 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 if could reach the roof
l might gain access to her. Going to
the window, I threw up the sash and
made hasty survey of my position.
I was three stories above ground,
wooden cornice over my head, willie
at my right was two-story extension.
I 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
I soon perceived that poker was not
to be despised, for it stood beside
crate containing coal and kindling
ready to light, and I at once connected
the two in a possible benefit. It oc-

Soon after s'taps'' prepared to put
my plan into execution. The house was
surrounded by four sentries, and from
my window I could see and be seen
by two of them as they approached the
angle at which their beats joined. Ny

but not too fast for me to recognize the
man who rode at their head. Rider and
horse dashed On like centaur, with
huge leaps, the horses eyes not more
cleaning, his nostrils not more dis
tended, than those of the general.
There was a shock between the two
opposing lines, a shouting, swearing,
volleys. The confederates were en-
barrassed with their panic-stricken COM
rades; the union troops made wedge
through their center and sent them
flying down the road.
The general having ordered q pur-
suit, turned his horses head and rode
leisurely back.

past without seeing us.
I expected to see his face light up
with joy; instead, as soon as his eyes
rested upon us, he started, and looked
at us ominously.
''We've brought the news, general"
Without needing my words, he
turned to Maj. Ping, who was near.
