her to visit him once more; but no

There was a cnange-the inmates

chances of capturing the Confederate
capital and ending the war were con-
sidered good.
Dreary days passed.
Johns greatest distress was OF the
mind, for he could not learn what had
become OF Mollie, and his fancy some
times pictured her in sickness.
He met with daring spirits and an
escape was planned. In the light of
subsequent events 1t would doubtless
have been wiser for them to have re-

day of liberation was not far away, but
hot heads carried the day, and the es'

Ing their shadows before, the people
of Georgia were not in a condition to
spend much energy recapturing those
who would only ba a burden on thpiT

One day when they were hiding by
a negro ia a hay loft, and when the
shades OF night fell they sought the
railroad, daring plan having entered
their heads.
At siding they found a train oil
freight cars waiting the order to GO
ahead.
TRANSPORTATION was almost dead in
the South at this time-there was lit

Suddenly leaping upon the engine

that a collision was bound to occur.
They went out of the cab in hurry.
Ten seconds later there was great
crash, and the wreck occurred.
Only two of the Federals emerged
from the cut, the third having been
stunned by his fall.
Those two were Colonel John and
the engineer.
Knowing the locality was unhealthy
for men of their calling, they made
haste to leave it, always heading to
ward the North.
Passage over the mountains was diff
fcult, and they aimed to again STRIKE

Then she was gone.
Time passed.
The engineer, worn out, slept, but
John kept vigil alone. He anticipated
coming happiness, and each minute
seemed interminable.
At last Aunt Chloe came down the
cellar stairs, her ebony face beamng
