Colonel John had by this time got

II CHANGED, however. that the very

Even as they looked there came
a flying figure through one OF the win
dows.
The man did not wait to raise the
sash.
He was in too big a hurry.
AS he sprang he carried the whole
sash with him, and there was the
greatest kind of iingling as the shat

The cause of this worthy's extreme

the spectators.
As soon as he landed on the ground
he began TO roll over and over with
considerable presence of mind. acting
under the belief that the cool earth
would extinguish the flames
All the while. however. he was bel.
lowing madly for assistance. though
no one was In a position 10 lend him
much Of helping hand.
Even in this fieeting glimpse which
John had obtained OF the man be be-

After them they dragged a comrade

II was a strange sight
No wonder Colonel John gazed upon
It with Considerable emotion.
He was the direct cause Of the
whole affair.
I, made his breast heave at the very
thought
They had stood a dozen men

the victory.
Surely that was something to be
proud OF

He knew full well these men cared
little or nothing about human life.
Whether they still labored under
the impression that the figure thus
springing into view was that OF a
wretched darby. or recognizing him
as soldier belonging to the hostile
army, IL was all the same.
Before the hunted fugitive had gone
ten PAGES three guns would have
belched out their contents.
At such short distance he could
not hope to evade the shower OF lead,
and in all probability. before the
echoes OF the volley had ceased to
sound he would be lying there. dead.
1t was terrible position.
Try as he would Colonel John
found little from which to make a

In his desperation he even decided
that his best plan was attack instead
of fight-that II he could suddenly
| leap upon the nearest of his persist
ent enemies, knock him down. seize
upon his gun, and open fire on the
others. there might be at least a fair
measure of hope for him
Before he had been forced into &C
cepting these desperate chances the
sudden change in the tide came about.
The first John knew of it was
when one of the men gave vent to a
shout:
Look! the old rookery's ablaze!"
OF course he meant the house in
which the Federal colonel had been
taken by his enemies, and where he
had defied them-the house they had
intended should be the scene OF his
execution. but which, strangely
enough now. gave promise of proving

At any rate, the fact Of the house
