They had ridden about a mile, when
Cooke checked his horse with an ex-
clamation.
There's somebody coming like the

They drew rein and waited, the
quick patter of hoofs ringing out
sharply in the still night. The moon
light gave them a fair sweep of the
road, and they at once saw a horse
man galloping rapidly toward them.
"Lordy, the mans on fire." gasped
Ardmore.

ed Collins, moving nervously in his
saddle. It's a human sunburst."

Seeing three men drawn across the
road, the horseman began to check
his flight.

paved the air with it's forefeet, SIS

they were aware of a flash, a glitter
that startled and dazzled the eye, and
Col. Rutherford Gillingwater thunder

They rode on and saw presently the
lights of camp-fres, and a little later
were tremendously halted at the road
side by an armed guard.
1t had been arranged that Collins,

ant in the Georgia militia, should be
presented as ar officer of the regular
army, detailed as special aide to Gov.
Dangerfield during the encampment,
and that in case Gillingwater failed to
return promptly he should take COM
mand of the North Carolina forces.
An open field had been seized for
the nights camp, and the tents al
ready shone white in the moonlight.
The three men introduced themselves
to the militia officers, and Collins ex
pressed their regret that they had
missed the adjutant general.
Gov. Dangerfield wished you to

we fail to meet Col. Gillingwater; and
