"Golly!" exclaimed Jakey. what a

They were now off Moccasin point
and Mark began to look for LANDING

fire, and above this was place where
the bank was low, with overhang1ng
trees. Mark directed the ferryman to
pull for these trees. He slipped a
handkerchief in one Of the roWlocks-
the only one used in turning the boat
into shore-so as to muft1e the oar.
The coast seemed to be clear for a
landing, but as they drew near they
proceeded cautiously an3 listened for
the slightest sound. The Doats nose

he clinched eagerly.

kept on by the river.
1t was late at night when they reach

slight turn to the east, and about a
mile from the quick bend around Moe

soon after daylight. hoping to meet

GLORIOUS PERFDy.
" THEN Mark went down stairs
IA the next morning, followed
wv by Jakey, they were invited
into the breakfast room.
Laura Fain was there, but her mother
was not. Mark looked at Laura. but
she avoided bis gaze. He asked after
-her mother.
"Mamma scarcely ever gets up to
breakfast" she said as she poured out
8 substitute for coffee.
During the meal she said but little,
and that was only on commonplace
subjects She seemed to have more on
her mind than the soldier who was
taking his life In his hands, and stu
diously avoided looking at him at all.
After breakfast Mark followed his
hostess through door opening into a
sitting room on the opposite side OF
the hall from the parlor.
Miss Fain." he said, II know too
well the station Of your family and
southern customs not to accept as a
gift the hospitality you have afforded.
I can only express my Indebtedness.
and the hope that some day the war
may be over and I can come down
here and show my gratitude for some
thing Of far more moment to me than
nights lodging"
he paused, and then added:
May I ask question? Are you a
Onion or Confederate grip
.fConfederate."
Mark looked at her uneasilya
Il inferred from what you said last
night that you viii not betray me-"
Il wil>not-"
"But you think you ought to-"
II do"
Mark stood gazing at her. She was
docking out of the window with trou-
bled expression
Miss Fain," he said. you may be
doing wrong; you may be doing right.
At any rate you are acting the part OF
a woman. and this act makes you in my
eyes the loveliest woman that lives"
The words were scarcely spoken when
the muscles of me girls face contract
ed into an expression Of horror. Mark
could not understand why bis speech
had so affected her. The natural un-
certainty of bis position impelled him
to look about him for the cause.
;, Glancing out Of the front window he
saw an officer in gray uniform on
horseback in the act Of reaching down
to open the gate.
"Come quickr' she said. seizing his
arm mo. no! Mamma! She doesn't

Marx took her by the hand and
