CHAPTER K.
A Woman,s Tenderness


Youth is never largely given to re,
Election, which is the gift of years;
and although my life had in a measure
rendered me more thoughtful than
might have proven under ordinary
conditions, yet 1t is to be frankly con-
fessed, by one deslrous of writing
merely the truth, that / generally
acted more upon impulse than reason.
AS / stood forth in the sunlight Of
that lonely mountain road, my hands
securely bound behind my back, the
end of the rope held by one OF my
captors, while his fellow leaned lazily
upon his gun and watched us,
thought somewhat deeply over the sit
uation and those peculiar circum-
stances leading up to 1t.
Under other conditions might have
felt tempted to enter into conversa-
tion with my guards, who, as / now
perceived, were far from being the
rough banditti had at first imagined.
Judging from their faces and language
they were intelligent enough young
fellows, such as I had often found in
the ranks OF the Federal army. But
| realized they could aid me little,
If any, in the one thing ! most de-
sired to know, and even II they could,
a sense OF delcacy would have caused
me to hesitate in asking those per-
sonal questions that burned upon my
lips My deep and abiding respect for
this woman whom had so strangely
met, and with whom ] had attained
! some degree Of intimacy. would never
permit of my discussing her, even in
| directly, with private soldiers behind
the back of their officer. Every sense
of honor revolted at such a thought.
Not through any curiosity OF mine
however justified by the depth of my
own feeling, should she be made the
subject of idle gossip about the camp
fire.
For, in truth, at this time, unhappy
as my own situation undeniably was,-
anG as a soldier | realized all It's
dangers,-l gave 1t but little considera
tion. Usually quick of wit, fertile In
expedients, ever ready to take ad
vantage of each opportunity, / had
taken stock of all my surroundings
yet discovered nowhere the slightest
opening for escape. The vigilance o
the guard, as well as the thorough
manner in which | was bound, rend
cred any such attempt the meres
madness. Realizing this, with thu
fatalism Of veteran resigned mysel
In all patience to what must be.
Then 1t was that other thoughts

amazement and delight, He was a

right hand rested heavily upon the

of which was concealed beneath the
folds OF the long brown coat he wore.
