roughly, this foolishness has surely
gone far enough. Peters, what are

glance back to discover if the others
followed us, the sergeant advised me,
with an oath, to keep my eyes to the
front. l obeyed him.
1t must have been nearly the end
of the afternoon. We had certainly
traversed several miles, and were then
moving almost directly south upon a
well-defined pike, the name of which
never knew. All the party were
travelling close together, when the
scout, who throughout the day had
been kept a few hundred yards in
advance, came back toward us on a
run, his hand flung up in an urgent
warning to halt.
What is it, Steele?" Brennan ques-
toned, squirting forward to meet him.

He was, sir, but no papers were

easily toward me- Like flash the

He was too old a soldier to have
his judgment doubted, and he was
evidently convinced. Brennan glanced
quickly about. However he may
have sneered at the report, he was
not rash enough to chance so grave a
mistake

the right" he commanded sharply.

men, and one of you stand over him

CHAPTER X.
A Woman's Tenderness.

Youth is never largely given to re,
Election. which is the gift of years /;
and although my life had in measure
rendered me more thoughtful than ]
might have proven under ordinary
conditions, yet it is to be frankly con
fessed, by one deslrous of writing
merely the truth, that l generally
acted more upon impulse than reason
AS l stood forth in the sunlight of
that lonely mountain road, my hands
securely bound behind my back. the

upon his gun and watched us, ]

ton with my guards. who, as l now
perceived, were far from being the
rough banditti had at first imagined.
Judging from their faces and language
they We're intelligent enough young
fellows, such as I had often found in
the ranks of the Federal army. But
1 realized they could aid me little,
II any. in the one thing I most de-
sired to know, and even if they could,
a sense of delicacy would have caused
me to hesitate in asking those per-
tsonal questions that burned upon my
lips. My deep and abiding respect for
this woman whom had so strangely
met, and with whom l 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
iof 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,-
and as soldier 1 realized all it's
dangers,-I gave it but little considera-
ton. Usually quick of wit, fertile in
'expedients, ever ready to take ad-
vantage of each opportunity, l had
taken stock Of all my surroundings,
yet discovered nowhere the slightest
opening for escape. The vigilance of
the guard, as we'll as the thorough
manner in which I was bound, rend-
cred any such attempt the merest
madness. Realizing this, with the
fatalism of veteran resigned myself
in all patience to what must be.
Then 1t was that other thoughts
came surging upon me in a series of
anterrogatories, which no knowledge
possessed could possibly answer. Who
was this proud, womanly woman who
called herself Edith Brennan? She
had been at some pains to inform me
that she was married, yet there was
that about her-her bearing, her man
ner-which could not in the least
reconcile with that thought. Her ex-
IRENE youthfulness made me feel 1t
improbable, and the impression re-
manned with me that she intended to
make some explanation of her words,
when the coming Of Bungay inter-
rupted US. How they might be ex-
planned I could not imagine; / merely
struggled against accepting what /
longed to believe untrue. And this

your replies to my questions. You
claim to have been the bearer Of
dispatches, and hence no spy, yet you
possess nothing to substantiate your
claim. AS your regiment is with Lee,
presume you were seeking Long
street. Were your dispatches deliv-
ered?"

by yourself?"

me, and who continued the journey

General Sheridan" exclaimed in.
dignantly, you must surely forget
that l am an officer of the Confeder-
ate Army. You certainly have no
reason to expect that 1 will so far
disregard my obvious duty as to an
swer such question"
"Your refusal to explain why you
were hiding within our lines is ample
reason for my insistence," he said
tartly, land 1 am not accustomed to
treating spies with any great consid-
Grafton, even when they claim Rebel
commissions. You are not the first
| to seek escape in that way. Was
your despatch the cause of the hurried

This last question was hurled d.
rectly at me, and l noticed that every
eye in the room was eagerly scanning
my face. l had the quick, fiery tenn
per of boy then, and my cheeks
flushed.
Il positively decline to answer one
word relative to the dispatches in
trusted to me- I said deliberately,
and my voice shook with sudden rush
of anger "And no officer who did
not dishonor the uniform he wore
would insult me with the question"
A bombshell exploding in the room
could not have astonished them as did
my answer. l realized to the full
the probable result. but my spirit was
high, and felt the utter uselessness
OF prolonging the interview. Sooner
or later the same end must come.
Sheridan's face naturally flushed, In
stantly grew crimson, and dangerous
light famed into his fierce eyes. For
moment he seemed unable to speak:
then he Numbered forth;
You young fool! I can tell you
that you will speak before another
tWenty-four hours, or I'll hang you
for spy If 1t cost me my command.
Major Brennan, take this young popin-
Jay to the Mansion House under
guard"
Brennan stepped forward, smiling
as II he enjoyed the part assigned to
| him
Come on, you Johnny" he said
coarsely, his hand closing heavily on
my arm. Then, seeming unable to
repress his pleasure at the ending of
| the Interview. and his present sense of
power, he bent lower, so that his in
| solent words should not reach the
others, and Kissed hotly:
Stealing women is probably more
in your line than this"
| you miserable hound!" cried
madly. None but q coward would
taunt a helpless prisoner. only hope
may yet be free long enough to
write the lie with steel across your
heart"
Before he could move Sheridan was
upon his feet and between US.

sharply. There shall be no brawling

regarding this matter. Lieutenant Ca

meeting at the city hall for the pur-
pose of deciding whether or not they
would enter the firemen's tournament
which will be held at Harlan on the
21st and 22d of June. The meeting
was we'll attended and a good deal OF
enthusiasm was shown by all present,
and it was decided to enter the meet.
They will start indoor work at once

weather permits they will have ont

made for making track near the
