1 lifted her up behind him in his saddle. Away went Emma behind the brave | general. riding at the head of the 1 gailoping horses. She tingled from ] head to foot with excitement and | pleasure. What would her brother | say when he heard of it? He would ! hear of 1t, thought Emma as she rode along. even If he never saw his little sister again.
 From time to time as they rode on Emma would tell the general which ! way to turn. and just as she directed be and all his men would go. They rode through brake and bramble, : across swamps where the horses sank up to their knees and across pebbly streams.
 Just then Emma heard a hissing whistle in the air.
 What was that, General Forrest?" she asked eagerly.
 Bullets" said the general calmly. Are you afraid?"
 "Noi" said Emma, and indeed she wasn't, for as she rode behind the brave general it seemed as if nothing could harm her. But tho general feared more than did Emma, for with | Northern sharpshooters, lodging from tree to tree on a ridge, at no very great distance across the creek.
 Now the way to the ford lay through the densest sort of under. growth, but the little girl who had ranged through this wild country oft en with her brother, was not for second uncertain of the way. After they had gonesa few paces General Forrest saw that he could not pro. ceed any farther on horseback. He had the utmost confidence that Emma was leading him the right way and he was determined to continue as she directed. So he gave orders for his men to halt, and then, dismounting, hitched his own horse to a tree and told Emma that she would have to lead him the rest of the way on foot
 At first Emma took firm hold of the generals hand to lead him through the thicket and then, hearing another hissing bullet pass near by, she stepped in front of the general.
 They wouldn't fire on a girl" she said, so if I take the lead we will surely be safe"
 
 danger, but inStead of taking the rear he insisted on taking the lead himself. He walked along with Emma behind him to tell him which way to turn. Presently they came to the ford-a broad place in the creek where the water was shallow enough for the horses to pass over without danger of losing their footing.
 The general scanned the opening with a critical eye, and then silent iy he returned with Emma to his rear he insisted on taking the waiting men. Then he re-mounted, with Emma, who insisted on staying by his side, and ordered his axe-men to advance with him and clear the road. In wonderfully short time the work was completed and then with spIendidly military order that made Emma's heart beat with pride, the brave general led his entire CO.,. umn across the ford, her ford, as Emma called it, unharmed and un- scratched.
 Emma's services as a guide were at an end, and before the general would go on to pursue the enSUsy he insicted on sending one of his horse. men back home with her through The road they had cleared so speedily.
 And now my brave young lady, what may I do for you to repay yon in part for the invaluable services you have done me and the army server General Forrest had no idea hat Emma would have any request to make, but he asked her as a mat ter of courtesy.
 Emma looked up at him with eager. ness dancing in her pretty eyes.
 The Northern soldiers on ahead have my brother prisoner" she sad Please. good General Forrest, go ahead and gain a victory and set my brother free"
 The general smiled grimly at this request, which was not easily grant, ed. He took his watch from his pock. ct and looked at 1t thoughtfuiiy.
 Tt is just five minutes to eleven" he said Tomorrow at exactly the same time. at five minutes to elev- en, your brother shall be returned to you"
 The brave girl brsathed a sigh of l joy. and never for a second doubted the generals ability to keep his promise. Some of the soldiers who heard Forests speech started with l surprise at his confidence. Tn a mo- ment more Emma was on her way back home and the general aEd his men were galloping on to victory. At exactly ten o'clock the next morning, after one of the bTavest ! and most remarkable cavalry pursuits the world has ever known, General | Forrest captured the entire North- ern detachment sin which Emma"s ! brother was captive.
 i In fifty-fve minutes-at exactly | five minutes 10 eleven-the young | soldier retuT1ed unharmed to his lit- tle home and to his sister who had earned his freedom.
