No answer
He took hold OF the figures shoulder
and shook it.
Still no reply.
Turning Sour over he at once recog-
nized the face of the 'mulatto girl"
In an instant he saw through the
ruse that had been practiced. With
out stopping to interrogate her. he
rushed from the room past the sentinel
at the door and out to the g~uardhouse.
There be gave the alarm. and in a mo
ment the whole guard was In motion.
Souri, hoped that the sentinel at the
door would join In the chase. in which
event she intended to 60 to Jakey's
room. get him out and attempt to es-
cape. But the soldier only went as
far as the door at the head Of the long
staircase. Then. remembering that he
would doubtless be punished for let
ting one prisoner escape, and that
there were several negroes in the
"black hole for him to guard. he went
no farther.
In five minutes Souri, heard the bark
ing of hounds without.
No word was sent to headquarters
regarding Marks escape till the hounds
had followed the scent TO the river
and there lost it. Then n of the
guards was sen in to report he whole
affair. Being an infantryman, he was
obliged TO walk. which took time. Cav
airy was the only arm Of the service
capable of following the escaped man
with a chance of success, and cavalry
must be ferried across the river or or
dered from Dallas. Oh the other side,
ten miles above. The latter course was
chosen. and two squadrons were eli
rected TO proceed at once, the one TO
throw a chain guard across the neck of
Moccasin point. the other to scour the
river bank for a distance of several
miles below. Had there been any cav
airy nearer. Mark would have had a
very slender chance 70 get away. AS
it was. he barely escaped one of tle
squadrons.
About noon the provost marshal sent
for Sour and Jakey with q view to
gaining from them whatever be might

thankful to Jakey. thankful to Laura

something especially engaging in Miss

as she regarded him an enemy to her

And Jakey! Would they injure a mere
boy: He vowed that If he should es-

would have his revenge.
