e--lef by wnip or spur Closer and
closer upon me came rushing down
that pounding Of ron hoofs on the
hard path. Heavens how like a very
demon the man rode! AS trooper
could not withhold admiration from
the reckless audacity with which the
vengeful fellow bore down upon me.
In spite of my utmost efforts it al
most seemed as II we were standing
still. Surely nothing less than hate,
and thirst for vengeance bitter as
death. implacable as fate, could ride
like that through the black night on
the track Of hunted man!
was able to trace dimly his out
lines now as he rose on an eminencs
in my rear, his horse looming dark
against the sky, like those giant
steeds that snorted fire in my child 8
picture-books at home, and then, with
increasingly louder thunder of hoof-
beats, he came charging straight down
toward me. In sheer desperation
glanced on either side, seeking some
avenue of escape, but the high banks
were unscalabls; my sole remaining
hope lay in shot which should drop
that crazed brute before he struck
and crushed me. Riding my best,
with all the practised skill of the
service, / swung my body sideways,
bracing myself firmly in the deep sad
die, and took steady aim. The ham
mer came down with a dull, dead
click, the revolver was chargless, and
with an exclamation of baffled rage
/ hurled the useless weapon full at
the advancing brute. Almost at the
instant we struck, my horse went
down with the impetus, while over
us both, as If shot from a cannon,
plunged our purBuer, his horse turn
ing a complete somersault, the rider
falling SO close that | was upon him
almost as soon as he struck the
ground.
A dip of the flying hoof had cut a
shallow cash across my forehead, ard
my hair was wet with blood, yet
bruised and half stunned as | was
from the hard fall, my sole longing
was to reach and throttle that mad,
man who had ridden me down in such
demon style.

savagely, whirling him over upon his
back, Il spared your life once tonight,
but, by all the gods, I'll not do it

Gosh, Cap, is tibet you?" asked the
voice of the other, feebly.

upon him.

Jed rubbed his cheek as if it stung
him, and I looked at him in the faint
dawning light of day, and laughed.
His peaked head and weazen face
looked piteous enough, decorated as
they were with the black loan
through which he had ploughed; his
coat was ripped from tail to collar,
while one of his eyes was nearly
closed where the bruised flesh had
puffed up over it.

heartily, "and so long as we are both

horse seemed fresh, his breath came
naturally and without effort, and
pressed him along rapidly, for my
whole ambition now centred upon
bringing the information l possessed
within our own lines. Bungay, be-
yond doubt, had been recaptured long
since, for my own experience told me
how extremely vigilant were the Fed
eral guards To one unacquainted as
he was with military customs it would
prove impossible to penetrate their
lines; hence, everything must depend
upon my getting through In safety.
Then my thoughts drifted to the
one / had left In such serious predica-
ment. II | had loved her before,
loved her doubly now, for she had
proven herself woman among wom-
en- in time Of danger and trial. How
clearly her face, with those dark
sweet eyes and the wealth of crown
ing hair, rose before me, while word
by word reviewed all that had passed
between us, dwelling upon each look
or accent that could eyince her pos.
sible interest in me. Then reason re-
turned to my aid, and resolutely, de-
terminedly, inspired by every instinct
of soldierly honor, / resolved that !

or possess, unless the uncertain fate

prove myself man entitled to her
respect, soldier worthy my service
and corps; if ever again my name
CHANGED to find mention in her pres
ence 1t should be spoken with honor.
l was musing thus, lulled by the
steady lope of my horse, and totally
iLsensible to any possibility of peril,
when clear upon my ears, instantly
awakening me from such reverie,
there rang through the night silence
the sharp clang of iron on the road
behind me. All sound of pursuit had
long since died away, and | supposed
the effort to recapture me had been
abandoned. But there was no mis-
taking now-at least one horseman
riding recklessly through the black
night, was pressing hot upon my trail
The lieutenant" l thought, "the
lieutenant, burning with anger at the
trick played upon him, has pushed far
ahead of his troop, doubtless mounted
upon a better horse, determined to
risk everything if he may only bring
me back dead or alive
This thought awoke me in an in
slant from my dreaming, and l
spurred my horse furiously, glancing
anxiously backward as l rode, but I'M
able through that dense gloom to dis
tinguish the form of my pursuer. Yet
the fellow was coming, coming faster
than any speed l could possibly con-
jure out of the weary black bestrode.
