Slack took the soldier into the twin

intended for years, with frequent de-

off his uniform. which. with his rifle
and pistol and other accouterments. he

his boots $50 loose that he could easily

few sticks were lighted on the hearth

been long unused, and there was a

had never seen such luxury. rolled his
little eyes about and wondered But
he was too tired to waste much time

Getting the Boat.
A couple Of tourists staying at VIII
lage which is in close proximity to a
well known Scottish loch had a fancy
one fine Sunday to go for row on the
loch. They accordingly sailed forth
in search of the boatman, whom they
met just leaving his house. dressed in
his Sunday best and carrying a Bible
under his arm.

of the tourists.

the house of lords. What happened
there is described in Grevilles mem

They'll probably lift me OF ny feet

They won't, viii they? Don't talk
that away"
She looked at him with her black
eyes and shivered.
1 guess can get through all right"
said Mark reassur1ngly. I've done it
before"
The girl stood for few moments ir-
resoiute. Then she drew a red silk
handkerchief from her bosom and
handed it to Mark 1t was the only
bit of finery she possessed.
What is that for. Souri?" asked
Mark, affected in spite of himself.

She turned away. 1t was evident she
could not clearly express her mean
ing, and her voice was getting husky.
"Goodby. my little girl" said Mark,
going up to her and taking her hand,
Il have notion that if it is necessary
to the Union cause for my life to be
saved again you will be on hand to
save it,
Then the girl went back to the house,
and the travellers went on their way.
"Jakey," asked Mark, 'can your Sis

Reckon not"
Can you?

DO you mean that you can or you
can't?"

Reckon she Civ v tn hanshicuf ter

Mark looked down into the stupid
face of the boy beside him. He began
to think that the child's stupidity was
not f1attering to himself, inasmuch as
Jakey had penetrated further than he
had into Souri's design, and her diff
dence as to confessing her ignorance
Il hope there'll be no necessity for
that, Jakey But we must arrange

4 ARK and Jakey trudged ON.
/ N They met no one on the way
but at one part of the road
4 a running through a thick wood
they saw light in the distance to the
right in the thickest part. They halt
ed for moment and then advanced
cautiously. Coming to a place where
they could get a view of what the
light revealed, they saw several men
in "butternut," whose horses were
picketed near by, lying around the en-
bers of fire.
"Guerrillas." quoth Mark.
Not caring to disturb these villains,
who had no more respect for Confed-
crates than Unionists, they passed on
stealthily
About midnight they came to rivu-
let. and Mark concluded to bivouac
there. They turned in among the trees
beside the road.
"Jakey," said Mark, before we go a
step farther, or do anything, in fact,
we must fix this money"
He pulled his roll of bills from his
pocket.
Take off your boot" he said.
Jakey pulled off his boot and handed
it to his companion. Mark took num-
Der of bills. and ripping out the lining
of the boot put it back in it's place
with the bills under it. Smoothing it
down, he handed the boot back to
Jakey and told him to put it on again.
They took bite Of the snack Souri,
had prepared for them and drank from
the rivulet. Then they laid down. rest
ing their heads against the root Of
tree 1t was not long before Jakey
was asleep, and Mark drew his head
over toward himself and laid it against
his own breast. Thus the two rested.
Mark slept at intervals; Jakey with all
the soundness of healthy, irresponsible
boyhood.
At the first sign of dawn Mark
walked Jakey, and after they had both
thrown the refreshing water of the
rivulet over their heads they started in
signed to happen in" at breakfast
time. Fortunately they soon found
such place. Turning into the gate at
the first farmhouse. a farmers wife
received them kindly and gave them
what for that time and country was
palatable meal
Refreshed by their breakfast, they
walked on. Various people-country-
men. negroes. Confederate soldiers and
occasionally a squadron of cavalry
passed them on the road, but they
were not questioned or interfered with
by any one
About sunset they reached a large
place set back off to the left of the
road. The premises were more impos-
ing than any they had yet passed. and
they judged by it that they were in
the environs of Chattanooga. The
house was large. square. old fash

hands as she met him passing between
the cabins, thus arrayed for secret
service
AS Mark entered the room where he
had left Mrs. Slack and Jakey their
eyes stood out wonderingly. Mr.. Slack
followed Mark into the room.

Mark.

"None O. them sideways taken.

Mark looked at the boy and thought
a few moments without speaking. He
was a stupid looking child, but Mark
thought that if he could get him to go
with him it might avert suspicion.
