CHAPTER X.

CHAPTER X.
An old mill long ago stripped of
its machinery--then inhabited by
owls, bats and creeping things-af-
forded a good shelter for the night.
as ii was our plan to travel through
the mountains mostly by day. From
our sleep we were awakened by the
order to surrender. The muZzle of
six guns pointed through the win
dowless windows and door, was suf-
ficient force to make us throw up
our hands. Our long cherished hope
and faith was killed. Our very
hearts were crushed with pain at
this sudden ending after such severe
hardship on this desperate trip.
Furnishing our impoverished bodies
in this grand struggle, now so close
to our lines, was heart-rending in
deed
Despair and detection possessed
our whole being. Visions of that
dear home we believed we would
soon see after three long years of
strife now faded. The outstretched
arms of the loved ones beckoning to
us from the farther goal, awaiting
to encircle and fold to her bosom the
long absent form, vanished in the
walls and iron bars, instead before
us.
Poverty-stricken, naked, almost
soulless. we cried out in our last
effort, "Oh God have mercy"
Who are you?"
Our answer, Escaped prisoners
OF war"
Which side?"
Union"
You are safe, fear not. We are
Union men protecting our families in
the mountain. Come out and shake,
we will care for you a few miles"
cannot write of this transition
without emotion. To recall that mo-
ment thrills my soul. Think, reader,
of the sudden change from utter de-
spair to extreme joy. Never before
or since, as checkered and diversified
as my life has been, have | eXper-
fenced such sorrow and pleasure of
mind within the time of one short
breath.
Forward, march.
The path is narrow. The great
mountain, crags look down upon
striving, earnest set of men vending
their way up through its narrow de-
files and different passes. Blalock,
their guide and leader, with one eve
shot out and three fingers from his
left hand gone, seemed delighted to
have the opportunity of helping our
party on their way so far as they
dared and in consideration of the
necessity of their remaining within
close proximity to their families.
Our path would the second day be
beyond their jurisdiction.
On nearing the top of the noun
tain there was a tall pine tree hun
dred feet high. A song bird in melo-
dious strain.
"Blalock, show the boys what
Union bushwhackers can do"
An instant level of the eye along
the barrel of the gun, he shoots, and
the song bird falls to our feet.
After reaching the outpost of their
barricade, we were happily introduc-
ed to one of their numbers daugh-
ter, Miss Bertha Hamlet, who was
to WELD the septre of guidance along
the secret path of the basin of the
mountain for seven miles. A come

quite way apart, Helen did not see

one to the other finally exclaimed,

DETECTIVE HIckEYs STORY.

when the body of Chris Berry. who
was known to everybody in the un-
derworld, was found lying in the gut
ter at Fifth street at an hour which
was early candle lighting on the Bow
cry, there was not the slightest EVIL

time was usually crowded.

young man who had Just left the old

fused to discuss the murder at all. It
was my opinion that there was dead

''It was a very sensational case, and
when these facts were developed be-
fore the coroner's jury, they brought

the murder. He was locked up in the
Tombs to await trial.

SAGE TEA WILL
DARKEN THE HAIR

There is nothing new about the
idea of using sage for restoring the
color of the hair Our great-grand-
mothers kept their locks soft, dark
and glossy by using a "sage tea"
Whenever their hair fell out or took
on a dull, faded or streaked appear
ance they made a brew of sage
leaves and applied it to their hair,
with wonderfully beneficial effect.
Nowadays we don't have to resort
to old-time, tiresome methods of
gathering the herbs and making the
tea This is done by skillful chem
lists better than we could do it our
selves, and all we have to do is to
call for the ready made product,
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Rem
edy, containing sage in the proper
strength, with the addition of sui
phur, another old-time scalp remedy.
The manufacturers of this remedy
authorize druggists to sell it under
guarantee that the money will be re-
funded if it fails to do exactly as
, represented.
Don't neglect your hair. Get a
bottle of Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
today, and notice the difference after
few days use.
This preparation is offered to the
public at fifty cents a bottle and is
| recommended and sold by special
agent, Pendleton Drug Co.
