CHAPTER XIV.
Became a Colonel Of Artillery.

Became a Colonel Of Artillery.
My w situation at this moment
was too critical, too full of peril and
uncertainty, to afford opportunity for
moralizing over Bungay's chances of
escape Only n possibility lay be-
fore me-there remained no choice, no
necessity for planning. 1t was pure
luck which prizes open most doors OF
life. and it was upon luck alone l
must rely now. | have often won
dered since how l eve succeeded in
squeezing my body through tina mar
row opening into the empty fireplace
without at least knocking over some
thing during the difficult passage. But
| did manage, working my way down
slowly. creeping inch by inch like a
snake, carefully testing each object I
touched in the darkness for fear Of It's
proving loose. until ! finally lay
stretched at full length upon what
vas evidently. from it's feeling. a
carpet of unusually fine texture.
The room proved to be an inner one
and unlighted, a bedchamber, as I
soon determined, for my outstretched
hands encountered the posts of a bed.
Then a slight gust of air partially
swept aside a hanging curtain, which
rustled like silk, and l caught a brief
glimpse of the adjacent parlor. 1t was
likewise unillumined, but the door
leading into the front hall stood ajar,
and through that opening there
poured a stream of radiance, together
with the incessant hum of many voices
in animated conversation, the deep
blare OF the band, with the ceaseless
movement of dancing feet.
Satisfying myself by sense Of touch
that the bed was unoccupled, for l
was far too experienced a soldier to
leave an enemy in my rear, | crept
cautiously forward to the intercepting
curtain, and drawing it aside took
careful survey of the outer apartment.
1t was a large and handsomely fur
nished room, a polished mahogany
writing-table Uttered with papers oc-

ever worse sooted and begrimed. l
thought of the elegantly dressed
lieutenant and the blonde young lady
upon the stairs-surely they would
have supposed the very devil himself
vas coming down.
It took me nearly a quarter of an
hour to get myself %tolerably clean,
and I could not have lone that had
I not used some grease that was upon
the stand. At the end, however, l
stepped back from the glass confident
that with good luck l should u the
gantlet safely.
Just as I prepared to step forth a
new thought occurred to me-who was
1? If questioned, as was highly prob
able, how could l account for my pres
ence? Who should I pretend to be?
I turned over the mass Of papers lying
before me on the table. They were
mostly accounts and detailed orders
about which l cared nothing, but
finally my search was rewarded by
the discovery Of a recent army list.

assured were absent, although they
might return at any moment. The
greater reason for haste, the less ex-
cuse for delay. But If l should chance

the garments amid that crush below.

It was an official order. bearing date

ing Colonel Culbertson to move his
battery at once down the Kendallville
pike, and report to Brigadier-General
Knowls for assignment to his brigade.
evidently the new dress uniform had
beer carefully brushed end laid out
to be worn at the ball that evening;
the sudden receipt of this order had
caused the owner to depart hastily In
his service dress, vigorously express
ing his feelings, no doubt, while his
servant, now enjoying liberty below
stairs, had neglected to pack up his
masters things.
This knowledge was the straw
which decided me; I would chance it.
Hastily l drew on the rich blue and
red over my old gray, adding the dress
sword l had discovered in a closet.
and then, wondering c~uriously what
sort of figure I might cut in all these
fine habiliments, sought a glance at
myself within a mirror hanging upon
the bedroom wall. Faith! but it was
Gods mercy that l lie
Such a face as grinned at me from
that glass, peering over the high-cut,
decorated collar, would surely have

rooms below. Serious as my situation

ing white streaks the full length of

SYNOPSIS.

The story opens in a Confedsra>e tent
at q critical stage of the Civil Wa. Cen
Lee imparts to Capt. Jayne an important
message to Longstreet. Accompanied by
Eergt. Craig, an old army scout. wayne
starts on his mission. The two. after a
wild ride, get within the lines of the
enemy. In the darkness, Wayne is taken
for a Federal officer who came to keep an
appointment, and a young lady on horse
back is given in his charge. She Is a
northern girl and attempts to escape but
fails. One Of the horses s~uccumbs ana
Craig goes through with the dispatches.
while Wayne and My Lady Of the North
are left alone. They seek shelter IN a
hut and entering 1t in the dark a huge
mastiff attacks Wayne. The girl shoots
the brute Just in time. The owner OF the
hut. one Jed Bungay. and his wife appear
and soon a party Of horscmen approach.
They are led by a man claiming to be
Red Lowrie. but Mrs. Bungay discovers
iii to be a disguised impostor. who
to be Maj. Brennan, a Federal
officer whom the Union girl recognizes.
He orders the arrest Of Wayne as a spy.
While a prisoner Wayne sees files OF Con-
federate pass and knows that Craig has
delivered the message. He Is brought be-
fore Sheridan, who refuses to set him
free unless he reveals the secret mes
sage. Wayne believes Edith Brennan to
be the wife of Maj. Brennan. He is given
the choice OF revealing the Lee message
or OF being shot as a spy. He Is rescued
by Jed Bungay.

cupying a prominent position against
the farther wall. A swivel chair
stood beside it, and across its back
hung what appeared to be a suit Of
clothing. l saw no other signs of hui
man occupancy.
Convinced that the apartment was
deserted, and discovering no different
mean of egress, l crossed the room on
tiptoe, and peered cautiously out into
the hall. It was not a pleasing pros
pect to one in my predicament. The
lower portion, Judging from the in
cessant hum Of voices, was filled with
people, who were either unable to
find place within the crowded ball
room, or else preferred greater retire
ment for conversation. Even the wide
stairway had been partially pre-
empted, a young lieutenant, as I
Judged from his shoulder-straps, sit
ting just beneath the landing, whis-
pered eagerly into the attentive ear
Of a pronounced blonde who shared
the broad carpeted step with him.
I drew back noiselessly, to figure
out the situation and determine what
was best for me to attempt. 1t would
be sheer madness to venture upon q
passage to the front door, clad as I
was in travel-worn gray uniform; to
rush through that jam was impossible.
II I were to wait until the dance was
concluded the later hours Of the night
might indeed yield me somewhat
clearer passage, yet it was hardly
probable that the house, used IS I
knew 1t to be for a military prison,
would be left ~unguarded. Besides,
such delay must absolutely prevent
my getting beyond the Federal picket
lines before daybreak. and would
hence render valueless the news l
sought to bear to Lee.
1 moved to the only window and
glanced out; 1t opened upon the back
Of the house and presented a sheer
drop to the ground. At the slight
noise of the moving sash a sentry
standing at the corner glanced up
suspiciously. Evidently each side OF
the great building was ~abundantly pro-
tected by patrols.
Something had to be attempted, and
at once. The room I was in bore un-
questionable evidence Of recent occu-
pancy, and at any moment might be
re-entered. My searching yes fell
upon the articles Of clothing carslessly
folded over the chafr-back. I picked
up the garments ono by n and took
them out; they composed the new uni
form Of q colonel OF artillery. and
we're ~resplendent with bright red FAC
ings and . %profusioa Of gold braid.
With all my soul I loathed tho thought
Of disguise, and especially the hated
uniform Of the enemy. It was re-
pugnant 70 e instinct Of my being.

Lad Has a Real Grievance

This is the time for the head of the
household to intervene, for she has
learned by experience that whateve,
she might say before the psychological
moment is ignored. In the softest
tones she answers:
Yes. dearie. mother does like you
She loves you with all her heart"
From out Of the darkness comes in
a great, indignant cry:
II don't want you to-"
Despairing sobbing follows, but i,
goes down as the musical patrol diea
away. and finally a very penitent little
boy comes out of the corner and
plucks at his mothers skirt. looking
for attention.

CURE FOR SLEEPING SICKNESS
West Coast Of Africa May Get Rid Of
Disease Through Fowls Who Eat
Pupa Of Fly.

London.-Letters received from the
west coast of Africa during the last
few days tell Of a new hope for the
ultimate conquest Of sleeping sickness.
It is known that one or two of the
tsetse flies carry the parasite (trypano-
some) either from man to man or from
beast to man. The attempt to remove
the natives from the fly areas, and
thus to protect them from the disease,
has not been altogether successful.
Any effort to kill down the flies ap-
pears hopeless.
Recent work. however, shows that
the guinea fowl finds the pupa Of the
ay . tasty morsel. Land that has been
scratched over by fowls IL completely
free from the pest. In 4 few weeks
full details Of this new hope will be
published the world over. II the ma
tises can be persuaded to keep fowls

themselves. but. also q protection
