PROLOGUE OF The STORY.
Gilbert King, northern soldier left
Tor dead on southern battlefield, re-
covers consciousness near farmhouse
where he hears Jean Denslow, beau
tiful daughter Of the south, tell her
negro servant, Joe, that soon she must
marry Calvert Dunn, whom she does
not love. King overhears Colonel Dens-
low and the chaplain discuss move
ment to SURPRISE the Tederals. Anx-
he intercepts the prospective bride
groom, Lieutenant Dunn, appropriates
his uniform and Is mistaken for him.
Under cover Of his disguise and to
save himself he is married to Jean
Denslow. Still undetected, he starts
on horseback. with his bride to Dunn's
home. I'm route she discovers the de-
ception. Furious, she gallops of to
warn the Confederates. Her horse
falls and breaks its neck, while Jean
Injuries her ankle. Hopelessly she ac-
cepts Kings proffer Of assistance to
Dunn's home. Kings kindnesses par
TALLY win her. He later reports to the
Federal commander, Rosecrans, who
appoints him lieutenant Of body of
scouts, including Daniels, head of a
feud faction fighting Jem Donald, a
Confederate guerrilla chief. The ex-
peditlon leads King to Dunn's home,
where he again meets Jean, who leads
him into a trap. He escapes, only to
stumble across the body Of slain Con-
federate officer. Fearful lest he be
stigmatlzed with the crime, he volun-
tarily surrenders to Big Jem Donald,
only to be accused by Calvert Dunn of
the killing. King shows fight, but Is
subdued and finds himself prisoner
in the cellar Of the house until visited
by Jean, who wants protection, as all
but Judge Dunn, an invalid, have left
the house. She releases King on his
word Of honor not to escape. While
watching he has an encounter with
what he thinks Is the assassin, only to
find himself oyerpowered by Big Jem
Donald, to whom Jean explains her
faith in Kings innocence.

must ask for your weapons.
An instant hesitated. feeling that

Denslow had been fulfilled; that any
opportunity to escape was justly mine.
This giant might be able to crush me
in his arms, yet with weapons in our
hands we stood on even ground, and 1
