were mucn pleaSed with MISS BealeS
ptan and spent some time comforting
together in her presence as to the most
convenient place for them to send q
force to meet the ship bringing them.
All this was but cloak for the spy
to iearn OF the available stock of pro-
visions in Richmond and to secure Il
return to the north. While the matter
was pending she learned that there
were very few commissary stores In
Richmond. and II General Grant should
cut the only line of supply still open
that through Petersburg capital
OF the Confederacy would be obliged
to surrender
At last, point for landing supplies
by the fictitious Baltimore sympathiz-
ers having been agreed upon. Miss
Beale was given pass to go through
the lines and resolved on her departure
the next day.
But now at the last moment a danger
came up In singular coincidence. A
Confederate spy was In Richmond who
was playing the same game on the
Federal that she was playing on the
Confederate government. II happened
that this person had seen Miss Beale
coming out of Allan Pinkerton's Office
In Washington Whether he remem-
bered just when and where he had
seen her. or whether he was not quite
sure of It, she knew at once by the
scrutiny with which he looked at her
that she was In danger.
All her faculties were concentrated
on losing the man or his losing her be-
fore he could take any decided action.
Appearing not to notice his interest
in her, she walked on till espying an
empty cab she called the driver and
entered 1t.
And now comes one of the most re-
markable cases of assurance under
peril that have ever been manifested
by either man or woman. With light
ming rapidlty she formed her plan.
"Dnve me to tho executive mansion"
she called TO the driver.
She was whlrled away, but n glance
ut the man she was trying to avoid
assured her that he was watching her,
though he was endeavorIng to make II
appear that he was not. and when she
reached the mansion and allghted at
the door she saw him hurrylng after
her. Entering the house. she asked
for the president and was shown TO
