The Special Messenger drew
her buckskin gloves carefully
through her belt and buttoned
the holster of her revolver.
A hospital orderly, passing hur-
riedly, stopped to hold her STIR
rup; she mounted, thanked the
orderly, and, swinging her pow
erful horse westward, trotted off
through the woods, passing the
camp sentinels with a nod and a
low-spoken word.
There seemed to be no firing
anywhere in the vicinity; nothing
to be seen but dusky pine woods;
and after she had advanced al
most to the edge of little clear
ing, and not encountering the
outer line of Union pickets, she
drew bride and sat stock still in
her saddle, searching in every di-
rection with alert dark eyes.
A forest path, apparently lead
ing west, attracted her attention.;
into this she stirred her horse
and continued, even after her
compass had warned her that the
path was now running directly
south.
A cabin stood at the farther
edge.
Three forest bridle-paths ran
west, east and south from this
blackened clearing. She unbut-
toned her waist, drew out a map,
and, flattening it on her POM
mel, bent above it in eager
silence. And, as she sat studying
her map, she became aware of a
faint tremor in the solid earth
under her horses feet. 1t grew
to dull Earring vibrataion-
nearer - nearer - nearer -
and she hastily backed her horse
into the depths of the laurel,
sprang to the ground and placed
both gauntleted hands over her
horses nostrils.
A moment later the Confeder-
ate cavaly swept through the

clearing at a trot-a jaunty, gray
column, riding two abreast, then
falling into single file as they en-
tered the bridle-path at a canter.
There was only hundred OF
them-probably some of Stuart's
riders. for they seemed strangely
familiar.
What were they doing here?
She did not know. There seemed
no logical reason for their pres
ence.
This must be the burnt clear
ing; her map and the cabin cor
roborated her belief. Then II was
here that she was to meet this
unknown man in Confederate uni
form and Union pay-a spy like
herself-and give him certain in
formation and receive certain in
formation in return.
Her instructions had been un-
usually rigid; she was to take
every precaution; use native dis
guise whether or not it might ap-
pear necessary, carry no papers,
and let any man she might en-
counter make the advances until
she was absolutely certain of him.
For there was an ugly rumor
afloat that he had been caught
and hanged, and that a Confed-
crate might attempt to imperson-
ate him. SO she looked very care
fully at her map, then out of the
thicket at the burnt clearing.
There was the wretched cabin
named as rendezvous, the little
garden patch with standing corn
and beans, and here and there a
following squash.
At last, with slight shiver,
she opened her saddle bags and
drew out the dress she meant to
wear dingy, earth-colored
thing of bingham.
Dressed now in the scanty, col
orless clothing of a poor white
of the pine-woods, limbs and body
tanned with walnut, her slender
feet rubbed in dust and then
thrust stockingless into shapeless
shoes, she let down the dark, lus-

1t was worth living for

some day - after this-all this
trouble ended - my romance
might come-true-"
The boy choked, then:

take a woman spy whose pass
word was the key to Latin
phrase. But until you stood
straight in your rags and smiled
at me. | did not know It was you
i did not know | was to take
the Special Messenger! Do you
believe me?"
Yes"
Little Messenger" he said, II
am in your debt for two blows
and a kiss"
She lifted a dazed face to meet
his gaze; he trembled, leaned
down, and kissed her on the
mouth.
Then in one bound he was at
the door, signaling his troopers
with drawn saber-as once, long
ago, she had seen him signal them
in the Northern woods.
And, through the window, she
saw the scattered cavalry forming
column at a gallon, obeying every
sabel signal, trotting forward,
wheeling fours right-and then
and then! the gray column swung
into the western forest at a can
ter. and were gone!
The boy leaning in the door
way looked back at her over his
shoulder and sheathed his saber.
There was not a vestige of color
left in his face.
Got" he said hoarsely.
What" she faltered.
"Go-go, in Gods name!
There's a door there! Can't you
see it?"
She had been gone for a full
hour when at last he turned
again. A bit of faded ribbon from
her hair lay on the table. He
went over to it, curiously. 1t was
tied in a true lovers, knot.
He drew it through his button
hole and walked slowly back to
the door again.
Then, with a last look at the
sky, and standing very erect, he
closed the door, set his back firm
ly against it, drew his revolver.
and looked curiously into the
muzzle. a
A moment later the racket OF
the shot echoed through the de-
serted house.
