 answered with the pressure of my hand on the fingers clasping my sleeve. There was no response; nei- ther were they withdrawn. She drew long breath, and stepped bravely forward. The way was clear, easily followed even in the darkness. and I walked close beside her. Within a few yards of the fellow she gave vent to little ripple of laughter, barely enough to attract attention, and again slipped her hand into the support of my arm. The soldier stood at atten- tion, but made no effort whatever to bar our progress.
 We strolled on slowly, passing di- rectly beneath the glare of the lamp We attempted to talk, but I retain no memory of single word that was uttered. My heart was beating like an engine, and my threat was dry, the fingers of enc hand gripping the butt of a revolver in my belt I was dimly aware of the tremor in her voice, the pressing closer to me of her slender figure. We passed out beyond the glow of the revealing light, to where cur eyes were able to sweep the dark ened porch. There were dozen chairs standing back of the rail, but none were occupied. She gave little sob of relief. both hands nervously grasp ing my sleeve.
 Thank God!" she said feryently, now if we only have five minutes more!"

I could not let those men think me traitor. I-I had to tell them why it had become my duty to aid you. There was no other possible way; no other reason which would justify me in such an act; but-but that confession left me utterly in your power"
 Tn my power, Noreen! Surely you do not think that I will ever take advantage; that I will ever miscon- strue your real purpose?"
 No! but will you live up to the ob- ligation? Oh, You do not see the situ- ation at all! When 1 said you were my husband I threw myself on your protection. I-I burned the boats am all alone now, unless-unless you stand by me. My father is dead; there is not one person anywhere to whom I can go. If I remain here shall be placed under arrest before dayiight-charged with aiding your escape; perhaps charged with aiding you in your work-and have no friends, no defense. Tom, must go on with you!"
 l could not ignore her plea, nor would I misconstrue it. It was fear which thus drove her to me; she had more confidence in my kindness than in their justice-that was the whole story The poor girl was so fright ened she had chosen blindly-she could perceive nothing, realize noth- ing, except the necessity for immedi- ate escape. My own resolve was ia- stant.
 Do not say any more Noreen," I said soberly, but making no attempt mean you wish to ride with me? You trust mo fully?"
 "I trust you; is not that enough? All I ask now is, do not leave me here alone"
 Her fingers clasped my coat, her eyes suddenly lifted to my face.
 Promise me that Tom," she begged br5kenly. It will be all I ask.''

I knew her of old: that she was strong, resourceful, fearless-yet she was a woman to be protected from insult, to be guarded against exposure; more, she was the woman I loved

 You do not wish me to go?" she asked, as instantly refining up. You want me to return 2"
 No, not that. l have no thought but for your own good. Only do you understand the perils through which we must pass in those mountains ?"
 Yes, l do understand,' she an- swered soberly, "and l comprehend as you cannot, the danger of my return ing to Lewisburg. 1 will never go back there; but, if you think it best for us to part, I will endeavor to reach Charleston alone"
 You would rather go on with me?"
 T made that choice, but if you con- slider me a burden"
 "Ne, it is not that, Noreen," I in- terrupted, touched by the regretful tone of her voice. .sIt was of you I was thinking, not myself. Then we go on together?"
 She was silent, her eyes on ths darkness ahead.
 Tt must be your decision" I in- sisted
 T made my choice an hour ago." she answered frankly.
 l waited an instant, thinking she might say more, but she sat motion less in the saddle. Just what her de- cision signified I could not judge. 1t seemed to me that between two dan. gers she had simply chosen the one she deemed to be the lesser It was not affection for me, but fear of oth.

 Which way had we better go?" I asked, my face close, our horses touching.
 Along the south road at first: there is cutoff just back Of the old school"
 And the pickets-do you know wkere they are posted?"
 At the ford Of the Green Briar- the main ford.''
 There are none at Benton?"
 No; do not think they even know the river is fordable there; it is not on the maps"
 We rode forward slowly, my hand on her bridle rein, keeping in the deeper shadows along the side of the road, until we passed beyond the last house of the village. If the camp was not alarmed for another half hour. our pursuers would be given hard task. Strange that the Federal scouts had never located the Benton ford. To be sure It was narrow, and of no value in high water, yet an ideal place for raiding parties to cross. and all those hills beyond were full of guerrilla bands eager to strike quick and get safely away. That they dared to attack small bodies of troops and especially poorly guarded wagon trains. had been demonstrated more than once, and this secret ford gave them easy opportunity. The Cowans certainly knew of its feasibility. and the wonder was they had never uti- lized 1t before.

But dare not permit her to even guess the truth, for l felt that she regretted the weakness of that moment and would resent the slightest reference to it
 l released her hand venturing upon no reply, and we rode down the steep bank. The sullen sweep of the water, out of the darkness above, into the darkness below, and the breeding silence, lay hold on my nerves. We drew in under the shadows of the wooded bank, pushed our way through to the top of the rise, came suddenly to an open space, where a dozen acres had been cleared, and rode out boldly across the open field to the Hot Springs pike, clearly visible beneath the soft gleam of the stars.
 l know not how long we rode, or how far for my mind had drifted into review of the nights adventures, and plan for the morrow. We met with no one, heard no noise except the steady pounding of our horses hoofs little later the sky to the east be- gan to tighten in the promise of dawn. We climbed long hill, our horses slowing to the ascent, and by the time we attained the summit the gray light revealed our faces.
