Wasn't it rumoI that he was on General Ramsay $ staff? And the daughter-No Noreen-- whatever had become of her? There was an instant's vision before me of laughing eyes, and wind-blown hair, 8 galloping horse. and the wave of 3 challenging hand. She had thus swept by me on the road as l took my moth CT southward.

 "Nn, reckon not" said the other drily. "Git long in an tell him sam Taylor is yere.'

Wyatt he said kindly, If you ever desire to change your arm of the service, you are the kind of man want to ride with me"
 l smiled in appreciation, but before l could answer, the man who had been sitting silently in the corner arose, and stood erect in the light. The gleam of the lamp instantly revealed his face, still shadowed by the wide hat brim, the firm, bearded chin, the gravely smiling eyes.
 General Ashby," he said with quiet dignity, Sergeant Wyatt, I am sure performs this important duty without thought of reward It is the South that has need of such men in every branch of her service" He came for ward, and extended his hand cordially
 "I am General Lee, and am yer, glad to greet, and wish God speed tG the son of Judge Wyatt. If you return in safety, you will report to me in person at Richmond General Jack son will so arrange with your battery commander"
 They were all upon their feet, standing in respectful attention. l murmured something, scarcely knew what, lowing as l backed toward the door, And this was Lee-Robert D.. Lee-this man with the kind, thought full face. the gentle voice, the grayely considerate manner. And he had greeted me in words of personal friendship, had spoken to me of my father. l know I strengthened to sol dierly erectness, every pulse thrilling with new resolve. A moment l stood there. my eyes on the one face l saw before me, and then went out into the darkness. The orderly closed the door.

instantly. my heart throbbing with the possibility that l also might be re- membered Yet surely there was no gleam of recollection in tho eyes that surveyed me-and why should there be? I had been an uninteresting lad of fifteen when we last met This knowledge gave me courage to meet that searching glance. and to lift my hand in the salute due to an officer of rank.
 "Ah!" said Harwood in deep voice, "a soldier from the valley?"
 Yes, sir" respectfully, "the Sixty fifth Virginia"
 How does 1t happen you wear ar, tillery uniform?"
 Expecting the question I answered unhesitatingly.
 They'd lost so many gunners, some of us were detailed to help. Recruits are coming in now.
 What was your battery?"
 "Staunton Horse artillery, sir.'
 "Stationed?'
 "At Front Royal-that was our win ter camp
 He nodded, tapping his spoon against the table, favorably impressed by my prompt replies His keen eyes sought the face of the silent noun taineer.
 You know this man. Taylor?" {
 Wal, I can't exactly say thet I dew, major." he said drawlingly, shift ing his feet uneasily. "He says he's a Cowan. frum over on Buffalo criek."
 "A Cowan!-you mean" ]
 "No. he don't claim ter be none O. or Ned's brood-his mars a widder woman. They ain't no kin. I reckon. :,
 Whatever thoughts might have been in Major Harwoods mind were con- cealed by an impassive face. as he sat there for a moment in silence, gazing at the two of us.
 "No doubt you did what you be- lieved to be best, Taylor" he said at last quietly. We will talk it over later. You are both hungry enough to eat. l suppose? Draw up some chairs and Sam will find something No objection to remaining here over night, Cowan" -s.
 'Td be glad to get on. sir, but my horse is about used up. The roads have been hard and we have travelled rapidly" (

Wal, thet's all thar is fer us ter eat, an I'm goin' ter take a snooze''
 He closed the door, fastening it se- eurely with wooden bar. and stretched himself out on the floor. The room was dark, as the only win dow was tightly boarded up, and using my bundle for pillow, l lay down also. In short time his heavy breathing was evidence enough that Taylor slept. Slowly my heavy eyes closed, and l lost consciousness.
 The sun was below the mountain ridge, when the heavy hand of the old 1 mountaneer shook me into sudden wakefulness. With nothing left to eat we were not long in prepari@~ for departure. ] endeavoring vainly to sel

and cheerful fire glowed at the far. ther end. But brighter glow of light streamed from room beyond, and, determined to miss nothing, I was so close behind Taylor that my quick eyes caught what I believed to be swift signal of warning to the man within. This, however, was an i'm pression born from my own suspicion. rather than any real movement, for Taylor took but single step across the threshold, and stopped, leaning on his gun. The single occupant sat ur- right, before him the remnants of light repast, his hand toying with spoon, and his eyes shifting from Fay lor's face to my own. He was heavily built and broad of shoulder. The face would have been hard, but
 for gleam of good humor in the eyes, and the softening effect of gray
 hair, and gray mustache. The man had aged greatly, yet I recognized him

 Most fortunate. Nothing could be better, General Jackson. The ser geant can very safely travel as Fed. eral officer in search of recruits. The matter of papers can, of course. be easily arranged"
 Jackson turned toward his aide.
 What Federal troops are now gar risoning Charleston, Swan?"
 An Ohio brigade, with regiment of Pennsylvania cavalry. There is also a company of heavy artillery outside the town"
 The commander leaned his head on his hand.
 Tt was not my original plan to send you into the lines of the enemy in Federal uniform. However, Gen eral Ewell's judgment is probably cor rect. Have you a late army list there, Colonel Swami"
 "Yes, sir, issued the fourteenth" He turned the pages slowly, leaning forward to the light Here is a Lieu tenant Raymond. Third U. s. cavalry. reported on recruiting detail. His regiment Is stationed at Fairfax Court House"
 "He will answer as well as any other. It is scarcely probable the man would be known in that remote section. What is the full name? and where Is he from?"
 Charles H.; appointed from Yer mont"
 Colonel Swan will arrange the necessary papers and equipment. Or derly, have Major Kline step in here at once. An, Kline, have you among your trophies of war a Federal lieu tenants uniform which will probably fit this man?"
 q believe so, sir," and the officer addressed ran his eye appraisingly over my figure. Any particular regi- ment?"
 i "Third United States cavalry. Have i it pressed and sent here at once, se- curely wrapped. together with saber 1 and revolvers. Sergeant, do you de- sire a better mount?'
 No, sir. my horse is fresh and a good traveller" "Then that will be all, Kline; ex- cept, of course, complete Federal cav. airy equipment for the horse." 1 The officer saluted and disappeared the door instantly closing behind him, cutting off the hum of voices without There was moment of si- lence.
 You had better retain your present dress until after you leave the valley. counseled Jackson, slowly. Swan will furnish you with a pass, which should be carefully destroyed after passing, our pickets at Covington. It will be of no service to you beyond that point My best wishes for your success, Sergeant Wyatt He stood up, and l felt the firm grasp of his hand. Then Ashby grip. ped my shoulder.

Judging from the rec ommendation given you by Colonel Maitland felt that you were peculiar ly adapted to render this service. How ever, Sergeant Wyatt, propose stat ing plainly that this may prove an exceedingly dangerous detail, and if you decide to accept it. 1t must be done as volunteer"
 He paused questioningly, and I drew quick breath, realizing suddenly the seriousness of the situation and the importance of my decision.
 T am perfectly ready to go, sir"
 Ewell broke in impatiently with his high-pitched voice.
 May ask if it be generally known in Green Briar that you are enlisted in the Confederate service?"
 "To but very few, sir" answered, turning to look across at my unex- pected questioner "To none I am at all likely to encounter. My mother and
