man who, having been reared in Gu

resisting an Hinvasion of United
States troops. The stockade he is sta

gain entrance all the defenders save
young Ford are.either dead or wound
ed Wounded himself, he still fights
hopelessly against his captors.
Capt. Gwynne, in charge of the at
tacking party, Is greatly impressed by
the unusual bravery of the boy, and
sends him to an American school.
Years later the erstwhile rebel finds
himself in command of battalion of
the troops he formerly fought against.
In the meanwhile Capt. Gwynne, now
a general, has retired from active SER
vice and settled down in his southern
home with his two grownup children,
Jefferson and Georgia.
a Fate brings Harry Ford ande his
troops to the town where Georgia
lives, and they become great friends.
General Gwynne does not recognize
the young officer.
Ford is really in the town to en-
trap some ''moonshiners' who have
been working in the vicinity for years.
Jefferson misconstrues his presence,
however, and accuses him of being
there to back the "carpetbaggers" in
the forthcoming election.
bad blood" is thus stirred up be-
tween the two young men, and when
Jefferson is foully murdered and the
circumstantial evidence all points to
Ford, things reach an undesirable
climax.
Georgia, too late, realizes she is in
love with the handsome officer, and IS
firm in her contention that her broth
er was not killed by him despite the
verdict rendered by the jury which
has found Ford guilty.
A long prison term is then borne
by Ford, which could have been pre6

in love with her, told at the trial the
story of how he saw the murder COM
mitted and by whom.
Ford's innocence is finally proven
after many narrowing and thrilling
adventures. Just prior to his vindl-
cation General Gwynne is acquaint-
ed with the boys real identity for the
first time, and realizes that as brave

march to battle; David would enter

shrank from the thought of what might
happen to David.

went down to the office and telephon-

gotten the familiar number.
She had only expected to get his ad-
dress from some ,member Of the fam
lily, but David's voice answered her.
When each had recovered from the
palpitating silence that followed the
hearing of the others voice after prac.

said softly:

over the phone was SO possessive and
SO tender Airline had not known a

There was pause
WELL don't see why should take
any needless risk" Airline said laugh
ingly and happily.

some wonderful thread of destiny
would bind us together, dear" David
said very softly.
