where Kirby had taken ElOise--intO
whose hands he had deposited the girl
for safekeeping. This task ought not
to be difficult. The settlement was
small, and the camp itself not large
one; no such party could hope TO en-
ter its confines without attracting at

the rest ought to prove comparatively
easy-a mere matter of action. For

The c0nqueror released his grip, and
stood up, revealing his full height, and
reaching out for the discarded blouse,
quietly slipped it on. One of the Adj
venturer's passengers, an officer in
uniform, going ashore, another tall,
spare man, had halted on the gang
plank to watch the contest. Now he
stepped forward to greet the victor,
with smiling eyes and Outstretched
hand.
Not so badly done, captain" he
said cordially. II am Lieut.. Jefferson
Davis of General Atcheson's staff, and

fingers on his dingy jean epants, and
gripped the offered hand.

boys tote this stuff, an l reckon
they're gOin' ter do it,
With the exchange of another word
or two they parted, and not until
thirty years later did | realize what
that chance meeting meant, there in
the clay mud of Yellow Banks, at the
edge of the Indian wilderness, when
Abraham Lincoln of Illinois and Jeffer-
son Davis of Mississippi stood in COM
radeship with clasped hands.
We had unlOaded perhaps a quarter
of our supplies. when an officer sudden
ly appeared over the crest of the bank
and hailed the captain. There was
tone of authority in his voice which
caused us to knock off work and lis
ten.
rs Captain Corcoran there? bring
orders from headquarters. You are to
discontinue unloading captain, retain
the remainder of the provisions on
board and prepare at once to take on
men,"
Take on men? We are not to return
south, then?
"NO; you're going in the other direc-
tiOn-up the Rock. You better get
busy"
He wheeled his horse and disap-
peared, leaving the angry captain
venting his displeasure on the vacant
air. Kirby, evidently from some posi-
ticn across the deck, broke in with a
sharp question.
"What is that, COrcoran? Did the
fellow say you were not going back to
ST. LOUISE"
That's just what he said. We've
got to nose our way up Rock river,
with Il lot of those measly soldiers
aboard. Here you, Mapes, stop that
unloading, and get steam up-we've
got to put in a night of it."
But" insisted Kirby in disgust.
''Tm not going up there; aren't there
any boats going DOWN."
'How the h should l know? Go
ashore and find Out--you haven't any
thing else to do"
The men below knocked off work
willingly enough and, taking advan-
taSe of the confusion on hoard, | en-
deavOred to creep mp the stairs and
gain view of the upper deck. But
both Mapes and the second mate made
this attempt impossible, forcing me
into the ranks of the others and COM
polling me to reStow the cargo. SO far
as [ could perceive, no attempt to de-
part was made by anyone, excepting

Every advance northward brought
with it new danger OF ex.
