She is ana- w-re that a real "Atiee Trent" lives in Baltimore. John Armitage, a Union otfieer, rescues Jeanne from a drunken man. Jennne induces Morgan to 'nbduct Kennedy so' that she may question him about the names on the eertifl- cate and about a curious tattoo mark on the arm of the man she married. Armitage rescues him, but Jeanne es- capes. She sees placards attt10umt- ing a reward for her capture, "dead or alive." General Armitage, father of the Captain, is discussing plans for the final campaign against Richmond when Jeanne, attempting to stent them, is captured.

"Both of us or neither of us," he said. Jeanne looked down at her enemy with reluctant admintion. This gray man who had called to Death I thou- sand times and been denied Iwnken- ed the old inherent sense of chivalry. She turned to Armitage. "Your word of honor not to touch " give it." “I will let him go. Let him re- member that it was I that gave him his life, even as I would have taken it, inditNrently." . She untied Armitage's hands. He felt the tremor of her fingers, but in no wise comprehended its origin. As for Jeanne. since this was to be the last time she was ever to see this man, a terrible, almost irresistible desire seized her to throw her arms around his neck and tell him she loved him, loved him! Armitage rubbed his wrists en-j ergeticnlly to take any the sting' of the hemp. Then he freed Ken- nedy, who was really helpless, and dragged him outside the cabin. Jeanne broke off the fuse half I Soot from the keg, applied the flame of the candle, and darted from the cubin. As Armitage led Kennedy out of the danger-zone he was than vio- lently to the ground.
