One day after my conviction some young ladies of the city visited the prison where the Yankees were confin- ed, some to see the strange animals 01 the north, who they believed had “horns and hoofs'like an elephant,” as one of the young women expressed it ; others to leave flowers or fruit for the unhappy prisoners. The number of the latter class was small. As a condemned spy I was an object of especial hatred or commiseration, according to the feelings of the fair visitors. “Is he really a spy ?” asked one “Is he really a spy ?” asked one young girl of gushing class and age._ “Yes,” answered the guard, “he 15 a genuine Yankee spy.” .I .‘ .u ‘1 0 “Oh, isn’t it awtul’l” said the girl. “How can you tell? He doesn’t look like a spy, and if you hadn’ t told me, I should say he was real mce.” “You éan’t tell anything by looks,” replied the guard. “Some' of the brightest and handsomest men in the service are spies." My attention was soon attracted to three young ladies who were distribut- ing handsome little boquets to some of the prisoners whom they appeared to know, and I was surprised to see the horrified stare which followed the younger girl’s first glance at me. She looked a. second time, searchingly, her face pale and startled, then turned away with her companions. The next day she came back again, bringing flowers, and I had achance to watch her for some moments‘ She brought me a small boquet, and when handing it to me accompanied it by a glance apparently full of meaning, and yet utterly bewildering aud untransla- table. “Sure‘y,” I thought, “I have never seen her befcre. Not a look or ques- tion or movement is familiar, and yet she appears to recognize me.” The more I thought on the subject the deeper and blinder was my mystifica- tion, the more surprising the action of my beautiful friend. " 9,- AA ..__...LA_-. “'J v I watched my charming mystery builder until she left the prison, then turned to the boquet she had given me. 1 gave it close examination. Hidden among the leaves of one of the flowers was a. very small note, the paper being almost as delicate as the tissues of the flower leaves. The note said : ‘ I “v v- v- .v DEAR TOM,â€"â€"I was so startled and horror-struck to see you yesterday that I almost betrayed the fact that I recog- nized you. Fortunately I did not, and now I will try and help you. Examine carefully everything I bring. It may have something useful. Agnes is already ill, and I have not dared to tell her. “:MABEL.’, Evidently the young lady thought I was somebody else. A guard came to my cell after she left and said : “I saw you were one of the favored ! ones to-day.” . “Yes,” I replied 3 “who is the lady?” “Miss Murfreeâ€"Mable Murfree." “Her home is in Vicksburgh, I pres- ume ’I” “No 3 Judge Murfree, her‘ father, lived outS1de, and his plantation was for several weeks in possession of the Yankees. Finally he came here to be in a safe place, and brought his daughters along.” The next day Miss Murfree came again, and when she reached my cell she handed me another boquet. I waited until 1 was free from observation, then examined my boquet. In the hollow stalks of the flowers was a very small file, a slender but strong steel bar with sharp point. and a little platinum bottle of hydrofluoric acid. The flowers had been careiully sealed up at the bottom to prevent their contents trom falling out. Besides the tools for escape was this note : DEAR TOLLâ€"Tomorrow I will try and find out the password from a young officer who visits us. 1.1. 7A_ ,' UlAl-abl n lav . â€"â€"-_ V- "MABEL." I awaited the result of her effort with painful interest, and when she came the following day- and gave me the usual boquet I found the following note : ma..- __ _ go to the corner this side staff which you can see window, and give a. low] colored man will come irc am THE \YATCHMAN, LINDSAY, THURbDAY, OCTOBER 13, 1892 pgizing could he heard,_ With the acid and the tools I made‘sh'or't WOrk of the bars across my window and the irons which fettered my limbs. I squeezed thrbugh the window and dropped to the grougd. I had not gone far when a. guard called out sharply, “halt I Who goes there P” “A friend,” I answered. “Give the countersign.” “Cartridge.” “Pass on I” On reaching the corner I whistled softly, and in answer a negro came up and said interrogatively: “Massa Tom '9” “Yes,” I replied. 6 He threw a long cloak over my shoulders and started up the street at a sharp gait. I followed him perhaps half a mile, when he stopped before a plain brick house, unlocked the door, and bade me enter. 1 had scarcely glanced around the (lime lighted hall before the mysterious “Mabel,” accom- panied by a young lady taller and darker than herself, hurridely entered from an adjoining room. They had [evidently been waiting fur me. I only heard my bencfactress say, “Oh, Tom. Thank heaven!” before her companion, with a wholly glad and half-hysterical cry, tvhxew her arms about my neck and showered tears and kisses upon me in most embarrassing profusion. . . n 1 J 112-- 1 InI.‘lasvlarsfifiuserly dumbfounded. Final- ly, collecting my thoughts, I turned from me excited and half-crying woman I held in my arms to the one I partially knew, and said : I." "My dear Mlss Murfree, you have saved my life and 1 am bound as an honorab‘m man, to tell you that you have made a. strange mistake in think- ing you know me." 1 J,_ J , , “Mistakel” gasped the young lady who had so passionately caressed me. “Mistake 1 What do you mean? Are you not Tom Atherton ?’ “Not quite,” I answered, “but if you thought I was he, the mistake is not a. very bad one. I aux his twin brother, Ned." J.‘ bu. The surprise and confusion which had overwhelmed me were transferred to the young ladies, and for a moment; we all simply stared at each other. Then Mabel laughed and said : “And so you are the wonderful brother of whom Tom used to tell us 2” “Yes, forcunately,” I answered. “And you stood there and let me kiss you, without. saying a. word,” Agnes (I found out afterwards she was Agnes) said reproachfully. A -LIA-.L “a.“ lvrâ€"vâ€"~â€" J “You didn’t give me time to object even if I had wished to,"‘.was my per- fectly truthful reply‘ "I don’t. know but that. it is so,” she assented. “But, Mabel, what shall we do with him Z” s UV “ingm entirely in your hands, and will do whatever youmwish‘,” I said. “If- my being here. will endanger you in any way I will try and get through the lines to-night.” thou will ”be much safer here,” Mabel said. “We owe it to you to do whatever we can for you." “Owe it to me ?” I said. “For what?” “For your brother’s sake. He saved my sister‘s life and protected our property from destruction and us from insult. He is the best and truest man that ever lived, and we cannot do too much for his brother.” I was compelled to kcep a dark re- treat only a part of the time, and several hours each day were spent with Judge Murfree or his daughters. Mabel Murfrea has saved my life, and the gratitude I felt was enhanced by the fact that she was a rarely beau- tiful woman. 'ULl-u- After weery weeks of siege the city was captured and the soldiers of Grant and Sherman entered it in trlumph, and I was free. When the time came for me to go. having said good-bye to Judge Murfree, I went to the parlor to see Mabel and Agnes, feeling how ‘ hard, how very hard it was to say farewell, and when I saw Mabel dressed in pure white, with white flowers in her beautiful hair, her cheeks flushed with excitement and her deep blue eves unwontedly bright, the duty was not made any easier. “Agnes is writing a letter to Tom for you to deliver," she said, as I entered the room. “She will be down in a few moments." “I am quite willing to wait." I repli- ed, “and indeed, I am sorry I must go at all. I do not expect to ever again find such friends as I have found here.” uuu quâ€" ___, “You must thank your brother for them,” Mabel answered. “Miss Murfree, Mabel, you wish to rob your act of saving my life of any personal significance. You do not want me to be misled by the gift of my poor life to ask for that which can, make it valuable. I refuse to be warn- ed. I love you, Mabelâ€"love you mally, hopelesslyâ€"love you as I never thought to love anyone’ and while I dare not hope you will return my love, I could not leave you without speak- ing, forgive me if I have pained you, but it was impossible for me to go away without telling my love, and you will i at least be fortunate in the fact that an [opportunity will not soon occur for my; to be troubled again b1 one whose ... ..
