“I desire also to entrust this keep- sake to you, to be sent to my brother.” She took a. locket from about her neck and held it up before him. On it was painted a miniature of a young man in the uniform of a. Confederate officer.

He had determined to save the woman before him, even if it were necessary to take upon himself far greater ignominy than the death to which she was sen- tenced. There was silence between them, during which Miss Fitz Hugh stood looking at him in admiration, mingled with inquiry.

The extreme left of the Army of the Cumberland, trom which Corporal Rat: igan started to go through the lines, was held only by cavalry and mounted infantry, and these widely separuted. There was no regular picket line such as usually exists between armies con- ‘l '_.,, fronting each other where the difl'erent branches of the ser vice are represented in one continuous line.

He had‘ doubtless gone beyond the range of his own comrades, and now came a great danger of meeting the Confederate pickets. Leaving the creek, he ascend- :,, -_-- ..A ”AAA 0 cur-vev :d a slight eminence and made a survey of the surrounding country. All was silent, except that he could hear an occasional sound like a distant burst of laughter, or a about from the direction of Ringold, in his front. Presently he heard the unmistakable rumble of a train coming from the south ‘ - ‘ ‘ ,, LL-.. Ln ca.tle and platform cars, every car crowded with troops. “They’re preparin to give us a brush in earnest. Like enough they are re. enforcements,” muttered the corporal, Ratigan determined to follow the railroad north to Ringold, which be judged to be only a mile distant. The train loaded with Confederate tr00ps having just passed, the guards he might meet would probably not be very sus picious of an enemy. He walked on the track for a short distance, expect- ing a challenge with every stop. He received one suddenly just before entering a. wood. A man on horseback aimed a. carbine at him and gave the customary: "Who comes that?” . Ratigan at once threw up his hands, which his challenger could distinctly see, and cried out, “I want ye to take me to Colonel Fitz Hugh.” “What do you want with him?” “Do ye know him?” “He commands a regiment in our bri- hind that clump of treesand gothrough the cut,” said the corporal. “0i wonder wouldn’t it be a good plan to take ad- vantage of its noise when it passes to slip through the outposts. They’ll be thinkin of the train, and I can follow in its wake.” .1 - Aâ€"AA'I lull” "in” . He advanced cautiously to the trees beside the track and waited for'the train. Presently the headlight of a looomotiVe shot out from around a curve. The corporal had ton-gotten that its light would reveal him to the engineer. He crouched down out of sight with a high beating heart, and none too soon, for had he staid where he was the light would have shone dir- ectly upon him. He waited while the engine pufl‘ed slowly by, It was draw- ing a. long train of mixed passenger, m m. and nlatform cars, every car Seeing that the corporal held ms hands above his head, the man permit- ted him to draw near. Once here, Ratigan informed him of the nature at his mission and begged him for Colonel Fitz Hugh’s sake to send him to Rin- gold at once. The vedette was convinc. ed from Ratigan’s earnestness that he bore a message of importance, and calling his comrades, ordered one of them to dismount. Then, taking the precaution to blindfold the stranger, he mounted him, and placing a horseman on either side of him sent the three cluttering toward Ringold. It was not a long distance to the town, but all distances, all periods of waiting, seem- ed long to the car-para]. Was not the terrible event to take place at sunrise? And now it must be near midnight. 1‘", “What is the time?” he asked of his conductors. “Twenry minutes to 11.” “Let’s go 1';st Colonel Fitz Hugh would be as anxious for me to get on as 0i am meself if he knew my errand.” ‘- 11 right.
