Population.
There i probably no city of importance in the world that ean show
such rapid and wonderful growth as Chicago since its destruction by
fire. To-day its population is about 1,200,000. Mr. Peter Van Schaatk,
one of the leading merchants of that city said in conversation, that a
large number of his personal friends, as well as scores of representative
men throughout the Northwest with whom he had conversed upon the
subject, had found St. Jacobs Oil a pain-curing and healing remedy of
the most extraordinary efficacy. It is the Great Remedy for Rheuma
tism, Neuralgia, Sciatica, Backache, Bruises, Burns, Swellings etc.

Hark hoped that the preparations the
Confederates were making for the ex
pected move would cause them to forget
him. He was not destined to be so for
tunate. The second day after his cap
ture he was taken before a court martial
held in a house occupied by the staff de
partment, to be tried on the charge of
being a spy.
The court was assembled and ready to
proceed with the case. An officer had
been detailed to defend the prisoner, but
he had not arrived and the court waited.
Presently a clatter of horse's hoofs was
heard outside. It stopped before the
door of the house, and in another mo
ment Mark's counsel entered the room.
Mark looked at him with astonish
ment. In the tall, straight soldier, with
black hair and eyes, mustache and
goatee, bearing about him that some
thing which indicates "to the manor
born," he recognized the officer who had
called at the Fains' on the morning he
had left them Captain Cameron Fitz
Hugh.
As soon as he entered he beckoue I the
prisoner to follow him to a corner of the
room apart from the others for consulta
tion. It was not a convenient place for
such an important interview, but one
charged with being a spy was not likely
to get many favors, and the exigencies
of the case did nut admit of aught ex
cept the bare fonts of justice.
"Will vou e'w ne- your confidence,
my man, or shall 1 proceed at random?"
'At random. J
'If you think It best to trust me, 1
(rive you the word of a Virginia gentle
man that 1 will not betray you, and 1
will do all I can for you. I am a Fitz
Hugh."
He said this unconscious of how it
would sound to a northerner. To him
to be a Fitz Hugh was to be incapable
of a dishonorable act. Mark understood
him perfectly; indeed his counsel in
spired him with every confidence.
'1 would explain everything to you,
captain, but my secret Is not all my own.
I would be perfectly willing to trust my
fate in your hands if I could honorably
do so. You will doubtless fail in your
defense, but I thank you for the effort
you will make."
The trial was of brief duration. The
soldiers in whose company Mark was
taken were called and testified to his
having masqueraded as a staff officer.
Knowing now that he was probably a
Union Bpy, they would have shielded
him, but they had already given np the
secret. Mark was asked where he lived.
He had entered his name at the hotel
as coming from Jasper, go he gave that
place as his residence, but when asked
what county Jasper was in he could not
tell. The maps he had studied, being
military maps, did not give the coun
ties. Then some Tennessee soldiers were
brought in the town swarmed with
them who testified that they lived at
Jasper and had never seen the prisoner
there. The closing evidence against
Mark was given by the recruiting officer
with whom be had promised to enlist.
Hearing that a spy had been taken, and
suspecting it might be his promised re
cruit, he went to the courtroom and
there recognized the prisoner. His tes
timony was sufficient. The court had
made up its mind before the prisoner's
counsel had said a Word.
Captain Fitz Hugh seemed distressed
at not being able to bring forth any evi
dence in behalf of the prisoner. When
he arose to speak in Mark's defense the
court listened to him with marked at
tention and respect indeed they were
as favorably impressed with the ac
cused's counsel as they were unfavor
ably disposed toward the aceused. The
captain was obliged to content himself
with warning the court against convict
ing a man of being a spy because his
identity was not satisfactorily explained
and on circumstantial evidence. He
asked that the prisoner might have more
time than bad been given him in which
to gather evidence m his behalf.
The court denied this request and pro
ceeded with a verdict. In forty minutes
after Mark entered the courtroom he was
found guilty of being a spyT

sentence of the court should not be passed
upon you?"
"No, sir."
Captain Fitz Hugh interposed once
more for delay.
"1 would suggest," be said, "that inas
much as some explanation may come to
hand bearing on the case the court fix
my client's punishment to take place on
a day not nearer than a week from to
day." "1 had intended to fix it for to
morrow morning at sunrise," said the
president, "but in deference to the
prisoner's counsel I will compromise
with him midway between a week, as
he desires, and tomorrrow, or allowing
three days. The sentence of the court is
that the prisoner be hanged by the neck
until he is dead on the twenty-seventh
day of August, eighteen hundred and
sixty-two, or three days from today."
Before Mark was led out of the court
room his counsel approached him. Con
sidering the prejudice against the pris
oner, another man would have suffered
him to go without a word. Not so Cap
tain Fitz Hugh. He strode up to Mark,
the officers and soldiers present making
a way for him, leaving him alone with
the prisoner by withdrawing to another
part of the room, and extended his hand.
"One thing is plain to me," he said,
"whoever you are, you are a gentleman,
and I believe you have sacrificed your
life to your sense of duty. 1 am sorry
that you did not trust me with your se
cret. Then I might have done something
for you. As it is, I have done nothing.1
"It would have availed nothing," said
Mark. "You have done all you could
under any circumstances. Besides, had
I told you who I am, you might have
felt it your bounden duty to your cause
to make known the facts."
"Never," said Fitz Hugh proudly. "I
owe moro to myself, more to my Bense of
honor, more to my birth and breeding,
more even to my state than to the Con
federacy." "Captain Fitz Hugh," said Mark with
a voice in which there was a slight
tremble, "you are of too fine grain. You
are too frank, too truthful. Do not feel
a moment's regret at not having been
able to save me. Mine is but one of
thousands of lives that must go out in
this great struggle for human liberty.
Mine is an ordinary nature. You are
fitted for nobler work than war. I trust
you will be spared to become an honor
to your state and a reunited country.
From the bottom of my heart I thank
you."
The men clasped hands, and Mark
was led away botween two soldiers.
CHAPTER XI.
DE CAUSE OB FREDUM.
On the morning after Jakey's inter
view with the colored woman through
the crack in the jailyard fence Souri
Black was washing dishes by an open
window in the kitchen, an addition built
of pine boards to one of the united
houses which formed the Slack dwell
ing. The sun was shining brightly, and
a morning glory she had trained up to
grow about the window was fresh with
dew. Souri's heart felt unusually light.
The air was so fresh; the Bun was so
bright; the morning glory flowers had
such a companionable look in them that
Souri was very happy.
Suddenly there came to her a quick
sinking away from the pleasurable sen
sation. A sense of danger ruHhed In to
take its place. Surely something hor
rible was about to happen,
In a moment she heard the clatter of
horse's hoofs coming at a gallop. Look
ing up the road, of which she had a
view from the window, she saw a horse
covered with foam tearing toward her,
with a negro boy on his bare back. In
a moment the rider was at tbe fence and
had reined in his horse. Wild with
haste and excitement, seeing Souri at
the window, he called:
"Am dis Slack's placer
"Yas."
"Whar Souri Black?"
"Hyar."
"Your
"Yas."
The boy held up a red handkorchief,
and then jumping off his boree threw
the reins over a picket in the fence, which
h vaulted, and running up to the win
dow poked the handkerchief at her.
Swuri at once recogni7d the handker
chief she had given Mark". Sewed on to
a corner she noticed a piece of dirty cot
cloth on which some one had written
with a pen hi blotted letters:
"Whar'd y' git this?" asked Souri, her
face white as aHhes.
"Dunno. Left wid de niggers at Mr.
Torbut's plantation. I'ze Mr. Torbut's
nigger."
" Whi tole y' ter tote hit hyarr
"Ole nigger what leabe hit."
"What'd he say?"
"Nuffen." And the boy pointed to
the corner as if that was sufficient ex
planation for any one.
Souri could not read what was written
there, but she knew Mark had been cap
tured, and it was fair to suppose that he
was at or near Chattanooga.
Waal," she said, "y' niggers hev
this ter m.. "reckon y ken pass
me back; I'll go 'th y'. Air y' hungry?"
"I'ze rid since oneo clock dis mawmn.
" Waal, take yer horse round ter the
barn fur a feed, and then come fn hyar."
The darky showed his white teeth and
did as he was bidden. When he came
in Souri placed something to eat before
him, and then went in to inform her
mother of what had happened.
"Whar'd y' qlt thtsT" ashed Souri.
"Maw," she said, ."Jakey's tuk."
"La sakeal" exclaimed the mother with
a scream. "Air they goen ter hang
him?"
"Don't know. The sojer's tuk too.
Reckon they'll hang him, sarten."
"How'd y' know?"
Souri told her about giving Mark the
handkerchief and its return "in de
cause ob frednm."
"What shall we do?" moaned the
mother, rocking in concert with her
feelings.
"I'm goen ter Chattnnoogy ter find
out."
"They'll hang y too," whined Mrs.
Slack.
"Reckon not. I rnought find a way
ter git Jakey outen jail,"
" 'N th' sojer foo?"
"Mebbe."
"Air y' goen jest's y' air?"
Souri thought a while without reply
ing. She would go with the colored boy
of course. He could show her the way,
and she might pass for some relative.
But that would not do. She was wluto,
and the boy was black. Why not dark
en her face? The idea was a good one.
'Maw," she said, "I'm a-goen out ter
find some berries to make me a merlat
ter," and before her mother could reply
she was off. When she returned the
negro boy had finished his breakfast.
She told hiin that she wonld be ready to
go back with him in half an hour.
While she was talking to him he fell
p. Then she thought it would be
better to let him sleep all day and travel
at night. Time would be lost, but there
would bo less liability to interruption, so
she aroused him with difficulty and con
ducted him to an eld sofa, where he at
once dropped off again into slumberland.
It was about four 0 clock in the after
noon when aouri awakened the boy.
Seeing a mulatto girl standing by him in
an old calico dress and a sunbounet on
her head he was astonished.
"Who yoT he asked.
"Don't y' know me?"
"Sho tmff !" ;
"What's yer name?"
"Julius." !
"What's yer t'other name?'
"Ain't gut none!"
"I'm goen with y' t' where y' started
From; then I reckon I'll have ter go on ,
alone."
"Ole man dar; he tote y' ftirder.
"Waal, come along. Eat a snack 'n 1
then we'll go."
When Julius had eaten his fill they
mounted the horse, the girl sitting strad
dled behind hira. Souri, in a common
calico dross and a very large sunbounet,
looked for all tbe world like a negro
girL Julius took her over hills innu
merable, and at midnight drew rein near
a large plantation. There they both got
down, and Julius, who had surrepti
tiously taken one of his master's horses,
returned it to the stable. Then be led
the way to a row of negro cabins.
Going to one of them ho knocked on the
door. It was opened by the negro with
whom Mark and Jakey had Btaid on
the creek between the Fains' and Chat
tanooga.
"Dis do gal," said Julius.
"Goen to Chattcnoogy?" asked the old
man.
"Reckon."
"1 show yo' de way. Go righ' oflT
"Yas."
"ilab t' foot hit. Ain't got no horse.
"1 can do hit."

Souri tramped in bis company the rest
of tho night, and at daybreak they were
at his cabin on the creek. There she
took a few hours' rest, and after the sun
was up ate a breakfast which the old
man prepared for her. After this he set
out to show her the way to Chattanooga.
He asked no questions. All he knew
was that his efforts were in "do cause
ob fredum," and that was quite enough.
The old woman who had brought him
the handkerchief had told him where
her cabin was in Chattanooga, and he
seemed to understand that he was to
guide Souri there. She gave him some
information as to a man aud a boy at
the jail in Chattanooga. This was all
he knew.
They crossed the river by the regular
ferry, having uo trouble in doing so, for
citizens and negroes were passing all the
while. About ten o'cluck in the morn
lug they reached the cabin of the old
negress who had started the haudker
chief. "Fo' de Lo'dl" exclaimed the woman
"How'd yo' git hyar so quick?"
"Trabel all night," said the pilot.
"Who dat yaller gal?"
"I'm Sonii Slack. Whar's th' jail?"
The woman letl Souri out to show her
the way, and the man left the cabin on
his way homeward. Souri was taken to
a place where she could see the jail, and
the woman told her where to find the
crack through which Jakey had con
versed with her.
Souri went to the place alone, and
going to the fence hunted till she found
the crack. She peeped in, hoping to see
her brother, but Jakey was uot there.
She waited an hour or more, but he did
not appear.
"Reckon I'm wastin time hyar," she
said at last. "I'm goeti right in ter git
round th' ole woman, ef there is one."
And she went to the gate and presented
herself before the sentinel.
"What d' y' want?" he asked.
Souri didn't know whether the jailer
had a wife or not, but she hazarded the
reply:
"De jailer's wife tole me to come in 'n
tote de washen."
The soldier looked at her doubtfully,
but suffered her to pass in.
She had scarcely entered before she
saw a party of soldiers conducting a
man from the jail. They passed near
her, and she recognized Mark. He was
going to his trial. He did not recognize
her, darkened as she was, and she was
too wise to make herself known. Jakey
followed his friend and was going to
pass out with him, but was stopped by
the guard.
Souri saw tears trickling down the
boy's cheeks as ho went back and
Btrolled about in the yard. She longed
to take him iu her arms, but did not
dare to even make herself known to him.
She did not know where Mark was be
ing taken, so going back to the guard
she asked with apparent idle curiosity:
"Whar dey goen wid dat man?"
"Reckon thar goen ter try him."
