Bourl, whose only clothing was that
left her by Mark, begged Mrs. Triggs to
get her more suitable apparel before
being taken out of the jail. Had the
old woman any excuse, indeed had it
not been for the presence of the guard
at the door, there is no telling what she
might have done to Bouri. To have
been thus duped put her in a towering
passion. She went into Souri's cell and
berated ber with her tongue and shook
her fist in her face, but refrained from
touching her. When Souri asked for a
woman's dress she at first flatly refused,
but fearing she would incur the dis
pleasure of the provost marshal still
further than she had if she should send
a girl to him not properly dressed she
selected an old calico frock of her own
and gave it to her,
Souri and Jakey were led to the mar
shal's office, followed by a crowd of
curious people, who were aware that
they had been the means of the escape
of a spy, but when they arrived the
crowd were left outside.
.Never was a man more puzzled what
to do with prisoners than the marshal in
the case of Souri and Jakey. He saw a
simple, modest, poor white country girl,
apparently not out of her "teens," and a
stupid looking boy, who was , not very
rar into them.
"Who are you?" he asked of Souri not
unkindly.
"Missouri Slack,"
"Where do you li ve?"
"On the Anclerion'road, not far from
Jasper."
"And this boy?"
"He's my brother."
"When did you come from home?"
"Three days ago."
"What brought you, or how did von
know that the prisoner was here and in
Jaiir
"Jakey sent me word.
"This boy?"
"Yes."
"How?"
"He sent me a silk hankercher what I
give t'other un."
"How did you send it, boyr
"Niggers."
"Uin."
"Well, you two are pretty young to
be engaged in such mischief."
The officer looked at them with inter
est and vexation mingled. He had lost
a prisoner for whom he was responsible,
but he could not but wonder at Buch a
dull looking boy achieving so difficult a
task as sending the communication, and
could not but admire the sacrifice made
by the girl.
1 W hat do you thmk I ought to do with
you?"
"Reckon y' mought gimme back my
gun, said Jakey.
The officer could not repress a smile,
"What gun?"
"TV one yer tuk t'other day."
"Cro and get the boy's gun, orderly,"
he said to a soldier on duty at the door.
The gun was not to be found then,
but was recovered later, and Jakey was
happy in receiving it.
"Do you know what you ve been do
ing?" the officer resumed, addressing
Souri. "You've helped a spy to escape
who will doubtless carry information to
the enemies of your country."
Souri made no reply, bhe stood look
ing at the officer with her big black
eyes. Fortunately for her, he had a
daughter about her age.
Meanwhile some Tennesseeans who
hailed from Jasper had been sent for, F
and they came in to have a look at the,
prisoners. Several of them recognized
both Souri and Jakey, and told the mar-ii

Thu and their youtn, together with
the fact that the provost marshal was
not a harsh man, saved them from pun
ishment. There was a great deal of feel
ing against "renegade" east Tennessee
ans, and had they been men they would
bavii been taken back to the "black
hole" at the jail and kept there till it
was found necessary to move them from
the approaching enemy. As it was, the
marshal directed that they be taken into
another room till he could hear from
headauarters regarding them. He knew

the Triggs and the "black hole," and
feared to let them go back to them.
The officers nt headquarters were too
busy to meddle with such a case. The
provost marshal's communication was
returned with the following indorsement:
Respectfully referred back to the provost
marshal with authority to do with these pris
oners as he thinks for the best interests of the
service. The spy having escaped it does not
appear that there Is any reason to hold them.
The brother and sister were brought
in again to hear what was to be their
fate. Souri was aware of the enormity
of her offense and expected a severe min-
ishment. She had determined to beg the
omcer to send Jakey back to his parents,
then tie might punish her as he liked.
"Suppose 1 let you and your little
brother go home," said the ruirshal
"will you go there and keep out of any
interference in matters that concern the
Confederacy hereafter?"
"I'll go home," said Souri.

plied the officer. Then to the guard:
"Send the corporal here."
"Take these children," he said to that
person when he arrived, "to the other
side of the river and turn them adrift,
and see that they don't get back here,"
Souri's heart jumped into her throat
for joy. Turning her expressive eyes on
the omcer, she said, "Thank you.
"Mr. Ossuer, said Jakey, "1 thank
y' fur gimmen me back my gun."
A smile broke over the faces of those
present.
The next day the brother and sister
arrived at home, and great was the re
joicing In the Slack family.
CHAPTER XVI.
A SOUTH CAROLINA GEOLOGIST,
"This is a gentleman who Mr."
When the trap door of tho attio had
closed over Laura Fain after her inter
view with Mark he stood for a few
minutes pondering on her strange treat
ment of him. Then he turned to the
breakfast. He had eaten nothing since
the evening before and the sight of the
greater part of a fried chicken (it had
been killed by Laura's orders for him
only that morning) was especially grate
ful. Mark applied himself to his meal,
and while he ate he went over the scenes
through which he had passed since he
set out on his mission. Surely he must
have been gone a month. He counted
the days. He had reached Jasper on the
evening of the twentieth of August;
Chattanooga on the morning of the
twenty-second, tried on the twenty
fourth, was to have been hanged on the
j twenty-seventh, escaped on the twenty-
I sixth.
That was only the evening be-
ml B wefit M ha( he
. week bef and h h , ,
wouId in,
a,,, oft l u . , ,
- .. i.o unu iiiiii-ncu nm ureiia-
fast a hand was extended through the
j trap, a pitcher of water and toilet arti
cles were lett and the dishes taken. At
noon a meal was handed in by the same
fair hand.
Though but two meals had been thus
left, Laura began to perceive that she
could not thus feed her charge without
Boon being discovered. When she took
Mark's dinner to him she entered the
attio and had him close the trap after
ber.
"It will not do for yon to stay here
much longer," she said. "My mother
has already become suspicions that 1
have something on my mind, and I fear
being detected carrying these meals. 1
dare not tell her all, and I dare not risk
her discovering that you are here."
"I will go tonight."
"It will be sure capture for you to go.
The negroes tell me that the country
people are all out looking for the the
py."
"I can't stay here and compromise
you."
"1 have a plan. This evening I will
watch for an opportunity for you to go
down stairs. You can introduce your
self as a guest, and though you will be
every minute in danger you will be
isJer than here."
"And, in case 1 am discovered, will
not be caught like a rat in a trap."
"You can appear as a traveler. You
must have a hat. I will bring you one,
At the first opportunity after dark I'll
come to the trap and knock. Follow me
down stairs. I don't think any one will
recognize you in these clothes. They
have been packed away since my brother
went to Virginia a year ago. Mamma
only saw you, when you were here be
fore, after dark on the veranda, and
well, 1 think there will be a very good
chance for you to play guest without
detection."
"The servants?"
"They would never betray a Yankee.
They think you are all coming down to
free them, and they'll have nothing to
do but lie in the sun."
"Not an unpleasant occupation on a
pleasant day," said Mark irrelevantly.
"Should anything happen, I only fear
mamma: And, after all, she is a wom
an," she added significantly.
"Which you pretend not to be."
"If all goes well you will be assigned
2 room the guest chamber perhaps
and if it is not snfe for you to be down
stairs, you may feign to be ill and keep
your apartment."
Mark was better pleased with the plan
than remaining where he was. He did
not expect to remain in the house longer
tnan till tiie next night, when he hoped
those who were seeking for him would
,lui ouu B, U1IU
chance for his life.
"I'll do all you suggest," he said to
Lanra, "and whether you wish it or not
I am very grateful."
She lowered her eyes under his look of
gratitude and then went below.
As soon as it grew dark Mark listened
for tho signal. It came a few minuteB
b?fore nine o'clock. Mrs. Fain had re
mained in the parlor up to that moment,
when she went up stairs to get some arti
cle necessary to a piece of work she was
coing. Laura followed her, turning out
the lights by the way and keeping on up
to the attic.
Within a few seconds after her knock
Mark wiv descending the staire and in a
twinkling was in Ihe parlor. Not half
a minute elapsed between thosignrtl and
his arrival there.
It was not long before Mrs. Fain was
heard groping about up stairs in the dark,
wanting to know who had turned out
the lights and calling on a servant to re
light them. When she entered tho par
lor she was surprised to see her daughter
in company with a stranger, who was
standing, hat in hand, as though he had
just come in from without.
"Mamma," said Laura, with her heart
in hor throat, but with the most assured
of innocent tones'this is a gentleman
who Mr."
"Rhett," supplied Mark.
"Mr. Rhett, of"
"South Carolina."
Any old Virginia or South Carolina
name was quite enough to insure a wel
come from Mis. Fain. Without waiting
to near what he might say further or an
account of how he came to be there so
suddenly, she said:
"i in pleased to see yon, sir: are vou
reiiiieu to ine itnetts, or south Caro
lina?"
"We all came of ihe same main stem.
madain," said Mark, assuming the tone
of a southern gentleman.
Mr. Rhett is traveling, mamma. Ho
says that that"
"I am looking for mines, madam.
You may not know it, hut you are iu
the center of a rich mineral region."
It is pleasant to hear that fortune
may come soon, and Mrs, Fain was
evidently much pleased at 11 le informa
tion. Indeed!" Bhe said calmly.
Yes, madam, I have been looking
for ore. 1 presume I need not say
whether in government interest or not:
we must have cannons, you know,"
"Government officers are not bound
to disclose their identity or their objects,
nr.
"I have been prospecting, madam, and
am separated from my party owing to
the stupidity of the driver of the vehicle
which contains my crucibles and chem
icals. 1 appeared at your door and your
daughter was kind enough to ask me
in not surprising, considering your fur
famed Tennessee hospitality."
"You are quite welcome, sir.
Mark bowed low, with his hand on his
heart, like a South Carolina gentleman
of the old school.
"Have you supped?" aHked Mrs, Fain.
"Yes, madam; I succeeded in gutting
a meal by the way. A poor one, indeed
a very poor one, with burned beans for
coffee. But since the abolition Lincoln
government has violated all rules of
oivilized warfare by this cruel blockade
intending to starve us into subjection
I suppose we must take what e can
get. I repeat it, we must take what we
can get, madam."
Mark's eyes flashed with well feigned
indignation.
"It is our duty to bear our depriva
tions cheerfully," said Mrs. Fain. "We
shall gain our independence at last, and
that should be an incentive."
'It should, madam, and let mo tell
you we are about to see stirring times
and great successes. This region has
become of especial military inipnrtnnco.
