Mark went with the servant and re
mained in his room long enongh to have
made a toilet and then sauntered down
stairs. At the door of the parlor in
which Mrs. Fain and her daughter were
sitting, he paused, as if waiting for an
invitation to enter. This was given him,
but he did not stay long. For a hot
blooded South Carolinian, he seemed not
to bear the heat well, and manifested a
desire to get out on to the veranda. - In
deed he had a wholesome dread of the
light. Besides he desired to be where
he conld converse with Laura.
"If 1 may beg you to excuse me, la
dies," he said, "1 will go out for a little
fresh air.
He strolled out into the night and
walked back and forth on the veranda.
"Laura," said Mrs. Fain, "go out and
entertain Mr. Rhett. I'm afraid of the
night air myself."
"Do you think it essential, mamma?"
' "Certainly I do. South Carolinians are
especially particular about the enter
tainment of their guests, and I wouldn't
have it go back to Charleston that we
had been remiss for the world."
Laura obeyed her mother and joined
the gueBt on the veranda.
Mark lifted his hat respectfully to her.
"The moon is rising," he remarked.
"I see the waxing light. If you will
come this way," goin to the end of the
veranda, "you ean see it better."
Laura followed, him t -tha position,
where they were out of hearing.
The relief from keeping Mark eon
eealed in the garret, the success of the
imposition of the spurious South Caro
linan on her mother, Mark's talent for
playing his part, all combined to place
Laura Fain in an exhilarated frame of
mind. Like most women she admired
daring, and like most women appre
ciated that daring in one in whom she
was interested in proportion to the ex
tent of the danger attending it.
"You are safe for the present," she
aid, her eyes glistening in the moon
light and a bright spot on each cheek.
"Thanks to your courage and ingenu
ity." "Oh, no; no! That's abBurd I For you
to speak of my courage! Do you know
that the recklessness with which you
put your neck into a halter is as unintel
ligible to me as mathematics would be to
one of our servants."
"For the cause," Baid Mark, "one
ought to"
"Nonsense! The cause! You love
these dangers."
"There is a fascination in them, I, ad
mit So long as there is one chance for
me, no matter how many there are
against me so long as I have an arm or
a weapon to fight with I am a man.
When cornered and taken I am the veri
est coward in the world. While in prison
In Chattanooga I moaned and whined
like a frightened child. The truth is
that danger is fascinating only either be
fore it is encountered or after it has
passed. When I am in it I want to get
out of it; when I am out of it I want to
get in it again."
"I don't believe you know the mean
ing of the word fear."
"Indeed you are mistaken. If I did
not feel fear there would be no fascina
tion in danger."
"Then you have a way with you of !
making people do what you like. When I
joa were here before you fascinated all
the servants. You completely captivated (
Uncle Daniel, who has talked of no one i
else since."
"Daniel is a good man. . Hell be of
use to me yet," I
"Yes, of use to you. You use every
one either openly or by deception. I
almost fancied you were professor
somebody, just now, when you were de-
oeiving poor mamma. You reminded
me of Mephistophelen for all the world." .
"You flatter," said Mark in irony. J

are seeking to injure the cause I favor,
and I give you my brother's clothes,
when that brother is lighting for that
cause. Why do I not send for some one
to eomo and take you?"
"On account of your nativ6- loveli
ness." "You are a very devil."
"I never regarded myself a saint."
"And the worst of it is," she went'on,
her eyes sparkling all the while, and
talking rapidly, "that such deviltry is
especially fascinating to me. I would
love to be a man. I would do what you
do. I would belong to the cavalry, I
would be a scout. I would be a" -

The exclamation was occasioned by a

Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Report.
Laura sank Into a neat; all color left her
cheeks and her heart seemed to stop
beating.
"Don't be frightened," Baid Mark
bending over her and whispering in her
ear. "It is only a private soldier. He
is not after me, and if he is he can't
have me."
Mark left hpr and advanced to the rail
of the veranda.
"Can you tell me how fyar tis ter
Chattenoogy?" asked the man.
"About two miles, 1 reckon, as the
crow flies; three or four really."
"Straight long up the road?"
"Yes."
"I'm a courier, i be'n carryen dis
patches; but I didn't go this way."
"Well, you just keep the road and
you'll get through all right. Any news
from the front?"
"Don't know any. I be'n away from
Chattenoogy two days."
"Well, you haven't far to go."
"Good night, Bir."
"Good night."
Mark went back to Laura. She had
not recovered from her fright, and he
was obliged to wait a few moments be
fore he could get a word from her.
"1 suppose you think me a dreadful
coward," she said at last. "After all.
I'm only a woman."
"Not cowardly for yourself; for a poor
devil whose neck is in a halter."
"Yes, fin only a girl, but 1 own the
life of a brave mun, a soldier, a reckless
monster, a fiend, a spy."
"Anything else?"
"There are no more words to express
what 1 mean."
"Laura," called Mrs. Fain, "if you're
going to stay out any later you'd better
get a shawl.
"I'm going in, mamma." ,
They walked into the house together
Mr. Rhett, of South Carolina, made a
few commonplace remarka to Mrs. Fain
and then begged to be excused, as he
had been prospecting during the day
and was very tired. He bowed low to
the ladies and then went up stairs.
CHAPTER XVII.
SURPRISED.
" am the guest of that young lady."
The next morning Mark bearing a
tap at the door got out of bed and
opened it cautiously. As was natural
under the circumstances, he saw danger
in everything that occurred. He half
expected to see through the slight open
ing he at first made the muzzle of a re
volver pointing directly at him. He saw
a very different sight. It was a large
tumbler, with a straw in it, on a silver
tray in the hands of a negro.
"Mrs. Fain's compliments, eah," and
he handed Mark a mint julep.
"Ah!" exclaimed Mark, with intense
satisfaction.
"Present my compliments to your
mistress, and tell her I perceive with
pleasure that this noble Virginia cus
tom has found its way into Tennessee,
as it has long ago into South Carolina."
"Yes, sah!"
"There are alleviating circumstances
even in the life of a spy," said Mark,
contemplating the beverage, "uncertain
as that life is. Why will man not al
ways be a philosopher? Here 1 am in a
beautifully furnished room; have been
sleeping between the whitest linen, on
the softest of beds. 1 arise and behold
this delicate attention on the part of my
hostess, who, if she should know who 1
am, would bring a dozen bayonets to
hedge me in, and I should be waving in
the soft summer breeze at the end of a
hemp cord in twelve hours. But she
does not know who I am, and, consid
ered philosophically, 1 am Mf. Rhett, of
South Carolina, and in clover. Here's to
Private Mark Malone, poor devil!"
However, Mark desired to keep bis
head cool, considering the circumstances,
and contented himself with a few swal
lows of the julep, and after completing
bis toilet joined the ladies at the break
fast table. He praised Mrs. Fain's fried
chicken and light biscuit and corn
bread, and was about to give the coffee
a few words of encomium when, tast
ing it beforehand, he discovered the pre
vailing chicory, bo he entered upon a
tirade against the blockade, and ended
by hoDinif that Abe Lincoln would at
last be bunged higher" than Hainan, a
reference that gave him a disugreeable
sensation about the neck and caused
Laura's bosom to heave tuinultuously.
The comforts surrounding Mark, the
kindness of his hostess, and above all
the presence of a girl whose bosom
seemed to contain such volcanio forces
as would best harmonize with one
whose chief object in life seemed to be
to get himself hanged, conspired to make
him feel a safety that he should not have
folt under the circumstances. He had
been campaigning for a year, during
which period he had experienced no
greater comfort than a McClellan sad
dle, and the women of the country
through which he had passed had not
received him with any marked evidences
of pleasure. Is it to be wondered that
he felt approximate content if one can
feel content whose neck is in a halter-
in the Fain manor house?
But Mark had something else on his
mind whieb. he knew was of more im
portance than his own safety, though
its value, if he should possess it, would
be dependent on that safety. He wanted
some indication of where the enemy
would strike. He was not so foolhardy
as to think of going back to Chattanooga
himself, but he resolved to Bend a mes
senger. If he could find some one to go
to town that day, the latest news could
be brought him in the evening. Then
he would assume a disguise and be off in
the night.
After breakfast he took his pipe and
went out to smoke in the yard. He
sauntered around to the barn and found
Daniol at work upon the horses.
"Daniel," he said, 'good morning."
"Momen, sah," said Daniel, eying him
suspiciously. "
"Nice lot of stock you have here, Dan
fcl." "Yes, sah; fine stock."
''And I see you take good care of them.
That pony shiuos as if his coat had been
oiled."
"Dut Missie Laurie pony, sah."
"Ah! It's a fine aniinai. And is that
her phaeton?"
"Yes, sah."
Mark was stauding very near Daniel,
and suddenly turned aud looked him iu
the eye, knowingly,
"Daniel," said he, "are you all right on
the cause of freedom?"
"Reckon I air, eah."
"Suppose you had a chance to favor
that cause, the cause which if it tri
umphs will make all darkies free, would
you do it?''
"Reckon I would, sah,"
"Well, suppose a Union man were to
ask you to"
"Yo' counterance air berry faliliar to
me, sah."
"Do I look liko Mi . Slack?"
"God bress the Lo'd! I wonder if yo'
air Mr. Slack?"
"Or the colored girl who camo here
the other night," Mark asked in a low,
confidential tone.
Fo de Lo'd!"
Never mind who I am, Daniel. I'm
a Union man. Now I waut you to go
into Chattanooga and learn all you can
of the latest army news. Don't trust
your own eyes, but ask people what's
going on. I want to know if troops are
leaving Chattanooga, and if so, where
they are going. Here are ten dollars.
Buy some things for the old woman and
the children, aud ask questions of other
people I mean, not me."
"TruB' me fur dat," said the old mun,
and going to the stable he begun to har
ness a horee to the family wagon.
When Mark finished BUioking he went
into the house. He passed into the li
brary, where he found Laura. She
seemed to feel easier than when Murk
had been up stairs, but Bhe was in con
tinuul dread. Mark asked her to sit on
a sofa fucing one window while he sat
facing another. "Then we'll have the
position enfiladed," ho said.
Laura did not understand what that
meant, but she did as he desired.
They sat thus without suffering the
watch to relax during three delightful
houH dolightful notwithstanding the
danger Mark was in. Laura wanted un
account of his adventures in Chatta
nooga and he gave it. When she came
to Souri's part in his escape Laura was
visibly affected; indeed so intensely
were her feelings wrought upon by this
portion of the story that she started at
every sound, realizing the more per
fectly that Murk's neck was still iu jeop
ardy. Then came an account of the trial; the
march to the courtroom; the waiting
for the counsel; tke arrival of Captain
Cameron Fitz Hugh.
"Captain Cameron Fitz Hugh!"
Then it was all out that Laura's lover
had defendod the spy, and Laura con
fessed that she was Fitz Hugh's be
trothed.
In the midst of the excitement attend
ing all this Mrs. Fain entered carrying a
silver tray, on which was a basket of
cake and a decanter and glasses.
"A little luncheon may not be amiss,
Mr. Rhett," she said. "I don't know
your South Carolina customs in such
matters, but my daughter and I occa
sionally take a biscuit at this hour."
Mark rose and faced about. His hand
went to his heart and he bowed low.
Laura, too, rose and stood looking at her
mother.
Madam," said Mark, "can I ever for
