That is a fascinating Btudy," re
marked Mrs,. Fain, who was a great
reader and a very intelligent woman.
Now Mark, though an educated man
and horn to a taste for the sciences, un
fortunately knew less about the profes
sion he had temporarily adopted than
any other.
There are some curious geological
facts," Mrs. Fain went on, "which al
ways interest me. I was reading yester
day that a famous geologist has said that
centuries 1 have forgotten how many
were consumed while Niagara falls
were wearing their way from LewiBton
to the present site. How long was it,
professor? I'm sure you have that title."
"It could not nave Deen less tnan nve
hundred years, madam," said Mark, lay
ing great stress on the figures as some
thing enormous.
Five hundred? I thought it was
something like twenty thousand I"
Mark perceived that he had made a
gross blunder, but it would never do for
him to acknowledge it.
I am aware," he Baid, "that such is
the opinion of a certain school of geolo
gists with more assurance than Drams.
I refer to those scoffers who are contin
uously trying to find evidence against
the Mosaic account of creation, but I re
gard their position untenable."
There was a pletised look on Mrs. Fain's
countenance. tSlibeloiiKed to the Bap
tist denomination, and believed thor
oughly that the -world was made in Biz
days of twenty-four honrs each.
"Professor," she said, withdrawing
from the room at the same time, "I trust
that you will re main in the neighbor
hood a long while, and I beg yon to honor
us by making this house your home in
the meantime."
Mark was standing with a half filled
glass of wine in his left hand, while his
right was on his heart. Mrs. Fain made
her exit through the door by which she
had come, opening into the dining room.
As the door closed Mark was bending to
the floor, admirably representing a South
Carolina gentleman of the olden time.
He heard something like a low cry
half surprised, half terror from Laura.
Turning quickly toward her he saw her
eyes fixed in a stare on some object at
the door opening into the hall. Another
turn of his head and there stood the fig
ure of Captain Cameron Fitz Hugh.
Twice before had Mark seen that face,
once when Fitz Hugh had approached
the Fain house the morning Mark had
left it for Chattanooga, and once when
the young Confederate had defended
him at the trial.
No sooner had Captain Fitz Hugh laid
eyes on Mark's face than he recognized
the spy he had defended at Chattanoo-a.
"Professor," he said coolly, "you are
Tery adroit."
. Mark turned scarlet, and then ashy
pale. For a moment it seemed that his
legs would not support him. It required
time for him to collect himself to make
any reply whatever.
"Since you are so good at extricating
yourself from difficulties, you have a
fine opportunity to snow your skill now.
Fitz Hugh spoke with his hand on the
handle of his pistol. "May I trouble
you to throw up your hands, professor?"
"It is not necessary" said Mark. "I
am unarmed." '
A picture of his certain fate flashed It seems to me that it is a question be
across his mind, and he wished Fitz tween your duty and your inclination,
Hugh would shoot him.
"On your word of honor?"
"Why do you ask such a question?,
You know that I am an arch deceiver."
"At any rate, you are a gentleman.
Never mind throwing up your hands."
Meanwhile Mark had been giving his
heart time to cease thumping, and had
(fathered his wits.
Laura remained silent, staring at them!
. ., . . v. v.
DOIU as mouga Olio uu lust, ubi rrnouu.
Had she a hundred thing, to say her
tongue could not have been made to
utter one.
Mark turned toward Fitz Hugh and
looked him square in the face. He had
conceived an idea; a forlorn hope, it is
true, still a hope. Quick to discern peo
ple's peculiarities, he had gotten an in
sight into Fitz Hugh's character when
that officer had defended him at Chatta-

xmaer
nooga. He now resolved to tane aavan-
tage of that knowledge. '
"Captain," he said, "notwithstanding
the position in which yon saw me a few
days ago, notwithstanding the painful
situation in which you seo me now, you
have on both occasions done me the
honor to consider me a gentleman. 1
assume to a perception in this respect
not less keen than yours. Indeed so
sure ain I of the delicacy, the refinement
of your instincts, that I feel perfectly
safe under this roof."
"How so?" asked Fitz Hugh, surprised.
"I am the guest of that young lady."
Mark stood with his arm outstretched,
his finger pointing to Laura Fain. Laura
gave a glance at Mark as he upoke, which
caught the eye of Captain Fitz Hugh.
It contained admiration, devotion. Fitz
Hugh gazed from one to the other with
out a word.
."I need not explain further, captain,"
Mark added. "A gentleman cannot mis
take my position; only a gentleman can
understand it."
"You mean, sir," said Fitz Hugh,
"that I cannot honorably enter this
house and profit or cause my country to
profit by what I find here without the
consent of the inmates.
"I do."
"Mrs. Fain is the acknowledged head

ceived. But I concede t5 Miss Faiu the
right to speak for her. I acknowledge
Miss Fain's right to hold me to this
secret, if any one has such a right. But
when Miss Fain shall have been fully
advised of all the facts
"Pardon me; she knows all you
know."
"Then when Miss Fain shall have
duly considered the interests of her
country I am quite sure she will give
her c. usent.
The attention of both men became
fixed upon Laura, for it was evident
that she would be called upon to make
a decision between her country and her
lover on the one hand and the defense-
less Union spy on the other. She was
standing near the sofa on which she
had been sitting, steadying herself by
resting her hand on the back of a chair.
It was a moment of intensest feeling to
all three. La'ira knew the sterling
worth, the high sense - Of honor and
duty of her lover. She knew that if she
held him to secrecy he would consider it
evidence that she permitted her interest
In the spy to overwhelm her sense of
duty. And would he not attribute her
protection to something more tender
than an ordinary interest? Fitz Hugh
realized her position; indeed there
seemed to flash into both of them the
feeling that her decision would lie be
tween two men her lover and the
Federal spy. With Mark it was a ques
tion of life or death.
"Miss Fain Laura," said Fitz Hugh,
speaking slowly and impressively.
ask your permission to give up this im
postor pardon me, sir, for the plainness
of my language; it is essential this spy,
who desires to carry information north
to the detriment of our country; who
seeks the defeat of our cause the cause
in which your brother is every day risk
lng his life; lastly though this may be
a matter of small importance the cause
for which I. vour lover, would lav down
I my life as I would lay it down for you,
"Then tell me, may I send for a guard
. to take him?"
Laura's eyes shown like those of a
tigress at bay. In a firm, clear voice,
she said:

cheek when Laura spoke the little word
that decided his and Mark's fate. "You
have nothimr to fear from me." Then
turning to Laura;
"I can understand the motive, the
temptation. The act remains."
"You may consider yourself released
from all ties with one whose act you do
not approve," said Laura.
"Be it so." and he turned to go.
Mark sprang forward and seized him
bv the wrist
"My God, this shall not be! You be
lieve that this is dne to more than an
ordinary womanly interest in Miss Fain
for me. It is not so. I swear to you, on
the honor of a gentleman and a soldier.
that Miss Fain has manif euted no other
feeling than one of comrsjheration for
man hunted for his life."
"Your words do you credit, sir. Miss
Fain, will you make my adieus to your
mother? And I leave it to you to lin
part to her whatever, if anything, you
may have to fay as to the reason for my
tare well to you.
He turned quickly and left the room.
CHAPTER XVIIL
OFF FOR THE UNION UNKS.
Mark's first impulse after Fitz Hugh's
departure was to leave the house at
once. He tried to say something to
Laura to soothe her, to excuse his own
unfortunate part in her breLking with
her lover. He could only go to her and
taking her hand kissed it without a
word. Then he told her that he should
takethe rik of capture and depart in
stantly. He was discouvsiuj npon the method
of his depa-ture in r;uick, excited tones,
when a horseman e itered the yard, andf
riding up to the veranda diew a letter
from his belt and handed it to a negro
who went out to receive it. It was for
Mrs. Fain. It had been sent through
the lines from Nashville, where her hus
band was lying dangerously ill, and
begged her to come to him.
After its perusal Mrs. Fain determined
to Bet out I he next day, taking with her
her daughter and the maid Alice. Daniel
would drive them.
"You shall go with us," said Laura to
Mark. "This is fortunate. In our com
pany you will be far safer than trying
to make your way alone."
It occurred to Mark that since he was
being hunted as a half starved creature
In the disguise of a negro girl he would
be less liable to suspicion as a well
dressed man traveling with a party of
southern ladies than in any other char
acter. At any rate he took this view of
it, and when Mrs. Faiu announced her
intention to go" he offered to escort tjie
party to the Union line9.
The offer was accepted, and prepara
tions were made to leave the next morn
ing. Mrs. Fain wrote a note to the officer
in command at Chattanooga (to send with
the letter she had received from her hus
band for his perusal) asking for a pass
for herself, her daughter and two serv
ants. Mark took the missives and went
out to find Daniel, who had just re
turned from Chattanooga.
"Well, Daniel?"
"I be'n dar."
"What did you learn?"
"I hearn ebery one talken 'bout soiers
goen to 'de norf, and dey sayd day was
goen to Knoxville. Dey was marchen 'n
marchen all de same way. I fullered 'n
dey brang up at de depot, 'n I sor one
train after anudder go out full o' sojers
inside and liangen on to de platfo'm and
on de roofs."
"How many trains did you see go out?"
' 'Bout forty hundred."
"Daniel," said Mark, smiling at the
figures, "you're smart as a whip. But
you'll have to go right back to Chatta
nooga, and take this note to the com
manding officer with this letter from
you&skit m..tr ta show him. The note
is a request for a pass for the party to
the Union lines. Keep your wits about
yon, and if he is an easy going sort of a
man, you might try to get him to put in
three servants instead of two. At any
rate try to ring me in if you can. Do
you understand?"
"Reckon I do, sah. .
"Can you read?"
"A leetle. Miasie Laura learned me."
"Well, read the pass he may give yon
and ask him to fix it so t hat it will in
clude me as a servant. But yon must use
your judgment."
Daniel drove again to Chattanooga.
Mark waited anxiously for his return.
Indeed so impatient was he that he
thought the negro had been gone twice
as long as he had when he saw him drive
into the yard. He at once went out to
the barn to meet him.
Any luck?" he asked anxiously,
I got de pass for misses and de res',
but I didn't get what yo' wanted. I got
a paper hyar. Mebbe it'll do."
Mark took the paper. It was a pass
for Thomas Green and wife from Chat
tanooga to the Union lines.
How did you get this, asked Mark,
surprised.
"I hab to wait while folks was getten
isses. De officer go out to de udder
room fur a moment. Dis was layen on
de desk 'n I tuk hit up and brung hit
away."
Well," said Mark, "it s not exactly
what I want, but ingenuity will have to
help me through. You re a trump,
Daniel."
In the morning when all was ready
for the departure two vehicles were
brought around to the door, the one, a
two horso carriage, the other Lanra's
phaeton, drawn by her pony. Mrs. Fain
entered the former with Alice, Daniel
being in the driver's seat. Laura and
Mark got into the phaeton.
Mark took the lead, designing to make
for Battle Creek. The distance was not
twenty miles, and he knew that they
could make it in a few hours. It was a
bold game ha was playing, but the
proximity of the halter was wearing on
him, and he desired to get rid of sus
pense. Besides his presence, connected
with his critical situation, was wearing
on Laura. He therefore felt an exhil
arating pleasure when they drove out of
the gate and trotted along the pike
westward. Hope cheered Mm.
All went well during the first ten or
twelve miles, when Mark received a
piece of information which seriously in
terfered with his plan. Moeting a
courier riding toward Chattanooga,
who looked as if he might be the bearer
of some important news, Mark hailed
him and asked if he had anything from
the front.
"The Yankees air getten no'th right
The only Pure Cream of Tartar Powder. No Ainiuotiia; No Alum.
Used in Millions Homes 40 Years tlie Standard
smart." the man replied, ''-r.eckou th'
air left Battle Creek."
' Mark argued that if this were true
there would le confusion on that route,
and it would be better to take another.
They were not far from the road leading
from the Chattanooga pike north to An
derson, on which the Slacks lived.
Mark concluded to take this road as far
as Anderson, and then strike west with
a view to reaching McMinnville on the
other side of the mountains. Mrs. Fain
left all to Professor Rhett, in whom she
had perfect confidence, and on coming
to the road in question Mark led tho
party northward.
