'Do you take me to be your husbandt"
The house occupied by Major Talia
ferro belonged to a family who had
gladly given up a portion of it for the
safety insured by the presence of a com
manding officer. The major was given
a room down stairs for an office, and a
bedroom np stairs. When it Was decid
ed that Mark and Laura should remain
he gave Mrs. Green, as he called her,
the use o? the latter & the purpose of
arranging ber toilet before supper.
When Laura was up stairs Mark was
looking out of the window of the ma
jor's office. He saw the men ride off to
overtake Mrs. Faiu. To fain consterna
tion an-tho csvaJ j .4.wte'ilit letter
in his belt, uk untcd his horse and dashed
down the road.
Laura came down at that moment, and
Mark suid to her anxiously.
"I am detained on suspicion. I shall
be taken back to Chattanooga," and he
pointed to the courier.
The color left Laura u cheeks. They
bod got so near to safety, and now, after
so many dangers, the end was at hand.
She could scarcely sustain herself as she
tottered into the room occupied as the
office.
This is the letter the courier bore
northward. It was addressed on the
envelope to Captain Cameron Fitz Hugh,
near Dun lap:
Aniiekson, Aug. 20, 18(12.
Mr Dear Camekon A man purporting- to
be Thomas Green, with his wife, formerly a
Miss Fain, of Chattanooga, is here, desiring a
paas to the Union lines. There la something
auBpictoos about the man. The couple are sep
arated from the wife's mother, aad the father
ilea very ill at Nashville. 1 dislike to detain
tbem, and 1 do not renrd It safe to pass thein.
Can you help ae out of the difficulty? Yours
very truly, Wallace Taliab-eiuio.
Major Taliaferro soon joined Mark
and Laura in his office, and offering his
arm to Laura. l.tlie way.to Ihe supper
room. His treatment of both was inoct
deferential, but it failed to deceive either
that they were prisoners.
There was a strength of nerve In Mark
that would not break while there was
hope. He chatted with the host or jailer,
whichever he might be called, with ease,
and at times with gayety. Not so Lanra.
The situation was too frightful for her
to endure without some manifestation
of anxiety, She ate nothing. She did
not hear what was said to her, and her j
eys plainly showed the troubled spirit I
within. Mark made no reference to her
condition till after supper. Then, when
all three went out on to the veranda, he
laid to her:
"Come, let ns take a stroll. Yon have
been traveling all day, and this delay
troubles vou. A walk in the air will re-
rive you."
Mark assumed with such apparent
carelessness that he was free to walk
about where he liked that Taliaferro
had not the will to stop him. Besides
he had no heart to interfere with the
pleasure of a woman whom he was pre
tending to treat, as a guest. The couple
walked leisurelv down the road. Mark
looking at the sunset tints with well as-
lumed indifference, occasionally point-
ing to some object by the way or iu the
distance, calling Laura's attention to it
at the same time. He kuew the major's
c-a wm. fiied virion him. and he was
doing all this for a pnrpose,
The road led straight from the house
a short distance and then entered a
wood. As eoon as they were concealed

behind the tress Marlr stopped suddenly
and turned to L.nra:
"My God, this is terrible!"
"Yon are lost!" said Laura faintly.
She could scarcely speak the words.
"I? Yes, I. But you what have I
led yon into? Why was it not over on
that morning who.! it was intended?
Then you would not be implicated; now
your good name is"
"No one will trouble tee," she gaBped.
"But you they will drag you"
"You have protected me a spy. Not
only that that is nothing in comparison
with having passed as my wife. There
is a blight."
"I can bear it."
"There is but one way out of this dis
grace, xou must be married before we
return to that house. And to whom?"
his voice changed from a rapid, excited
tone to deepest g!oom "to one who must
die die on the scaffold. At any rate
you will be free. You will be a widow."
Laura stood, the very impersonation
of despair.
"All I can do to atone for this," Mark
went on rapidly, "and it is nothing is
to make you my wife, siuce I have passed
you as Buch. Laura, will you marry me?"
She looked nt him earnestly. Her
eyes were big with deep emotion. There
was a look in them that he could not un
derstand.
"No!"
"Then I ca:. uo nothing lov you."
"I will marry only the man who loves
me, and whom I love."
"Oh, Laura," he said, "if your heart
were only mine, then it would be dif
ferent. I love yon so woll, I worship
you with such fervor that I would go
back to that dreadful jail without a
word could I place you where you were
before you met me. But you"
Laura burst into a torrent of tears.
This man, who had so suddenly ap
peared in bur life; who had won her
sympathy; who had compelled hor ad
miration; who had absorbed her whole
being into his daring, chivalrous, reck
less nature this man loved her, and he
was doomed.
With a cryBhe threw her arms eround
his neck.
"Laura, sweetheart," said Mark, ca
ressing her, "we have but little time.
We know not whom we shall have to
face. My true character must soon bo
known. Will you give yourself to oiie
who will doubtless tomorrow be claimed
by"
Palo as ashes she put her hand over
his nioutb that he miht net speak the
word "dfath.-; " '
"Will you? fitwak!"'
"Yes, now, quick; what can we dor
"Marry ourselves."
"How?"
He grasped her hand. There was a
ring upon it a plain gold band, He
took it off, uud putting it on her finger
again A) id;
"I, Mark"
"Ih it really Mark?"
"Yes, I am Mark Maynard, I, Mark,
take you, Laura, to be my wife. Do you
take me to be your husbandr
"I do."
I "Then we are man and wife in the
tight of God"
"And for man we care not."
I' "Man and wife under the law. We
are really married."
' Scarcely was this hurried ceremony
over when a cavalryman came riding
leisurely from the direction of head-
quarters. He had been sent by Major
Taliaferro who, as soon as Mark was
ont of sight, became anxious with re-
gard to him with instructions to keep
him in sight without appearing to do so.
There was nothing left for them to do
but return to the honse. As they walked
Murk whispered:
"I feel again all the confidence I have
ever felt. I must live to make you happy,
Be ready for anything that may happen,
my darling, my wife. I ahull doubtless
play some bold game; I don't know
i what, but it will lie bold. If I leave
you suddenly, meet me (should I succeed
in my attempt) within the Union lines.
If not, we will meet in heaven."
These few words were al1 thut Murk
had time to say to his newly married
wife. For scarcely had they turned to
go back when they met the major. He
was uneay lest Mark should depart
without leave. He accompanied them
buck to the house.
CHAPTER XX.
FLI'ilTT.
It was nine o'clock in the evening.
Major TaliKferro and his guests wore
sitting in his office room chatting, A
clutter of horses' hoofs wan beard at the
j front of tbe house and some oue dls
I mounted. In another moment there was
a tramp of cavalry boots in the hall; all
turned to the open door and there stood
Captain Cameron Fitz Hugh.
i n a moment h regarded Mark and
Laura sternly; then advancinj a faw
tepa he bowed low to Lanra.
"Captain," said the major rising, "I
suppose it is useless to deny to this lady
and gentleman that I deemed it my duty
to make sure of their identity before al
lowing them to pass. The fcniily to
which they claim to belong is known to
you; therefore I sent to you for informa
tion. I see you have answered my in
quiry in person. If yon vouch for them
I shall be happy to pass them in the
morning, and shall apologize for their
detention at the same time my excuse
being the cause we serve."
All eyes were fixed on Fitz Hugh,
Mark's and Laura's with ill concetled
anxiety.
"This was Miss Fain," sai l Fitz Hugh.
"She would not be traveling aa uny
man's wife unless she were married U
him. If you detain them, you must do
so on your own responsibility.
Eoth Mark and Laura drew a sigh of
relief.
'I have no desire to detain them,"
said Taliaferro, "aftr what you have
aid, but it is altogether too late for
them to proceed tonight. The only
amends I can make for discommoding
them ia to make them comfortable.
Mrs. Green, your room is ready for you."
'If you had not been my rival t would
tore you as a brother."
The pain that would otherwise have
attended this Bcene was alleviated in
Laura's heart by the delight she felt at
a prospect of safety for her husband.
She -ave her former nffinnced a look of
gratitude. Then she glanced at Mark
for instructions. Seeing no hint in his
eyes she passed out of the room and went
up stairs.
"Captain," said Mark, "may I beg a
cigar? I nsuallv sinoke at this time of
night."
"Here are cigars, gentleman," said
Taliiuexro, luuuucing a box.
"If you smoke, captain," added Mark,
"I shall be pleased with your company."
"With ploasnre."
All lighted cigars, and Mark and
Fitz Hugh strolled out on the veranda.
"Captain," said Mark as soon as they
were outside, "I have never met a man
whom I have so admired, so honored, as
you, and yet I have robbed you of your
love. This last act of kindness to her
and to me, so well indicating your mag
nanimity, is more than I can bear. I
cannot accept anything more, even for
hor sake. I cannot stay here to lie
shielded by you and behind her skirts.
I am about to leave this veranda and fly
to the Union lines. Thank God, I have
met one who is the soul of honor, in
whose charge I leave my wife, ConBider
herundor your care. She will doubtless
need all you can give her, for I never
expect to see. her again. I shall doubt
!ef m be captured before tomorrow noon.
If you werd not my enemy, if you had
not been my rival, I vould love you as
a brother."
Without waiting for a reply Mark lqft
the veranda,, and in. an itlu-u moment
was lost in the darkness. -,
Captain Fitz Hugh stood ns one petri
fied, bo many conflicting emotions wer
within him thut nothing seemed real. .
For a time he was in a sort of nrujKir.
When he emetged from it the first thing
that took definite siiupe in his mind was
a deliberation as to what he should do.
Should he go in and confess all to the
major? Should he keep the secret
Laura's secret? He leaned against a
pillar of the veranda and passed his hand
over his brow.
He could not stab Laura; he could not
even betray the man who bad left her in
hie care. He did nothing.
Hulf an hour had elapsed when Talia
ferro, who had been busying himself
witli some papers, began to wonder what
had lcome of the two men. He got up
and went out on the veranda.
"Where's Green?" he asked quickly.
"Gone."
"Gone?"
"Yes, gone half an hour ago."
"What does this mean, Cameron?"
"It means that I have been keeping
from you what I can keep no longer or
I would. This man Green is a Fcdetul
spy."
Taliaferro threw up his hands iu hor
ror.
"And you have been protecting him!"
"Yes."
"Cameron my friend great (iod
are you a traitor? There is something
back tell m, quick."
"Twice More he has crossed my path.
He was taken and tried at Chattanooga.
I was detailed to defend him. I had
never seen him before. He was found
guilty and sentenced to be hanged, but

"When I met him again it was at the
Faius' house. Laura Fain, tli6 woman
up stairs, then my betrothed, but now
his wife, was concealing him."
"Well?"
"I saw thut she was infatuated with
iiiin. She claimed him for her guest.
r
"Well, go on."
"I could not honorably inform ou
him."
"Oh, Camerou what absurdity
what idiocy what."
"This afternoon you sent for me. I
came. 1 sa the man I had Been twice
before with my with the loveliest, the
noblest of all women his wife."
The major only stared at his friend;
he had no words to express his feelings,
his sympathy,
"When we came out here he told ma
that he would accept nothing farther
for himself at my hands; that he would
not shield himself behind a woman's
skirts. He walked away beforo rue."
"And you"
"I permitted him."
Taliaferro shuddered. He knew that
his friend by his act had placed himsalf
in a terrible position.
"Cameron," he said, "do you know
jon are liable to be shot for this?'
"I do." ,
"I always told yon," the major went
on anxiously, impatiently, "that your
notions of honor were absurd, quixotic."
"The highest sense of honor is never
quixotic. It is best fitted for a Christian,
a soldier and a gentleman."
"And do you expect me to let this
spy go?"
"Vo. Protect yomselt' the cause.
Send after him. . It is I who have con
nived at his eeoitpe, not you. You must
not suffer."
"The cause alone is enough."
"Orderly,"' ha culled to a ninn stand
ing by thfc gate.
, The soldier approached and stood at
attention.
"Go tell Captain Heath that the man
who was here this evening has gone, and
I want hnn followed and brought back.
Tell him to send by all the roads."
Hit man saluted and went away.
"Cameron," suid the major, after giv
ing the order, "Gcd grant that this act
of yours uiuy not be known. It will not
be, for I am the only one who knows of
It, and it will never pass my lips."
"I am responsible for my act, and if
It becomes known I trust I shall hava
courage to meet tbe condequeuees like a
man."
"And now, Wallace," ho continued,
"I am going. The young wife who was
left in my charge I leave in yours. I
would gladly protect myBelf, but I
prefer to apart) her tho pain of being
under my protection. If her husband is
taken and she needs me, send for me."
"Cameron, you ure leading me to
hope that lie will not be taken."
Fitz Hugh went to the gate near by,
where his horse was standing, and
mounting rode away. m

A proiniueut advertiser, a member of
the firm ot Iitill Bros., of New York, bus
tbe following to say regarding advertis
ing iu a recent issue of Printer's Ink:
Advertising, such ae the elevated can
and sign boards, do not bring direct re
turns that possibly can be traced, eucb
as the newspapers do. True, the news
papers cost four times aa much, hat there
w often some utiiatuoti in in tracing your
Ads. Thestre iiroMratcra.js. ball sonve-

"you should also, to be sueanwltil in
business, be an easy lussr; that is, ym
should be williug to mark, at certain sea
sons n the year, your stoak down to tmat
or lH than cost, Jind then not be afraid
to spend aome money in newspaper a I -vertising
to announce the fact. You
miiiht fiyura this as a double loss, hut it
is not. Customers will purchase what
on advertise, and will then know your
store, recommend yon to their friends,
and trade with you during the year. "
