ARK designed driving to An derson. some twelve miles from the Slacks' house, whences he knew there was a road leading up in the mountains * through a place called Altamnont, some twenty miles farther, to McMinnville. He was informed by people he met on the road that Altamont had been re cently occupied 'iu force by the Union troops. With luck they might reach the Union lines, which would doubt less extend seve'ral miles from Alta mont, that afternoon. "Within six hours," said Mark. "I shall either be 'safe among Union sol diers or on my way back to Chatta Booga." Laura shuddered. but said notMing. Mark found a very different condi tion of affairs at Anderson from what he had found along the road. The Confederates had some cavalry force there and more at Dunlap, five miles north.. On the road he heard that Gen eral Bragg was at Dunlap. but with no troops save cavalry. "I see it all," said the spy to him self. "The wily fox is confronting our forces with a handful of cavalry. while the two divisions of Cheathamn and SWithers are marching north behind him..and the main force bas gone to Knoxville by rail on a line still fartber - east. No wonder our generals are puz zled and watching a line from Dattle creek to Cumberland gap. If the Lord will only let me~ get Ihrough to carry tihis information. I'! never ask to live to go on another sueb expedition." The party were stoplped near Andier son by a picket. Mrs. Fain produced her pass and strated that the two be bind were in ber~ company. The officer took no espediai care in reading it, and when Mark and Laura came 'up they got safely through without question. Mark was now anxious about the picket which must be passed in a few minutes on the road leading west from Anderson. Mrs. Fain was still ahead. and he hoped that all would go as well as at the picket just passed. Not a word was spoken between him and Laura; both dreaded getting out of An derson. but once past the next picket they would -breathe easier. When they reaebed it Mrs. Fain had been passed through and gone on. The Sofficer in command. bowever, had read the pass carefully. He had not noticed any mention of Mark in it. "Where's your pass?" he ask-ed. "Didn't the lady ahead show it to you?" asked Mark., "Her pass didn't include you." "D!an't It?" Mark feigned surprise. ~ 4.: !SA WAR STORY nerican Press Association). "No." "Oh. I forgot; mine and my wife's is separate." and he drew out the pass of "Thomas Green and wife." Meanwhile Laura had turned white as a cloth. The officer read the pass, and would doubtless have let them go had he not noticed Laura's agitation. "You'll have to go back to headquar: ters and get Major Taliaferro's order on that. He commands at Anderson." Mark'remonstrated. He argued that he would become separated from Mrs. Fain; he urged his wife's desire to reach her sick father. All in vain. He was told that the headquarters were only half a mile down the road and he would lose but little time. He made a virtue of necessity and drove back with apparent good nature. The commanding officer had gone to Dunlap, five miles away, to pay his respects to General Bragg, and would not be back for an hour or two. Mark resolved to report his absence to the officer of the picket post, in the hope that he would not be compelled to wait. He drove to the picket and used his tongue persuasively, but to no purpose. The more anxious he seemed the more resolved grew the captain. There seemed to be nothing to do but return and' await 'the arrival of the commanding officer. Mark reluctantly turned the horse's head and drove back to headquarters. Laura'i beart sank within her. It 'was sunwet when Major Taliaferro, a pleasant looking man of twenty-sev en or twenty-eight. rode up to the door and eutered the ottive. "Major Taliaferro?" asked Mark. "At your servi(e. sir." "Major. I ha ve. been detained by the officer at the picket. wh, wants your name on my pass. M1y wife's mother has gone on. and her daughter i. very anxious to join her. It is~ extremely unfortunate for us to get so far sep arated from Mrs. Fain." "Fain, of the Fains of Chattanooga?" "The same." "I1 have heard of the family. bnt have never had the pleasure of meeting any member iof It. One of my friends is engaged to Miss Fain. I have just parted from him at Dunlap." Mark and Laura cast a quick glance at each other-a glance of terror on the paFt of Laura. "We are fortunate in falling into your hands," said Mark. "angi I beg you will not delay us a moment." And Mark handed him the pass. "Certainly not." And the major took up a pen to write his indorsement. First he read the pass carefully. He was thinking of what his friend Fitz Hugh had ,told him of the Fains. He was under the impression that there was but one daughter. "Mr. Green,"?' he said., looking up from the pass. "hadn't you better stay here over nighti The road is moun tainous and infested by guerrillas. It is positively dangerous to travei." "By no means. What would Mrs.. Fain think of our not joini-ng her on the road?" "It is dangerous for her as well as you. I'll send a messenger after ber and advise her stopping at some farm house. I'll do better than that. I'll send a corporal and half a dozen men to insure her safety till morning." There was something in the man's tone, polite as.it was, that indicated to Mark that he' was held for further In" formation. "As you please, major." "And I shall insist upon your accept ing my hospitality. One connected in any way with my friend Fitz Hugh must not want for any comfort I can! supply." The house occupied by Major Talla ferro belonged to a family who had gladly given up a portion of it for the safety insured by the presence of a! commanding officer. The major was given a room down stairs for an of fe, and a~ bedroom up stairs. When it was deelded that Mark and Laura should remain he gave Mrs. Green. as he called her, the use of the latter for the purpose of arranging her toilet before supp)er. 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. Fain. To his con sternation another cavalryman, with a letter 'in his belt, mounted his horseK and dashed down the road.I Laura came down at that moment, and Mark said 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's cheeks. They had got so near to safety, and now, after so many dangers, the end was at! hand. She could scarcely sustain her self as she tottered into the room oc cupied as the office. This is the letter the courier bore 1 northward. It was addressed on the envelope to Captain Cameron F3itz Hugh, near Dunlap: Anderson, Aug. 29. 1862. My Dear Cameron--A man purporting to be Thomas Green. with his wife, formerly a Miss Fain of Chattanooga. Is here. de siring a pass to the Union lines. There is somethinzg suspicious about the man. The mnUler. 'and -T olner ies ve7rv 1 at Nasnville. I disi...e tu detain tiun . and I J0 not regard it safe to pass them. Can you help me out of the difficulty? Yours very truly. WALLACE TALIAFERRO. Major Taliaferro soon joined Mark and Laura in his office, and offering bis arm to Laura led the way to the supper room. His treatment of both was most deferentiol. but it failed to deceive either that they were prison ars. There was a strength of nerve in Mark that would not break while there was hope. He chatted with the host Dr jailer, whichever he might be call od. with ease, and at times with gay ty. Not so Laura. The situation was too frightful for her to endure without ome manifestation of anxiety. She ite nothing. She did not hear what was said to her, and her eyes plainly howed the troubled spirit Nvithin. Nark made no reference to her corfil ti6n till after supper. Then. when all three went out on to the veranda, he aid to her: "Come, let us take a stroll. You *DO YOU TAXIC HE TO BE YOUR HUSBAND ?" have been traveling all day, and this lelay troubles you. A walk in the air will revive you."

Her eyes were big with C "ep emotion. rhere was a look in them that he ouid not understand. "No!" "Then I can do nothing for you." "I will marry only the man who loves me, and whom 1 love." "Oh, Laura." he said. "If your heart :ere only mine, then It would be dif erent. I love you so well, I worship r'ou 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.

With a <-ry she threw her arms troud his neck. "Laura. sweetheart," said Mark. ca essin.g her. "we have but little time. We know not whom we shall have to ~ace. My true character must soon be mown. Will you give yourself to one who will doubtless tomorrow be claim ad by" Pale as ashes she put her hand over 2s mouth that he might not speak the word "death." "Will you? Speak!" "Yes, now. quick; what can we do?" "Marry ourselves." "How?2" le grasped her band. There was a -ing upon It-a plain gold band. He :ook it off, and putting it on her finger igain said: "I, Mark" "Is It really Mark?" "Yes, I am Mark Maynard. L, Mark. :ake you. Laura. to be my wife. Do ou take me to be your husband?" "1 do" "Then we are mau and wife in the ight of God" U. And for man we care not." "Man and wife under the law. We are really married." Scarcely was this hurried ceremony over when a cavalryman came riding toward,them to watch Mark. There was nothing left for them to do but return to the house. As they walked Mark whispered: I 1 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 shall doubtless play some bold game; I don't know what, but it will be bold. If I leave you suddenly, meet me (should I succeed in my attempt) with In the Union lines. If not, we will meet-in heaven." (To be continued). Is Your Skin on Firel Does it seem to you that you can't stand another miaute if thEt awful burning itch? That it MTUS'T be cooled?
