Have I not seen wy brothers, my frionds, those I have loved, those I havo played #with as' obildron, out down by either bullet or disease? For months I have 0votod myself to the care of the sick In 0o hospitals. There I learned to dread a long continuance of this strug gle. There I conceived the idea of do lug something to win success for our armies by giving them an advantage not posseaodd by the enemy. I consulted one high in rank. 'How can I give my life to the best advantage?' I asked. 'In the seoret service.' 'Point the way.' 'Do you know anything of telegraphy?' 'No, but I can learn.' 'Go and study a month and then come to me.' For a month I studied night and day. I learn ed to read words from the clicking of the keys as readily as I can read letters. I returned to my advisor. You know the rest." The general paced the floor with a clouded lirow. "I dread a catastrophe, " he said, "in the case of one inspired by such no ble sentiments. I dread to soo a woman esposod to ignominy, perhaps death." "If that time comes, general, God will give me strength to bear It." Who general was silent a moment and then asked abruptly: "Is your brother aware of what you are doing?" "He is." "And he consents?" "He does not. WO are individuals. Eo is one of the noblest of the south's legitimate defenders, but be is not re sponsible for my nots, one of its illegit imate machines. " "The pifiehor that goes often to the well is at last broken." "Then some one elseo will spring up to carry on the work. " "God grant that the day may be far distant-that it may never come. I can hardly approve of it, though you are working in my cause." "General,," said the woman, her face again lit3"ting as if inspired by some absorbing thought, "each side has an organized secret service. What general would dare report to his government that lie had acquired information which would enable him to destroy his ene my, but it had been obtained by illegit imate means, and he would not take advantage of it? Yet what general would care to be called a spy himself? We are engaged in a terrible struggle. Before its close any and all moans will be used to conquer. Cities will be burn ed, vast districts will be laid waste. Must I censo to employ the most effect ive method of all because I am doing illOgitimate work? Is my work more illegitimate than trying to conquer a people fighting for their independence?" The general made no reply for a time. "Yours is a singular family, " ho said presently. "You are all alike, and yet you differ. " "We are united in the cause; we differ as to the means." The interviow was interrupted by the ringhing of a dinner bell in the hall. The genem-al enalod a negro and bade him show Miss Baggs to a room up stairs, to which she retireod for a few minutes. The servant bronght in her belongings from the buggy, together with the little box. When she came down stairs, the party were hvalting for her before going in to dinner. Souri, who had seen her covered by the sun "For lover" bonnot and her eyes screened with* glasses, was astonished. She saw a woman three or four years older than herself, the beauty of her head and nook contrasting with the homeliness of her cstuimo. Miss B~aggs noticed Bouri's surprise, and going up to her took lh her hands and kissed her cheek. "You sweet child, " she said feeling ly, "you can't got nyor my appearance when you mot me on the road this morning, can you? What a fright must I have seemed to you! I don't 0are for those Yankee officers, but bless your innocent heart I can't bear to have shocked you." Souri did not reply in words, but she looked at Miss Baggs admiringly. "Dong think hard of me,'' the latter Went on,'drawing Bourn aside and mo tioning the rest to go on into the dining room. "I do only what I believe to be a duty, for you must suspect that I keep a secret. You could not play a part be. neathm you, child. You are too loving, too innocent, and yrou wonder how any other woman ean.' "I did onoc. " Ce-T 'up. 4 BY AMrJaCAN PRESS ASOCIA'It46. "Before I wcnt to school." "For your country?' 'No. "s Miss Baggs looked Into Sour-s deep eyes and asked softly: "For love?" Souri dropped her eyes to the)ow, but her qustioner, who by this time had put an arm around her, receiWed. nq reply. "Come, " sheeaid, "let us not'torture each other. I see we both have our se crets." She led the way to the dinner room, where the general and his staff were standing waiting .for the two women. The party wero joined by Farmer Slack #nd Jakoy, and all Pat down at a signal from the general. CHAPTER IV. A, QUERRILLA's HOMB. "A dispateh for you, general." An aid-de-oamp entered, followed by a tall, bronzed Confederate cavalryman with very muddy boots and a southern sombrero on his head.. In his hand he carried a' sealed envelope, on the loft hand oorner of which was printed, "Offlolal business." "Why not brizig it 'yourself?" asked the general, evidently put out at being interrupted at dinner. "Tho messenger says that he was in struoted to deliver it tono one but your self. It is from general headquarters.'' The man stalked in, his acoouter ments rattling as he did so, and remov ing his hat handed the general the com munication. He opened it, and seeing that it was in cipher handed it to a member of his staff who possessed the key and directed him to unravel it. It read as follows: HmAnquAnTln AnMY 3 A , To General -- Commanding Cavalry on Ex treme Right: Mir rrwoo lrddrx mexrr 1si krxn mn nbpy minsfso ut tLxwrax dar am mirwo gb igjq vvim kltvq ga ljsaga milckinginfy to lvdsvkwvgo. Egsl jwpxy tx bag w. MnAxTON BnAGO, Com'd'g. Scarcely had the general given the dispatch over for intorpretation when another from the samo source, which had come by telegraph, was handed him also, evidontly an inextricablo jumble of letters. This, too, was taken up by th* cipher offioor. In tho course of half an hour he handed intorpreta tions of both to his chief. The first road as follows: The enemy having taken the gaps, I will abandon my present line. Bo ready to form rear guard to troops retreating by University. Movo south at onco. Hero is the second: Enemy's telegram in cipher received. Can not Miss Bagge securo information of the en emy's intentions as to folowing this army across the Tennessee? Such information would enable us to be prepared if he attacks in con contratod form or rut him up in detail if ho divides. The general gave the two messages a few minute.' consideration, and then, dismissing the aid who had interpreted them, directed him to inform Miss Bagge that he would like to see her. When she entered, the general handed her the Interpreted copies of the two dispatches. "Here is a more kniportant work for you than any you have yet attemptd, " he said. She read both the dispatches and then thought a few minutes. "I am ready to undertake it, gen eral," she said, "but without iuch hope of success. I must first succee4 in taking off a message in which the plan of the Yankees is given or hinted at so oloarly as to be Inferred, and then it must be interpreted, for it will surely be in cipher. " "If you could succed in both, you would Insure us victory in the west, and that would be half the battle to the nse. " "I will undertake it. '" "You will be exposed to a frightful danger. " "You know, general, that I have do voted my life to this work. I conskder that as already sacrificed." "We move from here at once, as you seo by the order just reoeived. " "I will go with you a part of the way and watch an opportunity to slip back behind the Union lines. " With that Miss B~aggs went out, and the general began his preparations to cover the retreat of the right of the Confederate army. No further attention was paid to Fa'rmoer Slack and his family. Evident ly there was business of greater impor tance on hand, They went out on, to the doorstop, where they stood wondering what wvas going on about them. Every oneo was stirring. An orderly dashed up to the door loading an officer's horse ha'ddlod and bridled. An aid ran out of thet houso, and mounting in hot haste rode away. A man from an upper win dow onlled out to him: "Wh~lat's up?'' "They've scured the gaps." "'Which?" "Liberty and Hoover's. All of 'em." "W~ell, what of it?" "CWhat of it? It means retreat." And before the last word was spoken ho was out of sight. In a few minutes a bugle was heard. Its tones had soaroely died awvay before the camp was alive with men preparing to move. The farmer determined to got is children into the wagon as soon as pos uible. Ho had been gven his pass, which, for the preson a least, wai likely to be of little use, as ho would simply follow the army. The party'los{ no time in getting to the wagon and into It and drove down the read, Bnul they wereo too late. The way was choked were soon brought to a halt. The gei. oral dashed past, with his stad, an4 who should bo by his side, her striped dross covered with a gray riding skirt, a sombrero on her head, with a jaunty cook's feather encircling its crown, but Miss Baggs. Soeing the farmer's wagon waiting by the roadside, she reined in Bobby Lee beside Souri and took her hand. "Goodby, my dear. I trust that your innocent heart will not have to suffer more than the rest of us during the con thiuanoo of this fearful struggle. You know we are all being tried in a fiery furnace. We'll meet again. I know it. If you ever need any help or protection when our army is near, hunt up Betsy Daggs." "Whar's th' chickon coop?" called Jakey as she rode away.' "What chicken coop?" "Th' one on whools." "Oh, the buggy," she said, smiling. "I left that for the Yankees to pick up when they come along. " "Rats'll be ridin inter it, I rookon." "If he can find it, he's welcome to it," and with a laugh she dashed after the rest. Farmer Black only sucoeeded In get ting a few miles on the way before nightfall. Then, coming to a small vil lage, he made up his mind that it would be better to sloop there than attempt to go on through a country being abandon ed by one force to be immediately ocou pied by another. He know well the crowdod condition of the roads and the perils of night travel. So singling out a house beside the road, which was the main street of the place, and seeing a woman standing in the door, ho asked if she would give him and his party a night's lodging. "Reckon I kin keep you uns, but hain't got no stablin fo' the oritters. " "Oh, I kin find a place fo' them uns, " said Slack, and handing out his daughter sho went into the house with Jakey, while the farmor drove off to find shelter for the horses. Jakey wish ed to go with him, but his father bade him stay with Souri. The woman of the house was depress ed. She was not strong, and the contin ued successive occupation of the country by Union and Confederate troops for more than a year had completely worn her out. And now auother shifting was at hand. At first she had spoken her son timents freely. They were with the Confoderacy, but lately she had come to endeavoring to find out the sentimonts of strangers bcforo betraying her own. Wondering whether sho was harboring Unionists or secessionists, sho began to question Jakey. "Reckon you uns live nigh 'bout hyar, don't y', boy?" "Nigh enter th' Soquach." "Lot me fill that kettle for you," said Souri, socing the woman about to take up a wooden bucket she was scarce ly able to lift. The woman suffered her and went on making inquiries of Jakey. "Thur mixed over thar'. Somo's Un ion, 'n somo's secsh. Which air yor paw?" "Waal. I ben ter ;kulo a year, 'n paw he mought 'a' changed sonco I wont away. " "Don't say 'mought,' Jakey, dear," said Souri. The woman looked at Jakey inquir ingly. "Y' couldn't 'a' l'arned much at skulo of y' reckon a man's gaoin ter chauge sides in this hyar fight. Th' git wusser 'n wusser. Still of ye'd ben hyar ye'd l'arncd thet. Reckon y' ben no'th to skulo?" "We have been north-in Ohio," said Souri as she p~ut the kettle on the stove. It was midnight at the little frame house where slept the Slack family. Farmer Slack was awakened by a pound ing at the front door. Then he hoard the woman by whom they were shelter ed got up, and going to the door lat some one in. The partition was tbmn, and every word that was said could be plainly hoard. "Lordy, Boen, whar did y' come from?" sked the woman. "'Tullahomy." "Whar y' gain ter?" "Up inter the mountings. " "What fur?" "Ter lay low till the armies move on south. Th in we uns 're gein ter hang in the tailens of the Yanks. Thur's bet tor feedin than thur is behind Confeder ates." "Oh, Ben, I wish you'd stop this business. Go0 'ni jino one o' the armies, I don't keer which. Only stop this kind o' work. " "Polly, you know I've boon driv to| 't. What have thoy left us? Nothini but this house. Ef I didn't rake among the refuse that the Yankees leave behind 'em, whar w'd you 'n th' children be?'' "But why air y' Ieavin now, Ben? What does 't all mean, tho mien goin south? Hlain't th' gemn ter fight at Tul lyhomy?" "Thor gittin outon Tullyhomy this very minute. " "How d'yo know?" "I keom from thar this afternoon. The trains were gein outon the place loaded with supplies. What's them things doin than?'' lHe pointed to some of the belongings of the Black family. The farmer could hear the woman caution bor husband to speak low, but by that time Slack's oar was at a crack. "Thor's a family hyar stayin all night, " she whispered. "Any orittors?" "Two, but I don't want y' tor take 'enm, lion. It's onnateral. Thur's a sweet young gal ez helpod me gi t sup per, 'n I wouldn't hov nothin happen to liar fur the world.'' "I won't take thur critters tel after y' git me somep'n Ier eat. Coamo, be lively, my dear. I hievn't hied a squar' meal in two days. " "Whar's the gang?" "'I loft 'emt a mile t'other side o' th' townt. We got ter git inter th' nioun tings afore th' Fedorals come along. Whar air the young uns?" "'In thar." The farmer otld see the man go into a room into which the candle from the one adjoining cast a dim light. 'Thle put his lean face down lioside the round warm ohook of a child and groaned. "Jakey," whispered Farmer Black, $akey awakened, but could not mak< it known, el'cause his father had clap pod his hva;.l over his mouth. "Be t: . my boy, till I git yes clothes. .. 't yer make no sound to yer life. 's m:. a guerrillas in th' house.' The farmor got Jakey's clothes and his own. They put thom on, using al possible oaution. Then the farmor tool his .on's hand and led him on tiptoo t< the opodl window. Ono thoro, he took him up in his arms, and passing him through it dropped him on the ground a few feet below. Then Black got through himself and dropped beside Jakoy. "Now for the stable, my son." Going aoross some vacant lots, they reachod the stable and took out both the horses. "Jake, " said the father, "I'm goin to the headquarters of the Federals. I want yer to stay 'In take keor o' yor sis ter. " "Souri don't need no one ter take koor o' her. " The farmor went back into the sta blo, leaving Jakoy to hold the horses, and brought out a addle and bridle. " Waal, Jake, " he said presently, "she's a gal 'n may uoed y'." "What yer goin fo'?" "T' tell 'em the southern men air gittin outon Tullyhomy. 'T may make a lot o' diffor ter th' cause.'' "Why can't I go 'n do thet?" The farmer made no reply. He wont on equipping the horse for a ride, but he was thinking. After all, wouldn't a boy have a better ohance to get through than a man? Ho had great confidence in Jakoy's abilities in this direction, "Jakccu," vispc-red. Farmer Slack. for they had been tested long befor near the beginning of the war. Then hi disliked to leave his daughter withou protection in a lawless torritory. "Jake," ho asked at last, "do y think y' c'd do 't?" "Reckon." "I kin put y' on th' road 't Manchoi ter. Thar or beforo y' git thar y' find Yankoo. Bnt yer powerful litt: fo' sloh a job. " And tho farmor lookc at his son undocidedly. "Do y' think I'm a babby ter be rol ed in a cradlo?" "No, Jakey. Yor a 'markablo litt chap. Thur's not 'nother boy o' you ago livin I'd trust to carry this mnessagi I reckon I'll lot y' try it.'" Slack took Jakoy up in his arms an sat him on the horzc. Thei ho ahorter ed the stirrups till all tho holes in th straps wore exhausted, when ho ou new ones, making tho length a prope one for Jakoy's little logs. "Now, Jake, " said his father in tone that bespoke a desiro to put resol tion into himself and tho boy at th same time, ''tell th' Federal gonorn that a guorr illa kom to the house whai we war sloopin and tolo his wife the the southern men air gittin outon Tul lyhomy. lie keom from thar this after neon. 'N, my boy, oz I often tolo y afore, remember yer a Uniener 'n haini't afraid o' nethin. Thar's th' read. " "Tom, you git. " CHAPTER V. CARRYING THE NEWS. H1ad net Jakey Slack possessed a stoui hoart he would have qualled at pushini out in the middle of a dark night on e road of which he had no knowledg< and possessing. the disadvantage of be ing occupied by neither Union nor Con federate troops. Between the rain and the artillery and the wagons, the roads were all out to pieces. Water stood every whore, and often where the way passoc over a depression in the ground it was necessary to pass through small lagoons. This in the daytime, when one mighi keep the read by observing the fences, when there were any, would not hav< been so difficoult, but overshadowed b3 the great black wings of night thor< was absolutely no guide save by fooling underfoot or an occasional glimmoi ahead indicating that tho way la3 through an opening in the forest. Tom floundered along at a very slow pace. Jakey found it not only dimfiull to keop him in the road, but impossibk( to keop out of mudholes wvhen on It. Now Tom's fore legs would siunk into c soft spot and again would splash into deep rut, or one lug wvould be in the rui while tho othor was on the highe1 ground. Then he would flounder, whil< Jakey hold on to the saddle with all hii strength to keep from being thrown of by Tonm's wvrithings. All the while drizzling rain was slowly working it: way through Jakoy's jacket to got a the skinz. Trho boey tried to guide hi horse for awhile, but fuially concludes that Tlom wvas far bettor qualified t< find his wvay thani ho was himsolf, an< dropping the reins on the pommel a the saddle turnied his undivided atton tion to keeping his seat.

But if Jakey understood him lie mad no comment on the remark. lHe ha< placed Tom in command and did no propose to interfere. Just before morning the darknos grow thicker. Tonm had for severs miles proved himself worthy of the con fidoec reposed ini hinm and kept th road, but all of a sudden lhe brought u against a snake fonco. Jakoy was discouraged.

It Is Still Indulged in by a Grea Many Amerioana. A Now York Tobacconist Gives Some In teresting Information About the Production and Consuniptiou of the Articlo. If the ghost of a man of Queen Anne' time could revisit this world in thxes< days it is probablo that lie would no be more surprised by his deecidants advance in material achieveien ts tiaut grieved at the general disappeairance o the snuff box, that indispenwablo ar ticle in the equipment of every gentle man11xi of high fashion on which thl beaux of his age and of that succeeding, lavished extravagant sums.

If he chose to dip into tlhi United States internal revenue stati. tics he would find that the yearly pro duction of snuff in this country is larg enough to insure to each inhabitant v supply of at least two ounces, the tota output averaging eight mi11101 pounds.
