SWEET REVENGE BY Captain P. A. MI'ICHIL, Author of "0hattanooga," "lucka maug'a, Etc. Copyright, 1897, by Iharper & Brothere. CHAPTIR XIII. DELEAGUERED. STRANGE that men will never learn the terrible advantage of a force posted on an Impreg nable position, protected by breastworks and able to pour shot down a steep hill at an enemy. Two men, two girls and a boy had defeated the guerrillas and sent them back to their camp. I did not fear another at tack. What I dreaded was starvation. Indeed, I could see plainly that our ene mies were preparing to carry out the starvation plan. Several of them went in different directions, doubtless for food. One of them passed quite within range. "I'm goin to plunk that one," said Buck. I caught his arm, and gave him a re proof which for a while at least caused him to remember that I was in com mand. "I wish they'd attack us again," said the irrepressible boy. "I could 'a' hit that doggone 'butternut' if somep'n hadn't joggled my arm." There had been nothing to joggle the boy's arm, but I thought it best to let him keep up his pride-it would make him more serviceable-so I said noth ing. "I aimed right at the middle of his breast," continued Buck, "but Just then he Jumped over a stone, an I missed him." "I thought some one joggled your arm?" "Some one did. Ginger, yo' consarn ed old nigger, what d' yo' go joggle mue fo' just as I was goin to plunk lim?" "I didn't joggle yo', Mars' Buca." "Was it you, Hel'n?" "No." "Somebody did, or I'd 'a' hit him, shol" If ever a party needed breakfast, it was ours. Helen unrolled the little parcel of provisions. I directed her to serve a half ration, or, rather, half of what there was an( save the rest. She did so, handing me my portion, which I declined, but she argued that it was important for all that I shoul( keep up my strength and finally prevalled on me to eat my share. Jaqueline and Buck ate theirs ravenously. Each of us went to where the wvater was drip ping from the cleft and caught the drops In our mouths. Buck, when he had finished his breakfast, like Oliver Twist, asked for more. It made my heart ache to refuse him, but there was no alternative. One danger was dwarfed by the greater perils that surroundled us, yet it w~as no less impliortant. My wound was liable to put mec hors (Ie combat at any moment. Fortunately until my dash from the guerrilla camplj I had not been subject to any physieal strain, and by that time it had healed suflicatly to prevent its Opening. At any rate, it gave me no trouble. Thie first tihing Helen asked after a lull in the fighting was about this wvound. She insisted on dressing it for me, and I permnittedl her to do so. She wound around it a fresh bandage torn from may shirt sleeve and was pinnuig it when, look ing up at me, she said: "You're not the fir-st one of our men I've assisted with bandages." Her remark cut mle like a knife. It was plain that she was making this effort, incurring this danger, believing me to be a Confeder-ate. "I can't understand all these troubles that surroundI you," she wvent on. "Why not explain ?" "You know I'm charged with being in league with the Yankees." "Yes, but your accusers are robbers and murderers. If I thought that" She broke off with a frown and turned away. "The guerrillas built a fire and, after cooking and eating breakfast, loitered about, some chatting, some playing cards, wile others devoted themsel ves to their wounded companions, making them as comfortable as possible on beds of boughs coveredI with blankets. I took advantage of their inaction to learn how Buck had succeeded ho de livering his message to the scost he was to meet at IHuntsville, As I ,touid not question him befor-e the others without giving up my secret, I .lrew him into the cleft behind us. "Buck, did you find the man 5 sent you to meet at Huntsville?" "Reckon I did." "Tell me about it." "All right. As soon as I gg Into town I went right to the squar am stop ped in front o' the hotel. I hitched my von" a post an went inside. A man In we office saId, 'Sonny, what d' ye' C want?' an I Bald, 'I'm gemn up om the r gallery,' an he said, 'What to'? an I C said, *Fo' to see the town.' Th'en I went up stairs an waited till I heard the clock strikin an counted thi'teen." "Not 13, Buck. Clocks don't Er-ike 18." "Well, don't ye' see, that clok at Huntsville is a different kin4, It struck either thi'teen or fo'teem, I couldn't tell which." I "Never mind tihe clock. You'te in- e renting all this. Go on." "Well, just as the clock struck a mnnt he came out on to the gallery, He had C the doggonest eyes i ever saw-just t] like the welf's In 'Red Riding Hood.' 0 At first he didn't take any notico 0' s me, lookin 'a if lhe was bothered 'cause c I was thar an lhe expected somebody. P; Then he watched me with those sharpu eyes o' his'n, an at last he said kind o' ft gruff, "Tis a fine day, boy,' an I said, & said I-what was it 1 was to say?" "'eckon you're weather wilse, str-an. al bOe, I tknow, bu I couldn't re- t on yo'rei weather beato, stag,.
