CHAPTER V
A CHANGK OK KKONT
"Trass hint up good,” said one
“Theso rebels are not to be trusted even
when they are tied.”
1 gave careful notice to the man who
spoke, evidently the leader of the party
Ho was of middle size, middle a/o and
truculent features. His most noticeable
characteristic was his drooping eyelids,
which would induce the casual observer
to think ho was fast asleep, though in
reality ho was wide awake Ho was
dressed in the uniform of a captain in
the British army 1 set him down as .a
partisan chief on a small scale Ho had
five comrades, cast in the same mold*as
himself, all dressed in British soldiers’
uniforms and rather wild of look
They bound mo securely and set me
with my back to the log and my face to
the lire, much in the position that I had
occupied while the girl was singing
Confound her for lulling away my can
tiou and suspicious in such a manner! 1
had no doubt now that she had seen the
red uniforms of the British when first 1
went into the wood to search for the
cause of the noise. 1 was a fool to let
my distrust of her decrease for a mo
meut.
“That was a complete job, Miss How
ard, ’ ’ said the leader, * ‘ wel 1 doue by ev
erybody, aud your part is the best douo
of all. ”
“You have rescued me from the
bauds of a rebel, Captaiu Crowder, ” she
replied, “and 1 am back with my own
people, for both of which I thank you. ”
I thought it was time for mo to say
something.
“It is true you have trapped me be
tween you, Captaiu Crowder, for so 1
hear the lady call you,” I said, “Lift 1
wouldn’t exult, because the next chance
might be mine, aud it would hurt your
feelings for me to pay you back. ”
“I don’t know about any next chance
for yon,” he said, “because here in the
south we generally hang rebels.”
I did not reply to his threat, thinking
that I had said enough, and turned my
head away. My glance fell now upon
Old Put. His eyes were full of reproach
to mo. The I told you so expression was
there, and the I am sorry for you and
myself expression was mingled with it
“i will never lose faith in you again,
best of all comrades!” I signaled back
and saddlebags and produced bread and
meat, which t hey began to eat greedily.
They were nbsoibid like wild animals
in their repast and paid no attention to
anything else
The girl rose and walked over to mo
Reaching down, she seized the end of
my silk handkerchief, which was pro
jectiug from my pocket, and jerked it
forth She threw it into therfire and
watched it burn, the red heat gripping
the delicate silk and converting it in a
moment to ashes Then she turned upon
me a face of fiamo
“You dared to bind me,” she said—
•yon a rebel and 1 an English woman,
the daughter of a loyal English officer I
You dared to insult me so!”
“And I presume that is the reason
you burn the handkerchief with which
I hound you, ” I said.
“Yes. ”
“Now that you have begun the job
of burning I suppose you would like to
burn me, too, ns 1 am the man who tied
the handkerchief, and 1 did so because
you deserved it.”
Blit* was silent, hut her cheeks were
as red as ever
“I congratulate you upon your rescue,
your rescuers, your company,” I said.
“They ire loyal Pritisb soldiers.”
“They wear the British uniform.
Any ruffian anil robber may do that.”
”1 have seen Captain Crowder him
self in the army of Cornwallis. My fa
ther knows him, aud I do too. ”
“You know his face, and that is all
He may ho a good enough British sol
dier when he is with Cornwallis, but
elsewhere lie is anything that suits his
purpose Look at him and his comrades
uow ”
Everyman had produced a bottle aud
was driukiug deeply from it. The odor
rose and was too strong to be swept
away by thp \vind._
•Ami 1 It oYvtu ilie mulr to Miiwry—
Lor wit nnd hw ootrohs rail me—

His voice was no£ unmusical, nnd he
bad :omc idea of rhythm and measure.
i His comrades j ned him, and they
, roared out a chorus which mu ' have
penetrated to the farthest edge or the
| wood.
| “I'll not only sing for yon, Miss
Howard, ” said Crowder, “hut I'll dance
i for you too."
Jt was plain enough that the man
was drunk aud was relapsing into his
natural condition of savagery 1 hoped
that ho would fall into the lire, but he
did not. His drunken head swayed from
side to side, but he kept step to the
beat of the song.
One of the men drew his ehipty bot
tle aud beat upon i s side with his
knife blade. It made a lively tinkle
that sounded like music, and the others,
seeing his success, imitated him. Crow
der had not only a vocal but an instru
mental chorus as well His zeal in
creased, and ho danced like an Indian
at a scalp dance, while tho men roared
. out Hie song aud boat their bottles with
! enthusiasm.

“UNTIE MY WHISTS,” I SAID.
Captain Crowder, having seized me,
also seized my camp, evidently with the
intention of spending tho night there,
and ho posted one sentinel, while tho
others sat around the fire, making them
selves comfortable. The girl occupied
her old seat on tho tree trunk, leaning
against tho projecting bough. •
“Do you know wherd my father is,
Captain Crowder?” she asked.
“With Tarleton,” ho replied.
“Aud where is Tarleton?”
“Hot on the chase of tho rebel major
and his men. ”
“Can we overtake Tarleton by noon
tomorrow?"
“Undoubtedly, for be has to go rather
slowly, not knowing just where Morgan
is. He doesn’t want to run past the
game. Morgan’s hard toenteb, but when
Tarleton once cornea up with him
there’ll be an end to one rebel army. ”
I listened to this conversation with
the closest attention and contiuuc d to
listen while ho described Tarletou’s
movements, force and equipment. If 1
could escape him and tho hangman’s
rope with which ho had threatened me,
this information would bo of great
value to ua I was glad that, for the
sake of precaution, 1 had torn up tho
girl’s letters and other written facts
al>out us when I captured her, f or now
she could rely only upon speech. 1
waited for her to tell Crowder e bout n*,
but she said nothing upon that point,
and I reflected that her reticence was
natural, as she would want to give her
information herself to Tarleton, and
thus secure all the credit instead of let
ting the guerrilla, Crowder, elaim at
least half of it
Two of the men disappeared in tho
wood and returned in a few moments,
leadiug tho horses of tho baud, whieh
they tethered to tho trees near by. 1
guessed that they bad seen tho l ; ght of
our tiro at a distance and leaving their
horses there had crept ujKm mo.
“You will excuse us, Miss Howard,
while wo eat and drink a little, ” said
Crowder. “ Wo’vo ridden far today, aud
we’re tired and hungry. ”
Their appearance was sufficient indi
cation that they needed food and rest,
for tho grime of travel was thick upon
them. They rummaged their haversadfj
'‘"Look at them," I repeated. “I con
gratulate yon ou your company. ”
They drunk deeply and replaced their
bottles in their pockets, where I was
sure they were not destined to remain
long The red fled from tho girl’s face,
but she said nothing, and giving me tho
same curious look of mingled triumph
aud deiiuuco went back to her old place
on tho log There she sat, staring
straight into tho fire, as if she were
wholly oblivious of me aud the other
men around her.
The partisans were in great glee
They laughed and crac ked rough jokes,
and presently, as I had expected, pulled
out tho bottles again aud took a long,
deep draft, once, twice, thrice. Their
faces flushed from the effect of tho
strong spirits, and the loudness and
roughness of their talk increased.
Crowder, the leader, was tho loudest
and roughest of them all.
“That was a lino song yon sang to
that fellow thero when you set him
a-nappiug for us to catch, Miss How
ard, ” ho said presently, “aud wo like
music, ua), don’t we boys?”
“Yes, yes!” they roared, all together.
“And won’t you kindly siug that
song or another as good for us, Miss
Howard?” ho continued.
She made uo answer, staring straight
at tho red embers, her cheeks pale.
“I say, Miss Howard, don’t you
hear?” exclaimed Crowder roughly.
“Yes, I hear,” she replied, “but I’m
sorry I can’t oblige you. I can’t sing
any more. ”
“If you ran sing for that d d rebel
there,” continued Crowder, “I should
think you could sing for us, who are
good and loyal English like yourself. ”
She was silent again.
“Didn’t wo rescue you?” ho con
tinued. “Aren’t wo your saviors? Don't
you owe us gratitude?”
Still unanswered, ho swore an oath
and said to his comrades:
"Here’s gratitude for you, lads. Well,
if she won’t sing for us, we can sing for
her. How do yon like this, my lady?
It’s called ‘I’ll Owro tho Muir to Mag
gy,’ and it goes very well with tho song
that you sung. ”
' Then ho sang tho old song, which,
like Ujo girl’s, was Scotch:
“Again 1 congratulate you on your
company, your glorious band of res
cuers, Miss Howard,” I called out to
her.
I know she heard me, but she did
not reply. Her lips were set firmly, but
her cheeks were growing paler aud
paler, aud she seemed to be white to tho
hair. I tugged at my bouds, but I could
not move them.
Tho song stopped for a moment, and
Crowder, looking around for further
amusement, spied mo.
“A good song, boys, and good fun,”
he cried, ‘‘but hero’s better fun. Let’s
hang the prisoner and see him squirm.”
The others, as drunk as their leader,
shouted their approval, but the girl
sprang up.
“You shall not do that!” she cried.
“And why not, miss?” asked Crow
der. “Ho is our prisoner.”
“Because I will uot permit it I” she
cried
They roared with laughter.
“If yon do,” she said, “I will report
your act to Colonel Tarleton. This man
is an important prisoner. Tie can guide
Tarleton to Morgan, and ho will do it
to save his life. He must bo taken skfely
to tho British camp. Tarleton will re
ward you well. ”
“All right, if you say so, Miss How
ard,” ho said. “Anything to oblige,
especially one as handsome as you are.
And wo won’t hang him tonight. Maybe
wo will do it in the morning anyhow,
but that’s no reason why we should stop
the fun now. A soldier’s life is hard,
and he ought to make merry whilo be
can. ”
Ho took a largo flask from his haver
sack and shared it with his men. Then
they began to sing and dance again, all
of them wild with drink.
It was an orgy of savages. Tho fire
had died down and ceased to blazo;
only tho red embers glowed in the dark
ness. 1 could feel the blaekuess of the
night which rolled up and encircled us
more closely. Tho girl was as immova
ble ns a statue. Her tawny hair shone
in tbo dim light, and I could see that
her face was still white, but that was
all.
One of tho men fell down presently
from sheer exhaustion.
“Let him lie. ” said Crowder* .“IIs’U
sleep as well there as anywhere. ”
The man never moved, hut began to
snore, and a second o’ e yielded to exer
tion aud whisky and. stretching himself
out on the ground, went to instant
sleep Crowder himself was the third
and was followed speedily by the others,
including the sentinel, who had joined
without objection in the orgy The six
men were sound asleep in a slumber
heavy with weariness and liquor.
A last brand fell over in tho coals and
blazed up The girl rose from tho log,
and by its light I could see that her face
had turned from white to red. She
walked quickly over to mo aud said in
a voice shaking with excitement aud
alarm:
“Take mo away from here, Mr. Mar
cel I Take mo away at ouce! I would
rather ho with you than these men,
these savages, those brutes! Nor is your
life safe hero!”
"They wear the British uniform.
They must bo loyal British soldiers, ” I
could not keep from saying.
“1 do not know what they are,” she
replied, with alarmed insistence, “but
let’s go. Pray take me at once. ”
Sbo pulled at my shoulders as if she
would have mo rise and go ou tho In
stant.
“Untie my wrists,” I said.
Fho tugged at the cords, but could do
nothing. They were tied too tight.
“Take a knife from that drunken
fool’s belt,” 1 said, indicating one of
the men. “Don’t bo afraid. Ho won’t
wake. ’ ’
She took tho knife from tho man’s
belt and cut my bonds. I rubbed my
wrists together fur a few minutes to
take out the stiffness aud to restore the
circulation. Again she urged me to
start without delay.
"Wait a minute,” I said. “We must
provide ourselves. ”
They had taken my arms from me
when they bound me, and I recovered
them, adding to my supply Crowder’s
pistol and some ammunition. Then I
turned to the horses.
Old Put’s great dark eyes flamed
with approval aud gladness. He had
stood at his halter’s length, watching
the orgy aud my rescue with attention
and understanding.
“We’ll bid farewell to these beasts
now, old comrade, ” I said in a whisper,
patting his nose.
He was too cautions to whinny a re
ply. The brown hack was near him, but
I saw another among those belonging to
the guerrillas which I fancied much
more than he. I hastily changed Miss
Howard’s saddle to his back, assisted
her to mount and sprang upon Old Put.
I turned the heads of our horses to
ward the northwest, but as the woods
before us were dense aud interlaced
with wiry bushes and creeping vines
wo dared not attempt more than a walk.
The horses stamped and neighed us we
left them. The girl's mount stopped on
a large, dry branch, which broke with
a crack like a pistol .shot. Nor did ill
luck stop at that. The abandoned
horses, frightened by the report, neighed
and stamped again, creating a great up
roar.
Tho sentinel, who was the least
drunk'of the party, sprang to his feet
He was yet half dazed with sleep and
liquor, but ho saw tho dim figures of a
man and a woman riding away from the
little encampment, and ho knew that,
according to the plans of Captain Crow
der, it was not what should be. He fired
a hasty pistol shot in our direction, the
bullet clipping the dry twigs above our
heads, and then shouted to his comrades
to awake, giving emphasis to his cries
with many sturdy kicks.
“Look out for your head!” I shouted
to Miss Howard. “An untoward bough
might prove fatal. Aud be sure yon stay
with me. ”
‘TU not leave you,” she said
“Now, Old Put,” I said, “lead ns
out of this. ’’
He curved his long neck in the dark
ness ami looked ahead with sharp brown
eyes. I let tho reins fall loose, and he
wound about among tho trees with a
judgment that was never at fault The
other horse kept close at his side. Be
hind us wo could hear the cries of tho
awakened men as they leaped upon
their horses aud rode after us, shouting
to us to stop. Two or three more pistol
shots were fired, but tho air received
them.
If the men could see at all, it was but
dimly, though they could follow us by
tho hoof beats of our horses and .the
tearing of tho vines and slapping of the
bushes as we passed. They made such a
prodigiona cursing aud swearing that
wo were never in any doubt as to where
they were. I had a mind for a moment
to send toward them a pistol ball which
would stop their fuss, but I concluded
that tho more noise they made the bet
ter it would bo for us, as it gave ua ex
act warning of their approach. They
did not seem to bo gaining upon us,
which was a satisfaction for the present
Out on tho plain they would see us
more distinctly, but I believed that our
horses could leave them there.
I saw a beam of light shining through
tho latticework of tho boughs and then
another and another and knew that we
would soon be in the open. The girl’a
horse stumbled, and she ottered a little
cry of dismay, but in a moment the
horse was steady on his feet again, and
we went on. The beams grew more
numerous and fused into a broad shield
of moonlight. Two minntes more and
wo would be out of the wood aud into
the cleared ground, with the fields rac
ing behind ns.
Bnt tho light had its evil for ua
Against its broad silver disk we were
silhouetted like tho man in the moon,
and the popping of pistols told ns that
we had becomo good targets. One bul
let passed so close to my head that I
thought it must have cut a lock of hair
lu its passage, aud I took it as a warn
ing to hurry.
“Haste, Miss Howard!” I said. “We
want to bo beyond pistol shot in the
cleared ground, for the light will help
them there. ”
She was riding well, aud her expres
sion was firm and courageous. We
shook tho reins against tho necks of our
horses, and taking tho chances of bnsh
aud vino sped into the open as a volley
of pistol shots whistled after us.
I uttered a shout half of pleasure,
half of defiance, to onr pursuers and
bade Old Ihit show them what it wad
for a real horse to run his best. 1 uad
confidence, too, irt tho horse that the
girl rode, for he was long limbed. He
looked like a strong unfmal, and he cer
tainly had a clean, fast gait that kept
him alongside of Old Pot.
1 regarded onr escajK) as assured, and
the girl seemed to take a like view of
tho case. Relief showed in her eyes
“Miss Howard,” I said cheerfully
and egotistically, “1 congratulateon
on the Improvement In your company.'
"At auy rate, you are still a rebel,
with a rope around your neck. "
“1 seem to have been preferred to tho
British behind us, who do uot have
ropes around their necks, but deserve
them. Remember that I ride with you
at your uwu invitation. ”
“Then you consider mo still your
prisoner?"
“Oh, I am yours, bnt, \\ bother one or
the other. I am to be guide
The men behind us were silent, and
wo were Mte of gaining upon them. 1
could see fneir figures rising out of the
plain in tho misty gray light, gigantic
and distorted in shape, ami the thud,
thud of their horses’ hoofs, as regular
as tho ticking of a clock, came to our
ears.
“Which way do wo go?” asked the
girl.
“To Morgan, of course.”
“Then I shall soon be with my father
aud friends again. ”
"Why do you think so?”
“Because Tarleton will certainly take
Morgan, and of course 1 shall be re
taken. ”
She looked at me with much of the
old sparkle and defiance aud the abso
lute faith in British valor that British
defeats seemed unable to shake. I was
annoyed, aud my patriotic pride was
hurt.
“ You seem to take it for granted that
Tarleton will win if he should overtake
Morgan. ”
“Ido.”
“Yet you have heard the news from
King’s Mountain?”
“A chance, an accident.”
“The same chance, the same accident,
may happen again. ”
“Never.”
I could not say her nay, for were we
uot retreating steadily before the ad
vance of Tarleton, a retreat that seemed
to all to be the part of wisdom, for
again let it be said that we were fewer
in numbers, far iuferior in equipment,
and more than half of our little army
were raw troops, farmers! The exhila
ration of the flight and escape disap
peared for the time, and a heavy depres
sion took its place.
