1 paused, not to swear this time, but
for at momentary reflection on tiho vani
ty of 111111 and tho decoitf Alness of wom.
an inl taking advanltagu of it, 111( then 1
sprang upon the back of that old brown
hack-confouid him for :,n army mulo
without the ears'- --aw-t gavo chaso. I
had no switch or whip, bat I roweled
him and kicked hin inl tho siden until I
frightened him into at greater speed than
ho or any ono v1so believed to dwell
within his long framl1q, No gavo a wild
snort, and wo plunged after tio fleet
girl, rocking and swaying I ike at boat in
a stormy sea, but even with suci exer
tion lho could not compare with Old Put
Despito tho anxiety of tho moment, I
noted his inferiority wit) 01110 pride,
but thon I remembered how much do
ponded upon tho success of tho pursuit.
and I coiltillled to ri-go onl lily own
mount.
Strivo and strain as wo could and
rido and tiump ats I would with ill my
arims and legs, wo lost ground rapidly
Tho girl turned lher head onco to look
at l11e, and I thought I Saw i look of
triumph o1 her fa-e, btut I suipposo it
w%as miy imagination wvhichl was indus
triously tormenting nio just theni. I
groaned at tio certainty of her escapo,
and then hopo seized ino, for I remem-.
bored suddiely that 1, too, hail a trick
to Pl.. Old Put and I possemeda ('0111
muo11 languago inl which wo of lol talked,
with perfect understanding. I put two
fingors to my lips and blew between
them a long, shri'll whistle, which cut
the air and traveled liko the seream of
a fifo. It was i re(puest, at commadii(
oven, to him to stop and wait for mo
lo twisted his long neck in tho manner
of one listening, looking back at mio to
so what I meant, but ho went on,
though with slightly diminished speed,
his manner indienting that ho was un
certain what I had said.
The girl was belaboring himiii with
the switch, for sho mut.st havo noticed
his dccreasing gait. I whistled again,
and as Old Put's paco sank to a trot
she beat him fiercely with the switch.
A third whistle, and Old Put, now in
perfect accord with mec, stopped stock
still; not only that, but ho faced about
and neighed joyously The girl threw
the romains of her switch uipon the
ground and began to cry, not pitifully,
but angrily, fiercely I rodo up slowly
and held out my hand to Old Put, who
rubbed his nose against it. le knew
his master and best friend. Never had
I beaten him,' atid now thero wero
stripes and welts o1 his sido whero-sho
had pounded him with a swicch, or
Tather stick.
"Why did you not tell me what sort
of a horso he was,'' sho cricd, "and
thell I would not havo mado myself
look so ridiculous, sitting hero a1s if I
had been tied and waiting for you to
como1 lip?"
"Miss lowafd, " said I in some as
toniishmiient, '"do you expect 111 to show
you the way to escap)e?"
"'I (10 not expect atything from you1,
a rebel, " she said. "Do not speak to
mel again."
All right; that suitedl mo1. I did not
wish to talk to her'. She used words
only to inveigle 1m1 inte SOmIO ineau
tiouis mood. But it was necessary for 111
to tell her to dismount in order that I
might change staddles againi, as I did
not initend to givo her antother suhl op
portunity. I did net offer to assist her,
having had enough of that, but stood1
beside the brown hack, watching her
with a look that was now strictly mili
tary.
"'Why don't you1 help moe down?'' she
said angrily. "Have you no courtesy
for a lady?"
"You have declined such assistanlco
from a rebel before, " I salid in reply to
her utiexpected questioni.
"Anid I dieclinlo again. You needn't
offer it, " she salid abruptly, sp)ritging to
the ground, when I had no thought of
offering it.
As soon1 as she was off his back Old
Put shiowed the greatest dlistrust of hecr
and aversion, lHo shied as far away
from lien as my hold 0on his bridle' would
let him, and his big, dark eyes shone
with wvrathi. I- was glad that ho had
come back to his senses, and he, like 1,
should have knowvn her thoroughly from
the first atnd always.
"WoY don't intenid to be dleceivedl by
her again, (do we, old1 comhrado?" saidl I
to himii.
Hoe nodded his hleadl in emipha tio fash
Ion, and( his big eye winked initelligent
ly. Her eyes flashed a little, but she took
no ether notice.
''Look well at this lady, Put," I
said. "Do yoa note her?"
Hoe nodded.
"'Siho's English, we're Americans,
and therefore she's an eniemy and1( not to
be trusted. Watch 11er wehl," I con
tinued.
Hoe nodded v'iuiomily.
"Now, Miss IHoward, " I said severe
ly, "I've chanlIged those sadd(les, and
they are readly for' our use wlhn we
nleed thlemt, but mneanwill we'll W'alkr
againi, as we've tir'ed our horses out for
the seconid time, and( all your fault tee."
She saidl nothing, but walked oni inl
the way which I had itndicated, keeping
eight or ten feet from m1o. She had
ceased1 to cry andl had giveni hon features
a fixed and angry sot.
I was troubledl greatly. WVo had
wastedl so tmuch timoe over heCr fut,ile
efforts to eseape that the problem of a
night's shelter had grownt mtore difll
cult andl prbssittg, and( 1 itoede thlat
my1 attentioni shiould tnt be diverted
from It againi. Thorefore I would t-ako
preecautions. I dIrew fromi uy pocket a
long silk hlandkorchief, a trophy of ti-e
Monmnoutht camlpaignl, which 1 had1( pre
served with groat care.
"Hoild out your handits,"' I said.
"What would you (10?'' she asked,
turnling upon01 m11 a look of fire.
But I was firm. My expherienco haid
been tee great.
"Hoeld out your hands, " I repeated.
"I intend to bind them together. You
play too iiiany tricks."
You aro not a gentleman.
"You havo told mo that threo or four
times already. It won't bear further
repetition. "
"I will not submit to such a thing.
"Then I will havo to uso forco, -whichl
will mako it much moro unpleasant for
you. "
I hated to do what I had planned. It
was rudo and sovero, but then thoro aro
few who imvo had women prisoners
liko mine, and consequontly thero aire
few who arO in ia position to judge me.
I profer greatly to deal with the regular
forces, but in this caso I had 110 choico,
and so I strengthened my will and pro
ceeded.
"Ilold out your wrists, " I repeated.
' shall not hurt you. I merely wish to
keep you out of further mischief. "
"I iiha1l nover forgivo you, " sho said.
I could afford to laugh at such ia
"I trust that nobody will forgivo mo
until I ask for forgiveness, " I said.
She looked at me, her eyes full of ro
bellion. I thought shio was going to
raiso her hand to striko me, but -women
aro so changeablo and uncertain. In
stead she held out her hands meokly.
I bound her wrists together tad no-.
ticed that they vereO whito and well
mllolded The handkerchief was sol. and
could not pain her at all, and, besides,
her hands wero hound in front of her
and not behind her. Sho need feel no
incon vei iecle, but slo must realizo that
her opportunities for mischief wero di
minished vastly. Old Pat looked at her
with an air of triumph, as miuch as to
say, "Now, 1miss; you. aro being pun
ished, and punished deservedly, for beat
ing mo so much. " That seomed to bo
her own understanding of herself.
Wo resmiled our march, the horses
walking behind us. ''he rim of tho sunll
was now meeting the rim of tho earth,
and the western skcies were tinged with
ruidy fire. l I the (last the misty gray
of twilight was descending ou field and
forest, and tho chill of night was creep
ing over everything. Even in our South
Carolina latitudes tho nights are cold in
midwinter, and I shivered ami a twilight
wind, with a raw edgo to it, swept over
the plainl.
There was a heavy cloak hanging at
her sadd(1 horn, for she had not veil
tured upon her journey unprepared. I
took it off and threw it over her shoul
ders. It foll below her waist like a great
coat, and I buttonedt it. securely around
her leck.
"You are i l:cai hi",'' she said.
"I lomow it, " I roplicd, "hut I do not
intend to let you suffer Inloro Ohan is
neces.sary for your own good That is
the kind of barbarians wo are in this
Country."
The country vas Join0e and desolate.
-r we vere on the sterilo slopes of the
hills. It was thinly peopl'd at the best
of tilies, but 1Nw, raided incessallOy by
Tarleton's legion, which knew no mercy
to anything, whther animate or inaui
mate, and plundered, too, lyv wild banldI.
which claimed to belong to either army
as the occasion served, and perhaps be
longed to neitier, the people had fled to
securer regions, whero one side or the
other was master. Only those who have
seen it know tho suifferings of a country
harried by opposing armies and preda
tory bands. I had haped to find s01110
friendly farmer bolder than the rest with
whom my prisoner andot I could find
shelter, or if not that, at least some
aban(loned house which would givo us
a roof, bJut I saw ?10 sign of ai -hiuman
face excep)t our ownt, and( 110 roof appear
ed eithler inl the fields or among11 the
tree s. It was a solitude bleak anld cold.
and1( the dlecliing sun1, noew ha1lf way
behind tihe earth, warned m11 that it
w1ou1ld soon bo timo to stop, for the
dar'kness would be upon us, and in a
land of hills, gullies and no0 roads we
could not travel well without light.
Despairinlg of such shelter as I had
expected, I tulrnled our course toward a
thick grove of trees rising like a great
castle on the left. When woe enteredl it,
the shadows already13 made dlarkness
there, and the night wind moaned
amuong the dry branches of thoe trees. I
saw tho girl shiver, and( again I felt
piity for her in sp)ite oIf all that she tried
to do, though I lost no~no of my distrust
Almtost inl the center of the grove was
a simall open space, sheltered from tihe
rush of cold air by the greait trees which
groew so thlickly around it. It scomedCO to
113o to be the likeliest spot wvo dould find
for a camlp. I hitched tihe horses to
boughs of tile trees and took from my
pocket a small flask of that cheer wichl

the stopper aild handed it to the girl.
"Tako a littlo of this, " I said. " You
must if you (1o not expect to catch your
death of cold."
"I would if I could," she said, "but
I cannot whilo ily hands are tied."
"I had forgotten tho handkorchief,
I replied, "but I don't think we'll need
it any longer You havo been warned
sufliciently. "
I unbound her wrists and replaced the
handkerchief in my pocket.
"13ut don't forget, " I said, -'that this
liandikerchief is ani evidenco that I have
put miy mark upon you and that you be

11er faco flushed.
"I will not enduro such talk," she
said, "from a, rebel who within six
months may bo hanged by his outraged
king for treason. "
" You can't escapo it, " I said, "and
tho king can't hang no before ho
catches 11mo. It's a long way from Lon
don to squti Carolina, and I hear the
king is fat and lazy and suffors fron
seasickness. "
But she drank tho whisky, just a lit
tlo of it., though enough to put more
sparklo in her eye, and handed the flask
to io without a -,A%ird of thanks. Then
sho sat dcwn on a fallen treo and looked
idly in front of her as if sho had no in
terest whatever in anything
I gathered up armfuls of the dry
brushwood and tossed them into a heap,
to which I sot fire with the flint and
steel I always carried The firo blazed
up rapidly and snapped as it bit through
the wood. Its nerry crackling drowned
the deso!ato mean of the wind, and the
long red ribbons of flamo and the fast
forming bed of livo coals throw out a
kindly heat that fended off the chill of
the nighti Even the girl, angry and hiu
miliatedi as sho seemed to bo, felt tile
infiuienco of the light and w-armith and
edged1 along tile log until she was muchl
closer and the firo could shine directly
upon her faceo Old Put was frank in
his appreciation, coming to the full
length of his tother and wagging his
head in a mainier which said to me as
plain as day, " You have dono well."
Even tho stupid brown hack understood
and imitated Ofd Put's example.
Higher rose the fire and drove back
the shadows, but the darkness was now
rolling up to tho circlo of light, and
beyond tie sparklo of tho flames began
to rise liko a wall The sun was gone,
and a faint, fading pink tint in the
west marked the way his flight had
taken hini. Over P.11 the world tile twi
light drooped, and the winter wind
mourned the dead day
"Aro thero ghosts in the forest?" sud
denly asked the girl.
"None that Iever heard of, " I said.
"It is so unliko England."
"How'
"So much wilder.
I had heard,of their forests there, or
rather what they call forests---some acres
of trees. with the undergrowth cut
away and the lawns shaven, every rod
patrolled by keepers or workmen, a mere
plaything of a forest- -but here in
America are the real forests. just as
naturo mado them, the desolato wilder

howl, while the lono wind plays its
song o1 the branches or leaves of the
trees. This is the real forest, a placo in
which man becomes about as big as a

its inmmensity and desolation The girl
drew the edlges of her cloak a little
more tightly and miovedh as close to the
tire as tihe 01nd of the log would allowv
her
"It you wvill permit me,. I said, 'I
will give you a better seat by the fire

Rain on the Roof.
Whien the h1umiid shadows hover
Over all the starry spheres,
And the melancholy darkness
Gently weeps in rainy tears,
Whot a bliss to press the pillow
Of a cottage-chamber bed,
Aid to listen to the patter
Of the soft rain overhead
Every tinkle on the shingles
Has ani echo in the heart;
And a thousand dreamy fancies
Itito busy being start,
And a thousan recollections
Weave their air-threads into woof,
As I listen to tr-e patter
Of the rain upon the roof.
Now in memory comes my mother,
As sire used, in years agone,
T> regard the darling dreamers
lire she left them t 11 the dawn;
So I see her leanring o'er me,
As I list to this refrain
Which is played upon the shingles
Dy the patter of the rain.
Then my little seraph sister,
With the wings and waving hair,
And her star-eyi-d cherub brother
A serene, angelic pair
G.i le along my wakeful pillow,
WVithr their praise or mild reproof,
As I listen to tire mrmur
Of tire soft rainr onr the roof.
An I airotirer comies, to thrill tire
WVith her eyes' delicious blue;
And I nrind riot, iusing on her,
Tirat her heart was all untrue;
I remrenmber but to love her
With a passion kin to pain,
An'l my heart's qumck pulses vibrate
To tire patter of tire rain.
Ar' hath naught of tonre or cadence
That can work wih such a spell
nx thne soul's mnysterious fountains,
WVhenrce tire tears of rapture wvell,
Ar thrat-rmrelody of nature,
rhat subdued, subduing strain
Which is played upoin the shingles
By tihe patter of tihe raiin
