But this low surwho had tried to kill

CHAPTER I.
Iil'Drrw'MAC RED*
66v u ANDS up!"
Why he shouted, the
words I don't know, for IA
another moment he gave
me one barrel, and before 1 could raise
a finger I heard a click, admonishing
me that I was about to get the other,
A thin film of smoke floating above the
fence to the right and two malignant
eyes peering at me from between the
rails betrayed his position. Like a flash
I whipped out my revolver, but before
I could raise it there was another re-
port, and my right arm dropped, be-
numbed by a charge of buckshot. Seiz-
ing my weapon with my left hand, I
brougbt it to a level with the eyes be-
hind the fence and fired. There was a
sound of a body falling, and I knew
that I had struck home.
Spurring my horse to the side o! the
road, I craned my neck over the fence,
and there in the ditch lay the bush-
whacker. His bat had fallen off and
left bare a head of red, shocky Bair.
In his belt was his revolver, beside him
a shotgun. His body, clad in "butter-
nut," lay on an incline, his feet in the
water, which flowed lazily past. The
sun, shining through budding branches,
lighted up his face, and I knew that I
bad seen him before. Indeed, a vivid
scene in which he had borne a part
came up out of the past to fling over
me a cloud of gloom like the wing of an
Apollyon.
I drew an involuntary sigh. It was
not that I bad taken a life (lives were
cheap enough in those days, and he had
sought to take mine); it was not my
narrow escape from death, but an over-
powering consciousness that the spirit
of war lurked everywhere; that the
beautiful face of Nature about me --
trees, fences, bushes, everything—best
served to cover assassins.
The old lady declared that I sl ould
not stir out of the House till the doctor
gave the word, the old gentleman bade
die welcome as long as I needed to stay,
the young lady who bad brought me
there said nothing, while the boy !ooh-
ed as if to lose a subsea so fruitful of

"I'll send a young associate of mine,"
said the doctor. "If the wound opens,
you must have attention at once."
"Thank you, doctor. There seems to
be a great deal of commotion about a
very small matter. I' don't care to put
so many people to .so much trouble."
No one paid any attention to my pro-
test, all busying themselves' to, make
the comfortable. Pillows were laid be-
neath my head, a silk quilt was thrown
over me, and a stand with a silver bell
on it was placed beside me that I might
ring for anything I wanted. All being
satisfactorily arranged, the doctor or.
dered everybody out of the room and
then departed himself.
What a singular transition!' Half an
beer before I . bad left 'Huntsville—
beautiful Iiuntsville, • nestling among
tbe hills that slope away from . the
Cumberland plateau --and was working
my way northward toward Fayette-
ville, Tenn. The plants in the yards•
beside the road were putting forth
their buds, the leaves on the trees were
opening, insects were awakening, birds
singing—nil revived by the rays of the
vernal sun.
I permitted my horse to. drop into •a
walk. A pleasant languor stole over
. tae, replacing..a bitter mental turbu-
lence which bad been ever present with
me for months. Perhaps it was the
genial warmth, the balmy air; perhaps
an absence of war scenes with which
I bad long been familiar; perhaps both:
At any rate, I watched the sun glisten
ou the dewdrops, felt its rays warm my
shoulders, and listened to the singing
"Is he dead?" of the birds with.a consciousness that,•

Then came an unaccountable sinking:
the fence, her arms resting on the top
rail, gazing at the disagreeable sight on
which I had been intent, stood a young
girl.
"Where did you come from?" I asked,
lifting my hat with my left hand.
"There." SheturnedLer- head and_
theother side
glanced at
onahouseof
the road.
"You must have stepped lightly. I
didn't hear you coming."
Without reply sbe continued gazing
at the body of the bushwhacker. I, too,
looked again at the upturned face, with
its glassy, staring eyes. 0
"Why did you kill him?"
"I will tell you."
But I did not tell her then, for as I
spoke I felt som,ethinc warm trickling
over the back oP my sand and, looking
down, saw blood- dripping upon her
dress.
"Come into the house, quick. That's
arterial blood." .
Seizing the reins, she led my horse, I
following, to a side gate. This she
opened, and we went up to the veran-
da. Catching sight of a colored boy,
she called to him:
"Mount quickly and ride for the.doc-
tor! Tell him a man has been shot,
an artery cut, and a life is in danger."
I had a dim image of the boy tearing
down the road, and, tottering into the

she was sprinkling my face. A white

of 12 with a toy gun was staring at me,
