Hein Carleton, whom he finally helped
to esi:ape, giving flim money, and, iso
far ns he was able, directions where to
It go and whorl to ask for aid.. Tom's
iml,riw3mnmett had been of short dura-
tion, azul thus it was, with vigor un-
' ,impaired and s'pirito unbroken, that he
found himself free on that very night
.when Will Mather hay sleeping in the
cave among the mountains of Tennes-
see. Bat that "Refuge of Safety" 'was
many, many miles away, and Tom's
`conte to the laud of freedom was a long-
er •tila flier more dangerous one than
Will's had been Still Tom had in his
favor health and strength, together
with a knack of passing himself off as
t
Southerner whenever an opportuiiety
was presented, nod so for a week or
more be proceeded with comlrarativoly
little trouble; but at the end of that
time dangers and difficulties beset lthln
-• at every estop, while more then once
dearth or recnpturo eitared hint in the
,face, either from the close proximity of
his pur hers, or the pertinacity of the
; 'load-honuds which were set upoat his
I•track. Escape at times seemed im-
I poosible, ' and Tom's courage and
•strength wen beginning to give way,
whou one night,townrd the last of June,
lie found himself iii a negro cabin, and
un aceupant of a bed whose eovering,
though impregnated with the peculiar
od,:r of the sable -hued faces around
'; him, seemed the very embodimeut of
;sweetness and' cleanliness to the tired
Pend footsore man, who nearly all his
life had slept in the finest linen, with
ilacce or silken hangings about his bed.
For linen now -there was a ragged quilt,
and the bed was festooned with ebb-
webs, while from the blr,eketiel rttft-
'ers hung bundles of herbs and strings
of 1e11 rs, alternated nntc
l he e and there
with the grimy articles of clothing
which old Hetty had washed that day
' Tor her own "boy-:," and in consequence
.of the rain had Ilnng in her eabin to
dry. Conrsc. heavy shirts they were,
Tom, 1 out, a: he watched them drying on
the pole, fell to coveting the uncouth
'things, and thought how soft and Mice
:they would feel et his rough flesh.
Then he thought on`holne and hose, and
wondered what she would say rntild she
look in upon him in that negro lust,
:with all those stalwart boys sitting by,
n.l:ole Betty, their mother, cooked the
torn -rake, and, fried the slice et bacon

'could see them, while the third was.

'beds, decent bread, well -rooked pleat,
with plenty of Lure air and water, he
]end received from the hands of his
enemies; and once, when for a few
.days he was sick, he had been fed with
• toast and jelly, and tea quite as good
as• Betty would Hoche, he said. And
while'hc talked more than one present
thought of the Southern prisons, where

:patois ole Vere stood leaning upon the

((11118, and her lips slightly parted ns she
• 11Stelied to the crntverrntion, and then
darted an anxious glance toward the

pc'erecl, end under cover 91 the 'datrk-
11(':333 wvas running incl rolling and slip-
ping (103111 the steep wet lath, which
led to her cabin door. -
Arrivcd the,', •she seized the sleeping
Tom by tite arm, and exclaimed:
"Wake lip, 11a114'r, for de dear Lord's
make; De Seshioters is come, and will
he here in at minute!. I'ni mighty '*raid
even Miss Maude c'an't save yowl"
Tom was awake in a moment and
f't,11y alive to the danger of his condi-
tion• bion the hoose on the knoll, he
could hear the excited voices of 1i!s pnr-
suori', and the sound made every pulse
throb with fear.
"Tell me what to do," he said, and
Hetty replied:
"Kin you bar smo.tlteriu' for a smell?
If you kin, git under de ole straw tick,
and lie right still hind flat, and 3•ou.
Han, buckle into mnrs'r'u place, as if
'twos you who've been: ]yin' here all de
tithe.'
Tani did not hesitate a moment, and
had .just straightened himself under the
strawy bed, and clrawvn a long breath tis
he felt Harry's body settling down
above hint, when steps were heard com-
ing down the path, and a young man's
voice asked of I3etty if she bad any
strangers there—"any Yankees, you
know; because if yo' heave—" the young
malt paused a moment and peered out
into the night to make sure that noone
Was. listening, Ghon, in a whisper, he
added, "Keep then :Safe, and remember,.
Fieotfoot• knows all the presses of the
mountains between here and 'Tennes-
see."
A supe esoed "'Thank God!" might
almost have been heard beneath the
.thaw bed, While o1(1 Hett3r exclaimed:
"The Lord bless \iaia'r Arthur and
Miss Maude, too. I know it is hex
dein':."
And Hetty was right, for Tom Car-
leton owed his escape from that great
peril to 1Lande de 'Vere lather than to
Lieut. Arthur. When the coder was
given to search the negro quarters, Ar-
thur had seen that in • Maude's face
which eonstietined him to follow, her
when site beckoaed to Hint to corse out,
upon the piazza.
"Arthur," she said, putting her -lips
to his ear, "remember the kind treat-
ment you received from your ennlies,
and be mere/tub D•on't let them find
ltitn, for there is atiYankee soldier down
in lIett3's eabin. • She told mc' to -night..
Search her house yourself. Throw theme
off the track. Anything to mislead
them. Be merciful. Do it, Arthur, for
my sake."
Always bountiful, Mande de 'Vere was
dr,zeling so now, es she tstocd-before
the young officer pleading far Tom Car-
leton. 81111 Arthur 'Tunbridge was more
irfincnced by her beauty than by any
party feelings. Assuming a fierce, de- .
termines] mintier, he went back to the
pursuers and mid:
"It's perfectly preposterous the one
of those Unionists should come here for
protection, when it is well known whist
we are. Still it limy be. There's no
piece of effrontery they are not capable
of. I knows them well, just 115 I know
every nook and corner of the negro ca-
bins. Stay here, gentlemen, and take
roue refreshment while I search the
quarters myself." •
Arthur 'Tunbridge wore -a lieutenant's
uniform. 4o He had been in the army
front the very ;first; he had fought in
n't'ny a battle; had been a prisoner for
four months, while his father was
known to be a Stowell Secessiortlst who
was ready to sacrifice all he had for the
success of the canes he believed to be
so just neva righteous. There could be
no cheating in emelt a family as this;
and so, while Abode de Vero wore her

This was. Hetty's account of tate
• Young lady, who at that very moment
wile listening with a defiant look upoe
iter face to Arthur Tunbridge's rem it-
51r1111ee8 against what he termed her
treasonable principles. -
"They will get you into trouble yet.

Arthur spoke very gently naw, while
a Beep flush mounted to It's beardless
cheek, but ,net with no refle,tfon front
131111ule de Vere's face. Only her eyes
kindled and grey blather, if possible,
as she listened to him, first with scorn,
when be spoke of treason, ltutd then
with pity when he spoke of himself,
mid the paint it would cause hint if
harm should conte to her,
eMatlde knew very well the natture of
the feelings with which her kinsman,
young Arthur Tunbridge, .regarded her.
At first she had been dispcaed to Inngh
at him, and his preference for an Atm -
7::,n, as she .styled herself; but AAatuhr
hart proved by nctunl measurement that
in point of height he excelled her by
half an ineh, while the register rrhowvecl
that in point of age Ito had the advan-
tage de her by more than four yeiwwl,
tlu'ugh ivinude seemed ,the older oa the
two•
"Don't be foolish, Arthur, nor enter-
tain fears for me," she said. "I ant not
afraid of General Lee's entire. army,
neer (ai•aitt's either, for that matter. Aly
horse at Uncle Paul's has been beset
olterna,tely by either party, and I have
held a. loaded pistol at the heath] • of
befit .Federal and Confederate, when
one was for leading away Charlie's fa-
vorite horse, and the other for
coaxing
off eld Lois to coat the company's 1141•
tions. No, I am not afraid, and, if no
0(v-sary, I will guide that poor wretch
down in Hetty's cabin safely to Tonnes -
see."
Arthur's face grew dark at once, and
he said, luilf angrily:
"Maude, let that main alone; let then
all *tions. It is not womanly foe you
to evince so melt interest in such peo-
plc. For your sake, I'll help this one
to get away, but that must be the lust;
and remember, it is done for your canoe,
with the expectation of reward. Do you
oonstnt to the terms?" •
\laude's nostrils quivered as she drew
her tall figure to its full height, and an-
swered back:
-"1 could not prize the love I had to
buy. No, Arthur; I have told you once
that 'you it e only my brother,' just as.
Nettie Was my sister. Believe' me, Ar-
thur, I comet give you what you ask."
Site spoke gently, kindly, neer, for she
pitied the young man, whose sincerity
she did not doubt, blit whose love she
email not return. He was not her
equal either physically or mentally,
and the hour who won Maude de Vere
must be one to whom she could look
up to as. a superior. S •tell a. one she
would make very hnppy, but she would
lead Arthur a wretched, miserable life,
and she knew it, and would save hint
from "herself, even though there were
,many kindly tender feelings in her
heart for the young lieluteutant.
She slaw that he Nevis angry with her,

And there until daylight the noble girl
sat watching 'lest her unwelcome visi-
tors ref the previous. night, failing to find
their victim, should return and insist
upon another search. As 13],118. de
Vere said, she had held a loaded pistol
at the (lead of both Federal and Cron -
federate, when her uncle was sick, and
the house was beset one Week by one of
the belligerent parties and the following
week by the other. Site was afraid of

Tom Carleton, and asked pea -mission
to hay° him moved up •to the house.
Nothing daunted, 1312111410 went close nP
to him, and her beautiful. eyes looked
straight into his as elle said:

Maude had gained her point, and with
Mrs. -Tunbridge, who had a soft, kind
heart, she hastened to make ready a
large, airy chamber, somewhat remote
from the rooms occupied by the family
sell their frequent guests. It was not
the best room in the house, but he
would be safer there than elsewhere,
and Maude made it as inviting as possi-

corder: to the centtee of the room, cover-,
ing the plain stand with at clean white
