HIe pointed into the east, in which direction the road ran, barely revealed by the faint light of the moon for per- haps a hundred yards. I looked eager- ly, and could dimly distinguish a vague shadow on the summit of a dis- tant rise of land. The shadow moved, however, and as we. both Stared in un- certainty, there came to our ears the far-off crank of a' whip. We drew farther back against the bank, paus- ing to make sure there was no decep- tion. Oneby one we could perceive those vague shadows topping the rise and disappearing. .I counted ten, con- vinced they were covered wagons, • between us. Just before dusk we over- took a -dozen horsemen in the breaks of a creek bottom, roughly dressed fellows, heavily armed, riding in the same direction a ourselves, and, aft- er the exchange of a word or two, the whole party of us jogged along togeth- er. 'Others straggled in, singly, or by small groups, as darkness closed about, until we formed quite a respect- able company It Was rather a silent, weird procession, scarcely a word be- ing spoken, and no sound heard, other than the dull reverberation of unshod hoofs on the soft turf. To me, glan- cing back from wbere I held position' beside Farrell, they seined like spec- tral figures, with no rattle of accoutre- ments, no glimmer of steel, no sem- blance of uniform, Xet ,my, heart warmed to the knowledge that these were no holiday warriors,", but grim fighting_ men. They had left their plows in the furrow to strike a blow for liberty. It was an hour or more after dark when our compact little body of horsemen rode clown a gully into a broad creek bottom, and then advanc- ed through a fringe of trees to the edge of the stream. There was a young moon in the sky yielding a spectral light, barely making those faces nearest me visible. At the sum- mit of the clay bank, shadowed by -the forest growth encircling them, were the others who had gathered at this war rendezvous, the majority die mounted, holding their horses in readi- ness for action. As we rodein among them neighbors clasped hands- silent- ly, but the words exchanged were few: Farrell forced his here through the, Press toward where a tall figure sat stiff in the saddle, and my own horse followed unguided: "A goodly turn -out, Duval," he com- mented briefly.

"Well, are they coming?" "Just over the crest," replied Duval brusciuely.

Only for a moment was there silence, the .men all about us lying low in their' coverts, breathless and intent. Then we heard horses' hod's and the mur- mur of approaching voices, We could see them quite clearly, as they topped the crest, the moonlight .revealing men and horses so distinct- ly I could even guess at their teniform. Those in advance rode slowly, four abreast, dews into the black steams, lolling in their saddles, voices min - musing, seemingly unconscious of any. danger. It was easy to t'omprehent' their state of mind. Delavan had been left alone for a week, permitted" lfo sweep the countryside unmolestea.' Re and his command had naturally grown careless, never suspecting their every move had been watched by keen -eyed scouts, ' Now, guarded by Grant's troop, they believed them- selves sufficiently, strong for any emergency; that no force the scat- tered enemy could gather would ven- ture upon attack. By daylight they would be within sight of the Phila- delphia outposts, and serenely confi- dent in their numbers, the night maroh had therefore become a mere outine, I heard Farrell chuckle grim- ly to himself as he observed the care- less approach of those advance 'rid- ers. They were the 'Queen's Rangers, the white facings of their coats con- apicuous, their guns swung at the shoulder in reckless' confidence. A slim young lieutenant appeared to be in command. Ten wagons passed without a move- ment or sound from the men lying concealed almost within arm's reach of the unconscious guards. Farrell never stirred, and I scarcely ventured to breathe. Then there came a squad- ron of Rangers, an officer riding alone in front, the black shadow of another section of the wagon train looming over the ridge behind then. The horsemen passed us, the officer; turn- ing in. his . `saddle with an order to close up their ranks. I recognized- "It le a Pleasure to Meet With You Again, Especially Under Such Hap- py Circumstances. Do You Surren- der?" In mid -stream. We `trailed dropping up the eastern' bank, coming cut upon a well -traveled road. A hundred feet beyond was the cleft through the clay, and there Farrell halted us, dividing the men into two parties. Under his. order's they : disappeared like magic, the silent night engulfing them com- pletely. The three of us, Duval, Far- rell, and myself, alone remained Id the deserted road, ' "Duval," said the blacksmith quiet- ly, "you an' the Major feel your way :along to the top, an' discover what is happening. I'll stay here, an' take !care of the boys." ; -- The road was a gradual rise, the clay packed hard under foot, but from for the summit we could loolt away u tr some distance over a level country, ,dimly- revealed under the new moon. 'There was nothing in' sight, and no ,sound disturbed the solitude, 'We sat down on a 'hunch of turf;, rifles in hand, to wait patiently; our eyes scan- ning the distance.

On the morrow Joshua began to search for the guilty one, and, proba- bly by lot, tbe guilt was found to be to tbe tribe of Judah.
