Then she made a motion to cock it when the muzzle was covering one of the men, and he protested. She burst into a merry, laugh. "What a brave man! Can't stand ' being pointed at by a girl! Ever in a battle? What's it like?" The soldier made no reply, but reach - .ed for his carbine and seemed very much relieved when she suffered him to take it. There was no more play, for • at that moment we heard the sound of horses' hoofs, and, looking out through the ball doorway, I saw two men riding up to the house. The one was Captain Beaumont, the other Tom Jaycox, the bitterest of all my Tennessee enemies and upon whom I had visited most summary punishment for the part he had taken in the massacre. In another minute they had dismounted and as- cended the steps of the gallery, then 'came rapidly through the hall. Cap- tain Beaumont's appearance denoted that there was something on his mind ,of great moment. His companion lum- bered alot.g beside him with the ap- pearance of one looking for something •or some one of peculiar interest to him. He was a short, thickset man in •corduroy trousers, a double breasted vest, open, no coat and a broad brim- med straw hat, the bue of which indi- eated that it had served for several summers. His nose had been broken, .and he had lost an eye. A coarse, stub- by, brown and gray beard grew on his • chin. An uglier specimen of the poor white of the south could scarcely be imagined, and the moment I saw him, knowing of his enmity for me, I gave myself up for lost. "'Fliers he is," said Captain Beau- mont. "1 . reckoned so," replied the other. ' "He's yo' man." "Who is he?" asked Miss Jack quick- .' ly. "A renegade from the south, an abo- lition hound, one o' our east Tennessee dogs. What he's doin hyar i dunno, but I reckon he's on some errant fo' the Yankee gineral at Murfreesboro." 1 Suddenly all the careless, indolent de- meanor of the captain deserted him. , With true southern Impulse, without stopping to investigate the charge, he was fired by the story that he fele in his hands one who, though a southern- er, was hunting information for the de- . tested Yankees. ; "Guard!" he called. The two men approached. "Take him away, and see that i`s doesn't get back here. I don't ever Svant to see him again." I was stunned. I kuew well what this order meant. I had heard it given in case of outlaws and knew that it ,was the form in which orders were given to take mea out and shoot them. Many a guerrilla received his sentence in those words. "Captain," I cried, "If you shoot me, you will commit a murder! That man" -pointing to the brute beside him -"is the' real murderer. I know him well. I saw him shooting down women and • children. I saw him"- I stopped short. There was an incredulous look on the captain's face. I knew that my accuser had his confidence. I realized ' that denials and counter accusations were expected from one in my position . and would have no weight. Jaqueline, though she could not have understood the captain's. order, from sny words and from my stricken ap- pearance, realized the situation. She -stood paralyzed, but only for a mo- -- ••••••••1, o - meat. While the guards were ad- vancing toward me she stole up to the captain and slipped her arm through bis, When he looked down at her, she was gazing up into his face with the perfection of coquetry. I watched the effect eagerly. Itis first expression was one of surprise; then all severity died away. An amused loot: followed, min- gled with admiration, and at last he broke into a pleasant smile.

HAVE seen men disarmed in vari- ous ways, by argument, fear, force, but never have I seen one so quickly vanquished as he who was about to rush me off to execution. His iutended act was most unwarranted, and had he been Induced to refrain by logical arguments I should not have been surprised. But Jaqueline knew nothing of logic or the merits of the ease. She used no plea; she conquered by a look. "What a queer man!" "Who -I?" The captain's smile broadened. "Queerest man I ever saw. What do yo' want to take him away fo'? Don't yo' know he's wounded, and we just got him fixed up?" "You don't mean it!" He spoke as deferentially as if the information were really a surprise to him. "Don't want ever to see him again? What a grumpy thing you must be! Suppose I'd say I wanted never to see you again?" ' "You'd break my heart." All this was not to the liking of the captain's companion. "Well, captain," he put in, "what yo' goin ter do?

Indeed, awhile I was so delighted that I forgot could hardly refrain from joining in all except the dance, and when I be- lt myself, notwithstanding my critical situation. "Yon certainly don't want to commit a gross blunder, captain," I remarked. "You can at least give me some sort of trial." "Reckon I can refer the matter to headquarters," he replied, fixing his eyes on Jaqueline. It was a delicate scale that balanced life and death in wartime and often requited only a feather's weight to turn It. It had been turned for the time and turned effectually. The guards were ordered back, and the captafrt sauntered away with my accuser, who expostulated as they passed out of the house on to the gallery. Pulling a cigar out of his pocket, Captain Beau- mont sat down in a rocking chair and began to smoke as tranquilly as if noth- ing had hal•pened, listening composedly to the ruffian who was trying to get him to shoot me. But Beaumont was now as difficult to move, as Imper- turbable, as he had been before irate, and Jaycox at last went away disap- pointed. He gave me a malignant glance before going, which said plainly, "I'll fix you yet." The captain continued sitting where he was, his head resting on the back of the rocker, looking dreamily up at the waving branches of a large tree set against the blue sky. Supper was ready, and Jaqueline, taking a rose, went out and, fixing it in a buttonhole of his coat, led him into the dining room. Before passing out of sight she turned and gave me a meaning glance, accompanied by a wry face at her com- p?tuion. As the captain's back was turned it was safe for me to indulge in a smile. Indeed, I fear I could hardly have refrained bad his face been to- ward me. This little Jaqueline was certainly unique. While they were at supper I was de- liberating upon the situation.

Without warning she put the banjo down and began to talk again, skipping from one subject to another, astonish- ing as by her confidences, sometimes asking questions, but seldom waiting for an answer. Presently I spoke of my stay with the Stanford's. "The Stanforths!" she cried. "Do you know 'ens?" "Yes. Do you?" "Ought to; they're my cousins. Did you see Minerva?" "No, Who's Minerva?" "Her real name is Helen. We called her Minerva at school. I went to school with her two year's. She's older than 1, though." "•I have met Miss Ilelen Stanforth." "If you refer to the young lady we met today," the captain remarked, "she's a very beautiful and high bred woman, much like our Geowgia bean- . tics" "She knows everything," said Jaque- line; "theology, geology. biology, psy- chology. Any more of 'em?" "That's quite enough," I admitted, "Did you see Buck?" "Oh,yes. Buck and I became quite friendly." "Friendly! Buck hanged." "What makes you think that?"

If he was black and I owned him, I'd have him whipped every day." A colored woman came in and told the captain that Miss Pinkley present- ed her compliments, and a room was ready for him whenever he chose to occupy it. She also informed him that I could have a room. "Captain," I said, "I have no reason to get. away from you. Indeed, I wouldn't leave your guardianship just now for a plantation. The man who has accused me is in league with others who are interested in getting me out of the way. Now, if you'll permit me to go to bed without a guard I'll give you my word of honor not to leave this house till after the watch has been resumed tomorrow." "Now, captain," put in Jaqueline be• fore the officer could reply, "let the poo' man go to bed." "Po' yo' sake?" be asked, looking at her with an expression half admiring, half comical.

If one is to believe the medical ex- aminers the reason a woman pays more for the privilege of lite insurance is that she is much more commonly a victim of indigestion and stomach troubles and the fatal ailment° that spring from these causes. It is not the acute attacks of disease that influence the insurance examiners alone, but the constant feelings of weak- ness, headache, indigestion and stomaoh trouble. These things, phyuician° say, kill more people than many of the seri- ous diseases.
