that there was something on bis mind
of great moment His companion lum-
bered along 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-
cated 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 ou his
chin. An uglier specimen of the poor
white of the south could scarcely be
imagined. and the moment I saw him,
knowing of bis enmity for me, I gave
myself n for lost.

glance before going, which said plainly,
"I'll fix you yet."
The captain continued sitting Where
he was, his bead 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 outand, 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 wiw face at her cora-
panlon. As the captain's back was'
turned it was safe for me to indulge in
a senile. Indeed, I fear 'I Could hardly,
have refrained had his face been to-
ward me. This little Jaqueline was
certainly unique. .

would .not scruple to use any means to
get me in their power. If 1 did not es-
cape from the Confederates, 1 should
hang; if I did escape, 1 should be mur-

Presently Jaqueline and the captain
came out from the supper room. Jaque-

aque=line.in advance, the captain's eyes fixed
ith the pretty figure before him. Jaques,

er, was hunting information for the de-
tested Yankees.
"Guard!" he called.
The two men approached.

I was'stunned. I knew well what
this order meant. I bad heard it even.
in ,(ease of outlaws -and -•- knew . that .it..
was the form in . which orders were
given to take men out and shoot them.
Many a guerrilla received his sentence
in those words:

you will commit a murder! Tbat man"
-po ating to the brute beside •him—"is
the r,'al 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
my words and from my stricken .ap-
pearance, realized the situation. She
stood paralyzed, but only for` a mo-
ment. 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. His first expression was
one of surprise; then all severity died
away. An amused look followed, min-
gled with 'admiration, and at last he
broke into a pleasant smile. •

about to rush me off to execution. His

and had he been induced to refrain by'

The captain smiled that pleasant, in-

"What a• deliciously odd creature!"
while Jaqueline disappeared as sud-
denly as anactress who had finished
her part. Ginger came in with a de-
canter and glasses, which he placed on
•the table. The captain sat down be-
fore the wine and invited me to join
him.
"Miss Rutland is ce'tainly a dainty

stopper trona the decanter and filled

"She certainly is."
"Most charming creature I ever

"What a soubrette she would make!

Oaf it would be impossible to get the

Jaqueline, and he talked ofber the rest •
of the evening—indeed, till' he had fin-
ished the decanter.. I could not but
be amused at the transition Jaqueline
had wrought in his treatment of me.
It occurred to me to test his good na-
ture still further. • • •
"Captain," I remarked. "I'm caught
away from. home with a thin pocket-
book. Could you let me have a hun-
dred dollars till 1 can get to where
there is a bank?"
"Certainly, sir, with pleasure. ..No
trouble at all." And, pulling outs thick

over to me.

bills, "'t don't need money. I ' only

poised on one side, her eyes sparkling
as though forgetful of everything save
the music.
"That's 'The Bonny Blue Flag!' "
she exclaimed, ,and she hummed the
words in a sweet though by no means
strong voice, ' As she went on she sang
rather than hummed, becoming more
and more animated, keeping time by
patting her' foot on the door. I glanced
at the captain. He was looking at her
admiringly, the charm enhanced at
hearing a war song dear to every Con-
federate soldier given with so much
spirit by such an attractive creature.
Suddenly the music stopped. '
"Don't you like music?" asked Jaque-
line of the captain. "I do; I love it."
"I like it when warbled by such at-
tractive lips," replied the officer.
Then the. banjoist without played a•
Spanish dance. Jaqueline's body be-
gan to vibrate; but, though alive in ev-
eey ° limb, she did not dance. There
was something tantalizing inprom-
ised a
treat that was not realized. • •
"Dance!" cried the captain, an ex-
pectant look in his handsome eyes.
"Shall I?"
"Do, please," I put in.
As a bird that has been soaring slow-
ly in its expected course, Jaqueline
passed from comparative rest to mo-
tion. In another moment she was mov-

"My dear madam," I interposed, "you

"Do yo' think so?" queried Jaqueline
triumphantly. "I'd love to dance on

"What's the harm, auntie? I'm not

"Yes, but you want to. be. To think

She passed up stairs, and Jaqueline
began again to rattle on in her singular

wanted Ginger's banjo, and, ceiling

after testing the strings, she began to
