I looked anxiously at Helen. My bearing was not especially acute. If Helen had heard, 1 might have thougbt there was something to hear. She listened a long while, but no sound ) came to ber. "It's gone," said Buck. "So it is," said Jack. "I heard it; I know I did." I turned away. It was plain to me that they had been tortured by another 1 hallucination. Neitl�r Buck nor Jack beard anything more, and the incident was soon forgotten, at least by Helen and by me, who bad heard noticing, We all relapsed Into that dreadful wait- ' :ug—waiting for the time when the i tear of death would be overcome by lite pangs of starvation. Helen sud- dcnly looked at me, that dangerous 1 light which 1 had seen before in her eyes. I "Your enemy?" she asked. "What enemy?" "The one you came to Alabama to kill." "I shall never kill him now." "Do you mean that you abandon your revenge?" She spoke contemptuously. "With death staring me, staring you and the others in the face—you who have wrecked yourselves In a vain at- tempt to save me—my private griefs sink to nothingness." "You must be revenged." She spoke as if it were she and not I who was to be the avenger. "I remember. You were to help me." "I will help you." "There is no need. ,We are doomed." "We shall live, and you will meet • him." "And then?" "You will kill him." "My poor girl, think no more of that. Let us fix our minds on gentler things; let us hope for some escape from this dreadful fate." She sat down on the bare rock, I be- side her. We both looked out upon the setting sun, tinting the inountalns with ominous blood stains, like those I had seen on the evening 1 reached the guer- rilla band. Jack was sitting holding her knees, rocking back and forth; Buck was lying on bis back with his eyes shut; Ginger had finished a pray- eaand utas cisiag.m thfs knees. Sud- denly the whole command started up as if touched by a current of vitality. There rang out on the still mountain air the clear tones of a bugle. • There was no hallucination about this sound. Each note cut the air with scimiterlike sharpness. To our ears, whetted as they were for some tidings of relief. it was like trumpet tones from heaven. It echoed and re-echoed through the mountains. each echo faint- er than the last, dying softly in the far distance. Shading my eyes with my hand, peering down toward the road, I saw through a small opening in the trees files of cavalry passing by fours. They were too far for me to distinguish whether they wore the blue or the gray, but it made.no difference, either o i r side would be welcome. Seizing g a ca ine, I pointed it at the sky and fired. The bugle and my.. illicit produced 'a magical effect on the guerrillas. With- out waiting to gather anything but Ginger gathered her limp body in ht& arms and carried her on. their arms, every man of them darted away into the woods. They knew well what would be their fate could we open communication with the cavalry. "Not a moment is to be lost," I cried to my command. "That bugle call was an Order to halt. We must catch the soldiers before they start again." Gathering the guns and putting halt a dozen cartridges that remained in my pocket, weall left the fdrt that had served us so well and started down the declivity. Without the inspiration of those bugle notes we could scarcely have crawled away. Now we not only walked, but walked rapidly. Onee past the fiankinrr rocks we turned to the cert, skirted the wase or the 13111 and Made straight for the road. I led, and so great was my anxiety to get the others forward that 1 was constantly getting abead of them. 1 saw that Buck was laSging, and I started back to help him when Helen stooped, took him up in her arms and threw him over her shoulder. He kicked so vigorously at this indignity that Helen put him down, and, his fury lending him strength, be at once took the lead be - Side we. We hurried on, now and again looking back to make sure that we were not followed, climbing over rock h s, through ravines,aroundproject- ing points, 1 directing the course tO- ward the spot where I had seen the Passing, troopers. We had traversed half the distance when there came an- other na her bugle call. Itwas the order "Forward!" I could not repress an exclamation of chagrin. 1 knew the guerrillas beard all we heard, and this last bugle order would probably arrest their flight and bring them back after us. "Come!" 1 cried. "We are still in peril." I dashed on for a short distance, then turned, and cast a glance behind me. Helen was marching firmly, Jack was staggering. As I looked she pitched forward and fell. Before'I could reach her Ginger had picked her up, and, gathering ber limp body in his arms, her head resting on his shoulder, car- ried her on. Theburden, soprecious to the faithful old slave, seemed to give him fresh cottage, and be pushed on, though with tottering steps. . "I'11 relieve you presently, Ginger," 1 said.. "Hold out as long as you can." We came to'a depression, in the cen- ter of which ran a mountain stream.. The descent and the ascent on the opposite side were both rocky and covered With • a thick growth of low 'timber And dit, ficult to pass. I glanced hastily to• the right and to the left; but, seeing no bet- ter passage, 'plunged down the decliv- ity. Buck was now sticking to me like' a leech, 'Helen .was just behind, while a hundred yards back Ginger stagger- ed along with Jack. 1 waited a. mo- ment for him to come up -and then led the way into the ravine, intending to ' take his burden from him when we. had ,passed the stream.

At Tracy City they.had heard of a Coufederate force Moving on their: flank to cut them off and retraced their steps. Buck and Jaqueline•had really heard them going ( southward early in the afternoon:: The. bugle calls we all heard so distinctly were sounded on their. way back. "Where did you leave your horses?" I asked .quickly of Helen as we hur- 1 ried on. ' "In...a clump of trees near the road. There. it is now." She -pointed to a • thicket. Great was my anxiety as 1 ran to the place designated to know if the horses. were still there. I was 'doomed. to dis- appointment; they were gone. • . There was no time for repining over the loss. I mast think out the problem of our immediate action, and that instantly. Two courses were open to us -we might' follow the eavalry northward, or we could strike out toward the south. Bach plan had its advantages: If we followed the cavalry, we might succeed, in coming up with them, in which event we should be safe, but -as they were mounted and we were not there was tilde hope of our overtaking them. Besides, the guerrillas would a*pect us, to follow that course. If we pushed South, we must abandon all hope of ' falling in with the troupers, but would doubtless mislead the guerrillas and gain considerable time.. We would also be moving toward the homes of the oth ere of the party. I 'istrnek out south- ward.

We pressed on without a word, till Jack, either tired of the.sltuatlon or ' be com- #ngse aibla of the absurdity of her action, promised that if 1 'would put her down she would go with us peace- ably. I set her on the ground in a Very disgruntled condition.

I knew that the stimulant would avall us but a little while, then would only make matters worse, Helen walked on, showing no effect whatever from the potation. Jack danced along as if she were at a picnic party, while Buck suddenly became brave as a lion. -"Don't yo' think, 111r. Brandystone," he said, with difficulty getting breath enough to articulate while walking so. fast, "we'd better stop an fight,'em?" "I think you'd better stop talking and save your breath for walking."

"We can do that -while we're walk lug." said Helen, "and not lose any, time," "'Spec' de priers on de knees is mo' efficacerous," replied Ginger, "but meb- be we don't need era like we did a spell ago," . Still therewas no sound In our rear. Helen asked if 1 did not think that keeping the road was pretty risky, .I. told her that. 1 would soon give the word to take to the woods. Coming to a point where there was a turn, lea, - ing a straight piece of road back of tis. • I told the rest to go on while.I waited and watched.

' Wehad scarcely got into the woods when we heard a clattering of hoofs on the road.` Whether they were made by the guer- rillas' hbrses or not l did not know,' but I felt sure they were. We waited till they were out : of hearing, then every-. one sank down on the ground. "Now, Ginger," I said, "it .is a good time to give thanks." Getting .on his knees;,Ginger poured: out the thanks of the party in words that came as. smoothly and plentifully as the waters of a running. stream. 1, o 'tthat . ersuasion whleb has for being f p , its ,motto,. "Trust •111 'God,' but' keep your powder dry," and, seeing that Gin- ger was disposed to prolong his thanks- giving indefinitely,' got up and started to find a convenient place to hide. I soon struck a little pocket formed by the coming together of several.decllvi- ties and surrounded by thickets. A lit- tle' • runnel - passed through it,- 'and, stooping down, I quenched a thirst that was burning me. Returning to the . party, I led them. to the retreat I had found for them, then left them to go in search of provisions. . ' It was now quite dark.I 'walked half a mile, when 1• saw the lights of Tracy City.

At «the inner extremity of the pocket we occupied was a low ledge of overhanging rock. It projected but a few feet and, was about the height o"f little Buck from °the ground. I hesitated for some time whether it would not be dangerous to light a fire and. thus guide our enemies to where we were, but at last conelud- ed to place the wood under the ledge and cover the front with boughs. Drill- ing three stakes into the ground, I placed the wood tinder them and light- ed It.
