IN THE DEBATABLE LAND.

COPYRIGHT CHAPTER VII. UNDER THE TREES. It was wholly accidental, the meeting between Lieutenant Oakman and Miss Eldridge. He was sauntering thoughtfully homeward after recovering his revolver, happy at his good fortune and wondering over the future, when, in pasaing through the spacious, shaded grounds, he raised his eyes and saw the young lady seated on one of the rustic benches scarcely 20 paces away. She was looking toward him and, as she caught his glance, nodded and almost unconsciously made room for him. A singular thrill stirred the officer as he raised his cap, and, slightly quickening his pace, placed himself at the side of the young lady. A touch of summer's softness lingered in the air, but the shapely shoulders were infolded in a light shawl and the head covered by a hat trimmed by her own hands with a taste that would have won a compliment in Paris itself. She even carried a parasol, which was folded, while she used the sharp point to dig the ground at her feet, sometimes by way of emphasis and again with no purpose at all. After a few words the young woman said: * , “It seems inhospitable, lieutenant, after your brief stay with us for me to urge you to leave, but I am compelled to do so. ” “When I have received so much kindness from your family, there can be no such thing as inhospitality on your part ’ “My words sound very like it How else can they be construed?’' She had begun gouging the soft ground near the point of one of her tiny shoes with the tip of her parasol and looked upward and sideways at him with a faint sinile “The motive must be the interpreter. Your words are prompted by the same feeling that led yon and your mother to extend hospitality when it was sorely needed. ” The gentle face became thoughtfnl, and after a moment’s silence she said in a lower tone “You speak the truth, for you are in danger.” “Such has been my situation from the first' “But the danger has become imminent Despite the care we have used it has become known that we are sheltering a Union officer nnder our roof. ” “And thereby have placed General Eldridge in a false position. ” “It is not that. He is too chivalrous to object. In truth he would have been displeased had we failed in our duty, but there are others who do not think as he does. - “Not Masters and Ackers ?’ “Their treatment of you does not warrant your distrust. ”

The officer’s face flushed and he made haste to apologize. “It does not. but they might be obeying the orders of others. I understand that since the Union army has passed through this section there are many Confederate cavalrymen hovering on the outskirts at the rear of the force. picking oft stragglers. Some of them are in this neighborhood. ” “They are and mean to pay you a yisit. ’’ “But I am already a prisoner.” “And yet confined in no prison. ’ The words meant a good deal. Lieutenant Oakman felt that the most chivalrous enemy would have been justified in objecting to the privileges he enjoyed. v “Miss Eldridge, could I have carried out my wish I should have left this lovely home several days ago. ” She had resumed her gouging of the earth at her feet, and for a minute seemed absorbed in the progress she was making. Then again she turned her face sideways and asked with a bright smile “Why?” The officer would have been spitted before telling all that was in his mind. “I am entirely recovered from my wound and could have gone before tbia Instead I am in the unworthy position of an ablebodied soldier lingering in the rear when his country needs the service of every one of its sona ” She did not respond until she completed digging a ragged orifice a little farther in front of the hem of her dress Then, still surveying the tiny pit. she said; “Not your country, but your section. ” “No, allow me —mine —your country, for such it is and shall be to the end of tima ” How manyeouthern girls would have permitted these words to pass unrebuked? To the majority, it would have proved the spark to the powder magazine. Suppose he had uttered them to Miss Harriman? But no—the supposition was incredible. He was frightened by his own temerity and looked qnestioningly at her. The gouging of the pointed wood had excavated a symmetrical orifice in the dirt. Several grains were flung over the toe of the Cinderellalike shoe. She flirted them off and oontinned digging, as if prompted by a definite purpose Her face was grave but she remained silent. “Have my words given offense?’

BY EDWARD S. ELLIS.

«v THf'AUTH^ tasked the lieutenant with a pang of self 1 reproach, while studying the perfect profile before him. “No. I could not respect you were your sentiments different. “ What a superb creature she was —a true daughter of the south and with the chivalry of Saladin or, what was the same, of General Arthur Eldridge himself! Ho wanted to say a thousand things, but dared not trust himself to utter one of them. His voice, his looks, his manner would betray the truth, and that would he worse than a hundred deaths She was still leaning slightly forward, plying her diminutive spade, but she now stopped, sat upright and looked toward him. “Lieutenant, let us not touch on that theme. It lies too close to the bleeding hearts of the south. I am glad you have recovered from your wound and what I say to you was suggested by my mother, not by myself. All well and proper enough, but Lieutenant Oakinan wished she had not told him. He bowed, and she continued . “I am a soldier’s daughter and know the risk you incur in attempting to thread yonr way through our lines. It is impossible on foot, and you have no horse. ’ 1

He again inclined his head. “Then why not disguise yourself?’ “That seems hardly feasible, and yon forget that I am on parole. ” “But when your life is in peril you are justified in escaping. Leave to me

It was op the tongue of Lieutenant Oakman to ask who the mischief Captain Trenholm was that his personality should be intruded into their conversation. The information was like the grip of icy fingers on his throat, but for very shame he mastered himself “I fear the Confederate uniform will not give me much protection, for I shall have too many difficult questions to answer. I am unfamiliar with the country and do not know which way to turn to seek my friends, while the whole journey would have to be made on foot. ’ “It would not. ’ “Begging pardon, I cannot see the possibility of its being otherwise. ” “I will furnish you with a horse as fleet as your own Kentucky mare, that I heard you say could outspeed the wind.” “Yous exclaimed the amazed officer. “Impossible I” She smiled at his bewilderment and added “Do you doubt me?' “I can donbt nothing you say. but—but”— “You doubt me all the same’ CHAPTER VIII A NOTE OF WARNING “No. but I wonder. ” “What my warrant is for my pledge ? Know then, my enemy, that we have hidden a few things beyond the reach of the marauders. My favorite pony has been concealed for months in the woods, where he ban be found only by Pete, our faithful slave. I will have him brought to the house tonight and placed at your service: but remember.” she hastened to add. reading the protest on his lips. “I expect yon to return him to me if it be possible when he shall have served your purpose Do as you choose about donning the uniform of Captain Trenholm." “I accept your offer, and words fail me to express my gratitude. ” “Then oblige me by not hunting for the words. Yon will need a guide, and there is the real trouble,” she said thoughtfully, “for there is no extra horse for him. Suppose I let Raetns conduct yon for a few miles, after which yon must rely upon your own discretion and the assistance of heaven. ” “Yon are the general and I the private ; therefore it is mine to obey. May I ask when I am to march?” “The sky is clear and the moon at its full Ido not know whether that is an advantage or not Yon will start while the,night is young unless”—

She hesitated and resumed nagging the earth with her parasol. “Unless what?'' he asked gently. “It becomes necessary for you to go earlier. It is growing late. Let us enter the house ” He sighed, for there was i mnch he wished to say, but could it interest her? He rose to his feet and walked by her side across the lawn to the porch in front of the mansion. Both were silent He was on the point of making a commonplace remark when she started with the exclamation “Why. what a surprise!' A tall, bearded man in the faded uniform of a Confederate captain came hastily down the steps and. hat in hand, strode across the lawn. Catching the miss in his arms, he warmly embraced and kissed her. The faces of both glowed with delight, and for a brief minute they remained oblivions of the presence of the wondering, chagrined and —shall it bo said —mentally tortured Union officer. Then, recalling her forgetfulness, she presented Captain Wager Trenholm to Lieutenant Ledyard Oakinan of the Union army. The Confederate officer extended his hand. “Happy to meet yon, lieutenant! 1 learned a few days ago of your misfortune and also of yonr good fortune in being quartered at tho home of General Eldridge. ’ “There can be no question of my good fortune. A son and brother con Id not have been treated with more kindness than I.' “Which is nil a matter of course, wherever this family is concerned. Nevertheless. I have come to inform you that you are no longer a prisoner. ’ “How is that, captain?’ The big. handsome soldier laughed heartily

“I have become so accustomed to being taken prisoner that it is growing slightly monotonous. I fell into the hands of a party of yonr folks the other day. Through Tim Masters and Jim Ackers, two of onr scouts, word came to your people that you were staying at the honse of General Eldridge. as a wounded and paroled prisoner. While it may not have been strictly en regie, the situation was so peculiar that an arrangement was made by which I, was paroled and set free nnder the pledge that I should make the agreement known to you, and that upon yonr arrival within the Union lines the exchange would be completed and we could both straightway set to work to cut each other’s throat —begging your pardon, Adele —with onr aforetime vigor and honesty. ’ That, then, was the simplified situation. The exchange, so far as Captain Trenholm was concerned, was completed. All that remained was for Lieutenant Oakman to get back to his own lines, which might prove easy or impossible. Usage required that he should be provided with an escort, but in the general turmoil and confusion that was difficult, if not wholly ont of the question.

But the captain in his breezy way suggested a solution “I will give you a letter, signed by myself, certifying that yon are a Union officer who has been regularly exchanged and is therefore entitled to safe conduct to your own lines. lam sure the presentation of that document to whomsoever stops you will be sufficient to clear the path. “You are entitled to an escort. ” added the Confederate, “and it is quite likely one will be furnished yon. I regret that, inasmuch as I have ridden the last ten miles alone, it is ont of my power to aid yon. but I am sure yon will find my letter all that is needed in the way of a passport. You will remain with ns a few weeks until fully recovered?’ “Many thanks, captain, but 1 am now fnlly recovered." Miss Eldridge. who was looking into his countenance, remained silent Strange that she did not unite in the request of her friend! it would have made no difference in the decision of the lieutenant, but he felt a pang of disappointment at this evidence of her indifference. But why should she feel otherwise? She was a native Georgian, with her heart bound up in the triumph of southern independence. The man at her side was her hero. Their tastes, hopes, aspirations, prayers, dreams and longings were the same. The other had been sheltered at her home; but, all thij same, he was an enemy

The captain wrote with many flourishes the letter.

It is the fashion for the story writer to make the wounded Union officer win the heart of the fiery southern girl. It was done many a time, bnt not always. “What warrant had I for any snch grotesque hope?” Lieutenant Oakman asked himself. Bnt for the coming of his rival he wonld never have confessed even to himself that he had ever held

such a hope. “She and her mother felt a pity for me. That’s all. This fellow is an infernal sight better looking than I. He’s a Confederate. He gained her love long ago, and —bah!” he added in the acme of self disgust. “What a monumental ass I am making of myself !” And he ground the bud to a pulp under his heel. After the happy meal was finished the captain, overflowing with high spirits, moved to a stand at the side of the room and wrote with many flourishes the letter whose nature has already been made known. Folding it up, he addressed it in his large round hand, “To whom it may concern—greeting.” “There, ” he added in his genial fashion, “I am sure that will prove a coat of armor even if not quite in accordance with the usages of war.” “Many thanks. It cannot fail ine, ” replied the lieutenant, accepting the document, which he placed securely in an inside pocket of his coat, after which he resumed his scat, and the conversation went on. Mrs. Eldridge and her daughter beamed with pleasure, while the captain was entertaining in the highest degree. Oakinan joined in the jest and smiles, but it was all forced, for he plainly saw the captain reach out and take the willing hand of the young lady and fondle it. And it was not once but many times that this audacious thing occurred right under his own eyes. More shocking than all, the mother observed the shameful proceeding and gave no evidence of being offended by its manifest impropriety. Captain Trenholm would not listen to the proposition that their guest should take the horse of Miss Eldridge. Indeed there was no necessity for it, since he had a fine animal of his own, which was placed at the lieutenant’s disposal, and since so much faith was reposed in the captain’s letter of introduction, as it may betermed, it was agreed that Lieutenant Oakman should take his departure on the morrow at daylight. ~ j>_ Late that evening, when he bade his friends good night and ascended to his room, he had hardly locked his door behind him when he caught sight of a folded piece of paper lying on the stand, with his name penciled on the outside. He opened and read: You must leave this house tonight. It you wait until tomorrow’s sun, your fife will pay the penalty. Place no reliance on the captain’s promise. The plot is complete, and immediate flight alone will save you. You know what to do. To Be Continued.
