Let us tse how things went oa at tbe camp. .Marian had noaooner left it than Steve Brayton still further strengthened t!ie defenses. The ground to tlif south v.'cs- fairly clear fur a charge, but in no other direction could u body o( men make a rosh. The cainp was on tho erect of a kuoll. and no put within rifle shot commanded it. ,-I flgger jest this way." said Stevo us he overhauled the am in tuition and saw that botii guns were ready for serv ice "that Ike Baxter waa sent down to the bouse last night to sorter spy around fur Captain Wyle. Untie Ben didn't smash him hard 'null, cud be on :rawled back to Ihu bouse, got his wife :o tlx him up and tin n skulked off, 1 ion't reckon ho nn had fur to go. It'a purty shore that some of our company wi!l show up doorln the day. and yu' Jcin bet yo'r last inewl that them guer rillas hain't given up the cha.-o! Befo' in n snnthins bound to bust'." "And what would yon advise':" asked Kenton, seeing that .Stuvo was in doubt about something, "Seems to nio tho situation is about U fillers." replied BteVO, "We ar' both Confederates, We've fit in several battles. We've bin captured and got away. We've put in a heap " lime chawin up mighty pure rations and nuurchin up and down tho kentry to prove our patriotism, Do yo' toiler?" "Yes." 'That's one side. Now the other is that a sartin gal luved yo' I tb r'n she did Captain Wyle, and fur that reason he nn has bin trym to git shi t 0 yo' by fa'r means or foul.

"Yes. that's about the way of it, hut what about you? You have been my friend and comrade from the star;. You have periled your life to save mine. I owe you a debt of gratitude, and I don't want yoa to sacrifice yourself lor my sake. They have nothing against yen which will not bo overlooked. Tiny want to get me out of tho way, and there Is every banco that they will ac complish tlcii object. I would be Self, ish to pull you down with 1110 aiter what you have done." "And what?" queried Steve. "(Jive me OM Of the guns, prop nie np over there, and then go! I'll die right hero after making tho beat liht 1 nasi" "Yank." si 1 St. von.; lie moved over and held out bis band, "yo1 di n't begin to know Steve Brayton si yo' think he's any sich critter!

If them guerrillas ar' too many fur us, we'll both die right yeie!" Kcnt'.m protest' d and argned, but Steve was determined. Hu took n tin pail which hud contained food and filled it with water at a spring not far away. Then ho carefully moved Kenton over to tho south side of the camp, propped him up at a loophole in a sitting posi tion ond sat down beside him to wait. " "I've figgered this out a bit," ho said as he peered through his loophole (Vir big ii of danger. "If them chaps bad found yo' at tho house, yo'd hev bin carried off to camp. Bein SS they'll find yo' yore, and l.i in as tbar'll he a font, thar won't be no carryin away if they git tho belter of tin!" "You mean they'll kill me hero and bavo done with it?" replied Kenton. "Exactly, and mo too! Then thar Won 'the any charges, witnesses or trial. They'll report that we fit to the last, end it will bo all plain sailin fur them ns wants US outer tbe way. Tbar'fore, in ehootin we'd better jest shoot to kill mid git all the rovenge wo kin. Sleady, now! I think the critters hev smelt us out!'' Half a mile up the road from Host Havcu tho gnng had loft their horses and divided into two parties to search tho billion each side of tho highway. Steve had caught sight of two or threo Man moving toward tho camp through tho scrub. "I won't shoot to kill Dot this time!" ho whispered as ho thrust the barrel of the carbinn through tho opening. "I'll jest fling a bullot down thar to let 'em know that tho Confederate Yankee army has had bieakfast. pulled its boots on and is ready fur biznessl" His shot waa followed by a yell which announced to tho other party that the fugitives had been discovered, and 10 minutes later the camp waa surrounded. Among the vneuiy waa a man who had 5 8.EWI5 (faQUAR 1 COPYRlGnTCD IB94 BY AMERICAN MUSS ASSOCIATION!. seen Hoyal Kenton fall when fired upon, and it was therefore known that ho was wounded. How far ho was disabled, however, could only be guessed at. Stove Braytou was known to be with him, and Stevo was also known to be a fighter. It was therefore decided not to opcu fire until other means had been re sorted to and failed. Thirty minutes after tho first appearance of the enemy a flag of truce was shown among the scrub, and tho hearer cautiously ad vanced until within hailing distance. His advance was from the south side, and l.i tli men had him under their eyes, it was Ike Baxter, and he balled about pistol shot away and called out: "Hello, up thai ! I want to speak to yo' una 'bout u minit!" "Waal, tiro off yo'r breath!" replied Steve. "Wcuns has (tttn clean surrounded yo' nnS) and yo'd better give in!" "Yea?" "if yo' una will give in, nobody will bo hurt. If yo' una don't give in, we una ar' bound to wipe yo' out! Wo una is a hundred strong, with two cannons!" "That yo', Ike Baxter?" called Steve, as if doiibtiug tiie other's identity. "Yea." "Waal. I've got my gun pinted fur a shot right betwixt yo'r doggouu eyes, and if yo' hain't back thar among yo'r gang befo' I count 10 I'll pull trigger! If yo' want us, cum and git us!" Five minutes biter lire was opened on tho fort from all around the circle, and the enemy were shouting and cheering as if a victory bad already been nearly won. While' most of their bullets flew clear over the piled up locks, thoso which were 1 etter aimed did no damage whatever, Not a shot was Hred In re ply.

SECOND FOR Jm0 contains four incomparable paintings by the world-famous Medairy, which surpass all of his previous efforts for faithful ness to nature and unparalleled beauty. They comprise every phase of Nature's changes, as de lineated in the four seasons, and will prove a revelation to most persons, of her peculiar moods. Lowell has "'ell said: "Our seasons have no fixed returns; Without our will they come and go; At noon our sudden summer burns, Ere sunset all is snow.'' The Ottman Lithographing Company in reproducing these paintings from the originals, has achieved a marked success, and produced lour pictures that will easily hold first place in either home or studio, not only fur their artistic merit, but as line examples of the 1 -i SPRING This delightful picture is one of Medairy'a four water colors, "The Seasons," which are all lound in portfolio No. 2 of this Series. "Spring" is a bright-colored work of singular merit. The drooping apple trees, burdened with their pink and white bloom, contrast effectively with the rich green back ground of trees and the llag-fringcd pool in front. The light and shades are superlative, and the whole effect is wondrously pleasing as a picture, or when critically considered as a study. REMEMBER, ONE C0U PON WITH ONE DIME SECURES 4 PICTURES.
