Wo learn from the Express that the
Delaware and Lackavnna Uailroad Cota
prny, have for some time been losing large
quantities of coal on the way to Newark
aud New York City. When the train
would arrive at its destination there would
be large quantities missing. The company
could not solve the mystery, so they pro
cured the services of Detective Ilaggerty
of Newark, who began to investigate the
affair and he soon solved the mystery. It
appeared that a gang residing at Clarks
ville, near Hampton Junction, were in
the habit of stealiug coal from the trains.
Ilaggerty succeded in arrosting four of
the gang, the latter oonfosscd that six
titn others had a hand in it.

CHAPTER XX.
HOPES AND F K A It S.
Austin's hands were pinioned behind
his back. The iusurgent Sag floated
before his eyes, and he fancied that, as
he kuelt there in suspense, the eyes and
thoughts of that immense army were con
centrated upon him "You are to die
there is no hope," still rang, half fem
cnine, half girlish, from the lips of the
young subaltern, who stood in sorrow
near him. Those at a distance could
r.rv i have heard the word? nn KtiM s, nnia

thousands upoa.it; but the sounds were
unintelligible to everv one exeer.t tli.
j - r -
person who spoke, and he to whom they
were spoken.
The young ofSccr again mounted his
horse, and having spokeu a few words to
the Provost Maihal, loosened the rein
and dashed along the line till he arrived
at the General's quarters, lie drew up
thrust his sword into the turf, and se
cured the animal to it theu entered,
and ennf routed ihe commander.

alleged to be a spy."
' Well ? "
"Your clemency, General, he is a
brave soldier aud an houorable foe. you
will in consideration of these grant a res
pite?" 44 No."
44 He is condemned circumstantially

it f tint xreUurr? "
A
44 Yes: he commanded as a colonel
! there. An adventure on the close of the
secoud day's fight led to his beic$ cap
tured. It is a strange story, but you
shall hear: At Gordonsville, after
Jackson and Ewell's retreat, he encoun
tered a man named Gascomber, whom it
appeared exercised a great influence over
him. Gascomber was a prisoner, who
was captured on the death of Gcueral
Winder at Cedar Mountain. A mysteri
ous disclosure at once secured t !c 1 ric u J-
t r s l in
snip ot colonel vjamcon. lhev were
both
. . .
kidnapped at GordousviUe in my ' everybody knows and hardly anbody at
nv. Thev succeeded in makin" their i lcuJs to, that is, to sprinkle slacked lime
company. They
C5PG aoJ endeavored to rejoin their re-
spective armies near Gettysburg. Gas
comber on the second day fell mortally
wounded his division pierced the cen
ter of the Federal army Colonel Cain
eon'came to his relief, and at nightfall, as
he sought medical assistance, missed his
way. There is a secret about the pris-
oner's..birth, relationship, and estate,
j which only Gascomber could clear. The
prisoner sought it at his lips in his dying
hour. It is unrevealed yet, and with the
auxiety is added a dinhuuorable death.
A pardon, General, I solicit for hiui
he is too noble to play the spy."
General Leo put down his pen and
thought for a few moments. The young
oQccr was pale with anxiety and doubt.
Perhaps a pardon now might be too late.
He had only succeeded in gaining a res
pite for twenty minutes, and he now look
ed at his timepiece with tears in hi3 eyes.
Trumpets were sounding without the
guns fired iu heavy rumbling reverbera
tiou; yet the General was absorbed in
reflection. Heat last raised his head.
44 His pardon cannot be grauted," he
said, gloomily.
The youug soldier oddrcsscd him with
emphatic dignity:
44 General. I have bled and suffered
for my country, because I loved her
she has given me honor, fame, distinction,
aa a reward for rny iutegrity. I drew
my sword wheu the signal boomed from
the rocky bastions of Sumpter, and have
never since grown weary of the exercise.
To-day I pctitiou mercy for my ;
whom I declare iunoeeut, and am refus
ed. Have I become degenerate, that she
spurns the honor she guvc me, in doubt
ing my assertions of the prisoner's inno
cence? Farewell Honor, since no longer
it is truthful (3 re well War, siuco it is
dishonored -w- farewell General Lee, aud
to the gory battle fields where we fought
side by tide all is forgotten, and I may
return my sword, since as a soldier my
honor is doubted ! "
General Lee was amazed, piqued, and
angry with himself. Ho rtsa from
the writing table and looked out. The
young officer was riding slowly down the
hill towards the place where Austin was
still kneeling. General, Lee scratched
his head, and retired again to his writing.
A few loose sentences were scribbled iu
a moment. Could it have been a respite,
or were life and death contained in these
few idle words? I wish we were all
Kings or Generals.
Austin was yet living. A respite of
