Willi thnt ho lu'lnborcd the poor
lior('' flniiku with tlio stump of liU
whip and si'tit him RnllopltiR onwnnl.
Tin-re were no uprlnK to tho wnjrun,
hut we vnlurd our live too wt'll to
dmw rein nt rvit or stone. At one pnit
of tho rond I f on red thnt If wo did not
chi'ck our pace wo would hronk n
wheel nnd ho loft with no monns to
(tit on unvo our less. I cnutlonod tho
driver to slacken his pneo; hut, henrlnji
or fancying he heard tho clntterltiR of
horses' hoofs behind, without n word
from mo ho npplled tho lnsh. Now wo
hounded Into tho nlr nnd now wo were
tossed toRethor like dice In n box.
"Olt Oop, ye critter!" cried tho blnek
mlth. mingling Scotch nnd Tennessee.
"Don't ye know yo're grnnRln bonny
loddle flyln for their lives?" And
down enme tho butt of tho whip. It
was harrowing to see n horse forced to
glvo his life to snve ours, but our situ
atlon wns too critical to wnrrant any
slackening of speed. Jack, who of nil
our force was usually most frightened
at danger ahead nnd would fight It
most vigorously when face to face with
It. for once acted In reverse nt seeing
the poor brute making lesps thnt were
killing him.
"Stop beating that horse, yon brute,"
she cried, "or I'll beat you!" And she
sprang forward to seize the whip. I
caught her In my nrms. She looked tip
Into my face nnd burst Into tears.
Whether It was wholly sympathy or
overstrained nerves 1 did not know;
probably both. At any rate, 1 protect
ed her from the Jolting by keeping her
In my arms, while she hid her fnce ho
that she could not see the suffering
horse.
"Jack," said Buck, "you're notuln
but a baby."
"Shut lip, yo' little nigger I" she cried.
I could not repress a smile nt the re
tort, seeing which. Jack realized the
absurdity of It nil nnd broke Into n
laugh, while the tears continued to run
down her cheeks.
"Won't yo' let mo support yo' against
the Jolting?" nsked Captain lteaumont
ruefully.
"Yo'?" Do yo' suppose I'd let yo'
touch mo? Yo' shot my best friend.'
"Do yo" dislike me fo' shooting a
robber?" asked her ndinlrer sadly.
"I hnte yo'."
Benumout settled down In n corner of
the wngon In despondency. After
awhile Jack slid down besldo him,
whereupon he suddenly lighted up and
took as much Interest In our flight us
any one of the party.
We were a wild looking load to tho
few people who passed us. Whenever
we saw a fnrm wngon coming or going
we would shout to Its driver to get out
of the way. They must have supposed
our horse to be n runaway, for every
one quickly turned nsldo. There are
pictures of thnt ride which I can see
today, so vividly were they stamped
on my memory. An old man with his
hands on the handle of his plow gaped
through Iron rimmed spectacles, a wo
man In a cheek gown nnd simbonnet
stopped trimming plants In her gar
den nnd stood with the ahenrg In her
hnnd to gape nt us ns If we were a
party of witches who had lit on the
earth from the moon and were making
ready to take to the sky again. Ne
groes, children, country lads, faced tho
road ns we passed nnd stood wonder
stricken till we were out of sight.
Coming to a rise In the ground where
wc could look to our rear for perhaps a
mile, wc were tf-rror stricken to see a
man shoot around a bend In the road at
n gallop. In a moment another follow
ed. We could not see If there were
nny more, for we pimrd over the sum
uilt. Not far below n milestone told
us that It was one mile to Declierd.
"One mile to their two. Can we not
do It, driver'" I n:il;ed quickly.
, The only answer was another "Git
oop!" and renewed hammering on the
horse's rump. The eyes of nil were
(trained to the rear, watching to see
Just what chance there was from time
to time between life and death, wliil
I examined the carbines, which we had
taken care to bring with us, to dlseov
cr If they were In good condition. At
every rise we could sec either one or
more men coming like tho wind. They
Wncks'mftfi to lay It on hnrd, well
knowing thnt between us nnd our pur
suers wns only the life of his horse.
He wns raising his whip when tho
horse stumbled and fell, pitching most
of us out of the wngon. fortunntely on
oft ground. Getting up and running
to the prostrate animal, I found him
stone dead.
We were still a quarter of a mllo
from the town, nnd the guerrlllns
would be on us In a Jiffy. Cnlllng to
the others to help. I turned the wngon
across the rond nnd directed nil to take
position behind It. Distributing tho
guns, we waited the coming of the nd-
ance of our enemies. Three men, pret
ty near together, cntchlng sight of us,
drew rein nnd wnlted for their com
rades. Others soon came up, nnd I
counted seven men prepnrlng to charge
us. I wns nbout to give nn order as to
the firing when 1 heard an exclamation
from Ginger:
"Bress de I.awd!"
Turning, I saw a troop of cnvnlry
carrying the stars and stripes riding
leisurely from the town. I nred a shot
to attrnct their nttentlon. Suddenly
hey seemed to tnkc In the situation.
I heard the shnrp word of command
nnd saw them coming nt a gallop.
Clanclng nt the guerrillas, I saw them
vanishing In tho dlstnnce.
"Saved!" 1 cried.
"De bressed Lnwd bo t'ankedl" shout
ed Ginger.
"(Jol darn It," said Buck, "of I'd 'ft
hnd n shot I'd 'a' plunked one of 'em!"
