A STRANGE MEETING, I Ratigan was so fexhausted as to be] only able to give Maynard a few detached sentences, conveying some idea as to what he had accomplished. There was little that it was essential should be told except that Colonel Fitz Hugh would meet him between the lines as soon as he could get there Casting a glanc 3 at his watch, Maynard noticed .that it was 20 minutes to 12. The distance to the point of rendez- vons, as near as they could estimate it, was two miles, Every minute was precious. It would be midnight before they could meet, and then they would only have about six hours in which to take measures to secure a reprieve, They could only do so by communi- cating with general headquarters, some 15 miles away. In any event the case l was desperate. However, Maynard had been used in his scouting days to sudden transitions and had himself escaped from prison on the very night before his intended execution. Calling his striker, he bade him saddle Madge, who, he knew, could carry him over the ground at no laggard pace, and, ordering a mount for the corporal at the same time, the two waited im- “Who '.

Then, wheeling, each rode back'to hisprincipal, and in a few moments more the Union and Confederate oflicers faced each other from opposite banks of the creek. The distance between them at this point was but a few yards, and the night was not so dark but that they could plainly see each other.

Maynard’s words were quicker than Fitz Hugh’s, who held to the slower fashion of speaking common in the south. After the last sentence spoken by Fitz Hugh there was a. long silence. They had met for a. purpom. Their meeting was a failure. - . .u 777‘: qulc It seemed to both that they could hear their watches ticking away the seconds that lay between Caroline Fitz Hugh and death. Neither knew the agony sufi‘ered by the other unless he judged that other by himself. Neither had the heart to terminate the interview, though both knew that it fruitless. A night bird set up a dismal cry. It seemed a deathdmell. Then Maynard broke the silence. “Colonel,” he said in a set voice, :"remain here or meet me here at any time after a. hour.

Fitz Hugh rejoined his companion and rode away in the direction of Ringold, and Ma‘ nard, fo!lowed by Ratigan, started "back: toward their camp. Maynard’s brain was in a fever. Time had been expended to no gain. The small hours were coming on, and only six of them would pass before the event he so much dreaded would take place. He h'adfomed hixreeolve.
