To Frank's surprise they turned at right angles from the line they ware punning for road, yon wmld not call it and plunged into the creek, up whose rocky stream bed they rode with undiminished speed. This brought them to a clearing, acroee Which they literally flew, urging tha punting horses ton maddening gallop; tqt ns thay washed the cover of n friendly wood, Swayne drew the rein.

Aa Swayne rid, the leading man waa evidently the quarry of the others and aa they drew nearer it was apparent that he wore the uniform of a Union officer. The chase must have been long and severe, for the horses of all were pounding along with that rolling grit, which told how nigh they were exhausted. In fact, several in the for distance could he seen who had dropped out of tha race altogether, only three were within pistol-sho- t of. the fugitive, on whom they were gaining at every stride. 1 allow were again' ter take a ban' in this gams" Dick said, grimly, aa ha spoke. tightening 'his saddle-girt- h Now eaon esjhey git alongside, dash out oa em, aa' holler for all yer worth they'll think the woods is full on us an' you'll ace a circus." So when tha thundering hoofs were close upon them, the two young fellows buret out of ambush, yelling like a bond of Comsneheq. Swayne, with his strong, fresh hone, in the fury of hie attack literally rode down the foremost of the pursuers, while Frank hurled himself upon the second, whs however, managed to keep hia saddle. But the rout wee complete.

Picking himself up aa best as he could, started on a run. 1 was no easy to reach the Union lines, but he got there at last. By this time Siegel had moved on the right flank of the enemy and driven the Confederate lines back, while Lyon with four thousand men end ten guns had .hurled himself against them on the left, of battle Frank in the hurly-burl- y was running hither and thither.
