But what regiment do you belong to ?" "The Seventeenth Georgia," answered Frank.
"Did you catch any of the Yankees you are after ?" "No, ma'am, not yet.

But we shall have them before to-morrow night." "Oh, I hope so! I suppose you will hang them to the nearest tree, as fast as you catch them ?" "No, ma'am, I can't do that.

They will be prisoners, you know, and must be treated as such." "Then bring them here, and I will hang them for you," exclaimed the lady, excitedly.

"I think our government is entirely too lenient with the rascals." During the conversation that followed, Frank gained some very valuable information concerning the plans the rebels had on foot for the capture of the runaways.

He also learned that the lady's husband was an officer of high rank in the rebel army, and that she was expecting him home every moment.
