Leslie Carter. The other members of the com fens that he came merely for a social visit is believed until Lloyd Calvert Maryland's younr brother and also In the Union army, is caught within the lines and papers are found in his possession which implicate Alan in a plot. The two young prisoners are committed to the care of Col. Fulton Thorpe, a designing villain, who admires Maryland. He is desirous of having Alan condemned as a traitor so that his own path will be clear.

To accomplish this he resorts to every reprehensible artifice known to the stage villain. Charlesville at the close of a day's fight is shown In second act. The Confederates have made their long looked for attack upon the stronghold but are repulsed with heavy looses hy General Joe Hooker's wen.

particularly the one In the church belfry, that Mrs. Leslie Carter scored her greatest triumphs. Thorpe detains Maryland in the vestibule of the church when she comes to call upon the prisoners who are so near and dear to her and while she is there Aian makes his escape. To prevent the sounding of an alarm to the outposts by ringing the church bell, the girl mounts the belfry and grabs the clapiier just as a soldier gives the rope a mighty tug. Maryland cling.s to clapper and swings far out above the roof of the church.

A sharpshooter who has "been a lover of Maryland is commanded by Thorpe to shoot the fleeing man but his aim is bad caused, it afterward develops, by a tear that dropped just as he pulled the trigger. In the fourth act Aian returns to the church with a detachment of Union soldiers to rescue Maryland and the other prisoners.
