CHAPTER FIFTEENTH.
ARRIVAL OF HARRY.
The next day Emily prepared herself to welcome the return of her lover, while Dr.Humphries proceeded to the railroad depot to meet him.

In the meantime, we will give our readers a brief account of Harry's escape.
After leaving Chicago, Harry made his way through the country towards the Tennessee river.

His journey was a dangerous one, for the people of Illinois where then highly elated at the successes which had attended the Yankee arms, and the few sympathisers that the South had in their midst, were afraid to express their sympathies.

He, luckily, however, succeeded in finding out a worthy gentleman, who not only befriended him, but furnished the necessary means for his journey, and procured a passport for him to visit Nashville.

Prepared for a continuation of his travel, Harry, who had been staying at the residence of his noble hearted host for three days, bade him adieu, and started on his way to Nashville.
