Upon regaining consciousness, the officer who attacked the girl tells his men to make a thorough search of the barn for the spy. The girl, who has brought food to her protector, bears the men coming, drags him out of the barn into the house and hides him in the fireplace of the library In which the General and his officers have left the maps and plans of their intended attack upon the Northern forces. After the girl has left the room, he comes from his hiding-place, takes the plans and places them in the bosom of his shirt, stepping back into the fireplace again.
