And old Uncle Mose fully determined to bear the trust reposed in him. But blood is blood, and when the old negress, his chum through all the bright, dark days of their slavery, told him she was going north to help the Union boys win the fight for their freedom, his old heart was touched and his spirit responded to the call. He thought the matter over long, and finally decided that his course lay north. So quietly and a little sadly, he packed his few belongings and left the house, wending his way to the Northern camp. In the meantime Malcolm was distinguishing himself tor brave and loyal service on the field of battle. And when it became necessary to send a spy into the Union lines, the first choice was Malcolm. He started on his perilous mission with hope and courage, but soon after he had crossed the lines he was detected, tried and sentenced to die at dawn. A little after his sentence had been imposed he met Uncle Mose in camp. After the surprised meeting, he whispered the reason for his being in the camp and the penalty that impended. Then it was that all Uncle Mose's loyalty and faithfulness came to the fore, he went to the commander and for a permit to see Malcolm in his cell. After the conference, he returned to the commander and pleaded tor the life of his young master, offering his own as forfeit. But his suggestion and offer were scoffed at, and he determined a more daring plan to carry the young Confederate to freedom and safety. He skulked about the tent in which the warden of the jails was stationed, and when an opportunity was presented, sneaked inside, hurled himself upon the unsuspecting and unprepared warden, killed him, obtained the keys, gave Malcolm his freedom, and surrendered himself to the Union officers. Of course, his poor life was taken in lieu of the free spy's. The leaden message was rendered, and when his body fell, cold, limp and lifeless, they took, almost tenderly, a portrait of Lincoln from his pocket, and looked upon the form who was loyal to his Savior, but even more loyal to his master.
