He calls upon his daughter, Rosalie, for assistance. The girl entices Warren to her home where he is set upon by several Confederate soldiers and made prisoner. It is then that the young captain displays the unusual nobility and generosity of character which compels Rosalie's admiration and wins her heart. Mrs. Ashby has been seriously ill for months and her condition becomes alarming. No doctor can be found in the neighborhood and the nearest town is many miles away.
