She gives Dick a red rose, significant of love, and to Harry she gives a "rosemary," which signifies remembrance. This display of coquetry encourages them both. Harry proposes and is refused; Dick proposes and is accepted. Shortly after this, the Civil War breaks out. Harry joins the Confederate ranks and Dick takes up arms for the North. Dick is disguised as a Negro and commissioned to spy upon the Confederate army and enters the encampment of the very regiment of which Harry is a member, and who happens to be on picket duty. Dick is captured and placed in the guardhouse. Harry recognizes Dick, but Dick doesn't recognize Harry. Harry induces Dick to change clothes, thereby effecting his escape. Later, Harry is condemned to death for treason. At Virginia's home, Dick reads in the newspapers of his brother's death. His grief is unrestrained, and up to this time, he did not know it was his brother who effected his liberty. Virginia mourns with Dick, and soon they are married. Written by
