A soldier is always subject to his country's call, therefore it is with a quick response that the young officer of the Confederate army, fighting under the Stars and Bars, answers the call of duty and tells his wife that be must join his regiment and meet the enemy. Bidding his weeping young wife and child a hasty good-bye, we next see him with the cavalry en route to the military camp. His superior officers trust him with an important message and he immediately starts on his way to deliver the document. Passing over many perilous obstacles through a wide stretch of country, he reaches the outposts of the Union forces, where he is captured and made a prisoner of war. Under close guard he tries to send word to his wife, but can get no one to take the letter to her. The poor wife knows nothing of his fate and it is not long before the Federal troops are attacking old Vicksburg, the bombs and shells crashing into the houses, and she is driven from home
