ACT I. Capt. Oliphant's home in the North. An unfinished honeymoon. The

call of duty. A wife's anguish. “My hand girt on the sword that will be raised against my father!” The rebel spy. THE STOLEN DESPATCHES. “He is Madge's father! Rather a thousand times my own disgrace, than be his executioner.” The penalty of silence. DISGRACED.
