Niagra Falls l rode down to see the
battlefield Of Lundy's Lane. ! have
had . strong love for battle-felds ever
since l hurried back from Bull Run
to Washington, with forty thousand
other soldiers, TO inform the citizens
of that town the Union Army had
concluded not to take Richmond for
two or three weeks yet.
"You have been to Lundy's Lane
before, have you?" Iasked the hack
man.
"a hundred tines" hereplied.
@And you know all about it?'
"Everytkins"
The man was big enough to eat up
three or four histories of America,
and had coincidence in his asser-
tons. l got into his vehicle, he
mounted the box1and his fiery steeds
staggered aRsg in the direetion Of
the famous battlefield.
|. 1t is only q short distance from
-Niagra Falls. When one ponders
ever it he is almost inclined to be-
Iievc that the battle was d put up

add to the attraction of Niagra. The
hackman winked at nesghen I sug-

horses and said:

Lundy's Lane!w
&Where-which?"
@Ali around you-on both sides Of
the road" he replied.
It was a good place TO fight q battle.
There were several large trees there,
under which the soldiers could sit
and rest when they got tired OF Gght-
ing, and there were q good many
fences, behind which they could lie
and think and argue and discuss pol
itics during the monday heat.

I stood up and looked around.

awhile.

"Yes lanes
q never saw any lane here"
sBut there must be one around
here somewhere. They wouldn't call
it Lnndy's Lane ifthere wasn'ta a lane
here, would they?"
Il dunno" he mused; ''they might
have lied about it."
aHow did this battle commence,
and here?" 1 demanded, Is he
stretched out on the seat as if he
meant to go to sleep.
"I dunno" a
"You don't YOU base liar! Didn't

no .habitation between the two sta
