which led into 3 larger chamber of the

his handon the floor Of the cave, where
he was shocked to feel something round
and smooth.
Starting back with terror, he raised the
candle high above his head and looked
down. There lay the coils of huge
serpent. In his terror Mr.. Harlem LEI

perspiration. Nevertheless his mind
was reasonably clear, and the events of
his life ran in quick succession before
his mental vision. With anguish he
thought Of the home which he had left
but q few hours before. The feeling Of
helplessness seemed to increase. Sud

not remove his eyes from the snake long
enough to look for the gun, which he
had dropped on the floor in his excite

he turned away from the creature it

DEAR c. c. FRIENDS: This is from the 16-year-
old daughter of q soldier in the far West. When
Sumter was first threatened in 1861, my father
abandoned the practice of the law tliS proiesSlon]
and raised company of soldiers in his native
towr-Freeport, Pa. The company was assigned
ness of the Government in providing arms, the
company becoming dispirited, and not being sworn
in disbanded. Papa Immediately enlisted in the
u. s. Signal Corps. During the next four years he
was in every prison in the South but Anderson
vile; although all through the war, was never
wounded. and at the surrender at Appomattox
held the rank of Captain in the Signal Corps.
fathers should be proud of them. / am of mine
and often wonder if our brothers and boy friends
should be called upon to defend their country
they would acqut themselves ereditabiy. Papa
is member of the Loyal Legion and the G. A. r.,
but his duties as Associate Justice of Montana do
not allow of his attendance often at the q. A. r.
meetings.
There are great many ex-soldiers of the Lost
Cause " in this country, and great many pa
triotsh who found il convenient to come West
just as the war began.
Would some of the members of the Sixteen Cir
Gle please send to my address, or to THE TRIBUNE,
the names of some poems prose pieces good for

and lively. Where can / get books with such
pieces in?
AS it seems the fashion to write for correspond
