Of our men noticed him as well, and two
or three called out that he looked
enough like me to be a brother. By his
own individual efforts he rallied enough

few minutes we drove them again
and were in the Federal camps. Then
our lines broke and each man fought
for himself. | had sing ed out the SER

II was nearly half-past eight. Mann
ma was knitting, the aunt was sewing,
and the big sister was standing on the
dictionary, rehearsing her elocution
exercise. Nobody but mamma heard
the back hall door softly open, and the
tiny feet go stealing upstairs. When
the elocution exercise was over, mann
ma said she must go and find the mate
to the stocking she was knitting.
So she went upstairs; but, before
looking for the stocking, she went into
Paul's room. There, in the starlight,
she saw the brown curly head cuddled
into its customary pi lows She was
good and faithful mamma, and so she
did not laugh-out loud. She stopped

mothers house was a large garden-as
large as a whole city block -and at
the far end OF it was little knoll, or
hill. with rocks cropping out. IT was
behind this hill that little Paul wished
to camp. for from there the house would
be out of sight, and il would be Just
like camping So his mother gave
him large old crumb-cloth for tenti

meat and hard-boiled eggs, and some
gingerbread and apples for his break

pepper and salt. She had the hired
man help him drive the stakes and
fasten the crumb-cloth over them The
hired man, Of his own accord, brought
from the barn a large bundle of hay to
spread under the blankets, so as to
make comfortable bed. BY twilight
every thing was ready, and Paul kissed
his mother, his aunt and his big sister
goodbye, and, shouldering his cross
bow, marched away TO the "Rocky
Mountains. as he called the little
knoll
He pinned back tie doors OF his tent
with big catch-pins. and then sat down
on the ground Every thing was dread

the bottle Of milk looked very com

could ask for
But it was so dreadfVlly still! Not

shone a star. and the star made out

one shoe and then the other and sat for
a while listening. Then suddenly kick
