SKEERY LUCY. Old Man Plunkett's War Stories.


 ssSkeery Lucy, that's what they called her." said Plunkett, as he chunked the fire and seated himself in the corner.
 ssAs little girl at school, the teacher called her sTimid Lucy,' but all . the scholars knowed her as sSkeery Lucy for she went by that name among all the settlement folks and her own daddy and nanny said the name suited her charac- ter.
 'sWhen she growed up and got mar ried, she was just the same and when John, her old man, would be little late in getting home at night, he'd find her shut up tight in the house, with the doors all locked and every table and old bench and chairs piled up ergin them and when John would knock at the door and tell her who it was. he'd have to stand and wait till she moved these things away before he could open the door and then he'd scold her for being such dunce, but she'd just laugh and say:
 You knowed was 'skeery' fore you married me-
 s'The name of sSkeery Lucy clung to her for long time and guess she de served it, for she'd squeal at a Hazard or frog and take a fit, almost, if she seed snake, but when old Sherman come down here, she done what most any man would erbin erfraid to do and they quit calling her 'Skeery Lucy after that and that's what want to tell you erbout.
 ssShe was left with four little children to scuffie for when John went off to Vir ginia and it was mighty hard getting along at best, but as the armies got near CT things got scarcer and scarcer ant Lucy got scarier than ever. The big guns could be heard for a long time be fore we seed the Yankees and Lucy jus looked like she couldn't stand it and tn, folks in the settlement said she'd dit some day, just from fright and anxiety
 "But everybody had to scuffie ani one morning Lucy walked up with not : crust of bread in the house and thu children were swinging onto her dress and apron crying for something to ca and there was no other way but for hel to start out and get little meal for 'em She shut the children in the house ant 2 put out across the field to the mill an, they, poor things, had been taught b, their nanny to be afraid and ther they sat, all in huddle, as scared a rabbits at everything that cracked o made q fuss and whispered to eacl other.

"Sherman's army was on the move. making for the railroad-they'd got down the night before and Lucy didn't know it.r
 ssHardee's army was moving to meet the Yankees and to keep them from getting to the railroad and Lucy didn't know nothing erbout that.
 'sShe had just got to the mill and stepped upon the platform, when down battle at a double quick and before she had time to think they were past, throw ed out skirmishers and were expecting every minute to meet the Yankees.
 s'Sherman's line was coming toward Hardee and it was only question of 8 few minutes till the fight would begin. s'Lucy thought of her little children shut up in the house and knowed how scared they'd be when they heard so many men marching. She didn't know yet that it was fight.
 'sShe started in a run toward her house, intending to get there before Hardee's troops did. But old Sherman was coming to meet them and it would only be a minute till there would be warm times between Lucy and her house.
 1.-The skirmishers began to pop their guns up and down the line and here come battery dashing through road | in the woods and unlimbered in a twink. ling and let in and then the fight had started.
 | "Lucy's house was between the two lines. She seed shell hit the chimney and scatter the bricks and rocks. She thought of her four little children tha were huddled up and couldn't get out she didn't stop.
 ssThe balls were flying thick from on, line of battle to the other, but she dash ed through Hardee's line and went u] through the cotton patch the same as , deer. The soldiers screamed come back lay down! you'll be killed and sich like but through it all she went and dashes lergin the door and fell in ermong he little children.
 sJust then a bomb struck one corne of the house and scattered splinter everywhere. The children were cling ing to her and CT screaming at the top O their voices. Another shell hit tn house and tore away one gable end am the mir nie balls were pattering the sam las hale. She grabed the smallest chil, up on her left arm and made the res ljine hands and then took hold of the en child's hand and out they dashed int the open field between two armies.
 ssThe Yankee line was the first one t. see them, as they went stumbling, fall ing and rolling over the cotton rows an yelled like madmen:
 T "sA truce, truce, a truce!'
 'sThen Hardee's men seed what ws the matter and they waved their can and jumped up and down and yelled:
 ".sA truce a tzNce, q tzpcer sI A1A less time then 1t takea to tell you : the firing ceased and . hundred IT from HArdee's line rushed for the chlll tSen and Lucy md the 1rst one to tl,el
