night 'Iless a stragglin' gang runs in on us."
 They'll be sorry if they do," the boaster asserted.
 The rehef came, and Luke, wearied in body and mind, was glad to return to lic down in his tent, for long rides and sleep less nights were beginning to tell upon hlm.
 While dragging his weary feet along the road to camp it seemed as if every step must be the last. Reaching his tent worn out with anxiety and fatigue, he threw himself on Q pile of straw and was soon in the land of dreams.
 In the slumbers of midnight his mind gradually drifted back to the pleasant days he had spent at the old farmhouse in coul- pany with Lillie. That angry cloud which for moment had flashed from Albert Neff's brow seemed a blur upon their happiness, which was rapidly growing into terrible storm-cloud, obstructing the light and glad ness of the sun.
 Lightning flashed from the dark cloud and peals of thunder, sharp and incessant, like mUskot shots, rang out. He saw Lillie at his feet struggling in death.
 He had stopped over her, when he felt himself being dragged somewhere by the heels.
 "My Godl Whats the matterf" he cried, wide awake.
 ''Glt up - they're fghtin'l" roared Ar kansaw Tom in his ear.
 Distant firing affirmed the assertion
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1889-04-15

"Yer on fur picket t'-night," said a
 corporal, coming to the door of the tent and
 laying his hand on Luke's shoulder. ''Go
 on t seven.''
 "How long do stay on guarda" asked Luke. 'I had but little sleep last night" "Only two hours, then comes first relief" 1" said Corporal Max, who had in the last few days imbibed world of military knowl- edge. Corporal Max was chronic grum-
 bier, but very rigid disciplinarian so far
 as he knew.
 At the appointed hour Luke and three
 others, under Corporal Max, shouldered
 their guns and went some three or four
 miles from the camp, where the road parted. and there sat down under a large tree. This was the extreme picket post, and but a slender guard was left about the camp.
 The picket amused themselves telling stories and commenting on the situation,
 while Luke sat little apart from the | others, his mind filled with that dark, strange mystery of his life. What hand had launched that cradle upon the bosom of the flood which bore his infant form, and what was the purpose? Was his destruc- ton sought because he was living testi- mony of sin. Then, again, who had stolen the large yellow handkerchief and for what purpose. But as theso reflections were painful, he tried to cast them aside and listen to the chatter of his companions. 'I don't think they f done come t. fight
 us," one of the guards, who was lying on the grass gazing up at the stars, boastfully re-
 marked. ''We'd lick lem too quick" t'They're concentratin' at Lexington" said Corporal Max 'T don't see what sense thar is in hangin' around here. Why not go thar an' clean lem upl Thar's no danger
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1889-04-15
" HAITI" HE CRIED.

bangs of hunger at last overcoming him, he joined them in the feast.
 Having satisfied their appetites the five soldiers went to the front yard, where they saw the advance guard of the little army coming down the hill.
 "Take your places in front of the fence, and allow no one to come inside" /" said Luke
 The first soldier who attempted to force his way inside was stopped by Arkansaw Tom, who said:
 "Ye can't come in."
 "Whya' the man asked.
 "Because we've orders ter perfect this ere property"
 "Hain't they seceshf'
 "Dun make no dif'rence; we uns hev orders, an you 'ns kin go on."
 The man turned to his companions, who had halted near, and said:
 "They've got guard thar an won't let us in."
 "What f they hev!' cried Q great, blus- tering. burly fellow. "Hain't they seceshl Now let's go in an burn the house down."
 'If ve do yell make trouble fur yer selves," said Tom.
 'They're secesh, an' I'm ergoin' t burn tn house. I'll see who's int, too Come on, you 'ns, f ye hain't too big towards"
 Luke cast glance at the old house be- meath whose friendly roof he had passed his happiest days. It was the home of his friends, the home of his betrothed-and in the attic was the old wooden cradle which had borne his infant form on the flood. This last relic of his mysterious babyhood would, of course, perish with the house. He de- termined to defend it with his life.
 Leaping on the fat-topped gate, the re- cruit cooked his musket The fro in those eyes warned the men of the danger.
 'Halt!" he cried, so sharply that they in stantly came to stand-still. He glared at them for a moment and said: "Don't al low that bully to lead you to d cath, for in tend to shoot the first man who atte mpts to enter"
 "Ye'r not sich towards Q, to be skeered by him; go on,' cried the boaster, taking care not to advance step himself.
 "Stay where you are, men, and if he wants to burn the house, let him come and try ii. :"
 "Yes, Zack, go an' burn the house, and we'll wait here" said one OF the boaster's companions.
 But Zack was not quite so ready to go as to send others. He stamped and swore he would eat the earth, when Luke resolutely but coolly assured him that he would get a taste of it if he attempted to enter the gate.
 "Hain't ye comin' ter help mol" Zack roared.
 "Taint no use," said an old farmer look ing recruit, seating himself on the wood pile. There's only five on lem, and ye say ye kin clean out a dozen any time Yedon't need us-no, we'll stay here and watch ye"
 For Q moment Zack hesitated between pride as 8 bully and fear of the musket. Pride at last got the better of his fears, and, with volley of oaths, he took step toward the gate. Instantly Luke's gun covered his heart
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1889-04-15
CHAPTER W. A SAnCv uRppY

Again the boaster halted and fixed his eyes on the resolute soldier upon the gate. There was no mistaking the intent of the recruit, and turning about Zack said:
 "Oh, come on; the main army I'll ketch up wi us directly"
 His companions gave utterance to shouts of derisive laughter, and followed the cowed bully down the road.
 "Ye've got grit n no miatake," Arkan- "I SNOW, I believe ye'd shed his blood f he'd done it."
 "I certainly would," Luke answered, de- scending from bis perch.
 In @ few moments stragglers began to come along and the men were kept busy to prevent their stealing something or doing some damage.
 The main column at last came in view, with Captain Smart at the head.
 "Ye've saved 1t so far, see," he said.
 "I have, Captain, but came very nearly shooting one man to do it."
 "You did right If ye find any O them prowlin', or at any devilment here, let lem have 1t. know old Jordan Neff, and he's good square man, and no n shall harm his house. But yell find lots O stragglers f0llorin' us. The meanest :ar' allers in tn r'ar Better stay hero till the last uns gone by."
 As Luke intended asking this permission, he readily assented. The main column of about two hundred men, which Captain Smart called an army, moved on.
 The Captain was correct when he said : ''The meanest ar' alhers in tn r'ar," as Luke soon discovered. It took no little courage and determination to hold the scoundrels in check. He was forced to knock one down and prod another with his bayonet before the stragglers of the rear guard could be induced to give up the idea of plunderiAE the house.
 By the time the last straggler had gone by, leaving the house unmolested, the main body of troops was some four or five miles away.

Some one thrust gun ln hls hand and a voice whispered:
 "Glt down t' tn fence!
 It was only about twenty rods to the fence where most Of the men already were, and he ran there as fast as he could. Occasion ally shot was fired, and he thought he heard a bullet hum through the air.
 "Stiddy, boys, stiddy!" cried Captain Smart, who having seen service in Mexico was not under fire for the first time. "We'u lick lem yit.''

 The head withdrew into the woodbines, a slight rustling noise and the negro was gone over the low fence into the wood be- yond.
 When Luke returned he found his con- rndes seated at the farmers table helping themselves to the ready cooked dinner
 "As they've all vamoose ed we thought it best ter keep this ar grub from spilin'," said old Tom.
 Luke felt inclined to deny them the right to appropriate the dinner of others, but, the

KALAMAZOO Mich July 5, 1889.
We, the undersigne citizens Of Kenosha
city and county, spent this day in the beau
tiful city of Kalamazoo, Michigan, much to
our pleasure and profit as the guests Of the
Michigan Hedge Company. We were in
vited to make the excursion 10y the Com
pany's agent, Mr.. c NJ Covell, who has
located with his family in Kenosha, and
who will Introduce the compsny's business
to our citizens. We do not hesitate to say
that we were amazed at the Improvements
made and perectne>s If the hedges we saw
upon the farms surrounding Kalamazoo
and after carefully examining them, are
satisfied of their utility and practicrl ilty
as farm fences They are certainly valua-
bic and permanent improvements to the
farm property and beautily the landscape
to large degree We talked with farmers
and nursery,nen who have long lines of
hedges upon their land constructed by this
company, and all unequivocaly pronounced
themselves highly satisfied with the com
pany, its fences and its methods of doing
business. We saw completed fences four
years old from time Of planting We in.
vestigated the financial standing of the
company and found it sound. We were af-
forded every means of learning all about
the status, integrity and ability to perform
and fulfiil all obligations and we are salts
fled to recommend the Company and its au-
thorized agent to our citizens. Fencing is
an important factor with all farmers ana
good fences are just as necessary and valu-
able in Wisconsin as they are in Michigan,
Indiana and Ohio If Kenosha County
could be fenced with as good fences as we
saw on the farms surrounding Kalamazoo,
the land would increase in value at least 10
per cent and the face of the country would
be beautifed TEN fold.

Miss Adele Carlton, who is undoubted-
ly the most versatile actress we have yet
seen in Kenosha, opened an engagement at
the Opera House last Thursday evening
Her initial appearance as Lady Audley, in
"Lady Audley's S. cret," and the fire, pas
sion and virility displayed, at once stamped
her as an actress of pronounced merit. In
"Fanchon the Cricket" much lighter
role, she astonished all who had previously
witne-s ed her Lady Andley, by her piquant,
girlish ways, which were SO greatly in con-
trast with her performance of the night
previous. Her versatility is certainly re-
markable, and she is gifted with wonder
full voice. Her support includes W. j..
Cogswell, VIM. E. Todd, Albert S. Caspar,
Geo. w. Collins, Birdie Bartram, aad Lou
Use and Chic Kehoe. These artists were
more than satisfactory in all characters as
sumed by them, Mr.. Cogswell and Mr. Todd
deserving special mention. Birdie Bartram
is also entitled to praise for her able rendi-
tion of difficult roles. This young lady is
not yet fourteen years of age. Miss Carl
ton and her company remain here all this
week and merit full house each night.
