CHAPTER XIII.

CHAPTER KILL
AT PrrTsBURG LANDING.
When Luke found himself prisoner Of
the Tennessee brigands he fully expected
that his last moment had come. Had his
captors been regular COME ierates, his life
would have been safe. but he knew that
these partisan warriors, no better than
brigands, with their primary objects blood
and plumber, set all military law at de-
hance, and seldom or never spared pris-
oner.
The captive was resigned to his fate,
however. He had entered the army fully
realizing the dangers which attended such
life, and taken his chances; now that fate
had formed the decree against him he had
determined to nurmur not

He paused, expecting to see his captive

but Captain Mason was firm and unmoved,
his eye meeting his enemy's without quail

guerrilla added

Half a dozen started toward the captive
as il they would put the threat into execu-
ton, when some one evidently high in au-
thority put stop to the proceedings. Luke
did not know why he did so, but realized
that his fate was deferred to future time
The arrival of country boy with some
alarming intelligence threw the guerrlllas
into confusion, and preparations Were made
for a hasty departure. Luke was placed
upon Il horse, and under a strong guard
hurried off down the road into a wild,
broken country, where the hills were so
high that they looked like mountain peaks,
and the forests were so dense as to form q
safe hiding place from the invading army.
They halted at an old mill on a creek, and
the prisoner was given a breakfast, which,
poor as it was, was heartily relished by the
half-starved soldier. Luke was the only

Tomorrow, the fourth Sunday in Ad-
vent, the services in the church of the
Holy Faith will be as follows: Mathis
and litany with an exhortation at II a.
M. The services will be conducted by
Mr.. H. 0. Laid, who has been commits
stoned during the past week as lay
reader, with permission to use such por-
tons of the service as are proper for a
layman to read and to make exhortations
based upon the gospel or epistle for the
day. MIR. Ladd is acting as commits
stoned layman, as the Episcopal church
requires those who minister as clergymen
in her services to be ordained by pre-
lates of the Apostolic succession.
Whether Mr.. Ladd in the future may
seek and obtain such ordination or no Is
not affected in any way by his acting un-
der the bishops order as lay reader; for,
as is well known, persons who are not
candidates for orders, like the governor
of this territory, hold such commissions.

Still q Mystery.

Benedito Pacheco, worthy citizen of
Chimyo, WAS arrested this week on the
charge OF completely in the murder OF Cruz
Martin, the man whose body was found
near Barranca, partly burned. Some one
passing on the railroad track soon after
the murder became known reported to
The Taos authorities that red headed
man had been seen passing near the scene
of the crime, and as Pacheco was the only
red headed man in that locality, he fell
under suspicion. He was taken before a
Justice at kincones and defended by NJ.
Larragoite. There was no evidence what
ever against him and he was discharged.
The arrest created great excitement on
the Chimyo, and fully $50 of Pacheco's
friends were present at his examination.
The murder is still mystery.

Make YOURSELF useful.

There are people who do not exert
the powers they suppose they possess,
because they do not occupy position
adapted to call forth those powers.
They stand idle, because, they say,
no man has hired them. When
asked if there is nothing for them
to do, they reply, in effect, nothing
worthy of their powers. Those who
thus wait for stations worthy Of their
supposed powers may spend life in
idleness. The true man does vigor-
ously whatsoever his hand findeth to
do. He is never out Unemployment,
because he is ever ready to accept
any work which he can obtain. Let
no young man wait in idleness for a
situation worthy of his powers. Let
him do with his might whatsoever
his hand findeth to do. The way to
get a better place is to perform in
first-class manner the duties of your
present one. The way to prepare
for greater usefulness is to make
yourself as useful as possible in your
present calling.
