A Veteran Now a Trurnn.

The queerest pair Of tramps that Phil.
adelphia people ever looked upon stood
at the corner Of Ninth and Walnut streets
and begged aims from the passing throng.
Both men supported themselves on
srutches. One had only a stump of A
leg, and the other mendicant's right limb
was minus the foot and ankle. Their
clothes We're desperately shabby, and
they seemed so utterly woe begone that
the Italian bootblack offered them a
dime, which was promptly accepted.
Little else money came their way until
the closing of the matinee at the Walnut
street theatre.
Presently there came along tall and
well dressed man. who put silver quar-
ter into the palm of the one whose leg
was closely shorn off He had hardly
made the gift before he wheeled around
and looked the recipient of it squarely
in the face. Il ought to know you, my
man, he said
"And know you, colonel" was the
answer.
"Were you not wounded at the battle
of Charles City Cross Roads,"
Il was shot there, but | fought it
through and got my serious wound IN
der your command on the morning that
Gen. Lee surrendered.
To-day is the anniversary of the sur
render" said the colonel. He plunged
his hand into his pocket and drew out
pile of silver and some paper money.
Selecting from the lot s. note, he
pressed it into the hand of the veteran,
who had turned mendicant, and wended
his way up Walnut street.-Philadel-
