pushed the prows of their boats up that
stream, and rested their eyes upon the
loneliness about them-the south bank
wood of glorious pines, rising from the
flats in three commanding terraces, and
the north bank solid bed Of sweet fern
and princess pine, fecked with wild
roses, golden-rod, and honeysuckle, and
starred with anemones and life-everlast-
ingS-it is small wonder that they named
the stream Bouq net River. Men Of less
strong Imagination would have done the
same.
Although some of the descendants
of these Frenchmen still remain
along the Bouquet, most of them
have been crowded northward by
the sturdy English settlers; and
in September, 1914, when our narrative
begins. the north bank of the river near
the mouth was crowned by the substan-
tiai brick farmhouse and fruitful orchards
of Daniel Fairchild.
Some three-fourths of a mile further
up the river were the Willsborough falls,
and just above them busy little town of
the same name.
The principal parsonage in the village
was Mr.. Levi Highly, whose extensive
FORCES were at that time busy preparing
anchors for American war ships, and his
distillery was doing its utmost to supply
. grog enough for American soldiers and
Seamen, it being q time when warm,
ardent spirits were in greatest demand.
1t was the day after the great naval
battle of PlattSburg, at which Melon
ough had gained his famous victory over
the British under Capt. Downie's com
mand.
1t will be remembered that part of the
British squadron managed to escape. 1t
put across the lake to Burlington.
In the dusk of evening, as this rem
mant of fleet came in sight of old "Rock
Dunder," which lies little to the south
of Burlington, it mistook the dark out
line of this granite island for the con-
tour of an American war ship, dropped
anchor, and sent broadside after broad
side against its flinty face
As the mists of morning lifted suffi-
ciently to show the astonished seamen
what they had been wasting their pow
der and ball on, British naval pride suf-
Tered modification never before expe-
rienced. Angered and chagrined, the
commander determined to find a more
sensitive target for his cannon, and put
out again-this time for the mouth OF
the Bouquet River.
When he had sailed his ships as far
into the mouth Of the river as they could
go, he dropped anchor and lowered his
galleys. These were manned with as
many seamen as they could hold, which
made quite formidable fleet.
They moved up the river as quietly
and as undisturbed as had the French SC
many years before; but their bright uni
forms and glistening guns betrayed theil
real mission.
Leaving their galleys below the falls
they marched into the little village and
took possession of it before the inhabit
ants were hardly aware that there was q

into the distillery, calling;

Levi Highly quickly scanned the road
leading from the falls, and sure enough
there were @Britches" and to spare, with
4redcoats" to match, and altogether the
wrong sort of men inside theml
But he quickly determined to make
the best Of things, and win by craft what
he could not by force
He met the British commander as
gracefully as circumstances would per-
init, and offered to show the visitors
through his FORCES, where the anchors
for American fleets were being made.
The commander was not insensible to
the humor Of the situation, and accepted
the invitation with gallant goOd-nature,
and many jests were passed between the
seamen and the smiths. The latter were
not molested in their work. as the COM
mander. had given orders that nothing
belonging to Mr.. Highly should be dis
turbed-
Meantime Mr.. Highly had secretly sent
word to his household to prepare as fine
a spread as could be laid on short notice,
and bring out the best liquors that his
ample store could provide.

ing makes the flesh crawl like the
demoniacal singing, purEing, whistling
grape shot and the serpent-hke hiss of
canister.
Mems legs and heads are torn from
bodies and bodies cut In two. A round
shot or shell takes two men out of the
rank as it crashes through. Grape and
canister NOW swath and pile the dead
on top of each other.
Through the smoke we see q swarm
of men. It is not battle line, but a
mob of men desperate enough to battle
their bayonets in the flame of the guns.
The guns leap from the ground almost
as they are depressed on the foe, and
shrieks and screams and shouts blend
into one awful and steady cry. Twenty
men out of the battery are down, and
the firing is interrupted. The foe ac-
cept it as a sign of wavering and. come
rushing on. They are not ten feet
away when the guns give them the last
| shot. The discharge picks living men
off their feet and throws them into the
swamp, blackened, bloody mass.
Up, now, as the enemy are among
the guns. There is q silence of ten
seconds, and then the flash and the
roar of more than 5000 muskets and a
rush forward with bayonets. For what ?
Neither on the right nor left nor in
front of US is living foel There are
corpses around us which have been
struck by three, four, and even six
bullets, and nowhere on this acre OF
| ground is a wounded man. The wheels
of the guns cannot move until the

not pass from caisson to gun without
climbing over,windrows of dead. Every
gun and wheel is smeared with blood /;
every foot of grass has its horrible
stain.

But the Americans, meantime, from
their elevation, were able to pick of
nearly every red-coat who showed his
head on the gunboats below.
When the British became thorouqhly
convinced that there was no use trying
70 reach higher than the perpendicular
banks with their cannon balls. thew
moved out into the lake and retraced at
evening their mornings course as far as
the -Four Brothers Island, whore they
spent the night in burying their dead.
The latter fact has been verified by
the finding OF graves upon these barren
islands
Years after this episode, many of the
cannon balls were dug out Of the Bou-
quet's bank and used by the settlers for
the purpose Of grinding paint.
But the folly connected with that Sep
TENDER days history has not yet ended,
for there has ever since been a local SUI
perstition that the British that morning
buried valuable treasures on the fats at
the mouth of the Bouquet, and to this
day parties come by night and dig for
British gold-whether with good or i'll
luck, who shall say?
Perhaps this tradition, together with
the wild and matchless beauty of the
scene, may account for the fact that it is
favorite- camping ground for Rypsies.

iaYhaWking

in Ireland that we call the jayhawk; il
worries its prey before devouring it,
and jayhawking is a good name for the
business I've been in"
This is the accredited origin of the
term, but it soon became applied to
the raids made by Captain Jennison
and Captain James Montgomery
against the Border Rufians" from
Missouri. When the war broke out
Captain Jennison rendered the services
of his six hundred "jayhawkers" to the
United States Government for duty in
the field against the Confederates.
Shortly afterwards the Seventh
Kansas Cavalry was organized, with
Colonel Jennison in command, and as
Jennison's Jayhawkers they were
known throughout the entire war. The
name, however, was not confined to
Jennison's men alone, for it got to be a
general appellation for all Kansas
troops; but the distinctive right to the
title was unquestionab1y vested in the
Seventh Kansas Cavalry.
1t is mistaken idea, nevertheless,
that the Seventh Kansas were greater
adopts in the art of foraging or jay
hawking than other Kansas regiments,
or than many regiments from other
States. Our regiment was brigaded
with the Seventh Kansas Cavalry for a
time, and, while I must acknowledge
that they were about as slick as ice in
foraging on the enemy, must also
give them credit for being a brave,
wel-behaVed, whole-souled lot of fell
lows, and not the wholesale purloiners
of everything movable that they have
been generally considered.
Later on our regiment had the mis-
fortune to be encamped near another
Kansas regiment-the Sixteenth Kan
sas Cavalry, believe it was. This
regiment was composed very largely
Of half-breed Indians, and they did not
scruple to jayhawk from friend or
foe-Union or Confederate.
Several of our horses were stolen
from the picket line the first night
after we were introduced to the Six
teenth Kansas, and, strongly suspect
ing them of the theft, we took look
over their outfit. 1t was apparent that
they had more horses than they needed
in their business, and equally apparent
that they had some of our horses; but
it was utterly impossible to prove
property, for names and tails had been
clipped and distinguishing marks Job
liberated by the stain of eIderberry
juice, both on their horses and on our
own.
When these haIf-breeds were mus
tered out of the service, they were not
satisfied with the amount of pay they
received, and so they laid In ambush

for food and forage for themselves and
horses. The farmer demonstrated with
the Colonel in command, claiming that
he had already been foraged upon un-
til he had scarcely enough left for his
own use, but in spite of his protesta-
tons the troops helped themselves to
everything in sight.

OVER MOUNTAINS BAREFOOT.

Those who imagine that the progress
of the enfranchisement and the eman-
cipation of woman will deprive the sex
of the charm which adds so much zest
and stimulus to life found little coun-
tenance at Leeds, where, says the
ReUtelU of ReUielDs, one of the features
of the congress was the brilliant sue
cess achieved by Miss Dowie in the
geographical section. Miss Meme Mu-
riel Dowie, a granddaughter of Robert
Chambers, read a paper describing her
journeyings in the Carpathians. This
young lady travelled alone in these
out-of-the-way regions, bestriding a
mountain pony in all the glory of
skirtless knickerbockers, walking the
mountains barefoot and roughing it on
RATS. Returning home, she read an
account of her adventures before the
Parliament of Science. @How I'M
womanly" most people would have
said ten years ago; but to-day even
Mrs. Grundy does not cry shame, and
every one present, from the President
downward, declared that mo more de-
Gghtful paper had ever been heard,
and that geographically it was of great
value" Miss Dowie. who is a member

thousands of people, seeminly uncon-
scious of what he was doing, murmur-
ing some monotonous salutation as
they went by, his eye dim, his thoughts
far withdrawn; then suddenly he
would see some familiar face-his
memory of faces was very good-and
his eye would brighten and his whole
form would grow attentive; he
would greet the visitor with q
hearty grasp and ringing
word and dismiss him with a
CHEEKY laugh that would fill the Blue
Room with infectious good nature.
Many people armed themselves with
an appropriate speech to be delivered
on these occasions, but unless it was
compressed into the smallest possible
space itnever got utterance; the crowd
would jostle the peroration out of
shape. If it were brief enough and hit
the Presidents fancy, it generally re-
ceived a swift answer. One night an
elderly gentleman from Buffalo said:
"Up our way we believe in God and
Abraham Lincoln" to which the Presi-
dent replied, showing along the line,
MY friend, you are more than half
right. Century.

not dodge. There goes one to the
earth, shot through the head as he
sponged his gun. That machinery
loses just one belt, misses just one cog
in the wheels, and then works away
again as before.
Every gun is using short-fuse shell.
The ground shakes and trembles, the
roar Shuts out all sound from line
three miles long, and the shells go
shrieking into the swamp to cut trees
off, to NOW great gaps in the bushes,
hunt out and shatter and mangle men
until their corpses cannot be recog-
nized as human. You would think a
tornado was bowling through the for
est followed by pillows of fire, and yet
men live through it, aye, press forward
to capture the battery. We can hear
their shouts as they form to rush.
Now the shells are changed for
grape and canister, and guns are fired
so fast all reports blend into one
mighty roar. The shrek of shell Is

rand of spirits which the still pro-

duced.
By the time the rounds of the dis
tillery had been completed there was a
warmth Of cordiality established between
the British officers and the leading citi-
Zens Of WillsborOugh that would not
permit the former to refuse the hospi-
tality of the latter, and the rank and
file Of the victors sat down with Mr.
Highly to as sumptuOus a spread, espe-
ctally in point of liquid refreshments, as
war-worn seamen ever looked upon-at
least in the land of the enemy.
The royal family, the royal feet and
the royal feast were all toasted, with
variations, in the strongest of strong
liquor.
Whether it was the temperatures
OF the host or some movement
outside that aroused the suspi-
cion Of the commander is not known,
but certain it is that something
suddenly brought him to his senses, and
he began the hopeless task of trying to
arouse his subOrdinates to the same con-
dition.
While the distiller had been feasting
the British and muddling their heads
with his strong brandy and whisky, the
militia had been secretly summoned from
miles up and down the thickly settled
valley.
The heads and legs of the seamen
were capable of only the discretionary
part Of valor, and made for their galleys
amid the whistle of musket balls.
The galleys went down the river much
faster than they came up, and conse-
quently outstripped the body Of militia,
which followed them along the banks as
rapidly as possible.
By the time the galleys had nearly
reached the mouth of the river they had
put sufficient distance between them and
their pursuers to allow them to draw
ashore long enough to pillage and plum
der the Fairchild homestead, whose own
er had forsaken it.
As the galleys drew up to the gun
boats, and the seamen were about to
board the latter, volley of balls was
rained upon them from the top of the
high and sheltered banks on either side.
By the time that such of the British
as had not been shot were aboard the

gunboats the banks fairly swarmed with
militiamen.
But the sober seamen who had re-
manned in the harbor though that about
one broadsjde from each war-ship would
make the militia scatter like pack of
schOolboys.
As the command passed along to train
the cannon upon the land-lubbers along
the top of Bouquets iower-fringed bank
the mouth of each cannon was elevated
to its utmost, and the signal to fire was
given. As one broadside woke the val
ley with its thunder, and the smoke
cleared away, the British found their
chargin over the events of the night and
the morning turned to desperation, for
their broadsid0s had been received by
the steep sides of the banks without in
jury to anyone.
In vain they tried to tilt their cannon
to an angle high enough to reach the
plain at the tops of the banks, where
the Americans stood 1t could not be

he had about two hours to live, and he
answered feebly but firmly: Every

A few moments before he died, he
cried out in his delirium "Order A. P.

infantry to the front rapidly. Tell

leaving the sentence unfinished.
Presently smile of ineffabIe sweet

and then he said quietly and with an

or the least struggle, his spirit passed.
