tensive grounds, parks and conventual
buildings formerly covered hundreds
OF acres, but which are now very much

The grounds surrounding the temple
are made a continuous festival place,

approach to these grounds is narrow

both sides by shops dealing entirely in
children's toys. Every conceivable OBJ

in this street, to the delight of thous-
ands of children who annually visit the
temple with their teachers and parents.
In the grounds are amusement booths

from wear. They were confined in a
tall coop so narrow that the birds
could not turn around on the percn

perch was about eight feet from the

CHAPTER XIV.
THE PRODIGAL SON RETURNS.

Ihb EhOAAHAh nORN ANAsAbhNos
The Stone river is a sluggish stream,
bordered by cedar-bralSes, which flows
with muddy waters through a swampy
country four miles from Murfreesboro.
On the 30th of December its placid
banks are bristling with the armed
men of two great forces-on its left,
Rosecrans with fifty thousand warriors;
on it's right, between IL and the city,
Bragg with as many more.
Rosecraus has said; 81 will mass my
strength on the left, and crush the
enemy's right"
Bragg has re-echoed the words; 81
will strike them on the right with my
left"
The dawn Of the 31st was wrapped In
dense fog and Bragg, eager to secure
the advantage of striking first, dashed
furiously on the Federal right, of which
two divisions fell back, losing their
guns and leaving many prisoners be-
hind. But Sheridan's brave fellows
stand like rock beaten by the waves:
and by this tremendous effort Rose
Grams is enabled to form his line afresh,
on which, from the cedar-brakes they
had won, the Confederates hurl them
selves with gallant reclSlessness. -Four
times they charge; four times they are
repulsed when the cry is, 'Brecken-
ridge comes with seven thousand men,
and twice again they rush to the at
tack, but Northern flrmness stands
the shock of Southern dash, and before
they can again reform, night in pity
draws mantle DER the scene.

The wounded man is borne tenderly

"Who is itP Who is itP'' ask several,
as the mournful cortege passes them.
"Colonel Fulton of the Fourth--shot
through the lungs" is the sad answer.
But Frank and his comrades have
another duty before them ere they can
lay their weary bones to rest on that
eventful night.

"No, no." came from score of
throats,
So they dug a grave and laid the hero
in it-a touching incident though his
only requiem was a salute fred by the
hands of his enemies. AT the head of the
grave they placed rough board, with
rudely-painted characters, which read;
