There is a way Of being abso-
lutely sure that the shoes you buy
are worth Mt least rs much as YOU
pay for them. You may not be
able to tell good leather from bad;
you may not know the difference
between a high grade shoe and
an article of rougher make, and
yet it is your own fault if you are
imposed upon. You cannot be
expected to detect those diff
ferences in material which make
such Il material difference, but
you can at least take the pre-
caution of making your purchases
where Misrepresentation are
never for a moment tolerated.
You will be more than pleased

oner preserved remarkable presence Of
mind, and, in relation to this, never got
rI'tled.
His story of his flight, aud subsequent
wanderings. was not quite so clear. He
was not at all positive as to why he left,
or as to why he remained away, or as to
his intentions in doing as he did.
He left the pump house about 10
O'Clock and started south. About noon
he passed Fenian's place and had a con
yersation with HIM; and in this respect he
corroborated the testimony of Fenian him
self. He took dinner at a ranch near
therr and then vent on. He got to Chick
W, oster's place about 10 O'Clock that
nj hit and slept there all night, He
re nembered nothing about the mirror
mich he had left there until he reached
Webster's, and there he discovered it
wrapped up in his coat. He left the
place next morning in company with
Webster and went to Fort Collins. He
first got shaved. and then went to a horse
sale. While in Collins he gave his name
as F~illebrown. While there he determined
to make up his mind and 20 to Denver
and consult Fisher about the matter and
ne started on Sunday morning. He
changed his mind about seeing Fisher and
concluded to come to Cheyenne and give
himself up. lie went to the Union depot,
but his courage again failed him, and he
went aud looked for work in the stock
yards And so he went through all the
story OF his wan1erings, as told by his
counsel in the opening statement, and as
tolG by him to Kelly and BelcheT.
On cross-examination, while quite posi-
tive as to the different facts involved IN
his flight, he was not at all certain as to
his motive in leaving. He was questioned
closely as to these, and seemed to be con-
siderably at sea. The cross-examination was
conducted in a mastery manner by Mr..
Davidson. He kept the defendant on the
stand for three hour, and thoroughly
probed everything related by him.

the exception Of one o. two witnesses.
closed the defense. and the prosecution
brought on their witnesses in rebuttal.
Some ten witnesses testified that Foulks
had a good reputation as a peaceable man;
three or four of them admitting. however,
that thev had heard of his having been in
fights. An attempt was then made, on
the part OF the defense. to impeach the
evidence given by Francis NJ. Matthews
as to Foulks reputation by showing that
Matthews himself had had a quarrel with
the deceased, and had threatened to whip
him, but the court ruled the testimony
out.
This closed the evidence, and the order

s'Maior Besant, let me congratulate
you. There is not a man in the regi-
ment who does not hail your promotion
with pleasure, to say nothing OF my
self. who have gained a step by your
good luck,'' cried the jovial Gregory,
grasping Franks hand with an en-
thusiastic energy that made him vince.
''But, what do you 1nean-are you
crazy, JACKIE" was the astonished de-
mand.
':Sane as a bench of judges! The
boys would hear of no mans name but
yours for the vacant post, and I'm glad
to say for once the popular cry was for
the right man i'll the right place, and
you are second~in command of the
Fighting Fourth. Won't that be
scrumptious news to write and tell your
sweetheart?''

Colonel, and as he's promised me a
jobation for being late at roll-call, I'll
spare him the pain OF an interview and

And when Colonel Hopkins, with a
smile Of delight in his honest eyes,
grasped Franks hand and wished him
joy in his preferment the young sol
der knew that the glorious bat i'm
probable news was true.
II can hardly believe it now, SIR he
stammered. ''What have l done to de-
serve such honor?''
''Your duty, Frank, a" was the simple
answer.
Not until the leafy month of June
did Rosecrans assume the aggressive,
presumably because he was deficient in
cavalry, and our young knight fretted
sorely because he could not use the
spurs he had won SO CALAMITY; but the
time at last arrived when he had no
cause to complain of inaction. 8
With sixty thousand men the Union
General advanced against Bragg, now
entrenched at Chattanooga, and sue
ceeded in maneuvering him out OF his
position early in September. Rosecrans'
extraordinary delay excited universal
criticism, especially after his splendid
record up to that date. Having seized
the city evacuated by the Confederates,
and supposing Bragg to be in full re-
treat for Alabama, he advanced his
whole force after him, but the Southern
commander had been reinforced, and,
being assured that Longstreet's corps
from Alabama was close at hand, re-
solved upon retaking Chattanooga,
which, as military position, was OF
vital consequence to either side. Both
armies had become much scattered over
the mountainous region; but on the
18th of September they were fairly con-
centrated upon the banks of the Chicka-
manga. or River of Death, " twelve miles
from the coveted city.
The battle opened on the 18th, and all
that day there was hot fighting, with no
pronounced result During the night
that followed Longstreet's corps arrived,
and he was given command of the Con-
federate left, Polk being assigned to
that Of the right, while opposing them
Thomas led the Union left, and Rose
Grams in person the right.

height The evening, though in Deem

rooms of the mansion must have been

the blinds and windows were flung up
to their utmost height, affording the

Bragg has re~echoed the words: 81

The dawn of the 31st was wrapped in
a dense fog: and Bragg, eager to secure
the advantage of striking FIRST, dashed
furiouslv 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 a 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 hulrl them

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 frmness stands
the shock Of Southern dash, and before
they can again reform, night in pity
draws mantle DER the scene.
On New Years day both armies rested
from the conflict.
On the I'd, Bragg made some demon

fully expected, sounded retreat. lie
soon learned to his cost. The Northern
General had made his position a
citadel, from which he could rally and
strike at any point, or break the fury of
his charging foe.
On this in vain the gallant Confed~

broken ranks discounted.
But now the men of Texas came with
rage that nothing seems to stay. In

more artistic talent than any of the other
of his kin. Though he is, of course,

millionaires do, devote himself heart

add to his already large store.
"He is man of rare cultivation and
of marked fondness for history and

of study. His two novels have been very
creditable, and display besides their
merit as fiction considerable historical
