A Reminder of War DAYS.

A story is told of Gen. Horatio G. King
that forcibly illustrates the horror of civil
war; says the New York Morning Aduer-
ttser. Gen. King was with Sheridan's
army while it was engaged in its terrible
mission of destroying the mills and
granaries of Northern Virginia What an
important part that order played in the re-
duotion to defeat Of the southern forces is
of course matter OF history. Capt. King,
as he was then, had been intimate during
his boyhood days with the young people Of
an old Virginia family that lived in Wash
ington prior to the war. The sons of that
family had all joined the southern side, and
one of the daughters had married a wealthy
planter In Loudoun county, Virginia. Gen.
King knew she lived somewhere in
the neighborhood of his headquarters and
decided to protect her if he could. But he
was wounded during a sharp fight and was
cared for in farm house on the old Alex
andria and Winchester turnpike. This farm
adioins the plantation of his old friend, but
while ne lay on his bed Of pain the barn.
burning went on all around him. He made
inquiries, but all to no purpose. Every mill
and farm was destroyed except on the farm
where he lay wounded. 1t was after the
war that he discovered that by sending an
aid half mile he could have saved thou
sands of dollars for his friend And she dis
covered long after ward that she might have
had the protection of his order. and would
have nursed him as If he were one of her
own brothers
