and put him to bed. That night when the
last of Hohson's men had gone. Byron and
the deserter went through the town and
finally called at the hotel TO see the injured
man. The Southerner. from his post
by the window. had seen the accident
and took lively interest In the poor fell
lows fate As they stood by the bedside or
the dying man, tears In their eyes at the
pathos of the sight, they were startled by
the entrance OF two Union soldiers They
to arrest the deserter Captain
Ullery had told his commanding officer
what Byron had told him. giving him all
the details except the name of the Will
Iamsburg boy who had assisted in the
matter. The two young fellows heard the
inquiries made by the soldiers W no told the
whole story, and then they manageo TO
leave the room by the rear door. Down
they went into the garden then over the
back fence and on through the darkness to
the friendly shelter of q wheat field, where
they lay all that night.
By this time Byron Williams was nearly
exhausted. For three nights he had not
closed his eyes co sleep. The first night he
had been rousing the home guards. telling
them OF MOrgans coming, the second night
he had guarded the horses of the confeder-
ate officers beneath his fathers roof. and
the third night no lay in the wheat field,
with his prOtege. trembling with anxiety.
When morning came he was too tired TO
think of the long journey of twenty-five
miles to Cincinnati, and SO two of his
and who bad met young Harris. and who
serter to Cincinnati. These young
men were +. A. Warden, now
an edit somewh here In Illinois. and Dr. 8.
5. Walker, still of Clermont county. They
took Harris 20 the Burn~t House. where
General burnside had his headquarters,
and left him. The odd part of the story is
that from that day to this Byron Williams
never has heard word from the man W HON
he aided TO desert and whose life he after
ward saved.
When in Washington recently he looked
over the naval records and found that ut
the time there was n w ar ship Sabine in the
service and that there was paymaster
named Harris. But what became of the
young man. whether he entered the Union
army. or where he went and what he did, is
mystery. Never even letter of thanks.
If this George Harris who b al this ad-
venture at Williamsburg is still living, this
article will recall To him the name of the
young man W no trusted in his honor and SO
bravoly aided him. At all events. IL will
serve to expand and explain one of the
statements of Gen. Basil Dukes history.
Bot IL is not surprising that NJ. Williams
treasures the romance of this tale and still
thinks that some day he will hear the So
guel TO it.

following letter will show.
Sporting Editor, JERSEY City Ne'cs;-
Since the formation of the Gaelic
League the Barrys and Shamrocks never
met until last Sunday, when the Snam-
rocks defeated the Barrvs by one goal.
Ihave since communicated with Presi-
dent Curry to give us return game,
which he declines to do. although Captain
Gallagher was fully satisfied 70
do so when I waited on on
him yesterday. He did his utmost 70
induce Curry to play the game, put Iaiien.
They claim the championship OF hudson
county, which we still dispute, and VIII
meet the Shamrocks at any time or place
they may designate. 1t was the Barrys
and not the Shamrocks that issued the
challenge for the last game. IL was nog
arranged until several committees naa
been sent to President Curry. who always
offered .some excuse. Before the gang
op Sunday they entered protest acalnsC
Thomas Fry, one of our team. and rather
than disappoint 1000 people who had
paid to see the game we did not allow
Fry to play. The Shamrocks had on
their team Captain Doegan of the Irish
Wanderers and three other AS
ISOLATION players from the West
Side Shamrocks. We are more than
anxious to play return game knowing
we can defeat them II President Curry
will deposit $3.50 with the Sporting Editor
we will deposit like amount, the entire
sum to be expended for suitable trophy
to be presented to the winning team.
