CHAPTER /.
NO MANS LAND.

It was the twentieth of August, eight
cen hundred and sixty-two. Corinth had
been evacuated more than two months
before: The Army of the Ohio had moved
eastward into northern Alabama. The
president and eminent Union generals
were anxious as to east Tennessee, where,
it was rumored, the Confederates were
preparing for some new move.
High in the Cumberland mountains
soldier in the blue and yellow uniform
Of private of cavalry sat on his horse,
hooking down on the valleys Of the Sc
quatchie and the Tennessee. A carbine
was slung over his shoulder; Colts re-
volver was at his hip. He was long and
1.-the and graceful. About him was an
air OF refinement seldom found under q
private's uniform except during that
war which called out men from all
classes, both in the north and in the
south. His hair was light; his blue eye
was restless and denoted its possessor
to be man Of great mental and phys
ical activity.
While there was something statuesque
in the appearance Of the man and the
horse, they presented marked contrast,
accoutered as they were for war, with
the peaceful scenes before them and
about them. Not sound was to be
heard up there in the mountains, except
such as came from the insects or the
birds. The equestrian figure mounted
on its lofty pedestal was the personisca-
ton of war in solitude.

CHAPTER ILL.
A CONFEDERATE HOUSEHOLD.

"Havc you come tar7" asked the 0tr'.
Mark and Jakey trudged on. They
met no one on the way, but at one part
of the road running through thick
wood they saw light in the distance
to the right in the thickest part. They
halted for moment and then advanced
cautiously. Coming to place where
they could get a view of what the light
revealed, they saw several men in "but-
ternut," whose horses were picketed
near by, lying around the embers of fire.
"Guerrillas," quoth Mark.
Not caring to disturb these villains,
who had no more respect for Confed-
crates than Unionists, they passed on
stealthily.
About midnight they came to rivu-
let, and Mark concluded to bivouac
there. They turned in among the trees
beside the road.
"Jakey," said Mark, 'before we 90 a
step farther, or do anything in fact, we
must fix this money"
He pulled his roll of bills from his
pocket.
take off your boot" he said.
Jakey pulled off his boot and handed it
to his companion. Mark took number
of bills, and ripping out the lining of tho
boot put it back in its place with the
bills under it. Smoothing it down, he
handed the boot back to Jakey and told
him to put it Oh again.
They took bite of the snack Souri, had
prepared for them and drank from the
rivulet. Then they laid down, resting
their heads against the root of tree. 1t
was not long before Jakey was asleep,
and Mark drew his head over toward
himself and laid it against his own
breast. Thus the two rested Mark
slept at intervals; Jakey with all the
soundness of healthy, irresponsible boy
hood.
The moon was setting, and Mark
caught IL glimpse of it between the
lower branches of the trees and the horl-
zon. When he cast his eyes upward he
saw the stars. He fell to musing upon
his singular position. He remembered
that far to the north of him Confederate
cavalry were dashing hither and thither,
attacking bridges, capturing the guards,
threatening Union pickets and i'll every
way harassing the Army of the Ohio.
Yet here he was beyond the Union
front, in region which belonged to no
one save the outlaw guerrllas-ruled

pumped up a pail of water, filled the
woodbox, and then we all went to
bed"
"Father called me at 4.3O in the
morning, and while he was getting a
cup of coffee, 1 skipped over to the
depot cross-lots and got my best brass
rod. Father took nothing but TROLL
ing line and spoon hook. He rowed
the boat with the trolling line in his
mouth, while I stock in the stern with
a silver sinner rugged on. Now, John,
I never saw man catch fish as ne
did. To make long story short, he
caught four bass and five pickerel, and
I never got bite"
"At noon we went ashore and father
went home, while went to the post
Office. I got letter from Chicago
with a check for $1,000 in it. With
some trouble I got it cashed, getting
paid in $5 and $40 bills, making quite
o roll. I then got roast joint of
beef and lot of delicacies, and had
them sent home. After that I went
visiting among my old school-mates
for two hours and then went home.
The joint was in the oven. Mother
had put on her only silk dress and
father had donned his Sunday-go-to-
meeting clothes, none too good, either.
This is where played joke on the
old folks. Mother was in the kitchen
watching the roast. Father was out
to the barn and 1 had a clear coast.
I dumped the sugar out of the old
blue bowl, put the thousand dollars in
it and placed the cover on again. AT
last supper was ready. Father asked
blessing over it, and he actually
trembled when he stuck his knife in
the roast"
awe haven't had piece of meat
like that is in five years, Jim,' he said,
and mother put in with, And we have
not had any coffee in q year, only when
we went visiting
"Then she poured out the coffee
and lifted the cover of the sugar bowl,
asking as she did so,' How many
spoonfuls, Jimmy?"
"Then she struck something that
wasn't sugar. She picked up the bowl
and peered into it. AHA, Master
Jimmy, playin' your old tricks on your
nanny, eh? Well, boys will be boys
"Then she gasped for breath. She
saw it was money. She looked at me,
then at father, and then with trembling
fingers drew the great roll of bills out.
cha! ha! ha! I can see father now
as he stood there then on tiptoe, with
his knife in one hand, fork in the
other, and his eyes fairly bulging out
of his head. But it was too much
for mother. She raised her eyes to
heaven and slowly said, Put your
trust in the Lord, for he will provide"
"Then she tainted away. Well, John,
there's not much more to tell. We
threw water in her face and brought
her to, and then we demolished that
dinner, mother all the time saying,
MY boy, Jimmy! My boy, Jimmy =
81 stayed home o month. l fixed
up the place, paid off all the debts, had
O good time and came back to New
York. l am going to send $50 home
every week. 1 tell you, John, it's
mighty nice to have a home"
John was looking steadily at the
head of his cane. When he spoke, he
took Jim by the hand and said: "Jim,
old friend, what you have told me has
affected me greatly. haven't heard
from my home way up in Maine for
ten years. I'm going home tomorrow"

them both he knew that she came to
have look at them. Fortunately for
him, the darkness prevented her getting
q good view of him. Mark at once COM
menced to probe mothers heart by
dwelling on the tired condition Of little
Jakey, and kept it up till the lady was
quite unwilling to send the boy to sleep
in the barn. She inwardly resolved that
the child should have comfortable bed.
Jakey ate hearty supper-the heart
ier for the delay-and the two wayfarers
were shown up stairs to large room
with big bed in it. A few sticks were
lighted on the hearth to dry the damp
ness, for the room had been long unused,
and there was general air of comfort.
Jakey, who had never seen such luxury,
rolled his little eyes about and won
dered. But he was too tired to waste
much time in admiration. He was soon
in bed and asleep.

louder, dreading every moment that
either one of their horses might give the
signal that would lead to their discovery.
There were evidently not less than half
q dozen of the horsemen on the road,
altogether too many for one man, even
if we'll armed, to meet.
The men rode up to the fork of the
road, where they reined in their horses
for a parley. It was question doubt
less which road the Yankee soldier had
taken. Presently they divided, one party
taking the left hand road to Tracy
City, the other the road leading up the
valley.
AS soon as they were gone Mark took
the girls hand and gave it a grateful
pressure:
"God bless you, my girl; you've saved
me from capture or being shot in the
back-shot, expect"
The girl shuddered. She knew well
enough the fate he would have met If
his pursuers had overtaken him. They
would have come upon him warily and
shot him from behind tree. When the
sounds from the retreating horsemen had
died away In the distance she said:
"Come!

A THREE THOUSAND FooT WELL.
An artesian we'll over 5000 feet deep
has recently been bored at Galveston,
Texas. The water supply of that city
is furnished by thirteen artesian wells
varying in depth from 1926 to 1850
feet. The water obtained from this
source, while being of good quality
for fire and manufacturing purposes,
is totally unfit for drinking and do
mestic uses. In view of this fact, it
was decided that the city was justified
in the investment of $4,000 in an at
tempt to obtain a good water supply,
and therefore the artesian we'll was
bored. The first 81 feet of the we'll
consists of a % inch casing. Inside of
this Is inch pipe extends to depth
of $40 feet. Next a ~ inch pipe ex-
tends to q depth of 1900 feet. A 9
inch pipe was then inserted to depth
of 2,263 feet, and from this depth a
5 inch pipe extends to q depth of 3,07O
feet 9 inches. No rock whatever was
penetrated in reaching this depth and
the water supply sought for was not
obtained. Further work has been
abandoned, and the hope of obtaining
a flow of fresh water on the island
given up. Wells will be sunk on the
mainland fourteen miles from the city,
and water brought across the bay by
means of iron pipes. The estimated
cost for this work is $500, 000.-Scien-
tific American.

He turned to move away, when,
quick as flash, the black-bearded
man sprang to his feet, drew revol-
YER, and fired at the retreating figure.
"Iook out W shouted some one in
the crowd who had observed the move
ment. The man gave start and q
half turn, and the motion saved his
life, for the bullet grazed his head and
tossed lock of his thick hair into the

could recover, the other shot. The
bullet crashed through the gamblers

next day, but at the first opportunity I
wrote and asked for information con-
cerning the outcome of this little epi-
sode, and "what they had done with
the murderer r?"
"Why, you poor tenderfoot," my
friend wrote back, "you wouldn't call
that murder, would you? In the first
place, the man would have been justi-
fed in shooting, under any circum-
stances, for the other had robbed him
of q mine in Mexico. And, secondly,
the black bearded coward shot first,
and when his adversary's back was
turned, and deserved what he got in
return for that alone. What did they
do with the "murderer ?" They gave
him the dead mans winnings in the

CdANGE Of UNlcOEnA.
The soldier followed her, leading his
horse, till they came upon her own pony
tied to sapling. Mark offered to help
her mount, but she was not used to such
civility, and leading her horse to the
trunk of a fallen tree mounted by her.

Crossing the road the two entered q
wood on the other side. The girl kept a
straight course till she came to creek,
which she forded below and near log
that had been felled across it to be used
for footbridge. On the farther side
she struck an old road, abandoned, at
least, for wheels. Mark rode up along
side of her. She was wild looking
thing, with hardly trace of civilization
about her except her calico dress and
cowhide shoes.
"Where are you taking me tor asked

How TO PUT IT.-An exchange has
the following, which is the whole
truth. Did you ever think of it?
Suppose every business man in the
town took as much interest in the
upbuilding of the town as the news
paper man. He works for the rail-
roads, manufactures, schools, church.
es, good streets, better roads and a
hundred and one other things for the
general good; he urges, pleads, scolds,
badgers and cavorts around generally
until he gets what he sets out for.
Imagine his feelings, then, when some
lame, spring haulted kind of fellow
reproaches him because he doscn't
boom things enough, and nine times
out of ten that same fellow has never
paid one cent toward supporting the
paper, and the paper he reads with
marked regularity is either borrowed
from his next door neighbor or picked
up from the counter in the store at
which he trades.

THE TALLEST WOMAN IN THE WORLD.

The Universal hotel, No. rs Clark
son street has the distinction of enter
tanning the tallest woman in the world.
Aama Bataillard is her name and she
is only sixteen years and three months
old. She measures Z feet 10 inches in
height.
Aama came to America on the Etru-
ria, and arrived Sunday in New York.
She will proceed shortly to Chicago,
where she will 60 on exhibition. Aama
is considerably inconvenienced by her
abnormal stature. She has to 60 glove
less because of the dimensions of her
hands are 6x12 inches. Accurate
measurements show that her feet are
16 inches long. What is still worse,
the doctors haveprophesied that Aama
may grow a foot or more before she
natures. She rested comfortably
while crossing the ocean by means of
the function of two double beds. The
steward of the steamship pronounced
her huge feeder, which is consistent
with Aama's proportions.
The young woman's height is not
hereditary. Her parents measure B
feet 6 inches and feet inches re-
spectively, and none of Aama's ances-
tors are known to have attained to her
distinguished attitude. AS a child
Aama was unusually bulky. She
grew up in rural town near the bor-
der of France and Switzerland, and
spent her youth in field labor. She
speaks only French dialect. She is
q blonde having scant yellow locks.
No scientific reason has ever been
assigned for Aama's unusual develop
ment. She weighs 21O French pounds,
but has not yet been on American
scales. Aama has energy proportion
ed to her size. She can walk miles at
time and lift very heavy weights.
She is not an expert at sparring or
athletic arts much to the satisfaction of
heracquaintances. One is impressed
with the dignity of Aama's presence, if
she only stands and gazes in an impress
sive way at the liliputians about her.

AN ERROR IN THE LORDS PRAYER.
A party of gentlemen were the other
evening discussing literary subjects
when one was asked to point out the
grammatical blundcr in the Lords
prayer. Half Il dozen tried; some
thought it lay in the words, (which
art in heaven" others placed it else
where, but no one detected it in the
expression, "For thine is the kingdom
and the power and the glory" TO be
perfectly correct the word "is" should
be care" but people have used it in
the present form so long that they
never think of regarding it as a blunder.
There are teachers who say such an ex-
preston is right, because it sounds
right; but reverse it and say, "The
kingdom; the power and the glory is
thine" and the fault is soon perceived.
