GOOD WAR STORY.
"There is a good deal in that picture"
said my companion, as we paused in front
of large painting full Of intense, but
artistically toned color in one of the
smaller alcoves devoted to American art
at the worlds fair, writes a Chicago
Tribune man "Enneking' was thenarne
we saw signed in the corner of the can
vas before which we stood. Its catalogue
number is 405. The gray Quincy granite
rocks-it Is evidently painted from studies
made in that suburb Of BOston-are over
grown with the creeping ivy found grow
ing so luxuriantly in the woods and edges
of the pastures and open fields there
abouts, which are brilliant in reds and
yellOws; while the sky, SO red at the hori-
zon, fades into variety of yellow tints
toward the zenith.

tered the llfe-blOOd of the dying summer

because the vivid color of this autumnal
wood interior for the instant seemed
so congenial 10 an ihcarn8

reverted to an incident of the
artists life chat transpired nearly thirty
years aEO-aftcr one of the battles Of the
Virginia campaign.

tho Virginia campaign that John Euue-
king received severe wound in the leg.
It had been a terrible day and all the hos
pitfalls were crowded. Besides he had
been wounded in the edge of wood, and
was not discovered for several hours after
1he conflict and retreat of the enemy.
Meantime he stauuChed the flow of blood
by binding his handkerchief about his leg
and fell asleep afterward. He aWo1e
Few moments after they had discovered

to do with him.
1t was midsummer in Virginia and the
air outdoors was balmy, 50 he was left
where he was and a rude tent was raised
over him, where q surgeon came to see
him when he could do SO. Soon, hoWeV-
or. the unavoidable result of neglect was
apparent, and the surgeon declared that
his leg must be amputatcd. Euueking
kicked at this. They told him if amputa-
ton were lot performed, and at once, he
would probably lose his life as well as his
leg But he had smattering OF medical
knowledge, and positively refused to have
his leg cut Off. They left him to his fate,
telling him that the next day would ind
him beyond hope.
1t was late in the afternoon when the
surgeon left him, and no sooner was he
alone than he began 10 hitch down hill a
little way to where he had discovered

q long time 10 reach IT, which he finally
did after flaming several times at the
pain which moving caused his leg. Once
