MARYLAND CINE LAWS,
The Law Allows Cunning for Partridge
and Rabbits After November LIST,


At the last session of the MARYLAND
Legislature there were several changes
made in the cunning laws of the State.
article 80, section -, of the State laws,
was repealed and re,enactcd with amend
ments. Under the new laws the season
for shooting rabbits and partridgcs be-
gins November LIST and continues until
December Gath. Before being amended
the law permitted the shooting of rab.
bits from October 18th to January 18th,
and partrldges from November LIST to
February LIST. There was Topographic
cal error in the law relating to part
ridges, the law in reality extending
only to january 1st, instead of Febru,
airy lst. These changes apply only to
tho general State laws, which arc sccon-
Diary to the local game laws in the
counties. The penalties are the same,
but the period allowed for shooting
varies in the different counties.

who had been called lived seven miles
away, and the old man had frequently
to ride back and forth over a highway
on which very few farmers had located.
On one of these excursions, and when
within a mile of home on his return trip,
he caught sight of a man and woman as
they moved out of the road and disap-
peared in a thicket. He was close
enough to be satisfied that the woman
was Mrs. Baxter, and that the man was
a Confederate officer, and their anxiety
to avoid him aroused all his suspicious.
He intended to communicate with Miss
Marian at once, but circumstances pre-
vented, and next day the household was
surprised by a call from Captain WyIe
and his cavalry company. He stated
that he was on detached duty in that
neighborhood.
While the captain had been given to
understand that his suit was hopeless,
and while Marian fully realized that
he had done and was still doing all in
his power to degrade and disgrace the
man she had accepted, she nevertheless
felt that it was policy to receive him
~courteously and shun anything that
might lead to arousing a new feeling of
enmity against Kenton. On his part
the captain was careful to say nothing
that might wound or offend, and his
hours visit was therefore a very agree
able enc. He extended his sympathies,
offered to do anything in his power to
relieve their anxieties and rode away
with a smile of satisfaction on his face.
He argued that Marian was wavering
in her faith in Kenton, and that time
and circumstance would bring about
the change he desired.
Mans most frequent boast is hat he
can read and understand woman, and
yet it is in that he is oftenest deceived.
Few women can read and understand
themselves.
During the captains visit Marian
had been forced to notice the demeanor
ct Mrs. Baxter. She seemed transformed
into a new being-smiling, laughing
and appearing to be full of joy ove
something. When the visitor had de-
pdIteu, size WAS lulsOIue Ill his PRAISE.
and for the first time since coming TO
the Percys' she betrayed her real state
of feeling. She was an ally of the cap
tain's. Why? After puzzling for a
time Marian asked:
did Captain Wyle bring you news
of your husband?"
"Yes'm. Ike has got back to Win
chester, along with the others. The
Yankees got afeared that Ike would
break loose and do awful damage, and
so they let him go"
; He was wounded, wasn't he2"
"Yes'm, and he un won't be fifteen
to go back to the army fur some weeks
VT. When he I'm does, he'll hev a crit
ter and a sword and ride around with
Captain Wyle.'
Perhaps they'll make him an officer
for his bravery"
He un deserves it, fur suah-of
co'se him doesl'' replied Mrs. Baxter,
with a good deal of vigor. "If it
wasn't fur that emery Yankee"-
do you mean Mr.. Kenton?" asked
Marian as the woman caught herself.
Il dun forget.e' she stammered.
"Thar's bin so much fussin bout war

agreeable one.
that I'm talkin bout Yankees half the
time. Yes, | hope they'll make Ike an
ossifer right away"
She excused herself and was hasten
ing away when Marian detained her to
ask:
Mrs. Baxter, has there ever been
any trouble between your husband and
Mr.. Kenton?"
IL Jest can't d~eclar'!"
But you feel bitter toward Mr.. Ken
ton. Will you tell me whyg"
why, he un stands in Ike's way, and
| orter feel haldwise, hadn't II"
Il can't understand how he stands in
likes way"
Nor | either, but that's what Ike
says, and that's what Captain Wyle
says, and him jest orter be driv' over
into the Yankee army whar he belongs!
He un's a spy, Miss Percy, a regular
Yankee spy, and him's mean as pizen,
and somebody orte1 shoot him, and Cap
tain Wyle says"--
But she checked herself again. Her
feelings had been aroused, and she had
said far more than she intended. She
was half laughing, half crying as she
begged Marian pardon and withdrew.
Now Marian knew why Mrs. Baxter
had com to her. She had a suspicion
as to the flight of her servants. The
queer actions spoken of by Uncle Ben
were now explained.
Il looked as if Captain Wyle and Mrs.
Baxter were eonspiring together, and
the object was very plain. For reasons
of his own the captain had aroused Mrs.
Baxter's enmity toward Kenton and
made Ike an enemy to be feared. There
was a complication which puzzled Ma
rian. and as the days went by she was
no wiser. If Uncle Ben made any new
discoveries, he kept them to himself,
and the mother was too i'll to be worried
over anything that could be kept from
her.
Three days after Captain Wyle's visit
there were a CHATTER of hoofs and a jan
gle of sabers, and the road vas alive
with Federal cavalry for miles. 1t was

They hacel beside the dead and search
each pocket.
ghoul steals away from the dying camp
fire into the darkness and skulks and
creeps and crawls about in search of
plunder. Every army has its human
hyenas. They may have fought brave
ly during the b. tile, but as night falls
and men cease their work of killing the
ghoulish instinct cannot be resisted.
They kneel beside the dead and search
each pocket. Their knees feel the earth
wet with blood. but they do not shrink.
Their hands touch gaping wounds and
are smeared with blood, but there is no
disgust. Whatever plumber they secure
is blood stained, but on tie morrow
they will wash away the stains.
"Here-this way-for Gods sake
give me water!"
1t is a wounded man who has heard
the ghoul moving about. No matter
whether he is a friend OF foe, he may
yield plumber. The ghoul bends over
him and begins a search. The wound
ed man may quietly submit, hoping at

to moisten his parched tongue and burn

strong fingers seize his throat and fasten
there until he is dead, or his own bay

And when the summer sun comes up
again a hundred burial parties will be
scattered along this front, and a thou
sand men will be busy digging the long
trenches into which the dead are to be
heaped. There will be no time wasted.
The dead will be picked up as fast as
possible and dragged or carried to the
trenches. No one will ask their names,
no one search their pockets. Side by
side, like sticks of wood, heads all one
way, and then a covering of dirt is be-
grudgingly given. Years later the
trenches hidden by brier and bush will
be opened, and the bones lifted out to
be carried to the spot where a single
monument must serve TO cherish the
memory of thousands.
