termined by the attending physician.
She wished to alight from an electric car. on
which she was riding, at the corner OF Ellis and
Larkin streets. and as the conductor was in
conversation with the motor man on the front
OF the ear a passenger gave the signal TO stop.
From his position on tile car the conductor
could not observe whether Mrs. Rosenthal had
alighed or not and gave The signal to start toe
quickly, throwing her with violence 10 the
ground. She was conveyed into an adjacent
drugstore insensiDle, and alter being partially
revived was taken home.
DR.. j. BluxOme, who is attending her, said
last night that it would be impossible TO ascer-
tain how badly Mrs. ROseEthai had been hurt
until she had recovered from the shock. While
he did not think there was any danger OF fatal
termination ne was somewhat apprehenSlve
lest his patients spine had been injured. She is
a very large lady, is not young, and suffers
great pain when moved even slightly.

ment he forgot his prisoner, and when
he had recovered from his excitement
over the discovery he no longer had a
prisoner. Kenton had walked off into
the darkness and made good his escape.
And now as the night drew OF apace
and the cold rain steadily beat down
upon the battlefield parties of men went
forth in search Of the wounded. They
cared not for the dead. At the front
there is but little sentiment Or sympa-
thy fer the wounded. They are cared for
because many of them will recover to
fight in some other battle. They were
found in the open fields, in the burrows
half full of water. in the deeper bitches
skirting the forest, among the trees and
bushes dripping with the rainfall.
Some cried out in the darkness with tt
broken voices of lost children; others
prayed or cursed or wept. And here
and there. with their faces buried in the
grass OF dirt or with faces upturned to
the SIX; of night and eyes half open,
were dead men, a thousand or more.
The morrow would do for them. The
dead of a battlefield ask nothing. The
living give them a covering of a few
inches of blood soaked soil, and give
that grudgingly.

CHAPTER XII.

As before stated, Ike Baxter belonged
to the class known at that time and
still referred to as "poor whites"
Through the efforts Of his wife he had
managed to hold onto small farm just
outside of Winchester, left him by his
father, but 1t is doubtful if her argu-
ments would have carried the day had
any n made a cash offer for the few
acres. While Ike always referred to
himself as broken down by hard work,
about FIVE days out of every week had
been spent tramping around the coun-
try with his gun OF discussing yam
KEGS" and .niggers'' in the village bar
rooms with others of his ilk. Accord
ing to his own line Of argument, hewas
a martyr. iii luck had always followed
him, even to the birth and death OF
triplets.

CHAPTER XII.

Panic does not always follow defeat.
Indeed it seldom does. A battle is a
checkerboard wherein all the spots are
marked with blood. The checkers are
men-men lying in reserve. men on the
battle lines, men charging on TANKS or
center.
The generals in command watch the
board. If one makes a move on the
right or left, the other seeks totake adj
vantage of it. For the time being they
shut their ears to the roar of battle.
shut their eyes to the sight Of dead and
wounded. Beauregard halted at the
threshold of victory at Shiloh. So with
Mcclellan at Antietam. At Freder-
icksburg Lee permitted Burnside to re-
treat aft r defeat. At Gettysburg Meade
did the same with Lee. Jackson had
thrown himself against Shields at
Kernstown on the right, on the left, on
the center. He could not break the line
anywhere. He left his dead along a front
OF a mile and a half, but the sacrifice was
in vain. 1t was military tactics to re-
treat-to fall back to a strong position
and oblige Shields to attack him or give
over his march up the valley. There is
sometimes more g~eneralship in a retreat
than in an advance or in ightinga bat
tie. The trains must be saved, the
broken and disorganized commands
picked up and reformed, the best troops
sent to the rear to stand as a bulwark
between the exhausted army and the en-
thusiastic enemy.
Jackson left nothing behind him-ar-
tillery, wagons or muskets-worth gath
ering up and reporting. Most OF his
wounded were carried up the valley as
he fell back. Shields followed slowly,
and the real guard had no fighting to
do. The panic Of an army, of an army
corps even, is a terrible sight, but the
panic of a town is something which no
one ian fifty describe. The news OF
Jackson's defeat preceded him, and
when he reached Winchester it was to
find a town wild with fear and crazed
by terror. War was young then. In
after years the old town changed hands
without a tremor, gathered up the dead
off its streets and buried them as part
of the regular programme.

"Then if 20 doan' pay him OFT |

rose up with a look of determination on
her face.
That's what Ike was waiting to hear.
He was now ready to develop the little
plan sketched out in Captain Wyle's
tent before leaving camp.

if yo' want to try" he finally said.

but he talked about yo'to Gineral Jack
son, and that s what hurts me mo- than
t'otherH
"How kin I fatten him out::" she
asked, ready to begin work at once.
Ike slowly lighted his pipe and sat
down on the doorstep and made room
for her beside him. He kept her wait
ing for another minute and then unfold
ed his plan. She listened patiently until
he was through and then pointed out
the obstacles here and there. He re-
viewed the case and explained how ev-
erything was to be overcome. Although
an ignorant woman, she had a good
deal Of natural shrewdness in her COM
position, and after the plan lad been
gone over in detail fer the third or
fourth time she said:
.'I'll try it anyhow. l hev allus dun

cy gal is jest too stuck up fur anything!

XIII.

Jackson retreated no farther tnan
Strasburg. Shields advanced no farther
than Winchester. Prisoners captured
during the first year of the war were
not held long. Within 80 days from
the battle of Kernstown those members
Of Captain Wyle's company who had
been taken prisoners were exchanged.
Ike Baxter was among them.
Two days after the battle Kenton had
reported to his company at Strasburg.
It was known that he was captured
with the others, and his truthful story
of his escape found no believers except
Steve Brayton. While the others de-
clared that his escape vas all arranged
for by his Yankee friends, Steve gave
him his hand and said:
Its gettin purity hot fur yo' around
yere, Kenton, 'cordin to what I see and
hear. If yo' could surround and cap
tur' a hull Yankee army and turn 1t
over to us, the boys would think yo' I'm
had some game to play. Reckon yo'
know whar it all starts from?"
81 think I do"
Cant no two fellers love the same
gal without sunthin Dustin sooner or
later. I kin jest shet my eyes and see
what the captain is layin fur. He un's
achin powerful bad to hev yo' killed off
or driv out or used up in some way. He
wouldn't hev minded if half of us had
bin wiped out down thar If yo'd bin
one of the dead"
Two or three days after Jackson
reached Strasbu1g Captain Wyle had an
interview with him. None of his own
company knew it, and what passed
could only be inferred from circum-
stances which developed later on. 1t
was announced that it had been decided
to reorganize the guards as a cavalry
company, and in the course Of a week
this change was effected, much to the
satisfaction of the men. Just as it was
finished Royal Kenton was ordered to
report to Jackson again. He found the
same stern, low spoken, plain looking
man and received the same quiet greet
ing. The general adverted to the brav-
cry of the guards at K~ernstown, n
then to Kenton's capture and escape
and asked for the details. The latter at
once realized that some T. who pro-
fessed to know all about it and who was
seeking his injury had reported to the
general. He, however, proceeded 10
give the particulars not only of his es-
cane and his efforts to rejoin his COM
mand, but of the charges brought
against him by Ike Baxter and the IN
terview with General Shields. This por-
ton of his adventure he had not spoken
of to any n on rejoining his company.
Jackson seemed to be thinking very Sc
riously as Kenton talked. The facts
lust related no doubt surprised him and
perhaps gave a different turn to affairs.
After awhile he said:
General Banks is pushing up the
valley with a large force. I wish you
to scout along his front and secure all
possible information Of value. Can you
set out at once?:"
within half an hour, SIR" was
Kenton's reply.
".And do you wish companion"
~ think I can do better alone, but
if you think two might do better than
one I shall"--
"Do as you think best, but report to

ef a Yankee deserts to our side and
fights agin yo' uns, what happens to he
IN il yo' captur' him
"He'd be shoti" was the blunt reply.
aBut s'posin he IN also played spy
fur our side::"
He'd be hung instead of shot: Do
you know Of such a case?"
"Reckon T do, and I feel it my docty
to tell yo' about him. Jist tell yo'r
gineral to inquar among the prisoners
fur a man named Kenton-Royal Ken
ton. He un's a Yankee deserter and a
spy fur Gineral Jackson!"
But why do you tell of it?' queried
the surgeon.
Cause it amt a fair deal"
Half an hour later Kenton was taken
before General Shields under the charge
made by Baxter. The latter had over-
reached himself. Had only the two
been captured it would have been a diff
ferent matter, but there were 20 of the
guards who gave testimony In favor OF
Kenton, though it came from NEST OF
them grudgingly. A search of his per
son brought to light a pass from Cen
eral Jackson in which he was mentioned
as a scout.
While you are cleared of the
charge, said the general after a long
examination, "how does it come about
that you, a northern man. are found IN
fha C~onfederafe rankS3''
sI enlisted in the cause of Virginia,
my adopted state, was the reply.
aBut the cause of Virginia was and
is unjust. She is guilty Of treason.
Every one of you under arms isa traitor
to the government. The principle is so
plain that no one need doubt"
tBut there are doubts, sir. A large
proportion of the northern people are
doubtful, and some Of the most infuen-
tia1 of the northern papers contend for
the right of secession.
The general could not gainsay that.
The government was rushing troops
into the field, and battles were being
fought, but the principle was still being
discussed, and men eminent as jurists,
statesmen and Journalists were still di-
Yided. Kenton was dismissed to be re-
turned to his fellow prisoners. Only
one guard accompanied him.
Half way between headquarters and
the spot where the prisoners were be-
ing held under guard they encoun-
tered two men bringing in q wounded
man on a stretcher. The victim proved
to be the guards brother. For a mo-
