CHAPTER Y.
WIDOWED.

It is morning. dim early morning, dawn
pink and pearl-co4ered above the houset6ps,
an odor of verdure, of lilacs, and acacias In
the fresh sweet air; and Kathleen wanders
up and down the Avenue GItalie, always
coming back to that house which has been
used as prison by Citizen Serizier Colonel

a royal flush is the highest hama in poker

Gen. John B. Gordon in his Louisville lee

One day while strolling over the field of re-

poor old fellow, but you don I need those
shoes; you are dead, now. and I'll Just take

In camp, and one Of the soldiers was called
on to pray.

OF a terrible battle and in an awful lot of
trouble We hope you will take a proper
view OF the matter and give US the victory"
In the midst of ba tie the general saw a
man running from a very close siUua ton.
w hat are you running for? demanded the
disguised general in a stern voice.
'Golly, gener !, said the fleeing man, I'm
runnln' because can I fly"
Gen. Gordon also told an interesting story
tore the last order that he ever sent to his
men. But, he added, humorousl7 :, Il had to
