CHAPTER II.
ON THE CONFEDERATE SIDE.


Three men sat i'll gully that had
once been hillside ditch. Their uni
forms We're various, the results of acci
dent and capture One of them wore q
very fine blue overcoat which was i'll
queer contrast to his ragged pantaloons.
This was Lieutenant ClQptQn, who had
charge of the picket line, Another had
on the uniform of an artillcryman, and
his left arm was i'll sling. He had
come out of the hospital to do duty as a
guide. This was Private John Fam
brough. The third had on no uniform
at all, but was dressed i'll plain citizens
clothes, much the worse for wear. Tins
was Jack Fitzpatrick, scout and sharp
shooter-Happy Jack, as he was called.
How long since the gully had been a
ditch it would be impossible to say, but
it must have been good many years,
for the pines had grown into stout trees,
and here and there blackjack loomed
up vigorously.
"Don't git too permiscus around
here" said Happy Jack as the others
were moving about. '!This amt no fan
cy spot. - He eased himself upward on
his elbow and made a swift but care
full survey of the woodland vista that
led to the Federal lines. Then he shook
down the breech of his rifle and slipped
long cartridge into its place. "You
see that big poplar over yonder? Well,
under that tree there S q man, leastways
he ought to be there, because he's always
hangin around in front Of me. "
"Why don't you nail him?" asked
Fambrough.
"Bosh Why don't he nail me? It's
because he can't do it. Well. that S the
reason l don't nail him. You know
what happened yesterday, don't you?
You saw that e1egapt leokia chap that
came out to take my place, didn't you?
Did you see him when he went back?'
Lieutenant Clopton replied with a
little grimace, but Fambrough said new
er word. He only looked at Kilpat-
rick with inqairing eyes
"Why, he was the incest lookip man
in the army-hair cembed, clothes
brushed and rings on his fingers. He
was all the way from New leans, with
asilver mounted rifle and globe sight.
"a which," asked Fambrough.

Jack. "Eour heads too high. T says to

"What did be say?'' Eambrough ask

"He said, 'I'll git him. Now, how
did he git him? Why, he come down
here, lammed aloose time OF two, and

two years older than myself, made life
miserable for me in trying to boss me. "
"Oh p exclaimed o 'Halloran. "Don't
I know that same? 'Tis meself that's
been along there. -
Captain Somerville looked at the old
place, carefully noting the outward
changes, which were comparatively
few. He noted, too, with the eye OF
soldier, that when the impending con-
f1ict took place between the forces then
facing each other, there would be a
sharp struggle for the knoll on which
the house stood, and he thought it was
curious feat for his mind to perform,
to regard the old home where he had
been both happy and miserable as
strategic point of battle. Private O'Hal-
loran had no such memories to please or
to vex him. To the extent of his oppor-
tunities he was a man of business. He
took a piece of white cloth from his
pocket and hung it on the broken sap
ling.
"I'll see, sor, if yon chap is in the
grocery business. F"
AS he turned away there was puff
of smoke on the farther hill, a cracking
report, and the hanging cloth jumped
as though it were alive.
"Faith, it's him, sor!' exclaimed
O'Halloran, can he's in a mighty hur-
ry." Whereupon the big Irishman
brushed a pile of leaves from an oil
cloth strapped together in the semblance
of a knapsack.
'What have you there?" asked Cap
tain Somerville.
''Sure, 'tis me grocery store, sor.

amt the Mickey neither. I'll see what
he's up to-" He raised his rifle with a
light swinging movement, chirruped to
it as though it were a horse Or a little
child, and i'll another moment the dead
ly business of war would have been re-
sumed, but Fambrough laid his hand
on the sharpshooter' arm
"Wait,' he said. "That may be my
old man wandering around out there.
Don't be too quick on trigger. amt
got but one old man."
"Shucks!' exclaimed Fitzpatrick pet
tishly. "You reckon 1 don It know your
old man? He's big in the body an wab-
bly, in his legs. You've spilled mighty
purity shot. I believe in my soul that
chap was colonel, an he might "a been
a general. Now that's funny"
"What's funny?" asked Fambrough.
"Why, that chap. He'll never know
you saved him, an if he know'd it he
wouldn't thank you. I'd "a put a hole
right through his gizzard. Now he's be-
hind the poplar -
"It's luck" Lieutenant Clopton sug-
gested.
Maybe" said Fitzpatrick. "Yonder
he is agin. Luck won't save him this
time He raised his rifle, glanced
down the barrel and pulled the trigger.
simultaneously with the report an ex-
preston of disgust passed over his face,
and with an oath he struck the ground
with his fist.
"Don't tell me you missed him, :"
said Clopton.
"Miss what?" exclaimed Fitzpatrick
scornfully. eff he amt drunk, some
body pulled him out of the way"
81 told you it was luck, - commented
Clopton.
"Shucks don't tell me. Luck's like
lightnin. She never hits twice in the
same place. !"
Fitzpatrick sank back in the gully
and gave himself up to ruminating. He
leaned on his elbows and pulled up lit
tie tufts of grass and weeds growing
here and there. Lieutenant Clopton,
looking across toward the poplar, sud-
denly reached for the sharpshooter IS
rifle, but Fitzpatrick placed his hand on
it jealousy.
''Give me the gun. Yonder's Yank
in full view.'
Fitzpatrick, still holding his rife,
raised himself and looked,
"Why, he's hanging out flag Of
truce, said Clopton. "What does the
fellow mean:''
"It's a message said Fitzpatrick,
San here's the answer. - With that he
raised his rifle, dropped it gently in the
palm of his left hand and fired.
"You saw the hankcher jump. didn' Y

us out. That's my Mickey. He wants
tobacco, an l want coffee an tea. Come

Then Fitzpatrick went to q clump Of

containing several pounds of prepared
smoking tobacco and bundle of plug

were picking their way through the un-
derwood toward the open:

CHAPTER III,


Matters were getting critical for
Squire Fambrough. He had vowed and
declared that he would never be 2 ref1-
gee, but he had a responsibility on his
hands that he had not counted on.
That responsibility was his daughter
Julia, ss years old, and as obstinate as
her father. The squire had sent off his
sons wife and her children, together
with as many negroes as had refused to
go into the Union lines. He had ex-
pected his daughter to go at the same
time, but when the time arrived the
fair Julia showed that she had mind
of her own. She made no scene, she did
not go into Mysteries, but when every
thing was ready she asked her father if
he was going. He said he would follow
along after awhile. She called to ne
gro, and made him take her trunks and
bandboxes from the wagon and carry
them into the house, while Squire Fam
brough stood scratching his head.
"Why don't you make her conner"
his daughter -in-law asked, somewhat
sharply.
'lWell, Susapnah, = the squire re-
marked, ''I amt been jestice of the
peace an married man off an ON for
40 year without findin out when to fool
WI the wimen SEX an when not to fool
wi 'em."
"I'd make her come, " said the daugh-
ter-inl law.
81 give you lief, Susannah. freely an
fully. Lay Spur baby some'rs where it
won't git run over, an take off your sur
plus harness, an go an fetch her out of
the house an put her in the buggy"
But the daughter law treated the
courteous invitation with proper scorn,
and the small caravan moved off, leay-
ing the fair Julia and her father in pos
session of the premises. According to
human understandings the refugees got off
just in the nick of time. A day or two
afterward the Union army, fguratively
speaking, marched up, looked over
Squire Falnbroughis front palings, and
then fell back to reflect over the situa-
tion. Shortly afterward the Confederate
army marched PIP, looked over the
squire's back palings, and also fell back
to reflect. Evidently the situation was
one to justify reflection, for presently
both armies fell back still farther These
movements We're so courteous and dis
ereet-were such d colossal display Of
etiquette-that war seemed to be out of
the question. OF course there were the
conservative pickets, the thoughtful We
dettes and the careful sharpShooters,
ready TO occasion a little bloodshed, ac-
cidentally or Intentionally. But by far
the most boisterously ferocious append
ages of the two armies were the two
brass bands. They We're continually
challenging each other, beginning early
in the morning and ending late in the
afternoon, one firing off Dixie" and
the other yankee Doodle" 1t was
Yankee Doodle, howdy do?" and "Doo-
dle-doodle, Dixie, too" like two cham
ticleers challenging each other afar off.
This was the situation as it appeared

He Had no Ear for rIusic.

[ had in Tientsin a rather strange
experience with my secretary, a
japanese named Akiyama. He
was very intelligent indeed, well
educated, and could speak English
very tluently. One afternoon I was
confined to my bed by illness, and
the band began to play in the park
just opposite my windows. The
first thing they rendered was ola
Marseillaise."
"Well!'' l remarked, "here they
are playing the French national
hymn!"
Akiyama looked at me with
amazement, shook his head several
times, and then asked:
"How do you knqw2n
"Because,'' ! answered, rather
embarrassed, Etbecause l know, I
have heard it before"
The answer did not seem to
satisfy him.
A few minutes after, the band
struck up something from "Faust. "
"This," 1 said, ''is from a well
known opera"
Akiyama looked more amazed
than ever, and, shaking his head,
asked again,
'How do you knowa''
:Beeause, of course, | know the
opera"
"Oh!" said he, in very incredu,
lous manner.
AT last the band played "Home,
Sweet Home.n
"And now," said I, feeling very
happy, ''this is the music of very
popular American song"
'But, how can you tellG" ex-
claimed Akiyama.
because, L already told you, ]
know the music"
"Well," he remarked, it all
sounds alike to mel"
"Whatr | exclaimed, Eall
sounds alike? Don't you notice
the difference between La Mar
seillaise. Faust and Home, Sweet
Rome'2"
"No, sir, no difference at all; it
all sounds alike"
Strange as this may seem at first,
the explanation will be found in
the fact that the ears of these
people have not been trained to ap.
preciate our music, any more than
ours have to understand theirs. 1t
is all question of training. An
other very intelligent japanese told
me once that to his people, at first,
all foreigners looked alike. They
could not see any difference be-
tween them.-Demorest's Magazine

Those Tired of Light Fiction May

Sometimes the intelligent brain wearies
of the fairy realm of poesy and fiction, as
the healthy appetite of ''cakes and kick
shaws." 1t turns to substautials-solid
sources OF thought that will be fruitful
aud multiply in future action.
But in these workaday times the aver
age man and woman of intelligence have
little leisure or inclination to tackle Kant
or even Spencer. They are interested In
social problems, but are scared away by
the scientific GOODNESS and dry philosophy
of such writer's. Their study requires long
grounding and the use of expensive lie
brarles or sets of volumes.
When, therefore, a rare chance occurs to

House the resignation Of Representative
Painter from she Fifth Kentucky districi,
TO take effect when he assumes the duties
of Judge of the Court of Appeals.
On motion Of Hermann (R-) of Oregon
the bill was passed granting an increase in
pension to Hosea Brown, aged 1913, snryi-
yor of the War of 1872 and on motion of
Page CD OF Rhode Island the bill to
