is hard fighting at the front. D."
Jakey took the little girl by the hand
and led her away, while Maynard went
over to the south slope of the ridge to
see what was going on at the right.
Standing on all eminence, he looked
down on the contending lines toward
the south.
The sun was now standing midway
between the horizon and the meridian.
The day had thus far gone without any
especial advantage on either side. Find
ing the left strong, the Confederate com:
mander was massing troops on the right
of the line of blue. Maynard could see
them marching into position for gi-
gantic effort.
There was momentary lull in the
firing on the right, and Maynard thought
that from a distance he caught the
faintest sound of a church bell. 1t might
have been fancy, for congregations would
not be likely to meet near battleheld,
and the continued roar in the center and
left would likely have prevented a bell
being heard. At any rate, it suddenly
occurred to him that it was Sultlay
morning
Sunday morning! What a contrast
between that and other Sunday morn
ings he had passed. 1t was near II
O'Clock, the hour when people were as
sembling for worship, and he pictured
the neatly dressed throngs moving to
church while bells were ringing in the
belfrics. All over the broad land con-
gregations were assembling, unmindful
of the struggle that was going on at
Chickamauga.
The enemy were moving to the attack.
As Maynard glanced toward the Union
line to see if it was in condition he saw
a division face to the left and begin a

dreading the consequences that might
occur, the blame attending disobedi-
ence of orders, determined to burn the
bridge and march to the relief of COM
rades whom he OWNED were being hard
pressed. Gathering his principal officers
in a church near by, he announced to
them what he proposed to do The little
church, unused at that hour of that holy
id to anything more vigorous than
minister pounding the pulpit or the
stdhins of "Old Hundred, rang with
The asserting acclamations Of soldiers.
marching through fields of yellow
corn, guided only by distant but con-
tinuous roar, the division each moment
lessened tho distance between it and the
army whose fate hung OH its quick COM
ing. The direction taken led them to-
ward the north side of the horseshoe
and the rear of the Confederates. First
q small body of Confederate cavalry,
guarding q hospital, were met. These
were easily scattered, and the column
moved on. Striking the Chattanooga
road, the division marched on down it,
There were heights to the east, and on
these were guns. 1t was plain to the
gunners that the advancing column was
a rescuing column. They opened fire to
delay it. The Union troops did not heed
them. There was a more important
enemy-a more important work farther
on.
But they were marching directly in
rear of the Confederate line. Filing to
the right, through an orchard and open
fields beyond, they came to a point where
the dim outline of the troops engaged
could be seen through the overhanging
clouds Of smoke. The reserve halted in
a field between the two bent fanks-
the two heels of the horseshoe.

Jakey were ignorant cf their surround
ings a hundred yards distant, so they
munched their "hard tack" and swal-
lowed their coffee, quite willing to be
hidden from Confederate fire while they
were doing so. Meanwhile Jakey gave
his friend an account of his trip and
how he had arrived on the field at noon
the day before.
"How did you find me, Jakey?" ask
ed the hearer.
"Waal, I asst good many sojers, n
none of 'em knew whar y war. Bout
dark I heard one O. tn cavalry of tn
old brigade. our brigade, thet knew y.
He was a-tellin how y went with EN-
in charge. They all liked ter hev yer
do thet away. I asst him whar 1 mought
find y, n he reckoned he sor y goin
up this way. So I KEN n found y.
Thet's all. "
As he finished Maynard exclaimed:
"Look!"
The fog had suddenly lifted. They
were on a ridge which had been fortl-
fed during the night, the works resem-
bling horseshoe. Their position was
on the left side of the shoe and COM
manded view up the Chattanooga road,
which ran directly north from where
they were. There a short distance east
of the road and overlapping the Union
left the lifting mist revealed line of
Confederate gray. AS Maynard spoke,
with a shout they rushed forward and
took possession of the prize they had
been trying to grasp for two days. They
were between the Union army and Chat
tanooga.
Leaving Jakey where they were and
instructing him to stay there till he
should return, Maynard went down to
take a hand in the fight. He found a
dead soldier, whose musket and car
fridge box he seized, and pushing on to
the line of firing took position with an
infantry regiment. The enemy, unsup-
ported, were driven from the Chattanoo-
ga road to ridge near by, where they
halted and gave their pursuers a desper-
ate fight. Then the regiment to which
Maynard had allied himself was order
ed to another part of tho field, and he
went with them. Passing through a
thick fire of bullets, which wero mingled
with the larger missiles of cannon, he
encountered q sight that has seldom
been seen on the field of battle Crouch
ing under log was little girl about 8
years old, who, having got caught in
among the disputants, was right in the
midst of battlefield. Maynard never
forgot the contrast between the terrified
child and the unmerciful scenes sur
rounding her. Being q volunteer, he
was under no mans orders except as he
chose to obey them. Falling out Of the
ranks, he went to the child, took her up
in his arms, and while bullets pinged
about them and shells screeched above
them carried her to the rear, to where
he had left Jakey.
"Here, Jakey," he said, setting her
down by the boy, "it's time you have a
sweetheart, so I've brought you one.
She comes to you from the field of bat
tie and probably won't stand any non
sense. So you must treat her with proper
Difference.
"Golly!" exclaimed the boy, squar-
ing himself before the weeping girl,
with his hands in his pockets.
"Take her to that house down there
and wait till T come-that is, if ever
come, and if I don't tell my wife to

there are whose remarkable physical
nerve or in whom natural excltable
temperament gives them al appearance

most depressed just before they are well
in the fight.
While the line of blue climbs the
side of the ridge all is quiet above-a
quiet that brings suspense harder to

John Sherman'S Criticism of
Garfield and Other

MILWAUKEE, Oct. 2l.-To an Associ-
ated Press reporter. A. J. Aikens, Of
the Evening Wisconsin said:
Il attended the national Republican
convention that nominated James A.
Garfield for president i'll 1880, and was
present at all sessions. | heard all the
nominating speeches, and remember
particularly the speech of Mr.. Garfield
nominating John Sherman in behalf of
the Ohio delegation. The opening of this
speech was such that nc man who heard
it can forget it, not only the words but
of MIR. Garfield in the opening
of the speech indicating great zeal,
truthfulneSs and earneStnesS in his
nomination of Senator Sherman. There
was no sentence in any of the speeches
comparable in my idea TO the opening
sentence of that speech.
Taken Up by the Whirlwind.
The balloting went on from day to
day until the Both ballot, when Mr.. Gar
field was nominated with a whoop and
q hurrah, as everyone knows. The
night before his nomination l called
upon Mr.. Garfield with a view to secur-
ing his assent to accept
the nomination if rendered to
him. Mr.. Garfeld's manner i'll
rejecting all overtures could not be
mistaken by any man who heard such
an interview as | had with him. 1t is
due to the truth of history and the mem
orv of Mr.. Garfield that he made 10
trade or arrangement by which he
should receive hat nomination. He
was taken up by the whirlwind as
autumn leaves and carried into the
presidential chair

Throughout the West there are favor
