way through JaKey's Jacket to get al
the skin. The boy tried to guide his
horse for awhile, but finally concluded
that Tom was far better qualified to
find his way than he was himself, and
dropping the reins on the pommel of
the saddle turned his undivided atten-
ton to keeping his seat. Every now
and then Tom would stop and look
about him, as much as to say, "Jakey,
1 don't like the looks O. things at all. -
But if Jakey understood him he made
no comment on the remark. He had
placed Tom in command and did not
propose to interfere.
just before morning. the darkness
grew thicker. Tom had for several
miles proved himself worthy of the con-
1dence reposed in him and kept the
road, but all of a sudden he brought I'D
against snake fence.
Jakey was discouraged. He knew
Tom had lost the road, and as for him
self he did not feel competent to find
it again. Bringing the horse sideways
to the fence, he slid off on to the top rail
and then down on to the ground. Hold
ing the reins and leading Tom-for he
dared not leave him, lest he might not
find him again-the boy CROPPED around
for awhile looking for the road. It was
Of no use. Go where he would, there
were only stumps and grass, every hol-
low being filled with water.
He thought Of lying down in fence
corner to sleep till morning. But he did
not like to do this, for fear that, once
asleep, he would not wake up till late
the next day, and then the southern
army might be away from Tullahoma,
with all its stores, and perhaps there
were great many other advantages
they would gain that caused Jakey, be-
ing good Union boy, to vince, though

CHAPTER V.
CARRYING THE NEWS


Had not Jakey Slack possessed a stout
heart he would have quailed atpushing
out in the middle Of a dark night on a
road of which he had no knowledge
and possessing the disadvantage of be-
ing occupied by neither Union nor Con-
federate troops Between the rain and the
artillery and the wagons, the roads we're
all cut to pieces: Water stood every
where, and often where the way passed
over depression in the ground it was
necessary to pass through small lagoons.
This in the daytime, when one might
keep the road by observing the fences,
when there were any, would not have
been so difficult, but overshadowed by
the great black wings of night there
was absolutely no guide save by feeling
undertook or an occasional glimmer
ahead indicating that the way lay
through an opening in the forest.
Tom foundered along at a very slow
pace. Jakey found it not only difficult
to keep him in the road, but impossible
to keep out Of mudholes when on it.
Now Toms fore legs would sink into a
soft spot and again would splash into a
deep rut, or one leg would be in the rut
while the other was on the higher
ground. Then he would founder, while
Jakey held on to the saddle with all his
strength to keep from being thrown off
by Tom Is writings All the while a
drilling rain was slowly working its

An Old Custom That Should
BE Perpetuated.
While the New Year s customs Of an
Dient times possess for us certain fas-
cination, we find still more interesting
the celebrations Of the present time.
The one that is most characteristic, most
truly American, is the old Knicker-:
booker custom Of making calls upon
New Years day, and it is to be hoped
that it will be long continued BY those
who care to encourage and sustain
whatever is distinctly national and
characteristic among us. It is true that
this custom belongs to time when
making calls had not become daily
business, pursued for want Of other oc-.
cupation by men and women Of leisure.
It is true that it belongs to a time when.
men were too busy to do much visiting
and gladly seized this annual opportu-
nifty Of looking up old friends and es-
pecially the busy wives and mothers
they had known as girls and recalling
and recounting the scenes and events Of
their youth.
This annual frightening Of the links
OF old friendships is the special function
OF New Years calls. The day is put to
very bad use when it is employed III q
mere effort to count up long list Of
names Of persons whom one may have
seen yesterday or the day before and.
who have no steady purpose to prevent
them from calling every day Of their
lives. .a
OF course one does not want to miss
ones intimates on such a day, but there
snot the same object in setting apart q
day for them. and that is the reason

The Custom of Making Gifts Prevails.
Holiday Street Scenes. ~.
On New Years day the Japanese
tradesmen send their customers small
offerings, usually of something in their
line of business. A grocer will give per-
haps pound Of sugar or little pack
age Of rice. Every present, large or
small, costly or inexpensive, is accom-
panied by little folded three cornered
paper d few inches in size. Sometimes
this is of crimson or gilt paper or some
times blue or silver, according to the
taste Of the sender. ~ i
The origin Of this custom is very an
cient and curious. In days of old piece
Of dried fish was sent with each gift,
but gradually people fell into vicious
habit of sending on the same piece Of
fish with the next present they sent
away, as if they received so many offer
ings they could not possibly eat all the
fish that came. Finally matters got to
such a pitch that gentleman could
frequently smell his present coming
around the corner So in order to do
away with this abuse these little pieces
Of paper were substituted.
Another custom that seems very
strange in our eyes is that of sending
presents of eatables, sweetmeats, mochi
or bean cake, etc. Such dainties are
sent in priceless bowls Of cloissone or
satsUma set on a lacquer tray. Over all
is thrown silk and gold embroidered
square of soft ribbed Grape, and the
messenger carries it through the street
held at arms length. The recipient eats
the contents, and without washing or
cleaning the bowl in any way returns
it and the cover with elaborate thanks.
The little shops, which look like dry
goods boxes set upon end, are filled with
gay toys, with dolls, kites and bits of
tinsel and dyed feathers made into tiny
ornaments for the ebony hair of the
brilliantly dressed, powdered and rouged
little girls.
Acrobats and street actors attract
crowds of not only children, but their
elders. Then there are Punch and
Judy shows, but Punch and Judy are
replaced by fabulous cats, badgers and
foxes, who play all sorts Of tricks upon
men and women. Conjurers and snake
charmers reap harvest, and the man
who makes and plays bamboo flutes
earns small fortune.
Every one from the little tots Of 6 or
z to grandams Of 60 or 70 plays bait
