highway on aud of, but without en-
countering any, one, and as the day
broke we sought the cover of thicket
and lay down 10 rest and sleep. 1t was
afternoon before any one awoke, and
then the first move was to look for
water. We socn found that, and then
the question of food came up Keeping
all together, we moved to the west,
knowing that we should come to plan
tation sooner or later. The best we
could do in the way Of weapons was for
each man to arm himself with club.
The highway was on our left as we
went forward, and we had proceeded
for about a mile when we broke out of
the cover of a thicket and found our
selves upon the road, which took a
turn there to avoid a hill It was only
q narrow road, and couple Of jumps
would have given US cover ON the other
side, but as we Lett the bushes we came
tace to face with soldier in Oonfeder-
ate npiform. He was sitting down on a
stone to rest and was without weapons
q any SORT Had the sold1sr remained
quiet a tragedy would have been avoid
Cd. At asst sight ot us hs sprang to bis
fest, and instead Of running away when
he recognized M as escaped prisoners,
which am surs he did, he called on Us
10 Surrender and seized man with each
hand. He was oaly boy, being less
than 20 ysara cid, and not having even
Q pistol with him It was q foOlhardy
thing for him to do. Having brave
heart in him, he acted ON impulse. The
idea with all Of as was that we had
hlnndared upon party Of soldiers sent
ont in search, and no one hesitated to
use his club.
It was only after the young soldier
had gone down under cur blows that
we found he was alone and unarmed.
Two men Lifted up his body and bore it
into thicket across the road, and when
at safe distance we examined his in
juries and did all that was possible un-
der the circumstances to revive him
Some Of the blows had fractured his
skull, and at the end of two hours he
was dead. When tell you that we were
sorsly grieved over the-matter, do not
half express our feelings In one sense
we had tho moral and legal right to at
tack him and defend ourselves, but when
we saw him lying dead we could not

The Cunning Marsh Wren's Attempt to
Conceal the Genuine One.
Many people have seen the marsh wren
without suspecting all it's cunning habits
of nest building. Last summer while
rowing with some friends on the Calumet
river, near the southern bend of Lake
Michigan, my attention was attracted by
on either side little russell bird with
harsh song sometimes delivered ON the
wing rs it lowered for moment above
the dense marsh grass, or else uttered
while among the scdges. Let us find the
nest, said for it has a curious habit of
building little village of nests, only one
of which it occupies. As we rowed slow
~ along near the edge Of the: marsh we
scanned the long grass for the signs. Sew
it, but We're disappointed till finally some
dcnser spots than usual attracted our at
tcntion, we pushed the boats few yards
into the marsh and there were the cum
ming little structures woven into the grass,
a foot or more above the sluggish water,
not one merely, but five or six of them,
only few feet apart. Only one of the
Was it rude attempt at concealing the
genuine nest by surrounding it with SO
many sham nests? The first, second and
third We're counterfeits; then a structure
little more elaborate than the others
with 4 little dry grass showing in it, was
examined. and found to hold the eggs.
One could just feel them by pressing the
finger into the little opening at the side
The sham nests were all built by pulling
the spot and weaving them together; tho
genuine nest was made in the same way,
with little extra material in the way of
dry grass added.-John Burroughs.
