treating forces assembled n rather pre-
cipitous ridge. Here they determined
70 make a last desperate stand, in the
nope that assistance would soon ar
rive.
Heroically they stood their ground,
but the Floridians were by this time
thoroughly aroused, and seemed de-
termined to carry the war into the
enemy's camp. In the face of a per-
feet storm of missiles they assembled
almost to the very crest of the ridge.
But even as the defenders were begin
ming to give way, loud cheering in
their rear told them that reinforce
ments were at hand.
Now the battle began in earnest.
Fully two thousand men on each side
were now engaged, and perhaps no
grander spectacle of the kind was
ever witnessed anywhere. Neither
Florida nor the allies would yield an
inch. For fifteen or twenty minutes
the sides seemed evenly matched.
Gradually, as the men became ex-
hausted from their violent eXertions,
they fell away to the rear, and soon
the battle was ended. Neither side
claimed victory; and, as there were
no dead to bury nor wounded to be
cared for, neither coveted the empty
honor of camping on the field of battle.
The Kentuckians ever afterward en-
tertained a greater respect for the
Floridians, and during the closiAg
year of the war the two brigndes were
engaged together in many battle less
bloodless, alas than the battle of the
snowballs.- III. turks, in Youths

THE SHIPS BELL.
An Old Soldiers "Reminiscences OF a Com

panion In tho Civil War.
II was in the land service,'' said an
old soldier, but everything about the
naval service has always had the great
est fascination for me, perhaps on ac-
count of the fact that my regiment,
like many another, for that matter,
had more or less of service on the
coast or by navigable waters, within
sight or sound of gunboats, think
the landsman generally when he
first hears the sound of the ships bell
is pretty sure to be struck by it, ever
! more than by the sound of the ships

and sea; but tns-e is distinctly salty
flavor about the ships bell, and one
soon comes to like it Very much. {
The sight of the gunboat by day is
cheerful, but the sound of the ships
bell at night is more cheering still
Time and again, on guard ut night, 1
have listened for the bell. met, to
sure, at either end of the post, the man
on the next post, yet all the camp was
asleep, and the sound of the bell was
welcome companionship. 1t meant
that somebody was up on the gunboat,
too; and'not only up, but alert. The ship
may not be visible; but the exact strils-
ing of the hours means presence, readi-
ness and power. And what's this it
strikes? Seven bells. Half-past three;
and you smile a little as you think that
at eight bells comes the relief

far from camp, with it's friendly sug-
gestion of support even though it be

WELL, that looks natural" said the
old soldier, as he looked at the open
can of condensed milk on'the breakfast
table, in place of the ordinary milk,
which had failed on account of the
cold weather The label on the can
was familiar; he had bought milk of
the same brand of the sutler some
thirty odd years before, and that was
in time of stormy weather, too.
