comfortable farmhouse. STACKS or rod-
der and straw and pens of corn in the
shuck were ranged around There was
every appearance of prosperity, but no
sign of life, save two bluebirds, the pio-
neers of spring, that were fighting
around the martin gourds, preparing to
take possession.

Hur'ld that they call it the civil war,
but it's nothin but oncivil, sor, for to

"You are right" assented the cap
tain. "There's nothing civil about war

deserted.
Sure, look at the forage, thin. 'Tis

My people are gone, said the cap
tain. my father was Union man. /
wouldn't be surprised to hear of him
somewhere at the north. The day that /
was Is he gave me larruping for dis
obedience, and ran away"
"Don't spake of it, sor." O'Halloran
held up his hands. "Many's the time
I've had me feelin's hurted wit bar'l
stave."
"That was in $780," said the cap
tain. "Iwas too proud togo back home,
but when the war began remembered
what strong Union man my father
was, and I joined the Union army"
IT'S great scheme for play"
said the big Irishman solemnly.
"My mother was Dead" the captain
went ON, my oldest sister was mar
ried, and my youngest sister was at
school in Philadelphia, and my brother,
two years older than myself, made life
miserable for me in trying to boss me. y
"Oh ' exclaimed C'Halloran. Don't
I know that same? IT'S meself that's
been along there. I"
Captain Somerville looked at the old
place, carefully noting the outward
changes, which were comparatively
few. He noted, too, with the eye of a
soldier, that when the impending con-
flict took place between the forces then
facing each other, there would be
sharp struggle for the knoll ON which
the house stood, and he thought it was
a curious feat for his mind to perform,
to regard the old home where he had
been both happy and miserable as a
strategic point of battle. Private Hal
loran had no such memories to please or
to vex him. To the extent of his oppor-
tunities he was man of business. He
took piece of white cloth from his
pocket and hung it ON the broken sap
ling.
"I'n see, sor, if yon chap is in the
grocery business
As he turned away there was puff
of smoke on the farther hill, cracking
report, and the hanging cloth jumped
as though it were alive
Faith, it's him, sorr' exclaimed
O'Halloran, IAN he's in mighty hur-
ry" Whereupon the big Irishman
brushed a pile of leaves from an oil
cloth strapped together in the semblance
of knapsack.
"What have you there?" asked Cap
tain Somerville.
"Sure, it's me grocery store, sor.
Coffee, tay an sugar. Faith, I'll make
the DEVILS mouth water like baby
cuttin his stomach lathe. Would We
mind comm along, sor, for to kape me
from swindlin the Johnny out of all his
belongin's?"

away. Then come the reply, like this"
Happy Jack snapped his fingers and
then went to sleep waitin for the re-
finder. "
Fitzpatrick paused and looked stead
lily in the direction of tho poplar.
"Well, dog my cats Yonder's chap
standin right out in front of me. 1t
amt the Mickey neither. I'll see what
he's up to- He raised his rife with a
light swinging movement, chirruped to
it as though it were a horse or little
child, and in another moment the dead
ly business of war would have been re-
sumed, but Fambrough laid his hand
ON the sharpshooter' arm.
WATT" 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 don't know your
old man? He's big in the body an wab-
bly, in his legs. You've spilled mighty
purity shot, 1 believe in my soul that
chap was colonel, an he might "a been
a general Now that's funny"
Whats funny?" asked Fambrough.
"Why, that chap. He'll never know
you saved him, an if he now'd it he
wouldn't thank you. I'd "a put 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. "If he amt drunk, some
body pulled him out of the way. 7"
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 Eliminating. 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'
rifle, but Fitzpatrick placed his hand on
it jealousy.
"Give me the gun. Yonde Yank
in full view"
Fitzpatrick, still holding his rifle,
raised himself and looked.
"Why, he's hanging out flag of
truce, (" said Clopton. What does the
fellow meant"
"It's a message, said Fitzpatrick,
Fan here's the answer" With that he
raised his rife, dropped it gently in the
palm of his left hand and fred.
"You saw the hankcher jump, didn't
your he exclaimed. well, that lets
us out That's my Mickey. He wants
tobacco, an want coffee an tea. Come
watch me swap him out of his eye
teeth"
Then Fitzpatrick went to clump of
broom sedge and drew forth wallet
containing several pounds of prepared
smoking tobacco and bundle of plug
tobacco, and in a few moments the trio
were picking their way through the un-
derwood toward the open.

The elder of his new dodgers repeated

into one of waiting-of waiting and

She could not see the street, for, below

dressing herself. The woman watched
her plat her fair hair looking sideways

Gradually the watcher became inter

the girl looked up, and met the wom'
