o'clock, fed and watercd his horse and
started forward again. The rain was
still falling in fitful way, and the air
was chilling in the extreme. but the
young man absorbed in his thoughts
almost forgot the warning elements. He
had ridden forward an hour or more.
and the somber light of sullen dav
was creeping over the rugged hills as
he rode to. the top of long hill and
paused for d moment looking down a LONG
and narrow valley in his front. AS
he stopped the shrill blast of a morn
ing bugle-call resounded through the
valley and rolled up the hills, and he
knew that in front was an armed force.
He knew also that it must be a hostile
force.
The valley was a mere open gulch
and but the one road, following along a
swollen mountain brook. The hills were
covered with dense timber growth
and it looked impossible to skirt the
camp in the valley No time was to be
wasted, and he at once decided to at

ing to the right he plunged into the
thicket, where he dismounted and
throwing his reins over the pommel of

horse following like dog, and stepping

An Iceberg Every SIX MInutes.

The number of bergs given off in
Glacier bay, Alaska, varies somewhat
with the weather and the tides, the av-
erage being about one every five or six
minutes, counting only those large
enough to thunder loudly, and make
themselves heard at distance of two
or three miles The very largest, how
ever may, under favorable conditions,
be heard ten miles, or even farther.
When large mass sinks from the up
per assured portion of the wall, there is
first a keen, piercing crash, then a
deep, deliberate, prolonged, thunder
ing roar, which slowly subsidies into
low, muttering growl, followed by nu-
merous smaller grating, clashing
sounds from the agitated bergs that
dance in the waves about the newcomer
as if in welcome; and these again are
followed by the swash and roar of the
waves that are raised and hurled
against the moraines. But the largest
and most beautiful of the bergs, in
stead of thus falling from the upper
weathered portion of the wall, rise
from the submerged portion with q
still grander commotion, springing
with tremendous voice and gestures
nearly to the top of the wall, tons of
water streaming like hair down their
sides, plunging and rising again and
again before they finally settle in per-
feet poise, free at last, after having
formed part of a slow-crawling glacier

CHAPTER XIII.


John was one of those men, who with
out being brilliant or snowy, had an
activity of body and steadiness of mind
which often stood in good stead of more
snowy qualities. In the present emer-
gency he grasped in moment the des-
peration of his affairs, ,and promptly
recognized that his only chance was in
utter recl1lessness.
He answered the challenge with the
usual word:
"a friend" and as he uttered it let
his hand fall to his belt where hidden
under his great coat was trusty re-
volver.
Advance, friend, and give the coun-
tcrsign," was the next sharp demand.
BY this time his hand was on his re-
volver. Drawing and cooking it was
the work of moment. Striking spurs
to his horse, he took quick aim at one
of the federal soldiers and, as he fred,
shouting ''there it is,' his horse

he fired fell heavily from his horse, shot

movements disconnected his aim, and
the ball grazed the young mans tenn

was alongside of him, and even in that
moment of hot conflict, reluctant to
take life, instead of shooting the sol
dicr he brought him sweeping blow
over the head with his pistol, which
sent him reeling and senseless to the
ground.

AT daylight the next morning. this
gallant soldier rode up to the picket
outside of Gen. Jackson's lines. and.
when challenged, replied: Courier from
Gen. Lee with dispatches for Gen. Jack
son."
He had come fifty miles since his last
halt, riding all night over the rourhest
roads in Christendom, dismal, cold
rain falling steadily. When escorted up
to headquarters he had to be lifted from
his saddle, and would have fallen but
for ready hands.
The poor horses, as they were led away
to be cared for, staggered from utter
weakness.
The general seeing Johns condition
had the orderly to give him pint cup
of strong, hot coffee from the supplv
making for the headquarters breakfast.
He gulped down the scalding but re-

A WAR INCIDENT.

In ten minutes John reported at head
quarters, saluted and waited instruc-
tions.
These dispatches are to go to Gen.
Jackson, who is now somewhere in the
lower valley. 1t is very dangerous
journey and your life will be in your
hands; it will require both courage and
shrewdness. If you are successful l will
see that you are rewarded, but if you
have any hesitation about it, will find
another man."
John had listened respectfully and at
tentively-he replied: 81 have no near
relatives, general; my life is of but lit
tie value to me or anyone else, and to
risk or lose it for my country is all it is
now good for. do not fight for reward,
and will be fully, repaid with your ap-
proval." ee

John ate his breakfast, threw himself
down on rude couch and slept until
three o'clock. The general, though
anxious to talk with him, would not al
low his sleep to be broken. but left in
structions to give him his dinner when
he awoke, and send him to headquar-
ters.
About half-past three he reported to
the general, nothing the worse for his
tremendous journey.
Il see, young man, that these dis
patches are dated noon of the 21st; this
is the 23d. At what hour did you leave
Gen. Lees camp?"
about two o'clock, general"
What is your name?"
John Hewson, company B. - the
Virginia cavalry"
Virginia born?"
Alabama, sir.'
"Well, Private Hewson, you are
good rider, few men could have made
the trip in the time. BY the way, how
did you come in possession OF two extra
horses, with federal equipments?"
"Spoils of war, general; little sl1irm-
ish on the road, and here are some
papers l took from the owners of the
horses"
Living or dead?"
zone dead, one insensible."
'Ah! l see;' and, turning to a soldier
ly-looking man near by, he said, in an
undertone:
"a gallant soldier, Col. Ashby"
''Indeed he is," responded the lion
hearted Virginian, land / would like
the best kind to capture him."
John caught this conversation and
flushed with pleasure.
The general read the papers hastily
and knitted his brow. Turning to John
he said: Il will need you again shortly.
In the meanwhile, / shall at once recon-
mend you for promotion to lieuten-
ancy."
Indeed, general, / am not seeking
promotion"

not resist the temptation to come up
and show his feelings.
The sight of the dog did John good.
He patted his head and the horse on the

CHAPTER XI.
sOsN

1t was the fail OF the fateful year 1861.
The southern states had seceded from
the union; bloody war was raging
throughout the land; Bull Run had been
fought; Gen. Lee was in command of
the confederate forces in western Vir-
ginia, ard was about opening up what
was perhaps to those engaged the most
dismal campaign of the war.
On a gloomy day, heavy with chilling
mists and threatening every moment a
heavy downpour of rain, Gen. Lee was
sitting in the rude log hut that served
him as headquarters in earnest CONVEX
sation with q cavalry colonel,
Il want picked man for special
service of great Importance and equally
great danger. He must be brave and
cautious. Have you the man want?"
The colonel thought moment before
replying and then said:
81 have been impressed several times
with a young man in B company. He
is as steady as rock under FIRE, never
excited, never rash, but always in the
front rank of an advance and one Of the
last to retire. l am not quite sure as to
his name, but can ascertain in a few
minutes" An orderly was dispatched
for the captain of b company, who
promptly reported,
Capt Williams" said the colonel,
what is the name of that tall young fell
low in your company who is SO quiet,
but seems so resolute? | mean the
sandy-haired, frecl1led-faced lad"
''That is the best man in my COM
pany. John Hewson is his name"
what do you know about him?"
asked the general.
"Not very much. He came to my house
just before the war broke out from
somewhere in the south, seeking hos
pitality for day or SO, as there was no
tavern in the vicinity, and we were of
course glad to have him, as l live away
from the main roads and do not see
many travellers. He was quiet, gentle
spoken, well informed, the best rider
/ have ever known, had q fine old
hound, and that wonderful little horse
he rides, both of which seemed to have
a human affection for him. He talked
but little about himself, said that he,
was born in Alabama, but had lived
several years in Texas. At our earnest
request his visit was heightened into
several weeks, and when 1 organized
my company very much to my surprise
he joined and is by all odds the best
man in the company"
'You think him faithful and trusts
worthy?" queried the general.
81 would stake my life on his honor "
warmly responded the captain.
"Well, captain" said the general,
smiling in his kind way, 81 see the
young man has your good opinion, and
that inclines me favorably toward him.
l want an exceptional man for excep-
tional service. In fact, / must get inn
portant dispatches to Gen. Jackson at
ONCE
The colonel and captain both looked
very grave, and the colonel voiced their
sentiment by saying:
st is almost certain death, general.
One hundred miles through country
swarming with federals."
81 know that, gentlemen" and the
good mans voice was sad, ''but in this
cruel business good men must risk their
lives for the cause. Send me the young
man" cs5,e

THE NEWS IN BRIEF.
Spanish Atrocities.
Maceo Has Four Companies of Amazon
Warriors.

MaceO Has Four Companies of Amazon
Warriors.
A New York despatch from Key West.
Fla, says: Letters received in this CITY
from Santiago de Cuba tell of crimes com.
mitted by Spaniards in that province that
would shame the Kurds. In the last two
weeks more than 20 men, women and chill.
dren have fallen victims to the ferocity of
the Spaniards. Recently a column of
Spanish troops met ten peaceabe Cubans
near the town of Minas de Firmeza, and
swung them up by the wrists to trees by
the wayside. The troops then fired volley
after volley into their bodies. The corpses
remained swinging for two days before any
one dared to cut them down.
ga similar massacre is alleged to have
been perpetrated May 26, near Arrovo
Guerra. Five negroes were met by com
pany of Spanish troops and shot to death.
The corpses were left unburied on the
road. Near the same places on the night
of May p, Spanish soldiers went to a
house occupied by Josefa Lopez and Felice
Rogero, wives of insurgents, and forced the
women to submit to indignities. In the
morning the soldiers fired the house and
left. The women and girls were dragged
out by neighbors before the flames reached
them. The elder women have since died
from the effects of the injuries they re-
ceived."
The report that Maceo has four compan-
les of women soldiers has been confirmed
The Cuban women have such a dread of
Spanish brutality that many of them pre-
fer fighting on the battle field, beside their
husbands and brothers, to being thrown
into forts at the Spaniards' trocha. In
Maceo's recent attack on the trocha these
amazons took part and fought fiercely,
using machetes on the Spaniards. The at
tack was made north of San MariOs, and
Gen. Bermudes crossed into Havana Prov
ince with 1900 men.
