Indifference maddened her ani she decided
that life without his love was a farce.
She went To the pond near tho Chilson

Miss Greene plunged into the pond but
did not select spot where the water was
OF sufficient depth. she called for assist
ance and then tainted. Three boys heard
hor cry for assistance and fished her out
of the pond.
Officer Tom Nelson was summoned
and with others he worked over the

NO THOUGHT OF BANNERS.

The soldier in battle does not, conscientious
ly, arrange dramatic situations. When John
A. Logan, summoned by destiny, rode sabred
and spurred, along those bleeding lines,
beautiful in the deep sense that makes the
heroic always beautiful, he little thought Of
the banners that wave for him today.
That day at Atlanta had none of the roman
tic surroundings which give artificial renown
TO battlefelds No pyramids, hiding the grim
them. lt was not Lodi, where general could
dash across q bridge TO victory. There were
no narrow paths 90 Story. IL was bresst-to-
breast fighting; such as seldom comes IN any
war; a confused mass, struggling against An
enemy that was everywhere. And, in the
midst of them, was Logan, chief-not because
of his epaulettcs, but because tho COMMAND
had fallen on one who knew what to do and
could not bI eat the until IL was done.
