Five minutes later all the men in the

there was q rush, and the blue lines

snow-fakes of winter, and bush and

and splintered as If lightning had
played among them. The federals were
outnumbered, but they would not fall

was returned, even by men who were
wounded twice and thrice, and more
than one veteran went to earth cheer

1t was accounted something more
than a curious coincidence that after
Thomas Barnes, of Eaton county, had
written his name on the enlistment pa
pers of company B, Third regiment,
tine very next name below should be
that of Thomas Barnes, Of Calhoun
county. Not only that, but the two men
were of the same age, height and build;
they looked as mucn alike as two peas.
Neither had known of the others ex-
istence until they met in the recruiting
office. Then they stared at each other
for long minute, and Barnes, of Eaton
county, exclaimed:
"Wall, I'll be cussed'"
"And SOIL Il" replied Barnes. of Cal
houn county,
You're no twin-brother of mine!"
''And I'm glad on it,"
The two Barnes took a dislike to each
| uiher on first sight, but when they
came to fali into the ranks they were
placed side by side. 1t also happened
that they became terminates. In max
ing up his roll the orderly sergeant
renamed them. He put one down us
Eaton Barnes and the other as Calhoun
Barnes, and they had to accept the
names, although Eaton angrily ex-
claimed:

The twins, as they were always re-
ferred to, were always disputing and
wrangling and ready to come to blows.
That they never actually struck each
other was probably owing to the fact

| As / sat on the veranda with the
farmer after supper I asked him if ht
was not greatly bothered by tramps
and his reply was:
wall, good many of 'em come
along and want bite to eat, and some
of 'em are pretty sassy, but only one
man of 'em ever served me a real mean
trick"
"Poison your dog?" / queried.
1T was meaner than that. We was
eatin' dinner one day in the spring
when hive of bees started to swarm
I'd bin expcctin' it and watchin' 'em
and had new hive ready. When bees
swarm they will light on most anything
handy-a limb, bush or even the
pump. jest as the bees began to pour
out of The hive and circle around along

sunthin' to eat. The queen bee settled
down on his old hat, and the hull

as cowcumber. and when I told him
he'd hev to stand in smudge till the
bees was killed off he jest laughed.
When they'd all settled down on him
and / was goin' to start smudge he
seq:
"'Old man, what dye think this

"'About five dollars seq /.
"'Ar' We willin' to give three?' sez he.
"'What fur?' seq
sBekase you'll either pay me three
dollars or I'll walk Off with the bizness
and sell cut to somebody else!'"
"And you had TO buy him OFF,"
asked.
That's where the meanness come
in" replied the farmer. "Them bees
was my property, and wasn't buyin'
what was my own. He offered to take
TWO dollars, but couldn't see how he
could git away with 'em and refused
to come down. Then he starts off. l
reckoned the bees would git angry and

houn Barnes was saying:
"Drat his hide; jest saved him 'caus,
he's the meanest man and the bigges

"Oh! 1t was you, eh!" muttered tn,
wounded man. I'D like to know wha,
right critter like you has to jump il
and drag me around! I'll Jest thanh
you to mind your own bizness after
this!"
From that time on we knew that the
twins had the highest respect and es
TEEN for each other, and that quarrel
and wrangling was simply a cover t.
hide their real feelings. Eaton Barnes
lay In the hospital for many weeks, and
hardly day passed that Calhoun didn't
say to some member Of the company:
do you know, jest believe that
miserable critter stood right there and
held out his leg in hopes to git shot and
have an easy time in the hospital? II
would have served him right if the bull.
let had shattered the bone and the leg
had had to come of. I've stood heap
of sass from the Teller, and if he ever
comes back to the company shall have
to turn to and give him an awful
lickin'!"
And in the hospital at Washington
Eaton Barnes never let slip an oppor-
tunity Of saying to the comrades around
him:
If it hadn't ben for tine critter next
to me I'd have got of all right. He
amt got no sand, you know, and had
to keep bracin' him up or he'd have run
away. I'll lick him outer his butes
when | git back to old company B."
The meeting between the twins when
Eaton Barnes finally returned afforded
q good deal of amusement. Calhoun
Barnes was cleaning his gun in front
of his tent when Eaton came along
and halted to say:
why. you here yet! They told me
your mother had cried you out OF the
army!"
"Oh, they did" replied Calhoun, as
he kept his eyes on his gun. "Wall,
heard that you did nothing but cry for
three weeks because a bullet barked
your leg. Don't You want rag to wipe
your eyes?'
I'll make you boiler for mercy before
you are day older!"
"You couldn't lick fly::"
That was all. They were both glad
in their hearts to see each other, but
neither wanted to be the first to admit
it. They were terminates and chums
again. and though they had their daily
quarrels as before we gave them no
further attention. We had come al last
to understand them.
Three months later, as Grant swept
down on the wilderness to hunt fo- his
old adversary, the Third regiment was
on the left center and one VI those on
the advance line. Shoulder to shoulder
the twins forced their way through the
thickets and over the hogs, and as they
advanced Eaton Barnes took occasion
to say:
'.AIebbe you don't know where We are
headed for? From the way your tongue
IS hangin' out seems you think you're
on coon-hunt."
Don't give me none O. your chin!"
replied Calhoun. IF you run away I'll
shoot you ia the back!-

Eaton Barnes, in an absent moment, OBJ

"Wall. wen give elm hell If they come
this way"
"You bet We wilI!. replied Calhoun

Then Eaton Barnes suddenly remem.
bered that he was down" on the other

"Oh, you are here, are you! Didn't
know but you had got furlough and

"Yes, I'm here!" replied Calhoun
Barnes, getting red-hot in an instant,
land if you feel like crawling into the
bushes i'll do the fighting for two
men!"
Don't give me any Of your chin!"
"And don't bristle up to me unless
you want an ear knocked off"
The captain ordered them to shut up,
and at the same time company ''B"
was advanced to a turn in the BUSH
fringed highway. Five minutes later
the enemy appeared and there was hot
skirmishing. The company held the
road for ten minutes and then fell back
on its supports, and it was just as the
order was given to retreat that Eaton
Barnes received a bullet in the right leg
and went down. His chum did not miss
him for moment, but when he did he
handed his musket to a comrade and
started up the road at a run. It was
now being swept by the enemy's fire,
and so men shouted to him to come
back, but he covered the 20 rods with
the hot lead singing around his ears and
kicking up the dust about his feet. Two
dead and three wounded men had been
left behind. Eaton Barnes lay on the
broad of his back, half-stupefied by the
shock of the bullet, when some one lift
ed him up, gave his body half-twist.
