in his company, but l am sure you will

HE PUT HIS HAND ON HER SHOULDER.
many battles, our regiment was walked
up at midnight and marched forward to
be ready for great battle that was
coming in the morning.
1.-The cannons began to boom by day
light, and in little while the bullets
were buzzing through the woods like
great bumblebees, and big shells scream
ed through the trees, and the men were
falling all around us.
"The enemy fought very bravely,
but after a time we began to drive them
back a little, and at length we were or
dered to make a charge. We started on
the run, everybody cheering, Henry
and / side by side just before we
reached the ridge where the enemy were
waiting Tor us felt sharp sting in

edge Of the wood some one might find

He was wounded, too, but 1 did not
know then how badly.
1--WE had been talking few minutes
when we heard groan from a clump
of bushes behind US. Henry crawled
over and found man in gray uni
form, badly hurt and calling piteously
for water. Neither of us had drop.
Henry crawled back and sat with me by
the tree little while, but he could not
rest for thinking of the poor man in the
bushes, who was dying for a drink Of
water.
"Over the right we could hear lit
tie running brook, and Henry started
to crawl to it. He could only move very
slowly, he was so weak from his
wounds, but he never stopped or COM
planned. He just dragged himself along
till he reached the brook.
"The bank was high and steep, and
he did not have strength to climb down,
but he lay on the edge and lowered his
canteen by cord, and when it was full
he drew it up. Then he crawled back
to the man in gray and gave him the
water. The poor fellow was so glad he
cried, and he made my brother tell him
his name and where he lived.
Henry crawled back to the tree and
lay down beside me. We began to talk
of our home, and by and by he asked
me to sing, and l did, and Henry sang
little, too, and then the wounded man
in gray, back in the bushes, took up the
song in his poor, weak voice. But be-
fore long we heard him moaning for
water again, and Henry dragged him.

more, till he grew quiet.
II must have fallen asleep then.
When l walked, some men who had
come to search for the wounded were
bending over me. l looked all around,
but could not see Henry. The men
looked and found him near the brook.
"He was cold and still, my dear, but
in his hand was the canteen, which he
was trying TO FIJI again for his wounded

night. You must not cry or feel badly,

No Large Portion of the Force
to Be Assembled at Any
One Point.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 28.-A compre.
hensive programme tor moving troops
to Cuba has been outlined by the war
department., and its initial features
have been decided upon. This result
is due to directions given by the prssi.
dent on Sept. 2. to the effects that de.
tails of troops be made for Cuba. Act
ing on this, Major General Miles has
outlined plan for sending two divi-
sions to Cuba, the first under command
of Major General Wade, to leave in
October, and the second division under
Major General Ftzhugh Lee, to leave
in November. Each division will en-
brace about q, ,00O men, 80 that the plan
is to have some $4,000 troops in Cuba
or on the way there within the next 60
days. 1t is not contemplated, however,
that sny large number OF this force
shall be assembled at any one point IL
this country or in Cuba, the desire being
to keep them scattered as they can there
by be handled to better advantages.
From the fact that they go to Cuba. it
