CHAPTER XVIII.

RENEWING THE BATTLE-A CALL FOR
SHARPSHoOTERS-L WORK FOR
THE FILE-THE GRAPHIC STORY OF A
LEADERS ESCAFE-SURRENDER OF
THE FORT
The long, weary night was nearly ended
There had come those dispiriting moments
that come to all watchers, just before the
break of day, that seemed to soldiers stand
ing guard in front of the enemy to have the
emptiness of a vain and exhausted world.
Bronson and Walter had been on the line to-
gether for the last hour while O'Neil Karl
and Stock caught such sleep as they could in
the shelter of the campfire behind the hill
They had been there scarcely an hour, but it
seemed an age to Walter. He had crept up
behind the old log into the place vacated iy
Karl and fired his rifle with languid sulkiness
in the direction of a flash he had seen on the
hillside where the rebels were. He was so
sleepy and tired that he would not take the
precautions TO turn over on his hack and load
with his head guarded by the log, but raised
himself up from his protection and went
through the motions of loading with lazy
slowneSS
1t was hard work to keep awake, and he
caught himself thinking several times that if
he could only go to sleep again for an hour OF
two he wouldn't care whether the fort was
taken or not. He fumbed around sleepily
In his cap-box for a cap, and thought what a
stupid, senseless thing war was anyhow
What wretched nonsense it was that he who
loved comfort so dearly and wanted nothing
but to be at peace with all men should be
groVeling around in the snow and slusl. ex-
posing himself to death, in hopes of killing
somebody else. Then his anger arose that it
was the fault of the rebels over there-that
If they had stayed at home lie could have
done the same He picked ont the cap he
had been dallying with. stuck it on the tube
and fired spitefully across the ravine, hoping
TO hit somebody and make him sorry that he
had assisted to bring aboHt the rebellion
Then he lodged quickly behind the log to
avoid the bullet that he knew would come in
reply, and reloaded his rife

no attention to his reminder that it was .
commanders duty to stay with his men and
share their fate, but turned the command
over to him. Floyd took few of his men
| upon steamer lying at the wharf and
steamed off toward Nashville amid the curses
| and imprecations of those whom he was
abandoning. Pillow and his staff padded
across the river in an old skiff to the woods,
and walked till they found horses.
Now that they have gone, Gen. Buckner
sends a bugler ont to sound the parley that
he may send note to Gen. Grant asking
terms of surrender.
But the company knew nothing OF this.
Everywhere preparations are being made to
take the fort at the point of the bayonet at
daylight.
When Co. A joins the regiment it finds all
the horrors Of the night after desperate
battle All around are heard the cries and
means of the wounded calling for help, for
water, for something to keep them from
freezing to death. Some are praying in fer
vent tones that ring sadly through the dark
woods.
Around great fires which ara smoldering
into darkness are laid rows of dead and
wounded who have been found and brought
in. Comrades are watching by the wounded,
their condition less painful. Nearly every
man that comes into the light has bandage
around some portion OF his body, showing
that he too has received wound, though not
serious enough to disable him.
Co. A engages in the work of hunting up
the wounded and carrying them to the fire,
for an hour or so, when the order comes to
fall in line. 1t is day break, and the attack is
to be made.
Day downs with gray chillIness and
shows the regiments standing in line with
bayOnets fixed and desperate determination
shown on every face. Chaplain Narbrett
rides to head front of the first regiment,
and makes fervent prayer which is listened
to with bowed, uncovered heads, and a
loud Z" amen " goes up from many lips.
Capt. Moore, who is now in command of
the regiment. on account of casualties among
the Geld officers, gives the order, g Forward
March Fl" and the regiment moves On-not
with the cheers and grand enthusiasm that it
went into action the previous morning, but
with grim, voiceless determination
1t moves through the woods to the edge of
the open space across which are the rebel
lines, where it expects the fight to begin with
a heavy volley, to which it will respond with
the bayonet charge; that is, those who are
not Killed ny the VOlIey, thinks waiter
with a sinking heart. The snow, redeemed
with blood of those slain yesterday, and
blackened with powder and death-dealing
missiles, crunches under their feet. Dry
limbs crack and branches half cut off by
the storm of bullets the day before, fall with
a crash to the ground.
Still no shot comes from the rebels. The
edge Of the woods is reached, and they look
across to the rebel lines, and instead of lines
of armed men they see little white f1ags-of-
truce f1uttering from every available point in
the works
Capt. Moore grasps the astounding fact
first:
'As God is my Judge, the forts sur
rendered J"

in the Kols Plant, rare botanic product OF West
African origin. So great the powers of this New
Remedy that in the short time since its discovery it
has come into almost universal use in the Hospitals
OF Europe and America for the cure of every form
OF Asthma The cures wrought by it are really mar
velous Among others the editor of the Formers
Magazine, of Washington, d. c., Mr.. Alfred Lewis,
testifes that after many years suffering especially
in Hayfeyer season. the Kola Plant completely cur
ed him. He was so bad that he could not lie down,
night or day for fear OF choking. After fifteen
years suffering from the worst form of Asthma
Mrs. A: Mcdonald, of Victor. Iowa, writes that
the KOla Plant cured her in two weeks. Rev. 8.
81. Eisenberg, Centre Hall, Pa; Rev. John L.
Moore, Alice, 8. C.; Mr. Frank C.. Newall, Market
National Bank, Boston; and many others give
similar testimony of their cure OF Asthma and
Hay fever. after five to twenty years suffering, by
this wonderful new remedy As the Kola Plant
is a specific constitutional cure for the disease,
Hayfever sufferers should use it before the season
OF the attacks when TO give it tina
to act on the system. If you suffer from Asthma
or Hay-fever, in order to prove the power of this
new botanic discovery, we will send you ono

As it passes along the center they hear a

There is stir in little negro hut on the

forth, mount horses and ride off in the dark

That does mean something extraordi-

Could they have looked into the head

the fort, they would have known that it had
