solidation Of all the regiments and com.
panies has been held,-those that have
been reduced below certain strength. -
and, as there Is hardly anything left oi
Co. A, why, IL disappears. All the non-
commissioned officers-that means you
and me-are to be mustered out and inn
mediately are to have commissions as
Captains in the Regular Army, and Bron-
son, whom the doctors say is recovering
rapidly, but will never be able to do field
duty again, is commissioned as Captain
in the Invalid Corps they are now forming.
Stock, here, is to be discharged, OF course,
but the G neral says he will get h m a
good position in the Chicago Custom
House, where his salary will be entirely
out of proportion to the work he will have
to do.
All night long the comrades sat to-
gether and discussed the news and the
wonderful changes that it would bring to
each of them. They formed hundred
plans for meeting again and spending the
rest of their lives together.
This seemed probable, as they were all
sanguine that the Confederacy must soon
succumb under the stunning blows it had
received on the Fourth Of July at Vicks-
burg and Gettysburg. When the morning
came they made their preparations for
separating in accordance with the orders
they had received, and, after adieus and
assurances to each other Of the probabili-
ties of speedy reunion, parted.
Bronson was sent up the river on the
hospital boat appropriated to officers,
while Stock made the journey on the one
for enlisted men.
O'Neil's orders took him down the river,
as his regiment was with the Army OF the
Gulf. Karl. who hesitated about accept
ing his commission as Captain in a negro
regiment, for fear of Artemesia's displeas-
ure, persuaded the Surgeon to continue
him while on the convalescent list. 1t
was so sweet to remain near his be-
trothed, with no care or responsibility to
mar the completeness Of the elysium In
which he had dwelt since receiving the
confession of her love for h m,
that he cared not to move lest the sweet
dream fade. Walter took his commission
as Captain, and at once set about re-
cruiting his company to its full e,Iength
and drilling il into efficiency.
