quareious, rough of speech and making
no pretensions to gentleness or COM
panlonship. We enlisted him. after our
company reached the front, and it was
by accident that he came to G.. instead
of another company. He gave his name
as Reuben HardmaE, and he was the
only man among US who kept his fam
IIy history to himself. Now and then.
after he had stood sentry duty in a
pouring rain, or we had temporarily
been put on half-rations owing to the
muddy roads, Reube would break out
and say:
"Gaul darn Danl's hide, but if | had
him here I'd wallop him till he
couldn't holler! What on airth did he
go and do it fur and bring all this

he would promptly reply that it was

many guesses about it, but it turned
out that we were far from the mark.
About twice a week the man would find
something wrong and begin to pitch

stand to hear a word against him from
anybody else. 1t was an old subject
when we got around to Petersburg and
the last year of the war, and Reube
had long before been put down as &C.

to be solved, however. AS our regiment
took the ritle-pits in front of the center
of Grants lines, the man Reube was
one day detailed to occupy one of them.

1t was funny what influence that lit

1t came to be known by hundred men
on each side that Reube and Dan'l were
brothers, and their names became
household words. They were on duty
in the pits only three times before their
respective regiments were relieved and
sent TO the rear, but the men who came
after them had something to talk about.
After trying their best for a couple of
hours to get in a fatal shot, the firing
would cease and a confederate would
call out:
