"You-you wanted to see me?" said
the business man, as he turned in his
Office chair at the entrance of a
stranger.
''Yes, sir" was the reply from the
well-dressed, prosperous-looking caller.
II left your house half an hour ago."

brother or something?"

there to ask for an old coat, and she
hunted me up this -overcoat--

least S50."
Nearer $780," growled the business
man.
Don't doubt 1t, but you see the fix
l am in. There is such a thing as the
eternal fitness of things. l can't go

such rig-out as this"

"And no one would think of asking
me to carry out ashes or shovel snow"
"Well?"

The merchant scratched his head
sighed heavily, and ringing his bell he
said to the boy who answered it:
Joseph, tell Mr.. Markham to put
this gentleman TO work at SIS per week,
and advance him as fast as his talents
and attention to my interests seem to
deserved"

RUSSIA AIDS MERCHANT SHIPS
Cars Government Hopes to Increase
Trade with other
Lands.

The Russian government, from in
formation received by the bureau of
navigation, is preparing measures for
the early development of its merchant
marine. Although there are only "a
Russian steamships of over 1000 tons,
and of these only four are over IA knots,
the Russian government during 1898 ex-
pended over Sl,OOO,OOO on its seagoing
steamships.
To increase its navigation on the Pa.
cific the Russian government for the
next ten years will pay Suez canal dues,
as the Austrian government has done
for some time, on national merchant
steamships. The restriction of the
coasting trade of the empire, whether
the ports are on the Baltic or Black seas
or the Pacific, to Russian vessels will
not affect appreGiably American nav
igation, as for the last two years no
American vessels have entered this
country from or cleared for European
Russia, and last year only four Amer
lean sailing vessels entered from and
cleared for Russian ports on the Pa
cific.

am glad you did. War is bad
enough. without pickets trying tomur-
der each other. Got to go back now?"
"Yes, think I'll be movin', as the re-
lief will be along purity soon. So yo'
think Gen. Lee is suah to be whopped ?"
''Sure to be. We all know him for
fighter, but he must cave in to odds.
However," 1
"Oh! I'm goin' to see the thing out
you bet yo'r butes ami" interrupted
the confederate. ''I'm goin' to stick
right by till the last guns fired, and
mebbe I'll go fghtin' on my own hook
arter that. Nobody could hev coaxed
me to desert. / was just sorter akin
out o curiosity, yo' see?"
II understand Well, so long to you,
old man, and hope to see you again"
A week later both Grant and Lee
were massing fresh troops on that
front. A battle was to be fought, and
each strained every nerve to get ready
for it. There was no more visiting
among the pickets. They had murder
in their hearts now and were shooting
to kill. One morning as the red sun
leaped above the tree-tops, men were
rushed into battle-line and cloud of
skirmishers went running down in
front. The enemy sent forward cloud
to match, and these men ran and
lodged, crept and crawled, and made
targets of each other. 1t was the pref
ace of a forward movement of tho
lines. 1t was brief prologue. At one
time the federal skirmishers pushed
back the confederates-again the con
federates gained ground. Tom Boyer
was there among the men of his COM
psny, and as he rested for a moment
behind a hillock he said to the comrade
at his elbow:
''Tm arter that Yank behind the
stump. He'll poke his head out agin in
a mint, and then-whoop! Say, now,
but got him! Come on-we've got 'enl
on the runl"
The confederates moved forward
few rods and were checked. Tom
Boyer knelt beside the man lie had
killed with a grim smile on his face,
but as he turned the dead man over
his smile vanished and his face went
white.
whats the matter, Tom?"
''I-Ive killed himl"
Eyes, you've killed Yank, but what
of it?"
God forgive mel" whispered Tom, as
he looked at the face again.
whats all this about, | say?"
God! God! But I've killed the
squarest, fa'rest Yankee in Gineral
Grants hull army! He was the man
who told me toto stick!"

men to your one in the field. We can
make it five or six to one. We have got
your ports blockaded, your armies
cooped up, and though you fight like
the devil we shall win. 1t can't be 9TH
erwise. In year OF less there will be
no more southern confederacy."
That's big talk" said the confed-
crate, as he looked away into the
bushes.
But it's also true talk. You ought
to be able to figure it out for yourself.
Grant is gaining every day, while Lee
is losing. Where we have hundred
men killed we bring down two hundred
to replace them. Where you lose 4
hundred men it's a dead loss. You
must get to the end by and by"
And when yo've whopped us-then
what?"
"Oh, I suppose We'll go back home
and the old union will go on as before"
"What'll / git fur all I've done?"
Your discharge"
But durn my hide if hain't fit and
marched and starved fur two y'ars!"
Yes, but you won't get anything out
of it. There will! be nothing to get.
You'll lay down your arms with the
rest and 60 back to your homes"
Tiff it's goin' to be that way" said
the confederate as he glanced about,
whats the use of my hangin' on any
longer. Why not cut sticks right
away"
"You mean why not desert?" an
swered the other. That's for you to
decide. The confederates who have
come in have been well treated. Some
have enlisted to fight the Indians, and
some have been sent home. If you want
to surrender to me I'll send you into
camp"
"But what's yo'r idea O. this deser-
ton bizness?"
I'll teh you squarely. The more of
you that come in the sooner the war
will end, but look upon common dog
as way above descrter."
"Shoo! Shoo!"
"If | was in the confederate army I'd
march barefooted, live On roots and
sleep without cover before I'd desert.
I'd do it in the first place ort of prin-
ciple, and secondly, because when the
end comes not man OF you will have
anything but war record as reward
for your services. All who live through
1t VIII get an honorable discharge, and
wives and children and neighbors will
welcome them home. Things will set
tie down, and after time the south
will be in control of herself again. Then
the men who stuck to their flag will
come to the front, but what of the de-
serters?"
"say, Yank, yo' talk, yo' dol" ex-
claimed the confederate with an admir-
ing glance.
"Well, l am in earnest"
"And durn me il yo' don't talk sense!
If our captain would only do leetle
chinpin' O. that sort we'd all feel
heap better. Yes, what of the desert
ers? When them times comes yo'
speak of he won't be in il, will he?"
mo, he won't. TIN be known and
recorded that he deserted his cause, his
flag and his comrades, and nobody will
have any use for him"

The Confederate Who Went Back
BY CHARLES B. LEWIS

confederate soldier 40 years old, his
Uniform stained and ragged and his
bearded face having an almost wolfish
look, sat on log in tlo depths of a
wood with his muskctS resting beside
MIN. He was on picket post, but there
was no particular call for vigilance
with the afternoon sun beating down
on the fields and tacit truce existing
along the front. The man sat with his
lace in his hands and his eyes on the
leaves at his feet, and for half an hour
he hardly moved. Then he slowly
Strengthened up and looked around and
growled.
"Shuck my hide if / amt tired of this
yere fussin' around! Nuthin' has come
OF 1t but heap O. walkin' and fightin'
and poor fodder, and I'm gettin' mighty
nigh the end!"
A squirrel in .tree in front of him
whisked its tail and set up a great
chatter, and the soldier instinctively
reached for his gun.
mo, it won't do" he sighed, as he
drew back his, arm. "Heaps O. fresh
meat in these woods, but it amt fur us.
Beans and bacon is the fodder for a
man as has got to march all night and
fight all day. And what am marchin'

excited. Holding out his left hand with

II thought you were coming in to
surrender"
'Shoo! Don't reckon / look like de-
serter, though l hain't got my Sunday
duds on. Yo' see, was sorter lonesome
over thar by myself, and bein' we
wasn't mad at each other thought we
might as well hev talk. How long yo

"Then yo'll never git back home

That's all stuff. Wen hev you all
in bag before the next month";"
They chafred away in the greatest
good-nature for few minutes, and
then the confederate fell silent. He
wanted to open the conversation on a
new line, but did not know how to be-
gin. The federal had suspicion OF
the real situation, and presently he said:
"A good many of your men have been
coming to our lines during the past
two weeks"
"Mebbe So" was the reply. "Thar'
are critters in both armies who are too
low down fur any use. I reckon we
don't need sich folks. What did yo'r
Gen. Grant say to thein?"
"Oh, he treated them we'll"
"Did, eh? Say, Yank, / jest fell into

eral that l stick to Gineral Lee and yo'
stick to Gineral Grant, but that amt no

CLAIMS SUCCESS.
Yellow Fever serum Produced ny DR.
DOty, of New York, Saves Lives
of Guinea Pigs.

DR.. Alvah P. Doty, the health officer
of the port of New York, is much elated
over the successful results of the expert
ments with a serum produced at his
laboratory for the prevention of yell
low fever. For the last is months DR..
Doty and his assistants have been pro-
ducing serum at the quarantine labora-
tory, and have inoculated number Of
guinea pigs previously fed with germs
of yellow fever. For some time the ex-
periments have been doubtful in their
results, but for the last month or six
weeks they have succeeded in preserv-
ing the lives of The animals, thus afford
ing evidence of the value of the serum
in the prevention of yellow fever.
DIR. Doty says he will send samples of
the serrm to his agents at Havana,
where 1t is expected that il will be used
with more success in the preservation
Of the lives OF yellow fever patients.
