DISTANT GUNS.

A faint tinge of light appeared in the
east. The moon, whose tipped face
was sinkin in the west as though 1t
were dropping asleep after its nightly
vigil, began to lose Its golden hue and
take on silver gray under the COM
ing sunlight. There was the hush which
precedes the opening Of day. Here and
there on either shore a bird that, had
not yet set out for its winter resort
was chattering over Its work of get
ting breakfast. Above us was an is
land, and half mile above the island
was Doughty's ferry-the ferry we
sought. Pulling into little cove near
the north end, and dragging the bow of
the boat up on the shore, we threw our
selves on the ground, and in five min
utes were sound asleep.
We were awakened by men shouting
orders, and as soon as could raise my
heavy eyehds saw o column of con-
federate cavalry riding down the east
bank to the river. Following the ford,
their course lay directly off the island
on which we were concealed. Most Of
their officers were well clad in con-
federate gray, while the men wore any
thing, chiefly "butternut." They
splashed across the river, striking the
road on the opposite side leading from
the ferry.
They're going for the plantation" I
exclaimed.
"Harkl What was that3 Distant

"Thunder7 Not in November. That
was q gun, and not morning gun
either. My Gods, it's afternoonl
There's fight going on somewhere"
Another gun"
"Of to the west, in the direction of
the plantation. Isee how tits. They're
attacking Wilton, or the general, If he
is there"
BY this time the cavalry had reached
the road on the west bank, and soon
after the last files disappeared behind
the hills.
Il think we had better pull for the
west ferry" said Margaret. They're
doubtless going to join in the fight,
and we'll have little difficulty in fol-
lowing the road In their wake"
Launching our boat, we pulled to the
west shore, striking 1t a short distance
below the ferry. climbed the emf
nence. and saw that the coast was
clear.
"All right" said, returning to Mar
garet. There's no obstacle in sight;
we can take to the land and let the
boat go. Good-by, old skiff," and I
pushed 1t out into the stream. lyon

l heard a din in the opposite direc-

us and the plantation. Through gap
ut the summit came q scattered body
OF cavalrymen. 1t was easy to see that
they were fugitives. Down they came,

A single horseman shot through the

where I stood that day with the girl
who had endured with me SO many

Our men were coming like the wind,
but not too fast for me to recognize the
man who rode at their head. Rider and
horse dashed on like centaur, with
huge leaps, the horses eyes not more
cleaning, his nostrils not more dis
tended, than those of the general.
There was shock between the two
opposing lines, a shouting, swearing,
volleys. The confederates were en-
barrassed with their panic-stricken COM
rades; the union troops made wedge
through their center and sent them
flying down the road.
The general having ordered pur-
suit, turned his horses head and rode
leisurely back.

past without seeing US.
I expected to see his face light up
with joy; instead, as soon as his eyes
rested upon us, he started, and looked
at us ominously.

Without needing my words, he

There is more Catarrh in this section of the

incurable. For great many years doctors pro.

local treatment pronounced 1t incurable. Sci

in those parts, and had no actual bust

fascinated interest in what was going

A QUESTION SETTLED.
The Matter of the Right to Will the Home
stead,

The Matter of the Right to Will the Home
stead.
The supreme court has in the last
few days rendered an important decis-
ion which settles the mooted question
of right of a person to will the home
stead. The opinion was filed in a
Barnwell case entitled "Augusta A. d.
Bostick, plaintiff, appellant VS.. Eloise
Chovin, defendant, respondent" and
was prepared by Associate Justice
Pope.
In the course of the opinion the
court says:
"The circuit judge held that devise
was legitimate mode of alienation
by the owner of land so as to fit the
statutory requirements which, in effect,
held that no way existed whereby the
right of homestead might be waived
except by alienation of mortgage; but
this court when it was called upon to
review this decision Of the circuit
Judge held that while in the broadest
sense alienation covered devise yet
that in the construction of the statute
devise was not the alienation embraced
in such instrument. Such being the
case this court held that the circuit
Judge was in error and ordered that
the widow should be allowed the
homestead. No doubt the circuit
Judge in the case at bar, was infu'
enced by this decision in reaching his
conclusion. A distinction is suggested
