"At the next breathing spell the
sergeant was hit. He held on grand
for upward OF half n mile; but soon
he turned to wabbling, and gripping
to the saddle, and grunting softly. 1t
was enough to turn a man sick to see
the poor fellow fightin that way when
there wasn't any use. for we all knew
what he was comm to, and so did he.
"Then 4 all at once his lantern
sweeped downward to the ground.
and my horse jumped him. None of
us looked back--we knew enough not
to--but we rode like fury to get out
of earshot before they found him.
"That was the first of 'em.
The bullets kept a-whizzing by with
out bit OF let-up. The gang was
strainin' crazy mad to catch us. 1t
had come down to solid business now.
Each man was riding for himself. SO
all through the night we tore on down
the vast stretch of desert, with the
rush of the niggers behind us, and
nothing but the blackness ahead.
And the lanterns were always swaying
and bobbing up aud down, with the
light circles dancing on the sand.
If they had only yelled now and then
'twould have been easier. But they
didn't, and we listened to the hard
breath of the horses and the singing
slugs. There wasn't any talking.
We were staring before us, straight in
front, trying to raise the town beyond
the skyline, and waiting always for
to sec who'd catch it next.
"rhen we began to feel that the
horses were playing out beneath us,
and with the breathing spells grow
ing longer and more often, the niggers
gained. The next man was shot dead,
and wo didn't have to shut our teeth
for him. But over and over again it
happened just the same; the soft
grunting, the swaying in the saddle,
that horrible choking thud as he
struck the ground, and the rest iab-
bing our horses like wild men to get
as far away from him as we could. We
had set out, you see, to carry the
papers through-we had to do it--and
by the time we lifted the town lights
over the horizon there were three of

that caught me in the face. Things
got funny after that. The colonel
said was talking silly when we got
in. Well, I scarcely think the COM
pany is paying me to stand round here
idling and spinning yarns like this.
I'll see you again sometime"
And the officer passed forward
along the deck to disappear in the
thick darkness that had settled down
over the ship.

wnen IL Was Dark.

The Cleveland Plain Dealer says an
riucated colored man addressed tho
students of Adelbn-t college the other
day. He told about lis experience in
his chosen profession. that of lawyer,
asserting that on but one occasion had
he ever met with discourtesy at the
hands of white men during his legal
experience in his native state. Virginia.
This happened in a backwoods hamlet,
where the general ignorance Of the in
habitants was some excuse for their
boorishness. In the course of his re-
marks he perpetrated an unconscious
bit of humor that brought a smile to
the students faces and drew a laugh
from the speaker himself as soon as he
realized the suggestion in his state
ment. 81 started out in my profess

THE SILENT MARCH.

When the march begins in the morning
And the heart and foot are light,
When the flags arc all a-flutter
And the world Is gay and bright,
When the bugles lead the column
And the drums are proud in the van,
It's shoulder to shoulder, forward, march!
An let him lag who can
For It's easy to march to music
With your comrades all In line,
And you don't get tired. YOU feel inspired,
And life Is Il draught divine.
When the march drugs on at evening
And the color-bearers gone,
When the merry strains are silent
That piped 80 brave in the dawn,
When you miss the dear old fellows
Who started out with you,
When it's stubborn and sturdy, forward,
march!
Though the ragged lines are few.
Then it's hard TO march in silence.
And the road has lonesome grown,
And life is n bitter cup to drink.
But the soldier must not moan.
And this Is the task before us,
A task We may never shirk,
In the gay time and the sorrowful time
We must march and do our work.
We must march when the music cheers us,
March when the strains are dumb,
Pluck and valiant. forward march,
And smile Whatever may come.
For. whether life's hard or easy,
The strong man keeps the space.
For the desolate march and the silent
The strong soul finds the grace.

STOOD BESIDE HIS OWN GRAVE.
Read the Inscription, but Doesn't Know

Read the Inscription, but Doesn't Know
who Is Buried There.
DIR. John W. Sage, who was buried
recently at Hartford City. Ind, saw
his grave and headstone while he was
yet living, but the grave had been dug
and the stone had been carved with
out the authority and knowledge of
himself or friends. DR.. Sage was
member of one of the Indiana regi-
meuts that fought in the battle of
Chickamauga, and he was wounded
there. When he came out of the
hospital he was transferred to the re-
serve corps, where he remained until
the end OF the war.
A year ago the doctor, in company
with party of excursionists, visited
the southern bottlefields over which
he once marched. He saw the old
tree under which he slept after days
terrific engagement, III which he was
badly wounded. 1t was on this night
that he threw away his knapsack and
lay down to die alone.
While making tour of the battle
field of Chickamaugu he came upon
what purported TO be his own grave.
There could be no mistake, rs the cpl
taph on the tombstone read 'John
w. Sage, Company L, Seventy fifth
Regiment, Indiana Volunteers.
1t gave him quite shock when he
saw it there. He never learned the
correct name of the soldier buried
there, although he made thorough
investigation.
The doctor received n communca-
tion from DIR. G. S. Arthur of Port
land, Ind, who during the war was
on duty in hospital, Arthur writes
that on Saturday, Sept. 10, 1868, Sage
came to the hospital for treatment,
after which he returned to his regi-
ment. On the following Sunday after
noon man was brought to Arthur's 8
hospital, near Crawford Springs, Ga. !,
mortally wounded. The dying man
resembled Sage so closely that he was
given the name of Sage of Company
#, Seventy-fifth regiment, Indiana
volunteers.
The man wns attired in n cavalry
mans uniform, but nothing was
thought of this, as some of the
members of the Seventy fifth were
compelled to care for themselves as
best they could, and Arthur naturally
concluded that Sage had appropriated
dead cavalryman's clothes. He
thereby made mistake, which after
ward proved very embarrassing to
Sage and his relatives.
Arthur afterward met Sage in Win
chester, Ind, where, after explana-
tions We're made, Sage told Arthur
that on going into battle on that Sat
urday he laid aside his knapsack, in
which were testament, diary and some
letters from Winchester, Ind. The
knapsack was taken by the cavalry
man resembling him, and thus became
the cause of further complications.
The supposedJohn w. Sage was buried
by DIR. Arthur, DR.. John McCurdy aud
DR. G. w. Fowler of Youngstown,
Ohio; DR.. Frank Morris of the Thirty
! fifth Ohio Volunteer infantry, A. H..
Shafier of Huntington, Ind, and o. l..
Herrick of the Thirty-fourth Illinois

battlefield of Chickamauga unmo-

Yesterday.

City Marshal Casey of this city,

jail breaker from the prison at
Magnolia, Ark. Mr.. Casey tells
the reporter that the sheriff went
inside the Jail to feed the prisoners
eight in number, and that they
made rush on him, secured his
pistol and shot him, iniicting a
wound, the gravity of the same not
known.
The people formed posse and
battle took place in or near the
town, and four of the escaped men
we're shot and captured, besides
three other escapes were caught
though not wounded. The man
who shot the sheriff and carried of
his pistol succeeded in getting away
and was still at large when the
message came last night.
Marshal Casey has his description
and the officers are all on the look
out today to make the capture.

Probably most writer's of serial sto-

receiving letters of commendation or
disapproval from interested readers
who are following up the stories as
they appear in their regular weekly or
monthly installments- Occasionally
some curious person asks for private
information as to what the outcome is
to be, while others offer suggestions
as to the disposition to be made of the

thor is to marry the hero to the wrong
woman.
