''Joe, why have You done this?"his
father asked.
''For the same reason that other
men are doing the same thing; be-
sides, it looks to me as if family of
five men ought to produce at least one
soldier"
Yes, it does look that way" his
mother said, in a hard, unnatural
tone; "and 1 don't see how any of the
rest could be spared. I hope you'll
keep your wits about you, aud try to
understand what's said TO you, and
not bring any" she hesitated,
came near saying "more," but flu
ished, "any discredit on u.s."
"Ill do my best, mother, as l al
ways do"
After Joe was gone he was missed
by the home folks because of the work
he had done. His older brothers
found it continual joke that Joe had
gone to be a soldier
There were letters, dutiful and
kindly, from Joe to his father and
mother. After a time he mentioned
skirmishes and battles he had been
in. Once he was wounded, and wrote
from hospital. His name was in the
newspaper lists. After seeing his
name in print Joe's family knew that
he was no longer a private. He was
mentioned as Lieutenant Joseph
Hills. There was a general pause in
the family conversation.
The mother said, "Since he was
the only one that could be spared,
I'm glad he's doing so we'll"
It was Sunday afternoon, and all
the Hills family were at the farm.
There was q step on the porch. Mr..
Hills arose aud met Mt the door a
man in soldier-blue. His face was
pale and thin and his right arm was
in a sling.
"You don't know me?" he said,
smiling; and then Mr.. Hills recog-
nized Jim Smalley, who had gone
into the army with Joe. He was
warmly welcomed, but he responded
coldly.
Jack said, "Well, 1 say, Jim, isn't

Jennie answered, with Gushing cheeks
and downcast eyes.
She lifted her eyes. Joe's face was
very near her own. The twilight was
deepening. Their lips met, and each
felt that this was their betrothal.
And 80 it came to pass that within
less than six months from the time of
the chance meeting in the shadow of
the hedge Joe Hills came home from
Bradley looking very thoughtful. After
supper he said:
''I enlisted to-day, and I'm going
into camp the first of next week. I
belong to Terry's cavalry"

mention how Lieutenant Hills, when
officer after officer was shot down,
steadily kept the men under control,
prevented a retreat, and ut last led
them, bearing the colors himself, and
captured the battery that was doing
so much harm"
'"rhen he'll be captain or something
higher?" Jack exclaimed, eagerly, and
springing from his chair.
"No, he won't be anything" :"
Smalley said, sadly.
"But why?" Mrs. Hills asked,
sharply.
Because, Mrs. Hills, came to
tell you've thought it would be bet

instead of either one of the other boys;

others were so precious. But never

seventeen and month, but he was
tall and large and looked twenty. So
be signed his name and was accepted.
It was a possibility that his mother
had never imagined. She was patri-
otic, though she averred she belonged
to the peace party. She did not be-
lieve in war. And now, not forty
miles from the farm, WAS this loud
mouthed, shoulder-strapped fellow
inyeigling her boy and others into
signing his papers. She would see
about it.
OF Mrs. Hills four sons Jack was
her favorite. Simon, the eldest was
in business, aud married. He was
already making great gains on his
merchandise because of the state of
the country and the fears of the fu-
ture. He would most assuredly not
enlist.
Eben had recently graduated from
medical college. He talked loftily
about going into the field as a surgeon
if Uncle Sam needed him. But as a
comncn soldier?-'no, thank you"
Next tR6g5 was Joe. Ii was the
general opinion in the family and the
neighborhood that Joe was good be-
cause he lacked strength of character
to be otherwise. No one knew his de-
6cieucy better than did his mother.
He had always been the stupid one of
the family. He was the drudge for
his mother and brothers.
Jack, the youngest of the quartette
of sons, was the darling of the house.
He was the brightest of the family.
And now he had enlistedl
On the evening of the day that
Major Seely had released Jack, Joe
was coming home from the Raynor
farmhouse. The Hills and the Ray
nor farms joined. Jennie Raynor met
Joe in the shadow of a hedge. OF all
the girls in the neighborhood Jennie
was the only one who had been kind
to Joe. On this evening, after talk
ing over Jack for some time, Joe said:
''If I should enlist I don't believe
mother would try to get me off,"
Jennie hesitated. She felt that Joe
spoke the truth. After a pause she
continued, 'But you won't enlist,
Joe?"

Invention as a science and art (for
it involves both knowledge and prac-
tice) is better understood both as to
its meaning and scope than it was.
Thanks to the spread Of education
and the more practical spirit of the
age, the popular ideas on the subject
are changing for the better. The field
of invention is ceasing to be regarded
as a kind of idealized Klondike or
Cape Nome, where the happy adven.

Antietam from Hagerstown to Sharps-
burg.
God alone knows who owned the
good right arm, the photograph of
which is above, but it probably be-
longed to one of General Sedgwick' s
commands, who made their famous
charge through the corndeld just
north and east Of the historic bunker
Church, for it was plowed up in this
field five years after the battle, and
has been since that time in the office
of Drs. d. Fahrney and son, of
Hagerstown, Nd. Its wonderful state
of preservation cannot be accounted
for, as a chemical analysis Of the soil
in which it was found shows no pre-
serving or mum mifying qualities.
The other picture is of the old mill
and falls just above the stone bridge
! which was the scene of a bloody con-
ai6t between the Federals, who were
defending Hager stown, and the Con-
federates, who were endeavoring to
gain possession of the town. 1t is
said the slaughter of horse and men
was such at this cavalry fight that the
Antietam ran blood for several hours
below these falls. The ground IN this
locality, especially along the banks of
the stream, is almost solid rock, and
the blood ran rapidly into the creek.
There is gentleman in Chicago,
having an Office in the Board Of Trade
Building, who was major in the
Federal army and provost marshal of
Hagerstown at that time.
Just over the hill back of the little
brick house shown in the picture is q
female academy, from the balcony of
which the Confederate sharpshooters
were firing upon the Union officers
down in the city, and there are to this
day many musket balls bedded in the
walls around the public square at the
crossing of Washington and Potomac
streets.
The Eighth Illinois Cavalry was en-
gagged in these skirmishes, and many
members of that organization, which
was under command of Colonel w.
Gamble, will call to mind the hot time
in that old town.
