Thanks" and Bushnell pulled him.
self to his feet. The two men shook
hands. Goodbye" he said.
Bushnell dropped back into his chair
as the door closed. His head fell for
ward on his hands, and the bitterness
and futiiity of it all weighted him down.
The rush and roar of the street drifted
in through the window and filled the
room, but he did not hear il, for he was
far away. He had left that little village
in the Catskills full Of hope and pur-
pose-it was not long ago in time. but
how long in events!-and for space it
seemed he was to win his battle against
the street. For he had determined to
win. 1t had come upon him suddenly
the fever to show the stuff that was in
him-and he had thought it all out one
moonlight night away up on the side Of
Wy Mountain. He had lads his plans
carefully and had dreamed Of millions.
But the odds had been too great, and he
had been caught in the ruins of the edi.
flee. which his own brain had built, and
crushed utterly. But the bitterest
thought of all was that he must 60 back
empty-handed, when he had hoped to
take SO much. 1t was not for himself
alone he had hoped to win.
The station at Shandakin, long, low.
grimy structure. was almost deserted as
Bushnell stepped off the train the next
afternoon. Only the stage was there,
as it was every day, ready for the ten
miles journey over the hills to Lexing-
ton, and he grasped the hand Of the old
driver with real warmth.
"I'm glsi to see you, jim, he said
"How are all the folks9"
"Oh, they're all right, recken. But
you look kind er peaked. Been workin'
too hard. 'epect, Mr.. BUSHNELL
Bushnell laughed.
THAT may be it," he said. ANY way,
/ decided that week or two back here
in the bills would do me good
so twill" nodded the driver, "an'
the folks will be glad to see you, |
recken. Got any luggage!'
"OnIy this" and Bushnell held up the
grip he carried in mis- hand.
"All right. Pile in. You're the only
passenger.
Bushnell "piled in" accordingly. Jim
clambered to the front seat, clucked to
the horees, and they were off. The road
for the first few miles wound through a
wood OF stately pines, and Bushnell lay
back in his seat and took great breaths
of the fragrant air, and felt his pulse
beating with renewed vigor Up and
up climbed the coach toward the
notch mere dent in the chain oil
mountains, and the air grew cool and
bracing. A brook splashed along by
the side of the road, and Bushnell re-
membered with peculiar vividnees how
many trout he had caught in it when be
was boy. He felt his hands itching
to get bold Of pole again, and the nos.
talgia of asphalt and crowded streets,
which had been on him for the past two
years, slipped him imperceptibly.

O9A0@fA8fAN8TNOr'"O -"
m,.sissippI Confedsratos, Pensioners OF
Other States.
Tho following personal letter is pub
lished for the purpose of calling public
attention to what we consider defec'
in the pension laws of the Southern
States. 1t is from Gen. Edward IL
Lombard, a director of the Louisians
Soldiers Home:
NV Dear Comrade-I write to ask you t.
aid m Q in keeping an old hero in our Soldiers
Home His name Is Thomas Hunfer, of the
Twelfth Mississippi infantry. His right arm
ia off above the elbow. / put him in the
home about two months ago, and when the
inv estiRating committee took up his case
the poor old man was turned down because
he has not resided in the State five years,
and 1t was also charged that he was draw
ING a pension from the State of Mississippi.
This the old man has disproved by letter
from W. N. Downing, chancery clerk at
Raymond, bearing date August Gath. He
was refused pension because he did not
reside in Mississippi. After he was turned
down by our board, moved to keep him
one month and this was agreed to.
The board of directors will meet next
Saturday. Will you not get Governor
Lowry, General Hooker and Others to unite
with you in strong letter requesting the
board to shelter the old man until other
arrangements can be madea
Is it not about time that the legisla-
lures of the Southern States should
agree upon some uniform rule for the
distribution of pensions to INDECENT
and deserving Confederates? Missis-
sippi has repeatedly refused to provide
a home, preferring to distribute her
pension fund to all, regardless of their
period of residence in the State. Our
idea is that Comrade Hunter should be
a beneficiary of the Mississippi pension
fund so long as he lives, regardless OF
where he resides. And Louisiana, Ala
bama and Tennessee Confederates re-
siding in Mississippi should be alike
remembered by the States under whose
calls they enlisted, and under whose
flags they fought.
1t would be much more creditable to
our State to provide home for the two
hundred or more disabled and destitute
veterans, like Comrade Hunter, who
have to go elsewhere for food and shell
ter, than to be increasing the fund.
with the absolute certainty of increas-
ing the number of beneficiaries, scores
and scores of whom are absolutely un-
worthy. Within the next twenty
years nearly all the old veterans will
have passed to 'the home over there.
In the meantime the State will best at
test its gratitude for their services by
giving them protection and shelter un-
til the time shall come when each shall
rest under the shade of the trees" in a
brighter and better country.
