GENERAL paHLGKEN's LEG.

Captain Ballard of Fairfax county.
Va, who was elected lieutenant com
mander of Mosby's men at their re
cent reunion. relates an interesting
incident growing out of the famous
Dahlgren raid near Richmond during
the civil war. 1t seems that on this
raid Captain Ballard came into pos
session of General Dah1gren'S cork
leg, and, being badly in need of one
himself, he naturally pressed the cap
tured one into service. The fit was
perfect and he wore it throughout the
remainder of the war and it con.
tinued to see service until some years
later. About that time the family OF
General Dahlgren undertook to locate
the missing artificial member. and
went so far as to offer a reward OF
$1,000 for its recovery 1t was easily
located, and a number of detectives
attracted by the big reward, set out
ON the perilous task of securing pos
session of the .long-lost and much
sought-after cork leg. Captain Bal
lard was ever on the alert, and failure
crowned every attempt to capture it.
Finally the detectives withdrew in
disgust and Captain Ballard was left
in undisputed possession of the cap
tured property. The captain. how
ever, shortly afterward relented some
what and opened up communication
with the DahIgren family, and stated
that upon the receipt of the reward of
$1,000 he would deliver tie limb tc
any one the family might designate.
The committee was selected from the
Dahlgren side and on a given date
Captain Ballard met them at Fairfax
Station. The necessary formalities
were gone through with. The $1,000
was passed over to Captain Ballard
and he in turn delivered the artificial
member. 1t was Immediately taken
charge of by one of the trusted ennis
saries of the Dahlgren family and de
posted in the railway train waiting
at the station and for a moment left
unguarded. At this juncture some of
the captains most loyal friends en-
tered the car and in less time than it
takes to relate this story the cork leg
was recaptufed and to this day it has
never been located, so the story goes
Great was the chagrin and disappoint
ment depicted on the faces of those
directly concerned in it's return Cap
tain Ballard vouches for this nara:

A SOLDIER IN LUzoN.

A SOLDIER IN LUZON.
At the open flap of his narrow tent
hangs strip of the midnight
skies,
Pricked thro' by a myriad points OF
light, that flash in his tired
eyes;
He has walked from a dream of sum-
mer day, and now, with throb
of pain,
He pillows his head on his young
right arm, and summons the
dream again.
A pathway barred by shadows and
shine, a glow in the golden
west;
A song in the rustling leaves o'erhead,
as a bIuebird bushes its nest;
A slip of a girl in a muslin gown,
cadet in a coat of gray
But the slim little hand he clasps in
his is a half of the world away!
Thro' the vibrant hush of the starry
night huns the life of a tropic
cline,
And under the breast of his khaki
blouse the heart of the lad beats
time.
In a land where an endless summer
And a wandering wind steals into his
tent and carries away a sigh!

zine.

He lad not touched a drop.

eyed Nemesis, which he promptly did,
but the denoument was most humilia-
ting to me, and not what had looked
for. Seeing that 1 had Tilted the love
ly Miss Dyson, Jack made violent love
to her himself, and was graciously ac-
cepted. That 1 did not. out of pique,
marry the red-haired derelict on life
troubled sea, was owing to circum-
stances over which l had, providen-
TALLY, complete control.
After Jacks marriage he moved out
to Denver, and nothing unusual hap
pened for a time. 1 began paying
compliments to a beautiful girl in my
set, and the date of our marriage was
finally announced. Jack was urged to
come on for the wedding, but he had
some impending mining scheme on
hand and begged to be excused. He
sent US a telegram, received just after
the ceremony, congratulating US, and
added the startling information that
he had just secured divorce!
The inevitable climax to this see
saw double existence came one morn
ing early in June. 1 had gone to the
ST. Paul building, having business
with an architect whose Office was To-
Gated On the sixteenth floor. Eight
persons were in the elevator as we as
cended. Suddenly, without warning.
the cogs supporting the car gave way.
and we shot downward with fncon-
ceivable rapidity. A crash, and dark
ness followed; but to this day 1 have
no remembrance of any pain Four
out of the eight people in the car were
killed outright, the others, save my
self, badly injured. 1 alone miracu-
lously escaped unhurt.
That afternoon I received a telegram
from Denver announcing my brothers
sudden death. 1 boarded the first
train for the West in order to take
charge of his remains. On reaching
my destination l was not startled
when the facts of his mysterious de-
had been found on the floor of
his Office, dead from conclusion of the
brain.
1t was supposed to be the work of
an assassin, but no trace of the Grim
inal could be discovered
l had my own suspicious on that
point, however, which 1 did not care
to dilvulge, as the tragedy had oc-
CURED, as nearly as could be ascer-
tanned, at the same hour as the acct
dent to the elevator.
The mysterious tie that bound us
together in this our mortal life has
been snapped asunder, but I still find
myself indulging in the widest specu-
lations as to the future. Jack was a
good and true man and has doubtless
reached happier and more perfect
sphere of existence. Will the magic
tie hold good beyond the grave, and
will l. therefore he doomed TO 11tter
hopelessness?
But enough of this 1 will go and
take another peep at the children, for
tunately not twins-and then to bed
and restful dreams
