street's eyes the boy soldier ran away.
THE general summoned him after
She battle. The lieutenant came, fear
eul and penitent.
DO you know should have you
shot, sir? Numbered the officer.
"'Yes, sir replied the boy. 4 don't

want to, or give me my gun, and I'll

his impudence, then said: IN do it,
I'm the next fight 1 was at the front
with Longstreet. There was that boy,
mot boy, but fiend of battle, shout
ang, cheering, whooping, at the very
front in every charge. Two men had to
drag him away when we were forced
back.
AFTER the fight Longstreet promptly
had his straps returned to him. Again
the youngster went in as an officer,
and again he ran. For the second time
Longstreet put the boy back in the
ranks in disgrace, only to reappoint
him after a fight. AS usual, the boy
lieutenant ran.
Then, before he could be summoned
ne sought out the generals tent. Long
street looked at him sourly.
"'What do you want?'
'"The lad flung his sword on the
ground and tore the straps from his
shoulders. Take your d-n old sword,
he said. 4 wouldn't have it. I'm going

its close with the Springfield muzzle-

the things that happened after one regi-
