How "STONEWALL" JACKSON

As the negro looked around, Glib

Glib sprang forward, seized and
tore open the envelope, then waved
it enthusiastically.

he, ''seeing that l didn't. You are

1t appeared that Glib had resign
ed. Tom hurried to his uncle, re-
signed his constableship, borrowed
SO from the squire, packed his sad
dlebags, and headed the gray mare
toward Washington, over 800 miles
away. In Two weeks, he knew, the
power OF appointment would lapse
into the hands Of the Secretary of
War. The winter roads were terri
BILE.
When the old gray gave out, Tom
sold her, and managed to go on by
stage coach, though various delays
nearly drove him wild with fear of
arriving too late. He reached the
Capital cold, hungry, tired and late
at night. Dir. Hays, though sur
prised, greeted him kindly

he said. s'The appointment passed
to the Secretary this very day"
"The day isn't over until mid
night" said jackson. sits hardly
IL o'clock yet. conldn't get here
sooner"
Again impressed by TOMS logged
earnestness, the Congressman took
him in hack to the Secretary's
house, reused that official from his
bed, and as his best excuse for such
strenuous proceedings, placed TOMS
weary, home-spun figure and simple
story before him. While the Con
gressm IN and the great war official
talked, Tom fell asleep in his chair.
The Secretary was reasonable man.
AS he-gave his ready assent, he per-
tinently added:
This is the kind Of youngster
West Point needs-he doesn't quit
easily"
The following day the appoint
meut was duly made, and Mr.. Hays
interested himself still further.
SCOT any money, Tom?" he ask
ed, with a shrewd perception of the
young man SITUATION.
Jackson confessed that his finan-
cial resources were about exhausted
by explaining that he hid walked
from Harper's Ferry, leaving his
saddlebags to come by stage. :.
"How will you reach West Point
from here? Should you fail, like
Butcher, how will you get back
homer"
81 won't fail like Glib. You have
always known me, Mr.. Hays. l al
lowed you would loan me enough to
get there-that is all l need"
Jackson's faith in himself and his
patron shone in every lineament of
his face. The Congressman's con-
stituents said that their member had
a good deal of ''horse sense" He
then evinced it by sending Tom, re-
joicing, to West Point, where he
"passed," and remained, and finally
was graduated with honor.
