ambition prodded him again. This time
he tackled the bike in the back yard.
and he did Lot lose consciousness until
he had seen a hundred feet of board
fence go down before his onslaught.
Then he apparently concluded that the
bike was not for him and said no more.
When Mr.. Bowser reached home the
other evening, there was a look on his
face that puzzled Mrs. Bowser. 1t was
a hard, determined. desperate look, the
look of a man who had made up his
mind to stop the water from pouring
over Niagara falls or know the reason
why. 1t was hard to guess whether he
had decided to cut off the gas, paint
the house a bright yellow or have an
aching tooth yanked out. She asked
him no questions, and he carried that
look all through the dinner hour. Even
when his favorite lobster salad came
on his face softened not line, and the
cook turned pale and made UP her
mind that that was her last night in
the house For half an hour after din

and one who noticed the tyitching of
his ears and heard him gritting his
teeth might have reasoned that he was
planning murder. At last he spoke:
'Mrs. Bowser boy will be along

"You may get broken leg or some

down to the corner and turned about
and rode the length Of the block, and
this he repeated fourteen times before
he drew up at his own curbstone and
dismounted His wheel had scarcely
wabbled during the whole time. He
had come off with dignity and victory.
He had met the enemy, and the enemy
was his. Mrs. Bowser came down to
welcome him, the boys cheered, and
the adults clapped their hanGs, and as
he assembled the steps he carelessly and
indifferently Observed
"Tbank you. Mrs. Bowser. Yes, en-
joyed my little spin very much in

And Mrs. Bowser shed tears and
couldn't say word, and the cat looked
solemn and wondered if all the legends
of that house were to be overturned.

do nothing to get even, then he was no

or die, and nothing but an earthquake
can stop me-"
swell, | know how it will be-" sighed
Mrs Bowser. There are dozens of
people sitting out and dozens Of boys
around. The people will be watching,
ready to make fun of you, and the
boys will do their best to bring about
an accident. Teams will stop and
loafers gather, and when you take a

If death must come to you, l will hope

Mr.. Bowser's face softened for q
minute as she turned away, but only
for minute. The cat was left sitting
on the front steps, and she walled out
a sad meow, but without even glance
at her he walked out to the curbstone
where the boy was holding the bike
A ripple of excitement ran up and
down the block. People sauntered
down to their gates, and the crowd of
boys closed in around Bowser and
nudged each other and whispered:
Hell be flung on his earl

carefully remarked that the tires didn't

"Why don't some one stop that man

The remarks had no effect on Mr.. Bow

RN IDING on a raid in wartime
81 ~ gives the troopers engaged a
IVA taste OF the real romance and
# Va excitement of war. Ii the
ride happens to be over the
border into peaceful territory of the
enemy, as was the case when John
Morgan's Kentucky band crossed Cum
berland river from Tennessee into
their native state July s, 1862, SO much
the better for romance. And there
were enough Yankee swords and bayo-
nets along the route to furnish excite
ment for the invading host.
Morgan's men were Kentuckians
who had gone over to the Confederacy,
and their state remaining neutral, the
only way to serve the southern cause
was to fight with the armies outside
of it. After the southern repulse at
Shiloh in April the leaders in the west
once more cast their eyes eagerly upon
Kentucky, which had been wholly lost
to them by the victories Of Thomas and
Grant in January and February, 1862.
General Bragg headed his battallons
toward the Kentucky border. His start
ing point was Chattanooga, on the
southern border of Tennessee. About
the center of east Tennessee the Con-
federates, under General Kirby Smith,
held Knoxville, and Morgan rode out
as the advance guard of Smiths to test
the temper of the Kentucky people AND
the mettle of the boys i'll blue who
were guarding the strategic points be-
yond the Ohio.
With 900 troopers Morgan forded the
Cumberland the afternoon Of July s. A
band of Federal soldiers had watched
the approach of the invaders, but kept
out of sight, and Morgan rushed for
ward to the first post Of the enemy
which lay in his pathway. This was
the village of Tompkinsville, garri-
soned by about 200 men Of the Ninth
PENNSYLVANIA cavalry under Major L.
J. Jordan.
1t was Jordan's band that Morgan
heard of, but didn't see at the ford.
Jordan had news Of Morgan's coming
and went to the river to meet him. 1t
was all a game Of hide and seek, for
Jordan marched back to Tompkinsville,
seeing nothing Of the enemy.
Early on the morning Of July the
Pennsylvania troopers were aroused to
prepare for action. While they were
feeding and cleaning their mounts the
camp was alarmed by picket firing
out on the river road. Before the horses
