The Tines Daily Short Stoo.


Telegraph keys are continually clatter-
ing and the key on the table was no
exception. But il did. not appear to
the dozer that the sound was oH the
table It was rather down on the floor
and at times directly beneath him.
Presently be got himself awake and
started up to listen. All was perfectly
silent Lying down. be was soon IN the
same semisomnolent condition as be-
fore-he dared not 60 TO sleep while on
duty and now the clicking recom-
meneed in a more pronounced manner,
and 1t seemed TO be In the head Of the
lounge on which he rested. He began
TO take note Of the letters and read the
message he had just received. It was
very singular, he thought. that it could
be clicking in his pillow Was he not
dreaming? or was he really receiving
the message? Or was its sender re-
peating it to make sure Of accuracy
Presently the messenger returned
with a dispatch which stated that al
was right and General Morgan would
be on hand. This was sent over the
wire. Then the officer unscrewed the
instrument and, taking it with him,
rode away with his men.
The next morning, when the two de-
tachments Of Confederate cavalry
made a joint attack on the bridge and
trestle. as agreed. they found an over
whelming force drawn up at both ends
to oppose them. They proceeded with
the attack, only TO draw of with a
number Of killed and wounded and the
loss Of some prisoners. Among the
latter was the officer who had received
the telegraph message for General
Morgan the night before. The captured
officers were taken to the Union gem
erals headquarters.

"Well. you needn't take the trouble
to use any Of our telegraph stations

Jenny. you may remember, was not
open underneath. 1t was hollow and
there was a lid to it, Thinking /
might some time receive call from
you, had fixed an instrument In
side tie lounge, and when heard you
cIatter up to the office, got in and
closed the itd over me. l heard the
message you received and transmitted
It to the general here. What feared
was that you would hear the click Of
my instrument"
Il did" said the officer, opening his
eyes, 'but being tired with hard rid
ing / was drowsy ard thought 1t was
a repetition"

the government she had SO well served

Those were times when raids we're
made by the Confederates behind the
Union armies for the purpose Of har-

JenIF's post was far in the rear Of
the Union advance, but she knew that
at any time the town was liable to be
captured and the first place tie raid
ers always took possession Of was
the telegraph Office. Jenny used to
wonder what she should do II they
swooped down upon her Office, and her
thoughts finally resulted in plan Of
action IN such an event.
One night a cavalry force command

leader, General John Morgan. came
riding into town and half a dozen men
under an officer went straight for the
telegraph office on the second floor Of
a small frame building. Dismounting,
they hurried upstairs and threw open
the door, with drawn revolyers ready
to cover the operator; but there was
no operator there. A Kerosene lamp
was burning on the table TO which
the telegraph instrument was fixed.
There were several chairs, looking
glass hanging to the wall and a lounge.
These were every article in the room
