 we are not general and private now, lad. You are just the son of my dear old friend I have come to say good"- the general hesitated moment, sgood night to you"
 "I am glad it isn't good-by, sir. T. I-don't want--to die now. I want to live and do more for the south. If I'd only--got my wound-fn battle, when Twas doing something."
 Never mind, my boy" said the old man, "you are wounded under your flag, in the service of your country. Nothing could be more noble"
 'Thank you, sir Oh, doctor-can't you give-Ine something so-that can get a--little sleep? It--hurts so! And 1t hurts Sister Mary--to see me suffer" .'I will give you something" said the doctor, turning away, "and perhaps you can sleep"
 Good night, general
 The old general went to the head of the bed, hcsitated moment, stopped down and pressed his lips upon the boys brow.
 Good night, my boy, and God bless you"
 Followed by Pleasants, he walked slowly and sadly through the door and stood outside the casemate listening. '.Now, Annan," said the doctor, com ing back, drink this, and then per haps you can get little sleep."
 You will-stay with-me, Sister Mary? And you, too. Dr. Bampney ?' said the boy, as he quaffed the draft.
 we will not leave syou." said the clergyman quietly.
 "Never again." said Mary brokenly. I "You can't say that-Ssster Mary. Because-wllen Lam well--I must go on duty more.''
 .Yes, when you are we'll"
 Sister Mary" said the boy, after a little pause, wont you sing me some thingy'
 She did not think she could frame a note with her sinking heart, yet what could she do?
 "What do you wish me to sing, Bev- erly, dear?"
 "sing me-some of the songs--you used to sing.' (Which one?"
 "The 'Mocking Bird'"
 God, who had given her the voice, gave her the power to use it. How she did 1t she could not tell. Kneeling there by the bed, she sang the old song, the song that brought up the 1 days of the past; the song of the man l who had loved her and was gone-whO

 "Thank you" he murmured, rousing himself a. little. 1T won't ask--you to --sing any more-Sister Mary. You must be- tired"
 'I will sing more if you want me to, brother"
 'No; I'm-going-to sleep now," he gasped out. Do you remember howa mother-used to have us--kneel-at her knee every night? haven't-for- gotten-that prayer. I always say it. We'll all--say 1t. And-then--I'll go--- to-sleep and be-better-in the morn ing.
 Now I-lay-me-down to--sleep. I pray-the-Lord' -"
 The old doctor finished the prayer alone in the silence. The opiate the doctor had given the boy had at last taken effect, and the sufferer drifted out to sleep, He would be better in the morning.
 Ah how many sufferers have been, cheered through long nights of pain by, that sad, elusive hope-better in the morning!

 How peaceful it looks! And you were thinking off,
 ''Of my father and brother, sir; of home and mother, and Mary Amman up the bay"
 The night, the silence, the loneliness, made the young man more communi- cative. The admiral inspired confi- dence and welcomed it. He had known Peyton ever since the latter gradu- ated from the academy, and the younger man loved him with unusual affection, which the admiral recipro- cated in full.
 "Ah, that's her name, is itT' said the old sailor, gently and kindly. "Well, pray God that we may come through safely, and that there will be no more heartaches in homes than is absolutely necessary" He laid his firm, well shaped hand upon the young officers shoulder in a kindly, sympathetic touch. "Keep a bright lookout, Pey- ton," he said at last, ''and don't hesi tate to call me if anything suspicious occurs It would not surprise me if Buchanan came out with the ram to attack us at any moment. It would disappoint me dreadfully If he did, though. want to catch him inside, now that we are ready, and finish up the whole job at one blow. Where's the ensign of the watch?'

had died on the hills of Chickamauga ship beneath the alien flag. 1t brought back days of happiness and hours of. joy, sweet dreams of the past. Low and clear and sweet as the notes of the bird the song rose in the air. Outside the casemate the two officers listened. The sentry on the ramparts stopped entranced. The men of the garrison, led by the artilleryman, crowded nearer, listening with beating hearts. Hats were removed from heads, and heads were bowed as the music rose and fell As the last note died away the trumpet from the ramparts sound ed retreat call and the colors came dropping gently down the staff.
 Within the casemate all was silent < That's a good song," said Beverly faintly at last. Ut almost makes-me forget--the pain-sing more"
 "A hymn this time, BeverlyT
 "Yes, this time-a hymn"
 s'What shall it be?"
 "My Faith Looks Up to Thee That's good-hymn-doctor-for q soldier"
 ssYes, it's a good one for anybody, Beverly
 There are harder things than fight ing battles-things that women have to do. To sing that hymn, to keep the throat clear and the heart down, to sing in the face of death itself, with anguish gnawing at the soul-to lead charge, to die on field, were child's play by it. The boy listened with closed eyes and compressed lips. The woman sang with every fiber in her being vibrating with pain and grief, with despair accompanying the notes, yet she never stopped nor faltered. her voice never broke. Honor and duty bade her sing, and she inf1exibly followed their behests.
 Rich and full rose the rare contralto voice with it's deep note of passion. Mary Amman had never sung so well before, and she would never sing so well again perhaps. The words and music of the mighty hymn rolled through the casemate and out throughs the citadel of the fort, where the off, cers and men, wet eyed, listened in the twilight:
 ''when ends life's transient dream,
 When deaths cold sullen stream
 Shall OCT me roll,
 Blest Saviour, then, in love,
 Fear and distrust remove;
 Oh, bear me safe above
 A ransomed soul!'
 How still he lay, she thought as she looked down upon him-how very still Was 1t over? Had so ended life's transient dream for him? Not yet Q

 "When was on the Essex, I remem- Der, as midshipman, just turned eleven years of age, I went to sleep lying on gun carriage in midwatch one night. The watch officer saw me, and instead of waking me up he actual ly covered me over with his jacket and let me sleep on," said the admiral rem iniscently. II ought to have been court martiaied for it, but I've always been grateful to him, and I've never forgot ten his reprimand either"
 ''No one on watch will sleep tonight, admiral"
 .No, suppose not There are thoughts grim enough to keep them awake now. How's the wind?"
 ''Little enough, sir; but what there is Is from the southwest
 'That is where we want it. Looks black oyer there too"
 ''Yes, sir; I think we shall get an- other squall of rain."

R$%&Y under the guns of Fort Mor- gan, where she had been destroyed by some of the light draft gunboats of the fleet. While with party of men from the fort, endeavoring to save some of her cargo, Beverly Amman had been struck in the abdomen by piece of shell. The wound was necessarily fatal Mary Amman had been at once summoned from Mobile by telegraph and had come down to the fort on tugboat, with pr. Bampney and Ham ilton Pleasants, now colonel on Gen. eral Maury's staff. Tempe was not allowed to come, but had remained at Annandale under the care of Mrs. Pey- ton and Pink.
 Oh, the cruel, cruel war! 1t had robbed her of father and of the man who loved her; 1t had parted her from the man she loved, and now it's en- sanguined hands were reached out to take from her the last who could transmit her honored name And he was only boy, child. She might have been spared this, surely. Her eyes blurred so with tears that she could not see, yet there was thought in all her anguish-she hated herself for its lodgment in her mind-that with every passing hour she was drawing nearer to Peyton!
 As they swept past the three Con- federate gunboats they saw beyond them, between them and the channel, the great ironclad Tennessee rising above the gently tossing water like some black volcanic rock, stern, sinis- ter, menacing, impregnable! The light smoke that curled around the top of the tall stack indicated that she had steam up, and the absence of the usual deck gear would have told practiced eye that she was stripped for action. They passed close to her, so close that Willis Peyton on the superstructure recognized Mary Amman and her es- corts and lifted and waved his cap, wondering the while what had brought them down there.
 They were very near the fort now. Presently they drew up at the landing. and q few minutes toilSome walking over the shifting sandy shore brought them to the cavernous mouth of the sally port. Challenged there, they waited until the officer of the guard appeared and, recognizing them, con- ducted them into the fort and thence into the brick citadel proper. There General Peyton himself met them. He looked much as he had before the war "a little older, little whiter, little grimmer; that was all.
 There was nothing but kindness in
