pIvIsIoN OF PENSION.

George Burdette appealed from the ac-
fion of the Pension Bureau awarding one
half his pension to his wife, Barbara G..
Burdette. The decision on the appeal
says asst Sec'y Miller, Aug. IL, 1903,
serial No. 80:
''It is contended. on behalf of pensioner
in his said appeal that the evidence shows
that claimant deserted the pensioner: that
she left him without just cause and iinme-
diately thereafter filed her application for
divorce, which suit was subsequently dis
missed: that the court in rendering a judg.
divorce incorporated an additional pro-
from her home. the condition being that
the opportunity for her return was to be
maintained, which condition has been com
piled with; that in her subsequent pro-
eeedings for contempt for nOn-payment of
aiimony her petition was dismissed.
Claimant. in her answer to said appeal
admits that her bill for divorce was dis
missed, but contends that the judge stated
orally:
".That he was satisfied the appellant
had not treated his wife as husband
should, and also that his children had been
guilty of rude and cruel conduct toward
ker, and The court was satisfied the same
WAS done with his knowledge; that the
court would dismiss the bill and thereby
give him an opportunity of restoring his
said wife to his home and treating her
better in future than he had III the past;
etherwise he would have to pay the sum
81 $1.5O per week as alim0ny.'

he much preferred his present situation
| to what he had feared, for his mind had

felt safe, for he recognized in him the
prisoner who had escaped from Freeman
on the night of the 9th. and that prisoner

too, had Morgan recognized HaNlpy. even
at once; for the Sergeant, being told that
Ereeman's company was near, felt great
er interest in his individual enemies than
Yet neither of these experienced soldiers
thought it wise 10 betray the fact that
he knew the other.
Morgan and West held n council, and
it was decided that the imperative duty
resting upon the signal men in conse-
quence of the alarming news of Meade'>
advance prohibited their encumbering
themselves with prisoner; the signal men
must get to their work at once. and the
captive could not be taken to Lees army.
Moreover West was strong in his opinion
that Hawley should be paroled
"Of course, Sergeant, l know he won't
observe any such parole; but it will have
IN effect. He will be more than ever
convinced that we are not bushwbackers
What l want. Morgan. is to give him no
cause to harry the people; he has already
said the neighbors are going to ketch the
devil for my work.
I'VE can not keep him." said Morgan.
The signal men were getting ready; they
would return to the spot pointed out on
the preceding day, wave their informa-
tion, which their comrades would repeat,
and then would recrOss the river, for both
Morgan and West had complete confidence
that SWANS news was valid and con-
elusive. AS for Morgan and his men, the
very contingency that had come would
cause their remaining in LOiidOun. Stuart
having commanded that in case of Meade's
advance the Sergeant's little force should
not attempt to overtake Lees army, which
would at once march up the Valley; but
should, on the contrary, attach itself to
MOsby, not only for its own protection.
but also that strength should be added
to the Majors against the Federals when
they should have passed on to the Kappa
hammock. No, it was impossible to hold
the prisoner.
"Well. Usher. we'll let him loose on
parole; but suppose he won't accept"
"Then We must let him escape" said
West
But Hawley showed no reluctance to
give his parole, which in duplicate was.
written out in form as accurate as the
could remember, and was will
ingly signed.
SO Hawley started eastward afoot, and
at once Morgan's party began to move
south, while the signal men went west
Morgan intent upon heading around Free
man and all other Federals, and getting
to Mosby before the ehemy's advance
should cut him off.
And Squire had little comfort in the
that his own name would once
more get to Freeman's ears.

A GOOD RECOMMENDATION.

"I have noticed that the sale on Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets is almost invariably to those who have once used them," says J. H. Weber, prominent druggist of Gas cade, Iowa. What better recommenda- tion could any medicine have than for people to call for it when again in need of such remedy? Try them when you feel dull after eating, when you have bad taste in your mouth, feel bilious have no appetite or when troubled with constipation, and you are certain to be delighted with the prompt relief they afford.
