document which occasioned him con-
cern. That Col. Battersleigh should
be using his tent as Office and resi-
dence--for that such was the fact even
the most casual glance must have de-
termined-was for him circumstance
offering no special or extraordinary
features. His life had been spent un-
der canvas. Brought up in the pro-
fession of arms, SO long as fighting
and forage We're good 1t had mattered
little to him In what cline he found
his home. He had fought with the
English in India, carried sabre in the
Austrian horse, ard on his private &C
count drilled regiments for the Grand
Sultan, deep within the interior of a
country which knew how to keep its
secrets. When the American civil war
began he drifted to the newest scene
of activity as metal to a magnet,
Chance sent him with the Union army,
and there he found opportunity for a
cavalry command. "A gintleman like
Battersleigh of the Rile Irish always
rides" he said, and natural horseman
as well as trained cavalryman was Bat
tersleigh. tall. lean, fiat-backed, and
martial even under his sixty admitted
years. 1t was his boast that no horse
on earth could unseat him. Perhaps
none ever had-until he came to the
Plains.
For this was on the Plains. AS all
America 8 under canvas, 1t was not
strange that Col. Battersleigh should
find his home in tent, and that this
tent should be pitched upon the West
ern Plains. Not that he had gone d.
rectly to the West after the muster
ing out Of his regiment. To the con
trary, his first abode had been in the
city Of New York, where during his
brief stay he acquired a certain &C
quaintance.
What were the financial resources
of Battersleigh after the cessation OF
his pay as cavalry officer not even his
best friends could accurately have
told. 1t was rumored that he was the
commissioner in America of the Lon

don Times. He was credited with
being a Fellow of the Royal Geo.
graphical Society. That he had a his
tory no one could doubt who saw him
come down the street with his broad
hat, his sweeping cloak, his gauntlets,
his neatly Vanished boots.
In reality Col. Henry Batterslelgh
lived, during his city life, in a small,
very small room, up more than one
flight of stairs. This room, no
larger than q tent, was military in
its neatness. Battersleigh, bachelor
and soldier, was in nowise forgetful
of the truth that personal neatness
and personal valor go well hand in
hand. The bed, very narrow one,
had but meager covering, and during
the winter months its single blanket
ratified to the touch. There's moth
ing in the world so warm as news
papers, me boy" said Battersleigh.
Upon the table, which was a box,
there was displayed always an invari-
able arrangement. Col Battersleigh' s
riding whip without which he was
rarely seen in public was placed
upon the table first. Above the whip
were laid the gauntlets, crossed at
sixty degrees. On top of whip and
gloves rested the hat, indented never
more nor less. Beyond these, the per-
sonal belongings Of Battersleigh of
the Rile Irish were at best few and
humble. In the big city, busy with re-
viving commerce, there were few who
cared how Battersleigh lived. II was
a vagrant wind of March that one day
blew aside the cloak of Battersleigh
as he raised his hat in salutation to
4 friend-a vagrant wind, cynical and
merciless, which showed somewhat of
the poverty with which Battersleigh
had struggled like soldier and gen.
tleman. Battersleigh, poor and proud,
then went out into the West.
The tent In which Col. Battersleigh
was now writing was an old one,
yellow and patched in places. In size
1t was similar to that of the bedroom
In New York, and its furnishings were
much the same. A narrow bunk held
a bed over which there was spread a
single blanket. 1t was silent in the
tent, save for the scratching of the
writer's pen; so that now and then
there might easily have been heard a
faint rustling of paper. Indeed. this
rustling was caused by the small feet
of the prairie mice, which now and
then ran over the newspaper which
lay beneath the blanket. Batters-
leigh's table was again rude one,
manufactured from box. The Wis
iDle seats were also boxes, two or
three in number. Upon one of these
sat Battersleigh, busy at his writing
Occasionally he gazei out upon
sweet blue sky. unfretted by any
cloud. His eye crossed sea of faint
ly waving grasses. The liquid call of
q msie-high mysterious plover came to
him. In the line of vision from the
tent door there could be seen no
token of human neighborhood. nor
could there be heard any sound OF
human life. The canvas house stood
alone and apart. Battersleigh gazed
out of the door as he folded his letter.
Its grand, just grand" he said. And
so he turned comfortably to the feed
ing of his mice. which nibbled at his
fingers intimately, as had many mice

uncertain and unable to escape, it
seemed apparent that the two had
found that which they had sought. The
girl, slightly in advance, ran forward
few PAGES, paused, and then ran
back "Oh, there! there!" she cried.
And then the older woman took the
girls head upon her bosom. With
barred head and his own hand at his
eyes, Franklin hurried away, hoping
himself unseen, but bearing indelibly
pictured on his brain the scene Of
which he had been witness. He wanted
to cry out, to halt the advancing col
umns which would soon be here, to
tell them that they must not come
upon this field, made sacred by such
woe.
Near the intrenchment where the
bitter close had been, and where there
was need alike for note of triumph
and forgetfulness, the band major mar
shaled his music, four deep and forty
strong, and swung out into the anthem
of the flag. The head Of the column
broke from the last cover of the wood
and came into full sight at the edge
of the open country. Thus there came
into view the whole panorama Of the
field, dotted with the slain and with
those who sought the slain. The
music of triumph was encountered by
the concerted voice of grief and woe.
There appeared for the feet of this
army not a mere road, a mere battle
field, but a ground sacred, hedged high
about, not rudely to be violated.
But the band major was poet, q
great man. There came to him no
order telling him what he should do,
but the thing was In his soul that
should be done. There came to him,
waited from the field of sorrow, note
which was command, voice which
sounded to him above. the voices of
his own brasses, above the tapping of
the kettledrums. A gesture of COM
mand, and the music ceased absolute
ly. A moment, and 1t had resumed.
The forty black horses which made
up this regimental band we're the pride
of the division. Four deep, forty
strong, with arching necks, with fore
lSSL TGdCHluS ldT dnu uIOOpilS oO4Niy,
each horse of the famous cavalry band
passed on out upon the field Of Louis
burg with such carriage as showed 1t
sensible of it's mission. The reins lay
loose upon their recks, but they kept
step to the music which they felt.
Forty horses paced slowly forward,
keeping step. Forty trumpeters, each
man with his right hand aloft, hold
ing his instrument, his left hand at mis-
side, bearing the cap which he had re.
moved rode on across the field of
Louisburg. The music was no longer
the hymn of triumph.
Softly and sadly, sweetly and sooth-
ingIy, the trumpets sang melody Of
other days, an air lorg loved in the
old-time South. And Annie Laurie,
weeping. heard and listened, and wept
the more, and blessed God for her
tears!

CHAPTER v.
The Turning Of the Road.


At the close Of the war Capt. Ed.
ward Franklin returned to shrunken
world. The little Illinois village
which had been his home no longer
served to bound his ambitions, but OF.
fered only millround OF duties SO
petty, horizon of opportunities so
restricted, as to cause In his mind a
feeling of distress equivalent at times
to absolute adherence. The perspec-
tive Of all things had changed. The
men who had once seemed great to
him In this little world now appeared
In the light of wider Judgment. as
they really were-small. boastful,
pompous. cowardly, deceitful, preten.
tious, Franklin was himself now a
man, and man graduated from that
severe and exacting school which so
quickly matured generation of
American youth. AS his hand had
fitted naturally a weapon. so his
mind turned naturally to larger things
than those offered In these long-tilled
fields of life. He came back from the
war disillusionized, irreverent, impa-
tent, and full of that surging fretful.
ness which fell upon ali the land.
To this young man, ardent, ener.
getic, malcontent, there appeared the
vision OF wide regions Of rude, active
life, offering full outlet for all the
bodily vigor of man, and appealing
not less powerfully to his imagination.
This West--no man had come back
from 1t who was not eager to return
to 1t again! For the weak and sloth-
full 1t might do to remain In the older
communities, to reap In the long-tilled
fields, but for the strong, for the
unattached, for the enterprising, this
unknown, UNEMPLOYED, uncertain coun.
try offered scene whose possibilities
made irresistible appeal. For two
years Franklin did the best he could
at reading law In country office.
Every time he looked out of the win
dow he saw white.topped wagon
moving West. Men came back and
told him of this West Men wrote let
ters from the West to friends who re-
manned In the East. Presently these
friends also, seized upon by some
vast impulse which they could not
control, in turn arranged their affairs
and departed for the West.

Tried to Pull Her Tongue Out.

Jacob Gittel, of Southington, Conn,
Is In trouble AS matter of fact the
gentleman has been in trouble for
years. His wife Is one Of these I'M
bearable nuisances which the Puri-
tans used to hold under the town
pump-a village gossip. He has tried
every argument and used every threat
to induce her TO cease her chatter
and let him sleep o. nights, but In
vain. Driven finally to desperation,
he determined to put stop for good
and all to her ince3sant talk by pull
ing her tongue out The cure would
have been heroic but effective. But,
weakened as he was by his loss of
sleep and by the continued strain on
his nervous system, the unfortunate
husband had not the strength to hold
his wife with one hand while he per.
formed the operation with the other.
She got away and complained to the
authorities. The result Is that, while
everybody sympathizes with him, the
husband is in Jail and the woman Is
still talking.

In this part OF the wood the dead
were mingled from both sides OF the
contest, the faded blue and the faded
gray sometimes scarce distinguishable.
Then there came a thickening of the
gray, and In turn, as the traveller ad-
vanced toward the fences and abattis,
the northern dead predominated,
though still there were many faces vel.
low-pale, dark-framed.
Franklin passed over the abattis,

And there he saw q sight fifty to be
called the ultimate horror of all these
things horrible that he had seen.
Over the fields of Louisburg there
came fearful sound, growing, rising
falling, stopping the singing and the
twitter of the birds. Across the land
there came horrible procession, ad
vancing with short, uncertain, broken
pauses-a procession which advanced
paused, halted, broke into groups; ad
vanced, paused, stopped, and stopped
a procession which came with wall
ings and bitter cries, with wringing
OF hands, with heads now and then
laid upon the shoulders OF others fol-
support; a procession which stopped
uncertainty, horribly. 1t was the WON
en- of Louisburg coming to seek their
slain-a sight most monstrous, most
terrible, unknown upon any field OF
civilized war; and unfit to be tolerated
