high at best, with his natural height

CHAPTER Y

Left to himself in the deserted hall
the old sailor walked over to the body
of the old soldier Many quaint dis
pute these two old men had held in
their brief acquaintance. and upon no
one thing had they been able to agree
except in hatred OF the English and
love OF their common country. Still
their disputes had been friendly, and II
they had not loved they had at least
respected each other.

most forgotten. as MIR. Talbot says!
He died the right way. though. doing
his duty, fighting for his country and
for those he loved. Well, he was a
brave man-for a soldier" he muir
INJURED thoughtfully.
Out on the river the little sloop was
speeding rapidly along. Ride as thou
wilt. Philip, she cannot be overtaken.
Most of the exhausted men lay about
the decks in drunken slumber. John
son stood moodily by the man at the
helm. His triumph had been temper
cd by Desborough's interference. Two
or three of the more decent of his fol-
lowers were discussing the events OF
the night.
'Por joe" said one.
Yes, and Evans and Whitley, too"
was the reply.

In 1864 a squad sof the Fifty-fourth

following morning before departing
from the neighborhood they rode up to

out the finest horse there. Eailey ex-

exclaimed.
""Don't worry yourself. pardner,"
mildly replied the soldier. ''you see,

AT that time Railey was we'll off in

Hardships AT ChattanOOgu.


A veteran who survived the sie1s
describes the "epoch of hunger" Of
Chattanooga as follows Before we
were relieved by Hooker anu Sherman
provisions ran so low that for six
weeks we subsisted on one-,hird ra-
bcns. This amounted to eight ounces
OF bacon. six ounces Of hard tack and
one pint of coffee per day. The result
was that we were hungry all the time
The people living in Chattanooga were
worse off than we were. So closely
confined were we that one could not
venture far enough out Of town to
reach the timber for firewood, and as
result we had to dig up stumps
wherever we could find them and cut
them up and dry them out for the
fires. Toward the end the stumps
began to run short. and in digging
tbem we used to take out the roots as
far down as we could dig. These
stumps and roots were wet, and we
had to split them up and let them dry
long time before they would burn
We We're the happlest lot Of men when
we did get relief you ever saw I
have often thought that another three
lays Of the starvation that we en-
I,erienced would have set us to grub
bing for mice and insects or any other
small form Of life that could be eaten"

CHARGED WITHOUT ORDERS
A Veterans Story Of the Capture Of
Mission Ridge.

p Veterans Story Of the Capture Of
Mission Ridge.
Colonel Ben T. Johnston, who partici-
pated in the battle of Missionary Ridge,
describes the charge that won the day
for the Federals as one Of the most ex-
citing moments Of his life. :'We had
ORDERS he said, Ito proceed to the foot
Of the ridge, take the first rifle pits and.
there to halt, either for the purpose of
turning back or drawing off in some
other fashion, l do not know which.
We drew the fire of the Confederates
from the start, but it was so weak and
desultOry that it was not long before
every man on the firing line saw and
realized that the position on the top OF
the ridge could be taken with very lit
tie effort. The men arrived at this con-
clusion about the same time that the
order was given to halt, but they paid
no more attention to the latter than If
it had been the wind blowing. Gen
eral Hazen of our division rode fran
tically up and down the line yelling the
word Halt" until he was hoarse, and
finally, when he saw that it was of no
avail, he shouted:
"'Well, blank you, come on then.
Forward! Double quick! Charge bay
onets" And up the slope we went. We
charged up that part of the slope on
the summit Of which Bragg had estab-
lished his headquarters, engaging the
Washington artillery of New Orleans
Their guns were named after the wives
and daughters of the president and Off
GERS Of the Confederate government
One of them was named Lady Davis
others Lady Breckinridge,' Lady
Stephens and so OH. In taking these
guns the boys cracked all manner OF
jokes at the expense of the ladies for
whom the cannOns were named.
Zone of the things that surprised all
of us was the fact that General Bragg's
three deep. He had taken his entire
army and strung it out over a length
Of twelve miles or more down the
backbone of Missionary ridge, which
begins in Tennessee and ends in Geor-
gia. Had he covered less territory and
concentrated his men at several points
along the ridge the result Of the battle
might have been different. but as it
was this thin line was no match for
the regiment that swept up the hill
against them. The only obstacle that
we met was Il number of trees which
the Confederates had cut down with
the tops toward us, but the boys were
not long in pulling these obstructions
out of the way. l remember that on
reaching the top of the ridge we saw
the Confederates disappearing down
among the scrub oak timber on the
other side"
