en-. They had seen how small a thing
is life, how easily and swiftly to be
ended
In front of the trenches were other
regiments, out ahead in the woods, un-
seen, somewhere toward that place
whence came the steadiest jarring of
artillery and the loudest rafting of the
lesser arms. 1t was very hard to lie
anu llsten, to imagine, to suspect, to
dread. For hours the game went on,
the reserves at the trenches hearing
now distinctly and now family the
tumult OF the lines, now receding, now
coming on.
Ihese young men, who but lately
mad said goodbye to the women of
their kin, began to learn what war
misnt mean. 1t had been heretofore
INSTANT, unmeasured, undreaded
thlng' conquerable, not to be feared. 1t
seemed so sweet and fit to go forth,
even though it had been hard to say
goodbye.
NOW there began to appear in the
WOODS before the trenches the figures
OF men, at first scattered. then becom-
ing steadily more numerous. There
came men bearing other men whose
arms topped loosely. Some men walked
with hand gripped tightly to an arm;
others hobbled painfully. Two men
sometimes supported third, whose
nead. heavy and a-droop would now

could go no farther, but fell there and
lay silent. Others passed bacl, into

anu now there appeared yet other
hsures among the trees, struggling,
broken line, which fell back. halted,
stood and fired always calmly, coolly,
al some unseen thing in front of them.
But tnis line resolved itself into in
dlvlduals, who came back to the edge
OF the wood. methodically picking their
way through the abattis, climbing the
intervening fences. and finally clamb-
ering into the earthworks to take their
places for the final stand. They spoke

CHAPTER III.
The Victory,

The Victory.
Nhe bandmaster marshaled his nu-
sic at the head of the column of oc-
cupation which was to march into
Louisburg. The game had been ad-
mirably played. The victory was COM
plete. There was no need to occupy
the trenches, for those who lay in
them or near them would never rally
for another battle. There was no
longer need for hurry Before the
middle of the morning the lines would
start on the march of the few short
miles.
During the delay a young officer of
engineers, Captain Edward Franklin
by name, asked permission of his
colonel to advance along the line of
march until he came to the earth
works, to which he wished to give
some examination, joining his regi-
ment as 1t passed beyond the fortifica-
tions on it's march. The colonel gave
his consent, not altogether willingly.
You may see more over there than
you want to see, young man." said
he
Franklin went on, following as near
ly as he could the line of the assault
of the previous day, a track all to bold
ly marked by the horrid debris of the
fight AS he reached the first edge
of the wood, where the victorious col
umn had made its entrance, it seemed
to him that there could have been no
i,,u oil
and sweet, Just cold enough to stir
the leaves upon the trees and set
them whispering intimately. All about
was the suggestion of calm and rest
and happiness. Surely it had been a
dream There could have been no
battle here.
This that had been a dream was
changed into a horrd nightmare as
the young officer advanced into the
wood. About him lay the awful evil
dences. Coats, caps, weapons, bit Of
gear, all marked and emphasized with
many. many shapeless, ghastly things.
Here they lay, these integers of the
the contortions, all the frozen ultimate
agonies left for survivors to see and
remember, so that they should no
more go to war. Again, they lay so
peacefully calm that all the lesson
was acclaim for happy, painless war.
Some lay upon their backs where they
had turned, thrusting up knee in the
last struggle. Some lay face down
ward as the slaughtered fall. 1t was
all hideous and cruel dream. Surely
it could be nothing more. 1t could not
be reality. The birds gurgled and
twittered The squirrels barked and
played The sky was innocent. 1t
must be dream.

In every country of the civilized world
Sisters of Charity are known. Not only
do they minister to the spiritual and intel
lectual needs of the charges committed to
their care. but they also minister to their
bodily needs.
With SO many children to take care of
and to protect from climate and disease.
these wise and prudent Sisters have found
Peruna a never failing safeguard.
DR.. Hartman receives many letters from
Catholic Sisters from all over the United
States. A recommend recently received
from a Catholic institution in Detroit,
Mich, reads as follows:
DR.. S. B. Hartman, Columbus, Ohio:
Dear SiE-"7he young girl who used
the Peruna was suffering from iaryngi-
It's, and loss of voice. The result of
the treatment was most satisfactory.
She found great relief, and after
further use Of the medicine we hope to
be sbIs to say she is entirely cured. -
Sisters of Charity.
Tho young girl was under the care of the
Sisters of Charity and used Peruna for
catarrh of the throat with good results as
the above letter testifies.

CHAPTER II.
The PLAYERS of the Game.

When the band major was twenty
miles away in front of Louisburg his
trumpets sounded always the advance.
The main intrenchments erected in
the defences of Louisburg lay at right
angles to the road along which came
the Northern advance, and upon the
side of the wood nearest to the town.
In the fields both the wheat and the
flowers were now trampled, and a
thousand industrious and complaining
bees buzzed protest at the losing of
their commerce. The defenses them
selves were but earthworks, though
skilfully laid out. Along their front,
well hidden by the forest growth. ran
line of entangling abattis of stakes
and sharpened interviewer boughs.
In the center of the line of defense
lay the reserves, the boys of Louis
burg, flanked on either side by regi
ments of veterans, the lean and black
haired Georgians and Carolinians,
whose steadiness and unconcern gave
comfort to more than one bursting
boyish heart The veterans had long
played the game of war. They had

CHAPTE /.
The Brazen Tongues.

The band major was poet. HIS
hame is lost to history. but IL deserves
a place among the titles OF the great.
Only In the soul of poet, great
man, could there have been conceived
that thought by which the music of
triumph should pass the little pinnacle
of human eXultation, and reach the
higher plane of human sympathy.
Forty black horses, keeping step;
forty trumpeters. keeping unison;
this procession, headed by mere mu-
sician, who none the less was a poet,
a great man, crossed the field of Louis
burg as it lay dotted with the heaps of
slain, and dotted also with the groups
of those who sought their slain;
crossed that field of woe, meeting only
hatred and despair, yet leaving be-
hind only tears and grief Tears and
grief, it is true, yet grief that knew
of sympathy, and tears that rocked of
other tears.
For long time the lines of invasion
had tightened about the old city of
Louisburg, and Louisburg grew weak
1 er in the coil. The wheat lay green
upon the fields and the odor of the
blossoms of the peach trees hung
heavy on the air; but there was none
who thought of fruitage or of harvest.
Out there in front, where the guns
were pulsing, there went on that grim
mer harvest with which the souls of
all were intimately concerned. The
boys who threw up their hats to greet
the infantry were fewer than they had
been before the blossoming of the
peach. The war had grown less par
ticular of its food. A boy could speed
bullet, or could stop one. There
were yet the boys.
OF all the old-time families of this
1ncient little city none held position
Hore secure or more willingly accord
cd than the Fairfaxes and the Beau
champs. There had always been a

his hand was at his face. Turning at
the gate for the last wrench of separa-

champ came and took Ellen's head
upon her bosom, seeing that now she
was a woman, and that her sufferings
had begun.

Prof. Theodor Mommsen, the great

the street and stopped to console the
little one without in the least recog-
nizing it as his own. On another occa-

walking with one foot in the gutter
and the other on the sidewalk. The
