What might have proved a
very serious accident from fire
works occurred late in the after
noon of the fourth, when some
boys touched off a sky-rocket,
which fell over and shot across
the street, striking G Leota Kriesel,
the little daughter of DR.. Kriesel,
in the face. Fortunately the
child was with her father at the
time, who Immediately carried
her to his Office and dressed the
wound. The missel struck the
child just below the eye, cutting
the eyelid and making a bad
wound on the cheek; had it gone
half an inch higher it would have
undoubtedly destroyed the
child's eye. AS it is the wound
is likely to leave mark on the
face for some time. But shortly
after this John Tessin and little
daughter were hit in similar
manner by a sky-rocket while
sitting in front of the Stone
& Sullivan store. Mr.. Tessin
was struck in the head and for
an instant was stunned, his
clothing also being torn by the
shaft. The little girl also re-
ceived a small mark on the body.

Burglars dynamited the safe
in the postoffice at White Rock
last Thursday morning, taking
about $500 worth of stamps and
cash. The marshal exchanged
shots with the burglars, but they
got away, and a posse of citizens
armed themselves apd followed
the robbers. The latter were
far enough in advance to get
away from their pursuers. but
were later captured in a grove
few miles from White Rock; they
had managed to hide their plum
der, and were pretending to be
asleep in the grove. Postal In
spector D. A. Collier arrived at
the scene later, and instituted a
thorough search for the stolen
property. BY following slight
clew in the shape of a piece of
postal band, he at last located
the stolen property, which had
been buried in the ground and
carefully covered up. Besides
the stamps and cash, fuses, with
dynamite caps, some nitroglyc
crime and other apparatus used
by safe blowers were found. No
little credit is due Mr.. Collier for
his success in locating the plum
der, as it would probably have
been hard matter to secure a
conviction had the stolen goods
not been found.

The lent in which Col. Batterslefgn
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
bed over which there was spread
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
faint rustling of paper. Indeed, this
rustling was caused by the small rect
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 a box. The vis-
iDle seats were also boxes, two or
three in number. Upon one of these
sat Battersleigh. busy at his writing
Occasionally he gazed ont upon
sweet blue sky, unfretted by any
cloud. His eye crossed sea of faint
ly waving grasses. The liquid call of
a mile-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
of many lands with Battersleigh.

CHAPTER lIl-continued.

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 thickening of the
gray, and In turn, as the traveller adj
vanced toward the fences and abattis,
the Northern dead predominated,
though still there were many faces yell
low-pale, dark-framed.
Franklin passed over the abattis.
over the remaining fences, and into
the intrenchments where the final
stand had been. The dead lay thick,
among them many who were young.
Franklin stock looking out over the
fields, in the direction of the town.
And there he saw sight fifty to be
called the ultimate horror of all these
things horrible that he had seen.
Over the fields of Louisburg there
came a 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 for
support; procession which stopped
uncertainty, horribly. 1t was the wom-
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
even in the thought! 1t is for men,
who sow the fields of battle, to attend
also to the reaping.
Franklin stood at the inner edge of
the earthworks, half hidden by little
clump of trees. He saw approaching
him, slowly but almost in direct line,
two figures, an older lady and a girl.
They came on, as did the others, al
ways with that slow, searching atti-
tude, the walk broken with pauses and

he determined to put stop for good
and all to her incessant talk by pull

RattersIeigh Of the RiIe Irish.
Col. Henry Battersleigh sat in his
tent engaged in the composition of a
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 extraoI .inary
features. His life had been spent un-
der canvas. Brought up in the pro-
fession of arms, SO long as fighting
and forage were good it 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, and on his private ac-
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, flat-backed, and

years. 1t was his boast that no horse

CHAPTER v.
Ehe Turning of the Road.

Fhe 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 a mill-round of duties so
petty, a horizon of opportunities SO
restricted, as to cause in his mind
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 a 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-
tient, and full of that surging fretful.
ness which fell upon all 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 it who was not eager to return
to it again! For the weak and sloth-
ful It 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, unexplored, uncertain coun
try offered scene whose possibilities
made irresistible appeal. For two
years Franklin did the best he could
at reading law in a country Office.
Every time he looked out of the win
dow he saw 4 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-
mained 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.
