ment promptly, and very soon "Jeb Stuart's horsemen were all under or ders to follow. Stuart's corps was com posed of two divisions, led by Generals Wade Hampton and Fitz-Hugh Lee, nephew of General R. E. Lee. The brigades were led by Generals F. M. B. Young, Thomas L. Rosser, l.. l.. Lo- max, w. C. Wickham, John R. Cham bliss and James E. Gordon. Five horse batteries were attached under Major R. P Chew
 The corps of Stuart numbered at the outset of the campaign about 5000 men, but this had been reduced by the engagements with Sheridan. Accord ing to Major H. B. Mcclellan, who was Stuart's adjutant general and is his principal biographer, there were three brigades sent out on the 9th to engage Sheridan-namely Wickham's, Lomax's and Gordon's, in all about 5000 men, led by Stuart and Fitz- Hugh Lee. WicKEon's brigade had the ad- vance and made several intellectual at tacks on the moving column. By the night of the first day Sheridan was across the North Anna river, about ten miles northwest of Hanover Junction. Busters brigade seized Beaver Dam station, on the Central railroad, releas- ing over 300 Union prisoners who were on the way to Richmond under guard. Several miles of track were destroyed. together with locomotives and cars and large quantities of supplies.
 The first halt of Sheridan gave Stuart time to plan a movement to intercept his march. Leaving Gordon's brigade to follow up the raiders, Stuart and Lee, with the brigades of WicRham and LomaI, started Tor Hanover June ton, shorter road to Richmond and

 ~A N the evening of May 8, 1864, m the infantry of the Federal W " army under Grant was gath
 ering around Spottsylvania Court House, Va, where Lee had taken position to block the pathway to Rich mond. During the night General Phil Sheridan put his whole cavalry force in motion to move past the Confed- crate army where it lay and march on the enemy's capital. There are no official reports to show the object of this expedition. General Grant in his report says, General Sheridan start ed on raid against the enemy's com munications with Richmond" In the narrative of his Personal Memoirs" General Grant states that the object was threefold-to cut the Confederate lines of supply and telegraphic com munications, seize and destroy stores on the way to Lees army and draw off "Jeb'' Stuart's cavalry so as to pro- tect the Federal trains from their forays. Sheridan says in his report that he was ordered to attack the enc my's cavalry and make his way to Buffers army then on the James riv- CT between Richmond and Petersburg.
 Sheridan organized his corps into three divisions under Generals D. McM. Gregg, James H. Wilson and A. T. A. Torbert. Gregg was an experi- enced cavalryman and had led his di- vision in many hard campaigns. Tor bert had served in infantry in the Sixth corps, having been at first colonel of New Jersey regiment in General Kearny's brigade Wilson had served on engineer duty. The brigade leaders were Generals George A. Custer, Wes- ley Merritt, Henry E. Davies and Colo nels Thomas c. Devin, J. Irwin Gregg, T. M. Bryan and George H. Chapman. There were also twelve batteries of horse artillery, two of which accompa- nied each division constantly, leaving a brigade of six in reserve for emergen- cies. At the outset of the campaign on the Rapidan the cavalry corps had numbered about 12,0OO men, but the losses in the engagements around the Wilderness had reduced the number present for duty to about 10000 at the time the raid commenced. Up to this time Sheridan's corps had performed the duty of guarding the Hanks of the army.
 On the morning of the 9th the caval- cade, req aching with it's trains and bat teries over a dozen miles, started rap idly along the direct road between Fredericksburg and Richmond, some distance south of Spottsylvania. The Confederate pickets reported the move

Now" he said to himself, If she ain't more than three feet thick I'll have her through in no time. That's what"
 But that wall was blank wall, and it had been laid many, many years before, when there were no trade unions, and no employers associations, and when cement and bricks were cement and bricks When the first gray streaks of dawn had appeared in the sky above the subway Britches had not finished. But he judged from the sound his hammer made that there was but one layer of bricks still to be removed.
 Tomorrow night said Britches to himself, "to-night, mean, why-the trick II be turned to a T. And no mis- take"
 He took a day off and rested up. He was made of flesh and blood and he was tired. But that night he started in, refreshed in mind and body. A deep peace was upon him, for he knew that in 20 minutes he would be inside the bank. And. there was no man in the whole world who understood the
 
 Bellman.
 One by one he loosed the bricks; he was right; it was the last layer. Little by little the hole widened. He stuck his head inside. It was dark as pitch He was prepared for this; prepared with a dark lantern.
 Now" he finally explained, huge joy possessing him, "now, here I am. The hole was just wide enough to ad- init his body, and he pulled himself carefully through and dropped down to the inside floor.
 ssHo, ho!'' exclaimed MT. Britches Bellman, softly, this is nuts, for fair.''
 He didn't want to show a light. So he groped his way carefully about across what seemed to be little room. It was, as he suspected, a coal cellar, He crossed it, and the boiler room; picked lock and entered still another room Tn this room he walked into 8 wall and stepped back suddenly. As ne did so his heel trod upon something soft Suddenly the room was flooded with bright white light. Britches gasped and looked behind him.
 s'You stepped on my corn" growled a voice in his ear. It was the voice of a very big man. This big man placed his 1fand upon MT. Bellmans shoulder. Then Bellman looked in front of him. Two other men were looking on smok- ing cigars. They wore blue uniforms and brass buttons. They smiled on Britches Bellman.
 'sIs this the gentleman, said one, archly, sswho has no use for evidence?" Bellman gasped again "The bank" said another, has been a-watchin' you for two days; they wanted to stop you, but we wanted you to go on, until you finished the-the job"
 "Gee!' gasped Bellman, holding out his wrists, sI-I finished it, all right"

GOING BYE-BYE.

And it's ho! for the Land of Bye-Bye
 Astraddle of papa's knee, With two big hands for the stirrups
 And two little lips for the fee. And now we are off at galIop
 Thro' meadows and valley and wood, For visit to Peter Piper < And little Red Riding Hood. And maybe we'll stop at the fairies
 Down there in the hazel dell; w'or where Papa Horsey will take us
 The horsey himself can tell. And maybe we'll call on Miss Muffet;
 And maybe and maybe we'll come 10 where one little pig went to market
 And one little piggie stayed home. But this know, that so surely
 As the littlest piggie could talk, &o surely we'll nod in the saddle
 And the gallop will come to walk And then we will be at the stable
 And tenderly Horsey will stand While mamma lovingly leads us
 To the dream-decked Lullaby Land. Oh, rapturous, radiant glamour 3s That aureoles vanished hours; Ah, rest for the heart that is weary
 And memories sweet as flowers Back there in the Land of Bye-Bye, S Where the romping fancies roam; Where one little pig went to market And one little piggie stayed home. K travel the big world over,
 But none of the scenes I see Ms like to the wondrous places
 Where went on papas knee. want to give all of my journeys
 Tn the wide, wide world of men Tor one hour of that dear dead childhood \ want to go Bye-Bye again. .s-Maurice Smiley. in Golfers Weekly.

.'Gea.'' said the foreman, that's so. I never thought of it. He scratched his head and grinned
 q s'pose," he added, that I might take hack at it myself some night. What dye think ?"s,l
 Britches Bellman. honest workman, shook his head. eff you talk that way" he said, smiling, 'tIll have to set plain clothes man on top of you. I got to take care of that there bank, and no mistake" He caught the other by the arm. Say" went on Britchea Bellman. tits blamed good thing yoa cnaps down here are honest II you weren 't-say, think of the whole lot of banks here on Broadway-you could tap the whole lot, almost, and nobody wouldn't know the difference, not. un- til,'' he added mot until they found out'
 And when they found out?" sug- gested the foreman.
 .There'd be hot time,'' returned Britches. He scratched his head again. |. Now, look a-here,' he went on, ttha. raises a very nice, delicate, infportaa\ question in my mind It seems to me that I'll have to get the bank to put a night watchman down here to set iL front of that there hole. It won't Go | to have any ,two-legged rats a-burrow- in there when I'm away. I naturally l gotter keep the bank protected, be- cause because" he added softly, to himself, I'd like to know, if some chap I got in ahead of me."
 It so happened, therefore, that by permission of the section foreman a burly night watchman came on an hour after Britches left. This night watchman had a bushy beard. Other wise he had the same proportions of 1 MT. Britches Bellman.. 'In course, !" the night watcbman assured himself, ''the union wouldn't stand for me workin' day and night, so I gotter l plaster or the makeup. And gotter 1 watch that hole to see she don't get away from me. For when a hole gets away from man-especially a hole like this one-it ain't no easy job to get another"
 MT. Bellman had worked only few days and few nights when he struck something with his spade that gave him joy.
 eff this ain't a vein of gold bearing ore" said MT. Britches. 'I'n wager it's the underground part of the Coun- ty banks underpinnings; and if it's that, why then it is a vein of gold"
 He was right. It was a portion ot the banks cellar wall He hastily cov- cred it up, hung around until the whis- tie blew, then he left and, returning later in the evening, brought with him a new set of sharp tools.
 ''I'll get this job finished by morn ing" said this night watchman, "ol I'm Dutchman"
 He removed a layer of tar coating; then layer of cement Then he struck the bricks.

Bounty National bank was ditch. This ditch is called the subway
 "Geei" said Britches Bellman, knocking himself on the side of the head, Get down in that hole, just where you belong
 Now, if Britches' hadn't been an, ex- traordinary kind of man, he never could have pulled off the little scheme that filled his head. But he was any thing and everything, from an A 1 con man down to the lowest kind of a strong -armer. In high hat and a frock coat he was superb; in busi- ness suit, he was all matter of fact; in a slouch hat, he could scare the wits out of a belated rich old party by just looking at him.
 One day a genteel looking parsonage called at the office of the subway con- tractors and announced that the Coun- ty National bank (which, by the way, was backed by the democratic boss) had concluded to strengthen it's under pinning just bit. He produced let ter apparently on the letter head of the bank, signed apparently by it's presi- dent. He was courteously received, as, of course, any representative of the boss's bank would have to be, and he left bearing with him the written di- rection of the contractor to the section foreman to permit the. workmen of the County bank to make any necessary excavation in the subway. This gem teel looking parsonage, it cannot be de- nied. looked extremely like MT. Britches Bellman day later a rough, honest looking workman, wear l ing union button and dressed in toll. stained overalls, handed the letter to I the section foreman, together with an- other letter from the bank, stated l casually that he and Sam Parks had ! known each other all their respective l lives, borrowed a chew of tobacco, and l started in to work.
 The work he was about to do he had l all planned out on a sheet of rough 1 drafting paper. It was to cut square hole four by four from the subway in to the foundation of the bank.
 '"The bank he said to the foreman "ain't so much afraid of going up as il is of fallin' down. Its pins is weak, or somethin'''
 Tn five hours the genial Mr Bellmar had made himself the most popular man in the ditch. He talked to every body, sympathized with everybody jollied everybody.
 But he was good workman and ht understood his business. But he in. sisted upon one thing. Every nigh, when he left his job, he carefully GOV. cred up the mouth of the hole he was making with a pile of dirt
 | Some fellow" he explained to tn, foreman, might take notion to fin ish.up my job some night and go clear through the bank, outside and in.'' Thi foreman expectorated

 YTNHE underworld in New York is di'
 vided into two great classes. First, those who get caught; second, those who don't The police department, finding it impossible to keep an eye on everybody all the time, had come to the conclusion that Britches Bellman belonged to the latter class. In their hearts they knew that Britches was up to many things; but when they came to sift even one of these things to the bottom invariably they found them selves wofully weak when it came to evidence.
 Evidence" snorted Britches; 'I aint got no use for it. don't want none of it around me. To - with ;evidence."
 Now, Britches Bellman, being clti- Zen of the underworld, had come to the conclusion that for part of the time, sat least, such citizen ought to reside underneath the ground. He got this idea one day when he was passing the County National hank In front of the
