the general should | ~ve declined pro- motion-let somebody else step up to the command of the division rather than see his old comrades moved from the right to the left of the line, from front to rear of the column. Tn vain were they assured that it really made no earthly difference, that the brigade would take turns at the head of the column on the march, and, as for the line of battle, they would get just as much fighting on the left as on the right.
 However, the brigade strode away most vigorously on the march to Ma masses, was one of the first to reach the storied stream that wound along at the foot of the heights, was one of the most disgusted to find the "impreg- nable system of powerful works" held only by Quaker guns and abandoned impedimenta, but to Fred Benton and his general there came lively sensa- tion in the report from the lips of the bearded colonel of the Black Hats" His men had stumbled on lot of let ters and luggage unaccountably left be- hind even in the calm dclikeration of the confederate witbGrawal-the prop erty of certain cheers cf the Eleventh Alabama.

TROLLEY 4-. EoPLE
Electric Lines Compete for Business with the Steam Railroads in
 New England States.

One of the latest developments of the
 rural trolley system is the making of bids for the transportation of theatrical
 companies. Through New York state and in New England the trolley com panies have been extremely active in
 this new field of late, particularly be-
 tween cities and towns where the dis tances are not so great that the mem bers of a company would be qnduly fatigued by the length of the ride! The agent of company supporting a star" that was playing in Albany, N. Y., recently was approached by the manager of trolley company with a proposal that his line would carry the entire company to Schenectady, their next stand at the rate of two persons for five cents. Tn addition to this low rate the trolley line offered the "star" the use of the direc- tors parlor car and also two flat cars to carry the scenery. As the run took only three hours, the deal was arranged on the spot. The regular railway fare for each person for the same distance was 28 cents, with no parlor car thrown In af

 ''So be it,'' said the president Ar,' so it happened that two days lat Z there came to Fred 9 wire from Was, ington bidding him join his general, there forthwith, and within another AS hours he was gone. For few dass in mid July he was home again as aice to the general, who had been ordered thither to help the state authorities in the organization of still more regi- ments. Tall and stiff and t'swagger" he looked in his eastern-made uniform, a vivid contrast to many an old school friend whose first blue frock coat seemed more like an off-color edition of some clerical garment than the garb ofaa soldier Fearfully and wonder fully were they made-those uniforms of our western volunteers, and much did they of the great army about Washington marvel and make merry at the sight of the officers of the few regiments from Badger and Hoosier- dom chosen to represent their states Cn the t'sacred soil'' of eastern Virginia.
 And about the first thing Fred Ben ton had done on his return was to snub, if not actually insult, his fathers s junior partner, between whom and that father relations were already severely strained
 Never yet had George McKinnon been able to satisfactorily explain how that letter addressed to Paul Ladue had come into his possession. Impor- tant as it doubtless was held to be, as evidence of Ladue's active sympathy with the rebellion, there were not a few responsible citizens who declared the postmaster grayely culpable for surrendering 1t. to any but the lawful owner. Whereat the postmaster on hearing of the cry against him came out with card in the .'Watchman," :" insisting that the letter had been placed by the distributing clerk in the

CHAPTER W.
WHAT WAS FOUND AT MANASSAS.

WHAT WAS FOUND AT MANASSAS.
 Dark and dreagy the winter of the first year of the war closed in on the camps about the capital. Between the Long Bridge and the heights of Ar lington lay 3 sea of mud. Dull red, the Virginia roads were gullied deep by the wheels of cannon, ambulance and army wagon that sank now to the very hubs in sticky mire, and time and again stalled the needed supplies almost within sight of their destina- tion. In vain the darssy drivers dou- bled their teams and piled lash and blasphemy. Hour after hour the or der would ring through the swarming streets of the nearest camp: Turn out, boys-more wagons stuck in the mud!" and by whole companies, regu- lars or volunteers, the men would wade knee-deep to the scene, and with fence rails as levers and drag ropes over the brawny shoulders, prying, pushing, hauling and shouting they would "yank" the heavy rolling stock, one by one, from the slough of their despond and tide them over to. the next camp beyond, and so, from slough to slough, pass them on their final desti- nation.
 But while the roads and mats were quagnires, up along the wooded heights the ground was fairly dry and we'll drained, and there the four regi- ments. three of which had drilled through August on the broad, level plateau of Kalorama, and much of the early fall about Chain Bridge, were now kept from morn till night busily at their soldier task. The general held that the less time soldiers had to kill the happier and heartier they were and determined was he that the splen- did material conf1ded to his charge cAould be molded into equally splen- did. soldierly shape-that the one ex- clustvely western brigade of the now well-organized army should be second to none in point of instruction, disci, pline and efficiency. To this end, drills by squad, company and battalion. all three. were of daily occurrence, fol- lowed by dress parade at sundown, and all this supplemented by long, searching inspections every Sunday morning. Presently, too, he was able, by mile march through the woods, to reach an open plain out toward Balls cross roads, and there have brigade evolutions twice week. Then the full uniform of the regulars had been drawn for the entire command, the In- diana boys shedding the semi-Zouave garb of gray in favor of the army blue. as had certain of their Wiscon,

CHAPTER IT.
THE FIRST UNIFORM.

THE FIRST UNIFORM.
 For many 8 week there came no word from Paul Ladue. At the little frame cottage near the lake sad eyed, submissive, broken man sat long hours each day in a worn old rocking chair, apathetic, uncomplaining, yet looking wistfully into the faces of the few who came to see him as though imploring news of his now doubly ban- ished boy
 Tn every way did the squire seek to aid the needy household and, all unre- buked now, Elinor went day after day to see Ladue and the fragile woman, his wife. who never left her room Tn one brief letter from St. Louis, Paul had announced his intention of making his way to Mobile. After that-who could say?
 And Fred, too, Elinor's stanch ally and supporter, was gone. Denied a commission in the earlier regiments of his native state, for the reason that the men demanded the right to elect their officers from among these en- listing with them, a course which his father had forbidden, he had found life we'll nigh unbearabIe after the almost tragic events of that night in June. and so boldly wrote Q long, urgent, ap- pealing letter to general oficer-an old soldier of the old army-who. since before the days of the Mexican
 war and until recalled to active service in the spring of '61, had made the
 Badger state his home, and that vehe-
 ment, vigorous letter the general took and laid before the president himself. This was before the first serious eye-opener-the battle of Bull Run,
 and the tall, ungainly son of the west
 was still able to see the whimsical side of things, untinged by the infinite and suffering of the days to come.

You be quiet, Squire,' 7 'enswered the nearmost "We don't want yougcu're all right" Fred was felled by a ston9 that struck him full in the forehead, Paul Ladue's leas were jerlSed from under him and he was dragged, struggling and strik- ing at every face within reach, and borne away, tle vortex of a whirlpool of raging humanity whose hoafse shcutings gradually died to distant roar as they surgcd onward down the slope to Market square, Benton and McKinnon vainly following, implor- ing and protesting. Then one level headed lad ran like deer to the quar- ters of q cadet company across the river, ard while Elinor knelt there by her stricken brother, chat1ng his hand and bathing his disclcred brow, the courthouse bell in rapid clang, pealed out the alarm of fire.
