Mrs. Lenoir hurried to Elsie.

Come Marion, we must be going
now."
Il am very sorry to see you leave the
home you love so dearly, MIS- Lenoir,
said the northern girl, taking her ex-
tended hand. II hope you can soon
find a way to have 1t back"
Thank you," replied the mother,
cheerily. "The longer you stay, the
better for us. You don't know how
happy l am over your coming. 1t has
lifted load from our hearts. In the
libelai rent you pay US yO'l are nnr
benefactors. We are very grateful and
happy"
Elsie watched them walk across the
lawn to the street, the daughter lean
ing on her mothers arm. She followed
slowly and stopped behind one Of the
arbor-vitae bushes beside the gate.
The full moon had risen as the twilight
fell and flooded the scene with soft
white light. A whippoorwill struck his
first plaintive note, his weird song
seeming to come from all directions
and yet to be under her feet. She
heard the rustic of dresses returning
along the walk, and Marion and her
mother stood at the gate. They looked
long and tenderly at the house. Mrs.
Lenoir uttered a broken sob, Marion
slipped an arm around her, brushed the
short curling hair back from her fore
head and softly said:
Mama, dear, you know It's best. l
don't mind. Everybody In town
loves us. Every boy and girl In Pied
mont worships you. We will be just as
happy at the hotel"
In the pauses between the strange
birds cry, Elsie caught the sound OF
another sob, and then a soothing mur-

Its Lighting Was the Means OF
Avertins a Serious Accident.
A good story is told Of a sea cap
tain who died a number Of years
ago and who was formerly In COM
mand of a ship in which passengers
were carried from London to LIS
bon. On one occasion the ship
caught fire. and the passengers and
crew were compelled to take hurriedly
to boats. The captain remained per-
fectly cool throughout all the confu-
sion and fright Of the debarkation.
and at last every one except himself
was got safely into the boats.
BY the time he was ready to fol-
low the passengers were almost wild
with fear and excitement. Instead
of hurrying down the ladder. the
captain called out to the sailors to
hold on a minute and, taking a cigar
from his pocket. coolly lighted 1t with
a bit of burning rope which had fall
en- from the rigging at his feet
Then he descended with deliberation
and gave the order to push off.
"How could you stop to light a ci-
gar at such a moment?" he was
asked afterward when some Of the
passengers were talking over the es-
cape.
Because" he answered, II saw
~ did not do something to divert
the minds Of those in the boat there
was likely to be a panic, and, over
crowded as 1t was, there was danger
of the boat being upset. The act took
but moment, but 1t attracted the
attention of everybody. I was not
nearly so unconcerned as l seemed to
be, but was in reality In fever Of ex-
element My little plan succeeded.
You all forgot yourselves because you
were thinking about my curious beha-
vior, and we got off safely. ."-London

 NICE my last article before Camp
 Hardee, great deal of anxiety mas V been express by my comrades ih arms as to how I got away from the camp where we ate up the horse.
 I will state to you how l made my way from there to Winchester, Va. l cut DIT strips of the horses hide that the soldiers had thrown away, and tied them around my feet, and managed to slip and slide back to Chambersburg Pa When reach ed that town the ladies were standing on their front porches, 'guying' the southern soldiers as they marched through the ht- lie town, and amidst their shouts of laugh- fer they would yell, "I told you so, as you went on to Gettysburg that you would come back faster than you went.
 I noticed a fat Dutchman standing in his store door with a broad smile on his race, ejaculating Dots so, dots so!' over the door was this sign in large letters, Aaron Moses, Dealer in Clothing and Shoes Come in, Me can fit you" So l thought that I would take him at his word, and I struck a bee line for his place
 He saluted me, saying, "Mein frient, vot can I do for yous?" I answered him that I wanted to exchange my shoes as they had stretched untll couiu scafceiy keep them on my feet. He looked at my feet, then threw up his hands high above his head and exclaimed, "Mein Got! Vo. vou calls me. ooze?" I reached up to a shelf and took down good pair of shoes that thought would fit me. and sat dowr on the steps. took mine off and put hi on to his amazement. I told him neve' had a better fit.

 invited me to go in, saying that it was Quaker church, and that the people living around there were Quakers. l oplitely excused myself, telling her l had to go back to my command She looked at my face, then at my new shoes, and
 invited mo to go with her to her mothers home and stop with them and join the Quakers. then would not have to fight. resolved instantly that had rather fight to the bitter end than to be kidnapped, or adopted into freckle-faced Shaker family. Her hair was the color If red iron ore and her face was spotted with freckles as large as black-eyed COW peas, so I left her and went back to my com pany.
 Then l received orders from Colonel John c. Sanders, commNnuer of the re-i- ment. to take my comHnv over the hill into a small field and d,ill thnm. So I gave the sergeant orders to call the roll and form the company into line. Ti.s done, l gave the order to risht race for ward march. When we lehad the open ground I gave orders tn front farc. risht wheel Then trouble get in. A tho right of the company was coming around II had to open to the right and left to nass little knoll that was covered wiih rro- jecting rock, and tall busnas, and as Inc line of the company opened lo pass around, out jumped large horned sheep. Not knowing that any of the gdrs were loaded. and to have a little amusement, gave orders to make ready!

 By the time the boys got the sheep skinned, Colonel John c. Sanders sent his orderly to know what the firing meant. l told him to tell Colonel Salacrs that We had been surprised, and charsei bv large vicious sheep and the boys had killed him. and had him about ready for a division.

 The sound of an angry man and fright ened man in combat reached the d.sX. The mate looked up to the ma sshea1 as a flash illuminated the vessel. He saw Huel- ta attacking Jansen with a scraper, such as is used for scraping down a mast Jan sen was defending himself as best he could, partly clnging to the rigging on the head, while Huelta was throwing his whole strength careless of consequences to himself, into his blows. which were aimed at the stomach of his shpmate.
 Darkness again shut out the view, and the cries of the wounded seaman were heard above the storm. Nothing had been done toward furling the upper topsail, the barkentine was in peril, and yet two more men must be sent aloft to rescue Jansen and arrest the bad man. Hueita climbed the shrouds to the cross-trees, where he stood, flourishng his scraper,

dashing up with orders for me to report to his headquarters, at once. l then gave orders to the boys to devde the carcass, and I hurried over to General Wilcox headquarters.
 Knowing him to be rigid in discipline. l resolved in my mind to strike flint against steel, as l felt sure he would put me under arrest. Arriving at his tent, the general, with a stern demand, asked, why l gave orders to fire my guns. l boldly answered him, that as I was drilling my men a large horned sheep dashed out of a cluster of bushes, and tried to butt my men, and that I would not let any man s sheep butt my hungry men.
 The general then waived his hand at me, and ordered me to go hack to my company which readily did and ordered my men to shoulder their guns and nut ton. and marched them back to camp. Then 1 ate sheep until I went to sleep. I was never arrested.

 Two men found Jansen lying across the masthead bleeding profusely from wounds above the stomach. They carried him down the rigging to the deck and he was sent below.
 It was a much more trying task to ar rest Huelta. They prepared lasso. A third sailor climbed to assist them While two, one in the weather and the other in the lee rigging, kept Huelta busy mak- ing passes at them, the man below lasso- ed both his feet Then with marinspikes they knocked Huelta off his feet and lowered him head downward over the upper tops'1 yard to the deck. where the crew fell upon him and bound him.
