A PROBLEM.


Have you ever watched a fellow, when
he's working by the day
How his feet move more slowly when the
boss is gone away.
How hard he tries TO save his hands by
using up his brains,
How the shady spots seem always TO be
needing special pains,
How resting spells come often. ana now
long he eats at noon,
How late he gets to working, though he
always quits too soonT
Just watch the next one. and you'll find
There's truth In what 1 say,
For he's working by the day-day-day,-
He s-working- by-the-day
Have you ever watched a fellow. when
he's working by the job
How his violent gyrations fairly make
your pulses throb,
How he never stops to whistle and he
never stops to sing,
And no matter how the boys call, he
doesn't hear a thing;
How he gives the lick and promise" to
the work he's set to do,
And you think he's scarcely started till,
behold! the fellows through?
There's no doubt the face of nature
win be marred by many a daub,
For he's working by the Job. job. job!

Benton, about this time-the captain
and most of his men being at home on
veteran furlough. "Ould Stantons got
the DEVILS own grudge agin him fur
turnin' up In time to spoil a hangin
all on account av Ladue that's dead. T"
Il was hardly felicit.ous, yet surely
concise, way of settling the story.
Winchester settled the matter for good
and all. The president shook the other
hand of the tall. bearded Badger and
offered him two weeks leave and a
chanOs to go home until his arm was
out OF the sling. Benton begged in
stead for a chance to see Chiffon, and
the charges against him, and that very
day drove Stanton to the verge of APP
ploplexy. for when shown the fatal
notebook he said he knew it well and
could swear it was all the work OF
Paul Ladue and not that Of Jack Chill
ton Benton could not lift the gate
of Lafayette, whittier poor Jack had
been sent, but he shattered all chance
of their lifting the prisoner at the
loop of a rope, and this news, too, went
by devious, but still speedy ways to
Charlottesville, where again. on her
knees, by her fathers bedside, with
her arms about that fathers neck, Ros-
allie Chiffon thanked God for his mer-
cies, and then found It harder than
ever to begin the letter she had long
meant to write to Elinor Benton, even
though now the sending of it might
be impossible.
One more ride had Benton near the
Iron Brigade, after long months Of sep
aration from them, after many and
many a day and night in saddle, mud
and rain, in sleet and snow, up the
Shenandoah. down the James river
canal, around Richmond, and then.
amidst volleys of chaff and catcalls,
around the rear of the entrenched Ar

dripping woods about Dinwiddie. One
vehement, relentless. resistless day and

then, the historic surrender ended,
while the blue columns tramped leisure
ly nortwrad past the scenes of their
fiercest endeayor. one command, fol-
lowing the line of the old Virginia
Central, found itself, late in April,
marching sturdily into Gordonsville,
long time the abiding place of grim I'M
repentant old wardog Ewell and their
veteran antagonists of Jackson's IA
nous corps. Some Of these fellows. in
worn gray uniforms, were al the sta
ton even now, two OF them shaking
hands with tall stan officer in blue.
I'VE hoped to have Jack here by this
time, major" said Winston. His re-
lease was ordered soon as Gen. Grant
got back to Washington, but he had
to stay because of-other matters" and
a flush of deep embarrassment burned
on the southerner's cheek. Even then
they could not without grief and shame
refer to the great tragedy that stilled
even the joy of dawning peace, and
hushed forever the voice of him who.
with malice toward none. had never
failed in boundless charity for all.
Jack, though given his liberty, found
himself still in need of war department
clearance papers that. in al the horror
Of those mid April days and the ex-
element OF the chase for fugitiyes,
were possibly inadvertently withheld.
And so it happened that, with other
sorrow-stricken ViFginians. he wss
still under detention at Washington,
while every nook of the river counties
was being searched, and that it should
be his lot to encounter still further an
noy. A steamer from down the Poto-
mac brought in three wounded men,
victims of a possibly avoidable ARRAY
between a searching party and certain
fisher people whose huts and sheds had
been too suddenly visited in the dark
ness that precedes the dawn. Shots
had been exchanged, due, il was
claimed, to the confusion and excite
ment; but the tall. lank. woe-begone
civilian who guided the party and got
three serious wounds as his share of
the casualties, swore he had been
singled out for vengeance because he
had been the means of breaking up
more than one well-planned escape Of
confederate prisoners. II was Jennings.
and Jennings before breathing his last
wished TO see Capt Chiffon, who swat
lowed his repugnance and went; for.
in common with most of his people he
believed the stricken man a two-faced
spy and the seller Of information
which he probably was. yet hoped to
play his game 10 the last and induce
Chiffon now to believe it was the dead
and defenseless Lounsberry that threw
the cavalry on Ladue that night below
Matthias.
1t was southern lead. however. that
ended Jennings's career. and he. at
least, had he lived, could never have
set foot again on Virginia soil.
