the enemy was close to us. None of
our boys were anywhere around, and
we realized that we were between two
fires. Several times we were almost on
the point of leaving the wounded sol

pleadings were too much for us, and
we held on to him. After many vicissi-

but when we reached it the works were
so full that they refused to admit the
poor fellow, and told us to take him
to the hospital, half mile back in an
open field close to the woods. They
brought a stretcher upon which we put
the wounded man. and started for the
hospital. This put us in line of the
bullets where the main fighting was
going on. The boys came flying up,
and we knew something had happened,

was where the thickest of the fight had
taken place. But we were travelling,

Have You Useless Back stairs.
A woman who found her steep back
stairs as little ornamental as they
were useful has had them converted
into two closets, one opening out of
her dining-room. the other on the Sec
ond floor The steps were removed
bodily and a glass door opened into the
llning-room from where they had been.
The space inside she had paneled and
rows of shelves were built in, well bp
to the ceiling. The lower ones were
used for china and the upper ones for
preserves. A small window cut into
the side yard admitted light into what
was really small shelf-lined room.
The whole cost little. Upstairs a capa-
cious linen closet filled in the vacant
space. Another woman who did not
wish to have the stairs actually taken
out had the upper landing converted
into a closet, but left the stairs under
meath, using them from the first floor
as a store closet for brooms, buckets
and the like.
