and everything else necessary to the
rebuilding of southern homes and in
dustries was pouring into Cairo and
out again by train loads sand steam
boat cargoes night and day.
AS Guilford Duncan emerged from
the alleyway between the cotton bales
and reached the street at top of the
levee a still burning fragment of the
| fireworks fell upon a bale Of which the
bagging was badly torn, exposing the
| lint cotton in a way very tempting to
fire. With the instinct of the soldier
he instantly climbed to the top of the
pile, tore away the burning punches of
lint cotton and threw them to the
ground, thus preventing further harm.
AS he climbed down again a man
confronted him.

man.
''No; I'm only man in search of

the stranger, pointing to the still burn

Good night
The night passed without event of
consequence. There were two or three
little fires born of the holiday celebra-
ton, but Guilford Duncan managed
to suppress them without difficulty.
Later in the night the swarm of cot
ton thieves, mainly boys and girls, in
vaded the levee, with bags convenient
ly slung over their shoulders. AS there
were practically no policemen in the
town and a his beat was large one,
young Duncan for time had difficulty

IT was a little after sunset on May
80, 1865, when young Duncan went
ashore from the towboat at Cairo.

secured a heavy stick from a bale Of
hay, and with that he dubbed every
cotton thief he could CATCH AS a SOL
der it was his habit to adapt means to
ends, so he hit hard at heads and seiz-
ed upon all the stolen goods. Thus
passed Guilford Duncan's first night
as common soldier in the great army
Of industry.
In the morning at the hour appointed
he presented himself to Captain Will
Hallam and was taken into that per-
sons private Office for an interview.

He asked the question precisely as
he might have done if he had resented
the saving of his wealth of cotton
"Oh, it was simple enough. The fire
meant damage, and was there. So,
of course, put it out"
"But why? The cotton wasn't yours,

| Scribbling memorandum on scrap
of paper, Captain Hallam handed it to
Duncan, saying:
"Give that to the cashier as you 20
out and get your wages. Then you'd
better get your breakfast. I recon-
mend you while you're poor to eat at
the little booths along the levee, where
they sell very good sandwiches and
coffee cheap. After breakfast if you

find something for you to do. Oh,

want to sleep?" ..-r

After the young man had passed out
Captain Hallam said to one of his part
ner brothers.:
"That fellow is a good sort. He has
sand in his gizzard. When he comes
back set him at work at something or
other-several things in succession, in
fact-and find out what he can do"
Such was Guilford Duncan's mus
tering into the new service of work.

1T was a little after sunset on May
80, 1865, when young Duncan went
ashore from the tOWboat at Cairo.
Il The town was ablaZe with fire.
works, for a local celebration of the
close of the war was in progress as he
made his way up the slope of the levee
through narrow passageWay that ran
between two mountainous piles Of cot
ton bales. At other points there were
equally great piles Of corn and oats in
sacks, pork in barrels, hams and bacon
in boxes and finer goods of every kind
in bales and packing cases, for Cairo
was just at that time the busiest en-
trepot in all the Mississippi valley.
The town was small, but it's business
was larger than that Of many great
cities. The little city lay at the point
where the Ohio river runs into the Mis-
sissippi. From up and down the Mis-
sissippi, from the Ohio, from the Ten
nessee and the Cumberland and even
from far up the Missouri great fleets
of steamboats, were landing at Cairo
every day to load and unload cargoes
representing wealth as great as that
Of the Indies. A double headed rail-
road from the north carrying the prod
uce of half a dozen states and con-
Meeting by other roads with all the
great cities of the land made it's termi-
nus at Cairo. Two railroads from the
south - traversing five states - ended
their lines at Columbus, a little farther
down the river, and were connected
with the northern lines by steamboats,
from Cairo.
Cairo was the meeting place Of COM
merce between the north and the south.
Out of the upper rivers came light
draft steamers. Plying the river below
We're steamers of far different con-
struction by reason of the easier con-
ditions of navigation. At Cairo every
steamboat, whether from north or
south, unloaded it's freight for reship-
ment up or down the river, as the case
might be, upon steamboats, of a differ
ent type or by rail. And all the freight
brought north or south by rail must
also be transferred at Cairo either to
river steamers or to railroad cars.
The south was still thronged with
northern troops numbering hundreds of
thousands, who must be fed and cloth
ed and otherwise supplied, and so the
governments own traffic through the
town was in itself trade Of vast pro-
portions. But that was the smallest
part Of the matter. Now that the war
was at an end the south was setting
to work to rebuild ITSELF From the
Cumberland and the Tennessee rivers,
from the lower Mississippi, from the
Arkansas, the Yazoo, the Red river,
the White, the st. Francis and all the
rest Of the waterways Of the south en-
ergetic men Of broken fortune were
hurrying to market all the cotton that
they had managed to grow and to save
during the war, in order that they
might get money with which to buy
the supplies needed for the cultivation
of new crops.
Pretty nearly all this cotton came to
Cairo, either for sale to eager buyers
there or for shipment to the east and
market.
In return the planters and the SOUTH
ern merchants through whom they did
business were clamorous for such
goods as they needed Grain, hay.
pork, bacon. agricultural implements,
seed potatoes, lime, plaster, lumber
