CHAPTER XIV.
Between Life and Death.


II was a glorious morning when
Colonel John received orders from
headquarters that the last train laden
with stores had safely reached At
lanta, and giving him explicit orders
to destroy the road utterly as he hast.
ened to join Sherman by a certain
time
His men caught the enthusiasm of
the hour.
They had fought desperately to de-
fend the road SO long as it was use
full to Sherman, and now that he de-
sired to prevent 1t being used By the
enemy at any future time they would
be just as ready to destroy.
The orders went forth.
Fires began to arise.

southeast. intending to join Sherman
at Atlanta.
There were foes between, however,
foes that had gathered from time to
time until they made a formidable
aggregate.
When the true state Of affairs be-
came known to these men, their lead.

They counted without their host, for
the federal colonel anticipated some
such movement, and was constantly on
the watch.
The city was within a days ride.
and Colonel John already anticipated
a short period of happiness at seeing
Mollie err the army started on its
long eastern march.
Little was to be done in this quar-

destroyed by parties from Atlanta
pushing out certain distance.
In the city itself all was activity

 About the swiftest runaway seen in Nogales forso time started on the Morley avenue corner of Inter- national street Sunday evening. The horse dashed down the narrow alley west of Morley avenue, and while people were still wondering how the buggy went through the alley at such terrific speed without striking anything, the animal turned around and dashed back through the same narrow way, coming out onto International street again, where 1t collided with a hack and came to a standstill at almost the same spot from which it started, and with the buggy almost undamaged. Three men were in the buggy when the horse started on his go-as-you-please run, one being sober and the two others drunk. The sober man was thrown out, while the drunks remained in the buggy till the horse came to a standstill.
