FATHER AND SON.
Pathetic Tragedy Of the War estwss~
the States.

the States.
Not all the sad stories OF wartime
come from the battlefield. Many a
heartbreak Is not recorded on the list
Of the killed and wounded. The civil
war knew no more tragic occurrence
than the following incident, taken
from the New York Sun: A soldier
had enlisted from his home In Georgia,
where his father remained undlsturbed
through the struggle. The young man
fought through the war without a
scratch, save slight wound which
left him a little deaf. This affllction
he never mentioned In his letters.
After the surrender he sent his ia
about certain date. Travel then was
uncertain. and he could not tell just
when he would arrive.
His father prepared to receive him
He had brought out the best plate
which had been secreted for q long
time, and with gold which had been
exhumed he bought such substantials
and delicacies as the southern market
at that time afforded. As many Of the
old time neighbors as were living In
the vicinity were invited to the home
coming
The young soldier arrived on the
plantation the night before the earliest
date he had mentioned. IT was late,
and the family had retired, but the
dog heard the noise and began to bark.
The sound reused the father, who rose
and got his shotgun. The country was
overrun at the time with stragglers
and sneak thieves. The father, gun In
hand, went to the door, saw the ap-
preaching figure and challenged 1t.
The young man, being deaf, made no
reply, but still advanced, whereupon
the father raised his gun and fred.
His son fell, shot through the heart.
1t was a pltiful sight to see that al
most crazed father carrying his life
less son into the home which had been
made ready to welcome him. The
next day the guests arrived. Instead
OF joyously greeting the returned sol
der they gszed at the still form,
wrapped In the flag for which the
young man had bravely fought. Ev-
cry private burial ground had In II a
grave made by the war but no funeral
like that ever took place In the vicinity
or possibly In the whole south.
