DAILY STORY
A DRINK OF BUTTERMILK.



Enoch Quill sat on the seat Of Il now
ing machine guiding a pair of stout
farm horses and attending to the ma
chine at the same time. The summer
season had settled down from the
ficklenesS of spring and taken on that
steady warmth which gives life to the
creatures of earth \ thrush was pip
Ing in Il tree, robin was teaching its
brood to fly. Over Lluc sky sailed n
white cloud, casting what seemed TO
Enoch to be the shadow of a huge
bird. 1t passed, and the sun shonc
out seemingly brighter and warmer
than before. The man refined in his
horses at Il turn for Il rest, took off his
straw hat, wiped the sweat from his
brow and looked about him.
From the farmhouse beneath Il
clump of trees on the hill came Mabel
Judd. EnOch's employers daughter
She wore a calico dress, a cheap apron
and a sunbounet The sun poured lis
rays over her and was reflected bright
~ from u tin bucket she carried in her
hand Her approach brought pleased
look to the young farm hands face.
The girl came on over the field where
John BarleycOrn stood in battle array.
emerging where Euoch had left whole
companies and platoOuS lying slaugh-
| tered on the ground Then she came
| to where he sat on his iron seat, and
as she looked up at him and he saw
| her pleasant oval face away down in
the shadow cast by her Sunbonnct he
gasped with the great JOY that was In
| him.
81 been chUrnin. Enoch,' she said,
"and l thought a drink o buttermilk
I'D taste good to YOU"
She took the cover off and handed
| the bucket to him.
"Thankee, Miss Mabel" he said and
drank the contents. It's done me a
heap o good" he added, handing the
| bucket back to her. Il don't know but
one thing that's done me more good"
'What's that"
"Your bringin' it to me"
ooh, that wasn't any trouble" she
said, slight red coming into her
cheeks under his gaze.
1T isn't the trouble: it's the DISPOSE
ton to do it. l didn't know you'd keer
so much"
"Oh, | sor you out mowin' in the sun
and thought it 'ud taste good"
There was a brief silence, which
Enoch ended.
81 wished I owned n small farm o
my own"
Il wished you did, Enoch, for youl
sake"
This was not ali the truth. She wish
cd for the farm for her own sake a:
well as Enoch's. Then she might be
the housewife. WOuld she be The
housewife? Enoch had never made
love to her. The view Enoch took o
it was that she wished it for his sak'
alone. He thought he would never
have a farm, and without one he hat
no business to make love to girl wh'
would likely some day inherit one. HI
gathered up the reins.
I'm much obliged for the butter
milk he said.
at wasn't any trouble" she reptile,
mechanically and, turning, with dis
appointed look on her face, went bacl
over John Barleycorn's slain soldier
and through his waving forces tina
stood still defiant Long before sh
reached the house she again heard tn
monotonous rattle of the moving ma
chine Somehow the pleasure she ha'
taken in it had gone out of 1t. Enocl
had said nothing to warrant thl
change of feeling. She had drawn a
I ipfprpnce from, his manner
Enoch finished cutting the whea

While driving along a country road
man saw the roof of a farmers house

A MEMORY OF THE WAR.
An Old Soldiers Story of the Battle o
Yellow Tavern.

? "The most brilliant charge | ever
witnessed was made by Custer at the
battle of Yellow Tavern" said an old
Confederate cavalryman. 1T was
near the beginning of what historians
now call the Wilderness campaign.
Il was with Jeb Stuart, General
Fitz Lees division. Wickham's bri-
gaze and rhil Sheridan's troops were
hanging on us like a pack of hungry
wolves. nipping us at every turn.
Eve left Hanover Junction about 1
o'clock one night and reached Yellow
Tavern before 10 o'clock the next
morning. We hadn't more than halted
ut the Tavern when up comes Sheridan
and tries 10 drive us out. 1t was q
pretty tough struggle. hand TO hand
fight. and we fell back from the Tav-
ern, but held our position on the tele-
graph road leading to Richmond.

left wing, and it was about = o'clock
in the afternoon when orders came for
the whole division, except the First
ginians. TO dismount.
ut did seem good. I can tell you,
after 50 many hours in the saddle. to
stretch out on the ground and take
u smOke-that is. all who had anything
10 smoke. There was just one pipcful
among that whole battery, and the
boy who owned it passed 1t down the
line, and each man took his turn puff
ing at it. When it was gone we al
began TO speculate on what deviltry
Sheridan would be up to next and
how Jeb Stuart would head him off
