The same morning people living along
the line Of the pike were awakened
from their slumbers by the clatter of

lowed by the tread of men marching
and the rumble Of cannon. Almost be-

When the excitement had ouieted
down and the sun shone as peacefully
over the undulating plantations as it
had set the evening before, the two
missing men not appearing. commit

ladder down, the ends creased and
blood (from Harkaway's nose) scat
tered over the stairs, they concluded
that the two men had been PLAYING
each other foul and doubtless one had
murdered the other or both had been
killed. But what had become of the
bodies was a mystery.
Years passed, and neither Harkaway
nor Nolan appeared. When a stranger
came into the locality he was sure TO
be treated to the story of the night the

who were watching for them had dis

On an eminence few miles north Of
town in Alabama stands a church
with a belfry. 1t stood there during
the civil war. In the spring of 1862
Dan Harkaway, a young man whose
father was a deacon in the church.
used to go up into the belfry daily and
sometimes on moonlight nights to take
a look up the turnpike, which was
plainly visible for some miles north
ward, hoping to catch the first sight OF
Yankee troops that were expected to
occupy that region. Harkaway set
great store by this vedette system in
vented by himself and promised to
warn his neighbors in time to set their
houses in order and put their silver
spoons in the well before the arrival of
the enemy.
Harkaway was in love with Nancy
Durbin, girl who found it difficult to
decide between him and Tom Nolan.
One day Nolan overheard some ne
groes talking together about the prox-
unity of the Yankees some caying that
they would come within a few hours.
Nolan thought to get ahead of his rival
and climbed to the belfry for the DUR
pose OF being first to see the enemy's
approach. Harkaway had placed a
ladder on the highest floor, to be reach
ed through a trapdoor. By climbing
the ladder one could look out through
the top openings. Nolan mounted the
ladder, and Harkaway, passing below.
saw him gazing up the pike.
Harkaway determined to punish his
rival for assuming a privilege that he
reserved for himself and that night
went up to the belfry and creased the
ends on which the ladder stood. Nolan
thought over the matter of the yam
KEGS approach and concluded that If
they occupied the city they would like
~ endeavor to surprise it in the early
morning before the people were awake.
therefore at the first sign of dawn he
entered the tower. intending to watch
I'll after sunrise. He climbed the lad
der and, looking up the pike, saw the
Yankees coming.
de was about to descend to give the
alarm when he felt the ladder SHINING
AWAY from him. Catching the window
Sill, he clung to it for a few minutes
then dropped, hurting himself severely
Inc first thing he did after getting his
breath back into his body was to ex-
anime the ends of the ladder. finding
them creased. At the same moment he
heard some one enter the building be-
ow and knew that Harkaway was COM
