By JOSEPH STARTS


Near the middle of the column a
brown bearded prisoner with sergeant
chevrons on his sleeve tranlped in a
stolid, unobtrusive manner, glancing
now and then to left or right. While
still good ways off he caught sight OF
the crippled Confederate at the corner
and the latter, peering down the line,
saw him. Neither made a gesture, but
their eyes met and held each other like
the crossing of rapiers.
Halo, Johnny" remarked the Fed
eral sergeant. as he came marching
past. Got any chewin' tobacca?"
Sure, Yank," drawls the Confe6-
crate. ''Ketch" He must have been
holding plug of tobacco in his hand,
for he tossed 1t over the column al
once, and the sergeant caught It.
Here. you!' shouted the mounted
along the marching line. What you
doing? Step back there!"
His horse threatened to trample the
bystanders. There was a confused
struggle, jostling. and incipient panic at
the crowded corner, as persons pushed
effort to get out of the horses way. The
column continued to march on.
At that moment a large. stern-faced
man in a black frock coat and sloucn
hat leaned from a second-story wlndoW
on the opposite side Of the street. point

harsh, resonant voice:

would hear shots that sounded louder
than the rest, and then we knew that
they were firing cannon, and that rath-
er frightened US because we knew that
II a cannon ball hit the old house we
were in II would go right through it."
DID anv Of them hit it?'' asked Ezra
Not while we were there. but after
ward there were dozens Of holes in Il
where shells went through. Well, we
stayed there all dav until IL began to
get dark ami the firing began to stop,
and then we went downstairs and out
the window and started for home. And
when I got home my mother was SO
frightened she was sick in bed, for she
was sure that l had been killed, but
really was safer in the old house than
/ would have been at home, for some Of
the fiercest of the fighting was right
there where lived, and one Of the can
non balls had gone right straight
through big oak tree that stood in
front Of the house and the shock from
the cannon firing had broken nearly
every window in the house,
And did you get any of the bullets?"'
mo, / didn't get any bullets that /
remember. but I did get piece Of the
shell that went through the oak tree"
Have you got II now?'
Yes, it's in the library there, and you
have seen 1t lots OF times, only you did
not know what 1t was"
Was that the nearest you ever came
to getting shot?" asked Ezra
II guess that was the nearest / ever
came, but once thought. was a great
deal nearer
When was thatT'
That was when some hungry soldiers
caught me carrying a pair Of chickens
over to Aunt Lucy's house, and told me
they would shoot me II didn't give 'em
up"
did you give them up?'
mo, l wouldn't let them have them,
and finally 1 got them over to Aunt
Lucy's house, but that is a story that

IL We didn't want TO be killed the best
thing for US to do was to get under
cover.
There was an old house right at
the edge Of the town that nobody
had lived in since 1 could remember.
and as fast as we could We ran for
that. The windows had been broken
out with stones, and without very
much trouble We got inside, and at
first we went down into the cellar
for we were sure that the bullets
wouldn't get down there. and that we
would be safe, but we hadn't stayed
down there very long before we won

and one of the other boys said, let's
go upstairs and see what it looks

Gould you hear the guns all the
time?" asked Ezra.
''Oh, yes; we could hear the guns,
and the bullets, too. for some of them
struck the sides of the house, and we
could hear a kind of spatting sound
when they hit. Well, we all decided
to go upstairs, and when we got to
the first floor we decided to go up
to the chambers on the second floor
because we would be able TO see bet

the long hail. which ran through the

WONDERFUL SHAMPOO
DESTROYS DANDRUFF

'At last we have a dependable rem
edy for hair and scalp troubles"
writes Mae Martyr in the Los Angeles
Press. THE problem of lifeless,
streaky, unattractive hair and dandruf-
fy. itching scalps seems to be solved.
I find these conditions disappear as IL
by magic by shampooing with a tea
spoonful of canthrox dissolved in
cup of hot water.
1.-The rich, creamy lather of this sham
poo removes every particle of dust and
dandruff and when rinsed out. the hair
dries quickly and evenly. This sham
poo seems to invigorate and put new
life into the hair and scalp. 1t makes
the hair glossy, fluffy, and easy to do up
and keep looking nice. Canthrox Is
inexpensive and has the approval of
every woman who uses 1t. II is good
for both light and dark hair"

Semi fitting Coats
For Negligee Wear

Instead of the one-piece negligee held
in at the waist with a silk cord or rib
bon. many women delight in the semi
fitting coats or tunics to wear with a
lovely skirt of muslin or silk.
These coats and skirts are made of
the thinnest stuffs, many of the coats
having a sheer silk lining in white or
colors, while through others flesh tints
show.
As rule the coats reach to the knees
and often have deep slashes at the sides,
held together with ribbons or cord. The
sleeves are wide kimonos, coming not
quite to the elbow.
