sible, soaking the clotted blood from
out my hair, and washing the powder
stains from my face, l felt l should
no longer prove an object of aversion
even to the critical eyes of the women,
who would fully realize the cause for
my torn and begrimed uniform.
A glance from the window told me
the Federal cavalrymen were bearing
out the dead and depositing them be.
yond view of the house in the desert
ed negro cabins. Ebers and one or
two of my own men were standing
near, carefully scanning the uncovered
faces as they were borne past, while
scraps of conversation overheard
brought the information that the long
dining room where l had passed the
night on guard had been converted in
to temporary hospital.
Irresolute as to my next action,

ingly far removed from all those ter
rible scenes so lately enacted In the
rooms beneath. My head by this time
throbbed with pain; | desired to be
alone, to think, to map out my future
course before proceeding down the
stairs to meet the others. With this
in view | sank down in complete
WEAKNESS upon convenient set
tee. My heavy head sank back
upon the arm oi the settee, and
deep sleep closed my eyes. II
Vas in my dreams | lelt il first-a

A gentle hand was stroking back the
hair IRON on my temples, while the
barest. uplift of my eyelids revealed
the iolds of dark blue skirt pressing
close to my side. Instantly realized
who must be the wearer, and remained
notionless until | could better con.

She spoke no word, and | cautiously
opened my eyes and glanced up into
her face. F'o' time she remained
unaware of my awakening, and sat
there silently stroking my forehead,
her gaze fixed musingly upon the
window at the farther end OF the hall
Doubtless she had been sitting thus
for some time, and had become alb
sorbed in her own reflections, for |
lay there d,qking in her beauty for
several moments before she chanced
to glance downward and observe that

tensity of my gaze awakened her from
reverie, for she turned almost with
a start and looked down upon me. AS
our eyes met, a warm wave of color
dyed her throat and cheeks crimson.

Sore = Head,

My acquaince with sore-heads in the
cnicken line is very limited, but / do
know a lot about human sore heads,
and the country is full of them. There
Is no more despicable object under the
heavens than sore head. guess all
OF our readers have met plenty OF these
human, or inhuman creatures. Every
village, every community has its bunch
otsore heads. Every time anyone at
teupts to do anything for the benefit Of
the community the sore heads get out
their hammer and knock. Nothing pleas
essthem, nothing satisfies them. They
nurse perpetual crouch, and they
grpnt and growl like the hogs that they
are, twenty five hours in the day. There
Is pniy one thing worse than one sore
heAd and that is two sore heads. II any
thing is going on the sorehead butts in,
anu II there is any chance of it being a
success he tries to make it failure.
Nothing pleases him, nothing ever could
please him. II he had billion dollars
in gold given him he'd kick because he
would have to get couple teams to
haul it home. He was born kicking,
and be will die kicking. He hates any
body that is successful, and never has
a good word for anything or anybody.
He has not only a sorehead but he has
a sore body, and in fact he Is a human
boil, and Just about as pleasant as most
boils are. He would kick il he were
playing football. II you see any dust
in the graveyard after he is buried, you
may know that he is raising it. What
ever you are don't be a sorehead. There
are, regret to say female as well as
male sore heads. It's very easy to be-
come sore-head by getting into the
habit OF knocking everybody aud find
ing fault with everything and everybody
aronnd you and giving credit to no one.
Don't nurse a crouch. Don't be perpet-
ual gloom, chase the owls and bats out
Of your brain and get some sunshine in.
Encourage every body to do their best
instead of rejoicing when they do their
worst Give word OF cheer and praise,
for it is the oil Of human sympathy that
makes the world go round without fric-
ton. Make this your motto ''if you cant
boost, don't knock" Mind / am only re.
ferring to the sore head who makes
business Of knocking everything that is
good and negIects to knock anything
the .bpd. There are plenty Of things
to knock in tnis world that need knock
ing and ought to be knocked, but don't
be- universal knocker of those IN this
little community in which you 1--we, or
you will soon degenerate into asore-head
and one sore head can blight home,
and bunch of sore heads can blight a
whole community.
