He shook his head gravely.

AS he spoke it seemed as though
the sharp firing upon both sides sud
denly ceased by mutual consent. The
terrible roar of small arms. which had
mingled with the continuous thunder
OF great guns. died away into an In
termittent rafting of musketry, and
as the heavy smoke slowly drifted up

plainly distinguish the advancing
Federal lines, three ranks deep.
stretching to left and right in Il
vast, impenetrable blue wall, sweep
ing toward us upon a run. Where but
a brief moment before the plain ap-
peared deserted, it was now fairly
alive with soldiery, the sun cleaning
on fixed bayonets, and faces aglow
with the ardor of surprise. Some n
had blundered! The thin, unsup-
ported line of gray infantry directly
in our front closed up their shattered
ranks hastily In desperate effort to
stay the rush. We could see them JAM
ming their muskets for volley fire,
and then, with clash and clatter that
drowned all other sounds, a battery OF
six black Guns came flying madly past
us, every horse on the run, lashed
into frenzy by his wild rider. With
carriage and caisson leaping at every
lump, the half-naked. smoke-begrimed
cannoneers clinging to their seats like
monkeys, they dashed recklessly for
ward, swung about into position, and
almost before the muzzles had been
well pointed. were hurting canister

CHEEKY fires. telling where Early's
command bivouacked in line OF battle.
From the low range Of hills In front
of where we rested n could look
across an intervening valley, and see
ia Off to the northward the dim
flames Which marked the position or
the enemy. Down in the mysterious
darkness between, divided only by q
swift and narrow stream, were the
blue and gray pickets. The opposing
forces were sleeping on their arms,
making ready for the death grip on
the morrow.
AS l lay there thinking, wondering
what might be my fate before another
nightfall, seeing constantly In my half
dreams the fair face of a woman,
which made me more Of a coward
than I had ever felt myself before.
l was partially aroused by the droning
tones OF a voice close at hand. Lift
ing myself on one elbow l glanced
curiously around to see where 1t
originated. what was occurring. Clus-
tered about a roaring fire of rails
were a dozen troopers, and in the
pidst of them, occupying the post Of
honor upon an empty powder key, was
Bungay, enthusiastically reciting
Scott. I caught a line or two:
"'At once there rose 80 wild a yell
Within that dark and narrow dell.
AS all the fiends from heaven thai fell
Had poaled tho hatt1a-crv of hell"
and then the drowsy god pressed
down my heavy eyelids, and l fell
asleep.

that the opposing pickets had caught
sight of each other through the gloom.
Then a big gun doomed almost direct
ly opposite me, its flame seeming like
a red-hot knife rending the mist. This
had barely vanished when a sudden
cheer rang out upon my left, and
turned in time to behold a thin. scat.

swarm down the steep slope into the
valley. With hats drawn low, and
guns advanced, they plunged at a
run into the mist and disappeared.

upon his back with eyes fastened
on a floating cloud.

l nodded.
"Oh, his mule bolted at the first

A smart Persian wedding is quite a
serious affair. 1t may extend over a
week. On the last day Of the wedding
the bride, who has been treated as a
sort of outcast. is conducted by a
near relative to a room, where she
undergoes further and more elaborate
decoration. She then returns t o the
guest oom and her dowry ia laid be-
fore her in trays. The dowry often
comprises such queer things as cheap
and highly colored o~leographs, gaudy
vases. bird cages and household art-
