The girl shoots the brute just in time
The owner Of the hut. Jed Bungay and

proves to be Maj. Brennan, Federal
0rficer whom the Union girl recognizes.

"Oh, his mule bolted at the first
shot over yonder, and the little fellow

How time dragged! The battery to
left of US went into action, and began
firing rapidly; we could mark the
black figures of the cannoneers at the
nearer guns. outlined against the sky
over the crest, as they moved quick
ly back and forth. Twice they bore
amotionless bodies to the rear. and laid
them down tenderly beyond the fierce
zone of fire. Then the heavier pieces
of artillery farther down the line
burst into thunder, and we silently
watched large force of infantry
move slowly past us up the long slope
until they halted in line of battle just
behind its summit, the advanced files
lying flat upon their faces and peer
ing over. But no orders came for US.

Meat Economies.

In the preparation of cheap cuts Of
meat brown the meat first in a hot
spider or kettle for flavor, and scar
the surface so that the juices may be
retained in the meat. Some scraps
Of fat may be Drowned and onions
sliced and fried in the fat, an equal
mixture of -four added, and when 1t is
mixed smoothly with the fat water is
put in to make thin gravy. The
neat is then put in and left covered
On the back of the stove, and later
vegetables and seasoning are added,
,r they may be put in with the meat,
seasoned, covered and boiled five min
ltes and put at once into the fireless
cooker and left several hours or all
lay. Long, slow cooking is the only
.ule for good results.

TAKE CARE OF THE GREASE
Housekeeper viii Find 1t Great Ad.
vantage to Keep Various
Kinds Separate.

Every housekeeper has a pot into
which drippings are poured, but 1t
would be far better If each kind of
grease were separated, for the dishes
needing such an ingredient are great
ly benefited by some one flavor. Thus,
potatoes are wonderfully enhanced by
being fried In pork fat, only, and are
even better If pure ham grease can
be used. Beef drippings are better
and for frying French toast, there Is
nothing quite the same as the fat
from pork chops.
All the greasy gravies, such as
those of roast pork and lamb, are
excellent, if thickened with a little
flour, allowed to simmer for half an
hour, and used as dressing for po-
tatoes that are to be warmed over.
There should be crock for every
different kind of dripping; for bacon
grease, ham fat, "tried OUT suet, pork
and lamb chop grease, roast greases,
and a final choice little for pot for
chicken and goose grease, for these
are the ultra aristocrats of the fat
family, and they can be used in
number of odd and appetizing ways.
Spaghetti, boiled exactly twenty min
utes may be drained and dipped into
a skillet of 1t, tossed about for few
minutes, and served with toasted
cheese spread over it. Tomatoes and
green peppers, sliced and fried in a
deep pot of it, make wonderful addi-
ton to cold meats Artichokes cauli-
flower and asparagus, the aristocrats
OF the garden, take kindly to this SUI
perfine oil, and are especially good
when warmed over in it.
Ham drippings added to bean soups
have an excellent effect, and will be
found a great saving, If used instead
of meat stock.
1t may seem great deal of trouble
to thus divide and subdivide these
products. but, once the thing Is be-
gun, it is just as easy as pouring all
the drippings into one large crock,
and the result is SO much better that
some extra effort will seem well
worth while.
A small amount of bacon or ham
grease, dropped into string beans or
spinach or beet tops gives splendid
flavor, and if it is once eaten, will
never again be omitted.-Armour's
Farm Almanac.

Guiding that first fierce baptism of
fire at Manassas-n0 action in which
| ever participated should remain so
clearly photographed upon memory as
this last desperate struggle for SUI

least so far as I CHANGED to be a
lersonal participant, rises before me
as | write. and doubt not could
trace to-day each step taken upon that
stricken field.
: Tho reveille had not sounded when
! first awoke and, rolling from my
blanket, looked about me. Already a
faint, dim line of gray. heralding the
dawn, was growing clearly defined in
the east. and making manifest those
heavy fog banks which. hanging dank
and low obscured the valley The
tired men of my troop were yet lying
upon the ground, wrapped tightly in
their blankets, oblivious of the deadly
work before them; but | could hear
the horses already moving uneasily at
and there the chilled figure of sentry
leaning upon his gun, oddly distorted
in form by the enveloping mist
Directly in advance Of where we
rested long hill sloped gently up
ward for perhaps hundred yards, its
crest topped with thick growth of
young oak-trees, yet seemingly devoid
of underbrush No troops were
camped in our immediate front, and
feeling curious to ascertain something
of our formation. as well as to ex-
anime the lay of the land between us
and the position occupied by the
enemy, walked slowly forward, un-
hindered. until | attained the crest.
The fog yet held the secret of the
valley safely locked within it's brown
hand. and could penetrate none of
its mysteries. 1t was like gazing
down from some headland into a ST.
lent. unvexed sea But directly across
from where | stood. apparently along
the summit of another chain Of low
hills similar to those we occupied,
could perceive the flames of numerous
campfires leaping up into sudden
radiance, while agains. the brighten

and the headquarters of some division
of the enemy must be across yonder.
AS gazed, other fires burst forth to

eye could carry through the gloom,

tinctly those advanced lines opposing
us. Experience told ine their position
must be strong one, and their force
heavy.
AS turned to mark or own forma-

behind the drifting powder cloud. The
ever-deepening roar Of ceaseless con-
test had moved westward down the
valley, when an aide wheeled his
smoking horse in front of the Colonel,
spoke dozen hasty words, pointed
impetuously to the left, and dashed
off down the line The men leaped

1t was long after dark the second
day when, thoroughly wearied, we
turned into an old tobacco field and
made camp for the night. To right
and left of our position glowed the
CHEEKY tires, telling where Early's
command bivouacked in line of battle.
From the low range of hills in front
of where we rested one could look
across an intervening valley. and see
ia off to the northward the dim
flames Which marked the position Of
the enemy. Down in the mysterious
darkness between, divided only by a
swift and narrow stream. were the
blue and gray pickets The opposing
forces were sleeping on their arms,

the morrow.
