CHAPTER XIV.
A Lost Regiment.

1t was bright, sunshiny Gay in
early spring. Birds We're sweetly sing
ing in the trees lining the road l was
travelling. l must have shown my late
illness greatly, for the few met, as
tramped slowly onward, mostly sol
diers, gazed at me curiously, as If they
mistook me for the ghost of some
dead comrade; and l doubt not my
pale face. yet bearing the deep imprint
of pain, with the long. untrimmed hair
framing it, and the blood-stained,
ragged uniform, the same wore that
fierce day of battle, rendered me an
object of wonder.
All through those long, weary win
ter weeks 1 had been lowering be-
tween life and death in an obscure
hospital at Richmond. The moment
the door was opened to permit of my
passing forth into the world again,
sought eagerly to discover the present
station of my old comrades in arms,
yet could learn only that the cavalry
brigade with which l had formerly
served was in camp somewhere near
AppomattoX Court House. On foot
and moneyless, set off alone, my sole
anxiety to be once more with friends;
and now, at the beginning Of the Sec
ond day, was already beyond Peters
burg. and sturdily pushing westward.
AS the road swerved slightly to the
left, passing through grove of hand
some trees, I came suddenly opposite
large house of imposing aspect. A
group of Confederate officers stood In
converse beside the gate leading into
the open driveway. and as paused a
moment, gazing at them and wonder

of battle In the valley. no attempt
was made to conceal our weakness,
nor to disguise the fact that we were
making last desperate stand. 1t was
evident to all that nothing now re-
NAMED but to fold our tattered battle
flags with honor.
Directly opposite me, at the long
and rather scantily furnished mess
table, was seated a captain of infan-
try, quite foreign in appearance
tall, slender man, wearing a light-col-
ored moustache and goatee. His
name, as l gathered from the CONVEX
sation, was Carlson, and l was con-
siderably surprised at the fxedness
with which his eyes were fastened
upon me during the earlier part of the
meal. Thinking we might have met

another voice spoke sternly What is

He grasped my hand warmly be-

At the foot of narrow ravine lead
ing forth into the broader valley, we
came to covered army wagon, to
which four mules had been already at
tached. The canvas was drawn aside,
and was lifted up and carefully de-
posted In the hay that thickly covered
the bottom. 1t was SO intensely dark
within could see nothing of my i'm
mediate surroundings, but low moan
told me there must be at least one
other wounded man present. Outside
I heard the tread of horses hoofs, and
then the sound of Mosby's voice.

with as much care as possible. Take
the lower road after you cross the
bridge, and you will meet with no pa

a faint glimmer Of stars, but could
distinguish little else.

er. We shall guard you as long as
necessary, and then must leave you
to the kindly ministrations of the
driver"
He reached in, leaning down from
his saddle to do so, drew the blanket
somewhat closer about me, and was
gone. caught the words of sharp,
short order, and the heavy wagon
lurched forward. its wheels humping
over the Irregularities in the road,
each jolt sending fresh spasm Of
pain through my tortured body.
May the merciful God ever protect
me from such ride again! 1t seemed
interminable, while each long mile
we travelled brought with it new and
greater agony of mind and body.
The hours that followed were all
but endless. 1 knew we had reached
the lower valley, for the road became
more level, yet the slightest jolting
now was sufficient to render me
crazed with pain, and l had lost all
power Of restraint. Ny tortured
nerves throbbed; the fever gripped
me, and my mind began to wander.
Visions of delirium came, and l
dreamed dreams too terrible for rec
ord: demons danced on the drifting
clouds before me, while whirling saw
ages chanting in horrid discord stuck
my frenzied body full of blazing
brands. At times 1 was awake, call
ing in vain for water to quench a
thirst which grew maddening, then /
lapsed into semi-consciousness that
drove me wild with its delirious fan
cies. knew vaguely that the Major
had crept back through the darkness
and passed his strong arm gently be-
meath my head. l heard him shouting
in his deep voice to the driver for
something to drink, but was unaware
of any response. All became blurred
confused, bewildering. l thought ii
was my mother comforting me- The
faint gray daylight stole in at last
through the cracks of the wagon
cover; could dimly distinguish 6
dark face bending over me, framed by
a heavy gray beard, and then, mercifu
inconsistencies came, and 1 rested
as one dead.
