From the low range of hills IN front

and then, with clash and clatter that
drowned all other sounds, a battery of

watched a large force of infantry
move slowly past us up the long slope
until they halted in line Of battle just
behind it's summit, the advanced files
lying flat upon their faces and peer
ing over. But no orders came for US.
Nearly noon by the red sun hiding
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 a dozen hasty words, pointed
i~mpetuously to the left, and dashed
off down the line. The men leaped
to their feet in eager expectancy, and

We moved westward down the long,
bare slope In the sunshine, through a

and along a narrow, rocky defile lead
ing into a deep revine. At the mouth
of the ravine we came forth into the
broad valley, and halted. Just In
front of US, scarcely a nalf-mile dis
tant, were the fighting lines, partially
enveloSed In dense smoke, out from
which broke patches of blue or gray,

wind swept aside the fog Of battle.
