CHI A PIER LXIII,
A Heroic Mother

James Bride, who drew me to
Campbell, by asking for "something
to Quench thirst" was one of the
thousands who died of flesh-wounds,
for want of surgical trap doors, thru
which nature might throw out her
chips. His wound was in the hip and
no opening ever was made to the cen
ter of the injury, except that made
by the bullet which had gone in and
staid there.
His mother came three days before
he died, and being minus hoops and
finery, the ward surgeon was anxious
she should remain with her son, and
we arranged that she should sleep in
my room. There was just space be-
tween the cot and wall for the
breadth of q mattress, and when the
door was shut, that space was long
enough for me to lie between the
door and the stand. have never en-
tertained guest more cheerfully, or
one by whose presence l felt more
honored; yet the travelling costume
was a short calico dress. strong leath-
er shoes and blue wooden stockings,
visible below the dress, a bingham
sunbonnet and double-bordered cap
tied under her chin.
Several richly dressed ladies came
from Eastern cities to see dying rela-
tives, but to none Of them were the
surgeons so thoroughly respectful, as
to this plain, strong, clean, high-soul-
ed country-wOman, who staid with
her son, and was hailed with joy by
all the men in his ward, to every one
of whom she was sympathetic and
helpful.
Her case was hard. She and her
husband, who was old and feeble. had
just three sons, two strong and vigor-
GUS, one a cripple. Their two vigor-
Gus sons enlisted together, and fell in
the charge on Marie's Hin, within ten
feet and ten minutes of each other.
and she had come to see James die in
hospital.
When all was over and her boy was
carried to the dead house, they brot
her to me. and l have never heard
such pathetic, eloquent expressions Of
grief as those she poured forth in
that little, rough, barrack-room.
"Oh, William! William!" she Sob
bed, you are lying, tonight, in your
bloody grave, and your mother will
James! you were my f1rst-born. but I
cannot go to you now, where you lie
in the darkness among the dead! Oh,
but it is a sad story I must carry to
your old father, to bring his gray
hairs in sorrow to the grave. Who
can we lean upon, in our old age?
Who will take care of Johnny when
we are gone? Oh, it is a hard, hard
lot."
She wrung her hands, bowed over
her knees, in a paroxysm of. tears,
then raised herself, threw back her
head, and exclaimed.
But oh! boys dear, wouldn't
rather you were where you are this
night, than that you had thrown down
your guns and rum"

I cannot say that Mccain was par

weight of the waves increased as

I dashed an oar upright to thwart,
bracing it securely by ropes to oar
locks on either SIDE; then secured the
broken paddle handle as a spar, notch

up the tarpaulin, being compelled to
use rope-ends to secure it in position.

to keep the fellow at safe distance,

along, as we stared out dull-eyed on
the same vista OF sea and sky. The
girl and / talked, avoiding as much as
possible all reference to our situation,
and the fate of the yacht, our CONVEX

part. | had been at the steering oar
SO long, staring out into that drear ex-

muscle of my body ached, and my eyes
could scarcely be forced to remain
open. In the silence she must have no.

''Why, never thought! you must be

night. You feel competent"
"Why, of course; you saw me steer.

few hours"

grasp the oar, and slip into my seat.
"Really feel as if I must" I said
regretfully, "and there can be no dam
ger while things keep as they are. Call
me, though, if there is a change in the
weather, for that jury mast will never

I must have slept for several hours
undisturbed, for, when finally opened
my eyes once more the sky above us
was beginning to turn purple with twi-.
light, and the breeze had failed, so that
the sail tapped idly against it's impro-
vised mast. This, perhaps, was the
noise which had aroused me. / sat up
wide awake instantly, and stared about
me in the boat. There was little
change noticeable; Miss Vera still
chung to the steering oar, showing no
outward signs of WEAKNESS, and greet

and sat playing idly with an open jack
knife.
Il bear testimony that you slept well,

CHAPTER VII.
| Enforce Authority..

Scarcely had we taken this new
course when the sun, now well above
the horizon, a red ball of fire, burst
through a rift in the clouds, and the
waters in our wake became a trail OF
crimson. The encircling mist seemed
rent aSunder by some invisible power,
whirling away like wreaths Of smoke
blown by the wind, and yielding us
broad view to where sky and ocean
met. Our straining eyes caught no
where a signal of life sr hope. no CLEAN
Of distant soil, no black shadow OF
smoke. we were alone in the drear
waste of water, with not even speed
ing seagull to break the dull vista OF
warning sea and sky.
l forced myself to turn away from
the grim fascination, back to the boat
in which we f1oated. Mccain had sunk
down abaft the jury mast, and rested
there hanging over the side, staring
moodily down into the green water.
His heavy face exhibited no. interest
and looked almost brutal in the gariSh
light. Lord, how the appearance OF
the man had changed! Could this be
with on the quarterback of the Esmer-
aida only two days before? Why, then
he had been the life of the company,
full of humOr, a bit rough in speech to
be sure, and drinking more than waa
necessary, yet apparently good Eel
low. But noW-Why, he actually had
the aspect of brute; aye, and like
wise the manners of one. A single
night of danger and exposure had suf-
feed to bring to the surface his true
character, had stripped off the veneer,
and proven him bullying coward, in
efficient, and unwilling. felt my teeth
close tightly as / looked at him, but
relief came when I turned toward the
girl, seated near me. She must have
felt the intentness with which I re-
garded her, for she turned suddenly, a
flush sweeping her cheeks.

way those clouds and waves blend

like that of a tiger cat" I answered.
perhaps we had better breakfast,
Miss Vera let me see your bag Of bis
cults by daylight"
She brought them forth, together
with the jug. A little sea water had
seeped into the bag and the outer lay
ers were more or less mildewed, yet
enough remained sweet and wholesome
to give me hope Of their sustaining us
until we should be picked up by Some
passing vessel. The water jug, how
ever, was only half-flled and must be
sparingly used.
"We will go on short rations," [ an
nounced, breaking a biscuit with my
knife. "Just enough to keep us from
starving. Here, Mccain, is your por-

and sat there motionless. There was
nothing I could do, or say, for l had
