pens to you? Most of the farmers
have telephones"
"Oh, nothing will happen to tele-
phone about. 1t will be a very quiet
day with me-"
In half an hour Mr.. BOwser was
off, carrying a market basket on his
arm. He was as pleased as a boy
on his way to circus.
1t was about two o'clock in the after
noon when the telephone rang me up
and a strange voice asked:
as this Mrs. BOwser?"
"Yes."
Mrs. Samuel BOwser?"
"Yes, that is correct. Who are you,
please?"
MY name is Ballard. and I'm a
farmer about ten miles from the city
on the old Boston road. Can't you
take the trolley car. which runs right
by my door, and come out here?"
But why should come out there?"
l asked, q chill Of fear coming over
me.
Because there's q short, fat, bald
headed man here who says he's Sam
hr,c nd
dead, so you needn't be alarmed. He
has simply met with an incident and
maybe you will have to stay for day
or two, but I'll make it as pleasant as
/ can. Mr.. BOwser sent you his love
and thinks you'd better come out"
do you mean that an accident has
happened to Mr.. BOwser?" l asked.
"Well, you might call it an accident.
but call it an incident. An accident
is where you cut your foot with the
Ak. but Nr. Bowser hasn't cut his foot.
An accident Is when you fall out of a
tree and break both legs, and Mr.. Bow
ser has had no fall and no broken
legs. You had better put on your bon
net and come out"
tried hard to get the farmer to tell
me Just what had happened, but he
seemed to have good reasons for hold
ing back the truth. This increased my
fears, of course, and soon got ready
for a trip. All the way out to Farmer
Billiards. l was so pale and nervous
that all the passengers on the car no
ticed me, and three or four women
came over to me and said they hoped
that nothing serious had occurred. The
farmer was at his gate as l got on
the car, and the first question i asked
him was:
rs Mr.. Bpwser dead?" 4.
.Why, no, ma'am," he replied
Come right in and you'll see him
alive. No need to be alarmed about
him."

Estimates by experts show that the

would not be sufficient in the coming
year for this and other demands. Farm
ers who own land suitable for the pur-
pose will be offered subsidies, and the

! several days. in order to escape the
clutches OF the Yankees.
Bidding that noble family good
bye, We rode about two miles down
the lane, in the direction from where
we supposed the foraging party
would come. The lane had bend in
the middle, where we could see any
one approaching us from either di-
rection.
Waiting till afternoon In the broil-
Ing sun we were almost famished
for water, so we mounted and rode
down the lane TO where there was n
negro quarter. and while drinking
at the well saw n cloud OF dust down
the lane and knew that a force OF
FEDERAL cavalry was approaching.
and warning the negroes that death
would be their portion, II they told
the Yankees OF our presence. we
rode out about one hundred yards
into n thickly wooded piece OF land
near tho quarters. tied our hoses to
fence, got over the fence into a
corn field, and moved up to the
mouth OF the lane near the negro
! quarters and awaited the apL. zach
of the enemy's advance guard.

In column of twos. about one hun
dred yards in advance of a train OF
wagons. with n heavy rear guard

order in which they were marching,

The two scouts insisted that we
should attack them. and as was

should lead them. so my pride pre-
vailed over my better judgment, and
when the advance guard came nearly
opposite to US, gave the command
to fire. and 30 rapidly and deadly
was our fire, that every saddle in
the advance guard was emptled be-
fore they could draw their rifles
from their scabbards.
| From commotion, rattle OF wag-
ons. and clang OF sabres and loud
commands of the officers in COM
mand, I feared that we would he
cut off from our horses, so I gave
| the command to retreat to our
horses. and throwing off some OF
the top rails we leaped our horses
over the fence and commenced a
zig-zag run down the corn rows and
made the swamp on White river at
the back OF tho field.
While the federals, instead OF en-
deavoring to cut us off from our
horses, as supposed, wheeled about,
wagons and all. and went at full
speed. never Hating until they
