ONE SKIRMISH

THIRD ARMY. WIGGJNS. Miss.
Aug. s. (UP)---The Blue" army
claimed victory last night over
"Brown" forces attempting to
save "Lost Battalion"
II was the only Skirmish won
by the theoretical defenders Of
the South who were steadily push
cd back by the invaders.
The "lost" Third Battalion Of
the l67th Alabama Infantry had
been wandering amleSsly in the
rear of the Blue lines before it
finally reioincd Brown forces.
The Second Battalion, sent to find
and aid the lost troops, was re-
pulsed by superior fighting power
and strategy Of the ll7th Tcnncs-
sec Infantry.
In other battles, the conccn-
tratcd power Of nearly the entire
Brown army was thrown against
the Blues after the Fourth DiviS-
ion marched six miles across
rough country to join the invad-
crS.
Brown infantrymcn penetrated
Blue lines to capture rs gun
from the 18th North Carolina
Field Artillery. While returning,
an advance patrol of seven men
walked into machine gun nest
Of fourteen men, commanded by
Lieut.. Chas. P. Green, Jackson.
There was no umpire present and
Il resulting argument was settled
with fists and rifle butts. Three
men tackled Green and many
paper outlets" were fired at
close range, inflicting painful but
not serious injuries. The Browns
brought back several prisoners
with the gun.
Another skirmish took place
during the retreat Of the 59th
South Carolina Infantry when it
met the Goth North Carolina In
fantry coming to the front for
support. Both staged a theoretical
battle until daybreak. Then the
men began a fist fight because
neither had identified itself ear
lier.
While retrcating under cover
of darkness, the 59th South Caro-
lima infantry met its relief, the
Goth North Carolina infantry,
moving up to. the front lines.
Through faulty Identification
each group began to theoretical
battle which lasted until day
break. Then the men recognized
one another and began arguing
about why the other regiment
didn't identify itself. The dispute
ended in fist fight.

to bring lack large number of trees.
The ship WAS under the command of
1t. Bligh, who sailed for the island of
Tahiti and found many handsome
trees of the right age for transplant
ing.
The trees were loaded aboard and
the ship left Tahiti on that dramatic
cruise in which trouble between the
sailors and their leader became so in
tense that 1t. Bligh and few others
were set adrift, the mutineers taking
the vessel back to Tahiti. After great
suffering and many days of despair,
Bligh and his followers reached Eng
land and reported the mutiny. Later
in 1893. Bligh was again given the
same commission and was successful
in bringing to the West Indies a fine
cargo Of bread-fruit trees. The tree
is now widely grown in many tropical
countries.
The bread-fruit tree belongs to a
genus of 40 species that contains many
tropical plants native to the East
Indies. The tree rarely reaches a
height Of more than 40 feet. 1t has a
sticky, milky juice. The branches are
brittle, the leaves from l to feet long
and feathery in outline. The stam-
mate (male) flowers appear in a dense
club-shaped golden catkin from 10 to
16 inches in length. The pistillate
(female) flowers are in a subglobular
prickly head. having spongy con-
tainer
The fruit, globular shape and 4 to 6
inches in diameter, is called bread

fruit because the ripened fruit has
both the consistency and taste of fresh
bread. 1t is ripe the year round and
offers many acceptable ways Of being
served. The South Sea Islanders look
upon the bread-fruit as their most
important food and they cook it in
many ways. Sometimes it is boiled
and served with milk It may be
baked in hot ashes and the tender
white pulp served with sauce, gravy
or milk, or it may be served cold in
what we would call salad. The seeds
also are eaten.
The bread-fruit tree needs a hot,
moist climate with an abundance of
water and excellent drainage. It grows
slowly from cuttings of young lateral
growth. Several botanical gardens in
the North have succeeded in growing q
few trees for educational purposes, As
the tree has such economic importance

thin lips pressed themselves together.
He turned abruptly and strobe away.
Late that night former Sheriff Blair
reached his ranch. He went inside
and took down the brace Of six-shoot-
ers with the worn walnut handles and
buckled them about his waist.
Outside he roped fresh mount
and headed into the hills. AS he rode
Amos thought OF his son Milt. He
thought Of the day Milt's mother had
died and the oath he had taken to
care for the boy and rear him &C.
cording to the code that was the only
creed men respected in this wild and
untamed land. A code of courage and
honesty and square shooting.
He had watched the boy develop,
and he was proud, for Milt had his
mothers gentleness and rigid sense Of
justice on which his father had al
ways prided himself.
Early in the boys career Amos had
taught his son the way of the desert.
He had taught him to shoot straight
and quick, to respect the laws Of ma
ture and the laws of man.
He had taught the boy all he knew.
He had blinded himself to possible
weaknesses in the lads character. Yet
down deep in his heart he knew that
all the teaching and all the advice
and help would be Of little avail II the
boys character was not composed Of
the stun which makes desert men.
The old man sighed heavily. He
reused himself and saw that dawn
was streaking the eastern horizon.
The hills were not far away.
The sun had fiung its first shafts
Of orange flame across the floor Of
the desert when Amos found beaten
trail and started upward. An hour
later he dismounted before log hut,
turned loose his horse and went in
side. The room was comfortably
furnished with crude appointments.
The old man and his son had come
here often to hunt and fish and talk
and plan for the future. None but
they knew of the hideout's existence.
It was their secret, . refuge to which
both escaped when the cares Of the
life they lived down below lay heavy.
Amos moved about mechanically.
He put coffee on to boil and opened
eanof fruit. When he had eaten and

them. His body seemed to sag. An in
describable sadness came into his eyes.
He turned and with dragging steps
went back into the cabin. It was as
he had feared. Milt was coming to
him for sanctity. Milt knew he would
be at the hideout. He lacked the cour-
age to face the thing alone. He had
no scruples about the disgrace he
would bring upon his father. And
because Amos remembered the dying
look in the eyes of Milt's mother he
knew that he could not turn the boy
away.
He stood for . moment, a beaten
old man, bitter, unhappy. Then abb
ruptly he lifted his head and straight
ened his figure and one hand stole
toward the gun that remained tn its
holster.
A quarter mile below on the trail
that led up from the desert young
Milt Blair heard the mufied report
Of the gun and drew up suddenly.
The terror that had dwelt In his eyes
during the past hour was replaced
by curiosity. then new and strange
fear. Without looking back again he
urged his fatigued mount to faster
gait.
Entering the cabin, young Milt saw
first the gun on the table. Then he
saw his fathers still figure sprawled
across the floor.
He stood for . minute without NOV
ing, and in that moment he heard
his fathers voice as though the old
man still lived and were once more
teaching him the code. Of the desert.
Courage, son. Courage Is the basic
law"
Young Milt vet his lips. His eyes
moved slowly toward the table where
lay the second gun. Outside he heard
the distant, triumphant shouts Of
men. His body grew straight and 4
light came into his eyes that was
similar to that which had dwelt in
the eyes of his father. With drm
step he moved toward the table whore
lay the second gun with the smooth
worn walnut handle.
And 30 when the new sheriff and
his posse arrived they found that,
after all they had misjudged the
character Of the sheri6's son.
