I, of course, gladly accompanied
him. I was an aid on the - division
staff, and had been.sent up with this
detachment to bring instant news of
disaster should any occur, as .well as
to report all events of importance
from a headquartert point of view.
I. Was always 'willing to be On band

This night of which I am writing,
with perhaps half a dozen others, is
marked in m,y memory, and stands
distinct from all the nights - of long

for its imminent peril as for the wild
picturesqueness of- its,aceks , sories.-,
We turned our batiks on the fire, and
stumbled on among the dimly-illum

walked up past,the picket rope where
thelertillery horses stood, ready liar

blabk caissons, up to the parapet
where the gun squads crouched be

away to the southward a red glow
lit up the horizon where the two
great tidal waves of Union- and Se

and where, . very likely, shots were
ringing and flames roaring in -the '
night. Near us, however, all was
stillness, and we crossed the em
bankment and walked silently down
the (steeply-eloping road. We ad
vanced home two hundred yards, and
then paused as we heard an. ominous
double click. :The captain whistled
so tly, and was answered' „from the

and a whispered consultation.with

There wiie. one 'among these
lows with whom, from the first, I
foreseen trouble: A thick-set t i al
dog he- was, Pete McGee by nil
and, a " Pardowner " by birth. I
had always some' faiilt to find a 1
his pay, was always gruwbling,
continually shirking his work,
withal it., mighty thinker, . and w
drunk a mighty man. to hied 4
crowd. Our antipathy 'tik one am
er seethed to be led :to a 'climai
fortune, and I had 4loodreason 7 '
lieve that twice , already had Pe
- stigated an' attack on mein my h
said attacks having been easil
polled by sundrydischarges o
tl
revolver at a high elevation.
One del.! was watching °lb
,bore of, a gaitg who were shove
dirt off , a drain Which had been fi
by a recent storm. I noted that I
wan shirking frightfully by takin
mighty small quantity of earth
his spade,. and throwing it as al
a distance as'possible. He saw t
I noticed him, and by a muttered
mark to his companions' he let tb
know that he did. In a few minu
I. saw that the ,whole gang had w
of the shirking of Pete and my
servance thereof. 1 I made up
mind to have it out with him, for
sake of disciplines I had with
three and 1 a half foot 'stick whi '
always carried for measuring
poses, a good, stout, hard can
hickory, of which, thanks to a 1
residence With-an old English , b
woodsman, I knew - also the use ,
self-defence.
" Pete," said I, "if you don't do
your full .share of work from t' iii
time on, your name. goes off the r I ll
to-morrow night and you leave
the next train.' Pete stopped w ork '
aid looked at me a moment from n
der his shaggy brows, then , lea ed
his spade against the ditch-si e,
hitched qp his trousers, removed is
dndeen from his mouth and attic it
in his hat, and then climbed slo ly
I I
out of the ditch. "Pete's shilla h
-and brown jug were never far f m
him, and he walked .cooly tow rd
them, remarking, "Ye dirty scalp n I
I'll brake the head of ye '
sure IA e
name's 4 Pete McGee, an' ye' may tk'
me name off the roll and be dam d
to ye." In an instant he had his it
of black thorn in his hand, and kn k
ing his hat o ft: pipe and all, he tie t
ined his beltland came• toward e,
as ugly looking a specimen as y w
would wish to meet. I heard a m
remark, " Boys , here's a discussi n
wid shticks shine enough, "ands w

round to sec that there were no roll
ing stones pr the like to step on,\ and
made up my mind to fight it out.,—
" Pete McGee," said I, as he drew
near, ";you'd better think twice be
fore you do if." " Mould yet tongue,
will ye:? I've stood yet tyranny
long . enough," was the only reply I
received, and in a moment Pete had
struck. I had parried, and we were
at it. If any of you have happened
to see quarter-staff play on board a
man-of-war, you will _appreciate the
game, Some hundred men take tk i e
sticks at a time and pair off in twro
lines on thec_niain deck. Very of n
any two' men Who have a quarrel set
tle it by getting opposite one another
and pitching
_in. I have seen some
pretty sharp fights at such times.--
fete was evidently an old hand at
the sticks, and had doubtless figured
in former days at many a bounty fair
in the old country. So I stood on the
defensive, catching blows like flail
strokes, aimed .at head, leg and side
with astonishing rapidity. Pete was
evidently surprised at finding m 9 -an
fait with the sticks, and in truth I
had all I could do to keep him-irom
breaking my head. As it was; e
gave me an ugly crack on'the 1 ft
shoulder,. And bit me slightly c
where once or twice before I let h"
know that I could strike.
,it length emboldened by, r y
continued attitude or ;bream, he t
tempted to break my guard and he
at the, same time by a downwa d
blow nearly aorreSponding to i e
seventh cut of the broadsword ex r
else. It is,no joke to parry a blo
of that kind struck by such a wri t
as• Pete bad, for a slight defiectieb f
the blow will disable-Icor knuckle ,
and if you are not up to the dothi,
your own atic4 will be_ striven 46wit

sealed Pete's fate. I I received lt on
