c THE SCRANTON TKIBTTNE-FRIDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 7, 1894. THE RED BADGE OF COURAGE. 'An Episoie of tie Amsrican Civil War. . ( BY STEPHEN CRANE. Copyright, 1804, by the Author.! CHAPTER XIL The riflo was lowered to a position oi fcaution and his loud friend canio slow ly forward. Ho peered into the youth's fuce. "That you, Flem?" "Yes, it's me." ! "Well, well, Flora, ol' boy," said the loud one, "by ginger, I'm glad t' see ,ych. I give yell up fer a goner. I thought yeh was dead sure enough." il'here was husky emotion in his voice. The youth found that now he could jbarely stand upon his feet. There was ja sudden sinking of his forces. Uu jthonght ho must hasten to produce his talc to protect him from the missiles 'already at the lips of his redoubtable (comrade. So staggering before him he Ibegan: "Yes, yes. I'to I've had an 'awful time. IVo been all over. 'Way jover on th' right. Ter'blo flghtin' over 'there. I had an awful time. I got sep arated from th' reg'ment. Over on th' right, I got shot. In th' head. I never see sccli llghtiu'." . Tho loud private had stepped forward Quickly. "What? Got shot? Why didn't yeh say so at first. Toor ol' boy." ; Another figure jit at moment loomed in the gloom. They could see it was the corporal. "Who yeh talkin' ;to, Wilson?" he demanded, llis voice 'was anger-toued. "Who yeh talkin' 'to? You're the derndest sentinel (why -hello, Flem, you here? Why, I thought you was dead four hours ago. ;Ureat Jerusalem! they keep turnln' up !every ten minutes or so." "Over on th' right I got sep 'nrated" began tho youth with consid erable glibness. I But his loud friend interrupted hast ily. "Yes, an' he got shot in tho head jan' he's in a fix an' we must see to him right away." Ho rested his rifle in the Ihollow of his left arm and put his right jaround tho youth's shoulder, j "Gee! it must hurt like thunder," he isaid. ) The youth leaned heavily upon his (friend. "Yes, it hurts hurts a good ideal," he replied. There was a falter- iug in his voice. V , "Oh!" said the corporal, ne linked his arm in the youth's and drew him forward. "Come on. Flem. I'll take keer a' yeh." As they went on together, the loud private called out after them: 'Tut 'iin to sleep in my blanket, Simpson. An' hold on a minnit here's my canteen It's full of coireo." J The youth's senses were so deadened jthat his friend's voice Bounded from afar and ho could scarcely feel tho jpressure of the corporal's arm. He 'submitted passively to the hitter's di- liirHn cti.nrrtb TTiu Vionil wiia in 4 Via old manner hanging forward upon his breast. His knees wobbled. The corporal led him into the glare of the fire. ".Now, Flem," he said, "let's have look at yer or head." The youth sat, obediently, and the jcorpornl, laying down his rifle, began to fumble in the bushy hair of his com rade. He was obliged to turn the other's head so that the full flush of tho fire light would beam upon it. Ho puck ered his mouth with a critical air. He .drew back his lips and whistled 1 through his teeth when his fingers Jcame in contact with the splashed fblood and the rare wound. "Ah, here wo are," he said. He awk llwardly made further investigations, j "Jest as I thought," he added, present- l!y. " Yeh've been grazed by a ball." J The corporal went away. Tho youth ilrcmained on the ground like a parcel. lie stared with a vacant look into the ifire. (( After a time, lie aroused, for somo teart, and tho tilings about him be- form. He saw that the ground in the deep shad ows was clut tered with men, sprawling in ev ery conceivable posture. Glanc ing narrowly in the more distant darkness, ho caught occasion 1J al glimpses of visaces that f ykii'vk ukex onAZKD loomed pallid BY A BALL. und (jhostlv, lit (With a phosphorescent glow. These ; facos expressed in their lines the deep fctupor of the . tired soldiers. They made them appear like men drunk jwith wine. This bit of forest might jliavc appeared to an ethereal wanderer as a scene of the result of some fright- ilul debauch. The fire crackled musically. From it swelled light smoke. Overhead the ifoliage moved softly. The leaves with 'their faces turned toward tho blaze, were colored shifting hues of silver, (i)ften edged with red. Far off to the jright, through a window in tho forest, could be seen a handful of stars lying, Hike glittering pebbles, on the black lovd of the night v The youth sat in a forlorn heap until this friend, tho loud young soldier. fcamo swinging two canteens by their Bight strings. "Well, now, Fleming, lol boy," said tho latter, "we'll have Broil fixed up in just about a minnit." Ho had the bustling ways of art ama Iteur nurse, fie fussed around the fire and stirred tho sticks to brilliant ex crtions. Ilo made his patient drink largely froui tho canteen that con Jtained the coffee. It was to the youth h delicious draught no tilted his head afar back and held the canteen long to his lips. The cool mixture )went caressingly down his blistered throat Ilavioj finished, ho sighed "with comfortable delight The loud young soldier watched his comrade with an air of satisfaction. He later produced an extensive hand' ikerchief from his pocket He folded it (into a' manner of bandage and sousod water from the other canteen upon the middle of it This crude arrangement ';ho bound over the youth a head, tying jtho ends in a queer knot at the back of !the neck. i ''There," he Bald, moving oil and sur veying the deed, "yeh look like tho flevil, but I bet yeh feel better." The youth loolced at his friend with 'grateful eyes. Upon his aching and .(swelling head the'eool cloth was like tender woman's hand. . . I &2 ) Oi r. "Well, come now," continued his friencL "come on. I must put yeh t bed au1 see that yeh get a good night'a rest." The other got carefully erect and the loud young soldier led him among the sleeping forms lying in groups and rows. Presently he stopped and picked up his blankets. Ho spread tho rub ber one upon the ground and placed Alio woolen one about the youth's shoulders. "There now," he said, "lio down an' git some sleep." The youth with his manner of dog like obedienco got carefully down liko a crono stooping. Ho stretched out with a murmur of relief and comfort. The ground felt like tho softest couch.' . An exquisite drowsiness spread through him. The warm comfort of tho blanket enveloped him and made a gentle languor. His head fell forward on his crooked arm and his weighted lids went down softly over his eyes? Hearing a splatter of musketry from the distance, he wondered indifferently if those men ever slept. Ho gavo a long sigh, Buuggleddown into his blan j ket and in a moment was like his com rades. CHAPTER XIII. When the youth awoke, it seemed to him that he had been asleep for a thou sand years and he felt sure that ho opened his eyes upon an unexpected world. Gray mists were slowly shift ing before the first efforts of tho sun rays. An impending splendor could bo seen in tho eastern sky. An icy dow had chilled his fuce and immediately upon arousing he curled further down into his blanket. Ho stared for awhilo at the leaves overhead, moving in a heraldic wind of the day. I The distance was splintering and blaring with tho voices of fighting. There was in tho sound an expression of a deadly persistency as if it had not begun and was not to cease. About him were the rows and groups of men that he had dimly Been tho previous night. They were getting a last draught of sleep before awaken ing. Tho gaunt, careworn faces and dusty figures were inada plain by thia quaint light at the dawning, but it' dressed the skin of the men in corpse like hues and made the tangled limbs appear pulseless and dend. He heard the noiso of a fire cruckling briskly in the cold air, and, turning his head, ho saw tho loud soldier pot-' tering busily about a small blaze. A few other figures moved in the fog, and he heard tho hard cracking of ax blows. Suddenly there was a hollow rumble of drums. A distant bugle sang faint ly. Similar sounds, varying in strength, came from near and far over tlia forest. The bugles called to each other like brazen gamecocks. Tho near thunder of the regimental drums rolled. The body of men in the woods rustled. There was a general uplifting of heads. A murmuring of voices broke upon tho air. In it there was much bass of grumbling oaths. Strange gods were addressed in condemnation of the early hours necessary to correct war. An officer's peremptory tenor rang out and quickened tho stiffened movement of tho men. Tho tangled limbs unrav eled. The corpse-hued faces wero hidden behind fists that twisted slow ly in the eye-sockets. The youth sat up and gave vent to an enormous yawn. "Thunder!" ho remarked, petulantly. Ho rubbed his eyes, and then putting up his hand felt carefully ol tho bandage over his wound. His friend, perceiving him to be awake, came from the fire. "Well, Flem, ol' man, how do yeh feel this mornin ," he demanded. Tho youth yawned again. Then ho puckered his mouth to a bitter pucker. His head in truth felt precisely like a melon, and there was an unpleasant sensation at his stomach. "Oh, Lord, I feel pretty bad," ho said. At' the fireside, tho loud young sol dier watched over his comrade's wants with tenderness and care. He was very buny marshaling the little black vagabonds of tin-cups and pouring into them the steatning.irou-colored mixture from a small and sooty tin-puil. Ho had some fresh meat winch he roasted hurriedly upon a stick. Ho sat down then and contemplated the youth's ap petite with glee. "Tli reg'ment lost over half th' men yesterday," ho remarked, eventually. I thought a course they was all dead, but laws, they keep a-comin' back last night until it seems, after all, we didn't lose but a few. They'd been scattered all over, wanderin' around in the woods, flghtin' with other reg'ments an' everything. Jest like you done." A sputtering of musketry wus always to be heard. Later, the cannon hnd entered the dispute. In the fog-filled air, their voices made a thudding sound. Tho youth's regiment was marched to relieve a command that had lain long in some damp trenches. The men took positions behind a curving line of rifle-pits that had been turned up, like a large furrow, along tho line of woods. Before them wus a level stretch, peo pled with short, deformed stumps. From tho woods beyond camo the dull popping of the skirmishers and pickets, firing in the fog. From the right camo tho noiso of a terrific fracas. The men cuddled behind the small embankment and sat in easy attitudes awaiting thoir turn. Many had their backs to tho firing. The youth leaned his breast against the brown dirt and peered over at tho woods and up and down the line. Cur tains of trees interfered with his ways of visiou. Ho could see tho low line of trenches but for a short distance. A fow idle flags were perched on the dirt- hills. Behind them wero rows of dark bodies with a few heads sticking curiously over the top. Always the nolsaof skirmishers came from' tho woods on the front and left, and the din on the right had grown to frightful proportions. .The guns were roaring without an instant's pause for breath. It seemed that tho cannon had come from all parts and wero ' engaged in a stupendous wrangle. It became almost Impossible to make a seutonco heard. Among the men in tho riflo pits, rumors again flew liko birds. However, they were now, for the most part, croaking creatures who flapped their wings dreafily near to the ground and refused to rise on any wings of hope. Iho men's faces grew doleful from the interpreting of many omens. Tales of hesitation and uncertainty on tho part of those high in place, and re' sponsibility, came to thoir curs. . Stories of disaster were borne in to their minds with many proofs. This din of mus , Ketry on tao ngnt, growing like., a re? leased genie of sound, expressed and emphasized the army's plight. Before the gray mists had been total ly obliterated by the sunrays, tho reg iment was marching in a spread col umn that was retiring carefully through the woods. The disordered, hurrying lines of tho enemy could sometimes be seen down through the groves and little fields. They were yelling, shrill and exultant The youth's friend had a geograph ical illusion concerning a stream, and he obtained permission to go for some water. Immediately canteens were showered upon him. "Fill mine, will yeh?" "Bring mo some, too." "And me, too." Ilo departed, ladencd. The youth went with his friend. Upon their return they looked over their own troops, and saw mixed musses slowly getting into regular form. The sun light made twinkling points of the bright steel. To the rear there was a glimpse of a distant roadway as it curved over a slope. It was crowded with retreating infantry. From all the interwoven forest arose the smoke and bluster of tho battle. Tho air was al ways occupied by a blaring. Near whero they stood, shells wero flip-flopping and hooting. Occasional bullets buzzed in tho air and spanged into tree-trunks. Wounded men and other Btragglers were slinking through the woods. Looking down an aisle of tho grove, the youth and his companion saw a jangling general and his staff ulmost rido upon a wounded man who was crawling on his hands and knees. Tho general reined strongly at his charger's opened and foamy mouth and guided it with dexterous horsemanship past the .,.., M'l, 1.. f ..r. c. .,.., I In ...il.l I 4.IIU At V W. OV 1U UllU M U H lilt and tortxring haste. His strength evi dently failed him as he reached a place of safety. Ouo of his arms suddenly weakened, and ho fell, sliding over upon his back. Ho lay stretched out, breathing gently. A moment later, the small, creaking cavalcade was directly in front of tho two soldiers. Another officer, riding with the skillful abandon of a cowboy, galloped his horse to a position directly before the general. The two unno ticed foot soldiers made a little show of going on.but they lingered in the de sire to overhear the conversation. Per haps, they thought, some great inner historical things would be said The rreneral. who tho bovs knew as i the commander of the division, looked nt the otllcer and spoil e coolly, as if he . - were criticising his clothes. "The enemy's formiu' over there for another charge," he said. "It'll be directed arainst Wintorside.an' I'm afraid they'll break through there unless we work liko thunder to 6top them." Then ho began to talk rapidly and in a lower tone. He frequently illustrated his words with a pointing finger. Tho two infantrymen could hear nothing until finally ho asked: "What troops can you spare?" The oflicer who rodo like a cowboy reflected for on instant. '"Well," he said, "I had to order in the Twelfth to help th' Seventy-sixth an' I haven't really got any. Troops arc scarce with me. Hut there's tho Three Hundred and Fourth. They fight like a lot of ruulo drivers. I can spare them best of any." The youth and his friend ej:changcd glances of astonishment. The general spoke sharply. "Get 'cm ready then. I'll watch developments from here and send you word when to start them. It'll happen in fivo min utes." As tho other oflicer tossed his finders toward his cap and, wheeling his horse, started away, tho general called out to him in a sober voice: "I don't believe many of your mule drivers will get back." The other shouted something in re ply. Ilo bmilud. With scared faces, tho youth and his companion hurried back to the lino. As they approached, the younjf lieu tenant, who commanded tho company, perceived them and swelled with wrath. "Fleming Wilson how long does it take yeh t' git water, anyhow where yeh been" llut his oration ceased as he saw their eyes which were lurge with great tules. "We're goin' to charge," cried tho you til's friend, hastening with his news. "Charge'.'" said tho lieutenant. "Charge? Well, b'Gawd." Over his countenance there went a boastful smile. "Charge? Well, b'Gawd." A little group of soldiers surrounded the two youths. "Are we, sure 'nough? Well, I'll ba denied. Charge? What fer? What at? Wilson, you're lyin'." "I hope to die," said tho youth, pitching his tones to tho key of angry re monstrance. 14 Kill nc fclmnt ir- ' Jng, i tell you.'' "ciiakoe? charge?" And his friend "Ue in reinforcement. " Not by a blame sight, ho ain't lyin'. We heard emtnlkin'." They caught sight of two mounted figures u short distance from them. Ono was tho colonel of the regiment and the other was the officer who had received orders from tho commander of the division. They were gesticulating at each other. Tho youth, pointing at them, Interpreted tho scene. The men settled back, then, in re , v. " - " poseful attitudes with airs of having accepted the matter. And they mused upon it, with a hundred varieties of ex pression. It was an engrossing thing to think about. Many tightened their belts carefully and hitched at their trousers. A moment later, the .officors began to bustle among the men, pushing them into a more compact mass and into a better alignment. They chatied those that straggled and fumed at a ,fcw men who seemed to show by their attitudes that they liad deaided to re main at that spot. '' Presently tho regiment Seemed to draw Itself up and heave a deep breath. None of the men's faces were mirrors of largo thoughts. The sol diers were bended and stooped like springers before a signal. Many pair of glinting eyes peered from' the grimy faces toward tho curtains of tho deeper woods. They seemed to be engaged in deep calculation of time and distance i They were surrounded by the noises of tho monstrous altercation between the two armies. Tho world was fully interested in other matters. Appar ently, the regiment had its small affair to itself. . , The youth, turning, shot a quick', inquiring glance at his friend. It was as if he had been stunned. Tho latter returned to him tho same manner of look. They wero the only ones who possessed an inner knowledge. "Mule drivers don't believe many will get back." It was an ironical secret Still, they saw no hesitation in each other's faces und they nodded a mute and un protcsting assent when a shaggy man near them said in a meek voice: "We'll git swallercd." to be cosci.udkd. ' SATISFACTORY TERMS. lie Didn't Grumble at What lie Had to Pny for Ilia Rill. Ilo had made a hearty mcul at one of the restaurants near the Third street depot, says tho Detroit Freo Press, and as he roso up, with his hand in his pocket, he said to tho proprietor: "Two years ago in tho Sandwich is lands I met a man from this town." "The bill is fifty-five cents," said tho proprietor as he crooked his finger. "Yes, I know, and tho man casually observed that some day or other I might find myself in this town." ! Please hand over your bill, sir." "Certainly, and he added Khixt if I ever did and felt hungry and wus dead broke to call on you. Ilo couldn't re .momber your name, but he said you were the man with tho big heart." "I want fifty-five cents, sir!" said the proprietor. "I know you do, and tho man added that while you didn't profess to run an orphan asylum you never refused to chalk it down in the case of an unfor tunate. You may put my account on the slate." "You pay cash or get tho boot," said the proprietor as ho camo out from be hind the counter. 1 "That was another matter he re ferred to," continued tho 6trangor, ."He said that at rare intervals you gave a man the boot, but the kicks were few in number and lightly adminis tered. If, in your judgment " : "In my judgmont I'll kick your heels over your head!" shouted tho pro prietor, as he seized him and led him to the door. "The Dctroiter whom I met In tho Sandwich Islands said that you some times blustered and blowed around, but it was only for moral effect." "I'll moral effect you, you old dead beat! Take that and that and that!" Seven vigorous kicks were adminis- tered, tho last of which lifted tho man lnto the street- Ho crossed over, a -1 -1 & turned about on the curbstone, and called across: "I counted 'em, and thero were only seven. Seven times eight aro fifty-six, or not quite eight cents a kick. Say, old man, I liko your large-hearted and liberal way of doing tilings.
