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

(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

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

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."

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,

turned about on the curbstone, and
called across:
"I counted 'em, and thero were only
