The war wasn't much of a bother to
HillabgrouRh. for the town was remote
from the Held of operations. Occa
sionally news' would come that made
the women cry out and the old men
weep, but the Intervals were Ion be
tween these episodes, and to all appear
ances affairs moved forward as serene
ly as ever. ' - ,
This was during the. tlrst year or two
of the struggle. Then came the Im
pressment law, which created bad feel
' lugs and caused a good deal of grum
bling. Following this came the con
script act, which mado matters much
worse,' especlaly when strange ' men
were sent to enforce It. - This disturbed
the, serenity of Hillsborough very se
rtousjy. Nevertheless, Hillsborough could
hhve'put up with the conscript act but
for one event that stirred the little com
munity from center to circumference,
l'he conscript officers had not been
In the town a week before they pounced
upon little Billy Cochran, the sole sup
port of his widowed mother, who was
known throughout that region as Aunt
Hally. i Little Billy himself was a puz
gle to the more thoughtful people. He
was so simple and lnnocent-mlnded, So
rVady to Uo for others what he wouldn't
1 v'i"Jl
'What In the Round World Is tho Matter,
Honey?'
do for himself, that some said he was
a half-wit, while others contended that
he would have sense enough If his
heart wasn't so big.
But everybody liked little Billy for
his mother's sake, if not for his own.
for Aunt Sally was, indeed, a Good
Samaritan. She seemed to know by
Instinct where trouble and sickness and
ufferlng were to be found, and there,
too, she was to be found. High or low,
rich or poor, she pased none by. And,
though she was simple and as lnnocent
mlnded as little Billy, these qualities
seemed to fit hor better than they did
her awkward and bashful boy.
Aunt Sally and little Billy were both
as industrious as the day was long, yet
tliey made but a precarious living on
their little patch of ground a bale or
two of cotton that didn't bring a good
price, and a little bit of garden truck
which, with a few chickens and eggs
they brought to town occasionally in a
rickety one-horse wagon. Aunt Sally
would take no pay for nursing the sick,
no matter how much of her time was
taken up, but she supplemented the
meagre income they got from the one
horse farm by. making nuilts and
countprpanes, and bedspreads, and by
taking weaving, being very expert at
the loom.
As may be supposed, Aunt Sally and
little Billy didn't wear fine clothes nor
put on any airs. Living In middle
Georgia, (the most democratic region,
socially, In the world), they had no need
for either the one or the other. They
made a bare living, and were tolerably
satisfied with that.
One day, shortly after the conscript
Cfflcer had established his headquarters
In Hillsborough, Aunt Sally and little
Billy drove Into town with a few dozen
eggs and three or four chickens to sell.
The conscript officer, sitting on the
veranda of the tavern.notlced that little
Hilly was a well grown lad. and kept his
eye on him, as the rickety, one-horse
Wagon came through tho public square.
There were two or three loungers
sitting on the veranda. Including Ma
jor tloolsby. One of them tapped the
major on the shoulder and pointed to
little Billy with his forefinger and the
conscript officer with his thumb. The
major nodded gravely once or twice,
ml presently hitched his chair closer
to the conscript officer.
"You ain't a-baggln' much game In
these parts, I reckon," said the major,
addressing the officer, with half-closed
eyes.
"Business Is not very good." replied
the other with a chuckle, "but we man
age to pick up a few stragglers now and
then. Yonder's a chap now" point
ing to little Billy "that looks like he
would . be an ornament to the rear
guard In an engagement." The officer
was a big, rough-looking man, and
seemed to find his present duties very
agreeable.
"Do you mean little Billy Cochran?"
Inquired the major.
"I don't know his name," said the of
ficer. "I mean thnt chap riding In the
chariot with the fat woman.
"That boy." remarked .the major,
with an emphasis that caused the con
script officer to regard him with sur
prise," Is the sole support of his mother.
He's all she's got to make her crop."
"Maybe so," the officer said, "but the
law makes no provision for cases of
that kind."
"You said "maybe so,'" suggested
the major. "Do you mean to doubt my
word?" His voice was as soft as the
notes of a flute.
"Why, certainly not!" exclaimed the
Officer, flushing a little.
The major made no further remark,
but sat bolt upright In his chair. The
rickety wagon drove to the tavern door,
nd little Billy got out, a basket of eggs
In one Hand and the chickens 'In the
other. He went Into the tavern, and
while he was gone. Aunt Sally passed
the day after tomorrow. The army
needs your services."
"Do you Want me to go to the war?"
tsked little Billy, a quaver In his voice.
"Yes." the officer replied. "Kou fall
tinder the conscript law."

the time of day with the major and the
rest of her acquaintances on the veran
du. Evidently little Billy had no difficul
ty in disposing of his eggs and chickens,
for he soon came out smiling:- The ofll
cer arose as little Billy appeared at the
door, and so did Major Ooolsby. The
loungers nudged one another in a glee
ful way. As little Billy came out. the
conscript officer drew a formidable
looking memorandum-book from his
pocket and tapped tho younpr man on
the shoulder. Little Uilly looked
around In surprise, the blood mounted
to his face and he laughed sheepishly.
"What Is your name?" the officer
asked, poising his pencil.
"William Henry Harrison Cochran,"
replied little Billy.
"How old nre you?"
. "Twenty. April pone."
"Keport at my oillce. under the Tem
perance hall, next Wednesday morning,
; "What'll mammy do?"
"Keally. 1 don't know. The confed
eracy needs you worse than your mam
my does Just now."
Little Billy hung his head and walked
to the rickety wagon.
"Mind," said the officer. "Wednes
day morning at ten o'clock. 1 don't
want to send after you."
"Why, what In the round world Is
the mutter, honey?" Aunt fcally In
quired, seeing the downcast look of her
son.
Little Billy simply shook his head.
He could not have uttered a word then
bud his life depended on It.
"(lit up. Heck!" exclaimed Aunt Sal
ly, slapping her old mule with the rope
reins.
Major Ooolsby watched the mother
and son for u few moments as they
drove back across the public square.
His lips quivered as he remembered
how. years before. Aunt Sally had
nursed his dead wife. He returned to
the conscript officer and straightened
himself up.
"Mister" his voice was soft, sweet
and insinuating "Mister, how many
of your kind are loafing around In the
south, picking up the mainstay of
widows?"
"As many as are necessary, sir," said
the major, turning to his acquaintances
and mimicking the tones of the officer.
"Hoys, that's what they call statistics
the exact figures. Well, sir. If there's
one for every town In the confederacy,
there's more than a regiment of 'em.
Don't you reckon I'm about right In my
figures?"
"I couldn't say," replied the officer,
In an indifferent way. He saw thnt
Major Goolsby was angry, hut he didn't
know what the mnjor's anerer meant.
"I couldn't sny. If all of thorn have
enlisted as many men as I have, the
army will be a great deal larger In the
course of the next three months."
"Don't you think you could do a great
deal more damage to the Yankees. If
you had the will, than that boy you've
just served notice on?" asked the ma
jor, with a little more asper..y thun he
had yet shown. "Why don't you get a
basket and catch tomtits and send 'em
on to the front? The woods are full of
'em."
"Now. if you'll tell me how nil this
concerns you," said the officer, hristllng
up, "I'll b much obliged to you."
The major took one step forward and.
with a movement quick as lightning,
slapped the officer In the face with his
open hand. "That's for little Hilly!" he
exclaimed.
T,ho officer sprang back and placed
his hand under his coat a If to draw
pistol. The major whipped out a big
morocco pocketbnok, fumbled about It
a moment, and then threw five 20
dollar gold pieces at the feet of the offi
cer. "I'll send that to your family," he
said, "if you'll pull your pistol out
where I can see It."
But the tifllcer by this time had taken
a sober second thought, and he turned
away from the major end went to his

er citizens of Hillsborough applauded
his coolness and discretion, and one of
them told him confidentially that If ne

by begged him to he would have been
a dead man before he could have pulled
the hammer back.

fort at self-contiol.
"You are sure you have forgotten
nothing?"
"Quite sure."
"Where are the children?'
"Flaying In the back yard.'
"Have you said good-bye to them?"
"Yes." ,
"Have you spoken to any of the
neighbors?'
"I have made all the necessary ar
rangements with Mrs.' Brown."
"She knows what o do In case we
don't fret back?"
"She-does."
"Have you written to your mother?"
"Yes, and I gave the letter to Mrs.
Brown to mall In case it becomes neces

icy?" "The letter tells where It can be
found." .
"And mine?"
"I rut It with mine."
"Well, the children are sure to be
provided for, then, whatever happens,"
he said with a sigh of relief.
"Yes. thank Heaven!" she answered
fervently.
"I presume we might as w'ell start,
then." he suggested, after a last long
ing look around.
"I suppose so." she sighed.
"Going away?" asked a stranger In
the neighborhood, as they started up
the street.
"Yes." replied the husband sadly. .
"Par?" Inquired the stranger.
"Only a few blocks to make a call,"
answered the husband.
"Only a few blocks!" exclaimed the
stranger. "Why, from your prepara
tions I thought you expected to en
counter some great danger."
"We have to cross a trolley car track
both going and coming." replied the
husband with quiet determination.

HIS "OI.U WOMAX."
She Was No New Woman, nut Sho Knew
How to Kim Iter Husband Around.
From the New York World.
She was small and wiry and maybe
40. She did not pose as a new woman
In fact, "he" called her the "old woman."
She dl not wear bloomers. She wore a
calico dress, sklmmy in tho skirt and
ragged at the elbows and her whlsp of
hair was done up In a' hard knot at the
back of her head. There was a certain
"set" to her sharp chin as she turned
the corner of Third avenue and saw him
leaning against the lamp post which
was ominous. He saw her coming.
"There's the "old woman," he said,
and slipped Into the side door. A min
ute luter she walked In at the family
entrance. What happened within Is
not history.
"Dinner on the table." she was saying,
as she drove him before her through the
side door Into the cold world, "since 11
o'clock!" and her voice went up an oc
tave." "You good-for-nothing loafer! You
you" she went on shrilly, embar
rassed as to epithets by the richness of
his deserving.
"He" was large and lumbering and
meekeyed. He slouched hastily through
the gathering crowd, but the "old wo
man" followed.
"Lemme 'lone!" he protested, as she
took him by the slack of his coat and
headed him In the opposite direction.
"I say I ain't a-goln!" -
"You say!" she shrieked, derisively.
"I say you bei'Olt!" -
She propelled him several feet for
ward. He stopped and looked around
hesitatingly. "I ain't a-goln' home, I
say, to be jawed at!" .
She marched him forward. When he
stopped, a volly of words goaded him
on. Large and lumbering and, meek
eyed he slouched unwillingly at the
head of the procession, with half the
neighborhood In the rear.
A policeman stood on the far; corner
grinning. " . . . .
"There's the woman for you!" he com
mented, cheerfully. "A few more like
that would be worth a dosen police for
keeping the corners clear."- . f ,
