could hear musketry rattling furiously
over beyond tbe hills on the left side of
the Taneytown road, when a staff offi

"What have you In those wagons?"
he demanded.
"Ammunition, sir; E. B. cartridges,
calibre .58," answered Jim, promptly.
"Good! Get those wagons up to the
front as quickly as possible! Kill your
teams If necessary, but get there! The
left of our line Is being flanked and
the men are nearly out of ammunition.
Hurry, for God's sake, hurry!"
"Show me where to go, captain, and
I'll shore tbose wagons there as quick

Jim.
"Come on!" The officer dashed ahead.
"I'll show you."

Tbe feat seemed impossible. The hill

very great. Once at the bottom, how
ever, the teamster would be all right.
"I cau tie a couple of dead mules to

Jim. confidently.

Sam leaped Into the saddle, cracked
his whip, and shouted, "Git yo' all!"
and tbe wagon started.
It was but a short distance to the
summit; then came a steep, rough de
scent to the rolling fleld where the
Union line was fighting. As they
reached the crest, Jim looked back and
saw the shining glow of musket barrels
coining up the Taneytown road.
"That's the Sixth Corps!" cried the
officer. "But oh, how slow they are!"
The troops were coming on the run!
Now Jim's revolver cracked twice,
and two mules fell, shot through the
head. Away the wagon went, plung

officers were bringing them cartridges
from tbe boxes of tbe dead and wound
ed: for many a form in blue lay still.
neiii I ne extreme lert, uui toe men were
falling so fast that It seemed Incredible
the wagon could be brought to them.
Only two mules were left, and one of
these, bleeding from a bullet-wound in
.he neck, already began to show signs
of weakness, and could with difficulty
be kept on the run.
But a slight hollow seemed to afford
some protection, and Jim led Sam that
way. Tbey were almost there when a

cut the beast out; then Sam, grasping
tbe yoke on the wagon-pole, exerting
all bis strength, and yelling at the re
maining mule, pushed alongside Jim
from behind, and with one desperate
dual effort they rolled the wagon Into
the little hollow At that instant a
bursting shell crashed over their head,
scattering its fragment In every di
rection, and the faithful negro and the
last mule went down together.
Tbe soldiers came running for tbe
few remaining cartridges, and Jim
Wright, picking up a musket which one
of the wounded men had dropped, ran
with them to the line.
"Stay with them, boys! stay with
them!" he yelled. "The old Sixth Corps
is almost here! Hurrah! hurrah! hur
ra h! there tbey come! There's the
white cross, boys!"
Down tbe side of Little Round Top,
in mngniticent order, two full brigades
came pouring on tbe run. Then the
feeble cheer that went up from the
bard-pressed line was drowned in the
crasiiipg volley that came from the
troops of tbe Sixth Corps, whose ad
vance struck the enemy's right flank,
threw the men Into disorder, and quick
ly drove them back to the shelter of tbe
thick woods beyond the fleld.
The rays of tbe setting sun were
touching the crest of Round Top wlu-n
the lirinic c -ascd. and Jim Wright
made his way back to the wagon In the
hollow. There the Mack man still lay
face downward, beside the dead mule,
and a froth was on his lips.
Jim snatched from the wagon-box a
canteen in which remained a pint or
more of precious water, knelt beside bis
driver, raised his bead, and poured a
little water between his Hps. The
drops revived tbe wounded man; he
opened bis eyes, and a smile came over
his face.
"De ca'tridges done got yere In

BIRTHPLACE OF "PICKWICK."
Oa of Dfckeaa' Earlier Heaaee to Be
Deasoliahed.
WHfe the Impending removal of Fur
nlval's Inn, to snake way for modern
residential flat, one of the too few re
main f Dickens' London will disap
pear. It was soon after be entered the
gallery, at the age of 19, and about the
year 1M1, that Charles Dickens first
occupied chambers In the Inn. He did
not, It would seen, ge there direct from
the parental heme, for bia eldest son
has told a that his father's bachelor
life began In lodgings at Buckingham
street. Strand. But Furnlval's Inn was
Dickens' heme during the Morning
Chronicle days, and his earliest letter
dealing with literary matters Is writ
ten from No. 16.
From Furnlval's Inn are dated tbe
original prefaces to the "Sketches by
Bos," and here he has told us that one
day, when he was a young man of two
er three and twenty, he opened the
door te Mr. Hall, a partner In the then
newly established publishing firm of
Chapman ft Hall, who came to propose
"a something that should be published
In shilling numbers." and "Pickwick"
was the result. Here Dickens brought
home his wife in April, 1836 when tbe
first number had just appeared of tbe
hook which made him famous and
here his eldest son was born. Dickens
left Furnlval's Inn In March. 1837. and
more than thirty years passed ere he
again mounted Its stairs, when In the
summer of 1869 he showed Mr. Fields,
at the request of the latter, where tbe
first page of "Pickwick" was written.
That Dickens cherished pleasant rec
ollections of his early home those pages
of "Martin Chnzzlewlt" which picture
the delights of honest John Westlock's
bachelor chambers surely testify. But
"there Is little enough to see In Furnl
val's Inn." be tells us. "It is a shady,
quiet place, echoing to the footsteps
of the stragglers who hsve business
there, snd rather monotonous and
gloomy on summer evenings." London

RECENT INVENTIONS.
Celluloid Is used In the manufacture
of a new eye-shield, a thin sheet being
cnt to fit over both eyes and bound at
the edge with a strip of thick felt
which rests sgainst the face and shnti

A German has designed a candle hold
er which will not drop grease, tbe can
dlestick carrying a tube with a spring
at tbe bottom and a cap at tbe top, wltb
a conical aperture through which tbr
top of tbe candle Is forced as It burns.
A Delaware Inventor has designed a
sell attachment for cyclometers, which
la fastened to tbe under side of the cas
ing, wltb a spring clapper running up to
connect with a pin on one of the wheels
of the cyclometer to ring the bell at
every mile.
' Cyclers are protected from rain and
sun by a new umbrella attachment
wblch la clamped on tbe top bar of the
j frame and can be tipped down by loos-
rulng a thumbscrew so that the tip resbj

The fofnta of a Cab
A good cat the kind you want to
have In the house. If any will have: A
round, stubby pug nose; full fat cheek
and upper lip; a well-developed bump
on top of tbe bead between the ears,
betokening good nature. A sleepy cat
that purrs a good deal Is spt to be
plsyful and good-natured. By all
means to be avoided is a cat with thin,
sharp nose and twitching ears. It must
be remembered also that a good mouser
Is not necessarily a gentle or desirable
pet. Although any good cat will catch
mice if she Is not over-fed, quick, full,
expressive eyes generally betoken a
mousing est The greatest mistake
and probably the most common one
In the care of domestic cats Is over
feeding, particularly too much meat. In
tbe wild life a cat has exercise which
enables ber to digest food. In the lazy
house life tbe same full feeding lead
to atomach troubles and to "fits."

TBE EXCELLENCE OF STSUP OF FIGS

simplicity of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it is

all the importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. Aa the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the California Fie Stbup Co.

assist one in avoiding the worthless
imitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the Cali

which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes

"O queen, live forever!"
However, this proved an excellent In
troductlon. and presently the Queen
sua tbey became great friends. She
took one of them on her knee, and all
three chatted together In the friendliest
way.
"And whereabouts In London do you
young people live?' asked the Queen. 1
"Oh," said the little girl on her knee :
"we live Just opposite W.'s," naming
one of the new mammoth store that
have become such marked feature of
the London of to-day.
"But please won't you tell us where '
you live when you go to LondonT' said '

The Queen looked thoughtful for a
