He shook his head doubtfully, but approached the lieuteuaut, followed by Cloyne and me. "Lieutenant," said he, "excuse me, but 1 have reason to expect some offi cial communications from Albany, through the major, tor myself and my friends here. Can you tell tue whether they have come?" "Not that I know of," said the officer pleasantly. "Will the major be in soon?" "The major is—no. The truth is, 1 doubt whether we shall ever see him again. lie hasn't succeeded in raising a company, much less a battalion, and has dropped out of the business, lie never had a commission anyway." "Then nil of us to whom he promised commissions are duped?" "Not at ail—if you've raised the req uisite number of men. Have you done It?" Then Hamilton lost his self posses sion for the first time within my knowl edge. "How many men have you raised?" continued the oflicer. "Five," said Hamilton feebly. "And you?" This to Cloyne. "Four," sighed the handsome Irish man. Then the lieutenant looked at me In quiringly. "Three," I whispered, remembering that one was dead and another re claimed by his parents. "And you've consumed nearly a month at this," said the officer. "What commissions do you suppose you nro entitled to?" No one answered, so the lieutenant resumed h's work. Then we three Summerton men step ped aside at Hamilton's suggestion for consultation, but we at once began to moan and grumble Instead of consult ing. Cloyne said he had no one In particular to say goodby to; neverthe less togo off as we were about to, with out saying a word to any of the many people he had known pleasantly for years, would make him feel very much as If suddenly arrested and sent to prison. Hamilton said he heartily wished him self in Cloyne's condition, but unfortu uately there were many people to whom he owed parting calls and some with whom he had made engagements which he wouldn't break for anything. I began to say that I feared that not to see me again would be the death of my father or mother or both, but I didn't get through my speech very well. As for my brother Ned, when 1 thought of that little fellow and all 1 might have been to him, but hadn't, and now he wouldn't have a big brother again for years, 1 secretly promised heaven to endure patiently any hardship or Buffering of war if I might be spared to make amends to that small boy. Suddenly Hamilton exclaimed: "This won't do. We're wasting pre cious time. If we can't go back home we can at least telegraph our friends to come down and say goodby to us. Let me labor with the great mogul once more." "Lieutenant," said Hamilton, whom Cloyne and I followed to the desk, "I beg a thousand pardons, but I know you'll forgive me If you'd put yourself In my place for a moment. I'm an old f'Jrst militia man, and 1 know orders must be obeyed." "First regiment, eh?" said the lieu tenant, rising from his desk, while Cloyne and I pinched each other with delight at the impression which Ham ilton's announcement had evidently made. "Yes, and I've enlisted for service, not for money, for I'm quite well off already. My two friends here and I would like to see our families and ac quaintances before we start." "Telegraph them to come at once," said the lieutenant. "Goto the nearest hotel and see them there. You wouldn't like to meet them before this crowd. I'll pass you through the guards." We must have been a happy trio to look at just then as Hamilton took the lieutenant's hand and murmured: "God bless you!" "I hope he will," said the officer,"for everybody else Is cursing me today, though I'm merely doing my duty." We all moved through the door, the lieutenant leading. Just then I felt a clutch at my shoulder and, turning, saw Urainard, his face tear stained and most woebegone. Hamilton chanced to see him, too, stopped, stared and ex claimed: "Eh? What's this?" "This is a surj>rise," said I. "He's one of us after all." "Thauk heaven 1" exclaimed Hamil ton. I was so pleased at this remark that I was hours in comprehending the en tire meaning of It, which was that there was a woman in the case. Mean while Hamilton named the hotel to which we would go and where the lieu tenant could notify us when it was time to start. We at once telegraphed our families and while awaiting them made some hasty goodby visits to friends in the city. Two hours later we felt as criminals condemned to death must feel during the final visit of their friends. My father—bless his dear, thoughtful heart—brought down the entire family and the dog besides. Had It not been for that dog's efforts to explore the hotel and Ned's efforts to bring him back there would have been little relief from the gloom of which all of us were full. Ilialnard's mother seemed to suffer worst of all. She had gone through the agony of giv ing her son away only to get liirn back again forever, she supposed. Now he was a soldier once more, and at scarce ly an hour's notice she was to lose him. My own misery was doubled by her Borrow, for was not I to blame for his being in uniform? My cousin May tried to put some cheer Into the part}', and as she always laughed heartily nt the slightest provo cation it was Impossible not to be af fected by her spirits. She made cheery though modest replies to some gallant speeches which Hamilton addressed to her, and she told Mrs. Brainard to think how much more Charley's quick wits would be to the nation than the guns of a dozen common men. She scarcely spoke a word to Charley him self, however, and he looked at her only slyly, for, as he told me after ward, he had caught a glimpse of him self lu a hotel mirror and felt like a scarecrow 1 A message from the lieutenant broke up our party, Cloyne departing first, followed l)j* Hamilton and his friends. I had to drag myself away from my mother's arms and then tear Hrainard away from his mother. 1 hope 1 may never again see such a picture of deso lation as that couple made while tak ing a last look at each other. It seem ed as if a sense of my own responsi bility would kill me, but suddenly j Coflsin May relieved the feelings of all present by throwing her arms around Charley's neck and exclaiming: "You poor, troubled little fellow, your mother shan't be lonesome while you are away." llow we got out of that room—why we did not fall dead at the final part ing—l do not know. To my memory that is still the most dismal day of the entire war. We took pains not to tell our families where our rendezvous was or by what streets we would depart. We did not know ourselves. Just a quarter of an hour afterward, how ever, as we tramped down Broadway, a dog sprang upon me, and as I turned to cast him off I saw It was mine that little Ned was right behind him, iind my father was follow lug Ned. CHAPTER IV. IN CAMP AGAIN. fjp —i E went south on a train | which contained some im squads of recruits for ||j& other regiments, and I |£g cannot say that any of them impressed me lltol' more favorably than our own or they 08 1 V -C J i o() k,>,l like men from whom the Southern Confederacy had much to fear. Certainly they could not bear comparison with the average of our old militia regiment, at whom the cavalry had sneered and whom the I regular artillerymen had called "Dough boys." The great majority reminded | nie of the corner loungers in city and town. I said as much to Cloyne, who replied: "For very good reason too. That's just the class from which they were recruited." It \sas pleasing to think that we should see something different when we reached our camp, which was only about a day distant from New York. Our quartet wished we might soon reach there, too, for the trip persisted In recalling by contrast that of the Ninety-ninth, and the contrast made us gloomy. No natives wished us god speed or brought fruit and refresh ments to the train when it stopped at a station. Nobody <sang patriotic songs in the cars or passe-.] jokes from seat to seat. On the contrary, there wera much vile language and drunkenness, with some fighting, for men who had received large bounties and were not accustomed to having much money had apparently tried to invest all their cash in whisky. Some tried to desert by jumping from the car platforms as we passed slowly through the larger towns, and apparently we all were suspected by the officers in charge of the various squads of being possible "bounty jumpers." It was not until this trip that we came to realize, recruiting officers though we had been, that the payment of bounties, which had not begun until the Ninety-ninth had taken the field, had developed a new and highly pop ular industry—that of enlisting, receiv ing bounties, deserting, re-enlisting to receive more bounties, and so on in definitely until the bounty jumper was detected or sent to the front too sud denly and securely to escape. One of the officers, with whom Ham ilton and Cloyne scraped acquaint ance, said we were lucky not to be sent down In locked cars, with windows so arranged on the out side that they could not be opened enough to let a man through. He said also that a number of hard characters had enlisted only for tlie purpose of robbing their comrades and that those of us who had much money would do well to hide it securely before drop ping asleep. None of these revelations promised well for the Union cause, and I asked Hamilton why it was that the army did not get a better class of volunteers, "Because," said Hamilton between his teeth, "most members of the better classes are trying to become officers, Instead of first enlisting as privates, like several fools with whom I am acquainted." "But they can't all become officers," I argued. "There are too many of them." "None of them will become a private soldier until there Is a conscription," said Cloyne, who stood by. "It's the only way that men of the better classes ever get Into the armies of other na tions." "But we are different," said 1, with rising American pride. "Our better classes kno\f they have more to be thankful for than the people of othei nations, so they have more patriotism." "They do, eh? From the appearance of this car and such others on this train I have gone through, I must say their patriotism Is not hurrying them into the military service." Then I had to change the subject of conversation. Before reaching camp we became ac quainted with some of the recruits for our own regiment and found enough varieties of human nature to Interest us and to justify Cloyne's remark that it takes a net or an army to catch nil sorts of queer fish. Hamilton, who had a head for statistics, took the trouble to ask each recruit for the Thirty-eighth what was his business before he enlisted. There were only 53U recruits, but 15 different trades and professions were named. Indeed, there was but one business or calling which more than one man designated. It was "soldier." Hamilton, Cloyne and I were three of the five who made this statement. The others were two stal wart Englishmen, almost middlo aged. 1 engaged these successively In con versation and was almost paralyzed ut learning that they were survivors of the famous "Six Hundred" who formed the "Light Brigade" that charged at Balaklava and was immor talized by Tennyson in a poem which I and every other boy In our school had declaimed on "speech day." It was long before I could tear my self away from these fine fallows and tell Hamilton and Cloyne what an ac quisition our regiment had made. Hamilton was as much surprised and delighted as 1, out uioyiie iwitciiea hli face, looked out the ear window in an absentminded sort of way and re marked: "They'll make about 1,200 survivors of that 'Six Hundred' whom 1 have personally met, yet I haven't been u great traveler." "Perhaps." said I, "Lord Cardigan didn't carefully count his men before riding at the Russian guns, or perhaps Tennyson took poetic license as to number." Cloyne laughed as he tried a pun. "Somebody somewhere has ventured more He than sense 011 the subject." I thought this was very cynical of Cloyne. Of course there are impostors everywhere, but splendid, straight, manly looking fellows like our own regiment's share of the "Six Hundred" could not be suspected of anything un fair or pretentious. They were superb ly cool and composed, as great soldiers always are, and neither of them seem ed to take ordinary interest in any "Ah, you vants glory, chl" u ne oround him until I chanced to mention one of them to the other. To my great surprise, they were not even acquaintances. This fact or some other seemed to surprise the one I epoke to, and when I brought them to gether and introduced them they did not look and act at all as I imagiued old comrades in a historic battle would. Thinking perhaps they preferred to re view old associations in private, I left them, after which they to chat quite freely, and when ik\ I met one of them he told me they had identified each other at last, and glad they were to find they were old friends. It was n long time before I could get Cloyne to take the slightest Interest In them, but he finally eyed them, first careless ly, then curiously. Later I saw him in earnest conversation with one of them, and when I joked with him about it he put 011 a queer smile and patted me on the shoulder in a patron izing manner that exasperated me. Our reception at the camp of the Thirty-eighth was not what I had ex pected. The veterans of the regiment did not turn out to cheer the brave youths who had come to help them put down the rebellion. They did not even offer us something to eat, al though it was long after breakfast time and our haversacks had been empty since the night before. A few sauntered over to the adjutant's tent, to which we had been marched, and looked at us as if in search of familiar faces, but no one took special interest in us except the orderly sergeants of the various companies, whom the ad jutant had tue sergeant major Bummon by bugle call. The company in which we had enlisted had not yet been organized, so we were allotted tem porarily among the older companies, and the orderly sergeants swore fright fully, as they marched us off, at the trouble they would have to squeeze an extra man or two into every tent of a lot already well filled. The men In the tents did not do much to make us feel at home, although one or two put on some appearance of friendliness as they asked us if we had brought down anything in pocket llasks. We Summerton boys were not made any more comfortable by being sep arated, as we chanced to be. No three of us were assigned to the same com pany, much less to the same tent. There seemed nothing for us to do or see either, for no drill was ordered during the morning. Before dinner call was sounded I had lost all inter est In the service and the war. I could think of nothing but our farm at Sum merton and the people who occupied it. My father had promised to visit me In camp before winter if the au thorities would permit. llow I hoped he would not do it! I should have been glad to have him see the camp of the Ninety-ninth, but tho cavalry camp was very different. There seemed no end of detached tents and huts, with no particular purpose that I could dis cover. Nothing was as I had expected. After dinner wo boys had an oppor tunity to see each other again. We enjoyed the meeting, but not its pur pose, for each new recruit was given a shovel and set to digging post holes and ditches for some new stables that were to be built. I could have had plenty of digging without coming sev eral hundred miles from home, for my father had long Intended to set a new fence. An excitable young French man among the recruits seemed some what of my way of thinking, for he suddenly dropped his shovel mid shout ed: "1 will not dig ze hole! I enlist for la gloire, not for dirty work like zls." "Ah, you vants glory, eh?" said the German sergeant who seemed engineer In chief. "Den better It is you go back to your own country, vere dey alu't got no sense." The Frenchman said something be tween his teeth and thrust out his fist. The sergeant collared the Frenchman and kicked him all the way to the guardhouse. There were 110 protests after that. I'ost holes and ditches in creased rapidly, and 1 was somewhat astonished to discover that the short ditch dug hy Phil Hamilton was the most shapely of the lot. We recruits got Rome comfort after supper in criticising the movements of the cavalry at dress parade. They marched with less style than the most awkward company of the Ninety ninth. mid looked shabby by the lack of resemblance in their hats, no two of which set alike, although nil were of black felt. Signs of hospitality continuing to be Invisible, some of us Suiuinerton re cruits concluded to spend the night on the quartermaster's *ay pile. Virginia dews, however, h;m grown cooler In the month that had elapsed since the Ninety-ninth went north, and we had to arise in the middle of the night and indulge 111 violent exercise to warm our blood. We talked a great lot, too, so much that the sergeant of the guard came over to see what was the matter. When we told him why we were there and how uncomfortable we were, he said: "Serves you right. Men who've been The map on the stage who does the trick of escaping from firmly tied ropes, submits to the bonds with a smile. He knows he can get out of the ropes that are being Put the same man in the woods and let Indian captors bind him to a tree for torture and he would struggle to the last against the bonds. \\Tien the stomacn is diseased there are bonds being woven every hour about the organs dependent on the stomach— heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, etc. The folly of mankind is to passively submit to the fastening of these bonds with no effort to escape until the pain they cause arouses fear. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery Cures diseases of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition. It cures diseases of heart, liver, lungs, kid neys and other organs, when these dis eases, as is often the case, have their origin in the diseased stomach. "For a long time I was suffering and was hardly able to get about " writes Mr Andrew J. Jeaulngs of Thomas, Tucker Co., W. Vn., Box J94. "Was bothered with kidney trouble and my whole system was out of order; had no appetite. A friend of mine told me to try Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. I did so and the first bottle restored toy appetite. I took alx bottles of ' CJoldfc Mtdical Ducovery' and some of the ' Pleasant Pellets' aua feel like a ucw person." Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellet 6 cleanse the clogged system from impurities. In the service once before and got out and hadn't sense enough to stay out deserve all the bad luck they can find." I was angry and miserable enough to believe for tho moment that he was nearly half right. CHAPTER V. THINOS SLOW AND LIVELY. ITIIIN a few days our jjjl company was organ *A\ ized, and we recruits 'Ml\ were gathered into 1 'SI of ' our own. Hut I'M! we cmUihhml to he jwy thoroughly miserable ,/iKK- ■ The cavalry camp seemed such a shift less, do nothing place for all who were not recruits that I thought seri ously of writing a private letter to President Lincoln suggesting that he Khould have this large and lazy body of men go out and kill some rebels or do something else that would help end the war. It seemed to me that the men I saw lounging about me could not pos sibly be the same w ho had been all the talk of the post when the Ninety-ninth was there. We recruits did very little lounging. We were drilled pretty steadily in the use of a saber, a weapon which did not feel or act anything like we had sup posed. For days it seemed too heavy and clumsy for me ever to use to any purpose, and I doubted whether I ever should be able to injure the Confeder acy or defend myself by any of the /" * x j j . I bchdd an odd s)>cct<tclc. thrusts, points or cuts of the manual of arms. I told Cloyne so one day, and he replied: "That's the reason you're being taught, 'l'here'd be nonsense in teach ing you If you already knew how." The regiment—that is, the new com panies—had 110 horses, and we Sum merton boys would feel very dismal when we saw the older companies mount and go off 011 a scouting trip, as they did at least once a week, whilo we, instead, were marched out to drill or set to work on the stables, which were so many and large that it seemed they never would be finished. There were VI of them, and each was more then 300 feet long and required 1(K) thick 10 foot posts, which had to be cut In the forest, besides hundreds of smaller ones for the roof and to divide the stalls. Many of the men made up their minds while this work was going on that a soldier's life was a dog's life, and they proved their sincerity by act ing like dogs—growling, snarling, skulking and fighting. During this wretched experience of cavalry life my spirits were strength ened frequently by observing the im perturbable mannerof Hamilton, listen ing to Cloyne's sensible comments on whatever occurred and admiring the loyal spirit of little Brainard, to whom whatever the government did through any of Its officials seemed entirely right. Whenever my mind was troubled because I didn't understand the full meaning of everything that was done or left undone Brainard would remind me that if I knew everything about the war 1 probably wouldn't be a private soldier, but general of the army or perhaps president of the United States. "Leave something, a little something, to the colonel or the war department or at least the president," Brainard would say. "If you could do and manage everything, as you seem to wish, the higher officials wouldn't have anything to do but draw their pay, don't you see?" There was some truth in this, and such a remark would generally pacify me for a few hours. I think, however, that I got most comfort out of my spurs and the joy I anticipated for the time when I should have a horse and tickle his flanks. My father had never allowed one of his horses to be touched with a spur—my experience with old Itover was unknown to him—so there was a pleasure In store for inc. And what spurs they were! I had brought them from New York. They were "Mexicans," the wheels nearly three Inches In diameter, with points as long as a shingle nail, and they gave out a bell-like Jingle as I walked, which was such sweet music to my ear that I never was without them. I even wore them to bed, for, ns no one removed any of his clothing when lying down for the night on the tloor of his tent, , where was the use In taking off one's spurs? One night this question was an swered fo some extent. Our tent was round, and the 15 men who lived in it' slept wiih heads toward the outside j and feet to the center. By early No-i vember the nights were so cold that a man needed a blanket as well as his | uniform t>> keep him warm. Several recruits who admired my spurs had purchased others as much like them as possible of the regimental sutler or storekeeper, and they wore them con tinually. One evening after our tentful had enjoyed a private supper of fricas seed goose, purchased from a colored woman, we all lay down peaceably to i sleep. Whether the geese—there were j two of them -were underdone or too j rich for men whose ordinary supper j was dry bread and sauce of dried ap- j pies I don't know, but some of us were I affected in our dreams very much like | small children after Christmas dinner and unlimited candy. llow the trouble | began I do not know, but 1 awoke from a dream of being heavily shackled ! in a rebel dungeon to lind a terrible i uproar and struggle going on In the tent, which was as black as Egypt dur-: ing the plague of darkness. To make j matters worse, the most serious part of my dream seemed still in operation,; for I could not liberate my feet when j I tried to crawl away from the center.' "What blanked cuss has been tying our feet together?" roared one man. "Let goof my blanket," shouted an other, "or I'll break your head!" "You're a nice one to talk," said a Wiird, "when it's you that's making all the trouble!" Meanwhile I, who had just awoke and didn't know anything about the difficulty, was being dragged one way and another by my feet, so I raised my own voice and complained of unfair ! treatment. The din awoke the first sergeant, one of the only two noncommissioned offi- j cers yet appointed for our company, and he opened the tent flap and roared: "Keep quiet here or I'll send you all ; to the guardhouse!" "I'd be greatly obliged, sergeant," I said Brainard plaintively, "if you'd ' send me there right away, if only to j get out of this frightful snarl." "Strike a light," said the sergeant. Hamilton, who always carried match- j es, scratched one and lighted the can- | die, which was in a socket on the tent I pole; then, as I struggled to a sitting j posture, I beheld an odd spectacle. Nearly all the men in the tent seemed bound together by the feet by blankets or held down by blankets stretched tightly across their legs. After each man had investigated for himself a lit- 112 tie while it appeared that the men with Mexican spurs, like all the others, had been tossing uneasily in their sleep, all on account of the goose supper, and : had worked the point of their spurs ! through the blankets over their feet. As the blankets greatly overlapped one , ! another at the center, a spur as often as not had contracted an entangling al-* liaticc with some other fellow's blan ket, and the harder the wearer tried In his sleep to free himself, tossing and straining, the worse became the mis ery. "rnloose yourselves!" said the ser geant. "I'nloose thunder!" shouted a big ex drayman from New York. "You can't unloose a tie till you find the end, and | the ends of these blankets Is all Inside somewhere." "He jabers," grunted an Irishman, "I belave some spalpeen has stole the inds and tuk 'em away." We picked and pulled and tugged and lost our tempers, and the few tueu who i weren't in the tannic drew out of the i Sick Headache ? Food doesn't digest well? Appetite poor? Bowels constipated?

' crowd anJ laughed and jeered. Final ly one desperate man drew his pocket knife and began to cut himself loose. The others followed his example, and after live minutes of hard work we were free, with an immense heap of woolen rags In the center of the tent and a hard tuft on each spur to tell how the wretchedness began. "No spurs in bed hereafter," said the captain, who had come over to see the fun and was nearly choking In an ef fort to keep down his laughter and his dignity. It took an hour of time next day to get the fragments of blanket from my spur wheels, and I wasn't helped by the fellows who sat around | and said 1 was to blame for the whole row, for no one would have bought those infernal spurs if I hadn't set tho ; example.

He is well known in this vicinity and he can offer the names of many prominent citizens of Danville and community, whom he has successfully treated. Those who suffer with headache, weak eyes or defective eyesight, will be well repaid to call on me. Hundreds of peo ple are going blind daily from the want of the properly prescribed glasses, and from delaying attention to the eyes, from time to time. Nothing will de stroy your eyesight quicker than cheap glasses or glasses not properly fitted to your eyes. I can examine your eyes at home, by appointment, without extra charge. If you need me at your home, drop a line to Hunt's Drug Store. Reading or sewing glasses SI.OO and up.
