THE CHARGE OF THE THIRTY-EIGHTH. TTIO N'T I ON. com pa /4|BjPß\\ , ny!" shouted our J^PiT/yn' «ili\ ca,lta ' n ' " Draw pa " "Flashed nil their J*/ sabers bare," as Ten- \V : \W/ nyson says in"The \l\wLl] Charge of the Light Hat- 1 Brigade," but I hope for the reputation of their driilmas ters that Cardigan's troopers flashed their swords more in unison. Had they not, some of them would not have been in condition to annoy the Russian gunners much. Ours was a sort of cu mulative flash; it was literally a long j drawn out effort. The boys had learn- ; ed to draw their sabers quickly on foot 1 drill or parade, where the scabbard was partly raised by the left hand as the right hand sought the grip, but the Baber of the mounted trooper hangs as low as the straps will allow, and as ! we never had been drilled while 1 mounted many of the men nearly fell ; from their saddles while leaning to the left in a frantic reach for their sword hilts. "Captain Bright," roared our battal ion's major, an officer in whom I had not previously taken any interest, not seeing where his usefulness came in, "why are some of your men's sabers undrawn?" "You rascals," screamed the captain, facing bis horse toward the flank of the company, "why don't you draw your sabers?" "I can't get down to mine," said Brainard, answering for himself. Ilis arm, like the remainder of him, was quite short. "I don't believe I can reach it unless I turn a somersault." "Take your bridle in your right hand; draw your saber with your left; now change hands; the rest of you do the same. There!" the captain yelled. "Make haste, captain," said the ma jor. "You're opening distance badly between you and the company ahead of you by being so slow." "Trot! March!" the captain ordered In a nervous shriek. Off went the company, but not all of it went off in the same direction, for at least one man in every three had never felt a horse trot under him, so two or three fell off their chargers before we had gone a hundred yards. Others re- j tained their seats fairly by grasping ! the horn of the saddle with the bridlp hand and trying to seize the pommel with the other. But a sword Is as much as a novice can hold in one hand. Several had to choose between giving up their rear hold and losing their sabers. Some did the latter, preferring present safety to future possibilities. Among these unfortunates was faraln ard. The major dropped back to the rear company, for which I was profoundly grateful. It wasn't pleasant to think of any one, even a member of our own regiment, observing all that was oc curring in our company during those few moments. Men who were not ac customed to riding were bouncing briskly in their saddles and looking a 9 wretched as the poor fellow who came In wounded the day before. Mick Mc- Twyny lost his temper, blamed his horse for everything and, turning to the roadside and halting, began to pound the poor animal with both fists and kick him in the flanks with his spurred heels, a proceeding which the brute resented by leaping suddenly forward and tumbling his rider into the road. The lieutenant, who had chauced to look backward, turned and : threatened to saber Mick then and i there unless he at once remounted and acted like a soldier instead of a don key, and Mick returned the threat, up on which the lieutenant, using his saber as a paddle, gave Mick a tre mendous spank, and Mick swore an awful oath, which he chewed to ex treme laceration as he uttered it, that he would get even with the lieutenant, and the lieutenant promised to give him a season of arrest in which to think up his vengeful plan. Meanwhile another man bit the dust, for my horse stepped on the heels of his file leader, who had slackened his pace suddenly. The Injured horse reared his hind quarters to kick, and over his head shot his rider, breaking his fall by rolling between two horses In front of him. A similar fate befell several other men, who, trying to brace themselves by holding their bri dle reins tightly, curbed their horses BO severely that the animals halted suddenly and unhorsed their riders. It seemeu to me they must be trampled to death, but it was impossible to halt and ask questions or offer any assist ance. During these scenes of humiliation my heart wis strengthened somewhat by the demeanor of our couple of sur vivors of the historic charge at Bala klava. Each rode as steadily ns if he and his horse were one. Neither man looked to the right or left, but straight ahead, and each carried his saber as if on parade. I afterward told Cloyne about this, and he said: "Why not? They did nothing but drill from the time they first enlisted In England, and a charge isn't half as hard togo through as a regimental drill of mounted troops." Soon the major was on our flank again, shouting: "Captain Bright, what has become of your company? There's only about half of it in the ranks." The captain, who had ridden for ward to close the gap between him and the company in front, fell back and looked along the column, which had lost nil regularity of formation. Then he screamed: "Lieutenant, why have you let so many men fall out, sir?" The lieutenant commanding the rear platoon had been getting ahead of his proper position. He turned his horse, looked toward me and roared: "Where's the sergeant of the left of the line?" "You ordered him to remount several minutes ago, sir," I replied. "And he hasn't returned to his post? Then 'twas your duty as a noncommis sioned officer to keep the men from straggling to the rear." This sudden and new load of respon sibility seemed more than I and my horse could carry, but I afterward lenrned to bear similar Inflictions bet ter, for I found they were in accord ance witli military custom. When any thing goes wrong during a march, the highest officer with whom fault is found immediately unloads the blame upon the officer next below him in rank, and so the scolding passes down Ward until it reaches some lowly non commissioned officer, who gets rid of it by giving it to a private soldier. But I had no time to absorb this wis dom during my first charge, for the major suddenly ordered our captain to hurry along with such men as he had, leaving the stragglers to the tender mercies of the rear guard, it seemed strange that we had not yet closed the small distance between us and the : troop ahead of us, but as we hurried on we had the melancholy consolation of learning that ours was not the only new compauy whose men had come to grief through ignorance of their duties i and by falling out had made many suc ! cessive gaps in the column. Not all the 1 unfortunates were bad riders, but some | of them had pricked their horses with their sabers during spasmodic endeav ors to keep these weapons well In hand, and no self respecting horse could be expected to be even tempered when j prodded with a yard of steel with a | sharp point at one end and 150 pounds uf greenhorn at the other. Such as were left of us went faster and faster, the horses, becoming ex cited, unconsciously taking the gallop. This being a gait at which a child could keep the saddle, there was uo more straggling. Assisted by some vigorous language from the captain, we formed new sets of fours and went along in really handsome style. 1 When our rush had lasted about a quarter of an hour, I began to wonder when we would strike the enemy. If we had already suffered so severely, what would be left of us after we had inet the foe and been thrown Into the confusion which always befalls a cav llry party at the Instant of absolute clash? Well, If it must come. It were better that it should come while we uud our horses were nerved up to light ing pitch. There come a time in our mad rush when the road led through a bit of low, damp ground on which there was no dust, so we could look along the col umn. Dusty though we were, the spec tacle was really inspiriting, with its hundreds of flashing sword blades and Its successive guidons—small flags, one nt the head of each troop. We ascend ed a gentle slope near the top of which and perhaps u quarter of a mile in ad j vance rode a man with a broad felt j hat and a very small horse. I asked the lieutenant who he was and was told: "He's the reb we're chasing, I s'pose." What! All that effort to catch one man—a man who was apparently get ting away? All the scare, the terror, the wild thoughts, the helplessness, the disorder, the suffering, merely to overtake one man! 1 felt angry enough to desert.l lost my temper and ex pressed my thoughts so loudly that the lieutenant overheard me and, looking angrily at me, said: "Be quiet, you little fool. There's no better way of finding their main body than by chasing a man who is trying to get back to it. Is there?" "No, sir," 1 replied meekly as a flood of light descended upon my wits, and 1 longed to shrivel within my uniform so that I could not be seen. 1 did not long have to chew the bitter cud of reflection, however, for soon we heard some shots in the advance. Our pace was slackened; we became tightly packed in the road, breaking our for mation and causing much trampling on horses' hoofs, with the consequent kicking and swearing. Then down the column was passed in rapid succession ' the orders: I "Halt! Dismount!" Were we to fight on foot? Well, whatever might befall the enemy, I was sure it would i>e far safer for us. Then came the orders: "Loosen your saddle girths. Tie your horses to the fence. Stand by and pre vent them from rolling, or your sad dles will be broken." What an inglorious conclusion! I did not dare ask the lieutenant what it We went faster and faster. meant, but he evidently saw I was curious, for he approached me aud said: "I guess the advance has gobbled them. There's never more than a com pany of these fellows ou the road at a time arouhd here." That was better than I had expect ed, and I was wild togo forward and seo the prisoners. Soon Uiere was something else to look at. however, and I don't believe the prisoners could have presented as sorry a spectacle—it was the mass of stragglers being urged for ward by the rear guard. There seem ed no end to the dismal line of men without horses, horses without men. Some of the stragglers were asking where their companies were, and onco in awhile a member of our company would recognize his place by the letter which each of us wore ou his cap. What astonished me most, however, was Mick MeTwyny plodding along on foot and carrying little Brainard on his b?ck. I was so astonished that it was somo time before I could ask Charley what had happened, aud he told me that something was biting his side aw fully. When the surgeon, of whom we had three, reached our company, Brainard learned that In falling from his horse he had broken two ribs. Soon the colonel came riding down the column, looking keenly to the right and left. 1 asked him about the engage ment, but he stared coldly at me and did not answer. When, however, the captain saluted, the colonel told him that the enemy's entire party had been captured, being unsaddled and tbere tfire unable to get away. He also vol unteered the information that our dash had been worth more to the regiment than a month of battalion drill in camp and that if halt of the new men had kept up with the procession they had done better than In- expected.

Greenhorn against greenhorn was the rule in those days, aud uot only In the cavalry service either. CHAPTER IX. BACK TO CAMP. m 9T\ ETER a long rest, fol lowed by water for v our horses, the regi nicnt started again, ;Kf though as to where St we were going wo knew no more than when we left camp. (MS 'u CU j sa j,j oioyne that It would save a great deal of unneces sary worry if the colonel would post a notice before leaving camp for a scout or a fight to let us know where we were going, how long we were to be gone and what we were to do, but Cloyne replied that the colonel would first have to know all these things him self, which seemed a great deal to ex pect. At any rate no such information had been given out about our present trip, nor did we ever get any about any trip ou which we started afterward, so In time it came to be fun to ask when on the road, "Where are we going?" so as to get a pleasing assortment of Improb able answers. At first It seemed too dreadful to take part In some move ment about which I knew nothing—not even whether or not it was judicious. But when I saw the older members of the regiment calmly obeying all orders, asking no questions, I endeavored to be a veteran to that extent myself and let the government manage its own business in its own way. As I had not made this resolve at the time of our first scout and charge I was curious and anxious about many ! tilings besides our probable route. 1 | What would we do with our prisoners j should a regiment of the enemy sud denly strike us? Suppose we were to get Into a fight and have a lot of horses shot; how would the riders reach camp? How were our disabled men to reach camp again, as it appear ed we had no ambulances with us? Was any one sure that the colonel had calculated time and distance carefully, so that we should reach camp in time to save men and animals from starv lug? And, speaking of starving, where j was I to get anything to eat during the coming day or more? This question slowly but surely forc ed all others from my mind, for I had eaten all of my boecake that I bad not j given away, I had roasted my sweet | I potatoes at dinner time and felt, as I ate them, so full that I wouldn't want another morsel till morning, but an ! hour of trot and gallop had caused a I radical change of opinion. I had no more silver with which to buy should I be able to find any native who would . sell, and my morning's search for corn | soft enough to eat had not been en- | /couraglng enough to Justify me in try- ! ing ngaln. As I wondered darkness approached, and we halted to bivouac for the night. Brainard, whom I found in one of tho straw filled country wagons which 1 had been seized to carry the Injured, j was as hungry as I and very dismal i about It too. llow both of us wished we had kept the fat pork which had been dealt as a part of our three days' ration! We still agreed that a very little of It would go a long way, but that was just the sort of ration we most needed at that particular mo ment, for the void In us seemed to reach nearly down to our boot toes, j While we pitied ourselves and endeav ored to deaden the pangs of hunger by the time honored truant schoolboy trick of tightening our belts, a detail waa suddeuly made from our own company to guard the prisoners, and I was one of the noncommissioned officers named. We were marched to the front to take j the Johnnies from their captors and 1 bring them nearer the rear. There be- i ing no building near by, we camped them In a cluster near the roadside, clearing horses away to make room for them. Their own horses were prudent ly tied a troop or two distant, so that none of them, should he attempt to escape, could get his mount. They were not bad looking fellows, though they did not appear very 6oldierly In their uniforms, no two of which were of exactly the same tint of gray and scarcely any two of the same style of button. None looked as If he might be a "fire eater," and the majority were men of middle age. Nearly all of our own troopers were young. None Beein ed very sad or angry. In fact, they didn't at all meet my ideas as to south erners and prisoners of war. They were ordered to sit or lie down, but were not bound or restrained In any other way, except that there were guards, revolvers in hand, in front and rear of them, and we were quietly or dered to keep a little blaze all night In the fires which were nearest, so that } no one could attempt to get away with- \ out being seen. As the sergeant—who chanced to be Ilamllton—and I had nothing to do but post and relieve the guards, we lay on tho ground and engaged some of the captives In conversation. Wo fouud they were all Georgians, most of them from small villages or plantations, and they did not know much about the war except that they were sorry it broke out, but they had felt it their duty to etnnd by their state. "Seems to me," said one of them aft er we had chatted a little while, "that you uns was all to blame for the war, for we uns didn't want none. No mat ter which side whips, I'm a ruined man, for there's nobody to make tho crops while I'm away up here. I don't own 110 niggers, an' my wife an' young uns cnyn't do no more'll work the truck patch [kitchen garden] an' look after the pigs an' the milk critters." I heard this story so many times dur ing the war that I Uad to do a great deal of being Borry for the enemy. Our prisoners had been told to bring their provisions with them, and as they had eaten nothing since dinner time they asked permission, which was readily granted, to do their cooking at the fires. Their rations were so differ ent from ours that it was interesting ro look on. lustcnd of boll}d*fat poill they had raw hacop, altces of which they fried or tnasftfj ion i}harp- [ ened sticks.

Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets cleanse the clogged system from accumulated impurities. others biscuit or hoeeake, while two or three mixed meal and water and made hoecakes In the frying pans which several of them carried; others had sweet potatoes, which they baked in the ashes. Oh, how hungry the smell of their cooking made me! I understood for the first time why It was that some of the poorly fed children In our town used to stand around the bakery while the bread, cakes and pies were being taken from the great oven in the cellar. Some of the Johnnies asked us if we wouldn't eat with them, but Hamilton and I, half starved though we were, declined until I noticed that none of j them was making coffee. Then a I brilliant idea struck me. 1 asked one \ of them whether southerners never drank coffee at supper time. "Not unless they can git it," said he, "which is mighty seldom." I went to the servant of our officer's mess ami borrowed some ground coffet and sugar, promising to repay him when we reached camp. Returning, 1 distributed it among tlie prisoners near est me. 1 wish 1 might ever again earn so much gratitude with so little j trouble as that act cost me. Those J Johnnies became positively jolly, and j they made haste to put cups of water to boil. Said one of them, a rough looki/ r man with a huge yellow beard: "EvVy tiling I've got's yourn, my ; young friend. I'm 'most glad we got j captured. Take all my stuff." "Since you're so kind," said I in an | absolute delirium of anticipation, "I'll I accept a single slice of bacon. It has a J more tempting odor than our fat pork." | ' "For good eatin'," said he as he cut j i several slices of bacon for me and put them in a pan on the fire, "there ain't I no hogs like southern hogs. We never buy no'thern po'k, 'cept to feed to nig- | gers." I was quite willing to believe him. The odor that arose from that frying pan was delicious perfume to my nos- j tiils. After the bacon had sizzled awhile the old fellow took some hoe- , ; cake front his haversack, split it with j his knife and laid It in the pan Inner | side down, saying: "You need to eat co'n bread with ba ccn to git the full taste of It." "Bless your southern soul!" said I to myself, and I was sure by the manner In which Hamilton eyed the pan that his sentiments agreed with mine. Ch, what a supper that was! I've never tasted one so good since the wnr ended, j I It seemed to me that If President Lln- I coin and Jeff Davis could have sat I there with us and shared the contents | of that frying pan they would quickly [ have agreed to end the war on a basis of a general exchange of northern cof fee for southern bacon and hoeeake. The camp was soon quiet. Soldiers In the field fall asleep quickly after the evening meal and pipe, and our prisoners were all dozing by 8 o'clock. As I was not a smoker and was on duty T remained wide awake and, pac- i Ing to and fro In the road, spent much j time in thinking how dreadful it would bo to have to fight so good natured, j harmless a set of men as the gray clad fellows slumbering near me. Then I put In some time being sorry for the families whose heads were so far from j home. What would become of the Frost farm, I wondered, and how mis erable would be the family if my fa ther instead of his sou was In the army? Pretty soon the tenor of my thoughts was changed by a drop of water which 6truek me !n the face. It was quickly j followed by another and then by sev eral. I was uot long In getting far enough out of my brown study to dis cover that It was raining. I soon had my India rubber blanket over my shoul- j ders and was wondering why the pris- | oners had uot brought their own with j them from their saddles—most of the sleeping figures were wrapped In blan kets or quilts. It seemed too bad, even (112 they were rebels, that the poor fel lows should be soaked by a cold No vember rain. Perhaps I could send two or three of the guard, who were not on post, to get them. I consulted i We engaged some of Vie captives tn con versation. Hamilton, who shook one of the sleep ers aud politely repeated the sugges tion. The man was slow in waning [ aud slower stiil in comprehending, but at last he said: "What? Them gum cloths'/ (Josh! j We ain't got none. Some of the army | that druv you uns from round Rich-i mond when McCleilan was thar has got some tliiit you uns left, but we uns wasn't thar." "Oh, I see. I beg your pardon. May 1 ask what you do when you're caught in the rain while on duty?" "Do?" said the man, with a mighty yawn. "Why, git wet, I reckon." Then the prisoner lay down and fell wdeep again, though by that time the | rain was falling furiously. As for Hamilton and me, we agreed that a so , called nation that didn't provide its ; soldiers with rubber blankets would soon be on its last legs and that the said legs would be rheumatic. The camp was soon in commotion, j most of it verbal and shockingly pro- j fane. The men in the newer compa- j nies had not yet learned how to keep j dry in a shower. The rubber blanket is so narrow that for it>jto be under a man and over him, too, the owner must lie as straight as a ramrod. There j were individual outbreaks throughout j the entire night as men woke to find their knees soaked. To make matters j worse for the guard, the rain put out the fires, so there was no light. Hamil _ ' t vt He handed me a dirty wad of ncivspa per. ton and I took turns in pacing to and fro in front of the prisoners, counting the barely visible figures each time we passed them. The guards were as un happy as a lot of picnickers caught in a thunderstorm, and sleepy besides, j : The hotses huddled together as best ' they could, the road became ankle deep in mud, and the entire situation was as gloomy, uncomfortable and detest-[ 1 able as our worst enemies could have ' wished. The only living beiugs who did not seem in the least disturbed were the prisoners. As for myself, I think I lost my senses several times during that dread- j ful night. Only 4S hours before, the Job of loading the revolvers had rob- ■ ! bed me of an entire night of rest. Now ' i I was doomed to another. I had to | tramp the muddy road to keep myself t awake, but my head dropped asleep '■ i once In awhile on its own account, and with wide open eyes I beheld many ; > strange visions in the darkness and im- ; 1 aglned many things ridiculous and im- j | possible. It seemed that the night nev- , ' er would end, and my gratitude was unspeakable when at early dawn we | | were ordered to feed, mount and re sume our march. 1 tried to feel happy when the prisoners were placed In j charge of a new guard and my sense | Constipation Docs your head ache ?

No sooner would 1 drop into a doze than I would rouse with a start from an awful sen sation of falling from my horse. Every body was cross, particularly the smok ers, for all the fires were out, and few men carried matches. Then it was that our captain leaped suddenly and securely into the affec tions of his men. Passing the word for smokers to fill their pipes, he tore a long, narrow strip from his handker chief, moistened it the least bit, lit ono end with a match, lighted his own pipe and then gave the smoldering rag to the first sergeant, from whom It passed down the entire troop. After the pipes were fairly started there was no more grumbling, except from nonsmokers. How I wished myself a smoker! Often when In earlier days I had asked schoolmates why they took to smoking I was told, among other excuses, that a few whiffs of smoke would stop the craving of hunger when a fellow chanced to be playing truant for a day or off hunting or fishing aud having too good luck to get home at mealtime. Well, had I learned smoking, the third day of our scout would have been a good time to test its remedial virtues, for my hunger was so Intense that It drove everything else from my mind, and the memory of the bacon and hoe cake of the night before almost made me scream with rage. It seemed to me the government was mean, des picable and standing in Its own light to give me as three days' ration some food which I had eaten during the first 24 hours. If only I had brought that lump of fat pork which had seemed so loathsome when it was dealt me! I actually longed for that bit of adipose tissue, longed until I saw it on the ground just where I had tossed It, saw it as distinctly as if It were really be '■ """* eyes. [TO BE CONTINUED].

THE EXPERT EYE SPECIALIST OF WILLIAMSPORT, will be at Hunt's Drug Store, he needs no further introduction as to his ability and workmanship in his profession. 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 fl.oo and up. PEGQ The Coal Dealer SELLS WOOD Prepared for Stoves —AT— -344 Ferry Street
