THE CITIZEN, FRIDAY, APRIL 4, 1913. PAGE SEVEN Two Knaves Of Hearts X And the Result of Their Meeting f By ARNOLD HORTON !' l 'J!1 'I ! V tJ? J' J' J "t" The soldier boy of 1801-03 was a very different personage from the white haired, wrinkled, tottering old man of the present day. Bob Mcrlden entered tho Union army at eighteen and came out at twenty-two. When ho was mus tered Into tho service he was a rosy checked boy with a perpetual smile on his face. To look at him no one would have thought that he was going south to stand up to be shot at. Yet the only time when ho looked serious was at being ordered north on recruiting service. He was afraid he would miss a light. But this was In the beginning of It Tho enthusiastic young men of that period got quite enough of fighting be fore they were through with campaign ing, and those who struggled with dis ease and wounds had n harder time still. But this story Is of the earlier, reckless, devil may care period when the youngsters who went Into the war felt that they were off on a picnic. Bob Merlden was as full of tho ro mance of war as any soldier In tho northern army. lie had read stories of spies and their doings and was espe cially ambitious to do secret service work. So ho told his captain that If there was any call from headquarters for volunteers to go south for Informa tion to let him know. One day Bob was notified that such service was re quired, and If ho cared to undertake It ho was to report In person at head quarters, no lost no tlmo in doing so, and the general after looking him over said to him: "Can you talk like a southerner?" '"Reckon," was Bob's reply. "Let mo hear you say New York." "NIeu Yauk." "I expect you'll got on in that re spect Have you ever done any secret service work?" "No, general." The general was silent for a few moments. Ho realized the dangers the boy was about to meet and hesi tated to send him. He told Bob that he ran a considerable risk of being hanged and advised him not to under take the job. But the young soldier begged to bo permitted to go, and tho general finally consented. Bob was to proceed south to the Confederate lines, note the positions and numbers of the , troops and secure such other Informa tion as would bo valuable to his com mander. That evening after dark tho spy, dressed in a suit of "butternut" and a faded straw hat, presented a pass at tho picket iine for Abner Shock. He was permitted to go forth and after walking a tew miles, in order that he might not be found near tho Federal lines, went into bivouac In a wood. In tho morning ho was awakened by tho sun shining through the trees I . . I 1 1 -I . . 1 . . uuu, miuut; un, luuiiuu uuoui mm. xno birds were chirping In the trees, tho air was balmy. Indeed, tho scene was as peaceful as any the young man had over experienced. It was difficult for him to realize that he was between two armies, vzhose business it was to slaughter eaob other, and that if ho were known to bo a Union soldier In disguise ho would be swinging off from tho limb of a tree. Arising from his earthly bed, ho mado his way to tho turnpike and walked southward. Coming to a farm house, he asked for a breakfast and received somo corn pone and a cup of uuiu ue uiuiio irom ana wnero no uo Kujiiu. uu uuiu Liiur Liin ) nn :n nnn Oflrrovpfl Ilia fnthnn'a fnmn 1. ua Kuiuu uutvii ui HiuiNr. in rim ivin.

Sho was carrying a basket on her rm Pnnrfllnlnrr nrrrra fi ti fl lntfn. n .1 .1 sked her if they were for sale. She eplled tftat they were not, but he was t liberty to help himself. Ho had no uuu muy nui uuwu uesiue mo roaa nd beean to chatter like macml.q. Tho girl, much to Bob's surprlso, told 1m that she belonged to a Union fnm y; that they were all being treated ery Daaiy ana that sho would like to 0 norm to Ilarrlsburir. where on mint f hers was llvlntr. But she feared nhn n iininn mra nnn wmimnT vnnnr nnnr travel if she were. Bob asked her MWW UMW WMU SUW DUiU U UVUJD v t r r i n r i inn I iininnprarfl nan nnr ir below. Sho was taking the butter nd egga sho carried to a house she 10 didn't succeed In making clear to ob. Tho upshot of tho dialogue was that ob changed hla mind about enlisting tho Confederate army and told tho a day or two and he thought be lght help her on her way to her aunt Harrisburg. To this she replied that he might find her on her return and ho might not. Leaving lior, Bob pursued his way down tho road, thinking more of her i than his mission. Just before coming I to a depression lu the road that would hldo her from him be turned for a last look. Sho turned at the same moment, and they both smiled. Then Bob, see ing a cluster of white tents before him, began to remember what ho was Uierc for. Tho next evening about dusk Ella Carncal, the girl Bob had met on his way south, looking out through a win dow, saw half a dozen Confederate troopers riding rapidly up tho road. One of them left the others and, com ing to tho house, called. Ella opened tho window, and ho asked If sho had seen anything of a young fellow In a butternut suit. She said sho hadn't, and, riding on, he joined his comrades. Some twenty minutes later, when It was quite dark without, sho saw a face at the window. It was very palo and wore n frightened look. Moreover. It was the face of tho young nun In butternut she had met on the road tho morning before. Bob Merlden hud got within tho Con federate lilies through n gap in the pickets, luid gone about gathering In formation, but hud pxclted suspicion. He hud become aware of his danger mid hid himself In a wood from whence he had seen the men who had suspect ed him riding rapidly on tho road and felt sure they were after him. Find lug a picket dozlug on his post. Hob effected an exit and, skulking over wooded ground, hnd brought up at the house in question. Tho two youngsters held a confer ence, and Bob told Ella that tho Con federates hnd tried to force him to en list In their cause, but ho had succeed ed in getting away from them. Ho did not dnre remain in the house he would skulk In tho woods but if the next morning she would meet him on the road within range of the Federal pick ets he would see what ho could do to ward getting her through the lines and sending her north to her aunt Sho thankfully accepted his proposi tion, and Bob skulked away to hide from thoso seeking him. It was about 10 o'clock In tho morn ing that Bob, having passed through a cornfield, mounted a fence at a rise in the ground and looked about him. On tho road ho saw walking a figure that he judged to be Ella Carneal. De scending from his point of observation, he mado toward her, and she waved her hand to him. He soon joined her, and they walked together toward the Union picket line. Bob knew that at that time his com mander, who was preparing for a move ment, was very particular about allow ing citizens in his camps. So, conclud ing that It would bo necessary, in or der to get his protege through and send her on her way north, that he should vouch for her, ho told her that he would tell tho general that ho had found In her a cousin and instructed her as to tho part sho should play. Sho was very grateful to him for this, though she regretted that tho decep tion should bo necessnry. On coming to the picket Bob asked the officer In command to inform tho general of his coming and ask permission to bring another person to headquarters. Tho officer was directed to bring the two In at once. Bob hnd gathered just tho Informa tion his commander required. Ella re mained outside the "tent while Bob went in aud reported. As soon as ho he had done so he informed the general of his meeting with his cousin and asked permission to send her north. Tho general was surprised at the co incidence and looked incredulous. But Bob assured him that tho girl was an unsophisticated little thing, barely six teen, and tho commander gave his con sent Ho suggested, however, that one of his staff take the girl in charge.- Bob winced at this, but was forced to obey, and bade goodby to his Httlo cous in with regret, promising that as soon as the war was over ho would look her up. That was tho last that Bob saw of Ella Carnenl till the next day, when ho received an order to report In per son nt general headquarters. What was his astonishment to find his cousin there with a soldier on each side of her. "In you two," said tho general, "are a pair of knaves. You go south to do secret service work for me and bring back a 'cousin' to do secret service work for tho enemy." "What do you mean, general?" cried tho astonished Bob. "I suspected your 'cousin, whoso sto ry was very flimsy, and gave her the run of our camps. But I set a watch upon her. Sho was taking down notes of our forces and making sketches of our defenses when she was interrupted tn her work and brought to me." "You don't mean It, general!" ex claimed Bob. "According to the rules of war, it is my duty to order a drumhead court martial and hang her." "Great heavens!" "Thero was an Impressive silence, which was broken by tho general. "Tho Information you brought me Is very valuable. What reward do you ask for getting It?" Bob took tbo hint and said eagerly, "I ask a pardon for this Httlo girl." "That let's me out," replied the gen ral. "It is my duty to hang her, but jlnco you claim her llfo as your reward for a service In which you risked the death that Is duo her she Is pardoned. When tho information sho has acquir ed shall have become useless sho shall bo permitted to go whero she likes." After tho war Captain Robert Merl len looked up his "cousin," though he did not go to Harrisburg to find her. He married her In Virginia, and they wero for years known as the two spies. GOVERNOR TENER SIGNS BILL FOR JUDGES Will Servo in County of Philadelphia Lawyers Believe Measuro Un constitutional Message to Legis lature. Harrisburg, March 31. Governor John K. Tener, Saturday night sign ed tho Vare bill, which gives Phila delphia county live additional law judges. Tho bill was strongly op posed by many Phlladelphlans, both lawyers and laymen. Many lawyers bellevo it is unconstitutional and will make a legal fight on It. Interest centers to-day1 on the ques tion of whom tho governor will ap point to these five $11,000 judical posts, and at least a score of mem bers of tho Philadelphia bar wero suggested for the newly created places on tho common pleas bench of that county. The five appointees of Governor Tener will serve until January, 1914, and will be compelled to come before tho people for nomination at tho pri mary election September 27, and for election in November. Political influence, it was declared to-day, will determine the selection, and thero will be named four Republicans and a Democrat to fill the places. State Senator Francis S. Mcllhen ny, who led the fight in the senate for tho Municipal Court measuro, an nounced that in view of the signing of the five judges' measure by the governor no would abandon the present movement to effect a recon sideration of tho Municipal Court bill. Won't Discuss Matter. Governor Tener refused to discuss his reasons for signing tho judges bill. It Is the consensus of opinion about the capitol that he had intend ed to veto the" bill before he made his visit to Philadelphia last Friday, and that, after he shifted and real ized tho universal opposition that would follow the announcement of his act, he camo to the conclusion that anything he might say would make no difference anyway. Friends of the governor give as an excuse for his action tho belief that he has been advised that the law will be declared unconstitutional. It is said that Attorney General Bell holds this opinion. At any rate the placing of his signature to the bill placates the Vares and will probably win their support in the house for the $50,000,000 highway bond issue and other measures which the gov ernor wants to seo passed. The governor when seen by news paper men refused to discuss the ac tion. " I have nothing , to say on any phase of the matter," he said. To Prepare Message. Governor Tener expects this week to prepare his message to tho legis lature on the subject of a vice inves tigation, and it will probably be transmitted to the senate and housa before they adjourn for the week. The governor expects to recommend the creation of a commission to study the white slave evil in Penn sylvania and draft legislation for tho suppression of the traffic. He takes the position that all men agree as to the nefarlousness of this busi ness and that the most effective means should be employed to stamp it out. The governor is not likely to ad vocate a sweeping vice probe with its attendant sensationalism and in justifiable reflections on the moral standard of tho women of Pennsyl vania, especially the working girls. "Would Hamper Health Men. Four bills, which it is claimed would cripple the work of the state department of health in its campaign for the purification of tho streams of Pennsylvania, have been discovered among tho hundreds of measures that came in during the final rush just before the house of representa tives shut off tho Introduction of new bills. These measures wero Introduced by Representative J. H. Young, of Allegheny. Mr. Young's district In cludes tho borough of Tarentum, which, is now being prosecuted by the commonwealth for refusing to com ply with tho requirements for a sew age disposal plant. Tho health department records state that since 1906, when the cru sade for the supposition of pollution of streams by sewage was begun un der the act of 1905, tho death rate from typhoid has decreased from 53.8 to 1C.G per one hundred thous and of population. Tho number of deaths has fallen from 3,917 to 1,323 per year during thesarae period. Money for Lnwycrs. Tho bills designed to make the law business more surely remunerative are attracting attention in the house of representatives. Both aro simple little bills. One amends the act of 1907, which pro vides that the court may appoint one or two lawyors to defend Indigent persons accused of murder, who shall receive $200 each for their work. Tho amendment not only raises the fees to be paid to each lawyer to $500, but provides that tho court may appoint lawyers to defend, at that rate, any person accused of a felony for which tho maximum pun ishment exceeds five years' imprison ment. Tho limit Includes almost all felonies. Members of tho houseware wondering how long it would bo be fore a class of professional defend ants developed, to be accused and ac quitted from time to time. This bill is still in judiciary special commit tee. The other bill provides that tho at torney shall have a lien for his com pensation that shall attach to any award, order, report, decision, com promise settlement, verdict or Judg ment In tho client's favor, and that tho proceeds shall not bo affected or defeated by any compromise before or after Judgment. The court in which tho case is brought shall havo jurisdiction to determine and enforce the lien. This bill is on second read ing. Want a Partner Want a Situation Want a Servant Girl ADVERTISE.
