A Ride injhe Night.
f. How the first Officer Received
Hit Wound.
It was the evening of tho flint j
day out. Behind us the nun had i
dropped down below tho nen, uud the
stenmnhip wits plowing on steadily
into the enst, whore the dnrkness wna 1
gathering fast. Tho Urat officer ntood !
with liis buck ngniust tho mil, lazily '
watching the throng of pnsaengers on
tho promenndo duck. The whole
nfl'uit' stinted with a commonplace I
"Good evouing." It ended with tho i
following story: I
"Yes, thnt wna rathor n nnaty cut nt !
the time," he bognu. "1 mine by it j
during the Innt hour of tho rido, noon
after we had aightcd the town lights, !
nud, strniige enough, it wasn't from n '
bullet nt all not one of them had !
touched me nil night but it mine j
from the broken lantern of the Inst ,
man thnt full. An the follow pitched
from the naddlo lie swung bin luutern
across him, nud the glnaa of it struck
me in tho face and bunt to piece.
"Thut wrb buck in no, it waan't
either. Lot's boo, now, it wna some
yenrs after we stole thnt gunboat I
told you of, but I've forgotten
wheu that wna, too. Woll, it iau't of !
much consequence, anyway. I was
one of the intelligence officers in tho ,
service of the Indian government, and I
juat before sundown that evening the j
colonel came up to me sort of languid- I
like, a way he had when he didn't j
want to let on he waa excited. I never
knew a man that tried so hurd to be
dignified.
" 'We've got important despatches
to carry down to heudqunrters
tonight,' Haiit he. 'See that the horses'
iron shoes are replaced by the leathers,
and bo ou hand yourself at 0 o'clock.
The ordoi'B are thnt we've got to get
the papers through by daylight.'
"We hod other orders beside these,
fort of special orders thnt weren't
written down anywhere, but none of
its wore likely to forget them, or we
didu't apeak about them much among
ourselves. You see, tho government
wanted those despatches to' go
through, and if a muu dropped out of
the running well, it waa exceedingly
bad luok fur him, that's all the rest
of us couldn't stop.
"There wasn't any moon that night,
but the sky waa clear, which was a
(rood thing you see, for we only had
the stars to go by, and if we once get
off the track we'd go wandering round
the desert till we died. Prompt at, I)
o'clock we started. There were 12
of us. The oolouel took the lead
he was nn old hand at the game and
I took up tho rear guard behind. Be
tween us rode the sergeant and nine
troopers. We passed the sentry juat
as taps waa sounded in the stillness.
Then we lit the luutorus, which we
curried ou the end of lances, swing
ing out slowly into the desert.
"Nobody spoke a word. There was
little draught of wind blowing iu
from somewhere, and all around the
desert sort of sneaked oil' into the
blackness and disappeared. It waa
terriblo quiet. Tho steady oreaking
of leather nnd the jangling of the bits
made it worso. Tho lanterns, too,
they made us all look funny, swing
ing gently at the end of the long poles
and throwing yellow discs of light
before the horses. The colonel had a
notiou about those lanterns. He said
the niggers could sea us unywny, if
we showed n I'nre or not, and the
light kept the horsoa going steady. I
could never quite make out whether
lie was a genius or a jnoknss, as the
waving goes, but he being the oolouel
didn't leave any room for argument
for in e.
"We bad jogged along about nn
Lour or so, wheu of a sudden I heard
a low rumbling from somewhere be
hind us iu the night, I was just going
to speak of it when the oolonel up
ud hollers: "Now, boys, thoy're
after us. I'nt it to 'em.' And, away
- we weut a-tiuriu' down the desert.
. "for the first two miles ' we hit a
terrible olip. The wind was sweepiu'
past us like the rush of a suddeu
squall, and tho luuterus were
rbobbiu' tit to die.
"Uy aud by we oome to slow tip a
bit for a breathing spell, aud the
rumbling grew pluiuer. I had turned
half around to take a loak at thorn
whon a Hash of tire spat at me from
out tho blaekuess behind, and 'ping!'
by jore she whistled cloao. That
tttitad us off again ft-wh'jopiu'.
"At the next breathing spell the
sergeant wna hit. He held on grand
for upward of hnlf a mile; bnt soon
he turned to wubbling, and gripping
to the saddle, and grunting softly. It
was enough to turn a man aick to see
the poor follow tlgbtiu' that way when
there wasn't any ne, for we all knew '
whnt. he wss omin' to, and ao did he.
"Then all at once his lantern
swooped downward to the gronnd,
and my horse jumped him. None of
its looked buck we know enough not
to but we rode like fury to get out
of earshot before they found him.
"Thnt waa the flint of 'em.
The bnllota kept a-whiz.ing by with
out a bit of let-up. The gang wns
strniniu' crazy mad to catch un. It
had come down to solid business now.
Kadi tunn wna riding for himself. Ho
II through the night we tore ou down
the vast stretch of desert, with the
rush of the niggers behind ua, and
nothing but the blackness abend.
And the lanterns were always swaying
and bobbing up and down, with the
light circles dancing ou the sand.
If they had only yollod now nnd then
'twould have been easier. Hut they
didn't, and we listened to the hard
breath of the horses nnd the singing
slugs. There wasn't any talking.
Wo were staring before na, straight in
front, trying to raise the town boyond
the skyline, and waiting always for
to seo who'd catch it next.
"Then we began to feel that the
horses were playing out beneath us,
and with the breathing spells grow
ing longer and more often, the niggers
gained. The next man wns shot dead,
and wo didn't linve to shut our teeth
for him. Hut over and over again it
hnppened juat the same; the soft
grunting, the swaying iu the saddle,
thnt horrible choking thud as he
struck the gronnd, and the rent jab
bing our horses like wild men to get
as far away from him ns we could. We
hud set out, you seo, to rnrry the
pnpers through we hnd to do it nnd
by the time we lifted tho town lights
over the horizon there were three of
ns, riding abreast. Then the Inat
mini dropped, 'Twna his lantern
thnt caught me in tho face. Thiuga
got fiiniiy nfter thnt. The colonel
said I wna talking silly when we got
in. Well, I scarcely think the com
pany is paying me to stand round here
idling nnd spinning yarns like this.
I'll see you agnin sometime."
And the oflicer passed forward
nlong the deck to disappear iu the
thick darkness that hud settled down
over the ship.
STOOD BESIDE HIS OWN CRAVE.
Itend the Inscription, but Doesn't Know
Wbn 1 Hurled t here.
T)r. John W. Sage, who wns buriod
recently at Hartford City, Ind., saw
his grave and headstone while he wns
yet living, but the grave hud been dug
aud the stone had boon carved with
out the authority and knowledge of
himself or friends. Dr. Hage was a
member of one of the Indiana regi
ments that fought in the battle of
Chickamangn, aud he was wonnded
there. Whon he came out of the
hospital he was transferred to the re
serve corps, where he remained until
the end of the war.
A year ugo the doctor, in company
w ith a party of excursionists, visited
tho southern battlefields over which
he once marched. He saw the old
tree nudor which he slept after a day's
terrific engagement, in which he was
badly wounded. It was ou this uight
thut he threw away his kuupsaek aud
lay down to die alone.
While muking a tour of the battle
field of Cbickiimaugu he cuine upon
whnt purported to be his own grave.
There could be no mistake, as tho opi
taph on the tombstono read: "John
W. Hugo, Compuny F, Heventy-fifth
Iiegiment, Indiana oluntoors.
It gave him quite a shock wheu he
saw it there. He never learned the
correct name of the soldiur buried
there, although he made a thorough
investigation.
The doctor received a communica
tion from Dr. C. B. Arthur of Port
land, Iud., who during the war was
ou duty iu n hospital. Arthur writes
that ou Hatnrdny, Hopt. ltf, 1808, Hugo
came to the hospital for treatment,
after which he returned to his regi
ment. On tho following Sunday after
noon n uuiu wan brought to Arthur's
hospital, near Crawford Springs, ()a. ,
mortally wonnded. The dying muu
resembled Huge so closely thut he was
given the name of Sage of Company
I'", Hovcuty-lifth regiment, Indiana
volunteers.
The man wob attired in a cavalry
man's uniform, but nothing was
thought of this, as some of the
members of the Seventy-fifth were
compelled to care for themselves as
l ost they oould,.aud Arthur uuturally
concluded that Huge hud appropriated
a deud cavalryman's clothes. He
thereby made a mistake, which after
ward proved very embarrassing to
Huge uud his relatives.
Arthur afterward mot Huge in Win
Chester. Ind., where, after explana
tions were made, Huge told Arthur
thut on going into battle on that Sat
urday he luid aside bis knapsack, in
which were a teatument, diary aud some
letters from Wiuchester, Iud. The
knapsack was taken by the cavalry
man resembling him, aud thus became
the ounse of further complications,

tiny jet-worked figures. Her shirt
waist opened in frout to show a flat

I've seen in two mouths. Her toque

Instead of giving up the shirt waist,

very becoming, giving as it doea
breadth across the shouldor, and a
taper to tho waist.
The thiM waist shows the nso of
embroidery combined with the tucks,

C. B. Thompson, 18 years of age, was
arrested at New Castle Wednesday,
on a charge of endeavoring to pass a
forged check nt various places. The
cheek was signed with the name of John
S. Glenn, a wealthy farmer who lives
near the city. The prisoner at first
stoutly denied that the check was a for
gery, but after being put through the
sweat box by the chief of police, he
said he was an orphan and had worked
for some years for Mr. Glenn, who had
not paid him anything. He said he
thought if he could get the money on
the check he would be getting what be
longed to him. The boy was so ver
dant and knew so little of law and crime
that he was sent home and no charge
was made again: t him. He said he
would call at Mr. Glenn's and beg his
pardon,
