i; CORPORAL i; McFADDEN'S LEG By John Wlotbrop Gretn. i Copyright, WM.uy John Wlnthrop Green. WHEN the Sixteenth New York mnrohetl with Grant Into the Wilderness, Cor pornl MeFadden of Com flany n put 300 In the lmnk. The bank wns his shoe the one on his left foot. In One time the Confederates were found In line of battle aeross the line of march, and the Sixteenth wns deployed, with a hundred other rent tnents, to face them. BklrmlftlilnR had only begun when Corporal MeFadden had Ills leg nhattered by a bullet. Of course It was the left left. Ho was car rled to tho fleld bonpltal In the rear, and, after a brief examination, the sur geon said: "Sorry for you, corporal, but we must amputate the left to save your life." It was a case In which the victim had nothing to say. When he returned to consciousness, his left leg had been am putated nt the knee, and he was lying among a hundred other wounded men. The loss of bis mtney occurred to him at once, and he made the fact known to a comrade who bad been shot In the shoulder. "Go out and find my left leg and that 1300, and I'll give you half the money," said the corporal, and the man agreed. It was easy enough to find the "scrap heap" of legs and arms, but not so easy to Identify a left leg. There were "But there' tomtthlng tntide the toch," laid Smith. rights and lefts to the number of a hun dred, with the heap growing oil the time. The messenger made a selection and removed the shoe, but there was no money. lie tried again and again, but did not bit It Then be gave up and searched no further. Soon after he let go a soldier who bad been lightly wounded in the head came along and looked the "scrap heap" over and said to himself: "There are some good shoes here, and It would be a pity to bury them with legs and feet I'll change mine for a better pair." In overhauling the relics be came upon Corporal McFadden'i left leg. He removed the shoe and found It a fit Then be found a right one and was provided for. Grant moved by the flank that night and the Confederates did the same. The field was left in pos session of the Union forces. Next morning the work of burial began. .While a big bole was being dug for the amputated arms and legs Corporal Me Fadden sent word to the sergeant in charge of that detail about bis $300. "He's crazy," replied the sergeant "Here's a whole wagon load of left legs, all looking alike, and bow are we to pick out bis!" No effort was made to do so. After an hour or so the last limb was tossed Into the pit and the men began shovel ing In the dirt As they worked away the sergeant suddenly said: "Here, now, but you've overlooked that leg In the bushes. You, Smith, haul It out and dump It In." "But there's something inside the sock," said Smith. "Hold easy, now, till I see what It is." With his knife the soldier ripped up the sock, and there was the corporal's greenbacks. Only three of the party aw the money. They winked at each other and pocketed the find and later on made a divide. That closed the in cident for several weeks. Corporal MeFadden was sent to a hospital in Washington and soon rallied. The sol diers who had gobbled bis money went to the front and one day before Peters burg Smith was mortally wounded. To ease his conscience he told about the "divide,' and a chaplain wrote down bis confession. When the other two men were called up, they denied tba story. A surgeon and a staff officer be - came Interested with the chaplain on on aide, and the captain of Company B, the colonel of the Sixteenth and others took up the other side. Curious ly enough, the soldier who stole Mc Fadden'i shoe came forward and ac knowledged it hut It was a long time before the money could be traced. By this time colonels, brigadiers and major generals bad become Interested, and Corporal McFadden'i name was household word in the Army of the Po tomac. At length the guilty private broke down and confessed. He got off With three months In a military prison. ' while the sergeant was drummed out ot the army. Between them they Mi to make goad the $300, and the boys ot the Sixteenth chipped In as much more, and so the soldier who lost bis leg and his shoe and his bank deposit didn't come out so badly after all. On the day Lee surrendered, and while we were having a lively skirmish, a staff ofllcor rode tip and ordered us to fall back and announced that negotiations were In progress. There were cheers all along the line, but later on we be gan to doubt the good news. 'Boys," shouted an Irishman in Com pany B, "don't ye be afeared of the news. Sure, an army that can find McFadden's money can smash the Confederate states, and we'll all he go ing home by this time tomorrow!" ' Strange Caves Forme for Animals. That there are some animals which cannot thrive without salt Is well known, but no very clear demonstra tion of this was forthcoming until M. Desnr.lnges, a French traveler, noticed some remarkable eaves In the Orlstadt district of the Transvaal and discover ed, to his surprise, that they bad been gradually formed by animals llckjag the salt of which their walls were large ly formed. "Kaeh of these grottoes, or caves," be says, "Is as large as an ordinary drawing room, and the natives assured me that they bad been entirely hollow ed out by the antelopes, which are known In this country as 'dwlcks.' Wishing to learn why the animals bus led themselves In making such excava tions, I examined the caves and found that their walls were impregnated with salt its presence being clearly revealed by very characteristic crystallizations. A day or two later, as I was bunting, I noticed 14 antelopes rush out of one of these caves as soon as they heard me approaching." M. Desuzlnges also says that the elks In the Transvaal have a similar bablt and may often be Seen searching for salt near quarries or deposits of marl. Dentistry In Japan. You must know that a Japanese den tist never uses anything but bis Angers when extracting a tooth. They have no surgical Instruments. This Is how they are able to work: A number of holes are bored In a plank of wood and pegs Inserted In them. The plank Is laid on the floor, and the novice pulls them out with the finger and thumb of his right hand. By this practice strength and dexterity are acquired. Then an oak log with oak pegs is tried, and tho young man Is kept on this for a year. The third year Is put In by operating on a slab of marble which contains numberless pegs of the hardest wood. After this he Is qualified to go into business. A thorough workman will grab a patient with bis left band and yank out Ave or six teeth with the right hand without even stopping to rest It seems Impossible, but practice and long training will enable any one to accom plish it.
