crowding cavalry had struck down and shredded the wayside vines and bushes to bury them under a cloud of follow- ing dust, and the dull, plunging double- quick of infantry had trodden out this hideous ruin into one dusty level chaos.

Along that rnudely-widened highway,

useless muskets, torn accontrements,

knapsacks, caps and articles of clothing were scattered, with here and there the larger wrecks of bro wn wagons,

roughly thrown aside into the ditch to make way for the living current. Fortwo hours the greater part of an army corps had passed and repassed that way, but,

coming or going, always with faces turned eagerly towards an open slope on the right which ran parallel to the lane. And yet nothing was to be seen there. For two hours a gray and blue- aken with explo- sion after explosion, but always closing and thickening after discharge,

driver glanced back on the tense chain and hesitated. “Goon,” yelled the prostrate man, and the wheel went over him. Another and another gun followed out of the dust cloud, until the whole battery had deployed on ‘the slope. Before the dust cloud had fairly settled, the falling back of the panting horses with their drivers gavea mo mentary glimpse of the nearest gun already in position and of the fom erect figures beside it. The yell that seemed to have evoked this sudden ap

parition again sounded nearer; 4 blinding flash broke from the gun which was instantly hidden by the

closing group around it; and a deafen

ing crash with the high ringing o metal ran down the lane A column 9/ white, woolly smoke arose as anothe r

flash broke beside it. This was kly followed by another and ther, with @ response from the gun -d, until the whole slope shook and thundered. And the smoke, no

quic an first fir

longer white and woolly, but darkening and thickening as with unburnt grains of gunpowder, mingled into the one ominous vapor, and driving along the lane hid even the slope from view

The yelling had ceased, but the grind- ing and rattling heard through the de- tonation of guns seemed nearer still,

and suddenly there was a shower of

guns, and went down in a gush of smoke and roar of sound. So level was

‘the delivery and so close the impact’

that a space seemed suddenly cleared between, in which the whirling of the shattered remnants of the charging cavalry was distinctly seen, and the shouts and oaths of the inextricably struggling mass became plain and ar ticulate. Then a gunner serving the nearest piece suddenly dropped his swab and seized a carbine. For out of

the whirling confusion before them a

single rider was seen galloping furi-

ously towards the gun.

The red-capped young officerrode for- ward and knocked upward the gunner’s weapon with his sword. For in that rapid glance he had seen that the rider's reins were kanging loosely on the neck of his horse, who was still dashing for ward with the aequ.red impetus of the charge, and that the youthful figure of the rider, wearing the stripes of a lieu- tenant, although still erect, exercised no control over the animal. The face was boyish, blonde and ghastly; the eyes

| were set and glassy. It was Desth itself charging the gun.

Within a few feet of it the horse swerved before a brandished rammer, and striking the cheeks of a gun car- riage pitched his inanimate rider across the gun. The hot blood of the dead man smoked on the hotter brass with the reek of the shambles, and bespat-

tered the hand of the gunner who still mechanically served the vent. As they lifted the dead body down, the order came firing. For the yells from below had ceased too; the rattling and grinding was receding with the smoke further to the left. The ominous entral cloud parted for a brief moment ed the unexpected sun glitter- ing down the slope. upon a near and peaceful river | The handsome artillery officer had dismounted and was gently examining the dead man. H.s breast had been crushed by a fragment of shell. He must have died instantly. The same missile had cut the chain of a locket | which slipped from his opened coat. The officer picked it up with a strange feeling—perhaps because he was con- scious himself of wearing a similar one; perhaps because it might give him some | clew to the man’s identity. It contained

/ only the photograph of a pretty girl, a

tendril of fair hair and the word “Sally.” In the breast pocket was s sealed letter with the inscription: ‘For Miss Sally Dows, to be delivered if I fall by the hireling’s hand.” A faint smile came over the officer's face. He | was about to hand the articles to a ser- | geant, but changed his mind and pnt them in his pecket.

Meantime the lane and woods be- | yond, and even the slope itself, were |ecrowding with reserves and waiting troops. His own battery was still un- |limbered awaiting orders. There was

a slight commotion in the lane.

“Very well done, captain. Smartly | taken and gallantly held.”

It was the voice of a genera) Officer passing with his staff. There was a | Rote of pleasant relief in its tone and the middle-aged, care-drawn face of its owner was relaxed in a paternal smile.

The young captain flushed with pleasure.

“And you seem to have had close work, too,” added the general, point- ing to the dead man.

The young ofiicer hurriedly explained. The general nodded, saluted and passed on. But a youthful aid airily lingered.

“The old man’s feeling good, Court- land,” he said. “We've rolled ’em up all along the line. It’s all over now. In point of fact I reckon you've fired the last gun in this particular fratri- cidal engagement.”

The last gun! Courtland remained silent, looking abstractedly at the frag- ment it had crushed and broken at his feet.

“And I shouldn’t wonder if you got your gold iJeaf for to-day’s work. But who’s your sunny southern friend here?” he added, following his com- panion’s eyes.

Courtland repeated his story a little more seriously, which, however, failed to impress the young aid’s levity. “So he concluded to stop over,” he in- terrapted, cheerfully. “But,” looking at the letter and photograph,, “I say— look here! ‘Sally Dows? Why, there was another man picked up yesterday with a letter from the same girl! Doe Murphy has And, by Jove! the same picture, too, eh? Look here,

Courty! you might get Doe Murphy's

letter ana nunt ner up when this crud war is over. Say you're ‘fulfillings sacred trust!” See? Good idea, old man! Ta-ta,” and he trotted quickly after his superior.

Courtland remained with the letter and photograph in his hand, gazing ab- stractedly after him. The smoke had rolled quiteaway from the flelds on the left, but still hung heavily down the south on the heels of the flying cavalry. A long bugle cal] swelled up musically from below. The freed sun caught the white flags of two field hospitals in the woods and glanced tranquilly on the broad, cypress-fringed, lazy-flowing and cruel but beautiful Southern river, which had all unseen crept so smilingly that morning through the very heart of the battle.
