A VETERAN'S VALUABLE ADDITION

7 TO WAR LITERATURE.

How on Odd Signal Agreed Upon by frothers, Who Were on Cpposite Sides, Was Finally Used—A Mystery the Old Beldicr Didu’t Try to #xpiain.

As the reporter was ri ipidly hurrying past the door cf a saloon he was met b7 | an old soldier, who sugge stively tiprcJ his hat.

“If you will tell me a story,’’ r-- marked the reporter, aceep* ug the ti: “I’}l pay for the potations. I have a thirst for a story; you have a thirst for

adrink. Let us exchange.”’

The veteran was quick to pores as the parched soil responds to the rateful rain, and, opening the , he bo wed the reporter in and escorted hin 1 toa ta- ble in a quict corner, where presently the potables were served.

“f don’t think I could have earned @hat I am now so greatly and grate- fully enjoying,’’ said the veteran, with a glowing cheek, as he s t down his glass, after a long swallow, ‘‘had it not been that today I met an old comrade from Kentucky, a state, you will re- member, which had soldiers in both armies, and good soldiers, I may add. This man, who is now a merchant and comes to New York to buy goods every year, was in the Federal army, and he had a nephewin the same regiment with himself and another in the Confed- erate army. The young chaps were brothers, and they were mighty fond of each other, but they were fonder of their principles or patriotism or politics, or whatever you may call it, so they agreed to disagree, and each one go to the side he thought was the right side.

“It was asad parting, for they had been closer together than most brothers, and before they separated they fixed up a kind of signal to identify themselves by, so that if one was wounded and left on the field he conld notify the other if it happened they were on the opposite sides in that particular fight. It wasa boyish kind of a lottery chance of one

ina million, but it suited them, and that’s all they cared for. The signal ar- rangement was to be a light chain with a note fastened to it, and the whole ching was to be fastened to the bullet and dropped into the old muskets they had in those days. This was to be fired at random up into the air to fall among the soldiers of the opposite side to be picked up as it might and taken to the man whose address was in the note, along with other instructions to be fol- lowed out by the brother who might be in condition to do it. You can ceo how childish and almost impossible it was, but there was just tha made it attractive to the boys, and they told each other gocdby and went their y ways, the one to the north, the other to the south, each bearing with bim his

chain and note of identification attached

to the bit of lead that some day might

bear on its wings the message of death. ’’

The veteran was becoming poetic and

pathetic, and the reporter suggested a refilling of the glasses, and the sugges-

tion met with immediate and pleased

a approval.

**For the first two years,’’ continued the veteran, ‘‘the bcys hadn’t any occa- Sion to use their signals, for they had gone through unscathed, and, besides, Shey were @ Servin x in sections of. the

country Widely separated, but in 1563, in the fall, they were with the armies fighting through Tennessee, though they had lost track of each other except in a general way.

‘‘Just what they knew of each other’s whereabouts I don’t know, but one night in November there was a skirmish some- where in the neighborhood of Knoxville, in which 500 or 600 men on a side were engaged, without result, and both sides. had settled down for the night to wait and fight it out by daylight. There were a lot of wounded men, and dead ones, too, for that matter, scattered through the woods, where most of the fighting had been. There was a cornfield about a quarter of a mile wide separat- ing the woods, and there had been some scrapping in this open ground, though most of the fighting had been done from cover, as these smal] skirmish line fights generally are.

‘‘IT was corporal of the guard that night, and by 6 o’clock there was only an occasions! shot, as if each side was quitting reluetantly and by inches. I am not positive, but it seems to me that I heard the last two shots before still- ness settled over all. What the details of the romance, or the tragedy, or what- ever you want to call it, are I don’t know. I know, though, that during the night we had re-enforcements, and when we began to cautiously peep around, as soon as the day bagan to break, we dis- covered that the enemy had by some

'| hook orerook taken alarm and departed * ' jn the night, leaving their dead on the | field, and among them, when we sent

out our burying party, we found one of those boys with a bullet through his lung and arcther, bearing a chain and a note, burisd in his brain. On our side we found the other nephew with both legs broken by a ball and a bullet through his heart, with a chain aud note attached to it.’

The reperter threw up his hanas in amas ment, not to say doubt. “T don’t try to explain it,’’ the: ert

istened to say apolegetically. ‘‘I know it is hard to explain. It 3 is even berd to believe, but what is a man to do or 10 say when he sees such things ‘with his own eves??’—Nerv Vork Sun.

Dr. Mitchell and the Stranger.

Dr. Weir Mitchell of Philadciphia tells the following story on himself: “While traveling in England,’’ he said, **T fell into conversation with a stranger who proved te be a man of great intelli- gence and culture. We discussed recent novels, on which we spoke with much freedom. I expressed my opinion of Tess, some parts of which I thonght were very melodramatic, especial em- phasis being laid on the first part of the compound word. ‘In fact,’ I said, ‘they ave so mellow that they approach the stage of rottenness.’ As we were parting the gentleman said, ‘You may be inter- ested in knowing that my name is Thomas Hardy.’ ’’—New York Sun.

It was related of one of the members of Grant’s first cabinet, a former college professor of the ‘‘know it all’’ variety, that he was on one occasion discoursing

on the subject of the Druses, when an

auditor interrupted bim with the re- mark that the cyclopedia did not agree with him. ‘‘Oh,’’ was the reply, ‘‘I know a great deal more about the Druses than I did when I wrote that article in the cyclopedia. ’’—Argonanut.
