CHAPTER |. -: • * — 1 — *

On Special Service.It was already growing dusk when

tfie Staunton Battery-of Horae artil-lery returned wearily to camp afternourB of hard field drill, the men ever'conscious that no evolution, howevertrivial, was being overlooked by"Stonewall" Jackson, sitting astridehis sorrel on a little eminence to the

- left, hjs stem face unrelieved by even, the semblance'of a smile.

The winter quarters of the StauntonsrttlleYy were slightly off the mainroad and I remained for some time

- overseeing the care of the horsea be-_ fore approaching the hut where the

noncommissioned officers had mess.We were all of us Btlll at the table,discussing the lncld'entB of the drill,

"when a lieutenant appeared suddenly-In the doorway.

"Sergeant Wyatt?" he Inquired• briefly. • '•

I arose to my feet

"Here, sir," I answered In some sur-prise.

"Tou are requested to report to•• Oeneral' Jackson at once;, bis head-

quarters for tonight are at Coulter's' farm, on the dirt.pike. You will ride

your own horse." • •Five minutes later I was guiding

tny own horse down the dark road,- bending low in the saddle, obsessedwith a feeling that this mission,whatever It might turn out to be,promised a change In my fortunes.

It was £n ugly path, rutted deep byartillery wheels, and dangerous forthe horse. I was an hour reachingthe Coulter house, a double log cabin,some fifty feet or more back from theroad. i It was with some difficulty thatI made my way through the obstruct-ing guard to the steps, where an officertook my name at the closed door, dis-appeared in a sudden blaze of. lightand I stood there silently in theehadowa waiting.

'Ten minutes must have elapsed be-fore -the door opened again and Ibeard my named called. It was arough appearing, commonplace in-

' terlor. A sturdy fire burned in thefireplace, and three lamps illuminedthe scene, revealing the presence ofSve men, among whom I instantlyrecognized^ Ewell, Ashby, togetherwith Jackson; and his chief of staff.The fifth occupant of the room satalone in one .corner, his face partiallyconcealed, revealing little other than

'& fringe of gray whiskers'. Jackson,seated behind a table littered withpapers and maps, glanced up at theannouncement of the orderly, and Icame Instantly to attention, my handlifted in salute. The general's stern jblue eyes surveyed me Intently.

"Sergeant Wyatt, Staunton artil-lery?" -

"Yes, sir.""How.Jong, may-I-ask. have you

been in the service?""Since May, '61, sir.""Ah! Indeed. And your age?""Twenty-four, sir."He made some remark aside to the

Aide, who nodded back, and pointed toa map before them.

"You are a younger man In appear-ance than I had expected to see, seY-geant," JackBon said slowly. . "Yet Ihave learned within the last year tohave confidence In young men. WarIs a swift developer of manhood. Yourcolonel speaks of you In the highestterms and Informs me that you area native of Green Briar county."

"Our home was at Lewlsburg, air.""Then you are doubtless intimately

Acquainted with that section?""Very well, Indeed, general."

Jackson sat motionless and in si-lence for what seemed a long while,his grave eyes on my face, but hisfnlnd evidently elsewhere, one handunconsciously crumpling a folded pa-per. ABhby moved his chair, causing{t to crunch noisily on the floor, and(he commander aroused at the un-tsual sound. '

"By any possibility are you related- lo Judge'Joel Wyatt?" he questioned

He paused questlonlngly, and I drewa quick breath, realizing Buddenly theseriousness of the- situation and theImportance of my decision.

"I am perfectly1 ready to go, Blr."Ewell broke In Impatiently with his

high-pitched voice."May I ask if it be generally known

In Green Briar that you are enlistedIn the Confederate seryice7"

"To but very few, sir," I answered,turning to look across at my unex-pected questioner. "To none I am atall likely to encounter. My mother andFleft the county at the first outbreak.My father's affiliations were with theUnion element"

"Most fortunate. Nothing could bebetter, General Jackson. ' The ser-geant can very safely travel as a Fed-eral officer In search of recruits. Thematter of papers can, of course, beeasily arranged."

Jackson turned toward his aide."What Federal troops are now gar-

risoning Charleston, Swan?""An Ohio brigade, with a regiment

of Pennsylvania cavalry. There Is alsoa company of heavy artillery outsidethe town."

The commander leaned his head onhis hand.

"It was not , my original plan tosend you Into the lines of the' enemyIn a Federal uniform. However, Gen-eral Ewell's Judgment is probably cor-rect Have you a late army list there,Colonel Swan?" v

"Yes, sir, Issued the fourteenth."He turned the pages slowly," leaningforward to the light. "Here Is a Lieu-tenant Raymond, Third U. S. cavalry,reported on recruiting detail. Hisregiment is stationed at FairfaxCourt House."

"He will answer as well as anyother. It is scarcely probable theman would be known in that remotesection. What Is the full name? andwhere Is he from?"

"Charles H.; appointed from Ver-mont"

"Colonel Swan' will arrange thenecessary papers and equipment Or-derly, have Major Kline step In here

at once. Ah, Kline, have you amongyour trophies of war a Federal lieu-tenant's uniform which will probablyfit this man?"

"I believe so, sir," and the officeraddressed ran -his eye appraisinglyover my figure. "Any particular, regi-ment?"

"Third United States cavalry. Haveit pressed and sent here at once, se-curely wrapped, together with saberand revolvers. Sergeant, do you de-sire a better mount?"

"No, sir, my horse is fresh and agoo'd traveler."

"Then £hat will be all, Kline; ex-cept, of course, complete Federal cav-alry equipment for the horse."

The officer saluted and disappeared,the door Instantly closing behind,him, cutting off the hum of voiceswithout There was a moment of al-ienee.

"You had better retain your presentdress until after you leave the valley,"counseled Jackson, slowly.- "Swanwill furnish you with a pass, whichshould be carefully destroyed afterpasslpg qjir pickets at Covlngton. Itwill be of no service to you beyondthat point. My best wishes' for yoursuccess, Sergeant Wyatt"

He stood up, and I felt the firmgrasp of his hand. Then .Ishby'grip-ped my shoulder.

"Wyatt," he said kindly, "If youever desire to change your arm ofthe service, you are the kind of man Iwant to ride with me."

I Bmlled in appreciation, but beforeI could answer, the man who had beensitting silently In the corner arose,and stood ereot In the light Thegleam of the lamp Instantly revealedhis face,- - still shadowed by the widehatv brim, the firm, bearded chin, thegravely smiling eyes.

"General ABhby," he said with quietdignity, "Sergeant Wyatt, I am sure,performs this Important duty withoutthought of reward. It-1B the Souththat -has need of such men in everybranch of her service." - He came for-ward, and extended his hand cordially.

"I am" General Lee, and am "veryglad to greet, and wieh God speed tothe Bon of Judge Wyatt. If you returnin safety, you will report to me lhiperson -at Richmond. General Jack-son will so arrange with your batterycommander." ' \

They were all upon their feetstanding In respectful attention. Imurmured something, I scarcely knewwhat, bowing as I .backed toward thedoor. And this was Lee—Robert B.Lee—this man' with the kind, thought-ful face, the gentle voice, the gravelyconsiderate manner. And he. hadgreeted me in words of personalfriendship, had spoken to me of myfather. I know I straightened to sol-dierly erectress, every pulse thrillingwith a new resolve. A moment I stoodthere, my eyes on the one face I sawbefore "me, and then went out Intothe darkness. The orderly closed thedoor.

CHAPTER II.

An Unwelcome Companion.It was in the chill of a cold, gray

morning that I rode Into Strasburg,Jogging along at the rear of a squad-ron of Fifth Virginia cavalrymen whochanced to be headed for the sameplace. These fonnd quarters In thetown, but I proceeded a mile or moresouth on the valley pike, until Ireached a single-roomed, cabin, heavywooden shutters barring the windows,the door closed and securely fastened.The place to all appearances was. de-serted, and had been for a long while.Although situated scarcely a hundredfeet back from the valley turnpike,which was never without its travelers,and along which armies marched andcountermarched, the surroundingswere those of a remote""wllderness. Idismounted, and leading my horse,pressed a difficult passage through thebushes. To my surprise the rear doorstood slightly ajar, and my eyescelved the movement of an ill-definedshadow within.

"Hello there!" I called out, yetstinctlvely drawing a step backward."la there any room here\for a tiredman?"

The tall, angular figure of a mountaineer immediately appeared In thedoorway, and a gray, wrinkled face,scraggly bearded, looked forth, theeyes glinting and filled with sus-picion.

"Wai, who be ye, an' whut do yewant yere?"

"I am a soldier," I replied, ratherBhortly, not particularly pleased witheither the man's appearance or man-ner. "Myself and horse are aboutworn out. I mistook this for a de-

; serted cabin.""Whar be ye bound? an' whut may

ye be up to a-travelin' alone?"I smiled, endeavoring to retain my

temper."See, here, friend," I returned short-

ly. "I have as much reason to askyou such questions as you have me.However, I am willing-enough to anBwer. I am on furlough, and am go-ing home across the mountains to seemy folks. Do you know Raleighcounty?"

The man, who was now standing up-right In the doorway, one hand grip-ping the barrel of a musket, the earlymorning light on his withered face,stared unwinklngly into my eyes.**I rather reckon I do, young man,

he replied slowly. "Fur I was raisedup on the Green Briar. What moutbe yer name?"

"Cowan." I answered promptly, mymind Instantly alert, and aware I hadmade a mistake."

"Ho! Ye don't aayl One o' ol' NedCowan's boys?" .

"No. I.am a son of Widow Cowan,over on Coal creek."

There was not the faintest glim-mer In the cold, blue eyes, no evidenceof any recollection In the .wrinkledface. His jaws rose and fell on thetobacco which, extended his cheek.

"I don't reckon I've been over thatway fer nigh on fifteen year," he saidat last reflectively. "An' somehow 1don't just recall no Widow Cowan—but I know ol' Ned mighty well. He'stook to the brush with' his whole breedsince"" this fracas started, an' eom'cusses burned hjs house, an' sent theol' woman after 'em. It's plumb hellIn Green Briar. Maybe yer a Cowan,but I'm d d if ye look like eny o'thet outfit ever • I see afore. Whatpart o' the array wus ye with?"

"Sixty-fifth Virginia — Covingtoncompany, Captain Daniels."^

The older man chewed awhile In si-lence, evidently Impressed with theseeming frankness of the reply.

"Wai, ye mout he a Cowan, o'course," he admitted reluctantly."Enyhow I reckon It don't make nogreat difference, fer If ye be goln' terGreen Briar we kin rldo awhile te rgether.

his words sounded, but 1 felt It bestto accept the rather surly Invitation.I led mv horse down the dftn path In-

I hadblindly stepped Into a trap, but justwhat kind I could not as yet deter-mine. 1 must win- the man's confi-dence, and learn .what I could.

If such a movo becamereally desirable.

Revolving these thoughts rapidly Inmy mind, I returned to the hut, care-fully bearing the bundle containingthe federal uniform tucked under myarm. The gaunt mountaineer, busily

I seated myself without ceremony."You are In hiding, then?" I asked

carelessly, riot even glancing up at theexpressionless face opposite.

BUILD INEXPENSIVE HOUSES FOR POULTRY V

An Open-Front Poultry House.

Made Him Ache All Over.The little cottage Is of that capacity

where there is always room for onemore. One night small Tommy had tobe awakened and hjs bed made readyfor a late and unexpected guest Whilethey- were trying to decide whether tofix his bed In-the morris .chair or onthe floor he fretfully wished theywould hurry up. "Why, Tommy," saidhis mother, "you don't want to be aselfish little boy, do you?" Strotchlngout and starting for ttie morris chair,he said: "Mother, I'm so unselfishnow I ache all orer."

A .good poultry house need not beexpensive. It can be made of roughboards of -any kind. If a floor is usedit should bo made of a double thick-ness of planks with a sheet of build-Ing paper between. The sides androof should be covered with heavytar paper, battened down over all thecracks, the essential thing being toprevent any drafts whatever.

The roosting closet should be sep-arate from the laying room andscratching shed. Hens should neverbe' fed in the roosting closet norshould the floor of the closet bo cov-ered with straw, as this gathersdampness. 'Many successful poultry-men do not use dropping boards atall but clean the floor every day,which is, all things considered, prefer-able. Of course, if the droppings areallowed to accumulate on the floorthe conditions will be as bad as ifallowed to accumulate on the drop-ping boards. Cleanliness is alwaysessential and whether the droppingboards are used or not the roostinghouse should be kept perfectly cleanand dry at all times.

By sprinkling a little dry earth orsand on the floor the droppings maybe removed in a few moments andthe floor can be kept clean with verylittle effort.

The laying" nests _should bo ar-ranged in an "apartment adjoining theroosting closet and here the birdsmay be fed. This laying and scratch-Ing shed should be entirely open tothe south, the front being coveredwith wire to prevent the intrusion ofrats and other rodents.

A bos of grit and a box of dry roaddust should always be kept in thescratching shed. No matter how care-ful one may be fowls cannot be keptentirely free from vermin withouthaving constant access to dry dust.It is their natural' way of protectingthemselves from vermin and if theyare confined without being allowed todust themselves they are sure to benifected.

Nesls should bo placed at least twofeet above the floor with a board soplaced on an incline that the henscan easily walk up to the nest insteadof being compelled to fly tit. Youngpullets heavy with egg are often in-jured by flying up to, and down fromnests placed too high.

Nests should be arranged '•withmovable bottoms so that the contentsmay be frequently removed and thenests kept perfectly clean. Tho nestshould not be less than 14 inchessquare in size, particularly for thelarger Dreedsof birds. .

A floor of this kind will resistdampness unless the hQuse is builtin a low or swampy place?where located the ground shouldthoroughly drained on all sides of thehouse on'the outside. Of course the 'ideal dry dirt iioor is made by firstlaying tiled drains at the depth ofabout six inches, 18 inches apart thoentire length of the house, extendingout on each side from six to eightfeet. This will absolutely preventdampness.

The open-front houses may beadapted to the small flock of the farmor to any number of birds by simplymultiplying-the units. This form ofpoultry house has been tried in allclimates and has proved- more satis-factory than any other1.

In., t i e extreme northern stateswhere the thermometer falls to manydegrees below zero it is well to pro-tect the birds at night by a thin musv.lin curtain attached to a roller whichmay be rolled up during the day andlet down at night but in moderateclimates this protection is not at allnecessary. A muslin curtain shouldbe of such texture that the air maypass through it, otherwise draftswill be caused and drafts are posi-tively tho most harmful conditionsthat can affect poultry.

The open-front curtained poultryhouse has been thoroughly tried at theexperiment stations of Maine, Minne-.sota, Montana and in other stateswhere the temperature falls to 20 de-grees or moro below zero, and withexcellent success.

Xn. those localities where there islittle snowfall but excessive moistureduring the winter months, the cur-tains should bo left off for in thesecases they are sure to hold dampnessin the house.

THREE GOOD POULTRY HINTS

Supply of Grit Is Essential—SelectWell-Shaped Eggs for Incubator-

Hatch ChicKens Early.

Unless the hens have access-to afree run on gravelly soil both oystershell and mica crystal grit should besupplied where the hens may havefree access to it. If a free range isavailable the oyster shell will be suffi-cient.

In selecting eggs to place in an in-cubator only average-sized, well-shapedeggs should be used as extremelylarge or small eggs or eggs that donot conform to normal shape will In-variably hatch a low percentage of lr-regular-Blzed chicks.

Early hatched chicks will makemore rapid growth than lato hatchedones. If one wisheB to sell breedingstock this is a decided advantageAlso if one wishes to maikSt part OLthe chick crop as broilers and roast-ers the market Is best for thosehatched early in the season.—Farm-er's Review.

CHAMPIONSHIP WON .BY BOSTON RED SOX

Hub Team Is Winner of theAmerican League Pennant.

Manager Bill Carrigan Land? His Ma-~~chlne~on ~Top"7After" Pretty" Fight~~

—Credit Also diven to StarOutfielders.

{By CHARLES H. CROWELL.)After as pretty a struggle as the

most enthusiastic baseball fan couldpossibly wish for, the Boston Red Soxfinally won the American league cham-pionship for 1915. Up to almost thelast £ame it was anybody's raco, butfew games separating the leader andtailender.

To Bill Carrigan belongs the credit.His earnest, aggressive and at timesquarrelBome methods were of vast im-portance in the long grind. The RedSox got away to a poor start owingto sickness and injury, and it was notuntil the season was well advancedthat the players got together, assumedthe lead and once out in front theyclung on tenaciously.

When Jake Stahl was deposed1 asmanager of the Red Sox the place wasgiven to Carrigan, and since-that dayBill has been making good in everysense o£ the word. Ho is an exactingleader. He finds out what a- playercan do and then insists on that mandoing his full duty. A sluggard hasno business on' that team. Carriganhas compelled his stars to work ashard as the recruits. He is a strictdisciplinarian and will brook no in-terference with his methods.

Kept Players on Toes.

a staff of pitchers as a manager coulddesire, an outfield that could not bebeaten, and a strong infield, Carrigankept his men on their toe§ all thetime. His college training gave hima finesse and to,some extent a diplo-macy" unexpected In one "of such ag-gressive methods. To begin with, JoeWood went wrong during last winter,and was slow In rounding to. Wag-ner, his star keystone sacker, was alsoincapacitated. Dutch Leonard, hisfirst string pitcher, got in bad withPresident Lannin, but Carrigan over-came all obstacles and finally landedhis team on top.

The Red Sox outfield, Speaker, Lew-is and Hooper, has worked together forsix years and they know how everyplayer who has been around the cir-cuit once hits, and where he hits.This trio is the best defensively in

i the lqaguen^peaker's -war club and| marvelous speed on the bases; Hoop-

er's well-known, trick of waiting out

an opposing pitcher and Lewis' steadyhitting, brings them to a point of ex-cellence seco%d to none. The Detroitoutfield, Cobb, Crawford and Veach,may equal them in many respects, butthey do not surpass them. Speaker,with his tremendous speed, can playa shorter field than any other center.Hooper and Lewis possess arms ofsteel and it behooves an opposing'player to «• watch his 'steps wheneverhe makes what looks like a sure sin-gle, or he may be thrown out at first.Many fielders may have as many~as-~sists at the end of the season as thistrio, but that is because most Amer-ican league baserunners know whenand where to stop. The individualand team play of these three haveb.een one of the most important fac-tors in keeping the Red Sox in thelead and eyentually capturing tho flag.

Pitchers Worked Well.Outside of the illness of V/ood'and

the Bulkiness of Leonard, ManagerCarrigan has no.t had to worry a greatdeal about his pitchers. "Babe"Ruth, George Foster and Ernest Shore,Vean Gregg and Mays, have all donemighty'well, not only in the box, butalso at bat. Ruth has a batting av-erage well above the .300 mark. JoeWood, the star of the string, is one ofthe rare individuals who does well ev-erywhere he attempts. He is a finefellow personally and is well iiked byhis companions on tho club.

The Red Sox, besides their strongoutfield and classy staff of pitchers,has an almost ideal infield. Hoblit-zel, Barry and Gardner,- are hard tobeat and many blossoming base hitshave been nipped in the bud by thisquartette. And then, in case of acci-dent Gainer, Janvrin and Wagner arealways on hand to-fill any gap.

Few interviewers have ever beenable to talk to Carrigan as to his suc-cess.' He is not bashful, but. his grvff,unfriendly manner makes him doubly

Starting the season with as c'rnssy- Jiard to thaw out. Because of this.faw characteristics "of his have cometo tho surface. Off the ball field hois unusually silent and thoughtful.

Carrigan has had an extra load tocarry, as he was promoted to the lead-ership- of tho Red Sox over his team-mates, and in some cases ho foundothers wero not so certain that Carri-gan was tho man for the Job. Ho hashad to contend with cliques, with less-er lights aspiring to his official headand with disgruntled players. But hisroughshod methods havo overriddenall obstacles, until now ho is recog-nized by players and "fans" alike asthe first man of the Red Sox.

Took Up Baseball.Ho was born In Lewiston, Me.,

thirty-threo years ago, of a family ofmodest means, and was selected fora clerical vpcatlon. It was impressedupon him that to succeed in this, lifehe must learn tho ways- of (thoworld. So "Bill" dutifully allowedhimself to be dragged dally to scnool.

And this school changed the vocationof "Bill's" after life, for it was therehe first became imbued with a lovefor baseball.

Carrigan early exhibited a skill Inthe popular sport and was selected ascatcher of the high school team In hisfirst year. He,played four years onthe Lewiston high school nine andthen acquiesced in the desire of his par-ents to attend Holy Cross- college.While at Holy Cross Carrigan made hisimpression on the big league scoutsand "especially those of the Red~Sox,who in 1906 prevailed upon Carrigan togive up all other thoughts of afterlife for the padded mitt, bat and ball.

He played his first professional ballIn the autumn of 1906 with the RedSox,- but, being inexperienced, wassent' to Toronto the following year.He was recalled by the Red Sox in1908 and was substitute catcher forthat year. In 1909 Lou Crlger, the vet-eran, was released and Carrigan be-came the regular catcher for the RedSox, playing that position in • theworld's series against the Giants in1912.

He now enjoys the happy distinc-tion of being the only playing mana-ger in the American league.
