message to the treesf

And the purple clovers climbing almosi to a fellows knees

And the great big oxeyed daisies ar-t ariodding over there

Where a birds songs sort o llf tinr driftin through the airLike a shallqp on a tinklinj

Perfumed streamFlowing through the air above me soft

and pleasant as a dreamAnd Im lying mongst the shadows

comfy as can bememory contrary brings a dif-

ferent scene to me-

r standing In a canyon with thev thilla on either side

spirits and unruly seems for

Theceare huge Titanic bowlders inmaddened torrents path

And the hills above reecho with theVjhuriders of its wrath

And the trees that lean above itV with spray that it has flung

Inthe madness of its fury when it twistturned and swung

With the fury of Its effort to escape itsbonds and flee

To the flowerspangled meadows whertire birds and blossoms be

passion of the torrent to escapeIts bonds and go

Where the world Is blossom borderedvlifes tide Is calm and slow

While the dweller In the lowlands by thsleepy tinkling rills

Longs forever for the battle of the torrents and the hills

lliang crag on crag above him tillseems life all alone

In a world some vast convulsion haaf ricaught up and overthrown

wanderlust that pricks us tilloUr spirits long to range

Like a woman searching searching hubbys pockets after change

GHAPTHER XIIINTHE TEET OF THE BRIGADEOnce more the BadgerHoosier bri-

gade was swinging awayFor the sixth time in less than

a year the men of the Black Hatsat the head of column had picked theirway over the stoneribbed pike sayingopprobious things of Virginia pathtoasters An impudent lot were thesefollows in the imitation Kossuths

snappy and precise indj ill steady on parade enduring onthe march and reasonably respectfultoward their officers who were theonly ones in the division to don andliabituallyi3veai tliefulldtaBB headgearof the regular service the rank andfile blessed with not a littlesoldier skepticism as to the value orstability of other commands in and outof the brigade and a calmly criticalattitude toward officers other thanthose of their selection They had not

well content with theiroriginal field and staff and for lack ofleaders of that rank had become some-

what split up at first Bull Run fight-ing sturdily all the same by compan-yor squad to the fag end and neverknowing they were whipped whenfinally herded oft the field Now

they had men at their headcolonel lieutenantcolonel and major

they positively swore andon whose skill and valor they wouldhave banked their last cent Yet withall their regard for these their

leaders it must be owned theBlack Hats gave them lots of troubleThey would guy the rest of the brigade

generally over the wholedivision only one other regiment ofwhich had asx yet laced the foe inbattle They had a curious defect of

outside officers happenedalong and were forever being com-

plained of as failing to render honorswhereat they Were heard on more thanone occasion unblushingly to declarethey sax hut didnt suppose the strang-ers could be officers They were preternatiirally keen sighted as sentriestoward men of other regiments running guard or smuggling contraband-of war and were correspondingly blindwhen the culprit was of their owncomplexion They were probably thebest drilled and positively the worsthated regiment in the whole division

and relished one distinction quiteas much as the they weremarching this third time on Manassas

the little West Pointer in saddleitheir head thanked God that at lastiefcad them where with work against

6oniinon foe there waspossibilityof keeping them out of mischief

Cehtreville had been passed Bull

Run and Bristoe reacheda point beyond their previous explorations Then back had they to go

a threatened raid on theirrailway communications and thatmatter settled again they were trudg-

ing through the wellrememberedwood roads when as a turn of theway brought their foremost company

in full view of the fine sweep ofto the west the gray

bearded colonel for the timethe brigade reined out to

later this same muchdiscussed and asyet littleknown Jackson was with suchfatal effect to pour his columns on theunion flank and rear

It was a moist afternoon The menin the marching column heavily burdened with bulging knapsack anddouble blanket and the long Springfieldover their burly shoulders whippedoff their hats and swept the coatsleeve over their dripping brows peering curiously at the old colonel sittingsturdily in saddle and watching theirarray A grim smile stole over hisgrizzled face as his own battalion camestriding forth in the wake of theScoffing Second Then the kindly

eyes clouded with something like displeasure at sight of a tall lanky civilian on a decrepit gray riding with thelieutenantcolonel commanding Hehad seen the man before many a milefrom the spot and more than a weekaway How came you here hoasked as the civilian ambled out of thecolumn and touched his worn hatbrim 1

Graybeard glanced half angrily overhis shoulder A few yards north ofthe road there was a barren little eminence on the crest of which there hadsuddenly appeared the division com-

mander with two of his staff Unslinging their fieldglasses they seemedfor a moment studying the westwardlowlands then came trotting swiftlytoward the column

Colonel there are scattered parties-of cavalry out there coming swift thisWhY north oftween that and Gainesville Theydont seem to be watching the columneither Sena one regiment out alongthe Gainesville road as far as Bethlehem church and let them throw outskirmishers Halt the rest of thebrigade here Good afternoon MrJennings he continued in civil acknowledgment of the Virginians salutation I thought you were homeby this time

General said he coming along-

side I want to say one thing suhand its young gentleman ofyour staff was so kind to Dr Chiltonthat it completely staggered the doctor to have him knocked down andcaptured lies bound to take thebest of cayuh of him till hes wellenough to take cayuh of

thenWell and then Mr Jenningsasked the general impatiently for hewas eager to get on ahead

You look out for turning up anyday If he aint exchanged Im bettin somethin else will happen

My understanding is that Dr Chilton has made himself personally responsible for Mr Bentons safekeepirig sd long as lies allowed to remainwith him

Not one shot hut two three in quicksuccession Somewhere ahead amongthe patches and thickets of scrub oakand pine the scatteringadvance guardhad suddenly met swift galloping adsin gray Then came the distantof half a dozen shots carbines andthe answering sputter of a ragged volley Well out to the front a buglesounded some lively call and spurringfull gallop from the rear the talladjutant went bending and twistingaway among the trees until out ofsight ahead and then his powerfulvoice came ringing back This way

Double quickEvidently Haskell had sighted some

of the quarry and closer at hand thanthose ahead along the roadway forthere came a crackle ofbark of the cavalry weapon the saucypop of a revolver somewhere amongthe thickets to the left of the columnthen a shrill burst of cheers from thedeploying blue coats on the westwardflank All of a sudden through thebushes tumbled a little squad of troopers in gray making heroic effort tocarry off a helpless comrade The general and his aides had spurred in withthe skirmishers and were just in timeto see two riderless horses tearingaway among the trees across an openglade while half a dozen daring de-

voted fellows in saddle were stoutly interposing between the forward rush ofthe excited Badgers and three of theirnumber surrounding and supporting atall officer who had been lifted sideways to the back of a plunging steedHalt Halt Dismount Sur

render rang the hoarse shouts ofthe dozen bluecoats dashing in pursuit Bang Bang came the defiantresponse of the few defenders BangBang bellowed a brace of Springfields-in reply Dont shoot Hold yourfire yelled the general Dontshoot Dont shoot echoed thestaff for the luckless cavalier reeling-in his seat went sliding into the armsof his loyal followers while the devilof a horse whirled round tuggingstraining at the reins and striving tobreak away Dismount Downwith you Off with you cried thepursuers officer and man as anotherterrified horse tore wildly neighingin chase of the forcmost It was adesperate effort on part of the graysTheir comrade troopers were too faroff to help them even could they drivethrough the stout skirmish line already far flung across the field beyondWith a last wave of his white handthe officer seemed ordering his de-

The adjutant was off his big rawboned bay in an instant and bendingover the fainting man unscrewed thecap of his flask and held it to the palelips beneath the sweeping mustache-A major hey he said as he noted

the brilliant braids of gold lace on thehandsome uniform frock What is amajor doing out here with only a squadof you boys

Is he wounded asked the chiefas he glanced at the two sileut

in gray One of them faced thecommander

Horse fell on himbroke his leg said he with a salutethat told unerringly of soldier

so too did the speakers poseInstinctively he was standing at

He knew the rank betrayed bythat yellow sash

Give this young gentleman a sipfrom your flask Haskell I fearhes Why my lad youre wound-ed Look to him some of you criedthe general for the boy had grownashen pale and was reeling whenstrong arms caught and lowered him

Sure general Hes shot throughthe breast said a bearded soldiertearing aside the troopers jacket anddisplaying a bloodwet shirt beneath

And wouldnt show it answeredthe general Thats the way withthem Send for a surgeon captainAnd then the general too was off hishorse and bending over the strickenlad Do you know hishome he asked of the palefaced

Virginian standing tremblinga bit with excitement beside him Thelad flushed looked distressed

but seemed to believe it hissoldier duty to give no informationwhatever to the enemy It was

who spoke his voice breakingharshly somehow on the silence of thesurrounding group as he elbowed

through the curious circle andcaught sight of the swooning boy
