In his belt was his revolver, beside him 'a shotgun. His body, clad in "butter- nut," lay on an incline, his feet in the water, which flowed lazily past. The sun. shining through budding branches, lighted up his face, and I knew that I had seen him before, Indeed, a vivid -scene in which be had borne a part came up out of the past to fling over mea cloud of gloom like the wing of an •Apollyon, I drew an involuntary sigh. It was not that I had taken a life (lives were •cheap enough in those days, and he bad sought to take mine); It was not nay narrow escape from death, but an over- powering consciousness that the spirit •of war lurked everywhere; that the beautiful face of Nature about me— trees, fences, bushes, everything—best served to cover assassins. "Is he dead?" Startled at the sound of a voice, I glanced aside. There, leaning against the fence. her arms resting on the top rail. gazing at the disagreeable sight on which 1 had been intent, stood a young girl. "Where did you come from?" I asked, 'lifting my hat with my left hand. "There." She turned her head and glanced at a house on the other side of the road. "You must have stepped lightly. I •flidn't hear you corning." Without reply she continued gazing n.t the body of the bushwhacker. I, too, looked again at the upturned face, with Its glassy. starin ,• eyes. , "Why did you kill him?" "I will tell you."

I must have fainted, for sud- denly, without being conscious of their coming, I found myself in the midst of an (melted throng. An old lady stood beside me with a basin, from which she was sprinkling my face. A white haired old gentleman with pink cheeks, a towel in one hand, a decanter in the other was bending over me. A boy tell no tales. I was thankful for that, for he had bnown me Well, The thought of him took me back to that night of horrors. I was again at the head of those Tennessee Unionists en. dimming to lead them to a haven of safety. We were near the Cumberland gap. One more day and we should be at Camp Dick Robinson, where we should find Federal troops. Then the attack. By the flashing of guns I could see their faces, and here and there recognize a neighbor—mea beside whom I had lived for years, and whom civil war had converted into fiends. One by one 1 saw my friends shot down. There was one dearer to me than all. besides. Through the dark- ness, guided by the dashes and the sound of my voice, she darted to me, and found refuge in my arms. Then that sudden dash of Confeder- ate cavalry. I felt the figure I held quiver and slip through my arms. I moaned and kissed the white lips; then, like lightning, the wild beast jumped within me. I looked up to see who had. done this last, this crowning atrocity. A Confederate ofl)cer sat on his horse staring at me, in his hand a smoking pistol. A sudden collapse, and 1 knew that I was bit. This is all 1 remem- bered of the massacre. How I gloated in my revenge! The homes of men who had committed those murders were burning, and 1 had . applied the torch. Their barns, grain— everytliipg theypossessed—passed a way in black spark spangled clouds, which shot upward as if to carry vengeance to the very heavens. These men had made my life a waste; I had made theirs a hell. There was one I had not yet pun- ished, one whose punishment I longed for more than all the rest—the Confed- erate officer with the smoking pistol. I sought for him without success.

"You'll go part way as a corpse if you do." The old lady declared that I should not stir out of the house till the doctor gave the word, the old gentleman bade rue welcome as long as I needed to stay, the young lady who bad brought me there said nothing, while the boy look- ed as if to lose a subject so fruitful of interest would break bis heart. "I'll send a young associate of mine," said the doctor. "If the wound opens, you must have attention at once." • "Thank you, doctor. There seems to be a great deal of commotion about a very small matter. I don't care to put so many people to so much trouble." No one paid any attention to my pro- test, all busying themselves to make the comfortable.

Or had the bushwbacker met ane by chance? I slid not know. I do not know now. Of one thing 1 was certain—he was one of my old enemies, and they would hunt me like a hare. I lay for hours unwillingly turning over these war horrors as if they were a wheel on which I was obliged to tread. No one came into the room, and I called no one. Doubtless they wished me to be quiet. I was weak and tired— tired in mind, tired in body, tired of existence. If I could only find him, the world might vanish for all me. I fell into a troubled slumber, and when I awoke I saw standing in the doorway a girl of S or 0 years—a frail, blue eyed little thing, with her hair cut square about her neck and held by a semicircular comb. She was gazing at me intently, as children in fairy tales stand on tiptoe and look at the sleeping ogre who is intending to eat them for supper. "Come in," I said encouragingly. She shrank back. But, though she seemed to dread rue, she could not keep away from me. Without for a moment taking her eyes off me she began to ap- o e ng proach by stow, very slow, steps.

Perhaps it was the genial warmth, the balmy air; perhaps an absence of war scenes with which I bad long been familiar; perhaps both. At any rate, I watched the sun glisten on the dewdrops, felt its rays warm my shoulders, and listened to the singing of the birds with a consciousness that, after all, sometimes it is pleasant to Iive.

It may bave been something In the restfulness, the security I had reit, in- congruous with pestilent war; just as amid the luxurious foliage of the trop- ics one feels that behind every Leaf and flower lurks invisible fever.

A doctor must needs be at all times within reach. a stripling of a medical graduate must sleep in the same room with me, the old gentleman was constantly coming into the room to ask if I wanted anything. while his wife was as tender and motherly as if I had been her own son.
