"I might as well tell you the end of this

"Well, the chaps what had come out iu

affered, nnd at the end of a couple of weeks
tke skipper and the lawyer chap owned the

arter noon, the moon changed, aad tke wind
shifted from west ta nor'west ta aeVior

"Well, about alx bells la tka arteraeea
watch we made a brig away towtadward
with the British ensign lyia, half mast
and union down. Tke old man ware very
nrovoked. vou mav be sure, list aawe had
cot this fair wlud to have to stop, bat there
weren't no help for It, nnd all hands waa
ealled and the atunsalls took In and the
royals and flyln Jib furled, and we braced
up sharp on a wind for to beat up to him.
" 'Now,' says the aid man to tha mate,
It's more than likely she is but of provi
sions, aad wo mustn't lose a minute more
than we can help of this fair wind. Bo git
up some bread and beef and pork and have
some water In handy casks ready to go In
tke boat. Ult both of our boats cleared
away, so as to supply her at once, or If they
want to be took off we can transfer 'em
without delay.' Well, we washes out a
eouple of beef barrels clean nnd fills 'em up
with fresh water. We gits up a couple of
barrels of beef and a couple of pork and
about half a dosen barrels of bread, and we
alear awny both quarter boats aad neleoU a
arew for both of 'em. Taea we aiews up
the to'gaiian' sails and hove about on the
port tack anu let ber lay wnn tbemainiop

"The brig all thla while had been runnln'
down afore the wind, and soon came dowa
across our atarn,.Hnd the old man baltedi

"There was almut a second's pause, and
then come thn reply, "What is your longi

General Robert E. Lee, tn Confederate
commander In the civil war, was nlmost
Idolised by his soldiers. A curious inci
dent illuetratlng both the love of the men
and, Lee's courtesy toward them Is related
by a Confederate veteran.
Not long after tke surrender, when ru
mors were abroad that le waa likely to be
executed for treason, the general was liv
ing at kla kome In Richmond, One day a
Confederate soldier In the ragged remnants
of a butternut uniform came up to General
Lee as ke sat on the veranda of kla house
and saluted very respect fully, The general
saluted la return and naked tke man wkat
ke wanted.
"General," said he, "there's M more of us
fellows round the corner."
"Indeed! Why don't they come u; to the
bouse f"
"Too ragged, general. They're raggeder'n
me. Now, I'll tell you wbnt we're after,
general. We bear you're to be tried for
treawin. Now, we've got a mountain hol
low 'way up there, where uobody can't get.
There's a right smart of good land In it,
and if you'll come along we'll work tke
land for you and take good eare of you, and
you shan't never suffer wantl"
Lee was much affected. He called the
test of the ragged veterans Into tke house,
and while he told them that it would not
be proper for him to hide In the mountains
or to seek to escape In any way from what
ever might befall him be was very grateful
to them for their offer.
Tkey went sadly back to their mouataiu
hollow, but soon afterward understood
that they were free to take up the ordinary
employments of life among their fellows
aad that none were to die or lose tkelr lib
erty for their part la the war. Youth's
