Night at last anti the stir and tumult \ of
11 great fight over Even I the excitement that
had swept this portion of the battlefleIt-offlY
. 11 smal lectlcn of a vaster arc : of Miuggle-
1 Into which ! 1 brlgallo had marched , held Its
own , been beaten back , recovered Its ground
and , pursuing , had passell out of I forovpr ,
: leaving only Its llead ' be111ml ) , nml knowIng
nothing more of that struggle than Its own
Impact and momentum-even this wild excite-
ment had long since evaporated with the
stngIng smcke of gunpowder the acrid smell
of burning rags from the clothing of n dead
loller fired hy a burltug shell , or the heatell
rock of weal and leather A cool breath
that seemed to bring hack once more the
odor of the upturned eorthworlt3 oleng the
now dumb line of battle , began to move from
. the suggestive darkness beyond
But Into that awful penetrala of death and
silence there was now no Invaslou-thero lied :
been no retreat. A few of the wounded hall
been brought out under fire , but the others
had been left with the .leall . for the morning
light and succor I.'or It was known that In I , .
that horrible ob5cnrlty riderless horses , fran-
tic with the smell of blood , galloped wildly
here and there , or , maddene.1 . hy wounds ,
plunged furiously at the Intruder ? , that the
wOUlletl soldier , still armed , could not always -
ways distinguish friend from foe or from the
ghouls of camp followers who strlppell the
. dead In the .lartesH ] and struggll with the
dying. A shot or Iwo heard somewhere In
- . that ohseurlty counted ns nothing with the
, . long fuslalo , that had swept It In the Ihy-
time ; the passing 01 a single life , more or
less , amounted 10 Ito In the long roil cal
of the day's ( slauhter.
But with the first hlals of the morln
Bun-and the slowly moving "relief detail"
: from the camll-came a weird hal resurrec-
ton 01 that ghastly field 'Chen It was that
the hang rays 01 sunlight , streaming many a
. ' anile beyond the battle line , IlrH pointed
, out the han'est of the dend where the reserves -
serves had been IloHte , ! There they lay In

. , sun lifted higher its beams fell within the
r , range of musketry ] fire where the llead lay
thicker , even as they hall fallen when killed
outright , with arms extended , and feet at
' all angles ] t the dclii . As It touched
. these dead upturned faces , strangely
: : enough It brought out no expres-
: : ' ' ion of pain nor anguish , but rather as
, . t death had arrested them only with sur-
: , ' prlse all awe I revealed on the lips ef
. those who had been 10rtly wounded , and

, death hind brought their suffering , sometmes
even with a sml . Mounting higher , I
glanced upon the actual bale hue , curIously
curving for the shelter of wals , fences , anti
brcastworlcs-antl here the deal lay , even
, as when they had lin and fired , their faces
I . prone In the grass , but their muskets still
: . ' resting across the hrenstworts. ] Exposed to
. grape and canister from the battery en the
: ridge , death had como to them mercifully
also-through the heal , and throat And now
4 ; ' , - the whole field lay hare In the sunlight- ]
broken with grotesque shadows cast from

: rigid , Igurls , that might have been elgles ef

, barrier the way that they should go ,
' : hut It was not until the sun had mounted
. lrgher that It struck the central horror of the
\ - . field and seemed to linger there In dazzling
: I perslstenco , now and then returning to It In
' , startling flashes , that It might bo seen of
men and those who brought succor. A tiny

, c- : of that precious fluid which assuaged the
, " . thIrst of their wounds-or happily put them
' ; out of their misery forever : here , overborne ,
'f 1 . crushed , suffocated by numbers , pouring their
" ' ; own blood Into the flood and tumbling after
J i. I with their helpless bodies , they dammed
'I . the stream , until , recoiling , red and angry ,
-

( . t cotton field In n brave pool that now sparkled
. In the sunlight . But below this human 'dam
, -a utile away-where the brook still crept
th : ' sluggishly , the ambulance horses sniffed and
. started from It.
"
, ' , f" The detail moved \ on slowly , doIng their
work oxpellllHsly and apparently cnllsly ,
t but really only with that mechanical move- ,
mont that saves emotion . Only once were

Brigadier General Clarence Brant re-
mnlned for a momenl wih his head bent In

Luckily , however , the exposure of the chief
offender and the timely discovery of his pa-
prs enabled the divIsion commander to keep
the affair discreetly silent , and to enjoin equal
secrecy , on the part oC Brant. The later ,
however , did not relax his vigilance , and after

the stringency of picket anti sentry regula-

mingled Impress of barbaric prodigality with
patriarchal simplicity was still there In the
domestla arrangements of 1 race who lived
on equal terms wih strangers and their own
ser\anls.
Time negro servants still remained with a
certain cat-hike ] fidelity to time pace : and
adallted themselves to the norlhern Invaders
with a ehld-llt enjoyment of the novelty
of the chane. Brant , nocrtheless , looked ]
them over with an experienced eye , and sat-

In this souther mansion to the old casa , at

burled his past.
lie was sitting one afternoon alone ] before
hIs reports and dispatches when this influence .

He was recalling , his last days at RabIes , the
)
early morln ! duel with Pinckney , the re-
turn to San Francisco , and the sudden reso-
] ulon which sent him that day across the
continent to offer his services to the govern-
meat He remembered his delay In the

was being recruited , hIs entrance Into It as
a prIvate , his railid selel ton , through time
force of his sheer Jevolon and intelligent
concentration , to time captaincy of his com
pany , his swift promotion on hard.lought
fields to time head of the regIment , and the
singular success that hall followed his re-
sistess energy , which left ] him no time to

Intrusion of his wo upon his career , even
In this accidental and perhaps Innocent way ,
had serously ] unsettled him

"Seo who that woman Is who just passed ,

a singularly erect carrIage.

"Havo you ally order to give concernIng

"No " said Brant after '
, sall a moment's pause ,
all turned away.
The officer enmiled . I seemed a good story
to tel at mes of this human weakness of his
handsome , reserved , and ascetic-ioking leader I ,

mysterloua occupatc of arranging hEr

seemed to regard their occasional proximiy

At a signal from time guard room two SapIJers
