IV.
Lambert’s nerves were tingling a
trifle and his thoughts were not the
most cheerful as h-r went away. That
he should find his company commander
a miser, a recluse, and something of
a mystery, had all been foreshadowed.
But that discipline should have been
abandoned in “G” company was quite
another thing. Farnham, the captain
proper, was an ofHcer who hod held
high command in the volunteers—too
high, indeed, to serve with equanimity
under the field officer now at the head of
the regiment, who had had no wav serv
ice whatever. Farnham was within a
few fUqjs of promotion to majority, ahd
therefore despised company duty. So
long as his company had been stationed
in the city, furnishing guards and or
derlies for the various officers then
quartered there, he remained with it,
and occasionally saw a portion of it
on Sunday morning. Then, after two
yearsof this demoralizing service, came
the months of detachment duty up in
the interior, and Farnham’s friends in
court were glad to get him out of such
a mire as that. Ever since June, there
fore, Close had been alone with the men
and they with him, and no one in au
thority had the faintest idea how things
were going. Inspectors yere also un
known in those days, and so long as re
ports and returns were regularly re
ceived at headquarters, and no com
plaints came in from the civil author
ities of negligence or indifference on
the part of their military backers, all
went smoothly. Now, there had not
been a few instances where civil and
military officials had clashed, but “Capt.
Close and his splendid company” had
teen the theme of more than one laud
atory report from the marshal on the
score of what he heard from his depu
ties. The general commanding, indeed,
had been much elated by high com
mendation from the highest power in
Washington, all due to services ren
dered in running flown Ku Klux and
breaking up moonshiners by Capt.
Close, of company G, —th infantry.
‘‘It’s just exactly what the old duffer’s
cut out for,” said the adjutant general
of the department; “but I’m sorry to
have to see young Lambert sent into
Mich exile.
lie could hardly have been sorrier
than Lambert was himself, as that
young officer went briskly up the des
olate road along the “branch.” He had
never seen-a landscape su dismal in all
his life. How on earth was he to em
ploy his time? No drills, no roll calls,
no duties except the sending forth of
detachments at the call of this fellow
Parmel.ee; no books except the few in
liis trunk; no companions except this
heavy, illiterate, money-grabbing lout
who did not know enough to offer him a
seat or a cup of coffee after his long
night ride; not a soul worth knowing
nearer than Quitman—and only the in
ebriate Potts there! Certainly Mr.
Newton Lambert felt at odds with fate
this sunny December afternoon. He
had tried to persuade himself that the
laughable stories about Close were
grossly exaggerated; but now that he
had met that officer the indications
were in favor of their entire truth.
It seems that Close had been on some
detached service in connection with the
freedmenV bureau, and had only joined
his regiment late in the autumn of the
memorable yellow fever year, when,
had he so desired, he could have re
mained away. His appearance at the
stricken garrison when the death rate
averaged 20 a day, when the post was
commanded by a lieutenant, and some
of the companies by corporals, every
body else being either dead, down or
convalescent—added to the halo which
hung about his hitherto Invisible head.
There was no question as to his con
summate-bravery. Grant himself had
stopped in the rear of his regiment and
asked his name after its dash on the
works at Donelson, and the unknown
private was decorated with sergeant’s
chevrons on the spot. Before he had
opportunity to learn much of his new
duties, “the Johnnies jumped the
picKei one mgnt ana stampeaea every
body but Close, who was given up for
lost until he came in two days later
full of buckshot and information. His
colonel acted on the latter while the
doctors were digging out the former,
and Clo30'got a commission as first lieu
tenant in a new regiment for his share
of the resultant benefits. One bloody
afternoon as they wern scrambling
back, unsuccessful, and under an awful
fire, from the works at Vicksburg, the
colonel was left writhing on the lead
swept glacis with no shelter but the
dead anil dying around him, and Close
headed the squad that rushed out and
fetched him in. Everybody at McPher
son's side could Bee that the rebs were
firing high, when once the daring sur
vivors of the six who started reached
their prostrate colonel, but the bul
lets sounded just as deadly to the four
who got back alive, and McPherson sent
for Close and wrung his hard brown
hand and looked admiringly into the
somber, impassive face with its deep
brown, almost dog-like eyes. Some of
the Thirteenth regulars were the next
to report on Close. And ihese fellows.
j being at Sherman’s headquarters, had
I influence. In the midst of so rough a
campaign, Close loo&ed but little worse
for wear than did his associates, and
when he brought in ten prisoners with
only two men at his back, turned them
over to the Thirteenth, and went in for
more before anybody could thank him,
“Uncle Billy” swore that man was one
of the right sort, and asked him what
he could do for him that very night.
And then—so the story ran—Close said
he guessed he’d like to be either a sut
ler or a quartermaster—he didn’t know
which—-and for once in his life the pop
ular general looked bewildered.
After Mission Ridge, where he got an
other bullet through him, and one that
would have killed an ox, they simply
had to put Close on quartermaster duty,
he wanted it so much and had done such
splendid fighting and so little talking
for it. That was the end of him until
near the end of the war. His train was
captured by a dash of Forrest’s cav
airy, and, though most of the guards
got away, Close went with his wagons.
Andersonville was then his abiding
place for a time, but in some way he
turned up again during the march to
the sea, which he made on muleback,
and when congress authorized the or
ganization of 16 regiments of infantry
as a part of the regular army in ’66 the
great generals at the head of military
affairs were reminded of Close. He
wrote from somewhere far out west,
saying modestly that they had told him
to let them know if they could ever be
of any use to him, and the time bad
come. He had concluded to continue
soldiering, and wanted to be a quarter
master. He was offered a first lieu
tenantcy in the infantry and accepted,
though the examining board shook their
heads over his ill-written papers; was
applied for by the colonel whose lifj
he had saved at Vicksburg, and who
was now on “bureau duty” in the south;
and on that work Close remained, de
spite some rumors of his unfitness,
until the fever cut its wide Bwath in
his regiment. The adjutant and quar
termaster were both down when Close
arrived and reported for duty. In his
calm, stolid, impassive way he proved
vastly useful. Indeed, at a time when
men were dying or deserting by scores,
when even sentry duty had to be aban
doned, and when government property
was being loaded up and carried away
and sold in the city, it is difficult to say
what losses might not have been sus
tained but for his tireless vigilance. II©
exposed himself fearlessly among the
dying. He said he had had a light at
tack of the fever at New Iberia earlier
in the season and couldn’t take it again.
At all events, he did not. He was prob
ably the only officer who remained
longer than a week at the stricken post
and escaped.
At last came the- welcome frost, Yel •
low Jack’s conqueror, followed by new
officers and recruits in plenty, and
Close’s occupation was gone. He had
helped to bury the adjutant, but the
quartermaster proved tough, and—to
Close’s keen disappointment, as the
boys began to say with returning
health, appetite, and cynicism—recov
ered from his desperate illness and re
sumed his duties. When December and
the new colonel came, drills and dress
uniforms were ordered, and Close got
leave of absence and tried to get back to
bureau duty, where they did not want
him. Then he appealed to Farnham.
and through him to Gen. Sherman.
His wounds made him stiff and sore: be
couldn’t drill or parade. It transpire I
that he had no full uniform, and his
first and only frock-coat had been let ou*
to the last shred and was still too tight
for him. Then some quee r yarns began
to be told. He was a quasi executor for
three officers who had died intestate
and who had little to bequeath any
how. He had nursed them in their last
illness, and such items of their property
as had not by medical orders been con
demned and burned he had for sale.
Under the regulations the major was the
proper custodian of the effects of de
ceased officers, but the major was him
self almost a victim and had been sent
north to recuperate after a long and
desperate struggle. On an occasion when
he simply had to appear in full uniform.
Close turned out in plumed felt hat,
saEffi, and epaulets which, when ques
tioned, he said were the late Capt.
Stone’s, and so was the coat. If nobody
could be found to buy them, he would,
but he did not mean to buy “such truck”
ijntil it was absolutely necessary.
Bespe-t for his fighting ability in the
field and hia fearless service during the
epidemic prevented any “crowding” of
the old fellow, though there was no lit
tle talk about the habits he was disclos
ing. The bachelors and “grass wid
owers” of the infantry and battery
started a mess, but Close declined to
join. He explained that he preferred
to board with a French creole family
a short distance away, as he “wished
to learn the language." They gave a
big dance Christmas week and taxed
every officer ten dollars. Close had
nursed Pierce through the fever, and
Pierce was treasurer of the fund. Close
was accounted for as “paid.” both for
! f'ie original ten and the subsequent as
I cessment of five dollars that was found
necessary, but it came out of Pierce’s
pocket, for Close, begged off one and
refused the other, and Pierce would not
fell until it was dragged out of him by
direct questioning1 months after. It
transpired that Close went only once a
day to the humble dwelling, four blocks
away, where he preferred to board. He
assiduously visited the kitchen of Com
pany “O’’ at breakfast and dinner time
to see thut those meals were properly
cooked and served, and there could be
no question that he personally “sam
pled” everything they luid. He wore
the clothing issued to the men, until
the colonel insisted on his appearing in
proper uniform, and then hod to rebuke
him for the condition of the paper col
lar .pod frayed black bow.that were at
tached to the neckband of his flannel
shirt. Tie wore the soldier shoe, and
swore that no other kind suited his foot.
He had to write letters occasionally, but
when he did so he repaired to the com
pany office or that of the post quarter
mast,ir, and not one cent did he spend
for stamps.
Indeed it became a subject of unoffi
cial investigation whether ha spent a
cent for anything. He bought nothing
at Finkbcin’s, the sutler's, where, in
deed, he was held in high disfavor, his
war record and fever service to tho
contrary notwithstanding. He never
touched a card, never played billiards,
and never invited anybody to drink,
even when his brother officers called
upon him in squads of two or three to
see if he would. That he had no preju
dice against the practice, then as uni
versal in the service ns it is now rare,
v.as apparent from the tact that he
never refused to take a drink when in
vited, yet never seemed even faintly
exhilarated. “You might as well pour
whisky in a knot-hole,” said the Bare
headed squad of youngsters that with
malice prepense had spent many hours
end dollars one night in the attempt to
get Old Close “loaded.”
He had to go to town occasionally on
board of survey or similar duty, and
always fought a scat in somebody's am
bulance to save the nickel for a six-mile
lide in the tram car. When he had to
take the ear he would wait for some of
the youngsters, well knowing they
would p.y his fore. Once when three of
them “put up a job on him” by the
declaration after they were well on
their way, that not. a man in the party
had less than a five-dollar bill, he of
fered to change the five, but refused to
lend a nickel unless they gave their
word, on honor, that they were not
striving to make a convenience of him.
But the “closest” figuring he had ever
lone was that whtch he carried out tor
several months at the expense of a cer
tain bank. Most of the officers on get
ting their pay check towards the end
sf the month would take it to the near
est bank or broker and get it cashed.
Those were easy-going days in the pay
lepartment. Many a time the impe
:unious subs would prevail on the major
}r his cleric to let them have their sti
OloM'bMdad the squad that ruabsd oatand
fetched him in.
pend a week before it became due, and
it would be spent before it was fully
earned. Close never spent a cent, that
anyone could see or hear of, but he
was on hand to draw it as early as
any of the rest. He would take his
check and vanish. The total footing
up of his pay, rations, servant’s allow
ance, “fogy,” and all, was one hundred
and some dollars and sixty-eight cents.
They used no coin smaller than the
“nickel” (five cents) in the south in
those days, and it was the practice of
the banks and money-changers gener
ally to give the customer the benefit
if the check called for more than half
the value of the nickel, otherwise to
hold it themselves. If the amount were
52 cents the customer got only 50; if
it were 53 cents he was paid 55. Those
officers who kept a bank account, and
there were three or four, perhaps, who
did so, simply deposited their clieck for
its face value and had done with it. It
was supposed that such was Close’s cus
tom ; but he was wiser in his generation,
as was learned later. Close took hi3
check to the paying teller and got 100
and some dollars and 70 cents. Then
he deposited this cash with the clerk
at the receiving window and was two
cents, ahead by the transection. When
it was finally discovered and he was
politely told that hereafter he would
be credited only with the sum called
for on the face of his check, Close got
it cashed elsewhere and deposited his
70 cents regularly as before. “But what
he does it for is a mystery,” said the
bank official who let this sizable cat out
of the bag, “for he never has more than
a few dollars on deposit more than a
week. He checks it out through some
concerns up north.”
No wonder the fellows wondered
what Close did with his money. A sol
dier servant made up his room and
blacked his boots; a company laundress
washed the very few items sent to her
each week, and declared that the cap
tain stopped the price of two pairs of
gloves out of her wages because she
wore the thumb off one of them scrub

went to theater, opera, or other diver
sion; never took part in any of the
gayetles of the garrison; never sub
scribed for a newspaper or magazine,
but was always on hand to get first look
at those service journals which were
intended for the post library. He
smoked an old block brier-root pipe,'
which he charged with commissary plug
tobncco, preferring it to all others. He
chewed tobacco—navy plug—and did
not care who knew it. He shaved him
self, and when his hair, needed trimming
it was done by the company barber.
He had no bills. He would be neither
borrower nor—well, there was some talk
about his lending money on unimpeach
able security and usurious interest, but
to those officers who applied, either in
jest or earnest, he said he never had a
cent to lend and wouldn’t lend it if he
had.
Then what on earth did Close do with
his money?
Much of this was told to Lambert in
New Orleans. More of it he learned
later. On this particular day he was
destined to have another peep into the
peculiarities of this most unusual char
acter.
He had walked perhaps half a mile,
revolving these matters in his mind
and keeping occasional lookout for Par
melee’s (which was evidently further
away than he had been led to suppose),
when he heard some one shouting after
him. It was a soldier, running hard,
and in a moment Lambert recognized in
him the affable corporal who was the
first to receive him that morning. This
time the corporal saluted as he came,
panting, to a halt. Possibly Sergt.
Burns had been giving the company a
“pointer.”
“Did anybody pass you, lieutenant?—
anybody on horseback?”
“No,” answered Lambert, wondering
what now might be coming.
“Well, cap says—er rather—the cap
tain wants you to come back. Didn’t
nobody go along here a-horseback ?”
And the corporal was evidently per
plexed as well as nearly breathless.
“By gad, I thought 'twas talcin' chances,
even for the two of us. Two of ’em rode
in an’ sassed cap right to his face an’
were off before a man of us could draw
bead on ’em.”
“Who are they?”
“Some of the very crowd Parmelee
nabbed last night. They must have cut
across at the ford. They’ve finished
him, I reckon, for one of ’em was ridin'
his horse.”
In ten minutes Lambert was back at
camp, where all was bustle and sup
pressed excitement. Close was seated
at his tent, smoking imperturbably, and
listening to the tremulous words of a
tall, sallow civilian who was leaning
against the shoulder of a panting mule.
McBride, rifle in t^and and equipped for
field service, was closely inspecting the
kit and cartridge boxes of a squad of a
dozen men alrendy formed.
“Lieutenant,” said Close, “I’ve got to
send you with a detachment over to the
county jail. How soon can you get
ready?”
jjamueri ieit a sudden odd, choky sen*
sation at the throat, and was conscious
♦•hat his knees were tremulous. It was
his first, call, mind you, and it was sud
den and vague. The symptoms made
him furious.
“I’m ready now,” he said, reaching for
bis handsome sash and belt, and disap
pearing an instant within his tentdoor.
“Ain’t you got some ord-nery things?
You don’t want to wear such trappin's
as them. I’ve got a sash an’ belt an’
sword here plenty good enough; and
you can have ’em for half what they
cost.”
“I prefer using these, captain," said
L ambert.
“Why, you may not get back in a
week,” persisted Close. “There’s no
tellin’ where those fellows have run to.
You ought to have some suitable clothes
for this sort o’ work—like mine."
“I’ve got something different, but I
thought we were needed at once.”
“So you be, cordin' to what this gen
tleman says. It looks like they must
have stirred up quite a row; but you
needn’t worry. There’ll be no trouble
once they see the regulars, and if there
should be, you’ve got me an’ the hull
company to draw on.” And Close’s
face fairly brightened up for the min
ute. “There’s your squad ready.
I’arm’lee’ll tell you what he wants done.
Reck’lect, if there’s any trouble you
ilraw on me.”
“I shall need some money, I*m afraid,
i f we’re gone any time. That’s the first
thing I’ll have to draw for.”
Close’s countenance fell. “Ten dol
lars ought to be 'null for you anywhere
here. I could get along with fifty
-■ents,” said he, slowly. Suddenly he
brightened up again
