"Over there, nnd ucnrn little cabin not ton miles from here, I saw a most remnrkiiblu hot fired, under circumstances tho most thiillltiK of my life, nnd a I havo been out here hunting nml In wnr for thirty yenn you must coiifesd, my frlomlH, thut my ox perlcnca In that way Is very I a rue.

Your own experience has hIiowii you tlmt It U necessary for every man, civilian ns well tu soldier, to curry arms in this region not necessarily for use, as the newspapers say, but for tho confidence one has In traveling wheu he knows they nro bandy. "Manuel Caberu that is the Mexican's name was working for a grub stake, pro vlded by myself And General Carson, ho one niornttig I filled my saddlebags with uppllcs at the Garland sutler stores And rode up the trail to learn how the man was getting on. "He was the most industrious Mexican I have ever seen along the Rio Grande, itnd so I was not surprised to find him hard at work. I staked my horse In a patch of rich grass near the diggings, ami tit noon Manuel shouldered his title and the heavy naddlelMtgs and said I must come down to tho cabin and tako some dinner, nnd see Nlta nnd the babies. Nlta, thu wife, was it pretty, dark eyed, nffoctloiiato creature, under twenty-live. "With a Colt in my belt you see I carry It as I do my lint or boots, for I regard it as the most essential Article of dress nml say Henry rlllo on my shoulder, I started down the trail after Manuel. "We could ieo the smoke that marked the cabin's site rising in a straight blue pillar n fow hundred yards nwiiy. wheu suddenly the man came to n stop, turned to me with an ashy face and exclaimed: "Msdredo Dlos, senorl 1 leont' "It did not need the pointed hand to tell gee the cause of his alarm.

"We went on fifty yards more, quicker this time, and a cry that froxo my blood assured me that the Hot had been discov ered by the little ones. "Now we ran, I whispering the Mexican to keep cool, whllu I was entirely aware that I was the more demoralized of the two. Auother fifty yards brought us with in sight of the cabin, not a half rlllo shot away, and this Is what we saw." Colonel Ffelffer knocked the ashes front bis pipe, and though anything but a nerv ous muu, he rose to his feet, excited by tha memories of the thrilling incident be was describing, and pointing down the moun tain as if tho scene were again being unact ed before his eyes, he continued: "Nlta bad been preparing dinner At it fire built about twenty feet in front of the cabin, aud the pretty black eyed toddlers, looking like bronze oupids In their light attire, had been playing about her, but ow they clung to her nnd buried their frightened faces in her skirt, while she looked speechlessly at the lion. "The lion, no doubt excited by the crlui of the children, had bounded forward aud now occupied n position about fifty feet, perhaps less, from the little group, but the mother and children were directly between us and the monster. "I could see the flery glare of his eyes aad the lashing of his tall as he crouched forward to spring. "'Dou't lose heart, nay Nlta! Courage; I am near)' called out Manuel, as we made n quick detour to net within reach of the lion without endangering the mother and her little ones. "It that monster had been aware of our purpose he could not have frustrated ui more successfully. On thu inner circle 1m W I placed himself voluntarily beyond the hope of redress.

"Thank you, mit'nm," snld the soldier, as ho smncked his lips In anticipation of a hearty meal; "'tnln't tho number of tho tnblu I earn so much for its the amount of tho grub." Tho lndy went away, nnd tho soldier took a position near thu dining room door, whuru ha could watch thu movements of tho servants nnd regnle his expanding nos trils on tho odor of tho dishes carried punt At length tho bell rang, nnd unable te resist thu temptation, or It may have been In obedience to tho profound modesty that Is uver so characteriHtla of tho old soldier, thu man inndu n break for tho commissary aud took n seat near tha head of tho table. General Magritdor sat down near tho mnn nml scowied nt him, but this had no mora effect than water on it duck's back.

When tho last course enmc, nnd whllo tho unexpected guest was quietly letting out his belt two mora holes, tho general turned to him with. a scowl, aud asked! "Sir, havo you nny ideit with whom you are dlnlngr" Without looking up or ceasing in the work of adjusting his belt to meet tho do tunnds of thu dessert, thu soldier drawled outs "Wn-nl, no.

Magrudcr had tho good Hen so to Join in tho laughter that greeted this sally. Ilragg's Command. General llrngg was onu of tho most rigid disciplinarians In cither nrmy during what some ono has euphoniously called "tho re cent unpleasantness." When tho Confederates retreated from Murfrecsboro nfter tho battle of Stone Itlvur, the private soldiers were somowhnt demoralized, but not so much so as to lose sight of nny little chance to add to the comfort of a inarch that would have been trying under nny circumstances. Ono of these soldiers, a ragged Texan nnmed Urldger, found nn old mule In the woods, nnd extemporizing n halter he mounted the creature nnd went on with thu lino, envied by his less fortunato com rades. With his long hair, long legs, corncob pipe nnd air of perfect content tho Texan was n picture that mado the weariest and the hungriest laugh. Whllu thus working his passago with thu loom) end of the halter, it company of bestarred nnd bespnngled horsemen Gen eral lirngg nnd his staff rodo up nnd were About to pass on, when the unusual np penranco of tho Texnn on the inulo nt trnctcd their notice. lie, however, did not seem to seu or heed them, but smoked on nnd whacked the mule with an nir of care less Indifference. With his bushy brows lowering over his fierce, black eyes, General Bragg looked nt tho mnn and demanded: "Who nro you, slrf ' Without looking at his questioner, the man freed his mouth from a cloud of moke, kicked the mule And replied: "Nobody." "Where did you como fromr" was the next question. "Nowuore." "Where nre you goingf" "Don't know, do your" "Where do you bclongr" "Don't belong nowhere." "Are you auref" "Sartin." "Don't you belong to Brogg's army?" . "Bragg'a armyl Bragg's army 1" grunted Texan. " W'y, Bragg ain't got no nrmy! Jne-half of It he shot In Kalntuck jest for foragin, and tho other half's jest been whipped to death nt Murfrecsboro." General Bragg asked no more questions, but turned and spurred away. A Modest Request. We called htm "Handsome Dick," but It would be it great error to infer from this that Lieutenant Fletcher was not ns brave a fellow its uver drew n sword. He was quick wlttcd, nnd his admiration for a pretty woman knuw no limit. Jn the assault on the Crater before Peters burg, Fletcher, who was one of the first men inside the enemy's works, was desper ately wounded nnd carried back. The doctors expected him to die within twenty-four hours, but as bo stubbornly persisted In living he was shipped to City Point, and from thence forwarded to a hospital in West Philadelphia. This hospital was dally visited by num bers of sweet faced, pious Quaker girls, and that their presence did the men good there can be no doubt. Onu day it beautiful girl, dressed in sober gray and looking like nu angel here on it brief visit, was distributing flowers to the wounded men, when, ns sho nenred Fletch er's cot, she heard him cry out linpativntly: "O tard! this Is hluukcd hard!" Hurrying to his side, to give him flowers nnd gently to rebuke his profanity, slit said: "I think I heard thee call upon theunme of the lord. I nm one of his daughters. Is there anything I can nk him for theer" Onu glaucuatthulnvuly face and Fletcher replied on the Instant: "Yes; please nsk him to iniiko me hl son-in-law." Ai.niKn It. Calhoun.
