CHAPTER XXL
A MILITARY PROBLEM.
The events attending the capture and
escape of Caroline Fits Hngh and the
dismissal of Colonel Maynard from the
aerrioe all happened in each quick suc
cession that Jakey Slack was not aware
of what was taking place until after it
vm all over. It must be confessed that
Maynard had not treated his most de
moted adherent with the consideration
he merited. Bnt it is the way of people
who are rising to eminence to gradual
ly leave off familiarity with those for
merly most intimate with them.
Maynard had treated Jakey with
mock deference, bnt had not thought of
loaning upon him for advice or strength,
much less comfort, and daring the rag
ing of the fire through whioh he had
passed Jakey Slack had been as far from
bis mind as if he had not existed.
One evening as "retreat" was sound,
ing it was the evening of the colonel's
deposition from his rank and command
Jakey walked into his tent May
nard's head was bowed down on his
camp cot. Hearing some one enter, he
looked np and saw his old friend. Had
Jakey been another boy, when he saw
the haggard look, the strongly marked
lines of suffering in the face before him,
he would have shown some mark of the
effect suoh a sight had upon him. Not
so Jakey. There was no expression ei
ther of surprise or grief upon bis unex
prcssive conntenanoa Bnt the sight of
jakey standing there to remind him
that, though a whole army condemned
biui, there was one in it who never
could be brought to think him guilty of
any crime had a different effect on the
late commander. He reached out his
hand, took that of Jakey, and, drawing
the boy toward him, foldod him in his
arms. Thus do those who have been de
prived of their greatness go back for
sympathy to those from whom they have
farthest departed.
just where we are located. 1 was up
there myself the other day with a rec
onnoitering party and came upon one of
bis scouts, looking at us very much as
one would survey a barnyard of fat
turkeys before Christmas."
He paused and seemed lost in some
attendant problem. Presently be added
"All I'd be afraid of would be de
lay." "What d'y'mean bythet?" asked Ja-
i key.
Maynard starteo. "I was inin-ung
that I was on the other side," he said.
"You see, Jakey, in a military point of
lew the beauty of the situation is all
With the Confederates."
"How?"
"They can cut us np in detail."
"Wha'd y'do ef y' worhimnns?"
"I? I'd jrive a wedge right in here
between Thomas' and Crittenden's

the other. After that I'd eat my rations ; Maynard.
I Jukey was puzzled. He made a des
perato effort to conjure np a reply.
1 "Waal, " he said presently, "I reckon
I'd jest wait fo you una ter do some
p'n." "Yonr ground would be strong enough
in itself, but weak on the flanks, espe
cially yonr left, and in case of retreat
' yon would have the creek to cross in
face of an enemy, a hazardous unfier-
j taking. I would turn your left and get
possesion of the roads to Chattanooga.
j Perhaps I could defeat you and force
you to recross the creek. While yon
were doing so I would knock yon to
pieces If yon succeeded in crossing,
you would find my troops in your rear
j between you and Chattanooga. "
I Jakey neither understood nor even
heard a word his opponent said, but he
looked as seriously studious over the
' problem as if he were the general com
manding. I "Are yon whipped, general?" asked
and have plenty of time to take care of
MoCook's, which is too far away even
to hear the guns."
"Thot'ud be hunky," said Jakey,
pretending to catch bis friend's enthu
siasm. "Pity 'twasn't t'other way 'n
we had 'em as they got we una. Mebbe
ef yon una wor in command of our ar
my y' moughtdo somep'n fo' ter change
th' siteration."
"I?"
"Yes, what'd y do?"
"That's a posor, Jakey."
Maynard studied bia improvised map
for awhile without speaking, as if it
were a chessboard. At last be said:
"Genoral Rosecrans, I learn,' has or
dered his scattered columns concentrat
ed at Crawfish Springs, the center of
bis line. Perhaps this is as good a plan
as any, at least if Bragg gives him time
enough to close np. To me two plans
seem to be open. One is to demonstrate
along the Chiokamauga, principally
with cavalry, while"
"What's demonstrate?'' interrupted
the listener.
"Make a feint, afnss; pretend to have
a big force and only have a little one.
I would leave the campfires burning at
night, to make them think I was still
there, and draw my army away to Mis
sion ridge. Moving backward on con
verging lines"
"What's them?"
"Lines coming to a focus"
"What's a focus?"
"Confound it, Jakey, we'll be attaok
Maynard held the boy against his , ed and whipped before I can make you
breast while he gave way to convulsive
sobs suoh as are unusual in a man and
only come when some mental struggle
under an intense grief is relaxed and
suffering permitted to get control Nei
ther spoke. Jakey's presenoe reminded
Maynard the more keenly of those he
loved. His mind had been upon his wife
and child. Jakey's ooming brought also
Souri's image and the trials and tri
umphs whioh he and Jakey and Souri
had once passed together, and trials
and triumphs borne in company weld
hearts. Of all who loved him only Ja
key was there, and on him alone could
he roly for comfort
At last Jakey withdrew himself from
hia friend's embrace. He had permitted
him to indulge his grief for a few min
utes, and ibis he considered quite long
enough.
"General, " he began. He had always
understand. These roads you see come
together at Chattanooga. From Chatta
nooga, if neoessary, the army could be
crossed"
"I thought we uns was a-follerin
them uns!" observed Jakey, surprised
at the turn the campaign had taken.
"Jakey, did you ever hear of the man
who held his adversary down by placing
his nose between that adversary's
teeth?"
"No."
"Well, that's the way we're holding
our enomy, but your remark leads to
the other side of the problem. Desper
ate diseases require desperate remedies.
If I were a general, I'd never be on the
defensive if I could help it, cost what
it might It sets a man to wondering
what his enemy is going to do, instead
of doing something himself. . Now, our
southernmost column might be pushed

that he was a general
manded a brigade.
"No more of that, Jakey. I am only
Maynard now Mark Maynard. , Mark
is a good enough name for me. "
"Waal, that don't make no differ.
You uns got th' same body 'n arms
legs 'n all thet
tln'nn fn' tnt. An.")"
"What's that, Jakey?"
"Tell Mrs. Maynard."
"Jakey, I can't."
"Reckon she'll hev ter know it some
time."
"There's going to be a battle. No
court can keep me from shouldering a !
since he com- line denoting the Georgia Central rail
road "to out the Confederates' avenue
for supplies. Bragg might turn and
crush it, but he can do that now. The
trouble is, Jakey, we need troops for

Hev y' done th' fust down there could strike, retreat, strike
at another point, and so confuse an ene
my that he wouldn't know what was to
happen next."
Jakey was too young to understand
the phases of the war problem in which
Maynard's mind had become engrossed
to the obliteration of his trial, disgrace,
wife, child, 'friends, comrades, every-
Waal, mebbe ef I air whipped I
don't know nothin 'bout it, 'n I'll jest
go on fightin till I make you uns think
thet you uns air whipped. "
"Like Grant at Pittsburg Landing. "
The reference was lost on Jakey, but
it led him to think that he had made a
point Ho looked very wise and said
nothing. He was thinking on a line
which ho feared might be of some prac
tical importance to his individual self.
He was not certain but that it would be
necessary for him to make the connect
ing link in person between his friend
and bis friend's wife. So he turned the
conversation on lines ht retreat
"Now, supposin," be said, "just sup
posin I war busted right hyar, how'd
I git away?" '
"That would depend on the condition
of thinga If I were the general oppos
ing you, you'd never get away safely,
I'd never stop till I had driven you into
the Tennessee river. '
"How could I get thar from hyar?"
"This part of your army where we
are now could only fall back on Ross
ville. There the flanks would be better
protected for a stand. You could go
from Rossville to Chattanooga by this
road" (pointing to it on the map). "If
you should be successful in keeping
your enemy far enough from you and
long enough, you might cross the river
there and save your army. You might
perhaps stay there if not too reduoed in
numbers and if yon could keep your
line of Bupply open. "
"This air th' bridge I'd cross th
creek on, I reckon," pointing to Reed's
bridge on the map.
"That's the nearest from where we
are."
"Waal, general," said Jakey in
tone to indioate that the discussion of
the campaign was ended, "ef yon nns
bust me, I'll retreat thet a-way."
Nothing more was said about the im
aginary campaign by either. Maynard's
eye was fixed on his water map,' and he
was lost in study. Jakey let him alone
till he saw that he was drifting back to
his trouble. Then he endeavored to lead
him into war again. At last seizing a
favorable opportunity, the boy suggest
ed the propriety of sending some mes
sage to bis wife.
"Time enough for that after the
fight," was all Maynard would say,
Jakey was discouraged. He knew that
if his friend lived after the fight it
would not be his own fault
musket or wielding a saber. I'll go into
the fight that's coming and never come
out of it Then she'll not need to know '
it" I
"What makes y' think ther's goin ter i
be a fight?" '
"I would not have the intuitions of a
soldier if I did not"
"Y' hain't General Rosey."
"Nor do I need to be General Rosey
to divine what's ooming. Do you sup
pose I knew any more about war with
eagles on my shoulders than in a pri
vate's uniform? If there were some su
perior being to look into the heads of
the men composing this army and read
just the rank in accordance with fitness,
many a star would leave the shoulder
where it now rests to alight on that of
some obscure private. "
"Waal, ef we fight 'em, won't we
whip 'em?"
Jakey noticed that, with the change
of his friend's mind from his grief to
war, there was an immediate improve
ment from the terrible depression upon
him. He asked the question for the
purpose of keeping Maynard's attention
fixed for a time on war rather than for
information.
"Whip 'em? Why, Jakey, we're scat
tered all over creation." He dipped bis
finger in a tin cup full of water and be
gan to draw a rude map on the top of
an extemporized table, consisting of a
square board nailed on a stake driven
in the ground.
"Here's the Chickamauga flowing
between these two ridges, Missionary j
and the Pigeon mountains, from south
to north into the Tennessee. Critten
don's corps is here at Lee and Gordon's
milL Thomas' corps has just passed
through Stevens' gap down here, ten or
a dozen miles from Crittenden, while
McCook is at Alpine, 20 miles away
from Thomas. We are off here near
. Reed's bridge, the tip of the left wing,
40 miles from McCook, the tip of the
right wing. ,
"Bragg is here at Lafayette, on the
east side of the Pigeon mountains, and
opposite our center at Crawfish Springs,
where be can strike any one of our corps
separately. He can ride up on to the
Pigeon mountains, and, looking down
on the valley of the Chiokamauga, see
thing but the game that charmed him.
But Jakey's mind was as much on his
friend aa his friend's was on the prob-
Jakey was puzzled. .
lem, and ho determined to go on foster
ing the awakened interest. Unmindful
of the demonstration made thus far, be
suddenly broke out:
"Supposin I wor th' general com
mandin this hyar army 'n you uns wor
th' general commandin t'other army.
Now, how would it do fo' me ter inarch
out in the middle o' the night 'n just
knock the stuffin right out'n you uns?"
Maynard smiled. It suddenly occur
red to him how little Jakey know of
the game of war; how useless had been
his explanations.
"What would be your plan of attack,
general?" he asked, wishing to humor
the boy.
"Waal," said Jakey, who had no
more idea of what he was talking about
than the 14-year-old boy ho was, "I
reckon I'd put the big guns in a long
line on top o' th' Pea Vine ridge hyar,
'n jest scatter shot 'n shell like chicken
feed."
Maynard burst into a laugh. Jakey
surveyed the altered expression of his
friend's face with his bright little eyes
and chuckled, but his own face was as
imperturbable as usual
"General, " said the boy commander's
supposititious enemy, "what would you
do if I were to draw my troops out of
range?" '
Jakey considered himself bound in
honor to report to Mrs. Maynard her
husband's condition, not only on ac
count of his promise made her on the
evening of his departure for the front,
but because he had a vague unformu
lated notion that there are certain exi
trencies where only women can "do
somep'n," and he knew that "the gen
eral" reauired bis wife's attention.
Mounting Tom, he set off toward Ross
ville, remembering by the water map
that the right hand road led there.
It was about 1 1 o'clock at night when
he reached Rossvilla He determined
to rest there a few hours, and making
for a cavalry camp got on the "soft
side" of a sergeant and turned in with
his natural associates, the soldiers. Ja
key asked the guard to waken him at 2
o'clock, at which time, after a bite fur
nished by his friend, the sergeant, and
a feed for Tom, he set off toward Chat
tanooga. At daylight he crossed the
Tennessee river and was soon on his
way across the neck of Moccasin point
toward his destination.
As Jakey approaohed the plantation
it occurred to him for the first time that
the information he bore was not pleas
ant for him to give to any one, espe
cially a woman, and that woman "the
general's" wife.
"Reckon she uns'll be skeered when
she sees me, " he muttered to himself.
"I don't like this business nohow. Won
der I didn't think o' this befo'. Wish
they wor some un ter tell her. Mebbe
I'll see Souri first Ef I do, I'll let her
tell." ' '
But Jakey was not so lucky. He
reached the plantation just before break
fast time, and as Laura Maynard cast a
glance from her chamber window she
saw him ride np to the veranda. She
remembered well the promise she had
extracted from Jakey and knew in a
moment that he was the bearer of some
I bad news. Putting her hand on her
' heart to stop its thumping, she ran
down stairs and out on to the veranda.
The boy dismounted and came up the
steps.
"Oh, Jakey, what is it?"
Now, Jakey had bis own methods of
carrying his points, and whether or no
they were original or ingenious he car
ried them. Sometimes his parrying was
very clumsy. It was so now. He must
gain time at all hazards.
"What air what?"
"There's something happened to the
colonel. I know it Tell me the worst. '
, "Waal, now, Mrs. Maynard, "the
general' he hain't doad nohow."
"Thank heaven he lives! Is he ill or
wounded? 13 the wonnd mortal? Or is
his illness dangerous? Will he recover?
Oh, tell me, toll me!"
"Which un o' them air questions
shell I answer fust? ' .
Souri came out on to the veranda,
and seeing jaicey took mm into ber
arms.
"What are yon doing here, Jakey?"
she asked.
"Reckon I air a-standin on ter th'
gallery jest now. "
"Mark is ill, wounded, heaven knows
what!" exclaimed Laura. "He won't
tell ma" She clasped her hands and
trembled.
"Jakey, don't give Mrs. Maynard
pain by keeping her in suspensa Tell
her."
But Souri dreaded to have ber friend
hear bad news aa well as Jakey dreaded
to give it
"Waal," said Jakey, cornered, "th'
general, be air d d obstinate. "
"Obstinate?"
Yas."
"What do you mean, Jakey?" asked
Souri encouragingly. -
"Waal, th' general be reckons ther's
goin ter be a big fight 'n he's goin fo
ter git bisself killed. "
"Heavens! "exclaimed Laura. "What
does it all mean?"
"Means Miss Baggs. "
"Miss Baggs!" cried the wife, bris
tling. "So it's something about ber. "
"It's all 'bout her."
"Tell me what you mean this in
stant," said Laura, with flashing eyes.
- By this time Jakey bad got to a point
where he could begin to tell his story.
He did so after the following fashion:
"Miss Baggs she wor ketched takin
th' telegraphs off'n th' wires 'n turned
over ter th' general The general he
wanted ter turn ber over ter headquar
ters, but they was too smart for him.
They tole him ter try her 'n kill her."
"The cruel monsters! cried Laura.
"Maybe Jakey's got it wrong. They'd
not be likely to express it that way, "
said Souri. '
"Reckon tbet's 'bout it with a spy
anyhow. Th' general he tried her, but
when it come ter killin her he wasn't
thar." ,
"The noble man ! It is just like him, "
from Laura.
"Then he found out thet she was a
sister of a old friend o' his'n."
"Who was that?" from Laura.
"Mr. FitzHugh."
"Caroline Fitz Hugh?"
"Reckon."
"Who is she?" asked Souri of Laura.
"I I never saw her. I know who
she is, though."
"Then th' general he dressed hisself
like a private sojor, 'n he 'n Corporal
Ratigan"--"Corporal
Ratigan !" exclaimed Souri,
"Yas, he 'n Corporal Ratigan they
run her over th' lines."
"Well," from Laura, breathlessly.
"Th general he confessed, 'n they
tried him, 'n" Jakey hesitated.
"Sentenced him ter be Oh, Souri,
help me!"
And Laura tottered against her friend.
"Ter be cashiered."
"Do tell me what it is," gasped Lau
ra. looking imploringly at Souri.
"I don't know. What is it, Jakey?"
"Bein dropped out'n th' servica '
"And is that all?" cried Laura hys
terically. "Only dropped out of the
service, and for doing a noble act!
Poor Mark! I know that he will consid
er this a terrible disgrace, but to me it
is a blessing. Now I can show him how
I love him," and dropping her head on
Souri's shoulder she burst into a tor
rent of tears.

HILL'S P0L1TML HISTORY OF THE
UNITED STATES.
nnimrnirumnn
- -
By Thomas E. Hill.
This is a large octavo book of 450 pages, condensed by tabulation
into a small book that it may be universally sold and circulated at a
low price.
Its purpose is to clearly present, in a manner entirely non-partisan,
the merit attaching to each party. No partiality is shown in behalf
of any political organization. Like the dictionary, it simply defines.
It gives the best-known argument in favor of each, and leaves the
reader free to choose which he will serve.
It treats upon the important live issues oi the time, and is an indis
pensable work to people who would intelligently discuss the political
situation. It is a very exhaustive compendium of Political Facts,
and literally answers thousands of questions. t To illustrate:
What are Democratic principles!
What does a single-tax advocate propose'
If all tax was placed on land, what would
be the tax on the farml
What would be the tax on suburban prop
arty, and how much on the acre worth two
million dollars in the center of the city t
What does a Republican believe!
Why be a Republican and favor high pro
tective tariff I
What are the arguments for and against
protection!
What do the Socialists want!
What would be the conditions If Socialistic
principles prevailed!
What do the Populists desire!
If government owned and operated the
banks, and banks never failed, and people
never hid their money and all money came
out and into active circulation, and money
was so abundant that interest became low,
and all enterprise started up and everybody
had employment, what then!
What do the Nationalists want!
Why nationalize the railroads, the coal
