CHAPTER XXHX
THE HINKTEENTH OF SEPTEMBER.
Seldom has an army been in a more
critical position than the Army of the
Cumberland at thin Juncture. The Con
federates overlapped the Union front
on the north by half a dozen miles, and
between Confederates and the Chatta
nooga road leading from what was both
the Union left and rear into Chattanoo
ga there were only small bodies of cav
alry. Bragg had bat to overwhelm
these, cross the Chiokamanga and march
few miles westward to seize this road
and throw himself between his enemy
and that enemy's base Chattanooga. It
was his intention to cross Reed's bridge
by 8 o'clock in the morning with one
column, and Alexander's bridge, a few
miles above, at the same hour, the two
columns to join and seize the coveted
road, attack Crittenden's left, while a
third Confederate column, crossing at
Dalton's ford, would attaok him in
front Crittenden once crushed under
these combined forces, as it was expect
ed he would be by noon, the whole Con
federate army was to overwhelm Thom
as, still ten miles distant, leaving Mo
Cook, SO miles away, to be finished
later on.
There was nothing on the left to pre
Tent the execution of this attractive
plan but the two bodies of cavalry at
Reed's and Alexander's bridges. Eight
o'clock came, and they ware not over
whelmed. The sun stood high over the
valley of the Chickamanga, and still
the Confederates had not crossed at
either of these two points. The defend
ers of the bridges were a swarm of hor
nets flying in their enemies' faces, with
xoany an effective sting. Ai noon they
were still stinging. It was not till 3
o'clock in the afternoon that the de
fenders of Alexander's bridge were
forced to give way, and those at Reed's
bridge only retired on learning that the
other had been captured by the enemy.
So the morning and the afternoon pass
ed, and when evening fell but 8,000
Confederates had been thrown across.
What was to have been executed on
Friday, the 18th of September, must
be deferred till the next day. Will it
then be too late?
The moon is lighting up the field, the
woods, the summits of the two ridges
Inclosing the valley of the Chickamanga
and 100,000 soldiers. The air is cold
and crisp, and myriads of campfires are
scattered over the valley as a reflection
of the starry heavens upon the bosom of
a lake. All night the moon gleams upon
the steel of the two sleepless armies
the Confederates pushing across the
Chiokamanga, the Unionists marching
to oover their unprotected left Many a
soldier casta his eye up into the serene
heavens and remarks tho quocn of night
looking down upon him, so pale, so
cold, so dead, as if in mockery of his
own animate being and prophetio of
what may come for him on the morrow.
From the southward comes the tramp
of dust covered men in blue. At their
head rides one who before the sun twice
aets is to take first rank among the be
roes of Chickamanga. Thomas is leading
his men from a distant point far beyond
Crittenden to the exposed left and rear,
to the Chattanooga road the road com
tnanding the line of communication of
the Army of the Cumberland. It must
be a forced march, for the time is short
and the distance is great
From the eastward the Confederates
are poshing across the Chickamanga.
Every available passage is ocoupied, but
there is little left of the bridges, aud it
is slow and hazardous work at the
fords. Large bodies of men are like
streams. They flow easily across open
countries, but become choked in narrow
ways. Yet the work goes on. It is a
long night long for these men wading
through water or standing in the chilly
hours past midnight in wet clothing. It
la an eventful night, for if they get
cross in sufficient force, and the way
is still unblocked as yesterday, the fate
of the Union army is sealed.
At midnight Maynard lay under
tree trying to catch some sleep. The ex
ertion of the day would have brought it,
for he was exhausted, but his position
as to the army with which he had no
place was burning him like a hot iron.
A few days before, and he would have
been leading his brigade through these
stirring scenes. Now he was not even
private soldier. He was an outcast,
wretch too detestable for the respect
even of menial cooks and strikers, of
teamsters, of the grasping horde of ar
my followers, whose object was to cheat
the soldier and rob the dead.
The moon, finding a convenient open
lng in the boughs above him, locked at
him in a way that in a measure quieted
him. What an absence of turmoil on
her surface 1 No guns roar in her val
leys; no armies contend for the posses
ion of her ringed ridges. The thought
for a moment chased away his desire
fox oblivion. He shuddered at her noth
ingness. The scenes through which he
was passing seemed far preferable. He
was in the midst of man's coveted ao
tdon. While that lasted he could not for
long be plunged in despair. Thank heav
en, he was permitted to seek solace in
inch turmoil, such roaring of guns and
Telling of men as had come and were
coming.
Toward morning his thoughts became
less intense, less clear. The sounds
coming from a troop of horses picketed
near became more and more confused,
The .snores of men resting after a day
of hard fighting lost their vigor. The
branches above him twined indistinctly.
He alept
Ee was awakened by the sound of
(an. It was broad day. He started up
cad listened. Then came another dull
boom, then another, and in a few min
utes thn-e wan the rapid firing of a bat
tle on the li'ft. Surt ly that is not tho
little body of cavalry in whose ranks be
had fonght the day bofore.
Mounting, he rode toward it througn
partly wooded, partly open country.
The fields were gray, but tho woois
were sun green, inen www was mo
odor of the morniDg in the country and
the chirping of birds bunting for their
breakfast. It would not be long before
that perfume must give way to the
smell of gunpowder, before the chirping
of the birds would be drowned by the
sounds of musketry and artillery.
Meeting an aid-do-camp riding at
full speed toward the south, he called
out, pointing in the direction of the
firing, which he could now discern was
on or near the Chattanooga road:
'Who's there?"
"Old Pap, with two divisions."
Maynard uttered an exclamation of
surprise and pleasure.
"How did he get there?"
"Marohed all night"
"Much force in his front?"
"Yon bet 1 I'm going for re-enforce
ments," and in a moment he was out
of sight
A courier came dashing from the op
posite direction.
"What news from the right?"
"The head of MoCook's column is at
Crawfish Springs. "
"Good. The army is safe for the pres
ent The game is balked."
Striking the road leading to Alexan
der's bridge, hefonnd himself in rear of
the Union line of battle that had open-
And so the sun went down over a
Hold on which there was no victory, no
defeat, only Buffering and death.
To be Continued.

"Leave these ranks!"
ed on the left. A force hurried by to
the support of comrades at the front
The ground be was on had just been
fought over and dead and wounded
gcattored everywhere. Entering a wood,
he pushed forward through it. A young
soldier, a boy of 18, was sitting on the
ground, supported by a tree, gasping
for breath. A red stream running down
his bosom showed that he bad been shot
thiough lae lungs. "Yon are thinking
of home, my boy," muttered Maynard
and pushed on. An officer lay in his
path and begged him for what the
wounded crave so eagerly water. May
nard rode about hunting for a stream or
spring. At last he found what he
sought, and filling a canteen rode back
to where the man lay. He was dead
In his hand he held a picture of wife
and two little children. Within hearing
of the booming in front and shells cut
ting the trees above him he had passed
from the harshest through the gentlest
of human feelings to the eternal peace.
Riding on, Maynard met an officer he
had known intimately. Without thought
of his altered condition the degraded
oolonel waved his hand in salute and
cried out, "How goes the battle, ma
or?" The officer passed by with a look
whioh Maynard never forgot. It sent
the hot blood mounting to his cheeks.
He oould have cloven the man's skull
with his saber. But there was no need
of that Was there not an enemy at the
front? Yes, and there was death. He
dashed on and arrived at one of the hot
test points on the left just as a line of
oavalry was moving to a oharge.
Joining them, he rode down into a
storm so wild, so fierce, so full of de
Btruction that surely ho thought the
coveted death must come. But the gaps
in the ranks were to his right, to his
left, anywhere, everywhere, except
where he rode. And when the troopers
with whom he fought came out of the
fight Mark Maynard was still among
the living.
So opened the battle of Saturday,
Sept 19. Throughout that day May
nara roae wnerever ne saw mat grim
specter hovered. At times he was with
the cavalry, at times he would dis
mount, and leaving his horse in the
rear go forward with a musket. On one
occasion, catching the enthusiasm of
battle, he was forgetting his misfortune
when the officer of the regiment with
which he fought recognized him. The
two had been at enmity.
' 'Leave these ranks I"
Maynard turned, saw that he was ad
dressed and who addressed him. Throw
ing down his gun, the hot tears burst
ing from his eyes, he turned away,
Again he was tramping through a corn
field on the flank of a regiment when he
saw a division general inspecting the
men as they passed forward to an at
tack. He recognized the general who had
sent the spy to him. Their eyes met
Maynard had by this time come to see
through the device by which tho other
had led him into his present position
and regarded the officer steadily. The
man turned his horse's head and gal
loped away. There was one man in the
army who did not care to look him in
the eye.
The day passed with a succession oi
blows upon an army still too "strung
out" for its own good. But they were
all successfully resisted. Wherever
place was weak some brigade or division
was sent to strengthen it, usually leav
ing a place where it had been. But all
points were strengthened in time. All
damage repaired, at least the damage
on which hung defeat The damage to
the dead and thirsting wounded scat
tered along the line for miles could
never be repaired. It could be counted
and laid down accurately in the official
reports, but who can count or repair
the hearts broken with every charge,
every defense I v
and William
Lynched.
Danville, 111., May 27. John Hals, Jr.,
and William Royce, the two young men
of unsavory reputation who assaulted
Miss Laura Harriett and Miss Lillian
Draper, were hanged from the Gilbert
street bridge the scene of the crime, at
45 o'clock Saturday morning.
On the way to the bridge from Jail
procession was formed, taking the
boys through Main street. Halls ana
Royce walked with a firm step and a
rope was around the neck of each.
Royce wanted to see his father and a
delay followed. His father did not
come. Halls said he was not asnamea
of what he had done. They would not
jump, and they were both thrown over
the bridge railing at 3:45.
They dropped thirty feet and expired
in fearful convulsions. Their faces were
not covered. They hung face to face
on the east railing.
From midnight, when the crowd first
made Its appearance at the jail doors,
until the victims were reached It was
the determined, desperate struggle of
frenzied mob to mete summary Jus
tice, battling against heavy oaken doors
and iron bars and occasionally halted
by the grim stand of a little band of
defenders of law and order under com
mand of Sheriff Thompson.
A telegraph pole was used as a bat
tering-ram. No amount of parleying on
the part of the sheriff and no plea from
his wife could withstand the , mob,
which had but one object in view. At
o'clock Sheriff Thompson sent for
Judge Bookwalter of the Circuit court,
who addressed the crowd from the Jail
corridor. He counseled them to peace
and order and for a minute, and but a
minute only, his words were heeded.
Then another desperate attempt was
made to reach the cells where the two
men were secreted.
Finally Royce was located, crouching
and shivering with fear. His cell door
was Quickly battered down. A score of
hands dragged him unceremoniously
from his hiding place underneath the
wooden bench which serves prisoners
as their bed. Half dragged and hair
pushed he was hustled into the din
ing-room and seated on the table. ' A
while part of the mob kept close guard
over him the others continued the
search for Halls until he was discovered
in another and more remote portion of
the Jail.
A sensational incident occurred dur
ing Judge Bookwalter's address to the
mob. At first his words produced a
telling effect, but the leaders, who are
the most prominent men in the county,
replied:
"Yes, we know the Jury will convict
them and give them a severe sentence,
but Gov. Altgeld will pardon them out
He recently pardoned three brutes you
sent up from Champaign county for
twenty years and he will pardon these
men. If any other man than Altgeld
was governor we would not lynch these
men. But we are determined he will
never have a chance to turn them
loose."
The lynching followed in short order.

FIRST PLACE OR NOTHING.
Morton Want the Presidency and Elk- I
lng Also I Ambitions.
New York, May 27. The Hon. Ste
phen B. Elkins walked into the Hoff
man house one day this week and en
gaged quarters for himself, but his
name does not appear as a guest of the
hotel.
Mr. Elkins has talked during his
present visit with Mr. Pratt, and Mr.
Elkins also saw Benjamin Harrison,
who stops at the Fifth Avenue Hotel.
Among those who know and recall the
part Mr. Elkins played in 1888 and 1881
between Mr. Piatt and President Har
rison, there have been smiles of sym
pathy for Mr. Elkins this week.
Gov. Morton came down from Albany
early this week, saw Mr. Piatt, saw
several other men and flitted back with
out leaving any record or a call upon
Mr, Harrison.
To the few who know how bitterly
disappointed was Thomas C. Piatt
when President Harrison refused him
the secretaryship of the treasury there
was a touch of dramatic Interest In the
meeting of those two men in private
this week. Could the one placate the
other to the advancement of his ambi
tion? The determination of each Is
known to no one who will tell.
The visit of National Committeeman
Carter set the political atmosphere
gently In motion. It is not likely Mr.
Carter will resign voluntarily, and it
is equally unlikely that any presidential
aspirant will at this time urge his re
tirement on the score of Mr. Carter's
silver views. It is a significant fact
that the Tlatt publications are heated
to-day because some one has suggested
Mr. Morton for second place with Mr.
Harrison in 1896. They snort with de
rision at the suggestion of Morton tak
ing second place with any man on the
national ticket. And It may be set down
as true that Mr. Morton would decline
any such coupling of his name

BILL'S POLITICAL HISTORY OF THE
UNITED STATES.
ruvmnrmnnnn
r
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 of 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. To illustrate:
What are Democratic principles!
What does a single-tax advocate propose'
It all tax was placed on land, what would
be the tax on the farm)
What would be the tax on suburban prop
erty, 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!
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
