CHAPTER XXIII.
THE NINETEENTH OF BKI'TEMnHR.
Seldom has an army been in it mora
critical position thnn tho Army of tho
Cumberland at this juncture. Tho Con.
federates overlapped tho Union front
on tho north by half a dozen milc, nm1
between Confederates and the t h. f '

Cook, SO miles nwny, to bo finished
later on.
Thero was nothing on tho left to pro
vent tho execution of this nttractlvo
plan but tho two bodies of cavalry ut
Heed's and Alexander's bridges. Eight
o'clock came, and they wero not over
whelmed. Tho Him stood high over tho
vnlley of tho Chlckaniauga, and still
the Confederates had not crossed at
i Ither of thcMi two points. Tho defend

many an effectivo sting. At noon thoy
Wero still stinging. It was not till a
n'clock iu tho afternoon that tho do
lenders of Alexander's bridgo wero
forced to givo way, and tlioso at Reed's
bridgo only retired on learning that tho
other had been captured by tho enemy.
Ko tho morning ami tho afternoon pass
ed, and when ovenlug fell but 8.000
Confederates had been thrown ncross.
What was to havo been executed on
Friday, tho 18th of Soptoinber, must
bo deferred till tho next day. Will it
then bo too late?
Tho moon is lighting up tho Held, tho
woods, tho summits of tho two ridges
inclosing tho valley of tho Chlckaniauga
nnd 100,000 soldiers. Tho air is cold
and crisp, and myriads of campllros aro
scattered ovor tho valley as a reflection
of tho starry heavens upon tho bosom of
n lake. All night tho moon gleams upon
tho steel of tho two sleepless armies
tho Confederates pushing across the
Chickamauga, tho Unionists marching
to cover their unprotected left. Many a
soldier casts his oyo up into tho screno!
heavens and remarks tho queon of night
looking down upon him, so pale, so
cold, ho dead, as if in mockery of his
own nulmato being nnd prophetic of
what may coinoforhlin on tho morrow.
From tho southward comes tho tramp
of dust covorod men iu bluo. At thei'

maudlng tho lino of communication of
tho Army of tho Cumberland. It must
bo a forced march, for tho timo is short
aud tho dlstaiico is great.
From tho eastward tho Confederates
nro pushing across tho Chickaniuuga.
Every nvnilablo passagols occupied, but
thero is littlo loft of tho bridges, aud it
is slow and hazardous work nt tho
fords. Largo bodies of men nro like
streams. Thoy flow oasily ncross opon
countries, but boconio choked in narrow
ways. Yot tho work goes on. It is a
long night-long for theso men wading
turougn water or standing in tho chilly
hours past midnight iu wot clothing. It
1b nn eventful night, for if thoy got
across iu sufficient force, nnd tho way
is still unblocked as yesterday, tho fato
of tho Union army is soaled.
At midnight Maynard lay under a
troo trying to catch soma sloop. Tho ox
rtlonof tho day would havo brought it,
for ho was oxhaustod, but his position
as to tho army with which ho had no
placo was burning him liko a hot iron.
A fow days boforo, and ho would havo
been loading his brigado through theso
stirring scenes. Now ho was not oven a
private soldier, Ho was an outcast, n
Wretch too detestnblo for tho rospoot
ven of xnootal cooks and strikers, of
teamsters, of tho grasping hordo of ar
my followori, whoso object was to cheat
tho soldier and rob tho doad.

was passing seemed for preforable. Ho
was iu tho midst of man's coveted ac
tion. Whllo that lasted ho could not for
long bo plunged iu despair. Thank heav
en, ho was permitted to seek eolaco in
such turmoil, such roaring of guns and
yelling of men as had como nnd wero
coming.
Toward morning his thoughts bocatno
less intense, less clear. Tho sounds
coming from a troop of horses picketed
near becaino moro and morn rnnfiisrwl.
Tho snores of men resting nftcr a day
of hard fluhtincr lost tln.tr vlonr vim
branches abovo him twined Indistinctly.
Ho slept.
Ho was nwakoncd by tho sound of a
gnu. It was broad day. Ho started up
and listened. Then camo another dull
boom, then another, and in a fow min
utes thero was tho rapid firing of a bat
tlo on tho left. Suroly that is not tho
littlo body of cavalry in whoso ranks ho
had fought tho day beforo.
Mounting, ho rodo toward it through
a partly wooded, partly opon country.
Tho fields wero gray, but tho woods
wero still green. Then thcro was tho
odor of tho morning in tho country nnd
tho chirping of birds hunting for their
breakfast. It would not bo long boforo
that perfumo must glvo wny to tho
smell of gunpowder, boforo tho chirping
of tho birds would bo drowned by tho
sounds of musketry nnd artillery.
Meeting an aid-do-camp riding nt
full spocd toward tho south, ho called
out, pointing iu tho direction of tho
firing, which ho could now discern was
on or near tho Chattanooga road:
"Who's there?"
"Old Pap, with two divisions."
Maynard uttered an exclamation of
surprlso nnd pleasure
"How did ho get there?"
"Marched all night."
"Much forco in his front?"
'You bet! I'm going for ro-enforco-ments,"
nnd iu a moment ho was out
of sight.
A courier canio dashing from tho op
posite direction.
"What nows from tho tight?"
"Tho head of McCook's column is nt
Crawfish Springs."
"Clood. Tho army Is safofor tho pres
ent. Tho gatuo is balked."
KtrlklllL' tllO load 1p:iiHml in Alnv.n.

aud pushed on. An ofllcor lay iu his
path and begged him for what tlm
wounded crnvti so eagerly water. Mav
nnril rodo about hunting for a stream or

Eought, and filling a cauteen rodo baok

cried out, "How goes tho battlo, ma

wiiich Maynard novcr forgot. It sout
tho hot blood mounting to his chocks.
Ho could havo clovon tho man's skull
with his sabor. But thero was no uood
of that. Was there not an enemy at tho
front? Yes, nud thero was doath. Ho

battle, ho was forgetting his misfortuno
when tho officer of tho regiment with
which ho fought rocognlzcd him. Tho
two had boon at enmity.
"Leavo these ranks!"
Maynard tnrnod, saw that ho was nd
drossed and who nddrosscd him. Throw
ing down his gun, tho hot tears burst
ing from his eyes-, ho turned away.
Again ho was tramping through a corn
field on tho flank of a regl incut when ho
saw a division general insnectlinr the
men n9 thoy passed forward to on nt
tack. Ho recognised tho general who had
Bout tho spy to him. Their eyes met.
Maynard had by this timo como to sco
through tho dovico by which tho other
hod led him into his present position
and regarded tho ofllcor stoadlly. Tho
man turned his horso's head and gal
loped away. Thcro was ono man iu tho
nrmy who did not caro to look him iu
tho eye.
Tho day passed with n succession of
blows upon nn army still too "strung
out" for its own good. But thoy wero
nil successfully resisted. Wherovcr a
placo was weak somo brigade or division
was sent to strengthen it, usually leav
ing n plnco whero It had been. But all
potnts woro strengthened in timo. All
damago repaired, at least tho damago
on which hung defeat. Tho damage to
tho dead and thirsting wounded scat
torod along tho lino for miles could
novcr bo repnlred. It could bo counted
and laid down accurately iu tho official
reports, but who can count or ropalr

And so tho sun went down ovor it

CHAPTER XXIV.
comino or tiii: kksciivei.
Tho night has como again. Thosmoko
hns rolled away from tho battlefield of
Chlckaniauga. Thero Is nolther sound
of cannon nor musketry, except hero and
thero an occasional pickot firing. Thoro
is another sound within tho dark forest
whero Thomas' mon nro resting tho
sound of tho woodchoppor's ax. Tho
coininandor in chief of tho Confederates
hears it nnd knows, with a general's
quick perception, that anothor chanco of
destroying his cnomy is passing. Ho can
not enter the forest nt tho dead of night
to stop that chopping, and ho knows as
ho hears hundreds of axes replacing tho
moro appalling sounds of tho day with
tho clatter of tholr blades, and now and
again some great treo crashing through
Its neighbors, that by morning his eno
niy will bo intrenched behind breast
works. Maynard bivouacked on Thomas' line.
Tho two armies lay too noar to each
other to light telltalo cainpllres, nnd ns
all cquipago had been sent to tho rear
and blankets wero scarce tho army spent
tho night shivering. Tho wood wns too
thick to seo anything nbovo tho lower
branches. Tho men needed sleep, but it
would be as easy to sleep on tho battlo
field as in the continuous clatter of thoso
nxes. Besides distrust had como upon
tho wholo army. It was an anxious
night to tho generals, nnd tho men par
took of thosollcitudoof their command
ers. It was known that tho enemy had
been re-enforced from Virginia, Knox
vlllo and other points. It was rumored
that Bumsido was coming, but Burn
sldo did not como. To n uatural fatiguo
was added that moro appalling weari
noss of being constantly iu tho presonco
or death and tlio certainty thut when
tho soldier should rlso in tho morning
tho grim spector would rlso with him to
hnunt him for anothor day.
Thero is it streak of gray in tho enst.
Tho commander in chlof of tho men in
gray listens for tho sound of guns iu tho
nanus ot tnoso no lias ordered to begin
tho nttnek at daylight and which nro to
bo signal for others. Tho stroak broad
ens: dav comes: tlm Run risos; if. ii R
o'clock. Still all is silent along tho line.
It is only a miBtnko, only nu order not
received or understood by tho genoral
who was to load off, but in that mis
tako is involved possible failure With
all tho vaunted generalship on tho Hold
cf bnttlo what is it, after all, that turns
tho tido except tho mistakes?
Mark Maynard on that Sunday morn
ing was lying with his body in tho dirt
nnd his head on tho root of n treo. Ho
dreamed that ho had just como iu from
making n chargo nt tho head of his bri
gado aud wns approaching his com
mander to report a glorious success;
that tho general said to him nftor thank
ing him for his achievement, "Colo
nel, it will givo mo plensuro to recom
mend you for promotion to tho rank of
brigadier"
"General!" '
Ho awoko and saw Jakoy Slack look
ing down on him. It was ho who had
poken tho word "General!"
"General," said Jakcy ns ho saw his
friend's eyes open, "it's ben a d d
hard fight."
"For heaven's sake, my boy, whero
havo you boon, nnd what aro you doing
hero? Tho battlo will opon soon again
this morning. I wonder it hasn't open
ed already. You must get back. "
"I thort I war a sojor. "
"Woll, Jakey, you are a soldier,
that's a faot, and I'm not"
"Reckon I'll git cashyered. I beu
away 'thout any furlough."
"wnoro?"
"Waal, I thort I'd go 'n seo Sourl
aforo th' fight cos I moughtn't hov no
chanco nftor it. I mought git killod, 'n
t'.i-n I wouldn't bo no good nohow."
"Havo yon soen her?"
"Yns "
"And Laura?" ho started up.
"Yas."
"And yon told her"
"Ueckon."
Mnynard paused in his quostlons. Ho
dreaded to know how his wifo bad ro-cuivt-d
tho news. Did she condemn him
with tlio rost?
Jul. y put his hand in tho pocket ot
his coat nnd took out n card on which
wns a pletnro of Laura holding her
child. Maynard soizod it, and in n mo
ment his eyes woro rivoted on it to tho
exclusion of all other objects. His mind
drank iu thirstily all it suggested.

"Mark," ho oxoialmod su(ldenly7
"for theso you must win back your
spurs."
"Rockon sho unn ml llkn fa' tor hnnr
y' talk thet away," put in Jakoy sym-
pauioiicany.
"Jakey, I'm achangod man. I feel
that I nm to havo a chanco to vindicato
mysolf on tho flold today. For two days
I hnvo been fighting iu tho ranks. I
havo had only a privato's opportunity,
and thnt is to furnish material for tho
sacriflco doinandod by tho god of war,
whllo tho god only smilos on thoso who
lend tho victim. Today today "
"Somop'n'll turn up sho, y' bet,"
"Como. WO must Dot some hrnnkfiut.
Wo'll nocd it soon. This day will do
cido tho fato of tho Army of tho Cum
berland. "
Going to a group of soldiers noar by,
from whoso campflro omauatcd tho
pleasing odor of boiling coffee, tho two
asked nnd received a breakfast.
A fog hung over tho valloy of tho
Chickauiaugit which scroenod tho two
armies from each other. Mnynard and
Jakoy woro ignorant of tholr surround
ings a hundrod yards distant, so thoy
munched tholr "hard tack" nnd swnl
lowed their coffoo, quito willing to bo
hidden from Coufodorato flro whllo they
wero doiiiK so. Monnwhilo Jiiknv tmvn
his friond nn account of his trip nnd
how ho had arrived on tho flold nt noon
tho day boforo.
"How did you find mo, Jakoy?" nsk
od tho hcaror.
"Waal, I ast n good many 6ojers, 'n
nono of 'am know whnr y' war. 'Bout
dark I heard ono o' th' cavalry of th'

Ho was n-tollln how y' went with 'em
